Friday Short Shots

 Let's stop calling Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, Republicans.

Jamie Raskin is some kind of jack-in-the-box spokesman for the lunatic, leftist wing that has control of the Democratic Party.

If Lyndon B. Johnson gets a weekend pass from Hell and comes back to Washington, there's going to be some ass-kicking in the Democratic Party. The only question will be whose ass he is going to kick first. I have narrowed the winners down to either Adam Schiff or Jamie Raskin. 

I last heard from LBJ after the Democratic convention when he e-mailed me and said, "Hubert Humphrey looks like Rambo next to Tim Walz." After I pointed out that Tim Walz was the nominee for Vice -President, LBJ wrote, "Are you telling me that they are running that dim-witted, fake black broad for President?" I replied in the affirmative, but didn't hear from LBJ again until today. I guess that he just couldn't find the words.

Stacey Abrams is obviously channeling the spirit of some kind of political Porky Pig. Pardon me, Petunia Pig.

I am not a betting man, but if I were, I would bet that Trump aide Stephen Miller has never taken a Xanax.

Some male moron on MSNBC described the IRS as "hyper efficient". Someone needs to get word to this idiot to call me immediately. I was laughing so hard that I couldn't catch his name. I can't believe that anyone that stupid doesn't work for the government. Of course, he is at MSNBC, they all did work parttime for the Biden administration

I think that the idea of giving taxpayers a DOGE dividend of $5,000 is insane. Yes, I am an equal opportunity complainer. We need to use any DOGE found money on reducing our national debt. Biden sent out those checks in 2021 that sent inflation through the roof. Inflation happens when we have too much money chasing too few products. Give Americans $5,000 each and eggs will be $50 a dozen before the weekend.

As long as I am pissing off some Republicans, how about those people screaming about how bad Putin is and why we should not do anything with him. I heard Trey Gowdy describe Putin as a "war criminal". The good news is that Putin doesn't use the same barber that Trey does. Trey's hairstyle is straight out of the "Little Rascals". I didn't even know anybody in high school with that bad a haircut.

While political leaders of both political parties rant about Putin, they ignore our own history. Eighty years ago, we were allies with Joseph Stalin. I have often heard people talk about what a fun-loving party animal that Stalin was in his day. Meanwhile, Zelensky banned elections until the war is over. Both countries are operating under martial law. What makes Putin worse than Zelensky?

New York Governor Kathy "They stretched my face too far" Hochul claims that New York hasn't had a king in 250 years. As many drag queens as they have, there's no room for kings. Hochul can't smile without splitting a seam. It's about time for Pam Bondi to launch an investigation of the New York judicial system. Maybe Pam can help Hochul with a suit against her plastic surgeon.

If Letitia James gets sued by Pam Bondi, you can bet Letitia won't be sitting in the courtroom with her shoes off like she was in the Trump trial. 

Liberal federal judges are busy making the case to end that lifetime employment bullshit. I no longer support the idea of ten-year terms for federal judges. I think that we need to go to five-year terms with a limit of one. 

The talk of an Obama divorce keeps growing. My only question is: Does anyone really care? Will Big Mike be the first transexual to run for President? Or is he/she/they/we going back to the NFL as a linebacker?

Jasmine Crockett, because shit really is everywhere. The only current coherent Democrat is more of a Communist than Kameltoe. If this is the best the Democrats have, JD Vance might want to go ahead and measure the drapes at the White House.

Kamala Harris signed a deal with CAA, the same talent agency as Joe Biden. They also represent the Obama's film and television production company. I didn't realize that the market for circus clowns was so lucrative.

It's going to be a hot spring in Washington, DC with Kash Patel kicking asses at the FBI headquarters. (Author's note: The computer flagged "asses" and suggested that I change it to "assess". So much for AI!)  Maybe they will even go back to fighting crime instead of conservatives. I still think that they need to burn the headquarters building to the ground and start all over. I hate to admit it, but I periodically miss J. Edgar Hoover or Mary Hoover, whichever name he uses now. I can't remember which name to use. Who knew that Hoover was on the cutting edge of the pronoun thing?

I am seventy-one years old, and I have never heard anyone say, "I wish my staff was as efficient as those government workers."

Leading Democrats are making speeches and saying things far worse than what Donald Trump said on January 6. They are threatening Trump and other government officials. They had Jack Shit investigate Trump and search his home. Let's give Schumer, Raskin and Schiff that same treatment. I wouldn't want to be the FBI agent searching Mrs. Schiff's underwear drawer.  Are we going to prosecute them and jail them for their words?

While we are at it, it's time to call Dr. "Toupee Tony" Fauci in for some questions now that he has been pardoned and can't plead the Fifth. Are you reading this, Rand Paul??

Finally, on a pound-by-pound basis, JB Pritzker may be the dumbest Democrat in the country. He's such a mental midget that I would rather hear from AOC. As far as I can tell, Pritzker is the Democrat's Chris Christie. Hey! Hey! Hey! When he leaves the government, he can do Dunkin commercials.

Americans went to a fight last night in Boston and a hockey game broke out. The Governor of our 51st state is celebrating today. What does Little Fidel Trudeau know about sports? He thought the Green Bay Packers were a group of gay guys.

Mercifully, here comes the Dawn. Yeah, there's some dishes to wash.

There's No Business Like Snow Business?

 It's snowing in Piedmont North Carolina today. It snowed yesterday afternoon as well. We got about a whopping one inch of snow at my house. It didn't even completely cover the grass in the front yard. While we got snow, those to the east of us received the dreaded ice storm.

Civilization shuts down when it snows in North Carolina. The weather idiots on local television are breathlessly telling you not to go outside less you get stricken down by the snow gods. The only acceptable activity is to sit in front of the television while the "meteorologists" practice some kind of Vulcan mind melds on viewers. If they can keep you in front of the television set, you won't get hurt in some kind of snow related activity. Of course, the real risk is that your brain will turn to mush in front of the television set.

I ran Tex & Shirley's Family Restaurant in Greensboro for twenty-one years. The number of days that we closed for snow can be counted on one hand. On most snow days, we would open at 6:00 AM and then close in the early afternoon. There was no need to be open in the evening, the Carolina natives were hunkered down at home. 

Most of the employees could find a way to work in the morning. If not, a couple of us would go out and pick up employees and bring them to work. They stopped making them, but the Dodge Caravan was the best vehicle for hauling employees on snow days. The Caravan handled well in the snow, and you could carry several employees. I was always amazed that most of the people who I picked up in the morning found another way home when they got off from work in the afternoon. 

