@SSCloser7 @mikeroweworks Blue collar. Don't bring collard greens into this.

@MannySchewitz @mikeroweworks Any blue collard guy is more qualified than some doctor or lawyer, especially a Harvard wine ass one. You know, they don’t put up with shit!

I want to apologize for not responding to any of the 22 thousand comments my last post inspired. I’ve been filming all week and just noticed my observations about Jimmy Kimmel and a former plumber named Markwayne Mullin have gone viral. I've also noticed that many of the comments are from people who genuinely seem to believe that Jimmy wasn’t belittling plumbers at all, but was instead, simply trying to point out that Mullin is not qualified to lead the DHS. Here's a small smattering... Roger Bicknell... Mikey stop. Kimmel wasn't making fun of plumbers he was making fun of Mullin. Rebecca Piatt Gonzalez... Dearest Mike, it's not anything to do with his being a plumber. It's him NOT being skilled in Homeland Security. Patrick Wise... Being a plumber qualifies you to be a plumber. Period. The issue Jimmy and the rest of us at the adult table recognize is that jobs require certain training and experience and being a plumber does not qualify you to be Sec of DHS. Had Roger, Rebecca, Patrick and all the others who rushed to Jimmy’s Kimmel’s defense actually read what I had written, they would see that I did not suggest - even remotely - that a plumber was inherently qualified to hold a cabinet position. What I said was that being a plumber should not disqualify a person from holding such a position. Big difference. Doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, fireman, and university professors are no more or less qualified to run the DHS than plumbers, electricians, or carpenters – but should they all be dismissed as “unqualified” simply because they made a living in some other vocation? As I wrote in my original post, credentials and diplomas are great ways to bolster a person’s credibility, especially if we’re talking about mastering a specific skill. I think we can all agree that plumbers, accountants, mechanics, and surgeons should all have to prove themselves competent before hanging out a shingle. But what do their credentials and diplomas have to do with their actual competency? Are we not already surrounded by a legion of perfectly qualified experts who don't know what the hell they're doing? Moreover, what do credentials and experience have to do with wisdom, honesty, common sense, integrity, courage, the ability to lead, or any other virtue we’d like to have in our elected officials? There are plenty of legitimate reasons to question Mullin’s suitability for this role. But there’s no legitimate reason to disqualify him simply because he used to be a plumber. Just as there was no legitimate reason to dismiss AOC because she used to tend bar. As for the joke itself, here’s an honest question. If Senator Mullin was a retired doctor instead of a retired plumber, do you believe he would have would made the same joke? Roger, Rebecca, Patrick...be honest. Do you really think Jimmy would have said to his audience, "So, now we have a DOCTOR in charge of protecting us from terrorism? Hey – it worked for Dr. Suess – maybe it’ll work for Markwayne!" Personally, I don't. Not in a million years. Why? Because no one would have found it funny, that’s why. Even though doctors are no more “qualified” to protect us from terrorists than plumbers are, Jimmy knows that doctors are widely respected in society, and that plumbers are not. He knows that medical degrees and doctorates are aspirational credentials, whereas plumbing certificates are not. The entire premise of his joke was based on a personal bias that he knew his audience shared – a bias that presupposes plumbers are uneducated, one-dimensional workers who never made it to college, and are therefore "unqualified" to do anything but plumb. Jimmy is entitled to his opinion, along with anyone else who believes that Mullin is unqualified to lead the DHS. The Constitution, however, says otherwise, and so does the Senate. Likewise, reasonable people can disagree as to what is funny and what isn’t. Frankly, I couldn’t care less. What I do care about, is the extraordinary shortage of plumbers and electricians our country is facing, and the longstanding stigmas and stereotypes that continue to discourage people from considering a lucrative career in the skilled trades. Jimmy’s joke – and his audience’s reaction to it – is proof positive that those stigmas and stereotypes are alive and well. PS. We have a lot of money set aside to help train the next generation of plumbers. Apply for a scholarship at mikeroweworks.org Who knows? Could be the first step on your road to President..

I angered the Mike Rowe simps, again.

@TimButtrum316 @mikeroweworks Joe Biden was a vice-president and a senator for years. Not a fan of him, but he knew what he was doing.

