I believe what I say and believe I am right. Thus, the title of my column, Undeniably Right. Take it as you will, that I'm a conservative or I have a huge ego and believe I am always correct. Sometimes those things overlap, sometimes not.
Mike Rowse
Well, I'm curious enough to listen to this? Are you?
Once again, the politicians at the federal level had a chance to do the right thing; once again they had a chance to show true leadership; once again they had a chance to not be hypocrites; once again, they failed miserably. I don't know why I am surprised. When they are given the opportunity, they never fail to disappoint, yet I still have hope.
Nancy Mace introduced a bill that would have revealed the names of members of Congress who have settled sexual harassment claims against them using taxpayer money. A slush fund was set up almost 30 years ago to pay these claims using taxpayer dollars. Since then, just over $17 million has been paid on their behalf. In 2018 a bill was passed that was supposed to hold the members personally responsible for paying these claims, but it appears that claims are being paid out of the slush fund anyway. Why would they need to keep the fund going if members of Congress had to pay the claims themselves?
I know most of you like to be informed, but what I'm about to tell you won't change the mind of the left-wing meme brigade members. In Minnesota alone, ICE agents have 'recovered' 3364 of the unaccompanied minors that were brought across the border by people claiming to be their guardian or parent. Some were sold into sex trafficking, drug running. Many were found in the Somali community even though they were not Somali. Many were sold to families that treated them as slaves or were forced to work in 'legitimate' businesses in that community. The abuse was shocking. But let's go ahead and defund ICE.
Members of Congress are outraged that Pam Bondi had the DOJ monitor their access to the unredacted copies of the Epstein files. Here's one of the reasons why. Ro Khana and Thomas Massie stood on the floor of the House and began naming names. Clearly stating, not inferring that everyone named was involved in all of the horrible atrocities that occurred. Four of the names they revealed had nothing to do with Epstein. They were people pulled off the street for a police lineup. Congress did exactly what Bondi said was going to happen.
A woman in Poulsbo WA recently dialed 911 in a panic begging for the police to come and help her. She told operators that a large gang had threatened her and had invaded her home. She was in fear for her life but was able to get out of the house and into her car. When asked where she was at the moment, operators were a bit surprised when she said she was sitting in the driveway of her home despite the fact that she was in fear of her life and you would expect her to drive away to someplace safe.
Officers were quickly dispatched to the home and made contact with the woman. She didn't have to explain much because it was obvious that her home was overrun by this gang of masked miscreants. Hundreds of raccoons were in the yard, in the trees, On the House and some had even made it into the house. The woman explained that she had been feeding the raccoons for 35 years but in the last several months rather than the three or four dozen that normally showed up, herds had begun showing up. Lady, it's clear what was going on. It was a family reunion. Probably 8 or 9 generations of raccoons had gathered at the place where they knew they could get plenty of food and water for their celebration.
Officers, as well as many of you, could see that this problem would clearly escalate over time. Start giving free food to any animal, or human for that matter, and more will show up. It's a never-ending cycle.
