It feels like we have been in an ongoing election cycle. Because it seems ongoing, I am not sure we can call them cycles anymore. Everything becomes a political issue while the event is happening and raw. We used to wait until the rawness of the situation died down, but not anymore.

This is bringing me to a stream of thoughts, as one subject quickly moves into the next subject. Today is one of those days you get to come along on the journey of the stream of consciousness. Welcome aboard.

Who is Tampon Tim? That is the cute name Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’ vice president pick, earned when he signed a bill in Minnesota, House File 44, into law. This bill, sponsored by Rep. Sandra Feist, was called the menstrual equity bill. The bill’s goal is to provide menstrual products at no cost to the students in Minnesota schools. The sticking point with some people is that this bill author intended to place menstrual products, aka tampons, in the boys’ bathroom as well as the girls’ bathroom. No boy needs tampons.

A representative offered an amendment to specifically mention girls in the bill. It would make the bill about girls. However, Rep. Feist rejected the amendment and stated that it’s not only girls who menstruate. Interesting.

Rep. Feist is a member of the DFL party. That’s the Democratic, Farmers, and Labor party. Tell me that doesn’t scream of confusion. Farmers tend to help themselves, but Democrats and Labor parties pretend to help others by taking your money.

Walz is a member of Minnesota’s DFL party. The DFL are radical progressives who advocate fringe ideas.

The DFL and Tim Walz believe in eliminating the Electoral College. I want to point out that the minute that happens, you will only see the politicians campaign in New York, California and probably a little in Texas and Florida. The deplorables in fly-over country will be completely ignored and forgotten. I am amazed how people are all for giving control of the whole country to those who live in a few highly populated areas. They want to provide power to people who do not understand the issues that folks in rural America face.

They are people who do not understand living in smaller towns or rural settings. They are people who do not know that watching out for yourself and your neighbor is important. The term Redneck Rescue is making its way around. Today, many around the country believe that if there is a big disaster, they must wait for the federal government to act. That is done under the banner of FEMA.

However, those in the South knew they needed to help each other. FEMA has been using a lot of the American taxpayers’ money on illegal immigrants. Now, they claim they are almost out of money. When people ask about the money supplied to illegal immigrants, they try to argue that it comes from a different pot of money. Dan Bongino pointed out that it isn’t a different pot of money. It is our money they are taking and spending. It is our money they have spent, and now that Americans need help, they’re out. Oopsie!

Speaking of FEMA, I have seen a bunch of mouth-breathers who are posting a list of Republicans who voted against FEMA funding. It is done to highlight that those who are hurting and who have lost loved ones have themselves to blame. Yeah, that kind of political spin is not needed right now and is entirely intellectually devoid of value.

Dishonest Democrats tout the talking point that 100 Republicans voted against funding for FEMA. The implied argument is that the citizens devastated by the hurricane get what they voted for. But what those mouth-breathers do not mention is that the vote wasn’t for FEMA funding. It was a continuing resolution to fund the government for several months. They also don’t say that a week earlier, the Republicans voted for a bill that would have funded the federal government and provided safe and fair elections. However, the Democrats do not want safe and fair elections for some reason. Hmmm.

This stream of consciousness shows that the Democrats are spiteful, don’t believe in science, and want to control vast quantities of people through population centers. Vote accordingly this November!
