The week just passed
I loved that PE Donald Trump called Schumer a clown. Because if ever there was a clown that deserved to be called a clown, it would be Schumer.
I am to understand that the guy who did that attack at Fort Lauderdale airport was somehow involved as a Muslim.
But of course. The people who propagandize ISIS or even our country’s BlackLivesMatter….they know the nut jobs out there will join their cause.
This way they achieve their goal, which is to terrorize us, but they get to hold their hands up, nice and clean.
Did y’all know that Obama gave self a medal?
“Ash Carter yesterday pinned a military medal — the Department of Defense Medal for Distinguished Public Service — on his boss, as Warner Todd Huston reported for Breitbart”.
Heh.
But then pride and dignity aren’t words used often to describe Barack Obama.
Finally, yeah I been watching those hearings on the so-called cyber-attacks on our elections by the Russians.
I figured out the reason for all this brouhaha being made over this Russian thing.
Of course it’s for Hillary.
They like to create their own history, these communist/liberals.
Like John Kerry changed “swiftboating” into a verb meaning to lie about, the Clintons and their buddies will, in the future, refer vaguely to that election that the Russians took away from her.
And it don’t help that John McCain and Lindsay are sticking their ugly mug into all this.
I predict there will be big arguments between Trump and McCain once Trump is President.
On a Personal Note
Allow me to begin this missive with a caveat. Beelow is from Guatamala, he currently rents the house my daughter, Munchausen afflicted, destroyed. He was brought to America when a teenager by his parents. This type of immigration makes him a “Dreamer”.
I do not want to get in any argument with any Freeper about daring to be human to immigrants or other crimes I may have committed. Trust that no one despises illegal immigration more than me, only I blame the idiots creating these “sanctuary cities” against all laws, not the people taking advantage of the offer, and I especially don’t blame the poor kids brought to America by their parents when they were underage. Now they are not legal, some would argue, through no fault of their own.
That being said, I do believe that President Trump is going to take care of these immigrants. I don’t know how but I am confident that this country will get on the right track and no, I do not believe that blanket amnesty should be granted to anyone not here legally. That would include Beelow and he knows how I feel. I suspect Trump will make these dreamers learn English, if they don’t already know, take citizenship tests, get papers of some sort, pay your damn taxes, get legal drivers’ licenses.
Meanwhile, me, as American as they come with ancestors here since the 1600’s, is learning about….well things.
Today I share the story of the Guatamalan and the snow storm.
Part of Beelow’s rent has him taking care of my yard, both in the summer, which is no problem, and in the snow storm.
In the interim I have come to meet Beelow’s family, four boys they look like a set of Russian dolls, tallest to smallest. Beelow takes care of my house that he rents for money but also for his labor. He is quiet, his kids are respectful. The neighbors have all come to grow fond of them. Many of the people in our community employ Beelow to do their landscaping. As for Beelow, he has come to meet many neighbors, knows more of them than me.
Beelow has his own company, such as it is, but he also works daily for a professional landscaper. He works harder than any human being I’ve ever known besides my father, he always looks nice, he’s reasonably versed in English though we have language issues. He invited me to his siblings’ (he really calls them siblings, so cool) homes for both Christmas and New Year’s Eve. I put on my shrewd eyes and wonder about me spending those holidays with a bunch of Guatemalans. Heh. Maybe next year.
He told me of his dream to have his own business and believe me he does a wonderful job, takes pride. I had Beelow doing my landscaping for over two years when he approached me about renting my house, which he had been mowing but when he realized it was empty he wanted to live in it.
It was a godsend for me. My daughter had ripped out all the appliances, she painted huge black images on the walls, she let her dog poop all over the place. Beelow moved in, no questions asked. He has painted the walls in that house, installed appliances. He has decorated the outside of that house with the Christmas lights visible for miles.
Amazing. He’s just been amazing.
Beelow knows that he must clean my sidewalks etc. when it snows.
Yesterday it snowed, about eight inches, in fact.
