What Is Happening To Us

I have trouble with the WSJ complaining that Florida has hobbled job growth by requiring verification of work authorization on new hires, stating that one-third of Florida’s construction workforce and one-half of farmhands are undocumented immigrants. Simultaneously, we hear that job participation amongst able-bodied American males in their twenties is at an all-time low. Analyzing this data, one can only conclude that we require cheap immigrant labor to do jobs that Americans are unwilling to do because they have been given the option of sitting on the couch and being subsidized with taxpayer dollars. Further, studies show that the first wave of immigrants is willing to do the work, but once they are established in this country, their children are more likely to adopt the posture of American-born couch potatoes. If that is indeed the case, this country has a significantly greater problem than immigration alone. 

These figures also jibe with reports that 70 percent of military-age Americans are unfit for service, failing to qualify by not meeting physical or mental standards. The creep of socialism is debilitating our workforce.

American Bashing

So we had to endure another rendition of the alternative national anthem at the Super Bowl, by Charlie Puth and anti-ICE sympathizing, Bad Bunny celebrating everything except America, and now all these US Olympians using their platforms to disparage America over policies they may not agree with, but are supported by a majority of Americans who democratically voted for them. First of all, these brainless journalists with an agenda have to stop poking the bear and asking these adolescents leading questions on topics they have no business commenting on, having lived cloistered lives in training surrounded by a cocoon of trainers, coaches, family and like minded athletes. They made it to the Olympics based on athletic talent not their acumen in government affairs, geopolitics, economics and immigration, let alone pesky little details like the Constitution. Further, this attempt to paint Trump as being a threat to the LGBTQ community is preposterous. There are gay members in his administration that he chose based on their abilities, not their sexual orientation and he has never shown a bias towards the Ls the Bs or the Qs. Now if not allowing men to compete in women’s sports is your definition of discrimination against the Ts you probably should take a survey, because polls show that the LGBs are not all that enthralled with the Ts on that issue. And neither are actual female athletes. So how about we stop looking like opportunistic asses on foreign soil and stop criticizing the country that got you there. It’s a bad look. Come home and join an  anti-ICE protest, move to Minneapolis, adopt a Somali…..whatever floats your boat. But until then, stop airing our dirty laundry with our flag on your chest at the Olympics. It’s unbecoming and alienates half of your country. We want to support you, to like you, to cheer you to victory. Please don’t give us a reason not to. 

Hypocrisy Reigns Supreme

The hypocrisy of the left on display. Most recently Billie Eilish as an example, the 24 year-old pop star and one of the current poster children for the entertainment industry’s penchant for the bizarre and gender confusion. Her rant at the Grammy Awards  “No one is illegal on stolen land” failed to account for her multi-million dollar mansion recently constructed on the Native American Matobe tribe’s claimed sacred land, the same stolen land where she reportedly spends exorbitantly on security, presumably to keep out undesirables. So, in other words, we have a proponent of open borders who has built a fortress on stolen land where she enforces its borders. Really? Like the leftist lunatics that took over the streets of Portland, the first thing they did was set up checkpoints where they demanded to see your papers to keep out those that weren’t like-minded liberals and essentially establishing……you guessed it: borders. They argue that we all live on stolen land; therefore, there can be no borders. As a result, nobody is an illegal immigrant, discounting centuries of shifting borders, wars, and conquests that have shaped modern civilization. If we discard all that history, we are discarding governments and countries as mere mental constructs, and we descend into chaos. And with that,  the concept of property goes as well. You have publicly demonstrated your unawareness and hypocrisy beyond the pale. Billie!

Fort Worth Bellwether

The democrat turnout in the polls in Fort Worth, flipping a staunchly Republican congressional district, is not a good sign. It is becoming apparent that Americans want to virtue signal above all else and are easily manipulated by false Progressive narratives. The immigrant kid in the bunny hat, the saintly ICU nurse, the mom just dropping her kid off at school, the Maryland dad. And don’t even get me started on George Floyd. And the media propaganda machine keeps churning it out. Has anyone heard about the thousands of missing immigrant children that ICE has recovered? Nope. What about the Trump accounts putting money in the pockets of the next generation, giving them a piece of the pie?  Not that either. Drug overdose deaths down, violent crime reaching historic lows? Uh-uh. And where did all the news of massive fraud in the Minnesota welfare system disappear to? All overshadowed by hysteria whipped up by progressive politicians and their media mouthpieces to distract from real accomplishments. Enforcing our laws and maintaining our national sovereignty be damned. Americans want convenience, free stuff, and above all, to appear righteous. Laws of the land and our standing on the world stage are no longer even considerations, and most are too complacent 

to realize the long-term impact. Measles anyone?  

Grotesque Grammys

And we have the remarkably self-absorbed Grammy Awards crowd of misfits, and weirdos, breathlessly celebrated by the media for their cutting-edge fashion and artistry… but especially their political acumen. Even Don Lemon got a standing ovation from these deviants. 

Like anyone with an IQ above 100 needs to be guided politically by Bad Bunny, Machine Gun Kelly, Tyler The Creator, or perhaps Justin Bieber who performed in his underwear. Lady Gaga with her head in a basket?  Check. Or maybe Chappell Roan (who?) appearing topless, replete with nipple rings, on the red carpet. Talk about desperate for attention. Perhaps a Grammy nomination should come with a voucher for psychiatric services, though I suspect most of them are already regular couch occupants. 

Rotten Apple

I’ll tell you, the Apple News feed is on full throttle. They are trolling for anti-Trump articles wherever they can find them. Reading the posts, you would suspect that his policies are all failing, inflation has failed to meet targets, the economy is in freefall, the American public favors open immigration, all our allies hate us, he has illegally killed innocent fishermen in Venezuela, and he has made healthcare unaffordable. We are going to lose the midterms unless we have a remarkable economic boom and figure out how to right the healthcare ship that Obamacare sunk. Screw foreign policy, Americans don’t care. All they care about is money in their pockets, especially when somebody else is putting it there. 

Oh Peggy, My Peggy

Peggy Noonan is at it again. She criticized Trump over his spat with Canadian PM Carney, admonishing, “Friends” don’t speak to each other this way. When is she going to figure out that Carney, and most of our opportunistic world leaders, for that matter, are not our friends?  He ran for office on a resist-Trump platform and has done everything he can to fulfill his pledge. Canada has been engaging in unfair trade practices with the US for decades, along with the rest of our NATO “friends,” and like most welfare recipients, they now assume that level of subsidy to be the status quo. And Trump is right that Canada benefits from US protection, making Carney’s chest thumping and posturing not only insulting but rather short-sighted for a country so geographically close to Russia, which, along with China, is making aggressive forays into the Arctic.  Friends can have disagreements, especially when one is taking advantage of the other, and sometimes tough love is required, but you don’t run into the arms of the enemy. That’s no friend, Peggy!
