Frankly, I was exasperated last week. I heard not one “conservative” talk-show host link the Leftist organized “economy crippling” rallies called for May 1st to the traditional Communist celebration. Now I expected such a link to have long ago been dropped down the memory hole by Leftist media, but not the People's Right media. Et tu Brute? I almost posted a complaint here that the call screeners had to be keeping people like myself from making the connection, but time didn't allow.
But, finally, today, they started letting callers through with the observation.
Now we know what the American hating left wanted: to hurt the country economically. And it may hurt to some who so cowed that they closed up shop.
But quite the opposite happened to one store owner - in the heart of Los Angeles. Mere blocks from MacArthur Park no less -- where eager TV kept trying to tell us there were hundreds of thousands, but the cameras never seemed to show more than a few thousand. In the densest county in the country; with arguably our country's largest illegal population to boot.
I was working late at home when eldest child surprised me with a visit. We were both hungry. I had forgotten about the rallies when I went out to my favorite Mexican restaurant to pick up something to bring back. When I pulled into the parking lot, it hit me. Wow! It was packed with cars, and the drive-up too was jammed. And this wasn't peak dinner hour either: It was more than half past 8.
I was lucky to grab a spot and went inside. Had to wait 15 minutes to give my order. I noticed the salsa was almost all gone. More than half the dispensers were empty of napkins, and I snatched the last few out of another.
I asked the manager how come the big crowd? He guessed many stores had closed up and he got the overflow. Betcha most of 'em were marchers who got hungry. Had to call in extra workers to help. Where did he get them? Well, let me put it this way, all his help speaks Spanish. I don't know if he was paying them overtime, but he'd not lose money if he did.
Oh, marchers and workers seemed quite happy to see each other.
Isn't America great? Let's give her a chance at staying that way. Build the wall NOW Congress; all the rest is a stall orchestrated both by the desperate and unhinged Left and the greedy, slave-wage lovers who control the Right and extort conservatives.
Congress, dammit, Build the Wall! Period.
