Tuesday Troubles

Last year after the mechanic told me I was going to have to completely rebuild my home generator I decided to get rid of it. The city finally got around to putting our utilities underground (only 21 years after they started charging us an “underground utilities tax” every month). We thereafter made it through two hurricanes without losing power so I figured it wasn’t worth spending the money to rebuild an unnecessary generator.

Oh, what a mistake I made. I forgot that hurricanes are not the only thing that could turn off my power. Government stupidity is a much more destructive force. After being without power for two hours this afternoon I was finally able to get the “customer service representative” on the phone. She told me (remember, two hours after the power went out) that the city was “looking into the problem.” She got a nice lesson in ghetto language.

I gave her a second lesson 30 minutes later when I called back (I actually called back 15 minutes later but was put on hold for 15 minutes before she picked up) and she still did not have an answer to “What is the $@*%! problem”?

Without power and unable to work, I decided to use the time to have a conversation with God. I was feeling a little guilty for the way I treated the customer service representative and I knew he was a upset with me because during our morning conversation I suggested that if Iran wanted a nuclear bomb so badly we should give them one . . . in the cone of a tomahawk missile.

Yes, I was in need of a confession. He forgave me for both indiscretions. God loves me. Either that or he hates Iranians as much as the Israelis do. (Oops, I might need another confession.)

Anyway, during our conversation God reminded me that there is no way the USA can not get involved in the Iranian problem. Iran has enough enriched uranium to fuel at least nine nuclear bombs. They also reportedly have already built one. The only thing worse than Iran having that much bomb-grade uranium would be for it to get transferred to some of the radical groups they use as their proxies.

There is no way the USA can allow that to happen. If we do not take possession of all of the enriched uranium, it will end up in the hands of radicals. We also cannot allow Iran to retain possession of it because they have demonstrated during the past few days that they have the rocket technology and manufacturing ability (which they apparently received from Russia and/or China) to deliver it with an ICBM directed at the USA.

Every minute we delay in recovering the enriched uranium increases the odds that it has already been transferred to somebody worse than the ayatollah. We need to act now. I estimate the probability of the enriched uranium having already been transferred at better than 30%. That probability will increase to better than 50% if we have not recovered it by Sunday. Then we will not get a chance to see it until it is delivered to Disney World or some other soft target.

BTW, the device we use that might penetrate the underground facility is designed for the B-1 bomber to give us the advantage of stealth, but that delivery system is not necessary. Five years ago (during President Trump‘s first term) we delivered the same bomb in Afghanistan from a C-130 cargo plane. We did not need to use a B-1 then because we had control over Afghanistan’s skies, just like Israel now has control over Iran’s skies.

FYI, the percussion from the bomb killed everyone within a three-mile radius when it was delivered in Afghanistan.

OMT, did you notice that the general who was promoted to lead the Iran army after Israel killed all of their other military leaders lasted only four days before Israel followed through on its E-mail threat to terminate him? I have a feeling the number of applicants for that job is rapidly decreasing.

The newspapers were claiming that the protests were non-violent but when the protesters in Pennsylvania attacked a federal agent’s home and interfered with federal agents who were enforcing federal law, the President called up 13,000 National Guard troops from Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, and even Pennsylvania to stop the protesters from interfering with the enforcement of federal law.

The President actually travelled among the troops in Western Pennsylvania. It was not President Trump in 2025 but President Washington in 1794. The USA was only five years old at the time of what became known as the “Whiskey Rebellion.”

There was so much public support for the protesters that the federal government had to invoke a mandatory draft to fill out the 13,000 troops President Washington demanded. Interestingly, the governors of all of those states acquiesced and actually called up the militia themselves under the newly enacted Militia Act of 1792.

Under that act, President Washington was required to have a member of the United States Supreme Court first certify that local law enforcement was unable to protect the federal agents. He did and Justice James Wilson certified that Western Pennsylvania was in “a state of rebellion.”

That requirement is not necessary now because the Militia Act was replaced with the Insurrection Act and it does not require the President to first seek approval from the Supreme Court. Funny, the Democrats had no problem with removing that requirement until Donald J. Trump became President. Now they seek out activist judges to try to deny President Trump from enforcing that law because they claim they are “protecting democracy.” I haven’t heard a lie that big since Adam Schiffty claimed to be a permanent resident of both Maryland and California at the same time.

They do not see why President Trump felt a need to call up the National Guard to protect the residents and business owners in Los Angeles. According to the Democrats, we need something much worse before involving the National Guard. It needs to be something really bad, like a bus of immigrants arriving in Martha’s Vineyard, courtesy of the State of Florida. Remember how fast they activated the National Guard. Within three days there wasn’t an immigrant left on the island. Well, except for the immigrants they were paying under the table to clean their toilets.

Who do you think acts more like a king, President Trump, who is fulfilling his constitutional duty to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” or China Joe who ignored three federal courts, including the Supreme Court, when they told him he could not forgive student loans and who refused to enforce our immigration laws?

The immigration laws were enacted by a Congress elected in a democratic political system. So, if you were part of the “no kings” protest last weekend, you are saying that to preserve democracy we need to ignore democracy. Yes, I am happy to inform you, that makes you a moron.

I will admit I was more surprised than anybody that Minnesota arrested the suspect who was killing their elected representatives. Of course, they wasted no time blaming it on President Trump. Wait, was it not their own low-IQ governor who just the day before told people that sometimes violence is justified?

There is no such thing as innocent civilians. Minnesota elected the pro-China, assistant-junior-varsity, volunteer football coach as their governor and they have to pay the price.

Speaking of anti-Americans representing Minnesota, Ilhan Omar, a huge fan of Iran and radical Islamic terrorists, claimed that the USA is worse than her “home country of Somalia.” Hey Ilhan, you incestuous buffoon, there is an easy solution to that problem: GO HOME!

Speaking of imbeciles in power, Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass announced that she did not see any violence in the protests as she was witnessing them from her air-conditioned helicopter 5,000 feet above ground. In one section of Los Angeles alone more than 10 small businesses had their windows smashed in and all of their inventory looted from the store. She must have a different definition of “violence” than everybody else in the English-speaking world.

Her comment made me think about a conversation I had several years ago. After a doctor removed part of my body one of my best friends, who happens to be a surgeon, told me that an appendectomy is not major surgery. I explained to him that we have different definitions of “major surgery.” My definition is, “when it happens to me, it is major surgery.” End of discussion.

I am not the only person who adjusts definitions. Do you think the store owner whose business and life savings were destroyed agrees with his dingbat mayor that there was no violence during the protests? I know who doesn’t agree with the mayor, his insurance company. Typical business insurance policies have exclusions of coverage for damages caused by rebellions and insurrections.

I am certain that the companies who have been denying coverage to other LA residents who lost their homes by claiming that the fires were caused by “government negligence,” another exclusion, are going to have no problem calling the riots what they really are, insurrections.
