Liberal Genius Denver Democrat Mayor Cuts City Services to Pay for Illegals

by Rodger Friedman | Mar 8, 2024 | Blog

Faced with the obvious issue of paying for an influx of over 40,000 illegals, Democrat Denver Mayor Mike Johnston announced that we must all share in the pain, and he detailed a plan to cut city services to residents in order to pay the exorbitant costs of hosting illegals. He terms it a plan for “shared sacrifice”—a euphemism for “I suck at leading our city.” Parks and Recreation, the Department of Motor Vehicles, community centers, and more will have less staff, fewer operating hours, and reduced days open. And, like a true liberal, the esteemed mayor blamed the sanctuary city’s financial woes on Congress.

What Do You Allow into Your Environment?

My friend Lee Milteer suggests that your diet is not only what you eat—it is what you watch, what you listen to, what you read, and who you allow to influence you. It is everything and everyone you allow into your environment—videos spewing hate-filled speech; nonstop talking heads yelling at you to sell all your stocks, invest in gold, and buy really big guns to prep yourself for the end of America; or just plain old pornography.

What CLAUSE did the Biden Administration Trample This Month?

I had a vision.

I saw Santa in his sleigh with Uncle Sam in the passenger seat—an odd combo for sure. I wish I’d had a camera to take a picture of them on their mission, grim determination etched in their faces.

They were flying high across America’s skies, the sleigh stacked with the seven Articles and twenty-seven Amendments of the Constitution.

The sleigh wasn’t pulled by eight tiny reindeer. Instead, it was pulled by some of America’s founders—John Adams, John Jay, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, James Monroe, and John Marshall. All the founders wanted to pull the mighty sleigh, but there were only eight sturdy harnesses to pull the fragile, historic contents on their trip to the nation’s capital.

On the ground below, hidden deep in a thicket, were anti-aircraft guns manned by Biden’s cabinet members who took aim, intent on bringing down Santa Claus, Uncle Sam, and their precious cargo. Biden had already trampled the Equal Protection Clause earlier in the year. Now he set his sights on ALL the clauses—even Santa himself. Fortunately, Santa and the founders pulling the sleigh had a few tricks up their sleeves. Santa pushed a few buttons on his dashboard and dropped a bevy of anti-personnel mines on the scheming cabinet members.

They exploded a few feet above the thicket in a tremendous fireball and cooked the outlaws posing as law-abiding cabinet members.

Santa and the founders made their way safely to the capital and enshrined the Constitution where it belonged. Afterward, Sam, Santa and all the founders enjoyed some strong ale at a Capitol Hill pub owned by Samuel Adams.

Hey, you can’t make this stuff up…

Don’t Let Facts Get in the Way of Ideology

As Democrats far and wide line up in support of their embattled and feeble leader, an ABC News/Ipsos poll released on February 12, 2024, suggests that 86% of Americans believe Joe Biden is too old to run for a second term as President. Hmm . . . 86% of poll respondents— that’s fact. BUT, they believe Joe Biden is the most progressive and wonderful president ever! He backs our socialist policies and believes that America is endowed with systemic racism that he is working tirelessly to reverse. HOGWASH!

Unrestricted immigration is good for America? As Chuck Schumer, Senate Majority Leader, suggests, who will pick our fruits and vegetables on our farms? Americans will starve without illegals to perform the jobs that Americans don’t want to do. Do you want American children to starve? We NEED the illegals—the more the better! And YES, we can provide them all with full Medicaid benefits and food stamps to ensure they are healthy.

Schumer’s wrong-headed assumptions are despicable political nonsense that makes me squirm in my chair. His leftist narrative would have America tipping a $50 trillion federal debt level. The ultimate consequences of his policies is to ensure a one-party system in America so Democrats will never fear being in the minority. HOGWASH!

An Earlier Vision

At the age of 19, I was sitting in a run-down excuse for off-campus housing at 52 Erie Street, 68 miles from Buffalo, New York, writing in my journal most nights while winter temps hovered at 11 degrees. I had no clue I would come to write seven books, that the daily ritual of putting my thoughts on paper would galvanize me to write 500 to 1,000 words most days. I’m no Hemmingway, and the litany of English teachers in grade school would happily recount my failing grades in grammar, punctuation and sentence structure.

