Honey, the Kids are Throwing a Tantrum…Again

Greetings Constitutional Warriors! It has just been one month of the Trump administration and one would think it has been a full presidential term. The work that is being done, and accomplished, at this frenetic pace is simply astonishing. Talks to create an agreement on the war in Ukraine. There are only 229 daily border encounters, when there used to be tens of thousands. A 137% increase in deportations of criminal illegal immigrants. Billions of dollars of wasteful government spending uncovered and a government agency shut down.

Of course I could go on for this entire missive. However, what is the response from the delusional apostles of big government? They are in a complete and total apoplectic meltdown over all that has happened in just one month. They judge/court shopping all over the country trying to stop what is happening—to no avail. And, as usual, they are throwing the typical leftist tantrum. These leftists remind me of the kids who threw tantrums in the grocery store aisle when they did not get what they wanted. Now, I tried that once with my Mom, and it was an experience that I will never forget in the Kroger grocery store in Ainsley Mall in Atlanta. But here we go again, the only response the left has to what is happening is throwing a tantrum.

I mean really, Members of Congress, many using harsh expletives, screeching about the temples of their false god of government being dismantled. I am still trying to comprehend what Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo) was talking about when he said “Musky Moo Moo”, quite childish and immature. My Dad had a saying, “Boy, a hit dog will holler.” Dang it if there ain’t a lot of hit dogs in Washington, DC right now. Perhaps what is most disturbing for these Democrat members of Congress is that Elon Musk is embarrassing them. Think about it, they are supposed to have congressional oversight over the Executive Branch departments and agencies. It was their job to be the representatives and voice of the people, our honest brokers to protect our taxpayer resources…and they failed. Now, here comes “Musky Moo Moo” and his Merry Men and they have uncovered the unimaginable.

Think about it: active social security numbers for people over 129 years of age, including up to 150 years of age? More active social security numbers than the total population? We now know that $22B went to illegal immigrants to help them buy cars, houses, and get a line of credit in America. Unbelievable. And y’all have seen more and more of these revelations. But what has been the response of the big government acolytes? Protests, or in other words, tantrums.

I mean gimme a break, in less than one month, leftists and Democrat party members are stomping their feet demanding impeachment. For what? Is it now a high crime and misdemeanor to reveal wasteful spending? Is it treasonous to terminate a federal government agency by executive order that was established by executive order?

This past Sunday, the embodiment of leftist temper tantrums, 60 Minutes, decided to stupidly air a segment featuring an interview with two supposed USAID employees. First of all, it ended up that they were not employees, but communications contractors. One was just a doggone speech writer for USAID Director, Samantha Power. I guess that goal was to make us all feel bad for these contractors who had lost their employment. I mean the sad sack diatribe about not knowing where your next paycheck will come from was nauseating. As well, it was bad theater and laughable hypocrisy.

Where was the 60 Minutes segment on the Americans who lost their livelihood thanks to the government shutting down their businesses during Covid? Where was 60 Minutes when some 8,000 troops were kicked out of the military, wrongfully so, for refusing to take the experimental covid shot? Really, CBS thought we would cry them a river over to government contractors, one a speech writer, for a government agency whose revealed spending of American taxpayer dollars can only be classified as corrupt and criminal.

Yes, honey, the kids are throwing a tantrum again, they have no solutions to offer. They are truly scared beyond belief that some horrible things will be exposed, think about how much has been in just one month. Running to favored courts is not going to save the Democrat party, or leftists. Their insidious tantrums are making great political ad soundbites, which I am sure we shall be seeing next year during the midterm elections.

Why was my experience throwing a tantrum at the Kroger grocery store in Ainsley Mall so memorable? That is an easy answer, because my Mom beat the crap outta me in public. And in those days, there were no cell phone cameras and no one called child protective services. That was how adult parents dealt with unruly kids throwing a tantrum.

President Donald Trump is doing the same thing, figuratively. He is taking the progressive socialist leftists to the woodshed and just wailing on them relentlessly. The entire country, indeed the world, is watching, and most of us are saying, dang, that has gotta hurt, while we laugh. Drill Sergeants back in the day had a saying, “the beatings will continue until your attitude adjusts.” Message to the leftists: the constitutional conservative figurative beatings (although leftists are calling for violence) will continue until you tire of throwing tantrums. We are now in the age of cell phone cameras and these tantrums make for some AWESOME memes!

Winning!

Steadfast and Loyal.
