Unemployment

The Last Train To Rehoboth Beach

The train left the White House station for the last time early Sunday afternoon

On board for the final ride was the President, trailing so badly in the polls he was forced to change his tune

He was to quit his campaign to repeat another four year term as leader of the free world

But he’d grown too old, feeble, and lost the last debate now with his future at stake rumors swirled

Headed to his beach house on the train he claimed to have ridden over one and half million miles

He travels across the collapsed Francis Scott Key bridge, the one that never had railroad tracks, looks back at Washington DC and smiles

He will be remembered by children many generations from now still trying to pay off his debt

But that matters not to him as he played the Biden name for all it was worth and he still gets to drive his Corvette

He rides through areas where unsatisfied citizens would have thrown eggs at his train

But due to his economic policy and the price of eggs the people can only shout something profane

He is cheered however by non-citizens lining the bridges as they don’t work, live in nice hotels with free wifi and TV

He was sure he could have won by campaigning again from his basement and a huge number of preprinted ballots sent in by questionable voters in absentee

But the puppet masters said no, too many people are angry and demanding a change

So the obvious choice falls to the next in line to the VP, the person the current first lady spent the last three years trying to estrange

So the Border Czar will now be tasked with winning the election really hoping the illegal migrants will be able to vote

Crossing in huge caravans the people offer limited skills and a huge burden on a bloated national debt that has a struggling America barely staying afloat

But the man with the weary eyes journeys on waving at nine of his supporters twerking at his car from an overpass

Going by four charging stations with cars that are lined up for a hot and sweaty twenty minute wait for enough juice just to get them home wishing they had bought gas

Angry at being forced out he realizes his office is leaving behind a multitude of unresolved plans

Will the new leadership accept his visions of total greenscape, continued advancement of two foreign wars, and forcing the education of children in gender dysphoria and everything trans

So its with great trepidation that he is returning home knowing he’ll have listen every night to his wife screaming like a banshee

And hiding from the phone constantly ringing with calls from an irate Mayorkas, Blinken and Zelensky

Never Has The Bar Been Set This Low

The bar has never been lower. American politics has now sunk below the muck level

The fact that voters continue to put people of this stature in office and then complain about the choices continues to bedevil

It’s the same ticket from four years ago. Tired old fogeys on a self-serving power trip

And six months after voting leaving Americans feeling like they’ve elected a captain of a rudderless ship

The one bright moment of this election is a side by side comparison of these two shining examples of positive guidance

It should be easy to compare as these are the last two residing in the oval office and a side by side shouldn’t be rocket science

Trump’s presidency was continuously hammered by the unforgiving democrats simply for slowing down the plunder of the United States

Not one of the Washington insiders, his bullying, pompous critiques of opposing individuals became phrases that on a lot of nervous systems, grates

Never one to follow a script the man struck a nerve in many constituents with thoughtless remarks

Meaning well for America his knee-jerk reaction and quick temper gave pause to many when cornered he suddenly barks

Charlottesville, faith in the covid vaccine, threatening withholding Ukraine’s military aid, and not replacing Obamacare with logical health insurance, all spelled doom

But the upside included keeping the southern border manageable, keeping inflation down, changing the tax code, creation of the Space Force, and ignoring the Green Deal causing activists to fume

After spending two years of blaming Trump for his administration’s failures, the truth has been bubbling to the surface at an unprecedented rate

Was Biden truly vetted before starting his campaign or was he hiding in the basement fearful that his pedo tendencies would be cause to incriminate

On day one he cancelled a gas pipeline, threw open the southern border, and portrayed half the country as evil after promising to unite

He pulled the troops out of Afghanistan giving the country to the Taliban, Bidenomics is causing Americans to spend more to purchase less, and spends huge money on Ukraine after goading Putin into the fight

The national debt is now unrecoverable, he gave the government the right to take confused kids from their parents, scattered classified documents in his garage, denied multiple scandals selling influence for his greedy family, and surrounded himself with a very woke staff

He had America mask up, social distanced, locked down the schools, pushed a flawed vaccine all the while the media laughed off his recent gaffe

This is America’s choice. A twice impeached narcissist or a demented pedo who blatantly lies to seize the moment

Maybe the best way to determine a winner would be to give each one a dueling pistol and let them shoot their opponent

