I've been down before
Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane
I've been thinkin' about my home (S. Miller)
first and foremost..if anyone is flying the unfriendly skies this day, well; our thoughts and prayers are with you.
seriously though, just when you thought this administration could not possibly get dumber than they were a day prior...they one-up themselves. A bizarre story broke yesterday about Air Marshals being taken off planes, that's actually what their job description reads ( to ride commercial air traffic as an undercover agent) and they are being sent to the BORDER......no no no, not to perform duties in line with their policing background, but rather to perform menial tasks and assist the illegal immigrants crossing the border. A few Air Marshals spoke with Fox news and said they were ordered to take out trash, help illegals getting checked in at the border and driving injured illegals to medical facilities ......i swear that i wish this was the Onion and I was only joking....but it's true......so now as we approach the busy holiday travel season , securities experts are projecting that less than 10% of all flights will have an Air Marshall on board......makes you wonder if Mayorkas is hoping for a terrorist attack.
i remember a conversation i had with a few close friends in a tavern in the aftermath of 9/11....i was the only one in the group opposed to the Patriot Act....it would have been easy to go with the flow and support the sweeping evaporation of our freedoms in an effort to prevent another attack , but i warned/reminded my cohorts that George Bush would not be President for life and his Administration would be replaced.....and all the powers we handed over to that sitting President would be given to all his successors.....and sadly a short 20+ years later our HOMELAND SECURITY is now the Biggest Threat to , well, homeland security.........sing it Stevie
But my heart keeps calling me backwardsAs I get on the 707Ridin' high I got tears in my eyesYou know you got to go through hellBefore you get to heaven
