I haven’t watched the Kentucky Derby since Mom died. She watched it every year of her life when she possibly could. When she was younger and healthier, she watched every single racing show throughout the year so she would know who every single horse in the Derby was. She was a fanatical fan of all things horse racing. We could be on a trip across the country and she would make certain she could sit down in the hotel room and watch the Kentucky Derby live. I have not watched the Kentucky Derby since she died. I haven’t been able to. It hurt too much. Well, today is Derby Day. Today it doesn’t hurt too much. So today I’m sitting down with one of Mom’s tumblers and I’m going to watch the Kentucky Derby again.

Raconteur Press is coming out with a new Moggie Noir anthology this week, once again focusing on the classy ladies and cats that change all of our worlds. I happen to have written stories about a classy lady who changed the world of Captain William Carter. Joanna promises to brew him the best cup of coffee he’s ever tasted if he just does one simple thing for her. Of course it all turns out to not be as simple as any of them thought. Check out Coffee Adventures for that and many other exciting tales.

Mass Migration

The United States had a saying in the 1800s. Go West Young Man. Many historians consider it part of the movement that said the United States had a Manifest Destiny to spread the ideas of Republicanism and Christianity across the continent. It started with the Louisiana Purchase from France that doubled the size of the country all the way to the Mississippi River and opened up new opportunities of cheap land for brave young men trapped in the crowded, expensive, and already built-up Colonies on the Eastern Seaboard.

The Great American Migration built St. Louis into a prosperous center of the immigration pipeline, and hundreds of thousands of strong young men and women moved west to get their piece of the American Dream. Some land, a cow, and a home of their own, be it ever so humble. Tens of thousands died of disease or fighting Indians in Oklahoma, Minnesota, Texas and many other lands, but when only one in ten of a mass migration die, that leaves the other nine to settle the land. They built America into a continental powerhouse with a steadily expanding industrial base that formed the core of the America we know today. We built this land through the simple expedient of organized mass migration.

100 Days

It’s been 100 days since Trump became president, and oh how different the world looks. And how similar.

Trump closed the border against illegal immigration, proving that we did not need a new law to close the border as the Biden administration told all of us. All we needed was an administration who wanted to close the border and stop illegal immigration. What a shocker.

Trump has begun deportation of illegal aliens, starting with tens of thousands of the worst of the worst. The members of foreign gangs and foreign terrorist organizations. There are tens of millions of them out there, so I consider that a good start.

The Democrats and the main stream media, but I repeat myself, have demanded that the illegal aliens they spent four years shoveling into America be released by the big meany Trump. Democrat judges have arisen to the fight, helping illegal aliens escape through any means necessary. One even housed an illegal alien gang member in his own home to keep him away from ICE. Two judges have been arrested, which I consider a good start.

DOGE found over a hundred billion dollars in fraud or waste, which I consider a good start. The Democrats and the media, but I repeat myself, screamed at the mere idea of cutting that fraud, and some judges have ordered Trump to continue committing the fraud or waste in question.

Trump has started doing his favorite thing. Telling government employees “You’re Fired” by the thousands. There are about three million of them out there, so I think that’s a good start. The Democrats and the media have screamed that not one federal employee should lose their job, and some judges have ordered him to return employees who have promised to fight their boss back to their jobs so they can continue to fight against their boss.

And for his crimes of doing what he promised to do in the election, Democrats have promised to Impeach Trump again the first chance they get. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I do consider the first 100 days a good start, despite the setbacks. I hope to see Trump complete more of his campaign promises as I consider them to be good for America.