A Chinese Knockoff of a Chinese Knockoff

For years Sears Roebuck ruled the world with their catalog sales stores

A person needing help with his garden would walk into the tiny retail store and from the catalog order a wheelbarrow to help with his chores

These small stores always contained a small sampling of what could be requested from the order department

As one had to stroll past an array of Kenmore appliances and Craftsman tool sets before placing the order and checking the length of time for the item shipment

For years the consumer had to accept the retailer’s terms with the only option of comparing prices with the competitor Montgomery Ward

As long as the need wasn’t immediate anything could be ordered, from dubious medicines to as big a house as one could afford

That all changed with introduction of the discount big box retailer and Walmart became the champion of all

Selling everything one might desire, the huge stores became part of the urban sprawl

But the great thing about these stores is founder Sam Walton stocked the stores with products made in the USA

But a better profit margin was found in overseas products and shipped in bulk to distribution centers much to USA manufacturers’ dismay

Soon, as home computers became affordable and on-line ordering became commonplace, the internet giant Amazon emerged

Starting as a book company but eventually offering anything anyone could want the bean counters watched as sales surged

Manufactured in China, so what? The merchandise was priced less than brick and mortar goods and Americans think first with their pocketbook

Soon everyone was in the online business and cost of goods of unknown quality came down to a few pennies and free shipping to get a second look

It seems Chinese manufacturing plants were springing up overnight anxious to throw their hat in the ring

Amazon had created a price war among Chinese manufacturers competing for American dollars all building the same thing

Suddenly on the horizon there’s a new player to steal some of Amazon’s thunder

Selling a host of Chinese goods direct with no middle man this retailer, Temu is looking to pull the Amazon rug from under

So if one is willing to wait for the merchandise that Amazon could have had in the mailbox in two days

The slow boat from China could save money from Amazon’s prices if one is okay with shipping delays

Sounding a lot like ordering from Sears in the fifties it has become an all out price war for the American dollar

Just look the other way as the forced labor to produce the goods is paid virtually nothing and will never be able to rise above living in squalor

WEF

The conference was over signaled by the number of private jets thundering overhead

Giving the multitude of exhausted sex workers a chance to recuperate for two or three days in their own bed

The forum was chaired again by Klaus Schwab founder and forever embedded in that role

Thinly disguised as improving worldwide citizenship when the main goal is protecting power and riches of his elitist members and to stamp out coal

Concerned with trading carbons with the have-nots while hiding the fact the countries in power need to exploit the poor

We need your earthen deposits for our green technology to build more wind turbines on mountain vistas and in the path of fish migration offshore

“Your rare minerals have to be harvested under conditions we deplore”

“But its for the good of man the destitute and children are dying, so we can continue to ignore”

The EVs need those minerals to produce a short-lived battery to further pollute the earth

Dooming the wretchedly poor to work those mines assigned by geopolitical location at birth

Engaging in serious conversation while wiping the steak juice from their mouths on how to control those making a living working the land

Farm expansion, crops, and livestock need to be repressed and in some areas outright banned

Control of food sources is necessary to regulate the masses

“Keep em hungry” with limited access to food, oil and gasses

Much of the forum centered on how to monetize AI to further their dominance

Casting sideways glances at other countries while trying to figure a way to use this technology to advance their own prominence

But in the end all shared the usual optimism about ideas parroted at this discussion

When all knew at least half the members would cut each other’s throat to hatch a sweet deal with the presiding Russian

So before heading back to their opulent lifestyle with picturesque fountains, servants and gold- plated electrical sockets

They all took on last group photo standing on the backs of some impoverished indigents with their hands in each others pockets

But They Didn’t Dumb Down The Jobs

There’s been a lot of discussion lately about diversity, equity, and inclusion

The fact that employers should participate in this hiring practice has led to confusion

The DEI mantra applies nicely to government jobs where forms are handed out and clock watching reigns

However, in real world situations enthusiasm for this policy wanes

The person administering your anesthesia, sitting in the pilot’s seat, or wiring your home should be the best person qualified

Factors included in DEI shouldn’t be at the forefront to keep government officials mollified

Can you do the job? Have you been trained for the task?

Are the questions the employer needs to ask

One only needs to start with the current state of public education to understand the big picture

Currently the public education untold policy is to make students equally dumb and the teachers union richer

This all began in 2002 with the Bush administration’s brain child of the No Child Left Behind Act

A true government fiasco penalizing underachieving schools and had teachers geared to only instructing to the achievement tests so the tax sucking administrators wouldn’t be sacked

Then realizing disadvantaged students still weren’t achieving, they added a different version in 2015 written with exponential word salad

In government speak when a bad law is written with many whereasses and here-to-fors it somehow becomes valid

Since 2015 this is the law of public education and if graded A-F, it is still failing

Leaving higher achieving students bewildered, lesser students absent, and their place in the worldwide workplace dramatically trailing

Taking the cowards way out, some school systems have started giving disadvantaged students and those of color a break

Saying that students are not required to comprehend basic subject matter such as reading, math, or grammar. A feel good pass when in reality these kids’ future is at stake

Molly coddling these students has sent a ripple of awareness through the world of business

Lack of work ethic, job comprehension, and team work have been replaced by robots that never were instructed by this sickness

Robots invented by students that escaped this current state of education, applied themselves and replaced these unmotivated workers with a machine

Now it’s only a matter of time before the government will decide these machines need to come from a third world factory and will intervene

The workforce of America is now a product of the accepted policies from America’s school systems

Fast food kiosks, on line shopping, and blatant plagiarism enhance the ideals of public education and make America’s citizens the victims

Truth is the First Casualty of War

The scenes from the Vietnam War were horrific, dead and bloodied casualties were evening TV fare.

If it bleeds it leads or so the televison news thought as they fought their own battles for viewing share

But somehow Walter, Chet and David could look at the camera, read the news, and what they spoke was accepted as the truth

Today we watch what passes as news with a jaded eye as we listen to the deceitful press and Presidential sound bites becoming more and more uncouth

The silent majority suffers through the constant daily drumbeats of the threat of war

This isn’t a nuclear threat as the President has begun to callously toss around, this is the war on everyday Americans this administration seems to abhor

Biden has been in office for almost two years and his appeal that he’s not Trump is rapidly subsiding

His accomplishments to this date has been in all races, genders and religions completely dividing

His misguided obsessive climate change policies are killing the once thriving economy by driving up inflation and forcing America into a recession and further in debt

Let “em shiver in the winter, keep them immobile with the price of gas, and keep the fearful shaking with another lockdown threat

The fact is this reckless ineffectual pawn was elected by being a first class liar

He and his second class family are only in Washington as figureheads and for all the riches their position can acquire

His tired demented eyes view the migrants streaming across the border as indentured servants for the ruling class

While citizens watch their paychecks and rights dwindle, their tax money being pumped into a puppet foreign government and into the pump for a tank of gas

The solutions are painfully simple. Close the gate, reopen the efficient oil industry, and wean Zelensky from “Big Mama’s tit”

End the scientifically proven ineffectual vaccine mandate, hire the fired vaccine refused personnel back, stop catering to a small leftist mob and best of all, pack up the entire Executive Branch and quit

The American people deserve better. You looked into their eyes and deliberately lied

You’ve failed as a leader, a statesman and as a man. Resign now while you still have some pride

White House Friend Requests

The current resident Commander in Chief has been sending a lot of friend requests lately and hasn’t had many positive replies

While cutting off his nose to spite his face, he’s been asking foreign leaders for part of their oil supplies

“Because I want the US oil industry gone, I’m willing to pay big taxpayer bucks to keep my economy from collapsing”

“You see, I’ve been bragging about my Build Back Better campaign and now the escalated gas prices has a stagnate economy relapsing”

“I’m sending this request to you, Mr. Supreme Leader of Iran, because I need your oil for our gas”

“We’ll make you happy with a new Nuclear deal and let your uranium enrichment program become first class”

“I’ll just look the other way and turn a deaf ear to the fact you’ll be stockpiling nuclear missiles if we reach an agreement”

“I’ll use my creepy whisper voice to emphasize consent even though the American people’s opposition is vehement”

“I’ll also be sending friend requests to Venezuela and Saudi Arabia. They have oil I can use to keep the price at the pump high”

“I’m sure they won’t take advantage of me knowing I refuse to tap into our own supply”

“Maybe someone will positively respond to one of my requests. I’d send out more but most of the other oil producers have ties to BRICS

“Maybe if I do some more groveling, one or more may accept my request, after all it’s just a few mouse clicks”

“To keep my unrealistic and distorted vision of a zero carbon footprint, to the friend requests I received from Canada, the US oil industry, and a majority of American people, I’ll click ignore”

