Hi kiddo's! Welcome to Johnny's fun-house! Seems there's a little unbridled aggression running rampant in the country today. But first, a gentle reminder about something...I don't represent either side in this fight. I don't even fully know what people are fighting to be honest with you. I do, however believe it's probably the same old crap! And one more reminder...If you are easily offended, or sensitive to words, please read on, because I DON"T CARE!

Here's something I do care about. Why in the hell are the politicians still getting paid if the government is shut down? If you ask me, It should have been shut down long ago. Since when did serving in the Congress become a full time job for life? It was designed for people to serve a term or two for their COUNTRY'S benefit. Not to line their pockets and have a pension for life. And for members of Congress to go on vacation while government employees aren't getting paid? Look up the definition of bullshit in the dictionary, and that's it! And if the government is shut down, why are some people still working and getting paid and others aren't? Doesn't SHUT DOWN mean SHUT DOWN anymore? And I would like to interject that currently, around 100 Senators and Congressmen/women have asked not to be paid their salary or are donating their salary to charities. Let's find out who that 100 is and keep them. The rest of them, let's send to Iraq.

Now don't get me wrong. There are plenty of government agencies that I wouldn't mind seeing shut down, (IRS comes to mind), but to call it a shutdown and then nothing really happen except a bunch of people not getting paychecks is ridiculous. Call it a break. Call it a time out. Call it what it is, a load of crap. I don't really even know what all the reasons are for the "shut down", but I do know the big one is the border wall. Let me tell you something folks, I live in Texas, and we need the wall. Almost daily I hear from friends on the border or I read an article about illegal immigrants crossing and destroying everything in their path. It wasn't always this way. Used to be, a group would stop by and rake leaves or hoe our garden in exchange for a good meal, water and good luck wishes. Times have changed and we must change with them.

Let me remind you that this isn't like Germany, just deciding to build a wall through the middle of their country. Or Korea, who because of the Russians and the Americans decided that the 38th parallel would now divide the country and make it 2. We are a sovereign nation trying to protect out citizens. At least we should be. I'm begging the assholes in Congress to stop bickering like 5 year old kids. Pull up your panties, roll up your sleeves and get to work. You're still getting paid to work, now do it dammit! The only people you're hurting are the people. The federal government budget for fiscal year 2018 was $4.1 TRILLION. 4.1 trillion, which equals a DEFICIT of $793 BILLION. And you're bitching about $5 billion? Let's put this into perspective. If you had $825 in your pocket, and somebody said they could provide border security and protection if you gave them $1, would you? And let's keep in mind that 54,000 border patrol agents aren't getting paid.

Okay, I'll stop ranting. On the bright side, I still have plenty of roofers!

Do me a favor. Stop watching the news. There are no news agencies that are unbiased in my opinion. And stop believing all the crap on the internet! Contrary to popular belief, everything on the internet is not in fact, FACT! (if it was, I'd be rich, know how to flip houses, have NASA grade pots and pans, have a full head of hair, know the one stock I can buy for $7 that will make me a millionaire, and be sponsoring 19 kids in Kenya and 37 dogs) Get a grip people! There are 2 sides of every coin and 2 sides of every argument.
