For fun, I would like to start off the column with a song from way back in in 1920’s It’s called “Yes We Have No Bananas.” The name of the song was inspiration for this piece.
I hope you weren’t wearing slippers or pajamas to the airport during the Thanksgiving travel madness. Why is that? In one of the more inane statements to come out of The Don’s administration, his transportation secretary Sean Duffy said this:
“Let’s try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport” as part of a campaign for more civility in air travel.” He wants travelers to “dress a little better” to encourage better behavior and “bring civility back to travel,” citing a rise in in-flight incidents.
Rumor has it that as part of his campaign toward greater civility there will be signs posted all over airports in this country that say: “If you see something, say something.”
And meanwhile, Mr. Civility himself, was wishing Americans a Happy Thanksgiving in some middle of the night screed on Truth Social.
“A very Happy Thanksgiving salutation to all of our Great American Citizens and Patriots who have been so nice in allowing our country to be divided, disrupted, carved up, murdered, beaten, mugged, and laughed at, along with certain other foolish countries throughout the world, for being ‘Politically Correct,’ and just plain STUPID, when it comes to Immigration.”
Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for—You won’t be here for long!”
Doesn’t the civility just kill you?
I bet The Don was in his pajamas when he wrote that! To his credit he did mention “carved up” in r but methinks he wasn’t referring to turkey. I don’t know about you, but I love the turkey wing. I love holding it in my hands and ripping it apart with my teeth. It’s so primal. So uncivil. I know what you’re thinking: am I the kind of guy who wears pajamas to the airport?
The Say No to Pajamas campaign to make America Civil Again is so absurd that it is hard to believe anyone could say it out loud given the motto of The Don and his cronies which is: Cruelty is Us.
The senseless blowing up of boats in the Caribbean with no evidence that these boats are carrying drugs (which is illegal under international law!).
According to Reuters, there have been at least 470 targets in The Don’s revenge campaign that include high profile public officials, law firms, universities, and prosecutors who were involved in activity related to investigating The Don and more.
Masked agents profiling, terrorizing and rounding up immigrants, some who are actually U.S. citizens. One of the most horrifying incidents was in October when ICE conducted a nightmarish raid on a Chicago apartment building – reportedly pulling young kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, separating them from their parents, zip-tying them, and putting them in trucks on the side of the street. You can bet those kids were wearing their pajamas.
Just recently, six currently serving members of congress (who had served in the military or intelligence branch) were threatened by The Don for creating a video reminding the military that they do not have to follow illegal orders.
Frankly, I wish they had started the video off with an explanation for why they felt the need to make the video. Something like this:
None of us had ever thought we would need to make the video that follows, but we felt compelled because of what we see happening in this administration. Blowing up boats is illegal under international law. Sending in the military to the streets of our country when there is no justification is illegal.
The Don’s response was to accuse the lawmakers of “seditious behavior punishable by death.” He also, for good measure, threw in that they should be “hanged.” Seems like he still has a taste for hanging after it wasn’t satisfied after his Vice President, Mike Pence, escaped the gallows during January 6th. Rumor has it that he went further and said each one of them should be ripped out of their bed and hung in their pajamas.
I’ll conclude with a fun civil disobedience stunt in line with all those who brought ice scrapers (for only 17 cents!) at a Home Depot in Monrovia California only to return them, causing chaos at Home Depot in protest of ICE’s presence.
How about we have “Fly Only in Pajamas Day” where everyone shows up in their favorite pair of pajamas? For those of you who like to sleep naked, well, we will save that for the next protest.
