Why do terrorists always look like my Uber driver?

It's because the Obama/Clinton administration is more concerned with political correctness than stopping terrorism. The response to this latest attack tells the tale once again. Their response to terror....to pretend it is something else and attack Trump because he called a bomb a bomb.

Today the news dropped that hundreds of immigrants from terror countries were given citzenship under false names and identities. Just like this knucklehead from Afghanistan. How many more of them are there out there in malls and chicken shops across the country?

Trump was on fire today. He said the following:
“In the past 48 hours, our law enforcement showed again that, without them, our country is neither safe nor secure. I am grateful for the quick action of law enforcement in capturing the terrorist responsible for Saturday’s bombings, and the off-duty police officer for stopping the terrorist in Minnesota. This weekend’s attacks, from Minnesota to Manhattan, are just the latest to be carried out on U.S. soil under President Obama. These should be a wake-up call for every American.

Marilyn's Diary


It was hard to make ends meet when you are a Munster. Well it was easy for Uncle Herman to get hard when he met my end but that is not what I am talking about. You see we had to find ways to make money.

Uncle Herman couldn't hold down a job. He tried a lot of things. Baseball player. Musician. Undertaker. But nobody really wanted to hire a seven foot tall green man with bolt in his neck. Unless you need a Secretary of State. So his employment options were limited.

Aunt Lily couldn't really work because she was a succubus and really couldn't go out in the light. It was her vampire blood on Grandpa's side of the family. Of course Grandpa sucked so he couldn't get a job. In fact sucking was his job. But sucking on Mexican busboys did not pay the bills.

I got a part time job as an underwear model but that didn't go far in paying the bills.  So Uncle Herman had to find a way to make some money.

He met this German guy who had an idea. No it didn't have anything to do with the Jews. No this guy was so cheap he could have been Jewish. He wanted to set up a car service to drive people around who didn't have a car. They could share rides and cut down the cost. It was all done on the telephone. Aunt Lily would take the call and send out a bill every month. If they didn't pay then Uncle Herman would collect and of course they would pay up. Uncle Herman also was pressed into service as the driver every so often. But mostly he did collection. It was a sweet little deal but it all fell about when Uncle  Herman moved  away. I often wondered what happened to Mr. Uber and his ideas.

I guess I will  never know.

"Michigan Grandfather With Cancer..."

"Takes Up Uber Driving to Pay Off Home for Family"


ABC Breaking US News | US News Videos

"Once I pass away, chances are my daughter, who’s a part-time waitress at a small restaurant in Livonia, will lose the house we live in because she won't be able to afford it anymore," Broskey said. "So I'm doing everything for her and my grandkids at this point. When you find out you're dying, you realize your family and friends are so important."

"Too drunk to drive? Uber will give you a free ride"

"A new breathalyzer kiosk from Uber aims to keep drunks off the road."
Called "Uber Safe," it's a small kiosk that allows potential riders to blow into a breathalyzer in order to determine whether they are over the legal limit. If they are, they are given the option to hail an Uber driver who will take them home free of charge.

The prototype for Uber Safe is currently being tested in Toronto, and, though Uber does intend to eventually install the system in more locations, there's no word yet on whether the rides will continue to be gratis.
Nothing like market competition to help solve so called intractable societal problems.

"You are not important enough for me"


 
From the video description....
In an unmarked car, the policeman was allegedly attempting to park without using his blinker at a green light. (His reverse lights weren't on. Likely double parked without hazards on.) The Uber driver pulled around and gestured that he should use his blinker, casually and non-offensively, and kept driving us. The policeman quickly pulls up behind us and this is what happens.