“Because in reality I don’t serve at the pleasure of the American people, I only serve to those few groups that can line my pockets with laundered funds in a bank offshore”

The Unemployed Union Meeting

“Okay we need to get started. Will everyone please pull up the footrests on their recliner as we need to bring to order the Unemployed Union Meeting”

“Please focus your attention on the screen as this online meeting is for your benefit from the comfort of your home and your laid back seating”

As soon as the meeting was called to order, fingers flew on the keyboards as the members were outraged

The time for free money had ceased, the stimulus checks had stopped meaning this group from society could no longer remain disengaged

“How are we expected to survive?” was the predominant question lighting up the chat side of the screen.

“We have fully anticipated for this free spending administration to acknowledge our financial problem and by now to intervene”

Some of the members had rocked forward in their chairs with a furious look while cursing the digital figure on the flickering display

“We’re in the process of demanding action on this right now,” screamed the Union boss. Her voice cracking in dismay

She had taken her list of demands to the White House for immediate action but so far her ultimatums were only in discussions

She did have a plan B as attention from the Build Back Better plan was currently concentrating on voter rights as that issue could potentially provide far greater repercussions

The members mantra had been “We’ve hidden under the guise of waiting for a better opportunity to provide for us”

Unable to answer when another stimulus check might appear, the participants’ lights begin to blink off in disgust

“This Union is a joke!” wrote one. “They take us away from sleeping in once a month and can’t share a shred of good news”

“This SUCKS!” wrote another. “I’m going to be forced to drink regular grocery store coffee and cancel my appointment for new tattoos”

“Just hang in there a while longer,” stated the Union Boss. “If my plan works, the new immigrants will have all your old jobs, and we’ll be a large enough unemployed team to force the President’s hand”

“They’ll have to pay us to save face while showing the stimulus package employs all these new people and you’ll be able to continue your current lifestyle and won’t that be grand”

We’re the Guy with the Broom and the Pooper Scooper

The parade is over. Congress had passed their bills and all the little Biden supporters are mostly happy.

It’s now time for the American taxpayers to bring out the broom and garbage can to clean up the glitter, ticker tape and all the horse crappy

Oh, it’s not going to cost you one cent is the liberal DC rallying cry

But someone with a five dollar calculator did the math and could cause that statement to go awry

It seems that some members of Congress want to be re-elected and a vote for this hot mess will result in them looking for a real job

Secretly wishing this bill would just go away but they feel that making a stand would raise the ire of the liberal mob

The bills passed the spineless legisature and the White House will say America will get better if you continue to pay through the nose writing those checks for the hidden taxation

And hope the taxpayer will quietly sit by simmering in their anger and despair in quiet resignation

The liberal squad will continue to be unhappy as they weren’t able to spend more of non-existant money

The homeless, the illegal and uneducated continue to stream across the border knowing the leftist agenda will offer relief in the land of milk and honey

Industry will be compromised as the New Green anti oil Deal will cause commerce to grind to a halt

The supply chain is seriously broken, no one wants to work, transportation is handcuffed and it’s all the previous administration’s fault

The pandemic is raging. The CDC appears to be a hapless group of Washington mouth pieces

Vaccine mandates, booster demands, and weekly whispers of a new variant headline every newscast as faith in all of Washington decreases

Left leaning DC is in line for a free fall of voting reality. Playing to special interests for cash and prizes they have over stepped their boundaries and yet continue as though they haven’t a clue

When they are all voted out for terminal stupidity someone is going to have to fix this mess as this group is in way over their heads and bitten off more than they can chew

This job was just too big for the ill prepared, insolent selfish children left in control

So grab the big broom and the pooper scooper as this group will disappear after midterms like dog turds on a dookie patrol

When More Is Never Enough

The American citizens tired of Trump’s raucous rants and hearing the words rigged, fake news and witch hunt were elated

Their Big Guy had been elected, they marched to the polls and did what Facebook, Twitter and Instagram had dictated

They all watched with joy as the Big Guy sat down next to a stack of executive orders and commenced to sign

The groveling media and leftists everywhere were ecstatic as the Big Guy autographed the bottom line

While half of America watched in horror, he signed away individual freedoms while taking major bites from their pocketbook

Time to strike before the new Congress can argue as they’re not necessary because the Big Guy has a phone, a pen and the public on the hook