My old report cards had more than their fair share of Cs and Ds highlighted in red ink so my dad would be sure not to miss them. It reminds me of the story that Michael Jordan got cut from his high school basketball team. But heck, I suck at basketball and need an editor to cut away all my attempts at destroying grammar and punctuation. Mine was a humble beginning, experiencing how being poor feels and writing about it—and then making up my mind to actually do something about it.

At the time, I couldn’t see past paying my rent at the beginning of the month.

At the time I’m writing this, my latest book, Erasing America: Broken Politics, Broken Country, is #1 in its category on Amazon. If you haven’t grabbed a copy for yourself, please do so. It is available in paperback and Kindle. By the way, it makes a great birthday present!

And please consider leaving an honest review on Amazon.

Thank you, Rodger Friedman

Florida Did Something VERY Right Here

by Rodger Friedman | Mar 8, 2024 | Blog

The Florida State Board of Education recently permanently banned funding for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs at all 28 Florida state colleges. The use of state or federal funds to administer DEI programs is now prohibited.

The Board defines DEI as “any program, campus activity, or policy that classifies individuals on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, gender identity, or sexual orientation and promotes differential or preferential treatment of individuals on the basis of such classification.”

It’s a start—one state out of 50. Forty-nine to go.

Show Me the Math

Jamaal Bowman, an asshat liberal squad member of Congress, is pushing a bill that would have the federal government recognize harm done to black Americans and provide about $330,000 in payments to some 41 million of them at an approximate cost of $13 trillion. Forget for a moment how this lunatic arrives at the $330,000 figure. This moron has nothing better to do in Congress than push for reparations because he is part of a group that he feels has been harmed by our government. Forget for a moment that this human trash rose to a spot in Congress, something that would be impossible in the presence of systematic and institutional racism. I suppose Janet Yellen could sell cookies on the corner to raise the needed funds. After all, we are already $34 trillion in debt. What’s another $13 trillion?

By the way, Bowman is the same idiot who was censured by Congress for pulling a fire alarm during an important vote.

It Wasn’t Me!

We can’t leave the subject of members of Congress without mentioning a hilarious line from the liberal progressive socialist known as AOC. It seems she went out of her way to respond to media questions regarding the closure of a New York City high school that was vacated to house illegals during a storm.

Students were told to stay at home so the city’s illegal aliens could be transferred out of tents. She was quick to announce that it was “not in my district.” Well then, I guess that makes everything better and that no additional comments such as her point of view are needed.

Although I would be very interested to hear her views if this occured in her district. It’s so sad that she moved on from bartending. I hear Boston has a bartender shortage.

Diminished Capacity and a Corresponding Increase in Absurdity

Readers of The Equal Opportunity Times know I am not a fan of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. To say this aged, misguided excuse for a politician is a perfectly good waste of molecules is an understatement. It’s amazing how the truth eludes this fellow, yet New Yorkers keep sending him to Washington—I guess they’ll do anything to keep him out of New York.

Watching a recent clip of a Senate hearing had me punching the wall as I saw this fool tell everyone in the chamber that “illegals are a huge benefit to America.” Evidently, the Senator believes that if we block illegals from our country, there will be no one to pick fruits and vegetables, and we will all starve.

It’s not foolish of me to hope that Chuck gets a NEW JOB washing dishes in the bar where AOC gets a new bartending position. One can only hope. . . .

Fine! You Don’t Pay Your Debt, We Throw You in Jail

Becky Noble’s article published on RedState media on January 17, 2024, caught my eye. The headline reads, “Childlike Student Loan Borrowers Throw Collective Hissy-Fit, Say They Will Boycott Repayment in ‘Protest’.”

