Right On, Elon!

Would you pay a gardener hired to seed your lawn who never showed up, and neither did the grass? Would you pay a nanny who didn't pick up your child from daycare and never told you why? Would you pay a doctor who missed your scheduled appointment and didn't respond to your follow-up calls asking what happened? Would you pay a restaurant bill if your server never brought the food and you left hungry? 

The preceding questions may seem silly since the answers are all obviously a resounding, "No!" So why should we pay thousands upon thousands of employees who are supposedly running our government yet can't explain what they do to earn their salaries? Since last week, government employees have been stunned and outraged at being asked to describe the fruits of their labors, for just one week! That's because there are few fruits and likely fewer labors. 

What else can explain the furor expressed by so many towards Elon Musk, the world's most successful businessman who values the concept of work, asking employees (whose salaries are paid by all of us) to explain what they do. 

Wake up and smell the coffee, people: Washington, DC is home to the country's biggest amusement park. If you score a ticket, i.e. a government job, it's a free ride for life. As a graphic designer awarded many government contracts over the 30 years I lived there, I witnessed firsthand the total ennui of so many workers sleep-walking in high-paying positions who did little but attend birthday parties for colleagues, linger over luncheons for retiring bosses and struggle to stay awake during tedious weekly staff meetings where nothing was accomplished but an exchange of gossip.

President Trump has announced that those who don't reply to Musk's request risk being terminated. I say that's a great plan: fire them all and start fresh. If you've ever interacted with any government office in Washington and tried to get something done, you know that things couldn't get any worse.

Not Exactly A Fair Fight

Yes, people have died on both sides of the war between Israel and Hamas -- or Gaza -- or the Palestinians -- or whatever you choose to call the people who want to see every Jew, regardless of age, dead. Autopsies show the two Bibas children returned to Israel in a box after being held hostage for more than 500 days had been strangled to death.

Below is a letter from today's Wall Street Journal that illuminates the stark difference between the two warring sides:

Don't Feel Sorry For The Lamp

Many years ago there was a great TV commercial for IKEA, the popular Scandinavian furniture purveyor. It showed a bleak, rainy day outside. Inside,  someone opened up a box and took out a shiny, new lamp. They placed it on their desk, replacing the old, crook-neck lamp that was bent way down and looking very sad. The person walked outside into the harsh weather and deposited the old lamp on top of a trash bin at the street. 

It was pretty heartbreaking honestly, seeing the old lamp instantly forgotten and getting rained on. The voiceover said, "You feel sorry for the lamp, don't you? Don't feel sorry for the lamp. It's a lamp!"

I am reminded of that when I read that people are so sad for the poor, innocent Palestinians. You know, the people who want nothing but to see all Jews dead. The people who teach their children in school, beginning in kindergarten, that Jews are vermin and must die. The people who killed a young mother, age 32, and her two children, ages 4 years old and 10 months old (shown above) in cold blood, after holding them hostage and torturing them -- the baby too. 

I say, "You feel sorry for the Palestinians? Don't feel sorry for them. They are Palestinians!"

High-Frequency Statesmanship

Science has proven that the human ear can hear sounds within the frequency range of 20Hz to 20,000Hz, whereas a dog's hearing ability extends to frequencies up to 65,000Hz or higher. That changes their perception of the world.

In a similar way, some people operate on a higher frequency than can be understood by the average person. President Trump and Elon Musk are two people whose intelligence is far above the norm, which means that many of the rest of us may often have a hard time understanding them. 

The lion's share  of people who simply cannot interpret the actions of Trump and Musk are Democrats, who mostly operate at a very low frequency. Why do I say that? Here are a few reasons:

1. They take their political marching orders from dodos such as Joy Reid, Rachel Maddow, Whoopie Goldberg, Joy Behar, the dolts of CNN, Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Bernie Sanders, Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff.  

2. They find Jimmy Fallon funny. 

3. They believe there are 72 genders. 

4. They supported Kamala Harris in her quest to become the most powerful person in the world, simply because of her skin color.

5. They will watch the Academy Awards show, including the Red Carpet foolishness. 

6. They want to normalize Drag Queens as a valid lifestyle. 

7. They said President Clinton's sex life was "his own business" when he had sex in the White House with a young intern, but mercilessly ravaged Brett Kavanaugh for drunken behavior at a beer party when he was 17 and a private citizen.

8. They elected Ilhan Omar, a Muslim who hates America and thus all Americans, as a member of our Congress.

I'd go on but you get the point: Trump and Musk, both former Democrats who came to their senses, are taking a sledgehammer to the mountain of waste that is our federal government. The lazy bureaucrats who live inside that mountain are angry, scared and delusional, appalled at having to describe what they do to earn their pay. So they lash out and call the dynamic duo names, scrawl signs to wave during protests, and imagine Nazi salutes everywhere. It would be funny were it not so sad. 

President Trump, a known brilliant negotiator and businessman, is on his way to ending the three-year war that has taken the lives of 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers and 198,000 Russian soldiers. He's only been in office for a little over one month and has already spoken with the leaders of both countries about a path to a peaceful resolution of their differences, one that will benefit all involved including the U.S.

The Dems should just shut up about Musk and Trump and go back to planning their next Disney vacation, knowing that the world's problems are in good hands. I wish they could understand that everything is fine, but they just can't hear it.

There Is A God After All

The best proof I have seen as to whether or not God exists is the fact that the prayers of millions of people, including myself, have finally been answered: Joy Reid, a heinous disciple of the Devil himself, has finally been axed from the TV lineup on MSNBC. Which also proves that even dummies can learn.

