Sunday Evening Weekend Wrap-up

 Leftists are all pretending to be enraged by Trump's comments about the death of Bob Mueller. I think that almost no one would be able to praise a guy who tried to put you in jail. In America, we have all watched Trump's comments on almost everything for the last fifty years. Who in the hell is surprised by his comments on Mueller? I actually thought that they were a little bit of an understatement. The media should be grateful that Jack Smith or Letitia James didn't die.

How about Forbes magazine appraising Mar-A-Lago at $560 million? Who's going to break the news to Judge Engoron? he and Letitia were only about $530 million off the estimate. Just one more body blow to the concept of New York justice. New Yorkers are the people who have spent the last 150 years complaining about justice in the South. Maybe they meant the South Bronx.

I think the odds are rising that New York City will survive the Mamdani years. Even the Communists are hedging their bets on moving to the Big Commie Apple. Dallas is trying to help NYC by constructing a business district called "Y'all Street". Keep your bags packed, Zohran!!

I think that the colleges and universities use the NCAA basketball tournament as a way to get rid of coaches.  This is the time of year when small schools sneak up on large schools and end coaching jobs. Who knew that High Point University and Saint Louis University had high level basketball programs? I live near High Point and I didn't know. Of course, knowing that would require that I watch the sports part of the local news. No, thanks!!

Trump is planning on putting ICE agents at airports to help TSA agents who aren't getting paid. Many in Congress disapprove of this. Does Congress not want the travel lines to move quickly or are they afraid that ICE may spot an illegal? Don't worry guys!!The illegals are the guys cleaning the planes. Everybody getting ready to board a plane understands that whole "You need ID" rule. Look at the bright side, guys!! Congress can see for themselves that married women are actually able to get a photo ID!!

Now all that we need is for the airlines to announce which member of Congress is on each flight so that voters and constituents can engage with them in conversation on the flight. Wouldn't that be interesting?

The Senate passed on Friday a bill outlawing the special treatment that members of Congress have been getting at airport check-in lines. It's time for that assembly of schmucks to see what the rest of America has to do and tolerate. 

ICE needs to be told that anyone with a "D" after their name is a potential terrorist. Give them the body cavity search. On second thought, some of those guys might enjoy that.

Yesterday, I set up at the 311 Flea Market or Little Mexico, as we call it at the Jones house. I saw one of the first signs of spring in North Carolina. There were eight vendors within the sound of my voice selling yard care equipment. If you were shopping for a used trimmer, chainsaw, tiller or mower, this was the place. Anyway, the suspected illegal next to me had several chainsaws that he was selling. I heard him trying to start one chainsaw and looked over at him. I instantly thought that he was about to die. He pulled the starter rope with his right hand while swinging the saw to the left with his other hand. It was a technique that I do not recall seeing in the last 72 years. He kept repeating this motion as I looked away, pulled out my phone and got ready to hit "Send" for 911. Finally, another Hispanic guy came over. He took the saw away from the potential suicide candidate and placed it on the ground and tried to show the illegal how to stay alive. If I see a story about a guy dying while trying to start a chainsaw, I will know who it is.

My favorite flea market story which will last for years is this. Three young guys, probably in their early twenties, came up to my space. I had a tray of cheap pocketknives that were all priced at $3. One guy, ignoring the "Knives $3 each" sign, asked, "How much are the knives?". With my usual chipper disposition, I responded "Just like the sign says, $3". He said, "I will give you $2."  I replied, "No, I am not interested in selling them for $2". He pulled out his wallet and said, "I only have $2. I will give you $2 today and give you the other dollar next week." I looked around to see if there was a television camera somewhere and there wasn't. So, I said, "Give me the $2 and I will mail you the knife next week." He instantly said, "I am not going to do that!" I responded, "Neither am I. Give me the $3 or move on down the row." He pulled out the $3 and left with the knife. I guess that at his age, I might have thought that I was smarter than old people, too. He won't tell a soul what happened, but his buddies were pulling out their phones as they all walked away.

 

Stupid Restaurant Stunts??

 A few days ago, Governor Sarah Sanders of Arkansas was asked to leave The Croissanterie in Little rock because her presence was making the staff feel "uncomfortable". The story exploded on the news yesterday. Having spent more than fifty years of my life in the restaurant business, I am fascinated by the story.

It takes a special breed of dumbass to tell the governor of their state that they need to leave your restaurant. What the hell were they thinking? If, in fact they were actually thinking. 

Many years ago, US Senator Kay Hagan and a group of four or five other people came into Tex & Shirley's Restaurant at Friendly Center in Greensboro.  A waiter came back to the office and told me that Sen. Hagan was in the dining room. I walked out there and looked at the group. I nodded my head and said "okay" and walked back to the office to finish what I was doing. We didn't tell Senator Hagan to leave because I thought that she was some kind of leftist demon and would terrify the staff. I doubt that I or anyone on the staff could have picked Hagan out of a police lineup. It turned out that a customer who knew her actually told us who she was. We served the leftist demon anyway. We stayed out of the news.

There's an old story about someone asking Michael Jordan asking why he didn't endorse political candidates. He responded by saying, "The other party's people buy tennis shoes too." There's everything that the morons at The Croissanterie need to know. 

It's tough enough to make a living in the restaurant business without telling half of the population that you don't want their business. Do the schmucks at The Croissanterie think that conservatives are going to eat at their place while wondering when they will be asked to leave?

I checked the Facebook page for The Croissanterie yesterday and found a post talking about what great employees they have. If this is true, then it must be the ownership and management who are the morons. On what planet, do you tell the governor of your state that they need to leave because they make your employees feel uncomfortable?

If the presence of the governor makes you uncomfortable, wait until the health inspector shows up today. How about the fire marshal or the building inspector? Are you up for a sales tax audit? Have you heard of the IRS? You better pray that the person writing restaurant reviews for the newspaper is a liberal.

I am not a health inspector, nor do I play one on television. However, I have taken the ServSafe food handling course several times and had several perfect scores on the test. So, I will make some foodservice professional observations. Having blown my own horn on this issue, let's move on.

The picture on The Croissanterie Facebook post from a couple of days ago, is not one that I would have posted. Especially not with the massive attention coming from the national media. In the picture, one food handler is not wearing gloves. There is another food handler with a beard who is not wearing a beard guard to keep his whiskers out of your food. The most distressing safe food handling violation is the rack filled with sheet pans full of raw bacon on parchment paper waiting to be cooked. Raw meat MUST be held at a temperature of 40 degrees or lower, you can't store it at room temperature. It's dumb enough to ask the governor to leave your business, don't expose them to food poisoning on the way out. The alternative life stylers at The Croissanterie better be praying that Sanders didn't order anything with bacon.

Final point, we like to call the restaurant business the "Hospitality Business". The folks at The Croissanterie need to get the message!

Hail Cesar??

 Leftists, liberals and loons across the nation are racing to remove any evidence that they have spent the last forty years or so worshipping a sexual pervert, Cesar Chavez. A five-year investigation by the New York Times revealed that Chavez had sexually assaulted Delores Huerta, who worked with him as an organizer of the farm labor movement.

My favorite comment of the day came from Governor Gruesome Newsome who said that he is still "processing the news" and has not decided whether or not California will cancel the upcoming Cesar Chavez holiday. As that holiday is scheduled for March 31, Gavin Gruesome needs to "process" that information a little faster.

In addition to his rape of Delores Huerta, there are also allegations that Chavez assaulted young girls. In their story yesterday, the New York Times reported that Chavez had "groomed" and assaulted young girls who worked in the labor movement. I guess that means that Chavez picked more than melons.

All of the conservative media sites are running pictures of the bust of Chavez that Joe Biden put near his desk in the Oval Office when he first became President. Apparently, both of them enjoyed the company of young girls. Are there any pictures of Cesar sniffing the hair of young girls?

I wonder where that bust of Chavez is now. Will it be in the Biden Presidential Library? Maybe it is in the Biden garage in the back seat of the Corvette. Upon further review, Hunter probably sold it to help pay legal bills. 

With the upcoming March 31 Cesar Chavez birthday holiday, Democratic mayors and governors are working at warp speed to cancel or change the holiday and the "celebrations". Let's be honest, this is a disaster in many liberal states where this is an election year. Of course, like five o'clock, it's always election year somewhere. Thanks to Jimmy Buffet for that line!!

I have written a few times about the "your gods have feet of clay" concept. This is just another case of people worshipping someone who was a mere mortal. What will be the next tragedy for liberals? Will we find Obama's actual birth certificate? Will Monica Lewinsky start doing mouthwash commercials? Will Kamala Harris join AA? Will Michelle Obama identify the sperm donor for her children?

I wrote a couple of years ago in a post titled, interestingly enough, "Your Gods have Feet of Clay". If you didn't read that, here's a link. Random Moments of Lunacy: Your gods have feet of clay

That post was about Martin Luther King. There is ample evidence that MLK had some of the same issues that Chavez is being accused of having done. But as MLK has a godlike status among liberals in America, nobody talks about it. Maybe if the New York Times spent five years investigating Martin Luther King's story, we could lose that federal holiday in January? 

In 2027, the rest of the MLK files are scheduled to be released. Maybe we will get the truth at last. Your gods have feet of clay!

Adios Cesar!!!