The source of ALL this nonsense lies with President Biden and his continued efforts to buy votes from leftists who don’t want to pay back their student loans. Ms. Noble is correct in calling this a “temper tantrum” by borrowers who refuse to assume responsibility for their actions. I think it is reprehensible, and those who choose to boycott their legal obligations under the law should be locked up until they understand that this is not how things are done around here.

Gen-Z Congressman Says ‘Usher in Millions of Illegals’

Another liberal Democrat in Congress has gone off on how we need to usher in millions of illegals. Maxwell Frost is an activist and representative for Florida’s lunatic 10th Congressional District. This rookie Congressman previously held the position of the national organizing director for March for Our Lives. He is a thoroughly unimpressive lawmaker. His claim to fame is that he may be the first member of Gen-Z to be elected to Congress. I guess that makes him as famous as AOC for being the first bartender elected.

It looks like credentials are a thing of the past. But to be honest, Frost does have experience. He worked for the Hillary Clinton, Barrack Obama, and Bernie Sanders campaigns. Personally, I wouldn’t hire him to wash my car.

What drew my attention to this troglodyte was a stunt he pulled when he called for Republican House members to introduce legislation to remove the Statue of Liberty from New York Harbor—in protest of the inhumane practices at our southern border and to protest the Republican stance on illegal immigration.

I am astounded that American voters actually and deliberately send these idiots to Congress. It will be interesting to follow this fellow to see how utterly ineffective he is in Congress. AND, lest we forget, he is now severely overpaid with a Congressional annual salary of $174,500.

Jamie Gets It Right

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, admitted publicly what many are unwilling to acknowledge—that President Trump was right about immigration, the economy, and NATO. Implicit in this statement is that Joe Biden was wrong about all these things. One can only hope that tens of millions of Americans will actually read Dimon’s statements and agree with him when it comes time to vote for our next President.

Not the Way to Instill Confidence in Flying

It seems that the FAA is hell-bent on pushing diversity, equity, and inclusion in its workforce. Mainstream media continues to report on the agency’s push to hire people with psychiatric and severe intellectual disabilities. Other than all the obvious problems with, what about the extra supervisory staff and realted extra expenses needed to monitor and ensure that these folks are doing their jobs properly and not screwing up the entire operation. Obviously, the head of the agency tops the list for poor judgment. One can only hope that the pilot sitting in the captain’s chair of your next flight is not one of those hires.

See ya next time.

California’s Atlases are shrugging, and leaving

by Rodger Friedman | Mar 8, 2024 | Blog

Is it unfair to say that elected Democrats have been hostile to high earners? Those who occupy the highest tax brackets in California, typically earning $1 million or more per year, have begun a great march out of this state that demonizes and ostracizes them for their abilities, their successes, and their achievements.

We are witnessing many who are fleeing to states with reasonable tax policies or no state tax income tax at all. Texas and Florida come to mind, as well as Tennessee. The march—no, the stampede—out of the state has become deafening in the halls of the California State Legislature. Mainstream media tells us that the top 1% of California’s earners contribute approximately 40% of all state income taxes collected.

So what are the state’s elected officials going to do when they realize that far more than the current 25% drop in personal income tax collection for 2023 is on the horizon? What state programs will be scaled back or eliminated because of a severe decline in tax receipts?

We will no doubt hear a chorus of representatives blaming the greedy rich for inflicting such pain on the less fortunate.

Case in point: I’m told that over a thousand pizza delivery jobs will be eliminated in California before January 1, 2024, since the state’s new fast-food minimum wage law mandates a minimum hourly wage of $20 per hour for workers. I suspect the number is much higher, but for now, those are the headlines I read. No wonder the franchisees who own the restaurants are eliminating the jobs that will kill their profits. It seems that these owners are the only ones who realize that getting in a car and driving a pizza from point A to point B is not worth $20 per hour. The politicians are clueless beyond their mantra that everyone deserves a living wage.

Here’s an idea. Look at the folks working two to three jobs. They embody the spirit of going after the living wage and personal responsibility.