Today in America, most cars are front wheel drive. Half of the vehicles sold are SUVs with 4-wheel drive. Yet on snow days, people claim that they can't get to work. Conditioned by a public education system that doesn't educate kids in cold, hot, or wet weather, they believe that the world stops revolving at the first sighting of a snowflake. 

The waitstaff liked snow days. It was usually pretty busy, and people tipped better to show their appreciation for us being open for business. Other employees were just happy that they wouldn't miss a day's pay.

 My kids went to a private school. Apparently, there is some kind of magic in private schools that enables them to open when snow is in the air. The boys knew that they were either going to school or going to work at the restaurant. Yesterday might have been the first snow day that I didn't work in years.

So, where is all of this going? Yesterday, the replacement Tex & Shirley's announced that they would be closed because of the snow forecast. I had one phone call and four e-mails telling me about this event. No one thought that it was a good idea. The owner said that the staff was scattered over the Triad area, and they couldn't get to work and back home safely. I can only surmise that none of them drive front wheel drive or four-wheel drive cars.  My best guess is that nobody really wanted to work. 

Whether it snows or not, the rent must be paid. The electric bill, the insurance, the maintenance and repair bills and other costs march on whether it snows or not. The work ethic that made this the greatest country on earth is in peril. It wasn't a good day for the future of America. Just for the record, the Russians are famous for fighting wars in the snow.

What's the moral of the story? Be nice to people working when you aren't, especially if you are taking a snow day and they aren't. Be thankful that someone was ambitious enough to find their way to work regardless of what the weather idiots were saying. My alma mater, the Waffle House, is always open! If the Waffle House closes, you better be hunkered down somewhere safe. 

Budget Cutting for Beginners

 It's obvious to anyone without a (D) behind their name that we have to cut the federal budget. Most of those folks are more worried about having to cut the spending for their favorite program spending than they are worried about paying our bills. They are more worried that we won't be able to furnish drag queen shows for other countries than they are about loading up the taxpayers with debt.

Balancing your budget as a nation really isn't much different than balancing your budget at home. Democrats in Congress keep telling us that they can do this but can't explain why they haven't done it yet. Hell, they can't even explain how a bill they called the Inflation Reduction Act increased spending, drove up the deficit and didn't reduce inflation. 

Here's a simple idea to understand. If a guy drives his car through a garage door, destroys the cars inside and ends up with his car in the laundry room, he is not the guy who gets to drive the car out of the garage. To get the car out, you have to understand how the car got in there in the first place.

I think that we need to put some bankruptcy attorneys and bankruptcy judges in the Office of Management and Budget to oversee what is happening there. Have them look at every expense of the federal government.

Do you ever go through your credit card bill or your bank statement at home and wonder, "What the hell was that for?" Multiply that times about 200 million and you have the situation that we are facing today. Just like your kid doesn't need a $300 baseball bat and a $200 glove, we don't need to export expensive demonstrations of depraved behavior to foreign countries. Let's not let the world know that we are both financially and morally bankrupt!

At some point in life parents have to cut the apron strings to their kids. It's okay to help them out if times are tough, but we don't need to send them on a Caribbean cruise when they lose their job. There is probably not enough magic at Disney's Magic Kingdom to get the kids back to work.

How can we get the public involved? First, write every Congressional bill in SIMPLE English. We need to tell Americans what we are spending their tax money on. The whole "black budget" bullshit is history. If Congress can't tell us what they are spending it on, they shouldn't spend it. Our enemies know more about what we are spending our money on than our own citizens know. It is time to end this practice. If you don't think that the Chinese know more about what our government spends than the American public does, remember that they make most of our computers and smart phones. No chance of anything there being compromised, is there? We aren't keeping secrets from other countries. Our politicians are keeping secrets from the American people.

If you think that the black hole of secret spending on the "black budget" is a good idea, try it with your wife and family.  Tell the little woman that you are going to spend about 25% of your income on stuff that you aren't going to tell her about. Before doing this, take out enough cash to retain that divorce attorney that you will need. You probably want to buy a cot to sleep on as well.

Finally, quit telling us that we can't afford to cut the budget. What we need to do is simple. We need to invoke Jones' Rule of Circumcision. Jones' Rule of Circumcision says that you can cut 10% off of anything and it will still work. A few years of that kind of budgeting and we will be on the road to economic security.

Fraud, Waste and Greed, Oh My!!

 Why do we have 60 million more Social Security accounts than we have living residents? 

North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson has cooperated with other states in suing the Trump Administration about several things. Memo to Jerk Off Jeff Jackson: Trump carried North Carolina in the presidential election. Despite there being several Presidential candidates on the North Carolina ballot, he received more votes than you did. How much North Carolina tax money have you spent on these lawsuits? Either stop suing Trump or pay for it out of your own pocket!!

Democrats claim that Congress can find and fix all of the fraud, waste and corruption in the federal government. If this is true, why haven't they done that already? What are they waiting for? Did they know about all of this fraud and do nothing about it? We need to sue Congress for malpractice. The group of Democrats in the House is the biggest circle jerk in history.

In my lifetime, the Republicans have controlled the House of Representatives for 26 years and the Dims controlled it for 46 years. The story over in the Senate is similar with Republicans controlling for 28 years and the Dims for 44 years. The Dims have controlled the Congress for more than 60% of the last seventy-two years but now claim that they are not responsible for anything that happened. How does that work? Is anybody in government responsible for anything??

The same people who claim that there is no waste in government also told us that "Joe Biden is as sharp as a tack". I won't bother mentioning those who raved about Kameltoe Harris. 

Are all politicians hiding a "Born to Bullshit" tattoo somewhere?

There's an alleged news website called "Raw Story". I can only surmise that "Outrageous Lies" was already taken as a name.

How long before Joe Biden resurfaces in the news? In Las Vegas they are taking bets on which network will run his obituary first. The smart money is betting that CNN or MSNBC will be declared dead before Biden is.

I gave up flying on commercial flights about twenty-three years ago. I am unwilling to be denuded of my dignity to get packed into a human sardine can and shot into the air. Yesterday, a Delta Regional Jet flipped over upon landing at Toronto airport. Winds were high, the runway was icy. There were eight people injured. I am guessing that most of those were among the people who unbuckle their seatbelts and stand the instant the plane touches down. Hopefully, everything will be okay with them. Just another reason for me not to fly. The good news is that Dims can't blame Trump for this accident. But the Democratic operatives in the news media will try anyway.

