Thank you

I suppose those of us who live in "blue" cities should be thanking the taxpayers of red states for their eagerness to spend the estimated hundreds of millions of dollars ($1.8 million a day for Washington, DC alone!) to help us with our Neighborhood Watch, infrastructure improvement and city beautification projects by sending National Guard troops. It would, of course, probably have been less expensive to simply provide the money to the city governments, but since the MAGA voters are happy spending their money, and sending their sons and daughters to our community to intimidate the libs with their pruning and sweeping and mulching, we should be thankful. I'm sure the cities will be happy to channel the money they would have had to spend doing it into other things, like compensating for the administrations draconian cuts to social services. 

We would also be remiss if we didn't appreciate the red states' willingness to let their citizens become a bit hungrier, sicker, more addicted and less safe so that we don't have to see trash on our streets. Again, thank you for your generosity. I hear that our Vice President is especially enthusiastic about gratitude. We'll take the money we don't have to spend on landscaping and apply it to social programs that help our citizens. 

So, again, thanks. If you'd like to pay more to improve the quality of life for urbanites living in cities run by Democrats, please feel free.

Somebody didn't get the memo...

Further to my recent post regarding the removal of factual data from government websites, it seems even members of the Big-Beautiful-Administration's Office of Obfuscation can't keep track of which lies they've been telling. A tangled web indeed.

‘Idiocracy’: Trump Aide Mocked For Sharing Graph on Far-Left Versus Far-Right Violence
Facts is facts
Political violence is horrifying, and unacceptable. But if we are going to have any chance to find solutions to it, we have to be honest about it. Clearly, the current regime has no real interest in finding solutions. Still waiting for der Mango Führer to explain how an ex-marine, known to festoon his home and family with Trump t-shirts and yard signs is the product of "Radical Left" rhetoric.