Quick to rejoin the Paris Accord, the economic crippling agreement using US taxpayers to essentially fund China and other countries to take our manufacturing jobs

Indifferent to the cry from the right as the new left regime treats all citizens not in the socialist breakfast club as doorknobs

With a quick stroke of the pen he eliminated the Keystone XL pipeline and put 16,000 out of work

When asked about this one of his toadies replied “we hope they can find other work,’ he said with a smirk

This means dependence on foreign oil as this man seems willing to trade blood for oil demonstrated by US tanks rolling into Syria immediately increasing US presence in the Middle east

How are we going to pay for more troops abroad and the Paris Accord, the taxpayers of course as they are just a month away from feeling the fleece

This will be a demonstration through the deaths of Americans and foreign nationals that dependence on oil is bad while alternative energy is to be revered

We won’t discuss how the manufacturing plants needed to supply goods for this new energy are coal powered and landfills will soon be brimming with their toxic waste but compliance to the policy must be adhered

Soon the taxpayers will be shelling out for the healthcare and welfare benefits for thousands of soon to be illegal aliens now currently living in Guatemala

Because they all know American citizens will be paying their expenses as the USA is their big piňata

So shortly when the the left voting taxpayers realize their vote was a disastrous decision they have no grounds to bitch

Because in reality every left leaning device they used to mindlessly control their thoughts there was always an on/off switch

Views From The Basement

The voice from the basement came through loud and clear
His speeches had been rehearsed and edited so on his video he’s normal it appears

But all around him his handlers seemed concerned about his next big gaffe
Causing his detractors to enjoy the moment and all have a big laugh

The virus happening at this point in time for the Democrats is very fortuitous
Hoping the stay at home orders are in place through November frustrating Americans and him being victorious

America’s buoyant economy and the man in charge were dealt a very lousy hand
The Dems in their perfect 20/20 hindsight state how prepared they’d have been to take command

Perhaps they could use as an example their highly successful cash for clunkers incentive
But one will never hear that from the media as that might prove insensitive

Viewing from his cellar through his periscope he wants to make 11 million undocumented people citizens
Guaranteeing the leftists stay in power for the foreseeable future supporting the New World Order visions

Taxes would be raised exponentially to support these new people as most small businesses were shuttered due to state mandates
The new poor would have to rely on the government for subsistence, all part of the devious plan of the candidate

When a vaccine is developed there will be orders issued to implant proof of procedure chips in all residents
Without regard to peoples’ privacy, to keep citizens under Big Brother’s thumb will become the new precedent.

So the dems are prepping a angry woman to assume the reins when the newly elected man is sent to Shady Acres Rest Home
Already rejected once by her own party she’ll show the world who’s in charge with an intense leftist retaliation syndrome

All this can be seen by the presidential candidate peering into the shaken world through his periscope
Using his impeccable hindsight to continually push his anti capitalistic taxation heavy envelope

Gone with the Wave of a Wand

IMG_1120Keeping up with the Jones’ in the well heeled neighborhood was easy not so long ago

Money was blown that hadn’t yet been earned but borrowing and terms were easy so you could owe

Critical items were needed like ten dollar coffee stops and hair and nails done by appointment

Knowing you had to put off the new phone because the note was due on the luxury SUV was a disappointment

But there was food in the fridge and eating out three times a week seemed like money well spent

Still at the end of the month after all was paid you wonder where it all went

Then came the pandemic a disease that was supposed to happen in other countries but not here

Yet local businesses closed, the income flow ceased peeling away the comfortable veneer

Formally sociable people turned common sense into panic and panic into hoarders

The media and government had every citizen contagious and to slow the spread closed the borders

An ugly realization that bills were still due, the ATM show zero balance and credit cards were maxed

Hoping like crazy the mortgage company’s late fee policy would be relaxed

The news reporters were showing the daily casualty numbers and stores’ empty shelves

All advising the merits of staying at home while broadcasting remotely themselves

The pantry and refrigerator are now empty and the family just finished the last box of cereal

Suddenly poor and humble, the humiliation of asking for assistance seemed immaterial

With hair tucked under a scarf and chipped nails you inch along in the the food line watching the gas gauge point to low

Wishing you’d had fewer dinner parties with thirty dollar bottles of Merlot

This can’t be happening in America, it’s a birthright ticket to easy street

Not sitting in a sweltering line of cars hoping for a box of food so the family will be able to eat