@MannySchewitz @mikeroweworks What qualified Joe Biden to be president of the United States? Like he said what qualified AOC? So you’re saying to be a secretary of homeland security you must have experience as being a secretary of Homeland security?

@FmrRepMTG We see you pivoting to the new grift.

I wanted so much for President Trump to put America First. That’s what I believed he would do. All I heard from his speech tonight was WAR WAR WAR. Nothing to lower the cost of living for Americans. Nothing to reduce our near $40 trillion in debt. Nothing to save Social Security, which goes bankrupt in just a few years. Nothing to lower the cost of insurance. Nothing to address jobs for Americans. Nothing about education for our children. Nothing about our children’s future. Nothing for America’s future. I’m so beyond done. I pray for our military and their families. I pray for innocent people all over the world. I pray for peace and prosperity for all.

@ImGinnyRobinson You broke it, you bought it.

How do I get a refund on believing in Trump? That was a decade of my life, I’d like to have it back, please.

@Zebra12991210 I thought you were already boycotting the NFL. Either way, you can die mad about it.

Tell me you don't have any Jewish friends without telling me you don't have any Jewish friends.

You know what HASN'T been tested in randomised, placebo controlled trials? All those supplements they try and sell you

@clharrington024 My son speaks fluent Spanish. It is a great skill to have.

Absolutely!!! Why are we STILL requiring students to take foreign language in high school when there is virtually no benefit. Do high schoolers become fluent in the foreign language? No. Does it have a high ROI on cognitive development and brain health? Also no. Students’ brains would benefit more from 60 minutes of aerobic exercise than from sitting in a foreign language class. Also, we all have translators in our pockets. This is one of the many requirements in education whose time has expired. Public ed must stop wasting students’ time.

@itslinklauren They aren't upset. They're laughing.

The liberals making fun of Kristi Noem’s husband right now have spent the last ten years telling us men can be women, men should be in women’s sports, and that trans people are the pinnacle of beauty. Now they’re upset with someone cross dressing? That’s their party platform! Just saying. It’s not my cup of tea at all, but the hypocrisy stands out to me. 🧐🤔

@RepNancyMace You literally supported a ban on chemtrails today. A ban on something that does not exist. How fucking stupid do you think we are?

The media wants to talk about Bryon and Kristi Noem's personal drama and indiscretions. I want to talk about who is getting deported, who got paid, and who's stealing from taxpayers. Different priorities. Let's focus on what matters.

@JeremyRayfield @JesterJum You made the assertion, you back it up. Show your work, just like we did back in school.

@MannySchewitz @JesterJum Okay then, cite me your source where costs don't increase. Why is the burden of proof on just me?

Maybe groceries are so expensive because 42 million people get theirs for free 🤔 Just a thought.

@JeremyRayfield @JesterJum You're describing corporate greed. But still no source for your claim.

@MannySchewitz @JesterJum Paying attention. Looking at history. College tuition once govt loans and scholarships took over. Housing costs after bad loans were pushed on everyone. Medical after Medicaid, Medicare, and Obamacare. Groceries after half the country got SNAP. it's obvious if you look

@gregkellyusa NO

LEAVE KRISTI NOEM’S HUSBAND ALONE!!!!!!

@JeremyRayfield @JesterJum Cite your sources.

@MannySchewitz @JesterJum No. It's pretty obvious to anyone not drinking the Kool aid of communism

@DavidCopnfeels @annamlulis White isn't even a race, you Nazi.

@MannySchewitz @annamlulis White is a supreme race. Other races could be better if they tried a little

This is the hand of a 17-week-old unborn baby. Not “just a clump of cells” A living, developing human child with tiny fingers and toes. Every child is worthy of life.

@JeremyRayfield @JesterJum Wrong again.

@MannySchewitz @JesterJum It's exactly how it works you....um cashew? Everything the government subsidizes becomes abused and more expensive. EVERYTHING.

@ScottPresler This didn't happen, at all.

Tonight, a Black Lives Matter activist came up to me, put a camera in my face, & said, “What do you think of the Black Lives Matter movement?” I responded, “I don’t think black men should be unjustly locked up, while illegal aliens are rewarded with freedom.” He didn’t say anything & walked away.
