Well as you likely know by now, we no longer have a Director of the Secret Service Hopefully, the replacement will actually understand the concept of responsibility. I would think it would be one of her qualifications. You notice I used the pronoun her. Why would I expect the appointment of a man?
The thing is, Old Joe’s idea of qualifications and mine are miles apart. I mean, being able to do the job should be right up there at the top. However, with Joe, his idea of top three qualifications are simple: Black, female and democrat.
You might have noticed that I chose to use the word female instead of woman. The dems have this really big problem these days determining just what a woman is. For that matter, they are having a really tough time determining what the word “qualified” means. Perhaps they should have a look in the dictionary before making the replacement. Just maybe they should look at the words of Martin Luther King. I mean, did he not suggest that we ought not consider race when hiring someone.
Then again, when he gave his speech, womanhood was still not a major qualification for a job. Incidentally, since then, many other qualifications have made their way known, not the least of which, homosexuality. I mean, otherwise, the mayor of a small city who knew nothing of transportation would have never been selected to be Secretary of Transportation. (Qualified or not, you notice all the problems we have been having in transportation) Maybe Old Joe should have thought again. Perhaps he should have selected a woman for transportation. Maybe she could have dealt better with the congestion in Los Angeles Harbor. Maybe she could have done better handling the crash of that train. Maybe, just maybe, we would not be having so many problems with our planes. (you notice any wheels falling off lately?)
Maybe Old Joe should select the former mayor of Chicago Lori Lightfoot. She’s a woman, (I think) , democrat, and Black. She’s also got the new qualification being as she has a wife, not a husband. In addition, she has experience. Ask the folks of Chicago. She quite skillfully destroyed that city.
I do find a little irony in it all, though. I guess, because Kamala is female, she can chose men. As near as I can tell, she hasn’t seriously looked at any women as running mate. I guess that is how it works, right? Men must select females. Only females can select men. Incidentally, I have noticed that some of those men she was looking at are White. I’m not sure, but I think I am finally figuring it all out.
Still, if I am going to chose someone for a position, my primary concerns would be, is he honest and can he or she do the job. It does make the selection process a little more difficult, but I think I like the results better.
By the way, during the interview, my first question would be, “What is your definition of responsible?” That in itself might tell me a lot. It seems that our schools don’t like to teach the word or meaning to our kids anymore. AND, that is something of an indictment against our education system, the one that mostly the dems run.
