Between Tijuana and San Diego, Trump built a double layered border wall that was the crown jewel of his wall.  And as if to poke fun of Trump, drug dealers bypassed his fancy-pants wall with a tunnel.

And it is a dandy tunnel.

The nearby tunnel had an extensive rail-cart system, forced air ventilation, high voltage electrical cables and panels, an elevator at the tunnel entrance, and a complex drainage system.

Hell, that’s no tunnel.  That’s a condo.

Authorities seized two tons of drugs including, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana, and fentanyl.

That’s not a wall, it’s a very expensive decorative item.

War on drugs, my sweet patootie.

You know how Trump keeps saying there are 10,000 ventilators in reserve that he can send to hospitals in need? Yeah, but …

But what federal officials have neglected to mention is that an additional 2,109 lifesaving devices are unavailable after the contract to maintain the government’s stockpile lapsed late last summer, and a contracting dispute meant that a new firm did not begin its work until late January. By then, the coronavirus crisis was already underway.

And that’s the Art of The Deal.

Yeah, they failed to keep a contract to maintain the machines.

Well, that’s just beautiful, isn’t it?

I guess there was no money or kickbacks for Trump’s hoard of cabinet secretaries.

I have a beloved friend who is a retired Presbyterian minister.  He’s as liberal as they come, you know, like Jesus. He’s also non-judgemental, you know, like Jesus.  He’s in his upper 80’s and except for a few incidents daily of “why did I come into this room,” his mind works like it did in college.

Last week, he tried to convince me that maybe, just maybe, Trump is the anti Christ.  Let me say here that I don’t believe in Armageddon. He’s not sure that he does either, but if it is true, it could be Trump. He teased me that I should go get some locust spray.  

And then, the Washington Post prints this today.

Oh yeah, that’s exactly what I wanted to see.

Oh well, at least we don’t have to go out and stock up on hurricane supplies.  We’ve got that covered.

For those keeping track, the hurricane season starts June 1st.

Good ole Devin was back on Fox News last night fighting that damn ole science with Laura Ingraham.

He thinks it’s overkill to close California schools.

Of course he does.

Congressman Devin Nunes (R-CA) stated that it is “overkill” for schools in his home state of Califonia to be closed in light of the coronavirus pandemic on Laura Ingraham‘s Fox News program late Tuesday night – further downplaying the severity of COVID-19.

“The schools were canceled here in California, which is way overkill.”

There’s overkill and there’s way overkill.  Making Nunes read and understand a whole chapter in any high school science book when a whole paragraph is pushing it is overkill. Then making him go on Laura Ingraham’s show to defend it is way overkill.

Our friend Kary sent me this link. Pictures of New York right now on lockdown.

Thank God they are taking it seriously.

1.   When Trump is your President.

2.   When Greg Abbott is your Governor.

If you think that Trump has treated this catastrophe for political gain, then you haven’t met Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

His first plan of action again the virus was to ban abortion in Texas because it unnecessarily uses medical equipment. It took three days and God only knows how much tax money to get a federal judge to overrule that.

Now he has another idea.  Remember how I told you yesterday about the preachers who want to keep churches open for services?

Churches, synagogues and mosques in San Antonio and Bexar County can technically resume in-person religious services under Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s latest emergency order handed down Tuesday.

Actually, it’s all counties, not just Bexar (pronounced Bear for people from foreign states) but this is a San Antonio (pronounced San An-tony-oh no matter what John Wane ever said) newspaper and people in San Antonio don’t give a Big Bexar’s Butt about the rest of the world.

He sits in his office handing down emergencies orders handed to him by the religious right.

As people freekin’ die.