Sunday's NBA All-Star game was just another reason to eliminate "All-Star" games in professional sports. The only thing driving All-Star games in sports is greed. Give it up! Pack it in! Put that dog down! Use any phrase that you want, just end it! They won't just give up on the game. They keep adding other events in an effort to justify the expensive tickets for a lackluster show. 

In three weeks, we have seen the NFL Pro Bowl, the Stupor Bowl and the NBA All-Star Game. Can we at least take this crap off of television? Before you waste your breath telling me what a great game the Super Bowl was, I will remind you that the Eagles were up 34-0 before they pulled the starters and let the bench boys play a quarter. The Chiefs still lost!!

Monday Morning Musings

 On the news this morning, I learned that Saturday Night Live celebrated their fiftieth anniversary with a special episode last night. So, Saturday Night Live celebrated their anniversary with a Sunday night episode?  I have never watched an episode of SNL and last night didn't change my record. If I want to get my intelligence insulted, CNN is on 24/7. That would be easier than staying up late on Saturday night.

When I was growing up long ago and far away in a place called Tampa, Shock Theater with Dr. Paul Beare was on at 11:30 PM on Friday nights. I tried several times to stay up late and watch it. I never saw an episode of that, either. By the way, it was Tampa, not Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay is a body of water. Tampa is the largest city in the Bay area.

Democrats are continuing their "We don't know whether to shit or go blind." campaign. It's quite a treat to watch Democrats advocating for governmental waste and corruption. They want to keep government workers who aren't actually working on the payroll. Trump needs to put RFK Jr. on the drive to develop a Trump Derangement Syndrome vaccine to help the Democrats regain some show of sanity. RFK could help save the lives of those former friends and relatives of his with this vaccine.

Democrats are also complaining that Trump is moving too fast to stop the war in the Ukraine. The loony libs are all into process, not results.

What liberals fail to acknowledge is that Biden couldn't do anything because he was brain dead. Heard from him lately? Hell, he went into hiding the day after Election Day. He didn't even turn up on Groundhog Day.

The House Republicans need to start impeachment proceedings against these federal district judges who are issuing these injunctions against Trump's actions to reduce the size of government. It's time to end stupid decisions, lifetime employment and pensions for federal judges. It's time to go to a ten-year term, no pension plan for federal judges. They aren't getting wiser with age.

Liberals are claiming that the Trump Administration is giving NYC Mayor Eric Adams a deal to drop the charges against him. We can resolve this issue with Pam Bondi leading an investigation of the New York governor, Attorney General and Justice Department. Let's find out if they worked with the Biden Administration to charge Trump and later Adams. Inquiring minds (there are none on television) want to know.

Trump showed up at the Daytona 500 yesterday just to piss off Democrats, if you believe the news media morons. I heard some schmuck on the news complaining about how much it cost to have Air Force One fly over the racetrack. I guess that if Trump had packed about a hundred illegals into the cargo compartment of Air Force One, it would have shut the liberals up.

Trump can end these complaints about Air Force One by having Greyhound build a fleet of gold-plated busses to transport the President for these shorter trips. Reporters will have to ride in the back of these busses.

NASCAR needs to go back to racing actual cars. All of the cars are identical with labels that claim Camaro, Mustang or Camry. Other than the name, these cars have exactly nothing in common with the actual cars bearing those names. There are no parts on a "stock car" that are actually on a production automobile.

Back in the Stone Age or the 1960's, you pick, manufacturers had to sell a certain number (500?) of a car model before they could race them. Look up "Plymouth Superbird" for more info. The Superbirds were banned by NACAR for being too fast. They were the first NASCAR racers to do 200 MPH. In the interest of "Full Disclosure", I have a MOPAR bias. You can also look up "Ford Talladega" to see a comparable Ford. 

Stupor Sunday + 7

 Kid Rock announced that he is going to do a gospel album. I'm not waiting by the phone for him to call and offer me a spot in it.

Were all of the people who have access to the Treasury Department payments system required to get Senate approval? Asking for a friend.

How do Representatives and Senators become millionaires making $174,000 a year in a place as expensive to live as Washington, DC? They must have one hell of a bonus plan. Elon needs to ask for details.

Let's have the IRS audit every Senator and Representative in the Congress. We have the staff since Biden hired 80,000 new agents. I want to know how Bernie Sanders can afford three homes. How can Elizabeth Warren be worth $20 million?  Let's take a look at Maxine Waters' $6 million home in Los Angeles. Of course, in Los Angeles that could be a three-bedroom doublewide. How about an audit of AOC? I have never known a bartender who reported all of their income. I am only 71, so there's still a chance left that I could meet one who did.

Before you think that I am not being fair criticizing Congress, I offer two words, Robert Menendez. If you think that he was the only one taking bribes, there's still time for you to buy that oceanfront home that I am selling in Nebraska. Call me!!

Mitch McConnell isn't falling because he is old. He falls because Menendez shoved some payoff-sized gold bars into Mitch's pockets, and now he can't maintain his balance with all that swinging weight. Now of course, all of that weight is killing the guy pushing McConnell in his getaway wheelchair.

Mitch McConnell said that he didn't vote for RFK Jr. because of things that RFK had said about vaccines. He can't actually remember what RFK said, but he's pretty sure that he didn't like it. 

Before the Stupor Bowl last Sunday, I had never heard of Drake or Kendrick Lamar. I have never listened to any of their alleged "music" and can assure you that I never will. The "news reports" of the last few days make it sound like there is about to be some kind of gang warfare between the two clowns and their fans/followers/disciples/morons. I can't believe that anyone even cares. Is there really this big of a news shortage after the Stupor Bowl? 

I really don't understand "rap" music. If you are willing to pay big money to have someone cuss loudly at you, call me. Word to your mother. The New Vanilla Ice?

Last year, the budget for the Department of Agriculture was $213.2 billion. Trying to stop a bird flu, they killed about one hundred million hens. Billions of dollars later, the bird flu is still here, we are short 100 million hens and eggs are around $8 a dozen. Who the hell is running the USDA, Dr. Fauci? Is there any intelligent life in Washington? When the bulldozers finish over at the FBI headquarters, send them over to the USDA buildings. 

It's hard to believe that TikTok could be a bigger threat to the nation than Facebook, but I don't really know or care. I heard that Trump told Putin that if he didn't work out a peace deal with Ukraine, he was going to talk trash about him on TikTok. I can't wait to see the video of Trump trashing Putin. Then he can reuse that video for Chuck Schumer. Schumer's more of a Communist than Putin.

Earlier in our country's history, one of the major political parties was the Whigs. They were founded in 1833 by Henry Clay. They disbanded in 1856. Truth in Advertising laws are causing the Democratic Party to rename itself. Rename is too simple for Dems, they are "rebranding". They are the new "Whig" Party. That's Waste, Hate, Incompetence, Greed. Sorry, that's the best that I can do on a Sunday.