Business owners are not at the mercy of leftist politicians who seek to claw more and more money out of businesses and into state coffers. They simply shrug, change their business models to account for a hostile regulatory environment, or in extreme cases sell their businesses and move across state lines, giving the silent middle finger to the politicians who destroyed their profit incentive.

The politicians refuse to understand that a business owner’s capital is at risk every day their business is operating, and when profits are threatened, those owners will assess whether or not it makes sense to remain in their current business or take action to mitigate the risk. Like John Galt in Ayn Rand’s monumental work Atlas Shrugged, the brains and businesses are being drained from California due to its hostile tax and regulatory policies. Once the state government understands that it has driven away the best and the brightest and has left behind all those of modest achievement, it will wonder what happened. The legislators brought it on themselves. The outcome is not rocket science.

We deeply regret our actions

Have you ever noticed that when a governmental agency or member of Congress gets caught doing something they know they had no authority to do or was plainly illegal, unconstitutional, or immoral, they pull out their old standby defense: We deeply regret our actions. Well, I regret that they don’t face jail time.

Whether it is an agency head speaking for the FDA, the FTC, the SEC, or a member of Congress, playing the regret card is akin to a get-out-of-jail-free card. We often hear that “we take this lapse very seriously, we lacked the internal controls necessary to detect . . .” or “I didn’t realize I had crossed a line that should never be crossed.” The outcomes are always the same; we promise to do better in the future, or we will strive to prevent similar lapses in the future.

HOGWASH! Misconduct is unacceptable or improper behavior, and regretting it means nothing. They regret that they were caught.

If these individuals were regular people, they would be subject to a very public and humiliating trial, asset forfeiture, fines, or jail time (that’s my favorite, by the way). Often they would lose their jobs and any accrued benefits. Police officers would lose their pensions, and those in the military would face loss of benefits and a dishonorable discharge. The “I deeply regret my actions” card doesn’t work for these folks.

Before we put this discussion to bed, I want you to think back to all the corruption we have read about with elections, tampering of evidence, made-up lies, and so on. Would you care to consider how many of these perps are in jail? My guess is that they regretted their actions, were given a slap on the wrist, and went on their merry ways to reap hundreds of thousands in consulting fees in this grand land of different rules for different people.

Expanding medical coverage for illegal aliens

Here is a December 30, 2023, headline from Newsmax:

As California grapples with a looming $68 billion deficit in the upcoming fiscal year, the state is set to usher in the new year by extending free healthcare coverage to undocumented immigrants eligible for its government-operated health insurance initiative.

The article, written by Jim Thomas, goes on to say, “This expansion is expected to provide complete coverage under the program to approximately 700,000 undocumented immigrants between the ages of 26 and 49.” Mr. Thomas indicated that the expected expense of the program would top $2.6 billion annually.

If I lived in California, I would need a sedative after learning this. What I don’t understand is how seemingly intelligent people—you know, the 1% of high-earning Californians who contribute 40% of the state’s personal income tax revenue—stand by and actually bend over to be paddled on the butt like in the frat house scene from a popular movie and say, “Thank you, sir. May I have another?”

Is it wrong for these taxpayers to expect their elected officials to use reason and intelligence in allocating scarce resources for the benefit of the state’s citizens?

Would it be wrong for the state to eject all these illegals and send them back across the border?

Would it be wrong to elect conservatives to high public office who would get the state’s fiscal house in order and attempt to meaningfully lower its $68 billion budget deficit?

Okay. I’m done—for now.

US exporting taxpayer dollars to support transgenderism in South America

Jim Thomas, the Newsmax reporter, must have been on a roll when he wrote this headline:

Biden WH Funds Dance Program to Support Peru’s LGBTQIA+ Youth.

The story, published on December 29, 2023, tells that American taxpayer dollars are being funneled through the State Department to provide grants for ballroom dancing for gender- diverse and transgender Latinos and blacks in Peru. I surmise that blacks and Latinos are NOT minorities in Peru. Yet the Biden Administration is keeping with its stated policy of exporting its transgender policies to the rest of the world. And yes, your federal income taxes will rise to support this and many more initiatives deemed important to the progressive socialists running our country.

