Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On

Well, J-Nap is at it again. After assuring us all that the southern U.S. Border is not only in good shape, but getting better every day… ha ha hhahahahahahahahah… Hahahahahahaaha! Sorry, I couldn’t help myself there. Anyway, let’s just say that J-Nap’s credibility is not at its highest right now.

But since the border is so peachy these days, it’s time to spend more money we don’t have on another expensive but useless government program! The latest and greatest: the “Great Central U.S. ShakeOut.” Yes, in a brilliant plan to rival that of any mega-disaster movie produced by the SyFy channel, J-Nap wants us all to be prepared for “the Big One“.

Hence, the “Great Central U.S. ShakeOut“, in which states that might be affected by a quake from the fault can practice the ingenious new protective measure of “drop, cover, and hold on” until all the shaking stops. Why hasn’t anyone else thought of that...

Bert the Turtle is looking for some work. Maybe the government can bring him back to teach us to duck and cover. He's also good for nuclear attacks or monkeys with firecrackers.

JNap never says the border is “safer”. She claims there are more resources on the border than ever, and supposedly more coming. I saw the interview on Morning Joe and I know she did some other interviews throughout the same day where she may have said they were “safer”. The borders are not safer and there are NO resources on too much of the border.

Our side crops the facts too is my point when we don’t need to. Even on CSpan, live remarks gets distorted on our side by cropping, so I guess both sides are getting worked over.

Good point, we should always be accurate. I didn’t quote her as saying it’s “safer”, but paraphrased her quote from her O’Reilly interview as “in good shape and getting better” which is a fair take on what she said.

And I agree that the borders are NOT safe and there are far too few resources there—but J-Nap has decided that it’s in better shape now than ever before. Head in the sand.
