More Ramblings from A Grumpy Old Man…

Are you sick of the anti-Israeli protesters. I am. But honestly I have never thought much about pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian groups. Those people have been fighting since 1882 when an Arab man was accidentally shot by a Jewish guard during a wedding. Every time you think the dust has settled there, a conflict springs back up. It’s beyond tedious.

But, to paraphrase the late Andy Rooney, I have Jewish friends. Good, upstanding people they are. They don’t seem any different than my non-Jewish friends. They put their pants on one leg at a time, breathe the same air, and bleed red just like me. I do have empathy for them in this most recent battle.

I don’t think I know any Palestinians, though. I’m sure there are many good ones who only want peace.

Congressional Deadbeats presently have an approval rating of 12%, about the same as dirt. Disgraced president Richard Nixon’s approval rating never got that low. Inept president Jimmy Carter’s rating never got that low. George Santos from NY was recently expelled from Congress. His 13% favorability rating was higher than the collective body tossing him out.

Members of Deadbeat Nation are paid $174,000 per year, plus the unconstitutional payout they voted themselves last year of $34,000 for expenses encountered in the Swamp. None of that expense has to be documented – they all just get it. This makes their salary, according to my Chebanse Elementary education, to be $208,000 per Deadbeat. They are paid higher than 93% of Americans.

The Deadbeats were in session “working” a mere 117 days in the last term. Only fifty bills have been passed under their governance, about half what is normal. They spend as much or more time begging for money to stay in their cushy position in the Swamp than working for us.

Respected journalist Mollie Hemingway and The Federalist has reported that Liz Cheney and her Cabal suppressed evidence during the sham January 6th committee proceedings. Turns out Trump requested 10,000 National Guard troops to be present for assistance at the Capitol for the gathering crowd. This information has been hidden from us for over three years. You may want to read that last sentence again.

The Cheney Cabal falsely claimed they had no evidence to support Trump’s claims he offered troop assistance. This information came from the interview of Deputy Chief of Staff Anthony Ornato that Cheney herself participated in January 2022. Oranato’s description of the events match that of testimony by Kash Patel, the former acting secretary of defense.

In the interview, Ornato stated he heard White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows on the phone advising DC Mayor Muriel Bowser for troops to defend the city. He also testified under oath that Trump suggested 10,000 soldiers were needed at the rallies scheduled for January 6. Both Trump backers and left-wing groups were planning protests the same day.
