Twenty Thousand Elephants

You know when a headline or a news broadcast gets your attention it’s usually worth taking notice. This morning I was a story on CNN (not my favorite fake news outlet) that the President of Burundi (an East African nation of 13M citizens) announced that Burundi is sending 20,000 elephants to Germany.

That may not strike you as anything important, but to whom do elephants belong? They are African elephants and it stands to reason they belong in Africa where they can freely roam. You can bet your life that money is being exchanged because transporting those elephants will cost more than a pretty penny.

A big question I have is “WHY”? Is there an overabundance of elephants in Burundi? Are they eating all the bananas and the people of Burundi being among the poorest nations on earth feel they have a never ending supply of elephants?  

This is reminiscent of the time when African tribes began purging neighboring tribes after conquering them and selling people to the slave traders who exported them to the Americas and other continents for profit.

Those who never learn from history are bound to repeat it!

So a little closer to home is this issue of illegal migration, where millions of people are being transported to Mexico for the express purpose of invading the United States of America. I’m sure there is money being exchanged as well, and it’s not into the hands of those being sent here for political purposes.

President Biden said he would shut the border if Congress would sign a bill giving him what he wanted. Now doesn’t that sound like extortion – a repeat of VP Biden strong arming Ukraine? What about the president of Mexico saying these migrants will continue unless the US pays $XM for what?

Maybe it’s time the US extends our southern border to the northern border of Guatemala and then seal the border once and for all? Then we could covertly go after the cartels that control the drugs and human trafficking that is coming across our border.

First people, next elephants and what next? – RTM

Clarification of Real Truckmaster Blogs For those who follow my blog posts on RTM blogs let me clarify and clear up some confusion. I write highlighting the inconsistencies and hypocrisy of the far-left's war on anything Trump. There are too many willing to argue without merit and I would be remiss attempting to argue against their ignorance, they have way too much experience. My writings are my personal opinion intended to be educational in nature, a bit humorous, satirical, while being informative providing food for thought, which is sorely lacking today. For those who find my posts offensive, I am truly sorry, you have the right NOT to read them as have many before you. I will not attempt to change your mind politically, but provide the opportunity to show something you may wish to consider, thereby illuminating prejudice and misinformation! - I am the Real Truckmaster!
