But where are the clowns?
Quick, send in the clowns
Don't bothеr, they're herе
Stephen Sondheim "Send in the Clowns"

I posted a photo the other day of the US Border Patrol emblem on the backs of rodeo clowns. It struck me as a bit ironic, but not remarkably significant. I meant it as no insult to Rodeo Clowns, they engage in rather challenging activities, but the irony for those of us troubled by the recent actions by Border Patrol agents was too good to pass up.

By the reaction, you would have thought I posted an AI video of a former President and First Lady depicted as apes.  I expected some of the usual dribble from the Trump camp, but the reaction was more hyperbolic than expected.

Apparently the Border Patrol has been sponsors of Rodeo Clowns for some time. Now, aside wondering why the federal government is spending tax dollars on sponsoring Rodeo Clowns, I didn’t really give it much thought until the comments started to arrive.

The virulence of the reaction was truly amazing.

There was the usual “Obama did it, too. Biden did it, too.” rant. Always expected and meaningless. But then it degenerated into a full-blown diatribe on everything that is wrong with America (it’s the Democrats) and lunatic conspiracy theories of a planned open border invasion to flood the country with voters to support the Democrats.

It was head spinning, full-blown, whack-a-ding-hoy craziness without a point. Or was it?

Perhaps they see a value in putting Rodeo Clowns on the border? Some might suggest we already have one in the White House. Send in the clowns! Don’t bother, they’re here.

Now the overwhelming majority of Border Patrol agents are dedicated, conscientious, and professional. The “clowns” among them and in command are not reflective of the agency as a whole. But I would bet, if asked, they might want to see their emblem displayed on something more in keeping with their job as a law enforcement agencies.

They do not wrestle bulls for a living, but there are being tainted by the leadership bulls*&t.

My only response to this lunacy is simple.

What a bunch of clowns!
