When an FBI agent goes undercover, say in a department store, does he get to keep both his paychecks?

Power is very habit-forming. It has its own peculiar high, which makes it very difficult to let go.

It is likely the biggest reason for term limits.

There is no doubt in my mind that FDR was controlled by it.

Though it is wrong to seek power for selfish reasons, the more power one has, the more they will want and the less willing they are to relinquish it. Consider the former Senate Minority Leader McConnell. Even with one foot in the grave, he hangs onto his power tenaciously, though it will soon cease to be of any use to him.

Those who yell the most at the exposure of corruption are likely the most involved in it. Beware of those who squeal like swine when they & their comrades are about to be exposed.

Declaring how horrible the US is after making their fortunes while living their living within its borders.

Saying how badly the US treats minorities, after receiving citizenship here.

Saying how we in the US are so biased against Palestinians while they belittle and threaten Jews.

As I have mentioned before, the same year Elvis left this world, I left Memphis. I have never second-guessed my decision once. The one thing I do regret is that I didn’t move farther south. I wasn’t alone. Many others decided to flee the rule of the Democrats and their misguided ideas.

I paid twenty-five thousand dollars for a 3-bedroom house. Good luck finding anything like that today. Lately, similar houses in the area have sold for over one hundred thousand dollars. I have made many suggestions in past posts as to why the rapid value increase. To put it in very simple terms, every time those running the city of Memphis make a dumb decision, it drives my property value up.

Just today, as I was napping, I received a call. A woman wanted to make me an offer on my house. This is commonplace. It seems that at least once a month, I receive something in the mail. I have received multiple offers.

As I have alluded to, dirt is more valuable than gold. The problem with gold is that it has little or no utility value. The advantage of land is that I get to use it while its value goes up.

They like to advertise the value of gold on TV and radio. If it is so valuable, why do they need to advertise so much? If dirt is so cheap, why do so many spend money trying to find it?

A potential buyer approached me with an enticing offer to purchase my home. While the offer seemed appealing, I expressed my concern about where I would live if I were to sell my property. It’s important to carefully consider the implications of such a significant decision.

So, if I sell my house and buy gold with the hundred grand, I suppose I could pitch a tent in the park until the police chase me off. By the way, I’d need to rent a safety deposit box in which to store the gold, which of course, would just sit there serving no purpose whatsoever.

There’s not one “i” in it. Shouldn’t it be pronounced as a long “e”?

COLOR SURPRISED!

Normally, I do not watch any of the late shows. I consider it a waste of time. Given how little my time is worth, that is saying something. The thing is, there was only one political joke, which was good.

Most of the jokes were about the Super Bowl and were truly funny. I guess it shows what the writers can do when their minds are not fogged over with obsessions of communist ways. Normally, I quickly change the channel after the news, fearing that my TV will quickly list to the hard left.

I must give Jimmy Fallon credit. When he truly wants to be funny, he is good at it. On the other hand, when he decides to be communist, he is good at that too.

Memphis TV 5 reported instructions on avoiding arrest by ICE at the top of the 10 o’clock news. While it may not be illegal, it is concerning. At the very least, the station should receive a written warning from the FCC. If the behavior is repeated, they should be fined. If it occurs a third time, their license should be revoked.

It is not just wrong, but it sets a bad example. If a fine is paid, then individuals will realize the laws are real and have real teeth.

There was a time when a license to transmit was treasured and respected. Now, not so much. Making transmissions to help people break the law is not in the public’s interest. It is also, at least, bordering on being illegal.

In reference to the previous post, I just thought of something. It is purely conjecture, but I must admit, it is remotely conceivable.

I wonder if there are any folks out there working two remote federal gigs. Can you imagine someone kicking back at home, raking in two paychecks while they’ve got their feet up on the desk? (With a couple of government-issued $5,000 computers, each hooked up to its own government-provided internet line, no less.)

It’s a valid question to wonder whether we have the necessary systems in place to detect and address such issues. Exploring this further could help identify any gaps or areas for improvement in our system.

It would seem that Trump’s financial watchdogs are causing some discomfort among the rank and file of those drawing government checks while working from home.

Well, perhaps I need to be careful how I use the term “work.” It would seem that maybe there is a significant number that, while supposedly working at home for taxpayers, they are busy working elsewhere, doing who knows what.

Working two jobs at once is not new. I even know people who worked three jobs. Nothing wrong with that. Even admirable. However, working for someone else while on the federal clock is wrong, and hopefully is illegal. In the vernacular, it’s not cool.

And so it is that Elon and his crew appear to be making it uncomfortable for those working nine-to-five for Uncle Sam while also working for someone else during the same time.

After considering it for a while, it does make me wonder. I might have been able to make some money if I served as a security guard and custodian for, let’s say, the same.school. It sounds good, but I don’t think I could get away with it.

Why should we let the federal employees get away with this? I mean, as a custodian and security guard, at least I’d have to be there, though in a dual role. I couldn’t wear two hats simultaneously, but I could juggle them both with the dexterity of a circus performer.
