Kidnapper in Chief
Jake Tapper says he hasn’t heard Republican’s comparing Democrats to suicide bombers and kidnappers. So I’ll do it.
The Park Service has gone on a rampage. It brought in barricades to close open memorials like the WWII memorial in an attempt to shut out visiting vets. It tried to shut down Mount Vernon which is privately funded. Armed park police held visitors inside the hotel at Old Faithful and then forced them to leave on a bus without stopping. Lacking the funds to hang a giant curtain over Mount Rushmore, park police closed highway turnouts to prevent tourists from taking a peek!
One Park Ranger said, “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.”
Well, not difficult for everybody. Vets may be out, but illegal immigrants are in. They held a rally on the National Mall.
D-Day for Government Shutdown
Fortunately, there was no government shutdown on D-Day, 69 years ago (or, in terms of the federal debt, 16.5 trillion dollars ago).
Unfortunately, the government was shut down when the Honor Flight veterans of WWII made a landing at their namesake monument in DC.
Assault on Government Shutdown
Not surprisingly, the vets easily overwhelmed the barricades and 7 rangers (called up from furlough) at the poorly defended monument and claimed it for themselves.
Now back to Normandy, where the beaches are closed.
Update: Veterans are be being chased away from the Vietnam Memorial.
