Reflections From a Murky Pond

Yeah, the government corruption we’ve seen is just the tip of the iceberg. The graft, corruption, and covered up rank criminality of many politicians and permanent members of the bureaucracy – i.e., the Deep State – at all levels of government runs far deeper than we’re aware of or allowed to be aware of. Insider trading, rampant tax fraud, and profiting off of awarded government contracts is just part of their endemic criminality, and we don’t and likely won’t hear about the rest of it.

And how could we see any of the rest of the government corruption afflicting our nation? The Lamestream Media – and the majority of major social media platforms – are effectively wholly owned by the Democrats, so they’re not going to put much, if any, effort into exposing that party’s malfeasance. And, either the Republicans are not nearly as corrupt or are far better at hiding their crimes. Hence, they’re not getting exposed even the “journalists” have been told by the Dems to do so.

But, to state what is worse and to partially excuse the Lamestream Media’s refusal to expose more of the graft and corruption of our politicians, there’d be little point in their doing so. Unless the politician or bureaucrat had went “Full Kwame,” they face little to no legal repercussions – a $200 fine, if it’s even levied, on millions of dollars of illegal investment 🙄 – and less electoral penalties since we as a People don’t seem to care. We reelect them if they, in general, purport to further our interests.

So, since outing these corrupt pols does nothing or next to nothing and doesn’t generate a significant news cycle and the resultant increased income for the media outlets, the isn’t really a point to their reporting to us about them.

So yeah, the government corruption we’ve seen is just the tip of the iceberg, and that’s likely all we’re going to see.

The amount and nature of Biden’s border commitment can be summed up by Creepy Uncle Joe’s chosen Border Czar, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner, Chris Magnus was very recently forced to resign his position by by US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas. He was given the choice of resigning – which he did after a short bout of defiance – or being terminated for cause.

So, why would the Cuban-American head of DHS, who has always shown a strong bias against White Americans, fire an openly queer official appointed by Biden to manage the influx of illegals across our southern border and into our cities and towns? Simply put, it’s because Magnus was too laser focused – and too openly so – on diversity for its own sake and most of the agenda of the #DefundThePolice insurrectionists and not at all focused on Border Security or any other real part of his job.

As migrant encounters along the southern border continue to set records, frustration is mounting inside the Biden administration with the head of Customs and Border Protection.

Five current administration officials who work with CBP Commissioner Chris Magnus portrayed him as unengaged in his job, saying he often doesn’t attend White House meetings on the situation on the border, badmouths other agencies to colleagues and superiors, and has not built relationships within CBP and across other agencies to address the influx of migrants at the border. They complain he is unfamiliar with some of the operations of CBP and instead is focused primarily on reforming the culture of the Border Patrol, addressing its long list of allegations of racism and violence.

Some of the officials believe Magnus hasn’t prioritized addressing the high number of migrants attempting to cross the border, but instead has continually tried to shift blame to other agencies. As an example, two of the five current administration officials said Magnus brought his boss, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, pages of grievances about Immigration and Customs Enforcement. While CBP is responsible for securing U.S. borders at and between ports of entry, ICE is the agency responsible for arresting and detaining undocumented people within U.S. borders.

“Biden’s top border chief comes under internal fire“

This is a simple case of incompetence being finally dealt with. While it’s patently obvious that Magnus was appointed by Biden to do what he’s been doing to make our southern more porous and meaningless – and, of course, being openly queer secured the appointment – Magnus has utterly failed to do so quietly, without drawing attention to his mandate from the White House.

Oh Snap! Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter seems to be going a lot like this. A whole lot of Americans domestic enemies seem to be being shattered and blown away by the eradication of their policy-enforced “safe space” where only their voices were allowed. 😉

Erector Sets were until the 1980s a favorite toy among boys – and, I both suppose and hope some girls. I’ll admit though that they were always probably a bit less popular to parents due to the odd metallic smell they always developed and all the fiddly little nuts and bolts that erector sets seemed to shed all over everywhere.

I Did Not Put Childish Things Behind Me; I Merely Added Adult Things

But, even as we aged-out of one variety of erector set, we grew into the appreciation for another sort of, age-appropriate erector sets. 😆 Not, mind you, that we all gave up on the original sort. Some of us chose to add to instead of replace one for the other.

If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, than here’s a beautiful Autumn upon us.
