As I have stated many times in the past, I am typically suspicious of those with hyphenated last names. Although, admittedly not 100%, those with these hyphenated last names are usually to the far left on the political spectrum, which is not my cup-of-tea.
Here in San Diego we have a politician with a hyphenated last name. He has served as a member of the San Diego City Council since 2020, representing District 9.
During his 2019 campaign, he emphasized his support for a city-wide plan to address climate change. From my perspective anyone who thinks that a city, or even a state for that matter, can affect climate change is on the spectrum … the “delusional spectrum!” Not surprisingly here in San Diego Mr. Hyphenated Last Name is one of those promoting city-wide bike lanes … bike lanes that only a very few use at the cost of millions of dollars to a city that is teetering on bankruptcy.
Mr. Hyphenated Last Name’s latest progressive gambit involves criticizing ICE agents, calling them “terrorists” after agents carried out an operation in San Diego.
He claimed ICE agents didn’t carry out the operation for the sake of safety, but instead said it was “state-sponsored terrorism… And anyone who cares about freedom—and true safety—should be fighting back.”
Putting things in perspective, Mr. Hyphenated Last Name somehow thinks that underused bike lanes can save the planet, while Mt. Etna is spewing out voluminous plumes of volcanic smoke and ash at the same time.
And furthermore he thinks that ICE agents are an example of “state sponsored terrorism!”
So there you have it … a vindication of my innate suspicion of those with hyphenated last names.