Interesting Bits From the News

To provoke thought, discussion, and the occasional rant; to satirize and be entertaining, raw, informative, and provocative; to elicit a giggle. To memorialize much of the insanity we see from our nation’s leaders. To remind those who pay attention that our liberties and way of life are not to be taken for granted.

And the Madness Never Stops a sampling of recent headlines that caused my blood pressure to rise

The media have reported that one of the progressive genius members of the Squad— Massachusetts Congresswoman Pressley, the bald one—is calling for giving sixteen-year- olds and incarcerated felons the right to vote. What parent trusts their sixteen-year-old to make reasonable, well thought out decisions? I have yet to meet one. My guess is that Ms. Pressley will also call for free tampons for all trans college athletes to ensure equality. Nuff said . . .

The big banks got out of the college loan business in 2010, and the federal government took responsibility for those loans. Forget for a moment that the Biden Administration has been cancelling loan indebtedness despite the Supreme Court’s ruling that the Department of Education did not have the authority to cancel student debt. It is remarkable that the administration hails their heroic efforts as unparalleled and yet has no intention of slowing down. In particular, they make mention of the broken student loan system but intentionally leave out the fact that it is their own system that is The way they fix it is to transfer the debt to American taxpayers and give students an undeserved free ride. As Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary said, “It’s downright unamerican!”
It seems that elected officials of the sad state of Kalifornia are at it again. News is trickling in that retailers may face $500 in fines for failure to provide gender-neutral toys for sale during Gay Pride Week. It’s the heavy hand of a socialist government dictating what can and cannot be sold, what MUST be sold, and pretty soon how much it can be sold for. Is it any wonder that droves of Kalifornians are leaving the state for saner regions? By the way, would G.I. Joe in a black evening dress be considered gender- neutral?
Kalifornia is not the only state I have a low opinion of. Illinois is right up there as well with some of the most awful elected officials in the country. Take Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) and his latest bill that’s pushing to allow illegal aliens into the S. military. Durbin is a fool who continually supports both Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and radical left interests. I will give Senator Dick some free advice right here and now—HEY! The first act these folks did upon entering the United States unlawfully was to commit a felony. Do you really want these people in our military? Senator, it’s time to retire and take a seat as a greeter in a Walmart lobby.

The Biden Administration has now directed the S. Border Patrol to use gender-neutral language when encountering and interacting with illegal immigrants. I have a better idea. Here is the exact language I would prefer our brave and wonderful border patrol agents use: DON’T MOVE! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST. MOVE SLOWLY TO THIS BUS, AND BE TRANSPORTED BACK OVER THE BORDER IMMEDIATELY.

On November 20, 2023, Fox News published Teny Sahakian’s article “Trans Swimmer Breaks New Jersey College Record after Switching from Men’s Team to Women’s.” I ask you this: when is this insanity going to stop, and when will America—and the knuckleheads in New Jersey—stop electing to high office people who condone this type of nonsense?
And here’s perhaps a ray of sunshine in the crapstorm of US politics. Representative Brian Babin (R-TX) has been discussing a very intelligent He claims that the concept of birthright citizenship is a misinterpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. It’s no secret that illegal aliens go to great lengths to have their children born within US borders, thus granting them automatic citizenship. I can’t begin to say how wrong this is on so many levels. Congressman Babin clearly does not expect his bill to pass the Senate or be signed into law by President Biden, but it is an important national conversation that is long overdue.

A student in Seattle, Washington, is reported to have failed a test after answering that men cannot get pregnant. What is wrong with this? Well, everything! A tenth-grade history teacher at Chief Sealth International High School gave the kid a failing grade after he turned in an “Understanding Gender vs. Sex” assignment that did not align with the leftist ideology being taught at the school. The student gave a perfectly reasonable answer that only women can become pregnant and only men have penises. Barring any deliberate mutilation by a plastic surgeon, the snipping of body parts, and creating a fake gender, it seems like a correct answer. This kid has his head on straight, and the teacher should be sent to a North Korean reeducation camp and get a dose of reality.
