As a metaphor, I saw a news item that made me laugh: the White House is making the iron fence
around it, higher and the top will have sharp pointy tops, like on the end of spears.
That's very funny, I thought, when one stops to think about it - like spears standing up right. Recent history surrounding the White House has interlopers jumping the fence, vaulting over it, dashing past the guards, one even made it into the bowels of the first floor where JFK's body laid in state back in the 60's. He was finally captured by a cook or a houseman or something.
The Secret Service assigned to protect POTUS have been acting a little like the Keystone Kops the last three years, drunk on the job, hookers in Haiti, AWOL at their posts and what 'not. They've even failed to out-run the fence jumpers around the residence. Embarrassing.
To me, the joke of the high(er) pointy fence is the symbolism of a tobacco road fix on security system at this nation's most hallowed residence- pointy, higher spears on the fence. It's a slap-dab quick fix, just like numerous other attempts at FIXES applied to our government that haven't worked. And, I predict the pointy-fence fix isn't going to work, either.
Recent press reports say the VA waiting list problem hasn't been fixed yet and it's been over a year since Princess Screw up hit the bricks and the new guy is at the helm. Oh, by the way. the old gal is suing to get her old job back. I wonder how she's going to explain the 40 guys that died on her watch, or LACK OF WATCH. Meanwhile, Holder is out, Lynch is in. July's out on that one.
Meanwhile, the NSA, it has been found, is now spying on EVERYONE. You, me, the postal carrier, tv weatherman, you name it. Apologies to George Orwell. And that creep that runs the tax agency? He blames the tax cut backs can't hire enough people to answer phones, sorry. You're on your own.
Keep this date in mind will you: January 20, 2017 - His nibs last day in office. Meanwhile, keep your firearms in a safe place, he is not to be trusted. Remember, if HE can ban one, he can ban ALL of them.