Time to Trash Elon Musk

If you have nothing to do today except binge the latest Netflix series, watch sports on TV, go shopping at the mall, or hang out at the neighborhood bar eating pizza and drinking beer until it's time to go home and fight with your spouse, then I'm talking to you! You're the one who hates Elon Musk and calls him stupid, and wants him deported, and thinks he is trying to ruin America.

So, if you have nothing to do today except the things mentioned above, just spend an hour or more, depending on how fast you read, on Elon Musk's Wikipedia page. Then tell me he's an idiot.

He has two pages on Wiki. Following is the opening paragraph of the page entitled List of Awards and Honors received by Elon Musk. 

"Business magnate and technologist Elon Musk is recognized for his design and engineering work on Tesla vehicles and SpaceX rockets and his efforts to combat global warming. For his renewable energy work and advocacy, he has received several environmentalist awards, including the National Wildlife Federation's Connie Award and a Global Green award. In part for his contributions to space travel, Musk was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 2018, was listed among the Time 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2010, 2013, 2018 and 2021, and was ranked joint-first on the Forbes list of the "Most Innovative Leaders of 2019". On December 13, 2021, Time named him Person of the Year."

And that's just the first paragraph. What have you earned -- a bowling trophy or maybe a blue ribbon for your apple pie? But go ahead and trash him on your Facebook page -- after all, you've got the time.

The Outrageous Arrogance of Janet Mills

Governor Mills

As someone living in Maine I feel I can say with complete confidence that our governor, Janet Mills, is a complete and total D-word.* I chose that word carefully, as she is obviously a transgender male who isn't fooling anyone. That's why she's so hot for men to compete in women's sports, enough to hurl the petulant response at the President of the United States, "See you in court!

I don't know about you, but I get confused when someone is a "transgender male" or "transgender female." I always have to stop and think, Is that a man becoming a woman or is that a woman becoming a man? So what are they now? A friend of mine came up with an easy way to know instantly: just replace the word "transgender" with the word "fake." And there you have it.

*FYI, you can't call anyone a "dick" anymore; the woke lefties now require you to say"D-word." So if you run into some retard who pisses you off, whatever you do, don't call him a dick!

Something Worse Than Elon

Those foaming-at-the-mouth anti-Muskers are apoplectic over Elon fine-tooth-combing the IRS for fraud, waste and abuse. Led by raging Senator Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren, they fear that their tax information and social security numbers will be seen by invading eyes.

Hey, here's a news flash: Your tax information and SSNs have already been seen by every Tom, D-word and Harry at the IRS who happens to flip open your file. Ditto every tax accountant you ever hired to do your return. Remember that sketchy guy at H&R Block? What if he "did something" with your information? And BTW, exactly what would someone "do" with that information?

People should stop worrying about Elon Musk and start worrying about the long-term damage those Ozempic injections are doing to their insides.

What's To Hate About A Jew?

The New York neighborhood of Borough Park is home to over half of the 600,000 Jewish people residing in Brooklyn. It has more than 300 synagogues. I was born there and spent the first year of my life in that community.

Now I live in the small town of Freeport (pop. 8,776), notable for being the home of the LLBean Mothership. (My name for it.) Freeport does not have any Jewish synagogues. The city of Portland, 20 minutes away, has 6. 

Actor Paul Newman

I have lived in Freeport for the last 15 years, and in all that time have had one Jewish friend -- actually two since his wife converted as an adult and although she was not born or raised in the religion she adheres to Judaism's practices and celebrates its holidays. So, I've met two Jews in 15 years here, not a great record. Oh wait, there's a guy up the street who is Jewish by birth but his wife and his kids are not. He doesn't count.

This morning I spoke with my son on the phone. He lives in Portland. He told me that his only Jewish friend here went outside this morning and found a swastika painted on his car's windshield.

Meanwhile, in New York last Tuesday night, anti-Israel protest groups staged a rally in Borough Park, shouting that the residents were “settlers” and “Zionists” and engaging in fist-fights with the pro-Israel counter-protesters. Police were called to break it up.

One of those interviewed at the protest said, "It makes me sad and mad that our country allows these anti-Jewish, anti-American protestors from Muslim countries into this country. Also, the idiotic young college-indoctrinated students are clueless."

Jew Spotlight: Actor Paul Newman was Jewish. Besides being possibly the handsomest man who ever lived, he was a great actor who earned many significant awards and accolades during his decades on stage and screen. His marriage to actress Joanne Woodward lasted 50 years, until his death in 2008. 

He was a philanthropist who started the company Newman's Own, which makes and sells a variety of foods. The Foundation in his name continues his commitment to use 100% of its profits from the sale of their products to support children, their families and their organizations, both in the US and abroad.

"Trans Women" Are Men, Right?

I am very confused, as many others might be as well. There are lots of news stories about transgender women lately, and how President Trump is changing the laws surrounding this odd phenomenon. One of these stories was in our local news. 

A high-school boy who did poorly in a particular sport started "identifying" as female and joined the girl's team. He just placed first in a state pole-vaulting competition. He still looks like a boy, but he's taller and his hair is longer. 

I wish we could come up with something else to call these transgender women to avoid all the confusion. How about "men?"

We Need A Vaccine for TDS

I am surprised that TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) is even worse now than in the past, when President Trump is doing so much good for the average American, and in such a short time. Hopefully Bobby will approve a vaccine for it before every last Democrat turns into a babbling idiot.

Shown below is a screen shot from a Facebook post of one of its worst sufferers, illustrating the ridiculous heights of fantasy the TDS fever causes (i.e. Republicans don't care if planes crash, inferring that they have all been Trump's fault).  

The poor woman. As she says at the end, she is not sleeping well. Get some help, Kat!
