Borders & Vice-Presidents
Columns/Opinions

Borders & Vice-Presidents

So, what I want to know is this: am I supposed to stand up and cheer now that Gov. Abbott and what’s-her-name in Arizona are making big sounds about closing the border after millions of invaders have crossed into our country? Even a little child on a farm knows if you leave the gate open to the yearlings’ pen, they will all escape. Running to shut it after they’re scattered all over the pasture will not get an admiring glance nor a slap on the back from The Boss. There will be retribution on the inattentive child, and let me tell you, it will be swift.

What these anti-American governors have done is treason, pure and simple, and I long for the days when people who committed treason were hung from a high limb. Now, we’re supposed to say, “Oh, how marvelous. These cretinous officials have decided to protect America, after they have allowed Lord knows how many military age soldiers into the interior of our land. Military men, already trained in their own countries, sent to join their comrades in already established bases scattered all over the USA. Surely, they would not be gathering to unleash hell on America, surely not. They’re just seeking asylum amongst our people, but they come trained and ready to strike us when the signal is given. Do not expect a ten year wait on this, either.

To my absolute horror, I keep reading that President Trump may select a woman running mate, and am I supposed to cheer for this, too? I do not hate women, don’t get me wrong. I just do not want to see any of those mentioned to be one heartbeat away from the presidency. Those women governors and congress critters mentioned would be lost as Mary’s Little Lamb when it came to being the president of the United States.

Every one of them, except maybe Kari Lake, has folded under pressure more than once when protecting the people in their respective states. And being governor of South Dakota with a population of 896,000 people ain’t exactly impressive, when you consider every big city in Texas has more people than that whole state.

I would just about fight anyone suggesting that most awful woman from South Carolina needs to be the vice-presidential candidate; why not just get one of those harpies from the View or Barbra Streisand or Dolly Parton, if you want a name without any governing abilities? Haley has backstabbed Trump more times than I can remember. Truly, I doubt the president has forgotten her traitorous actions, either, but he’s too cool to say anything now.

I just read this week that the big money boys have put up another 700 million dollars to help get Haley elected, and they didn’t do it because they liked her hair style or her crooked grin. She reminds me of the eldest son in the movie, “Legends of the Fall,” who was encouraged to run for Congress by business leaders in Montana. His father, Anthony Hopkins, asked him, just what do these men expect to get once your elected? You are the ticket to fulfill their wants.

Putting up 700 million is certainly not to make America Great Again, but to enrich them, their companies, and WEF comrades, at our expense.

Dislike is too mild a word for what I think of Nikki ‘take the flag down’ Haley; it runs more along the lines of extreme loathing. As Steve Bannon has said on more than one occasion, she’s more power hungry than Satan.

The other women, governors, representatives, etc., just don’t measure up. Didn’t this country learn a lesson in 2008 when it elected the laziest, most unaccomplished, most vacuous U.S. Senator to the presidency? I’m sick to death of identity politics, putting people like that beauty queen Gay as president of Harvard, as an example of diversity. Or the cackling, empty headed person in the vice president’s office now–what the devil did she have to offer this country except being someone who checked the boxes of colored, woman, and simple minded.

I would like to see President Trump pick a true Christian man of good character, brains, business sense or military experience, and love of country to be his running mate. They could work together to truly Make America Great Again, they could work to defeat the DC Sewer, clean up the DOJ, the FBI, the CIA, and everything else. The way things go in this world, I might as well wish that Andy Jackson would come back to help save us and our country. Mike Flynn is the closest I can get to Andy Jackson, but I believe he would be an excellent vice president for President Trump and America.