In my search for intelligent life in Washington, I have taken Democratic rallies off the list of places to check. The worst effort at an insult at one rally the other day came when some alleged female said, "You can't spell 'felon' without 'Elon". Just for the record, all of those folks have a (D) behind their names. You can't spell Dickhead, Douche bag, Derelict or Dumbass without a "D"!

The Age of Rage for Dims

 You can't look at the news without hearing from some half-wit Democrat about what Trump has destroyed today. Let's review some of these rants.

Liberals scream that illegal immigrants "are not criminals".  Au contraire, mon ami! It is a violation of United States law to enter the nation illegally. People who violate laws are criminals. So, if you violate the law by entering illegally, you are a criminal. Buy a dictionary! Then study that same book.

State and local governments CANNOT decide that federal laws do not apply in their states or cities. If any of you leftist schmucks would take up the time to pick up a history book, you would find that we settled this issue of the supremacy of federal laws by fighting the War Between States.

The federal government cannot require that you help them enforce immigration laws. But neither can you obstruct them from enforcing federal laws. Sanctuary cities and states are a myth. The federal government can go where the criminals are. States and cities cannot demand that the federal government fund them as they shelter illegals (aka criminals). Yeah, it works both ways!

Donald Trump won the election for President in 2024. If you live in the United States, he's your President. If you don't agree with this, shut up or pack up and move. 

Peter, Paul and Mary are no longer able to sing at protests. Only Paul is still alive. Find yourselves another folk group to use at protests or pack it in. Those clowns who think that can are tugging the nation's heartstrings by singing at your protests are actually building the barf-bag business.

I keep hearing a bunch of leftists tell the world that they are ready "to fight". Just a gentle reminder that the folks who you want to fight are the ones with the guns. You might want to give this one a little more thought.

You need to take another look at the positions that you are taking on Donald Trump. More people supported Trump than supported your candidate. So, quit ridiculing 78 million Americans who voted for Trump. Does "majority rule" only apply when your side wins?

Let me break it to you gently, you are in the minority. It's not your Presidency to run! Federal spending, waste and fraud are the stuff of legends. There is no one with more than a room temperature IQ who doesn't know that the government wastes billions of dollars a day. Stop trying to justify fraud, waste, corruption and incompetence. This is not the image that will win the hearts and minds of taxpaying Americans. Many of those same Americans think that "federal employee" is an alternative spelling of "incompetent".  

You sat quietly while the country was run by a group of anonymous liberals who had a senile old fart that they used as a hand puppet. Joe Biden pretending to be the President was the biggest fraud in our nation's history. Are you sure that you want to complain about Trump??

Hitching your star to illegal immigrants and transgenderism is not a winning strategy. Read the frigging room!! I'm sorry, but your world died on November 5. Find some new causes.

Here's a quick thought for leftists to consider: Your actions are proving that Donald Trump is right. 

Dem Dim Dems?

 If God ever made anything dumber than a Democrat, he kept it to himself.

If you don't believe that, here's some proof. Yesterday, Rep. Jan Schakowsky, a Democrat from Illinois, offered her wisdom and claimed that the reason more women weren't working in "manufacturing" was that the word "manufacturing" sounds like a man. Her exact words were. "And you had mentioned trying to engage more women in manufacturing. I'm just wondering if just the name manufacturing sounds like a guy." 

Rep. Schakowsky is the poster child for everything that is wrong with Congress. She just started her fourteenth term in Congress. She is eighty years old. She has been in Congress since January 3, 1999. She has been there so long that I had hair when she started in Congress. My older son was in junior high school. If trying to link "manufacturing" to the evils of the word "man" is her best shot, it's time for the old broad to pack it in. Just a pointer for the never-ending Congressional candidate, the word "woman" also contains the word "man". Does she think that "woman" sounds like a guy?

But wait, there's more!! She represents part of Chicago, the Democratic-run hellhole on the lake. Before she was elected to that spot, Rep. Sidney Yates represented that district for twenty-four terms from 1949 to 1999. He missed one term in the early sixties when he attempted a Senate run. So, in Chicago two Democrats have represented one congressional district for seventy-four of the last seventy-six years. There aren't a lot of new ideas coming out of that district.

Just for the record, the turnover rate in the old Soviet Politburo was higher than this. Congress is a place where people go to die. What are the odds on Mitch McConnell lasting another two years?  Was Diane Feinstein in her prime when she checked out of the Senate? How about that specimen of good health, Jerry Nadler? Nadler always wears a tie because a bib would be too obvious. Every time that 86-year-old Maxine Waters opens her mouth, the word "dementia" comes to mind. Shall I go on?

When shall we start the serious discussion about term limits on Congress. There is already a term limit on the President. Why not two terms in Congress?

Democrats were incensed that Elon Musk changed his name on "X" formerly Twitter, to "Harry Bolz". He did the same thing a couple of years ago, but Democrats weren't screaming about him destroying democracy then. Democrats are also incensed that one of Elon's associates, a 19-year-old computer genius, used to have the screen name, "Big Balls". There are rumors that Monica Lewinsky wants to work with Musk's group. Get a grip, Monica. It's not going to happen.

There used to be Democrats who had a sense of humor, not anymore. In 1989 Senator Fat Teddy Kennedy was on vacation in Europe when photographs of him having sex with a young girl in the open back of a boat out in a bay were published in the National Enquirer. When the Senate returned to session, Senator Howell Heflin, Democrat from Alabama, was in the Seante Cloakroom and announced loudly, "Senator Kennedy, I see that you have changed your position on offshore drilling." There aren't any Dems left in Congress with a sense of humor like that.

I may be wrong on that previous statement. I watched a news clip last week of Chuck "The Schmuck" Schumer trying to fire up a crowd by chanting "We will win!" Whoever told him that was a good idea either had a real sense of humor or is getting paid by Republicans. Memo to Schumer: That wasn't a good look for you, Chuck.

This week Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was sworn in to serve as HHS Secretary in the Trump administration. Somewhere in hell, John and RFK Sr. are rolling over.

Just for the record Rep. Schakowsky, Democrat and Dementia both start with "Dem"? Is there a connection? 

Are Dims Fans of Trans?

 Worcester, Massachusetts has declared itself to be a "sanctuary city for transgenders". I guess that "mental institution" lacked the flair that they were trying to find. 

