The New Secret Service

The line of smoked glass black SUVs with lights flashing and in single file roared into the parking lot

This was the B-team assigned to a Trump rally as the A-team had been scheduled for a more important first lady time slot

This crack team of agents emerged from their cars all in dark suits, dark glasses, and a pretentious air of authority

Not listening to the local police this group of feds felt their orders took priority

Talking into their wrists and lapels they let everyone know who was in charge

With their glasses fogging in the heat the dark suits didn’t hide the fact that a couple of the agents looked out of shape and large

But they strutted around acting tough and made their presence known

While 450 feet away a disillusioned youth with a backpack had scaled a building in the open and lay prone

Scanning the crowd with intense glares this group of feds were beginning to feel like real agents of federal law enforcement

Assigned to this rally by the new leader, who rumor had it recently successfully defended the Cheetos factory from an attempted coup by the Frito Bandito, this under-performing group was looking for her endorsement

With sweat running down their backs this batch of agents were wishing the water bottles weren’t left in the car

Farming out the perimeter protection to the local police, this group figured that no one would attempt anything from afar

Obviously looking for an evil movie type assassin this team let a local kid climb up the side of a building in plain sight and assemble his semi-automatic

Bystanders singled out the gunman and pointed him out to the police but apparently that little tidbit was lost in the chain of command and therefore problematic

The shots rang out and the ex-President was wounded and an innocent spectator lay dead

The gunman was also killed only after taking his shots with a bullet to the head

Chaos ensued with the Secret Service looking totally unprepared for this catastrophic event

With pony tail flipping, unable to holster her weapon and blouse straining at the buttons, one agent was doomed to become the face of the agency they represent

Screaming “What’ll we do now?” and “where do we go?” another DEI recruit was not reacting but waiting for instruction

Unfortunately the TV viewership of the US has seen this sadly comic turn of events and formed their own deduction

A troop of Boy Scouts and three German Shepherds could have formed a better security detail

When hiring goals are more concerned with DEI policies this practice, when needed the most, will ultimately fail

When the UCLA Med School Diploma is hanging on the Wall

The receptionist had me all checked in and yes, this was the one office that accepted my insurance

All that was required was a $25 copay and that would be my only out-of-pocket expense. I had their assurance

The waiting room was empty except for one very obese woman who was obviously a heavy smoker

With her oxygen mask in place she mumbled about soda prices as she had just come from the grocer

She stated the price of the 2 liter soft drink she was consuming was up fifty cents since the start of the year

Then she said this was the lone doctor she could see as this office was the only one in her network taking new patients and her pains had grown more severe

The door to the back opened and a nurse called my name and ushered me into an examination room

She took my blood pressure, my weight, and asked all the questions like how much alcohol did I consume

She then said the doctor would be right in and only then did I notice the UCLA Med School diploma hanging on the wall

Being new to the area when trying to match doctors to my employers health insurance, I didn’t notice the UCLA med school graduate listing on the internet that I recall

Nervously I waited for the doctor and sure enough with a knock on the door a young black doctor appeared

The dilemma in my head immediately triggered the run reflex as this was a MD who might not be qualified to guide my health issues or so I feared

I’d seen the news reports on the different sets of rules for people of color thanks to UCLA’s DEI guidelines

I seems the academics in charge were more concerned with racial quotas and apparently born without spines

I need this physical as my employer demands it but what to do now as my mind is reeling

So what is the answer to this young doctor’s general question of how are you feeling?

Do you ask for a list of qualifications? Did any med schools turn you down before UCLA?

Would the doctor feel slighted and profiled if I asked about their background or do I just nod my head and say okay?

In between the I-pod being filled in with information about my heart beat and the latest immunization

I’m silently hoping in med school training the patient’s nose didn’t light up when the doc tried to remove the funny bone in the board game of Operation

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
