Sensitive Man

9/30/2015

As Speaker, Boehner was in the position to talk about things, but nobody cares.  Instead, many in government want someone who will put his or her own initiatives before the oppositions.  They don’t agree with compromise, and have brought this man to tears more than once in recent years.  

Some conservatives were threatening to remove Boehner from his position of House Speaker.  These are the same conservatives who favor a government shutdown over passing a deal.  In an interview with meet the press on September 27, he decided to make clear that he couldn’t say where he’d be in a year.  Now is as good of time as any to depart, and doing so will help avoid a government shutdown. 

With further house hearings set to take place in October regarding the Clinton email scandal and Benghazi, Boehner’s departure could be good news for Clinton.  In July, Boehner said she’s a liar, when Hillary mentioned she was never subpoenaed to hand over emails.  Boehner has suggested there be a criminal investigation into whether Hillary Clinton mishandled sensitive information through use of her personal email account.  We’ll miss his tearful speech if she is voted into office in 2016. 
 
Conservatives were calling on Boehner to use the spending bill to defund Planned Parenthood.  They want funding stopped to this woman’s health institution that promotes choice to the rabbit done died?  Abortion is always a big topic in politics, but controversial videos of leaders within Planned Parenthood discussing aborted fetuses has moved it to the forefront.  While they diverted a government shutdown this round in passing a temporary spending bill, they still have the option to bring this up again for negotiations when talks take place for a permanent spending bill in December.
 
The Pope’s visit took place in correlation with Boehner moving up his retirement.  The former alter-boy is going out on a high note, and on his own terms.  Had he stayed, we have to wonder if he would have allowed the GOP to manipulate him into another government shutdown.  His replacement, if as conservative will be eating from their hand soon enough.

The Outsiders

Refugees displaced due to the Syrian War have flooded bordering nations while trying to make their way to the European Union.  Refugees are also fleeing Afghanistan due to war.  Countries who previously welcomed these people looking for a place to start over and call home, are now putting up fences.          

Hungary was once a destination for some.  They may reach it now and decide not to enter.  Some are worried that once they’re in they’ll be stuck.  They are not a refugee friendly country, but a poor nation that lacks opportunity.  Hungary doesn’t want refugees to just pass through their country on their way to another either.   The country completed a fence that runs along the Serbia border, to stop illegal entry.  Those who enter illegally now can look forward to deportation and imprisonment.    

Nations throughout the European Union are being forced to implement checkpoints, and require documentation to help control the migrant traffic they’ve been getting.  Refugees attempt to satisfy the nations that say “No” with proof they are fleeing imminent danger in their own country.  If they’re not granted asylum, they can appeal through the courts.

Earlier this week, Hungary began enforcing new laws regarding border crossing.  Refugees try to get through their fence, only to be attacked by armored vehicles with water cannons.  They’re spraying tear gas into crowds of refugees to discourage them from passing through country.  Tempers fly from crowds that have migrated a long distance this far.  They now need to reroute if they hope to get around Hungary; some are trying Croatia. 

For those nations who view Hungary’s border efforts as necessary and are considering doing the same, stand by for attack.  Germany invited refugees to come to them, but is becoming limited in resources.  Sweden and Austria are also taking in refugees, but without other nations increasing their intake, Europe will become inundated with displaced people.

    My banter was on current affairs and ran from 2011 - 2016. I currently enjoy writing satire and horror shorts.

    I chose themes to run against each current event to bring some entertainment to my Banters. I began writing the banter in February 2011, and wrote my last in February 2016.
