(A note about yesterday in Minneapolis: A woman allegedly speeding her car toward I.C.E. agents, her continuing presence itself a possible threat to agents, was herself shot dead by an agent seemingly in fear for his or his companions' lives. Naturally, the mayor, governor and the rest of the predictable local and national leftist lunatic fringe will blame I.C.E. for -- the words they won't use -- merely trying to enforce the law in apprehending criminals. Autos and trucks weighing thousands of pounds having become the favored objects of mass destruction these days, with government agents and officials routinely selected as targets, it would almost require a moron to hover about a scene of law enforcement where officers are performing their official duties. The dead woman was ultimately a leftist tool, nothing more, nothing less, and the fact that she put herself in the line of fire, so to speak, is on her and all the folks who consistently fail to comprehend what the term, law enforcement means. Further, that she would interfere with officials attempting to rid the city of pure welfare-grabbing and dangerous crime committing scum is hardly a shining example of intelligence. So who was it this time? A Marxist? A Communist? A mind too deluded to contemplate radical Islam's threat to the world? The woman had a choice not to risk her ultimate fate and she chose very unwisely. She probably could have become somebody of much more benefit to her city, if that was truly her concern. What a waste.)
Meanwhile, some Democrats are themselves "howling" because Trump failed to consult them before moving on Maduro. Truth be told, how many of these leftist blabbermouths would have kept their mouths shut, rather than putting our own military personnel in jeopardy? Yes, Trump shoulda, shoulda, shoulda, but how does one deal with the enemy within when the enemy within roosts over significant parts of Washington, always perched to feed its left-handed media secret things which are often not contained during crucial operations? Let Democrats explain to the moms and dads of kids dead by way of Venezuelan (and Colombian and Mexican) drug arrivals why Donald Trump is the real enemy here.
The U.S. military? Superb, the real super heroes not confined or restrained in comic book pages. If you were waiting for the Democrats to cheer military personnel on in the current event, you might just as well be willing to give up your rights and speak Mandarin or bow to Iran.
Donald Trump has a long-range plan, a good thing to know because China, Iran, Russia, North Korea and other nations also have long-term goals. With luck, intelligence and hard work, I hope Trump's plans will come out on top. Fear him, hate him or embrace him, we finally have somebody in the White House actually doing something for Americans and -- bonus -- the world. You want Biden back? Harris? If so, why? It may take time, and we all know that patience is so abhorred among both young and old these days, but many aspects of modern life have a real option to improve. Has the Monroe Doctrine been stamped in gold to live another day in the Western Hemisphere?
We are also keeping an eye on Secretary of State Marco Rubio, whose family roots in Cuba almost certainly have him on the watch for just the right moments to effect change in coordination with Trump's future agenda, however that works out.
While the world's sympathies must be with the long-suffering Venezuelan people, pardon me if I step aside to shed a tear for those poor zoo animals, caged and defenseless and probably too trusting against captors and killers who entered their safe spaces only to slaughter them one and all -- creatures which really were just like children in so many ways. The animals always get the worst of it when humans are involved.
From Smellya with love: I can't find it on the map, but apparently there exists some little country somewhere called Smellya, inhabited by Smellyuns. I don't know why they are called Smellyuns. Is it because they have an odor and smell bad? Is it because they live with rats which run amuck and make their homes smell offensive? A lot of Smellyuns have come to the United States over the years, many of them settling in Minnesota. The Smellyuns seem to be great entrepreneurs, just loving the heck out of America, having set up maybe thousands of businesses, especially widespread when Covid funds became available. The Smellyuns also appear to have had lots of support from Minnesota Democrats, with plenty of questions arising now over whether even the governor, known in some circles publicly as a "retard," had provided input in support of Smellyun business ventures.
The problem, however, seems to encompass a belief among congressional and law enforcement personnel that a good many of these businesses are phony, as fraudulent as the Smellyun day is long. Ingenious Smellyuns appear to have initiated hundreds or thousands of child day care centers in which there is no need to incorporate children. Instead, as big government money rolls into the pockets of the enterprising Smellyun elite, various buildings, houses and miscellaneous addresses are merely referenced as day care centers. If one has an address where day care center checks can be sent, who needs actual children in attendance? Besides, actual attendance in day care centers can create so many problems caused by children, so it's much easier just to keep Smellyun children home -- unless they need to be paraded into alleged centers momentarily to convince nonbelievers that day care facilities exist.
Of considerable interest is entrance into the USA by a Smellyun woman who went on to be elected to Congress, and like so many members of Congress somehow became fabulously wealthy in no time at all, as if gifted by Smellyun magical incantations. Strangely, she is alleged to have married her brother in order to help him also enter the country with no complications, perhaps so that he could enter day care, too -- though that would have been adult day care, surely.
Currently, the Feds are investigating allegedly widespread Smellyun fraud in Minnesota and other states. But what of the children? Will their mostly non-existent day care centers be closed forever, leaving them no place to go even though they had not ever gone anyway and there had never existed a place to go? If one marries her sibling, is he entitled to day care? Does he call her "Sis" and does she call him "Bro?" And what of alleged Smellyun health care centers, also mostly non-existent? Can patients get band-aids there or just pretend band-aids? The questions never stop. Wonderful people, those Smellyuns, but they really should return to Smellya and forfeit ill-gained American dollars on the way out.
Maybe Smellyuns could run German banks? We love the attitude of the bank where thieves broke in and absconded with millions of dollars of safety deposit box contents, leaving one banker to advise totally screwed customers that they should have insured the contents of each box for more than the guaranteed $12,000. No way was this official about to blame his own bank for holding open season for the creative robber able to overcome something as troublesome as a wall.
Zohran Mamdani takes New York City: And with Trump's help from afar, along with all the empty promises an avowed Democrat socialist can make, one wonders how long it will be before New York City takes Mamdani?
