Friends, today we got the disappointing news that President Trump has decided to fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. I figured it was a bad sign when Trump failed to single out Noem for praise at the State of the Union. Sometimes I hate being right all the time... Well, why am I disappointed? Because every retreat that Trump makes confirms in the minds of Democrats and lefties that they are winning. Because Trump is naive if he thinks that changing personnel will mitigate the media's and the Left's utter disdain for his immigration policies. Because Kristi Noem, although she isn't perfect, is basically a victim of her own success. Crime has plummeted. The border is secure. We've deported and otherwise rid ourselves of three million illegal immigrants in one year. By any objective measure, that's a pretty strong record for Donald Trump's DHS commandant. But Noem's success made her a favorite target of lefties, and the fact that she's a physically attractive woman to boot -- well, that made her Public Enemy No. 1. Okay, No. 2. Anyway, does her firing signal a retreat from Trump's deportation strategy? Let's hope not, because that really would be a crying shame.
Dr. Waddy from Jack: According to the newly crowned Texas far left/ Dem Senatorial candidate there are at least 6 human sexes (oh he's a real piece of work; if Texas were to go for him . . . ?!). Well at least some far left Dems are still diagnosable men and no man likes being bested by a knockout good looking woman. And of course the manhaters in that subjugated party are loathsomely jealous of attractive women, for obvious reasons.
ReplyDeleteA commentator on Fox said the Noem and Homan were not on speaking terms. That power dialectic probably had to be resolved. One good thing about the far left/Dems thinking they are winning is that they invariably overreach. Their unctuous embrace of the "Democratic Socialists of America" qualifies as overreach I'd say and it won't fly in flyover country and even that part of urban America which holds "flyover" views which are anathema to the America hating , incipiently totalitarian now almost openly declared radicals.
Dr. Waddy from Jack: If Homan was to be relieved of his duties I would think that to be a very alarming development possibly signaling the distinct possibility of a general retreat. But as long as that President and that " Field General'', both of them seemingly indefatigable , are on the case, I'm sure their efforts so far will not be wasted by lack of followup. Now tactical "retrograde maneuver" might be necessary , especially with a very important election coming up.
ReplyDeleteNonetheless, I think the detestable travails to which DJT was put by the same vicious dissemblers who are increasingly desperate to preserve their illegal immigration coup of 2021-5 ,have fostered in him a grim , unrelenting determination to deny its rewards to a far left he KNOWS would use it to destroy the America he cherishes. I mean, look at the good life its free enterprise system, which his oppressors anathematize, has afforded him, his family , his employees and all those his business endeavors have benefitted. His ordeals at the hands of those enmired in a tragically wrong headed and demonstrated consequently catastrophic and inhuman doctrine have informed his life with piercing clarity.
So, even if we lose the House or even Congress itself in the midterms, I do not see that preventing him from carrying this cause, an affirmation of the rule of law and a decisive and enervating setback for those who would insanely expunge the most materially blessed and , on balance, self remedying just nation ever, to an irreversible end , however much imperfect. ( After all, an insistence on perfection is one of the demonstrated transcendent evils of the Marxist curse , world proven and maliciously carried on even in America,with which we contend and of which this President is fully cognizant).
And I see in Homan an equally strong resolution to correct injustices to America and its vital rule of law his professional experience in Immigration Law enforcement have proven to him to have run wild. Combine this with his very obvious leadership ability and his redeeming and unapologetic toughness ( which offends the touchy feely far left beyond measure) and its clear that we have an indispensable public service exemplar on the job for us, supporting our superlative President.
The emotionally dominated far left /Dems, when they aren't enjoying their present windfall of opportunity to enact aid and comfort to our country's enemies, no matter who, will whistle in the dark with frantic bleating about how they have stopped comprehensively unforgivable "trump " in his tracks. They don't have the sand it takes to put an hombre like him down!
RAY TO DR. WADDY
ReplyDeletePresident Trump picked the right man for the DHS position. I think Mullin will do a fine job.
Yes, Jack -- maybe Noem was a bust (and, no, that's not a crack about her bust). All I care about is that, whoever is in charge at DHS, he/she MUST finish the job and deport every remaining illegal immigrant. No exceptions! I'm heartened by Ray's endorsement of Mullins. Maybe he has the starch that the job requires.
ReplyDeleteIn the short term, ICE and Border Patrol have all the resources they need to keep deporting up a storm. In the long run, a Democratic Congress could handcuff them in some important ways. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.
Dr. Waddy from Jack: I like Mullin too; he may have a future like being a running mate. I hope we don't regret his leaving the Senate.
ReplyDeleteSomething which may bear consideration: in 1941 Japan began its onslaught on the Western Pacific in large part to assure their access to oil.If China sees its oil supply effected by our actions in Venezuela and Iran what might its reaction be ? Just say'in. With its vast reaches and overland access to Russian oil, I don't think China is desperate, as the frantically ambitious Japanese were. But how might China look on any interference with their supply and what maybe unintended consequences might result?
