Free For all Friday

 Seen online- Everybody talks bad about the rich, but I never got a job from a guy on welfare.

Phil the groundhog, saw his shadow today. That means six more weeks of document hunting in Delaware. By then, Zelensky will have all of Biden's stuff at his place in the Costa del Sol.

The Powerball is at over $700 million for Saturday. Before you race to the store to piss away $2, these thoughts. When I worked for the Waffle House in the 1970's, there was a group alleged to be organized crime members, who ran what law enforcement called "the numbers racket" Fifty years later, it's the same game, but the government calls it "the education lottery". The "Education Lottery"? Yes, it teaches you not to waste your money on those odds. 

Having muscled "organized crime" out of the "numbers racket", the government has converted it into a voluntary taxation system. You give them your $2 or more and then if you win, the government immediately takes back about a third for "taxes". Vinny didn't take out taxes when it was the "numbers racket". Truth in labeling should compel the government to call it "The education racket". They may have to fight colleges over that name. 

Democrats are worried about security at the State of the Union address. They only have to worry about the first two or three minutes of the speech before Biden nods off at the podium.

Someone call Kevin McCarthy and tell him to bring a five-gallon bucket with a label that reads No-Doz in large letters to put at his spot behind Biden.

Whatever happens, don't let McCarthy tear up Biden's speech like Pelosi did to Trump. Save it and send it out to be checked for plagiarism instead.

If the Republicans want to set Biden's ass on fire, they should schedule a vote on impeaching Merrick Garland for the morning of the State of the Union speech. 

This one's a long shot prediction, but I want to get it on record. On the morning of the SOTU speech, Democrats declare a security emergency and Biden delivers the speech from the restroom closest to the Oval Office. 

OR, Biden shows up in the National Vette with some cardboard office boxes and claims "These are all of the secret documents I have. Hunter sold the rest." Democrats then proceed to commit mass suicide in the House Chamber as Hunter paints half million-dollar masterpieces to sell to the Ukrainians and the Chinese. Maybe Jim Jones will show up with some Kool-Aid for AOC and her posse. Did I spell that right?

I read that the Ukrainians will be receiving new tanks to use. We don't want them to have to drive a "used tank". We are keeping those used tanks for our soldiers to use. Yes, I would like an explanation on that thought process. We are giving a corrupt government new equipment to use and keeping the old stuff to defend our country. Really? Did Gen. Milli Vanilli work out this deal with his Chinese counterpart?

If you read this swill regularly, you know that I am opposed to military aid to the Ukraine. I would like to point out that the terrain in Ukraine is completely different than anywhere these tanks have seen actual combat use. In addition to that, the camels rarely shot back. 

The NFL announced that Chris Stapleton (country singer) will perform the national anthem at the Super Bore this year. Maybe the anthem will have a chance. Someone I have never heard of is singing "Lift Every Voice". No word yet on who the Asian, Spanish, and Native American anthem singers will be or what imaginary anthems they will sing.

Tomorrow, Feb. 4, is the 24th Annual Civil War Seminar at Longwood University in Farmville, VA. It is co-sponsored by the Appomattox Court House Historical Park. My longtime acquaintance and Appomattox Park historian Patrick Schroeder will be one of the speakers. Check the longwood.edu website for more info. It's FREE!!