In Worcester they have chosen to celebrate and "protect" people who want to lop off their penises, cut off their breasts, tie off their testicles and equip themselves with artificial vaginas and penises. In the old days we would have put these folks into mental institutions, today they go on display at City Council meetings in Worcester.

I have heard it said that in the South, we put our crazy people on display for all of the world to see. We can't hold a candle to the Yankees in Worcester. Transgenders are a group of people in search of a low IQ audience. 

They call mutilating your sex organs, "gender affirming care". The only thing being affirmed is that the patient is mentally ill. Anyway, you slice it or "affirm" it, this is a mental illness.

Actually, I was wrong. This whole transgender thing affirms that the doctors who do this are all in it for the money. They found out that there were billions of dollars to be made by just humoring the mental patients. They do surgeries that cannot be reversed. They put their patients on expensive drugs that they will have to take until they die. The only good thing there is that gender-affirming care substantially reduces your life expectancy so that your death will come sooner than normal.

How much is being spent on the hormones and other drugs needed to make this whole transgender treatment thing look like a real medical procedure? How much revenue is being generated by pharmaceutical companies making these drugs?

In fact, the facts show that people who have experienced "gender affirming care" are almost ten times more likely to commit suicide than the average population. There's something to look forward to!!

We are not helping these mostly young people by giving them surgeries that they don't need. It's time to teach young people what "No" means.

Democrats are big on this whole transgender issue because they don't know what they believe either. You can't be everything to everybody, it just won't work. Let's just ban transgender surgeries or "gender affirming care". These people don't need surgery, they need mental health professionals to help them solve their issues.

I think that it is time for the Democrats to take a close look at what they support. They have gone from the party of the working man to the party of the non-working man. They are encouraging depraved behavior in exchange for votes from the lunatic fringe.

On the days that I think that I am a little crazy, I look at the Democrats and realize that I am in better shape than I thought.

Those Damn Yankees!!

 I just looked at my blog's stats. If you are reading this from Germany, Austria or France, Thank you for reading. But on with today's tirade.

Democrats are running loose in the streets of Washington trying to convince us that there is no waste or fraud in the federal government for DOGE to find. What are they worried about? Does anyone with more than a room temperature IQ believe that there is no government waste?

Democrats are threatening to demonstrate in the streets if the audits continue. Talk about a one trick pony. Go ahead and burn your own neighborhoods again, guys. Is it okay to say "guys"? If not, call 1-800-DUMBASS to register your pronouns.

Last week FEMA sent the state of New York $59 million to help with the expenses of housing illegal immigrants. Trump fired four of those responsible for doing that yesterday. That's how organizations should operate. You do something you were told not to do; you lose your job. That's life in the big leagues. If you can't make the plays, you can't make the team. (That's my annual sports analogy!)

I spent my life in the restaurant business. If you want to know how service is at your place, send a stranger in to eat and talk to him about his experience. It's the same story in Washington. We need people from outside to come in and expose the stupid stuff that is happening there. The people who live and work there are basically blind to what they see every day. 

If you think that the Department of Education and teachers' unions are good for our children's educations, find yourself a ninth grader. Ask them to tell you what a verb is. Then ask them to tell you everything they know about the American Revolution. Don't cough, you will miss the answers. 

One of the things that I like about Donald Trump is that he delegates to his people. The other is that he is actively bringing in younger people to help run the government. The Democrats are the party of the old people. The average age of Democratic Senators is probably over 75. Those guys think that I am a young person. 

More than forty years ago, my boss asked me who on the staff could run the restaurant if I died. I looked at him and said, "Do you know something that I don't?" He said, "Yes, there are car accidents every day. People die of heart attacks in their twenties. You don't have to be old to get murdered. I just want to know who is going to run the place if you die." I started training the assistant manager the next day to take my place. 

My point is that Trump is setting up a system that will be able to operate if something happens to him or after he leaves office. Of course, he is starting with better people. I can picture J.D. Vance as President. I couldn't picture Kamala Harris as a clerk at the White House.

And in late breaking news, Pam Bondi announced that the federal government is suing the State of New York, Governor Kathy Hochul, Attorney General Letitia James, and DMV Director Mark Schroeder. It seems that New York state law requires them to notify illegal immigrants if the federal government asks for information about them. The Department of Justice says that this state law is unconstitutional.

I grew up believing that this whole states' rights thing was settled by the War Between the States ending in 1865. Who knew that the states who believed that the federal laws were supreme would change their opinions 160 years later? Are the Yankees going to secede in 2025?

Three Peed?

 Yes, I am writing about the results of the Stupor Bowl held in New Orleans yesterday. I didn't watch the game. However, about midnight our old dog woke me up with a urination emergency. She needed to go out in the rain. When we returned to the warmth of the living room, I turned the television on and saw the news from New Orleans. It seems that Kelce, mighty Kelce had struck out.

I receive the A.M. Spectator newsletter on weekdays from the American Spectator magazine. Last week, they invited readers to submit their forecast on the Super Bowl final score. This guy, who hasn't watched a game all year, was closest with a projection of the Eagles winning 35-21. Ahhh, the glory of victory.

A friend sent me a link to a video of the Dunkin Donuts commercial that ran during yesterday's game. There was also a six-minute video out of which the one-minute commercial was cut. It was pretty funny. I loved the part where they ridiculed Starbucks. One guy in the ad said, "Who wants to wait thirty minutes for them to misspell my name on a cup?" Yeah, I am not a Starbucks customer. Actually, I have never drank a cup of coffee. I didn't drink coffee when it was ten cents a cup at the Waffle House, I sure wouldn't drink whatever that liquid gold is that they serve at Starbucks.

All that I heard about the Super Bowl for the last couple of weeks was that the Kansas City Chiefs were going to "three-peat". Instead, you have the title of this post. Were the three named Mahomes, Kelce and Biden?

Hostages being released by Hamas look like Holocaust survivors; Trump was right. Of course, that just fits right in with the Hamas goal of killing all of the Jews.  Let's quit treating Hamas as some kind of heroes pursuing a noble cause. It's time to take action against those here marching in support of Hamas.

With Trump trying to reduce the size of the Federal government, the Democrats have come out in support of inefficiency, waste and corruption. The millions spent by USAID to spread their gospel of transgenderism to other nations is enough of a reason to shut those folks down.

The Democrats are trying to justify wasting our tax dollars and are wasting our money going to court to preserve that system. Why should federal workers be exempt from losing their jobs? There are layoffs and terminations every day in private business.

Is there a taxpayer in this country who has never seen the bad side of the federal government? Were taxpayers more surprised by the nature of the waste in government or the size of the waste?

