Friday Morning Free Throw Festival
In Missouri, State Representative Antony Ealy was reelected on Tuesday and was arrested on Wednesday morning for assault and for disturbing the peace. Nobody knows how to celebrate like a Democrat? I see Congress in his future.
Chuck "The Schmuck" Schumer announced that the Democrats aren't going to allow Trump to "ram through right-wingers" for federal judges. Here's a friendly piece of advice for Chuck. You too, will have to stand for re-election to your position of Majority Leader. There are rumblings of change among your Communist followers. Don't turn your back on your fellow Dim and your neighborhood Muslim, Senator-elect El-Sayed.
"Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public" should be inscribed over the entrance to the US Capitol.
Americans who are bitching about the price of gasoline and diesel fuel and complaining about the war with Iran need to get a world map. The world is a much smaller place than they think.
Americans who are complaining about gas prices should move to California-stan. They import most of their gasoline from other countries rather than build refineries. And yet no one in the "news" media ever talks about this?
I remember when "they" told us that we would all be better informed and more knowledgeable as we gained easier and more access to the Internet. I am not going to link this week's election results to that because that whole theory of increased voter intelligence went down the shitter years ago when Biden was elected.
Having spent more than fifty years in the restaurant business, I am NOT at all surprised by the election results on Tuesday. One of my recurring themes for the last twenty-one years on this blog has been the celebration of human stupidity. Tuesday's results only confirm my beliefs about the rapidly declining ability of people to think for themselves. "I love Stupid People" is an oft repeated topic on this blog. Nothing happened Tuesday that will change that.
The "Democratic Socialist" won the mayor's race in Los Angeles in a spirited contest between the two most incompetent and non-productive women in American politics. After this months-long battle for the mayor's job, the winning side has decided to rename the city Volgograd.
DC District Court judge Tanya Chutkan's latest decision is just more evidence for the case to end lifetime appointments for federal judges. This woman hates Donald Trump like teenagers hate reading a book.
Why is the President the only federal official who is constitutionally term limited? Why not senators and representatives? Why not federal judges? Why is only one branch of the three limited? Let's face it! When representatives, senators and judges are dying in office, it's time for a change. They instituted presidential term limits after FDR was elected four times and died suddenly in office. What's the body count on the Congress and federal judges?
Here's my closing thought about elections and it comes from Richard Nixon. After losing to Kennedy in the 1960 Presidential election, Nixon went back home to California. In 1962, he ran against Pat Brown for the governor's job in California. On election night, as they were watching the results come in and Nixon was losing, one of his aides tried to console him. He told him that there were still lots of ballots to be counted and that they could catch up in the count. Nixon looked at him and said, "The people have spoken. Fuck them!" He took the next six years off from politics.