Beelow shows up with some kind of roller thing I guess that distributes salt. This and a shovel.
Which was fine to do my short sidewalk but Beelow decided he was going to clean my entire driveway. My driveway is pretty big.
Now I DO have an electric shovel, which we got hooked up and hell yeah, he did clear my entire driveway! He also cleaned my porch, my back deck, the front of my garage and of course, the sidewalk.
He then ponders going into business shoveling snow.
I then must sing a song for Beelow…”There is NO snow in Guatamala!” Beelow laughs and tells me that, heh, no, there is NO snow in Guatamala.
Imagine living somewhere where there is no snow. I mean in an entire country with NO snow.
So Beelow and I discuss this wonderful big business he’s going to create (and I really think he will but he WILL be a legal citizen, I promise this) and he considers removing snow.
He likes my snow shovel but he really needs some big thing, Beelow tells me. Beelow has very good tools for his side business, he knows what he needs. He also, I don’t know how he does it, has a labor force that he sends out. Sometimes they show up at my door, with warning from Beelow, and they work all day. I got the best yard in this community and now, heh, I got TWO houses with great yards! And don’t forget those gorgeous Christmas lights!
But Beelow was taken aback by this snow. I must suppose he’s seen snow before but this time he was cleaning it up and surprise, surprise, you only got to mow the lawn once but when the snow is falling you might have to shovel three or four times!
He was also quite cold. Finally I told him to go home and get warm. But hey, my porch, my back deck, my entire driveway and my sidewalk are shoveled AND SALTED!
He told me if there was more accumulation he would come back tomorrow.
Meanwhile, let’s see what the Trump administration does about these illegal immigrants. All of Beelow’s children were born in America.
The people you elected did this. Even, last month, to making, get this, the University of Delaware a sanctuary campus.
I think it will be interesting to watch how Beelow, and his wife who speaks very little English…..get through this.
“””That being said, I do believe that President Trump is going to take care of these immigrants.”””
As long he doesn’t use my money.
His medal of honor pleased and thrilled
his proud little family group.
While pinning it on some blood was spilled
And so FReepers planned and demand, Barry F You!
I do not want to get in any argument with any Freeper about daring to be human to immigrants or other crimes I may have committed. Trust that no one despises illegal immigration more than me, only I blame the idiots creating these “sanctuary cities” against all laws, not the people taking advantage of the offer, and I especially don’t blame the poor kids brought to America by their parents when they were underage. Now they are not legal, some would argue, through no fault of their own.
Pat, as we have discussed before, I have profound differences with you on the treatment of illegal aliens in this country. You are aiding and abetting criminals despite your rationalization as to why it is the right thing to do.
Your beloved Beelow is costing the taxpayer millions over a lifetime. You call him a Dreamer, but have no way of verifying his story. Did he get an Obama Dreamer amnesty? His wife who speaks little English and his four American born children (anchor babies) are now doubt using our welfare system including food stamps and Medicaid. The taxpayer is funding the education costs for his children. Does Beelow have a driver's license and SSN? Does he pay taxes on his earnings? Is he receiving EITC?
When you reward something, you get more of it. At any one time over 4 million intending legal immigrants are waiting overseas for their turn to enter the US. They have completed all the required paperwork, background checks, physicals, etc. How fair is it to them to have Beelow jump the line?
FYI: Obama's 2012 Dreamer amnesty does not require one's parents to have brought you here. You just have to be up to 15 years old when you first got here. Anyone up to age 31 can apply. Over 700,000 have been legalized with an approval rate of 99.9%. Is it any wonders that hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied "children" (most of whom are teenagers), are flooding across our southern border? They continue to come to the present hoping for legalization. And the Obama administration is linking them up to their illegal relatives in the US and then allowing their parents in these countries to join them in the US in the name of family reunification.
Consideration of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
On June 15, 2012, the Secretary of Homeland Security announced that certain people who came to the United States as children and meet several guidelines may request consideration of deferred action for a period of two years, subject to renewal.