A couple of weeks ago, Senator Fauxchohontas Warren said, "There is nothing in the Constitution that says ordinary Americans have a right to see what we are spending tax dollars on."  We may need to redefine arrogance! It's time to decide who works for who. Memo to Fauxchohontas: You are being put on the endangered species list.

But wait!! There's a cure for a lot of this. It is term limits. Yes, term limits on both elected and appointed officials. We have a two-term limit on Presidents, but Senator is a lifetime job. There are many in the House of Representatives who have been there for more than forty years. This is what is causing many of our problems. These people aren't doing what's best for the nation, they are doing what is best for getting themselves re-elected. It's time to change this picture.

We need to end lifetime employment for federal workers. As is being shown right now, it is almost impossible to reduce the size of the federal workforce. You can't fire these people; you can't lay them off. They are sucking up your tax dollars until they are ready to leave. Those of us paying for this don't enjoy that level of job security. Something's got to give!

There's an old story about a guy who worked at the Department of Agriculture in Washington. One day, he went into the office and the guy at the next desk was crying. He walked up to him and asked, "What is wrong?" The guy looked up and said, "My farmer died." And that's the way it works in Washington, D.C.

The Beginning of the End?

 Liberals in America are hitting their own chests with the paddles as they struggle to remain alive and relevant in the United States of Trump.

The sight of Chuck "the Schmuck" Schumer waving his arms and attempting to jump at a rally where the lefty loons gathered to protest the government disclosing who has been getting all the money is a sure sign that the end is near. They live in fear of Elon's "Geek Patrol" accessing what is rightly public information about to whom the federal funds have flowed.

 Libs are fearful that Americans will finally find that federal funds have freely flowed to finance fag fests in foreign fiefdoms. Say that one three times fast. It's like your kid wanting money to pay his credit card bill and you tell them you want to look at the bill first. After years of hearing the expression, is somebody going to finally "bring the receipts"?

What exactly is the thought process in funding a drag queen festival in a foreign country? Is this why other countries have no respect for us?

One of the most common oxymorons is "federal worker". It's well past time for ALL federal workers to return to the office. The folks in the Army and Navy can't work from home, why should the bureaucrats be able to "phone it in"? It's time for federal employees to show up and put up or shut up. If the Congress had any balls, and they don't, they would cut the size of government by 50% tomorrow. Every private business in America has to make staffing adjustments, why not the federal and state governments?

The biggest problem that Democrats face is Donald Trump. While Democratic state Attorneys-General flock to courthouses to file frivolous lawsuits, Trump keeps taking action. They didn't expect him to send the "Geek Patrol" in so early in the game. They were sure that he would wait for Congress to debate the issue. Democrats can't see it, but they are like the little boy putting his finger in the dike trying to stop the water. Of course, in Dem land, little girls put their fingers in dykes, but that's another topic. Yes, either spelling of dyke/dike is acceptable. But back to the analogy, Trump is the flood that the little boy (the Dims) is trying to stop. It's not going to work.

Trump has four years in office. Since he can't be sure of what will happen in the 2026 elections, he has to try to accomplish as much as possible in his first two years. What are the Dems going to do? They impeached him twice and failed. They don't have the votes to even start that process again. Of course, crazy Al Green, the Demented Demon Democrat from Houston, has announced that he will file articles of impeachment against Trump. He ought to print those on toilet tissue so that Trump can wipe his ass with them. Green has been in Congress for twenty years and is a walking case for term limits. There's nothing like a guy who has made a career of slopping at the public trough attacking a President trying to Make America Great Again. What's Al done?

Allow me to break it down for the slow among you who are actually highly unlikely to be reading this. But just in case, we are borrowing trillions of dollars to fund stupid activities in foreign countries. Why? This isn't like keeping the world safe for democracy. Is spreading the gospel of transgenderism going to feed any starving people? Will drag queen festivals spread freedom and democracy? Is some guy in a foreign country going to look at a six-foot six drag queen in a purple dress and a beard and say, "Uh Huh! Gotta get me some of that." 

A currently popular phrase is "the hill you want to die on". As long as I can remember, Americans have hated foreign aid. There's never been any serious reciprocity in foreign aid. We spent billions to keep England free in World War 2 and they sent us programs for PBS. It's just not equitable. If you took a vote among Americans tomorrow, foreign aid would lose on about a 2-1 margin. Ask around. Trump's just echoing what Americans have told him. Why don't other "leaders" do that? Is foreign aid going to be the hill that the Democratic party dies on?

Freaky Friday Free-for-all

 Can somebody get Hillary to just shut the hell up? She's blaming Trump for the airplane crash last week. This woman is causing me to have to redefine "bitch". Has she considered changing her last name to "Cunton"? It's been eight years since she lost to Trump, and she still isn't over it. 

Bitch, Woman, get into some kind of 12 step program for losers and learn to deal with an election from over eight years ago. I can't even carry a grudge that long. How can you?

In the first Clinton term in the 1990's, the American Spectator ran a series of articles from interviews with the Arkansas State Troopers who guarded the Governor's Mansion in Little Rock. No one had a kind word for Hillary. Fast forward thirty years and nothing has changed. She's still a bitch. It sure makes it easier to understand the Gennifer Flowers and Monica Lewinsky stories.

Hillary got elected to the US Senate from New York for the same reason that Bobby Kennedy, the carpetbagger from Massachusetts, got elected in New York. She was a Democrat. Unless there's another COVID outbreak and they go back to mail-in ballots, Hillary's winning days are past.

Hillary said that the people working with Elon Musk were not old enough to rent a car. What does a broad who has to be driven everywhere know about renting a car? Beyond that, I thought that Democrats were supposed to be the party that embraces young voters. Is that just another Clinton lie?

My memory may be slipping, but I certainly don't remember either Hillary or anyone in the Clinton White House telling the press that Monica Lewinsky was too young to rent a car. Did it take Hillary thirty years to come up with that line? Why didn't Hillary point that out in 1996? Monica was only twenty-two years old when she and Bill had sex, depending on the standard definition of "sex," not the Clinton definition. Did Hillary ever say that Monica was too young to rent a car?  

I was watching the news last night and they had a couple of Congressmen on the show. One of them started talking about how Trump didn't need Elon Musk to find waste in the government. He said that Congress can do that. I was laughing so hard that I fell out of a recliner.

Congress can't find waste and they have no ideas about how to stop waste. They are the people who create it. They pass laws and then let bureaucrats in our government decide how to implement the laws and projects. This is where the world's biggest bureaucracy originates. Nobody in government is going to vote to end their own job. We are ruled by unelected bureaucrats who then bitch about Elon Musk being unelected. This may be the best new example of the word "irony". If not that, hypocrisy.

