You can’t fool children. Or dogs. They can spot a bad guy in a second.
They’re both born perfect. It takes people to mess them up.
Children’s eyes see what has been hidden from older eyes. And, of course, we all know “Dog” spelled backwards is God.
Joe’s dogs, and son Hunter, have had a tough time.
You know about Hunter from his laptop. As far as dogs go, there have been three German Shepherds in the White House, Major, Champ and Commander.
And all three have been “sent to a farm,” because they had a nasty habit of biting people.
Critics theorize that proper dog training would have made a difference.
Reports of Secret Service agent Biting-Sightings caused The New York Times to ask peevishly, “How Many Bites Does It take?”
All the blame was placed on the dog. Three dogs. That seems coincidental, that all three dogs were bad-tempered.
The dogs should not get a pass on bad behavior. That’s a given. But a dog, like a child, will act out to let you know there’s something wrong.
Eating slippers. Gnawing on woodwork. (That’s the dogs.) Throwing temper tantrums. Getting hooked on drugs.
In the case of Major, Champ and Commander, they were good for something. While they were around, they provided great photo ops for Joe.
Joe used them. He does that a lot.
During the 2020 Presidential Campaign, Champ and Major appeared in campaign ads, and Joe tweeted, “Some Americans celebrate National Cat Day. Some celebrate National Dog day. President Trump celebrates neither. It says a lot. It’s time to put a pet back in the White House.”
Joe’s right. It does say a lot. About the environment in the Biden family.
There was also a tweet posted by Hunter’s daughter, Naomi, which showed Champ and Major chomping a chew toy that looked like Trump.
In 2021, the Bidens announced Major was no longer a White House resident, because he “displayed agitated behavior,” and that a new pup, Commander was moving in as First Dog.
Some people should never be parents. Or have pets.
Actually, some people should never be president, or allowed to be near children.
Instead of banning the Biden Dogs forever, here’s an idea.
Dogs can detect cancer. They can find cadavers and locate drugs.
The FBI should have repurposed them. The dogs could have been used to see who brought cocaine into the West Wing. The Secret Service couldn’t. Neither could the FBI.
They probably could have sniffed out the coward who leaked a draft of the Supreme Court’s opinion overturning Roe v. Wade. An eight-month, 126 interview investigation by Supreme Court Marshal Gail Curley wasn't able to.
“Dogs have a special power to sense if a person is good or bad,” animal behaviorist Stanley Coren stated.
“When it comes to spotting bad people, dogs never fail.”
And when it comes to figuring out things, like the economy and inflation, a seventh grader did a better job than Trump’s former Director of National Economic Council Larry Kudlow, whom I love and respect, and Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen, whom I don’t.
Donald Trump is popular among his friends, Joshua Adler told Breitbart News while attending Turning Point Action’s “The People’s Convention” in Detroit.
He and his buddies are using candy as their litmus test for inflation and for choosing a presidential candidate.
“When I went to the sports center in Eau Claire, the Airheads, now they’re 50 cents. They used to be 25.”
He agreed that makes Trump more appealing among young people in recent years.
He said he looked forward to hearing Trump talk about how “he can save this country," and say "That it’s not too late to save my generation.”
Just goes to show you. You can’t fool kids. They can spot a good guy in a second.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots.