The Wit and Wisdom of Wednesday

 Chief Justice Roberts is warning against personal attacks on judges.  He might want to warn judges about personal attacks on Donald Trump. Roberts said that impeaching judges is not the answer. Sorry John, but impeachment is the only available answer. Who wants to live in a nation run by unelected judges who are not held responsible for their actions? Roberts may want to call in Judges Bozo Boasberg and Tonya Slutkan from the DC Circuit for a conference about Trump.

The percentage of Jesus's twelve disciples who didn't make the grade is higher than the percentage of federal judges who have been impeached and removed. What's wrong with that picture?

If you are questioning my above statement, here are a few facts. There have been 4351 appointments as federal judges. There have been 15 impeached and of those 8 were convicted and removed. That means that while one out of twelve disciples failed and was removed, only one of every 544 judges fails and is removed. 

We could end a lot of these problems with judges, representatives and senators by simply eliminating pensions. Why are we rewarding people for a lifetime spent making our lives miserable? Isn't it bad enough that we are sitting quietly as people like Clinton, Biden and Obama all entered the White House as paupers and left as multi-millionaires? Compare any of their homes now to where Harry Truman lived after his presidency ended.

As TSA employees are not showing up for work and quitting in droves, Democratic Senators are asking their staff members to research why TSA employees won't show up when they are not getting paid. Yes, Senators have connections to the real world that are more than a little tenuous.

It is painfully (for some) obvious that our NATO allies are like Facebook friends. If you don't understand this, the next time that you have a flat tire, post it on Facebook. See who gets there first, the Facebook friend or the truck driver just trying to help someone. 

Our NATO allies and others "allies" like Japan, all get more of their oil shipped through the Strait of Hormuz than we do. So naturally, none of them want to help us keep the strait open for oil shipments. Screw them! When the lights go out in Europe, China and Japan, they will figure out what they need to do.

If Trump won't take us out of NATO, I won't vote for him for President again. If you don't get the humor there, get out your pocket copy of the Constitution. Or put up a "Trump 2028" sign and wait for your Democrat neighbors to explain it to you.

Here's my weekly plea to bring democracy to the United States Senate and end the filibuster. While they are at it, end the "blue slip" system on nominees for judges and US Attorneys. The idea that the United States Senate is some kind model system of democracy is more than 230 years out of date. 

We are closing in on the 170th anniversary of Sen. Charles Sumner of Massachusetts being beaten with a cane by Rep. Preston Brooks on the floor of the Senate. If Rep. Brooks ever returns to life on the floor of the Senate; can someone please direct him to Senator Thom Tillis's seat?

In starting to write the previous item, I could not remember Senator Sumner's first name, so I looked it up. The AI summary that popped up said that Sumner suffered from head trauma and PTSD. I believe the "head injuries", but to claim that he suffered from PTSD 170 years later, strikes me as something that doesn't meet the threshold for "facts".  Yes, AI has the same bias as all of the other research tools.

Don't get me wrong!! I don't think that all of the incompetent people are federal officials. The sheriff in Arizona handling the Nancy Guthrie case is setting a new standard for incompetence. How long before he wins a seat in the Senate??

Tuesday Topics, Taunts, and Tantrums

 If John Wilkes Booth comes back from the dead, somebody needs to give him directions to Thom Tillis's office.

I am not saying that Virginia Governor Abigail Spam-burger is a real leftist piece of shit but, somewhere right now, George Washington is telling Martha, "Don't tell anyone that we are from Virginia,"

Judge Bozo Boasberg keeps getting assigned to handle cases involving President Donald Trump. The DC District Court claims that judges are assigned cases through a lottery system. There are two possibilities in this circumstance. The first is that the DC District Court is lying. The other is that they are not lying and Boasberg is actually winning the lottery. If the second is the case, Boasberg needs to quit his job and start playing Powerball and Mega Millions for a living.  He could win enough to retire in the space of a week, and the Trump Administration would then actually be allowed to exercise their constitutional responsibilities without some leftist, schmuck judge trying to stop them. We elected Trump, no one voted for Bozo Boasberg.

Michigan has the largest concentration of Arabs in the country. I saw a press conference this morning where some of their state leaders were expressing shock about the recent attack on a Jewish synagogue in Michigan. On what planet are these folks living? Their Attorney General tried to place some of the blame on ICE for using federal resources to remove illegal immigrants. She thought they should all be fighting anti-Semitism. I was more than a little confused by some of her statements, so I looked up some data on her. I found this: "In her private practice, she was lead attorney for the plaintiffs in DeBoer v. Snyder, a precursor to the landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which codified same-sex marriage and granted adoption rights to same-sex couples nationwide. A graduate of the University of Michigan and Wayne State University Law School, AG Nessel lives in Southeast Michigan with her wife, Alanna Maguire, and their twin sons." Yeah, now it all makes sense.

Government officials are surprised when a synagogue is attacked in the state with the highest concentration of Muslims in the United States. WOW!! There's a bumper crop of dumbasses. Those people may actually be too stupid to hold office.

Talking politics with someone at the flea market on Saturday, he said that he believed that Thom Tillis was leaving the US Senate to come home to North Carolina and run for Governor in 2028. I responded, "That son of a bitch better be running as a Democrat if he wants to get any votes."

Two-Faced Thom Tillis announced that he opposes the SAVE Act. That can only mean one thing! Yeah, he is going to run as a Democrat. 

There is an upcoming referendum in Virginia about new Congressional redistricting/gerrymandering. Dims are complaining that Republicans are distorting the facts by publishing Gov. Spam-burger's earlier comments on gerrymandering. She opposed it until she was elected as Governor. Virginians elected a "moderate" who was actually a "moderate Communist". Who can be surprised? Spam-burger makes Tim Walz look like a person with principles. Virginians would have to have elected Kamala Harris as governor to do any worse.

Reflections on Elections?

 We voted a couple of weeks ago in the North Carolina primary elections. In what was probably the most expensive primary contest in the state, State Senator Phil Berger ran against Rockingham Sheriff Sam Page who wants Berger's Senate seat. As of this morning's scrawling of this screed, Page leads Berger by 23 votes. Yes, this message is for those folks who think that their vote doesn't count.

Here's something that will surprise almost no one; I don't like either one of them. Page was elected Sheriff in 1998, and Berger was elected to the State Senate in 2000. So, from my perspective, they have both served for too long already. 

Berger has served as the President of the State Senate since Republicans took the majority in 2011. Since he is in his 26th year in office, Berger is someone who I believe should have moved on from his office a long time ago. As the State Senate Districts are in what seems to be an endless state of flux, I have voted for Berger a couple of times. I think.

Page has been sheriff longer than Berger has been a state senator, so if you are guessing that I believe he should have moved on years ago, you are correct. I don't actually live in Rockingham County, so I have never voted for Page, but I still think that he has been in that job too long.

What do I know about their job performance? Sam Page can't run a jail, and Phil Berger can't pass a budget. Other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the theater?

I realize that this may be damn near heresy in this age, but I don't believe that elected office should be a career field. If you are motivated to public service, serve a couple of terms and get the hell out. We aren't going to get new viewpoints and solutions to old problems with the same old faces every year. If you don't believe me, look at the US Senate and the House. We keep fishing the same pond in every election and throwing back some to run again later. Let's find a new pond or restock the old one.

Sam Page did not have anywhere near the money spent on his campaign that Berger did. Rest assured that neither candidate could even see the high road from where they were running. I frankly think that the abundance of negative advertising may have cost Berger the election. Everyone's favorite station is WII-FM. That is "What's In It For Me"? People want to know how their lives will improve if they vote for you. Hell, I already thought that Sam Page was unfit to run a jail, I don't need a reminder every four minutes on television. Likewise, I don't need to be told about Berger's failures, I have lived through them. If you are running for political office, give me a realistic view of how you will improve my life or the state of the government.

Is there good news in all of this? Yes! First, I don't live in that Senate District, so neither clown will represent me. Second, this means that someone else will get the chance to be the President of the NC State Senate. Maybe they can get more done. And there will certainly being a fresh face running that Rockingham County jail. There's no way to go but up!

Berger is almost certainly going to ask for a recount this week. In counting the provisional ballots, two were discarded because the voters died before Election Day. Another was actually allowed because while the voter died before Election Day, it was just the day before and his family didn't have time to notify the elections board. How many die and don't tell us? This is just another nail in the coffin for "early voting". 

If you are one of those folks who say, "My one vote won't make a difference", you are in the process of being proven wrong. 

Does Gov. Spam-burger blow?

 Somebody ought to sue Gov. Abigail Spam-burger of Virginia for fraud based on her campaign claims of being a "moderate". 

The grammar junkie in me has risen to the surface and I want to point out that Spam-burger used "moderate" as a noun when she actually should have used it as an adjective. What she should have said was "I am a moderate Communist" or "I am a moderate Socialist" or "I am a moderate Dimocrat". But unfortunately, all of those statements mean the same thing. Complete honesty would have required that she should have said, "I will be a moderate dictator."

Inspired by Governor Spam-burger's threats to pass more gun laws, a convicted felon shot and killed an ROTC instructor yesterday at Old Dominion University in Norfolk. Unfortunately for the liberals who support him, he was subdued and killed by a group of students, including at least one with a pocketknife.

 Look for Governor Spam-burger to move to outlaw or regulate pocketknives today. It's part of her leftist, lunatic strategy to only allow criminals to be armed.

As Governor Spam-burger also wants to outlaw gas-powered leaf blowers, I can only assume that somewhere in Virginia, some poor, unsuspecting liberal Virginian was robbed or accosted by a random desperado armed only with a Stihl BR 700 backpack gas-powered blower. Oh, the humanity! Governor Spam-burger is only trying to make Virginia safe for unblown leaves. 

My sources in Virginia tell me that the Virginia State Police detail charged with protecting Governor Spam-burger has created a 500-foot radius area around the Governor which is declared to be a "gas-powered blower" free zone. 

 I don't believe that the Virginia State Police actually understand the situation as there have been reports of several people being searched for gas-powered blowers at public appearances of Spam-burger. The head of Governor Spam-burger's security detail, Sergeant Dudley Do-right, was interviewed by an RMOL correspondent about these searches. Do-right refused to confirm or deny that troopers were frisking people looking for gas powered blowers. However, Do-right did accidentally disclose that the security detail's codename for Governor Spam-burger is "airhead". Do-right insisted that this codename has nothing to do with gas-powered blowers.

The owner of The Mower Store in Ridgeway, Virginia told RMOL that gas-powered blowers are flying off the shelves as people stock up for the next four years of mowing grass and dealing with fallen leaves. He even expects a black market to develop for gas-powered blowers. I think that he's running a Spam-burger Special right now on gas-powered blowers. 

At the nearby Rural King, an anonymous employee said that the gas blowers were flying off the shelf like toilet tissue during COVID. Don't get caught with your pants down again. Get a gas-powered blower today!! Tell them that Governor Spam-burger sent you.

Thom Tillis, Won't you please shut up???

 Yeah, sing that to the tune of "Bill Bailey, won't you please come home?"

Since announcing that he will not be seeking re-election, Thom has been unable to shut his mouth. Like a bottomless barrel of bullshit, the swill and lies have just poured from Thom's mouth. Do us all in North Carolina a favor Thom. Just Shut Up!!!

Isn't it bad enough that North Carolinians will be forced to listen to Roy Cooper's lies every day for the next eight months as he runs for the US Senate seat that Two-Faced Thom Tillis is leaving? Can't we get any kind of a break here?

The fact that Cooper is running on his record as Governor and Attorney-General gives Republicans an opening that they should drive a truck through. What the hell are they waiting for? 

Thom Tillis should join Bruce Springsteen on his upcoming "No Brains, No Pains" themed concert tour. Tickets to hear Springsteen whine about Donald Trump start at around $200. I am pretty sure that tickets that range from $200 to $3000 pretty much destroys that whole "Springsteen is for the working man" image. But to be honest, I have always disliked Springsteen. His politics just give me a better reason.

Democrats are keeping DHS shut down just to protect their voter base. Dims also oppose the SAVE Act. If you oppose Voter ID, you support cheating in elections. There is no discussion needed. 

The number of adult Americans without a legal ID is miniscule. If you are from Minnesota, "miniscule" means a really small number.

If any major news show wanted to end all of these stupid liberal claims about people not being able to get IDs, I have their solution. Put a camera guy and a reporter outside of a liquor store. Offer $20 to anyone who can produce a legal ID on live television. They will run out of $20 bills before they find someone without an ID. If you can get an ID to drink, you can get an ID to vote. You will probably need that ID to drink after you vote.

Meanwhile, Democrats need to produce a real, live, married woman who is unable to get an ID. If they can find one, my wife has agreed to show her how to get an ID. 

On a personal note, I was adopted as a child. I have never had a problem getting an ID. It must be only Democrats that can't get IDs. Oh wait!! I forgot about the illegal immigrants who are the Democratic Party base.

Somalis in Minnesota are suing to keep Trump from ending their Temporary Protected Status. What part of "Temporary" do the Somalis not understand?? But to be honest, I wasn't aware that the federal government understands "temporary" either. They pass "temporary" taxes that last forever. Federal excise taxes on tires come to mind. I am reminded that the government built "temporary" buildings on the National Mall in Washington during World Wars I and II that Richard Nixon finally had torn down in 1970. 

If you don't believe my comment about those DC buildings, here's a link to a site called "Ghosts of DC".  Temporary Structures Reshape Washington's Monumental Core

Justifying the blog name?

 Sen. John Thune is causing me to redefine "pussy". It is time for John and the alleged Republicans in the Senate to end the filibuster and pass some meaningful legislation. While they are feeling their oats or whatever Senators call them, how about some term limits legislation for the House and Senate members?

John Thune needs to grow a pair or borrow Michelle Obama's balls and pass the Save Act. Screw the filibuster! Let's make elections fair and legal. If New York City wants to elect a Communist as their mayor, that's okay. It's not okay for federal offices.

If Chuck Schumer was a dog, we would be having that painful talk about euthanasia right now. The new glasses that actually fit were not enough to make Chuck useful.

Rand Paul reminds me that my description of Libertarians as "Republicans who want to smoke pot", might need a little work.

I think that we might need to go back to literacy tests for voters. This isn't a racist move. I simply hold the intelligence of the average voter in complete contempt. My dog, Cassie, is smarter than the average voter in California, Oregon, or Washington.

If they had shown the credits after the broadcast of the Jesse Jackson funeral service, I am sure that P.T. Barnum was the Executive Producer of that three-ring clown show. It was less a funeral than a gathering of Presidential candidates past and present to test their most insane claims and stories. They started the service at 11:00 AM in the hope that Kameltoe Harris would still be sober at that hour. They needed a better plan. Hell, they were lucky that Joe Biden was possibly even awake that early in the day. 

It was reported that before the Jesse Jackson funeral, Joe Biden beat out Tim Walz as the token idiot white guy to appear at the funeral.  It was reported that Walz claimed that he knew all of the words to the songs that Jesse, Michael, Stonewall and the other Jackson brothers sang on their albums. Biden just claimed that he had met them at that black church in Delaware that he attended after going to Mass at the Catholic church on Sunday morning on his way to fight Corn Pop at the public pool. Biden won the top performance prize when he told the crowd that he was "smarter than most of you". Dr. Jill just groaned and mumbled, "I knew that I should have just stayed home with Hunter."

Bill Clinton was at the Jackson Jubilation, but he doesn't count as a real white guy. Bill didn't count as the token white guy since he acts even blacker than Barack Obama. Of course, that isn't hard as Obama didn't have a lot of black guys as role models when he was growing up in Indonesia.

If you required your employees to come to work despite the fact that you aren't paying them, the federal government would shut your business down for violating labor laws. Yet right now, most DHS employees are not being paid and are required to work. Let's start a new concept where the federal government actually complies with the laws that it passes. 

As long as we are doing that, let's start having Senators and Representatives start recording their time spent actually on the job. Shaking down people for donations and votes does not meet the standard for "work".

Finally, in just a few months, we will be celebrating our nation's 250th birthday. I think that we are getting pretty close to the average age of empires. 

As I write this, they are reporting that the FBI is raiding Epstein's ranch in New Mexico. He's only been dead seven years. Isn't this a little late?

I'm T.O.T.T.S.

 No. it doesn't have anything to do with kids. What does "I'm T.O.T.T.S." mean. It means that "I am Tired of Thom Tillis's Shit"! I have heard all that I can stand from Two-faced Thom!

For the last several weeks, Thom has been complaining about Kristi Noem. Today Trump announced that she was moving to a different job and that he will name Markwayne Mullin to head DHS. Let me give you a pointer, Thom. If you talk to Markwayne Mullin like you talked to Kristi Noem, Mullin will take your ass outside for an attitude adjustment session. 

In the election of 2020, I couldn't bring myself to vote for Two-faced Thom, I voted for the Constitution Party candidate instead. I think that his name was Hays.  I am famous for being the "other guy" who voted for him in my county. 

Democrats and Tillis are idiots. When Trump nominated Matt Gaetz for the Attorney-General position, anyone watching television news would have surmised that the world as we know it was about to end. Not realizing that Trump views every activity in life as a negotiation, Democrats and Tillis Republicans were relieved when Trump nominated Pam Bondi instead of Gaetz. Of course, those same "returds" are beating their heads against the wall trying to deal with Bondi. If they had been as smart as they think they are, they would have settled for Gaetz. Gaetz is a pussycat compared to Bondi. 

It's the same story with Kristi Noem. Trump is probably a little surprised that she has lasted this long. So, now he is sending Markwayne Mullin to run the Department of Homeland Security. If you are in Congress and think that you want to tangle with Mullin, take some advice from Braindead Biden. "Don't" It's just not going to end well for you.

I am tired of idiot Democrats and Tillis Republicans saying that they are worried about "an endless war with Iran". Wake the hell up, you bumbling band of "returds". We have been at war with Iran since 1979. That was probably before Tillis started that combover hairstyle. Hell, it's been so long that I might have had hair when that war started. We have been at war with Iran 47 years, but Democrats only notice in the years that Republicans hold the Oval Office. 

Obama tried to buy a peace agreement by flying a plane full of gold, cash and other valuables to Iran in the middle of the night. Obama claimed that he wasn't hiding anything, it was just a coincidence that the flight left in the middle of the night. 

Biden kept the Iranians at bay by constantly threatening to send Jill over there. Jill would have been the first President to visit Tehran since Jimmy Carter.

If Trump wants to end the Iran war today, here's a simple strategy. Load up a couple of C-17s with thousands of the Obamas' latest books and drop them over Tehran. Those who won't be laughing their asses off or fall asleep, will be begging us to stop the punishment. 

I'm thinking of starting one of those countdown things to track the departure from Congress of Two-Faced Thom.

 

Somewhere in America?

Somewhere in America, there is a school for ventriloquists training people to shove their hands up Democrats' asses and make them all say the exact same thing. Yesterday's phrase was "a war of choice".

Somewhere in America, some ventriloquist is asking, "Can somebody else make Hakeem Jeffries talk today?"

Somewhere in America, there are scores of ventriloquists asking, "Can't I just make a dog or pig say that?"

Somewhere in America, some party planner is trying to scale back on that Jasmine Crockett for US Senate victory party.

Somewhere in America, a political advisor is trying to figure out how to tell Kamala Harris that it's never too early to drop out of the 2028 race.

Somewhere in America, someone other than just me is telling his wife, "If you see me turning the television to put on that March Madness NCAA tournament crap, just go ahead and shoot me!"

Somewhere in America, people who are all working remotely are trying to figure out how to cheat on their "brackets" for the above-mentioned tournament.

Somewhere in America, a tailor is measuring US Secretary of State Marco Rubio for his new Shah of Iran uniform. (Crown optional)

Somewhere in America, a Washington Post employee is pleading insanity for their obituary about the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. The flash words may have been "bushy white beard and an easy smile." I can't find their story about the death of Adolf Hitler, but I am sure that they complimented his mustache and his sharply executed goosestepping.

Somewhere in America, Democratic pollsters are telling their Senators that this idea to keep the Department of Homeland Security unfunded is about to blow up in their faces. News Flash for Dims!! If they (DHS) have to cut airline flights by 50%, nobody will be blaming Republicans. Trust me schmucks, nobody other than Congressional Dims will blame this on Republicans.

Somewhere in America, there's a group of guys talking about the Israeli air attack on the Iranian leadership. The most popular question is, "Couldn't they have just blown them all up with a text message instead like they did in Lebanon?"

 

This, That and The Other Thing

Since sometime in the 1960's, I have watched as hearing aid makers worked to make their products smaller and less noticeable. All of that money and effort was in vain as today half of the American population walks around with shit stuck in their ears that you notice from across the street. The idiots of the smartphone nation walk around with their "buds" in their ears and their iPhone god in their hand. They get robbed or hit by cars because they can't hear anything because of the earbuds or they aren't paying attention to anything but their iPhone worship service. Get off the phone and check out the world!! Pay attention! It doesn't cost anything.

Last week when New York City was looking for people to shovel snow, they were requiring applicants to have two (2) forms of ID. They also wanted applicants to provide two (2) photos measuring 1 1/4" square. Apparently, these photos were needed for the ID card they were going to provide snow removal workers. They certainly did not want to take a chance on an unpaid worker showing up to shovel your snow.

I have a Leto High School Class of 1971 reunion this year that it is tentatively scheduled for the first weekend of October in Tampa. They have not actually finalized the date at this time. I have a conflict with that since I have already purchased tickets to see the Bellamy Brothers in concert that weekend, fifteen miles from my home. What a dilemma! Do I drive 700 miles to see a bunch of folks who never contact me, or do I see the Bellamy Brothers who have never called me either? If I find that a couple of people who I was friends with at school will be there, I might go. Otherwise, it's dinner with my wife, the Bellamy Brothers' concert and a fifteen-minute drive home. I can probably save about a thousand dollars with that plan. This is not exactly the definition of "on the horns of a dilemma".

Tuesday, March 3 is primary election day in North Carolina. I will be delighted as that will end the Phil Berger- Sam Page for the NC State Senate seat. You can't turn on a television set or drive down the street in this area with \out seeing a sign or hearing an ad. Democrats hate Phil Berger so badly that they are quietly funding Sam Page's campaign. 

The primary for the US Senate seat currently held by the useless Thom Tillis is also this Tuesday. Former Governor Roy Cooper is the favorite to win the Democratic Party nomination. Many in the news media here have already anointed King Cooper as our next US Senator. I have one word for those people, "COVID". Roy Cooper kept North Carolina in a "state of emergency" for 888 days for COVID. There aren't many state laws that Roy Cooper failed to break in his two terms as Governor and four terms as Attorney General. It hasn't been long enough for people to forget what he did.

The North Carolina State Constitution states this: During the absence of the Governor from the State, or during the physical or mental incapacity of the Governor to perform the duties of his office, the Lieutenant Governor shall be Acting Governor. During his eight years as Governor, Cooper left the state on scores of occasions, he NEVER notified the Lt. Governor that he was out of the state. At the start of COVID, he left the state to fly to Tampa for a fundraiser for his campaign for his second term. Apparently, there aren't enough people in North Carolina interested in funding his campaign, so he had to raise money elsewhere. The video of him going up the back stairs of a hotel in Tampa and his press secretary trying to block a camera's view of him was on the local news before Roy got back from Florida.

The North Carolina State Highway Patrol covered for Roy on his travels. Asked if they had transported Cooper to the airport, they would only disclose how far that they had transported him. An actual "reporter" drove from the Governor's Mansion to the airport and measured the distance. To the dismay of King Cooper, the world figured the rest of it out.

King Cooper would not allow Ace Speedway to hold a stock car race, but then he marched in a Black Lives Matter protest with his mask hanging off the side of his face. (See photo below) Churches had to go to court to be allowed to hold a church service with more than ten people. Cooper's Dr. Fauci, Mandy Cohen, advised Cooper on all of these absurd COVID decisions. She went on to head up the Center for Disease Control under President Jill Biden. I'm sorry, but I just don't trust doctors who have never actually practiced medicine.

In 2016 in North Carolina, Cooper ran for governor and Josh Stein ran for Attorney-General. Stein's biggest campaign issue was that he was going to reduce the backlog of rape kits being tested here in North Carolina. What Stein never said and what no "reporter" ever asked or mentioned, was that the backlog of rape kit testing happened under Cooper's leadership of the NCDOJ. Why has no one in the news media ever mentioned that?  Maybe, it is the same reason that no one said anything about this picture of Roy at the BLM protest.

Assorted Sunday Shots and Satire

The Ayatollah Khamenei of Iran has apparently assumed room temperature. A neighbor claims on Facebook that the Ayatollah's pronouns are "was" and "were".

Rather than support President Donald Trump's actions, many Democrats are now supporting the continued existence of the terrorist regime in Iran. Who knew that all of those COVID vaccines would have those kinds of side effects?

Tim Kaine and Mark Kelly should get some serious mental health counseling. It's been ten years and Kaine still can't get over him and Hilla the Hun losing to Trump in the presidential election. Kelly evidently experienced some kind of brain damage during his time in space. Let's start requiring mental competency tests for members of Congress. That will result in lots of new faces in Congress.

There are things in life that will never make sense. My beloved and I were in Virginia last week and visited a local bookshop. They had a great selection of new and old books, old magazines and some assorted collectibles. The owner was wearing a T-shirt that read, "Antifa, Fighting Fascism since 1941." Did I mention that they had several Nazi figurines for sale? Call me confused!

At Colonial Williamsburg, we attended a couple of presentations by a Colonial Williamsburg "Nation Builder".  That is Colonial Williamsburg's term for portrayals of important people of the past. One was Patrick Henry and the other was George Wyeth. They were both great! They each spoke for about 45 minutes and even took a few questions afterwards. 

Apparently, all of the renovation and remodeling at the score of hotels in the Williamsburg area takes place in the winter. We stayed at a Comfort Suites that was having work done, but they did all of their work while we were away from the hotel during the day. 

Hillary Clinton's claims about Jeffery Epstein are challenged by the fact that Ghislaine Maxwell attended their daughter Chelsea's wedding in 2010. About Epstein, she testified, "I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein." That's not the same as saying that she never met Epstein.

Governor Spamburger of the newly created People's Republic of Virginia is setting a course that will guarantee that it will be many years before another Democrat is elected Governor of Virginia. When "gas powered leaf blowers" is on your Top Ten list of things to worry about, you have officially gone over the edge of the liberal cliff.

With the Department of Homeland Security still not funded, the Democrats in Congress are preparing to start work on a War Powers Resolution Act bill. PRIORITIES?? Just for the record, Trump can veto a War Powers resolution.

Democrats are continuing to prove that the old adage "They don't know whether to shit or go blind!" was an accurate description of their party. You know that they are in trouble when John Fetterman is the sanest guy in the party.

Finally, as my granddaughter's Christmas gift for the next three years, we got up early on Friday morning in Williamsburg and drove to the Sam's Club in Newport News. There, I waited outside in line for an hour to purchase the newest Pokémon collection that was only available at Sam's. There was a limit of two per person, so I went ahead and purchased two. I have checked online selling prices, and I can cover what I spent on the two by selling the one I have left. It was an interesting time as there were several young military members waiting in line with me. These guys had worked all night and then came to Sam's to wait in line for Pokémon cards. After a few minutes of them trying to explain Pokémon to me, we ended up with a discussion of old cars. Finally, something that I understood.

P.S. Sam's Club did a great job with the Pokémon thing sale. I was #23 in line and once they opened at 8:00 it went quickly. They had several people keeping things moving. I got my two packs pf Pokémon, paid for them and was back in the car at 8:12. A little more than an hour's worth of waiting to get a couple of days of free yard work out of my granddaughter. What a deal!!