Congress could straighten this out if they would work until the job is completed. But the average elected official works in Congress less than four days a week. The majority of their time is spent trying to get reelected and raising money to fund trying to get reelected. They keep passing bills that empower unelected government lifers who do not answer to voters. We need to tear this house of cards down and start again. Right now, the main purpose of the United States Congress is to get reelected. 

If you think that the Department of Education is worth saving, ask your kids to tell you everything they know about World War 2. You won't need to rearrange your schedule to accommodate the time for an answer.

Thunk This on Thursday

 CBS News has released an allegedly unedited transcript of their interview with Kamala Harris where they showed different answers to the same question. One answer appeared in a promo for Sixty Minutes and the other appeared on the actual show. The purported unedited transcript shows that they split the answer in half and showed the two parts separately. Why didn't they just air it all in the story? Better yet, why didn't they just offer to interview her live? Anyone without a (D) label knows that answer.

Democrats are busy proving that the federal government is the biggest money scam in history. What extreme leftist cause has not received federal funding? We are borrowing money to put on drag shows in countries that hate us. Is this some kind of psychological warfare? Maybe some of our opponents were talking about the Dims when they called the United States the "Great Satan."

Democrats are calling for people to take to the streets to protest what Trump is doing. Pam Bondi needs to indict some of these schmucks for "inciting a riot". Let's put some liberals in jail so they can get that January 6 protester experience. Maybe if Schumer goes to prison, they can fit him with a real pair of classes. He must have bought the closing stock of cheap reading glasses when the K-Marts all shut down.

There are 677 District Court permanent judges in the United States. There are also more judges who stay on in "Senior" status. We need to end this circus of litigants trying to find a sympathetic District Judge to sue the President for his actions. Those cases need to be handled by the Appeals Court in whatever district the state is in. Lunatics posing as state governors and shopping for judges wastes our time and money. 

Trump has been in office for three weeks and Democrats are complaining that prices are still too high. Joe Biden spent four years blaming Trump for everything. When will the Dims and Slow Joe take responsibility for anything? 

The federal government kills 100 million chickens and people wonder why eggs cost so much. That's because people in government and those who support them don't understand how the world actually works. Chickens lay eggs. If the chickens are dead, there are no eggs. If there are limited supplies of eggs, the price of eggs goes up. The good news is that I am not charging you for this lesson in "eggonomics".

An acquaintance, as many people have suggested that I have no friends, sent a link to an article in Reason magazine. Reason is allegedly a magazine for libertarians. I used to describe libertarians as "Republicans who want to smoke pot". But it appears that the weed has eaten too many braincells in the Reason writers and readership. I read a couple of other articles from Reason and came to a couple of conclusions. First and foremost, they need to change the name of that magazine or rag, you pick. There's no reason in Reason. Beyond that, I have come to the conclusion that my description of libertarians mentioned above is wrong. Now I believe that "Libertarians are Democrats who want you to smoke pot."  You don't need to thank me for that clarification.

Every day we learn more about why Biden pardoned Liz Cheney, Benny Thompson and the other liars on the January 6 committee. I can't wait for Dr. Fauci's next appearance before Congress. Frankly, Trump needs to tell Hegseth to save some room at Guantanamo for the Fauci and Friends show contestants.  

To the reader who didn't like yesterday's mention of Joe Biden making Depends commercials: Thanks.

Wednesday Wondering and Wandering

 I saw a news report that Sen. Mitch McConnell had fallen as he exited the Senate chamber today. My wife tired of sending out a press release every time that I fell, so we just wait for people to ask. At my doctor, they always ask "have you fallen lately?" My answer is always, "Yes.". The follow-up question is always, "How long ago was that?" My response is always the same, "What time is it now?" One would think that they would have stopped asking by now. Maybe not.

Yesterday, I made my monthly visit to The Lexington Farmers and Flea Market in scenic Lexington, NC. The pundits who claim that all of the illegals in the country would go into hiding when Trump took office have not been to Lexington.

Some website is claiming that Barack Obama and Jennifer Anniston are having an affair. I'm confused; I thought that Jennifer Anniston was a woman.

On my ride home, I passed several billboards telling me how great a job the Public Schools are doing. I can only assume that there no laws prohibiting false statements on billboards. If you have to tell us what a great job you are doing, you aren't really doing a good job. Couple this with the billboards telling us to pay teachers more money and you have a complete break from reality.

The Department of Education began operations in May 1980. After 45 years, standardized test scores are nearing, if not already at an all-time low. They are spending $240 billion a year and kids still can't read, write, add or subtract. Multiplication is out of the question except for some female students who start multiplying at 14 or 15. Standardized test scores are dropping faster than Bill Clinton's pants at the sight of an intern. Cursive writing is a code for the elderly and simple math is for people who can't find the math app on their phones. Let's send the Department of History into the history books.

Apparently, Dr, Fauci didn't have a discussion with the teachers' unions before shutting down the schools during Covid. That time is when watching their children learn "remotely" taught parents that their kids didn't know shit, and that their teachers didn't care.

I have never quite understood the phrase, "He didn't know whether to shit or go blind.". But every time you see a Democrat complaining about whatever Trump has just done, that expression comes to mind. Dims are lost as the executive orders just keep rolling out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Trump has done more, answered more reporters' questions and held more press conference than Biden can remember doing. Schumer doesn't know whether to shit or go blind. Given that Chuck the Schmuck wears his glasses at the end of his nose, he may already be going blind. Somebody needs to direct Chucky to an ophthalmologist with a working knowledge of bifocals.

A news release from the Creative Artists Agency yesterday, announced that they are representing former President Joe Biden. I guess that this is a new way to shelter that income from China. I will give it about 48 hours before he appears in his first Depends television commercial. He will be seen standing by his Corvette. Joe will say, "This Vette is faster than shit, but I am not, so I wear Depends. You should, too." Now, if they can find something to clean the stains that Hunter leaves in the Vette?

A few days ago, I was talking to a guy who worked for me back in the 1980's. I told him that I would send him a link to this blog. He told me that he would just look it up on Google. I told him that my blog had been banned from search results on Google. He was impressed. "He said, "Wow! I have never known anyone banned from Google." He does now!!

Monday Morning Meanness

 Can we trade the Brothers Vindman to Ukraine for a good cabbage recipe? They have to be worth something, don't they?

The Super Bore is next Sunday. Will Taylor Swift be there? Does anyone with more than a room temperature IQ actually care? I know that I won't watch if she isn't there. Of course, I am not going to watch if she is there. I am just not going to watch at all.

