Thank You!
Mary reminded me that I have been remiss is providing my rants. She is quite correct; however personal issues have interfered. I won’t whine here; I do enough of that to my wife. My daily mantra (okay, throughout the day) is “Suck it up Buttercup. The only easy day was yesterday.”
BUT! I have to say that I was IMMENSELY pleased and offer a HUGE THANK YOU to the Senate Minority leader, one Charles Scheemer!
Of course he had absolutely no idea what he was doing. He was responding to the Marxists on his immediate left. GIVE NO GROUND! MEDICAL CARE FOR ILLEGALS! REFUND NPR!
As if the normals in this country actually support such bullschiff. Apparently, he was asleep last November when the country overwhelming voted for PDJT. Normals don’t like their tax dollars and other borrowed funds (plus interest) being used to give medical care to people who shouldn’t be here in the first place. Nor do they want those same dollars used to support indoctrination over the public airwaves. Or any of the other marxist schemes that was included in the Demonrat 1.5 TRILLION dollar addition to the continuing resolution to keep the government running.
So the gubbermint is shut down. Sort of. But that’s a GOOD THING! As several people wiser than I have warned, (but I can learn from them) anytime the government is functioning, your money and your freedoms are in danger. Marxists believe that the gubbermint is absolutely necessary for life as we know it to continue. Not even close. I bought gasoline yesterday. My wife bought groceries today. As well as booze. Drug stores and hardware stores are open. Banks are open. Wall Street is soaring!
There is nothing that a “closed” gubbermint prevents me from accomplishing. Everything that is mandated by legislation is continuing.
That includes the Social Security payments and the Postal Service.
BUT! And this is the good part. All of those “non-critical” parts of the gubbermint are shut down. And since they don’t have funding to justify their existence…why not turn them off? For everyone reading this that has operated a business, how many “non-critical” employees did you keep on the payroll? Okay, how many non-critical, non-family member employees did you keep on the payroll? I suspect not many. And, yes, I recognize “special” circumstances. But that’s in private business. Such special” situations don’t belong on the gubbermint payroll. So, this is the perfect time to remove them. Only a few gubbermint employees. The current estimate is only around 750,000. But it is a good start. Not all of them will go, of course. Some them are actually functional and some aren’t active members of the Deep State. The other benefit is the vast majority of them vote for Marxists. So, we can be rid of non-critical, mostly non-functioning TDS Deep State employees. That’s the multi-functional useful aspect of the shutdown.
Of course, Chucky Scheemer didn’t want this to happen at all. But the left wingnut hard Marxist coalition of his party wanted the shutdown so they could blame it on the Republicans….but uh oh..that isn’t happening. The Demonrats are responsible and even the Lame Stream Media are acknowledging it as such. And A-O-C is aiming to primary Ol’ Chucky. So, he has to prove he actually has cojones by shutting down the gubbermint. He gets to lose both ways. He looks bad to the country and he looks weak to his constituents. But they are in New York, so that may not matter.
