Walls

Chico Marx as Chicolini in disguise with Harpo from “Duck Soup”.

“Well, who ya gonna believe, me or your own eyes?”, Chico Marx as the character of Chicolini in 1933’s “Duck Soup”.  Don’t worry, it’s relevant.

It should never amaze anyone when a politician says something out of sheer spite or plain stupidity, like the folderol on the border wall (fence, barrier, whatever).  The donkey party doesn’t want a wall so a fraction of the federal government is shut down.  The party mouthpieces say walls don’t work – the perps will just add a few more rungs to the ladder, they squawk – while claiming sole proprietorship of the entire “expert” demographic.  But “experts” can be purchased like a pair of shoes.  Look into any courtroom. Remember, “experts” helped get OJ off.

Well, don’t limit yourself to courtrooms.  Cruise the environs of the rich-and-beautiful-and-mighty if you want to see walls.  Try to get near their doorbell to evangelize.  Walls, people with guns, security cameras, gates, singular road access to the neighborhood, if not ocean bordering 2 or more sides, and a government-imposed DMZ of zoning for the rich makes sure nobody disturbs their tranquility.

The home in Malibu for Babs (Streisand). Notice the oceans. It provides more than a great view. Also, zoning and the byzantine array of permits helps keep the hoi polloi at bay.
Entering Oprah’s digs in Montecito, Ca., will be no easy task. It’s a veritable feudal castle.
The Kirkeby estate, Beverly Hills. It’s famous for being the fictional home of Jed Clampett of the Beverly Hillbillies.

Funny, many of the rich-and-famous overwhelmingly vote Democrat and, ipso facto, don’t like walls … if they are on the border.  They bankroll the heavy-weight Democrats in trolling Trump for pushing for a wall to protect Americans.  But they, personally, love walls.  I would think that the gazillions spent on them means that they work … or our Gatsbies might be admitting that they blew a lot of dough to simply look high and mighty.

Typical gates and walls of homes in Medina, Washington, on the eastern shore of Lake Washington, Seattle. Its an exclusive ‘burb for the well-heeled like Bill Gates.
Mark Zuckerberg’s plush hangout in Hawaii is dutifully surrounded by walls, some 6 feet high.
Zuckerberg has extended the concept to encompass his entire estate, to the displeasure of his neighbors.
The concept of safety and security is becoming quite popular. Here we have a Miami condo complex within the protective womb of gates and wrought iron fences.
Walls aren’t the end of it. Manpower is hired.
The patron saint of today’s left, Barack Obama, was protected as president, and rightly so, behind multiple barriers and a praetorian guard.
Israel’s border wall on the West Bank. Terror bombings of weddings and pizzerias has ended. Terrorists have had to resort to flying missiles over the barrier, not adding more rungs to their ladders.
A portion of Greece’s wall on its border with Turkey.
A portion of the barrier between Pakistan and India.

So, to paraphrase Chico Marx, “Who ya gonna believe, them or your own eyes?”

Use your lyin’ eyes to view the pics of the homes of the rich and famous, and the walls of other countries worried about who enters.  If “experts” on Dem retainer say walls don’t work, check the hot shot’s shoes to see if they’ve been chasing ambulances with the lawyers.
