Let Them Burn!

Time To Pull The Plug On Democrat Controlled Cities And Let ICE Melt Away

As Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents are enforcing United States law in lawless cities, and putting their lives and their families in danger, I believe it is time to pull the plug.

People vote for the government they wish to have, and it is obvious cities like New York City, Los Angeles, Charlotte, Memphis, and the District of Columbia, among others, have voted for the crime, illegal aliens, and poverty, they are going through.

I understand what President Trump is trying to do, he is fulfilling the mandate he got from over 80 million voters. Rid the country of criminal illegal aliens, secure the border, and make the country safe.

Most of the ICE operations have been going on in Democrat controlled cities because those are the cities who are protecting the illegal aliens, and the cities where crime is out of control.

But why bother? These people voted for those things, otherwise they would have voted for the other candidate.

This is a big undertaking, costing millions of federal tax dollars, resources, and we are not even touching the tip of the spear. The Biden administration flooded this country with so many illegal aliens, there’s not enough manpower to find them all and get them out of here.

Americans in these cities are protesting the fact the government is enforcing the law and making their cities safer in the process. Only stupid people would think that way, but that’s who they are.

I say, pull every ICE agent and operation from these cities and let them burn to the ground. It is obvious that’s what these people want, so give it to them. I could not care one bit about what happens in those cities, I do not live there or voted for that kind of government.

If they want to provide cover for criminal illegal aliens, rapists, drug dealers, and murderers, let them. After all, again, they voted for it.

Let these cities go to hell and let’s see how the citizens react. Enough is enough, if these communists want to experience the Cuban and Venezuelan misery, it is time to let them go.

But, since they won’t allow the government to enforce federal law in their jurisdictions, cut all federal funding to those municipalities and let the state government deal with it.

President Trump needs to call it off and let all these Democrat run cities burn to the ground.

It is time to let “ICE” melt away.

The Hypocrisy Of The PGA Tour

Casting Stones With A Glass House

In 2020, the PGA Tour decided to honor convicted felon and career criminal, George Floyd with a moment of silence at the Charles Schwab Challenge.

Sure, the loss of a life is never to be celebrated, but to honor George Floyd as some type of hero, was a despicable moment in PGA Tour history.

If they wanted to fight against whatever social discrepancies they deemed important, they could have chosen a better vessel.

By doing so, they did not only honor a career criminal, but it slapped the face of the same law enforcement officers who provided security to the pampered tour professionals week in and week out.

Fast forward to 2025 and the LIV Golf League. Since its creation, the PGA Tour and their water carriers at the Golf Channel have tried to take the moral high ground. People like Brandel Chamblee and DEI hired, Eamon Lynch, have gone on and on about Saudi Arabia and the Public Investment Fund.

Golf commentators like Taylor Zarzour, John Maginnes, Carl and Dennis Paulson, Colt Knost, and many others, have been suffering from what I call the LIV Golf Derangement Syndrome.

I understand they are stooges for the PGA Tour, but come on, they are also claiming to be objective golf analysts. They lack integrity and the confidence of serious golf fans.

They can’t accept the fact that LIV Golf is a popular product and want to use their shows to downplay the significance of the league. Because of LIV Golf the PGA Tour was forced to raise their purses and rethink a brand that has been stale for quite some time.

LIV Golf has elevated the Asian Tour and has helped the DP World Tour. LIV Golf players have been playing more in Asia and Europe, adding more interest to the tours.

Let’s be honest, nobody wants to watch Peter Malnati if they can watch Bryson DeChambeau. Everyone knows the main reason professional golfers want to play on the PGA Tour is for the money and the lopsided official world golf ranking points allotment.

The PGA Tour has refused to deal with LIV Golf while at the same time using their bully tactics and media influence to persuade the fans to believe LIV Golf is evil.

To me, the PGA Tour is a dirty organization and not a representative of American values, and definitely not my values.

And here we are, once again the PGA Tour wants to claim moral high ground when it comes to LIV Golf and its funding source, while attempting to squeeze LIV Golf out of existence.

All you have to do is look at the list of PGA Tour sponsors to know that morality is not part of their business model. It is all about money and power.

I do not watch the PGA Tour, or care to watch. The product is old, boring, and the broadcasts are like watching paint dry. I will continue to watch LIV Golf and the Asian Tour because the golf is more exciting.

After honoring a career criminal like George Floyd, without having all the facts, the PGA Tour has no room to criticize anyone or any entity. They should forever be ashamed of themselves.

Let’s not forget, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus fled the PGA of America and created the PGA Tour.

This glass house is broken!

Time To “Snap” The SNAP Program

Is Not The Job Of The Federal Government To Feed The People

So, what is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, better known as SNAP? According to the USDA, “SNAP provides food benefits to low-income families to supplement their grocery budget so they can afford the nutritious food essential to health and well-being.”

For fiscal year 2024, the total SNAP participants were 41.7 million. This is approximately 12.3% of the American population.

SNAP Federal spending for FY 2024 was $99.8 billion dollars, with an average monthly benefit of $187.20 per participant.

The racial breakdown of welfare recipients in the United States is as follow: White: 35-37%, Black/African American: 26-27%, Hispanic: 16%, Asian: 3-4%, Native American: 2%, Unknown: 16-17%.

Approximately 39% of SNAP participants are children. Additionally, elderly participants make up 19-20%, and participants with disabilities 10%.

73% of SNAP household participants are living below the poverty line.

The above statistics were furnished by The Global Statistics site at www.theglobalstatistics.com

The fact that almost 42 million people, out of a population of 331,449,281 million, according to the 2020 U.S. Census, is egregious. The fact we do not know how many ineligible people are on the program makes this number more questionable than definite.

We know that under the Biden administration, millions of illegal aliens were allowed inside our country and immediately placed in the welfare rolls. According to the USDA, only “citizens” are allowed to participate in this program by applying thru their respective states of residency.

We are also aware; the Biden administration dropped these millions of illegal aliens all over the country overwhelming these lifelines designated for American citizens.

But why is the Federal government in the business of feeding people? Nowhere in the United States Constitution, is the Federal government given this power nor responsibility.

A little background on the origin and purpose of the SNAP program. The program was originally known as the Food Stamp Program and was established during the Great Depression. In 1939 it was introduced as a pilot program to deal with the hunger and unemployment crisis created by the Great Depression.

It was supposed to support low-income households by assisting them with the purchase of food items.

The program was meant to be a temporary measure to address a national crisis, but Between 1961 and 1964 the program was renewed and expanded. In 1964 the Food Stamp Act was enacted making it a permanent federal program.

Welfare became a way of life for many people in the United States, thanks to President Johnson, a Democrat.

Generational welfare is real. Many of these people have been on some kind of welfare for decades, some for the whole of their lives.

SNAP benefits fraud is rampant with New York State leading the charge with over 151,000 claims between 2023 and March 2025. This accounts for more than $80 million taxpayer’s dollars lost by fraudulent SNAP recipients, as reported by Newsweek.

California and Maryland come second and third respectively with losses of over $38 million, and $24 million.

So, I will ask you again, why is the Federal government in the business of feeding people? Why has the Congress not enacted a law in which to pass this responsibility to the states? It seems to me this is a 10th Amendment issue.

I cannot find the answer. Online responses are the same: It is the Federal government’s responsibility to fund this entitlement program, period. The same Congress who refuses to reform the program is the same who fund this monstrosity through appropriations.

The program needs to be reviewed. Ineligible recipients need to be removed; body able people need to go to work, applicants need to be properly vetted, and only those in real need, who can prove the hardship, need to be assisted.

It is time to “Snap” the federally funded SNAP Program and give it to the states. Generational welfare is a national cancer, and the welfare programs are nothing but contributing to this disease.
