A HUMOR SITE

READ THE BEE

All politics is local according to former Speaker Tip O’Neill, and in MoCo more so. We lost Senator Lindsey Graham over the weekend, and it’s a great loss.

Not only was he a local fixture for years in the greater DC area (you can have dinner and attend events in Georgetown, Bethesda, or Rosslyn just as easy) our local residents are spotlighted nationally all the time.

Remember the Senator’s outrage at the slurs and unfounded accusations against MoCo resident Justice Brett Kavanaugh when the Democrats (led by then Senator Kamala Harris) said that she believed the woman who accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct? Remember how effective Kavanaugh has been in giving women and girls opportunities in the community and in the Courts? Remember when he was targeted for assassination?

I do, and I remember the Senator’s forceful rebuttal to that Party – the same party that last week praised Graham Platner until it became clear he’d lose to a sitting woman Senator – then threw him under the bus. All the allegations had been forgiven, even charges of assault by a Republican woman – until a Democrat woman came forward and gave them the reason to ask him to quit so they could replace him at the last minute. Even Senators Sanders and Warren, big defenders, came on board at the end, but I digress.

The Chevy Chase Kavanaugh family will miss Lindsey Graham, the National, South Carolina, and Montgomery County Republican families will miss Senator Graham, and the far left National Socialist Democrats will both trash him and say good riddance. The far left press and the cesspool of social media have already started.

Let’s choose the right side. Let’s honor his legacy, give condolences to his family, and not put up with the horrible language of the far left critics. I thank our moderate Democrat neighbors for their condolences. Stop the partisan hatred. Time is short. Let’s put our country and our world back together again.

Three spirits review American candidates. *

By Lori Jaffe

Every two years, the spirits of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin and Joseph “Uncle Joe” Stalin come together to review American candidates. This year was no exception. What follows is a newly declassified transcript of their communications related to the elections in America and Montgomery County in particular.

Karl: "Comrades, I hope you have been gratified by the historic changes we have seen lately."

Uncle Joe: "Yes, it has been very gratifying, especially with the election of Mamdani in a strategic city like New York."

Vladimir: "Yes, it won’t be long before it is totally unrecognizable!"

Thanks to those who sent in feedback! Here is some of the feedback that we received.

Dear Mr. Melby:  thank you for another great article!  Thank you for articulating on what we are seeing and thinking.  The Democrats have a way of twisting the truth and even Pope Leo is guilty.  Keep up the good work and speaking/writing the truth.  God Bless America,

Thanks to those who sent in their immigration stories. Here are some of them.

Dear Dennis: You are absolutely right.  I immigrated in 1976 when the focus of the immigration system in the US was to allow people in based on how they would help our country.  I never took a penny in government support but paid an enormous amount of taxes over the years.  I am Catholic from birth and am ashamed at our Pope for spouting left wing propaganda.  Of course many Marylanders do the same without thinking.  

Do I fear ICE?   How absurd!  They are doing a great job despite the attacks from the radical left and the useful idiots who are used as "cannon fodder" so to speak.  cheers,

Dear Ann Landers:
I am an inner city English teacher, and my students are reading George Orwell's "1984." I am having a difficult time explaining communism, socialism and fascism to my students without giving a full-blown, time-consuming history lesson. I recall you printed a humorous column some time ago explaining these concepts using cows as examples. Will you please print it again for my students? I'm sure it will kick-start a lively class discussion. I'd appreciate your help. -- A Teacher in Mississippi

Dear Mississippi Teacher:
Thank you for asking. It's an "oldie," but a "goldie." Here it is:
