Three contractors are bidding to fix a broken fence at the White House. One is from Chicago, another is from Kentucky, and the third is from New Orleans. All three go with a White House official to examine the fence.
The New Orleans contractor takes out a tape measure and does some measuring, then works some figures with a pencil “Well,” he says, “I figure the job will run about $9,000. That’s $4,000 for materials, $4,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me.”
The Kentucky contractor also does some measuring and figuring, then says, “I can do this job for $7,000. That’s $3,000 for materials, $3,000 for my crew and $1,000 profit for me.”
The Chicago contractor doesn’t measure or figure, but leans over to the White House official and whispers, “$27,000.”
The official, incredulous, says, “You didn’t even measure like the other guys. How did you come up with such a high figure? “
“The Chicago contractor whispers back, “$10,000 for me, $10,000 for you, and we hire the guy from Kentucky to fix the fence.”
“Done!” replies the government official.
And that, my friends, is how the Government works.

“Remember when … Four boxes kept us free: the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and the cartridge box.
Now, our Soapbox is censored, our Ballot box is rigged, the Jury box is threatened, and they are trying to take away our cartridge box.
I love my country; it’s the government I’m afraid of.”
In 1790, George Washington wrote a letter to a Jewish community in Rhode Island. In it, he promised that Jews in America would, “continue to merit and enjoy the good will of the other Inhabitants; while every one shall sit in safety under his own vine and fig tree, and there shall be none to make him afraid.”
Well, they’re afraid now – both in Israel and the USA. This week marks a bitter milestone, the one year anniversary of the horrific terrorist attack on Israel. Over 1200 civilians were murdered, over twice that many were wounded, and over 250 were taken hostage. Countless women were raped, and babies were cooked alive.
In terms of population, 7 October was far worse for Israel than 911, with a death toll equivalent to over 60,000 Americans.
A year later, over 100 hundred hostages remain captive – in dungeons beneath Gaza – including 7 Americans.
What is Harris doing about it?
Instead of rescuing our American hostages, she demands that Israel capitulate.
Worse, she continues to fund those same terrorists when she lifted sanctions against Iran. Since that time, Iran’s GDP has doubled from $200B to $450B a year.
The White House’s decision to help the world’s greatest funder of terrorism means that Iran continues to fund Hezbollah and Hamas and the Houthis.
Since 7 October, Iran used that money to launch hundreds – hundreds – of missiles at Israel.
Since 7 October, terrorists used that money to launch hundreds – hundreds – of attacks against US soldiers.
Since 7 October, we’ve seen 10,000 antisemitic protests – here in America! The FBI reports that 60% of hate crime in the USA is against Jews, who represent only 2% of the population.
Harris insulted the Israeli Prime Minister when he came to America, refusing to oversee a joint session of Congress for his speech and openly criticizing his leadership.
Harris insulted him again – just this week – by pointedly refusing to say that she supports Israel’s leader.
Harris’ attitude is in direct contradiction with George Washington’s declaration about the Jews that, “there shall be none to make him afraid.”
The Left pretends to care about victims. But they are the ones that are creating those victims, in tragedies that are caused by their inept decisions.
