As if in a Disney movie, a voice rises from the dark depths of the Sea of Ourdemocracy,™ a song emerging from a watery White House press room, a song festooned with glittering bubbles of gaslight gas, a song of devotion—a song we've heard before... 

“The President has done more to secure the border and to deal with this issue of immigration than anybody else. He really has!”

And here are some pictures that KJP hopes to plant in the feeble minds of the un-informed masses...

When I was a young NCO in the early 90's, I helped train various federal law enforcement agencies (ATF, FBI, etc.) as a Ranger instructor in Dahlonega, GA. They seemed to be good people, and mission first. This picture was among the first to frame my current opinion of federal law enforcement and our disgraceful immigration policies that promote open boarders and disregard true refugees.

Over equipped, under trained.

I will not speak to the politics of whether or not  Elián should have been returned to Cuba, although I have strong opinions on that.

Muzzle, Action, Trigger. His finger's off the trigger, but you don't point the muzzle of a weapon at anything not a threat. Also, the fed looks downright goofy. He's following orders from idiots, but he could have mitigated the trauma to a child and someone who cares for him, as I've seen done well many a time in other countries , much less our own.  Sorry for rambling, it brought back memories.  

Have a good weekend comrades.

Yours was no ramble, Comrade. I was one of two lone responders to a hostage situation in the early 1990s. As my teammate secured the knife-wielding hostage-taker I removed the child to safety and comforted him until MPs arrived. Neither of us used weapons and there were no injuries.

We acted with immediacy and common sense, addressing the situation for what it was, not for the dozens of nightmare  scenarios that might have made us hesitate.

We were there first because we got word on our scanner and happened to be closer than anyone else. It wasn't our mission but we took it as our civic duty. Somehow (we know how) civic duty and common sense have been replaced by the kind of rote bureaucratic procedure and timidness characteristic of the Uvalde police inaction and the recent instances of ATF and FBI overreaction.

BTW: some of my most influential trainers were Rangers. All of them made me stronger. Thanks for serving, Comrade.

  

Tsk tsk. That's the kind of toxic masculinity our society has decided it need longer needs.

Thanks COL O. And thank YOU for your service. You understand exactly what I'm talking about. Also, once again, I thank you, RS and the others for facilitating TPC. It's nice knowing there are like minded comrades out there, somewhere behind TB #2 (as rumor has it). My cube sits proudly on my work desk. Sparks great conversations with my students. Rangers Lead the Way 
 

Little Mernan of Mendacity

Apologies Colonel O.

The dilemma was between this non sequitur or advising Comrade KJF to post your My Shovel 2.0 memes on his classroom walls for instruction in shovel awareness at school for his jr. Ranger students. Too much noise drowning out common sense requires shovel readiness drills.

Forgiven.
 

The truth of mendacity is what’s happening, comrades.
