“There is a sense that things, if you keep positive and optimistic about what can be done, do work out.” Hillary Clinton

When the cat's away, the mice will play. And Joe’s “mice” in his Deep State administration have been playing.
Joe’s at the beach, so his Deep Stater’s thought they would take a break, too.
Why should they bother to work if the Big Guy isn’t.
So, whatever your problem is as a citizen, you’re on your own. The lights are on, but nobody's home.
If you are literally underwater in North Carolina, Joe will get back to you from the beach in Delaware.
Later this week.
And Kamala will check in after she finishes fundraising in California and Las Vegas.
If you’re a Jew being bombarded by missiles in Israel, Joe will tell you, “I told you to give up…Oh, and by the way, we really are there for you, wink, wink, but you can forget about the armaments we promised…they’ve…been delayed.”
You meet people every day of the week who would make better presidents than these two.
And yet, here we are.
During Joe and Kamala’s reign, people have become afraid. About most everything. And they have become less well served by their elected officials.
People are afraid to put Trump for President signs on their lawns, while Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo can say whatever she pleases.
“I don’t know how we have gotten here, but we sure as hell have to get out of here and get Kamala in the White House,” Raimondo said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” last week.
“Let’s extinguish him for good,” Raimondo said, adding of course what she really meant was “voting” as extinguishing.
Last June, Virgin Island Delegate Stacey Plaskett told MSNBC’‘s Jonathan Capehart, former President Donald Trump “needs to be shot,” then hastily added she meant “stopped.”
Plaskett is a Democrat, ranking member of the House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of Federal Government, and impeachment manager for Trump’s second impeachment. She thinks she can say whatever she pleases.
With war, inflation, immigrant invasions, gaslighting, assassination attempts, and Tim Walz, the only thing Joe and Kamala haven’t unloosed on the nation are locusts.
“We need to lower our expectations for Tim Walz at the VP debate with JD Vance,” former senator Claire McCaskill said on MSNBC’s Deadline: White House.
“It will be a challenge for Walz to counter the points made by Vance while still remaining likeable,” she said about the man running for the second most important office in the country.
Of course, this was from a gal who has harbored a Hillary type resentment against Trump ever since she lost her re-election bid to the Senate after she voted for Trump’s impeachment. And her constituents didn't like it.
It’s slim pickins’ when it comes to Democrats, and especially with Joe and his Cabinet.
In advance of a strike by 45,000 dockworkers, which would cripple the U.S. economy to the tune of billions of dollars per day, CNBC host Becky Quick asked Commerce Secretary Raimondo.
“What would this mean for commerce in this country? What would it mean for businesses if we go into this strike? And what do you know about it?”
“I have not been very focused on that,” was Raimondo's response. “I would refer you to the White House or the transportation secretary.”
Right.
White House Joe said he would not use the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947 which, after the nation recovered from World War II, empowered the president to prevent strikes that affected national security.
And Transportation Secretary Pete took time out from debate prep with Tim Walz to urge the parties to settle. ASAP.
Both Joe and Pete are reluctant to alienate union voters, and are careful not to rock the political boat so close to the election.
“Look,” Raimondo mused, “it’s no secret that this could be incredibly disruptive to trade, depending on how long it lasts.”
You think?
She said she hopes the parties reach an agreement, otherwise the impact on the economy could be “very devastating.”
I bet.
I wonder who in the government would be in charge of handling something like this? I don't know...Could it be the Secretary of Commerce?
At this point, I think we’d all be better off with locusts.
Hold the line, America.
Stay strong, Patriots.