Just when you think that the Democrats can't do anything that is more stupid than running Kamala for President, you realize that there really is a God. And I can assure you that God has a sense of humor. The Democrats have announced that David Hogg is the new Vice-Chairman of the Democratic Party. I can only assume that neither George Costanza nor Kramer was available.

How bad are things at Democratic headquarters when someone runs in and screams, "David Hogg says that he will do it"? Is there a Kamala Harris Venn diagram that can illustrate that selection process? Other than a pulse, what were the job standards? Was Hogg the only Democrat under forty who could read cursive? Does he like "big yellow school busses?" Do Venn diagrams quicken his pulse? Did they have to hire someone who had been at a school shooting? Was he the only Democrat left with English listed as his native tongue? 

I watched a couple of minutes of an interview with James Carville today. I don't think that the Louisiana Loon can survive another Democratic Presidential candidate.

Have there been any Biden sightings since the afternoon of January 20? Is he home organizing those secret documents he stole while in the Senate? Or does Jill have him sleeping in the Corvette in the garage? It's probably easier to get the crap smell out of the car seats.

The Democraps, who didn't hold Joe Biden responsible for anything in the last four years, are blaming Trump for an airplane crash that happened ten days after Trump took office. Reagan National Airport is the only place in Washington where you can catch a liberal praying.

Memo to Dims: If you keep screaming, "I can't believe that Trump said that!", he's going to keep saying that. Have you not seen the videos from the first term.? 

My Beloved and I attended the 26th Annual Civil War Symposium at Longwood University on Saturday. We spent the breaks between speakers trying to decide who among the attendees were the FBI agents. It was like watching an old Dick Tracy movie and waiting for the G-man to talk into his smart watch.

I watched some schmuck on the news talk about Trump trying to destroy the FBI. He claims that FBI agents were just following orders when they violated everyone's civil rights. Just for the record guys, at Nuremburg almost eighty years ago, we decided that was not a defense. Seriously!!

While illegal immigrants and fentanyl flooded the nation, the FBI was making sure that no one was praying outside an abortion clinic, parents weren't speaking at school board meetings and Catholics weren't following their beliefs. FBI leadership should be compelled to write "freedom" and "priorities" ten thousand times each. Yes, it has to be in cursive!

I am tired of media sources describing former FBI director Chris Wray as a "lifelong Republican". That's has all the weight and credibility of calling Jill Biden, "Dr. Biden." 

I am not a meteorologist, and I don't play one on television. However, it seems to be somewhat colder this year than the last couple of years. Before blaming Trump for the colder weather, we should take the time to thank Trump for causing the end of all those pictures of Joe and Jill at the beach. I am trying to place a few bets on when the pictures of Hunter and Dr. Biden at the beach start appearing. Cue the background music for Mrs. Robinson at the Delaware shore.

Snark, Crackle, Pop!

 It's fun to watch a real press briefing or press conference from the White House now. It's not hard to tell who is in charge at those events. It's obvious that the chick with the Jiffy Pop hair has gone back to her job at the Popeye's drive-through.

I cleaned up my computer a little today. I emptied my "inbox". There were 4624 unread messages. That wasn't even a personal record. I once waited until there were over 15,000 unread messages. The computer made an audible sound as it erased the last of those. I couldn't decide if it sounded more like a belch or a fart.

Jessica, the token Communist on The Five, is so far to the left that I can't believe that Judge Jeanine hasn't kicked her ass yet.

The NFL is holding the Pro Bowl games this week featuring a mix of stupid contests. It will be capped on Sunday by a seven-on-seven flag football game. Somebody needs to put this dog down! Wait! Tell the NFL to invite Kristi Noem to Sunday's game. She will know what to do with this dog.

I haven't heard anything from Biden in the last eleven days. What's the appropriate amount of time to wait before announcing that he is actually dead?

On a more serious note, it is time to reduce the traffic at Reagan Airport in Washington, DC. The members of Congress will have to learn how to fly out of Baltimore or Dulles. Next, we need to end the use of military helicopters as taxis for government officials. Maybe if they could spend time in traffic jams and worrying about getting carjacked, they would be open to some improvements in the District of Columbia. Not to mention all of the money we would save on helicopter operations.

My wife's late brother was a helicopter guy. He started in the Army with Hueys and moved up to Chinooks. After leaving the Army, he worked for Lockheed in Saudi Arabia and then Kawasaki Helicopter. He told me that I didn't have the patience to fly a helicopter. I told him that while I appreciated his opinion, I wasn't leaving the ground in one of those things anyway.

I am in the process of testing my memory this week. I was cleaning out my files and found a bunch of pictures from my Casa Gallardo days in Greensboro.  I have about thirty pictures, and I am trying to remember some names to go with them. Those pictures date to the 1983-1985 era. I can write anything I want about those folks here. Those who can read aren't reading this swill.

Back at Casa Gallardo, I have a sign that was on the wall outside of the entrance and listed the operating hours. They have a Facebook page for that restaurant, but no one has posted in about two years. I won't bother sharing a picture. I can get ignored here, I don't need to go out.

It's the heart of college basketball season. I can't use enough profanity to tell you how little I care about basketball. "March Madness" is exactly that. I am mad because college basketball is all that is on the local news. Even at my age, there is life without a dribble.

Let's face it! The amount of athletic ability required for a guy who is almost seven feet tall to cram a basketball through a hoop set at ten feet high is about zero. If you want to see some real talent in basketball, let's move the basket to twelve feet high and the three point line to mid-court. Yeah, and let's start calling "traveling" again. I can't bear to watch the ball getting a full body massage as someone takes it down the court. These guys aren't just palming the ball, they are working on massage techniques as they stroll down the court. There have been a couple of times that I watched and expected the ball to light up a cigarette after a walk down the court.

I hope that Kamala Harris runs for Governor in 2026 in California. They deserve her. Old Kameltoe might be enough to kick California into the Republican fold. They could use the tax cut. Maybe we could get those fires put out?

One would think that a nation powerful enough to lead the world could find something better to do than watch the Super Bowl. 

Years ago, at work, we were talking about the Super Bowl that was going to be played that evening. One young man said, " I only watch the Super Bowl to see the commercials." I looked at him and said, "Aren't you the guy who subscribes to Playboy just to read the articles?" It's been twenty years and he's probably still trying to figure that out.

The divorce rumors are getting stronger. Is Big Mike leaving Barack for another woman? Or is he leaving her for another man? Inquiring minds want to know. The rest of us don't care.
