No, let’s just make this thorough. Any federal property is closed... all of it. Roads, interstate and defense highway system, bridges, dams, navigation systems, rivers, harbors, sea shore.... all of it. All of it including the white hut, libraries, congress, supreme corpse... all of it.
I wish some sheriff would go to a park and arrest the rangers if they don’t leave.
I was thinking earlier about what would it do to this country if all federal highways were to be shut down. And I’m wondering why they aren’t.
Ah, but the executive branch gets to decide which “services” are “essential”.
For instance, PBS and Planned Parenthood are “essential” but border patrol in hot pursuit of invading drug cartels, terrorists, etc are told to “stand down” because reinforcements are being sent but reinforcements aren’t sent; the money for reinforcements is instead being used for bonuses to the high-ups who give the stand-down orders...
And the critical element, on which Obama is placing all his hopes and audacity of criminality, is the media. If he had any fear of the media reporting this stuff, he’d never do it. The free press has always been the essential ingredient for the republic to continue. The Founders knew it. But we’ve got a press that voluntarily handcuffs itself and serves up bondage tricks for the “lovers” it idolizes. As long as that is the case, we don’t have a republic. We have, instead, the predictable-as-gravity corruption that always results from absolute power.
Who do I blame this mess on? The press. And it’s about time THEY heard from us just as much as the Congress-critters hear from us.
