The caravan is now less than 2000 miles from San Diego!

Panic is beginning to grip the city, as frightened residents pack personal effects into knapsacks just in case they are forced to dash madly towards Nova Scotia to save their lives

In nearby Jefferson City, Missouri, we spoke with Oswald "Hakenkreuz" Moseley, who showed us his latest "Blood and Soil" and "88" tattoos

Although Moseley has lived in Jefferson City his entire life, he now says he really wants to leave Missouri so he can live in a state that does not share a border with Mexico. But, he adds, he's having trouble finding a state like that

Meanwhile, Moseley and his friends worry that Nova Scotia could close its border to fleeing San Diegans

I'm in KY and am digging my bunker as fast as I can. Do I have time to hide before those scary kids get me?


Proposed solution: Send the Secret Service (all of 'em) on paid vacation to Hawaii, and airlift TrumPutin into the middle of those scary people. Take away his tweeter, first. Give him a bag of paper towels to hand out. If he can keep his mouth shut long enough, I'm sure they'll feed him and share water.

I'm hearing that most invading troops can be bribed with diapers and Pop Tarts.

Any adults can be deflected and detained in Owensboro, lured by the smell of fresh barbecue......

Diapers, Pop Tarts, and fresh barbeque? That doesn't sound quite as scary as Daddy's Boy Donnie makes 'em out to be. I'm beginning to get the idea he might exaggerate sometimes.

We've got to vote the real enemies out so we can help those who are not enemies.

The Celts stayed outside the city walls, banging on drums and horns to frighten the Roman citizens. Then they invaded and killed all the Roman nobility.

The San Diegans are right to be afraid.

Thank gods the troops are there to shine ices boots and dig the fox holes for the battles to come, answer their phones for them while they're manning the ramparts of the imaginary wall......it's going to be very hairy.

Aside from that scary fact, this Moseley guy apparently didn't complete his geography homework when he was a kid in school. The last I looked, heading south from Missouri eventually puts one in the state of Arkansas, not Mexico. And Louisiana is still firmly in place just to the south of Arkansas.

cars and RVs stocked with gas, guns, mosquito spray, etc. They're talking about getting themselves a little convoy, leaving in the morning and rockin' through the night to the border -- and right on past if Canadian authorities try to stop them.

Need to get padlocks, alarm systems, plywood and bars for the windows and doors, and deadly chemicals for my property lines. I'm in Rhode Island - how soon do you think they'll be here?

On second thought, maybe a hot meal, warm blanket and soft bed might be a better investment for humanity.
