GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY

How can it be that lefty liberals have such a perfect record? They appear to be on the wrong side of every issue. I can think of no exception. There must be an exception, but I cannot think of one. For example, recently Chicago's Mayor Rahm Emanuel has promised to defy federal law regarding  people who do not belong in our country. He has promised to maintain the status of Chicago as a sanctuary city. He espouses the idea that immigrants help make our city great. Of course that is true. Why can't he and the other folks that think like him not understand that our country has the right, and responsibility to control the flow of immigrants into our nation. We all know that there are millions of people all over the globe patiently waiting in line for the privilege of becoming Americans, legally. Comparing a ILLEGAL ALIEN to a LAWFUL IMMIGRANT is like comparing a BANK ROBBER'S NOTE to a WITHDRAWAL FORM. Why is this a complicated idea?

In a sense both of these documents shown above are WITHDRAWAL FORMS. Are they equivalent?  If they were I equivalent, then I would like to make a withdrawal at a 'sanctuary bank' where there are no consequences for breaking the law. Is this really such a complicated subject?

SINCERE IGNORANCE AND CONSCIENTIOUS STUPIDITY

I have been thinking about the left lately. Why are they acting so crazy? I was thinking about the expression that goes something like: There is nothing more dangerous than a wounded animal. The Democrats, the democratic party, the left has been badly wounded in the wake of 8 years of our previous president. Our young, good-looking leader maintained his popularity over eight years even though virtually every time that voters had a chance to express their opinions about his actual policies they overwhelmingly rejected them. The Democrat party has been wiped out of state legislatures, the Democrat party has been greatly reduced in the number of governorships, and they lost their majority in the Senate and the House of Representatives under the leadership of the 44th President of the United States. They are mad. And the definition of mad that I am using is the one that is more associated with crazy rather than angry - although both work. I found this quote (below) from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. which expresses how I think about my political opponents. Surely they think  the same of me. And that's where we are in America today. Each side thinks the other side is ignorant and dangerous. It is hard to see how this ends amicably. The last Civil War in the United States ended after much bloodshed. Are we better than those Americans?  Are we smarter than those Americans who needed a war and military defeat and military victory to settle differences? I see little evidence that that is the case.

FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE

I admit it. I don't know what the deal is with Trump and Russia. This morning America was greeted with the news that now there is a cloud hanging over Attorney General Jeff Sessions because he allegedly spoke with the Russian Ambassador twice during the campaign season. Apparently the admission of these discussions failed to become public during his confirmation hearings. Let me be clear. I have a much increased level of forgiveness for Republicans. This level of forgiveness is not shared by Democrats or the press. When a Democrat lies (or misremembers, or forgets) it is not news. There are no calls for endless investigations. If lying was a problem, Hillary Clinton, would never have been allowed to run for president. She would have been disqualified by the press. She would have been disqualified by her own party. And she would have been disqualified by her voters. I can't imagine why (or how) Russia could have influenced the election results in the United States. Clearly their influence did not exist on the two coasts. For example, in Washington, DC, the voters supported Clinton over Trump by a factor of approximately 9 to 1. So, in Washington, James Comey's FBI pronouncements did not matter, wikileaks revelations didn't matter, the rigging of the primary election by the Democratic Party to deny Bernie Sanders the nomination did not matter. I admit it. I do not care if Jeff Sessions spoke with the Russian Ambassador. Maybe his conversation was similar to the conversation that Bill Clinton had with Attorney General Loretta Lynch on the airport tarmac. They, too, likely discussed grandchildren and golf. Do you see where I am going here? Trump won the election. It is now his time to govern.

Note to Jeff Sessions:
The next time someone at a Congressional Hearing asks you a question that you feel uncomfortable answering. Do not lie. Do not misremember. Do not forget.
This is what you should say:
