I got you 25th Amendment hanging right here!!

 The Democratic Party is sounding the alarm about Donald Trump and his mental fitness. They want to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove him from office.

I can only assume that all of those dumbass Democrats were asleep for the four years that Sleepy Joe Biden was in office. When Special Counsel Robert Hur decided that he would not prosecute Joe Biden for his handling of secret documents, Hur described Joe Biden as a "sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory". He noted that a jury would likely view him, similarly, making a conviction difficult to secure.

There's a reason why we have seen the transcripts of Hur's interviews of Biden, but they won't let anybody listen to the tapes. If we ever get to hear the tapes, the jig is up for the Dims. The long gaps between incoherent thoughts will prove that I am right and Democrats are serial liars.

Just for the record, "the elderly man with the poor memory" was the guy with the nuclear launch codes. I don't recall any Dims mentioning that fact.

Joe Biden couldn't find his way off a stage when he was through not speaking coherently. If the Secret Service had not taken action, he would still be on that stage at North Carolina A&T from his trip here three years ago. If not for the Easter Bunny corralling Joe at the White House Easter Egg Roll, Joe would still be out on the South Lawn at the White House wondering who decided to rebuild the East Wing.

Five will get you ten that when the new ballroom is through, Biden will try to take credit for it.

I still believe that it was Joe who shit on the White House carpet and blamed his poor dog, Major. Jill should have kept Major at the White House and shipped Joe back to Delaware. That might have left room for Hunter.

Trump stops and takes questions for hours. Joe would only answer questions from selected reporters who had submitted their questions for approval. Yet Trump is the mentally incompetent guy?

Let's question the Democrats and have them explain what makes them think that Trump is failing mentally. Other than he is ridiculing them constantly.

Let's have a committee examine all of the videos and see how many questions Trump has answered compared to Brain Dead Biden.

Democrats get upset when someone mentions the C-Word in describing their problems. If you guessed that the C-word is "credibility", I will let it pass for today. On second thought, the Dims surrendered every last scrap of credibility when they constantly denied that anything was wrong with Biden. Sorry guys but have already proved that judging a President's mental competence is not your area of expertise. 

We all saw Biden live at that debate in Atlanta. You didn't need to be a medical doctor to see that Biden was struggling. Apparently, no one with a (D) behind their name watched the debate. Dr.(?) Jill was so excited by his performance that she praised him like a child being toilet trained. 

"Joe, you answered all of the questions." was hardly a ringing endorsement of his performance. Maybe, if he had answered all of the questions with coherent responses? I guess that Jill considered an evening out where Joe didn't shit his pants to be a good one.

Obviously, the Democrats who claim that Trump needs to be removed for being mentally unfit are living in some kind of parallel universe. Hey guys! How about just shutting up until you sober up? STFU?

"How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents"??

 The title of this post is also the title of the new book by Sen. Thom Tillis. One would think that Tillis would have waited until after he left the Senate to write this "tell nothing" spellbinder. That Senator "Shit for Brains" appeared on MSNOW to talk about his book tells me everything that I need to know about it.

Tillis should have titled it "How to lose Voters and antagonize Presidents". He decided not to run again in 2026 after realizing that he didn't have a snowball's chance of winning again.

I don't understand how Tillis can claim that he lost friends, I can't believe that he had any to lose. The only reason that Tillis won re-election in 2020 was that Democratic candidate Cal Cunningham was a bigger scumbag than Thom. That election was a "lesser of two evils" choice for voters. 

I don't want you to think that I just started hating Tillis recently. Here's an excerpt from a post here in 2022. " I saw that Thom Tillis, the North Carolina Idiot-in-Residence, is proposing a "pathway to citizenship" for the Million Man Mexican Mob that has invaded our country since the communists installed Joe Biden in the White House. Liberals long to change the name of that building to the People of Color House. They will probably start with some "street art" on the front walls. But back to Thom Two Face and his "pathway to citizenship". Thom, write this down! There is already a "pathway to citizenship"!! The people who he is trying to help have chosen to ignore that pathway and try to force themselves on us instead. "

I am not a recent convert to the Church of We Hate Thom. I have communicated with his office several times but have never received a reply. Color me stunned!!

Tiny Thom should have considered another title for his collection of crap that some publisher is trying to pass off as a book.. He doesn't have any friends left to lose. Let me break it to you Thom, if I tell you that voters hate you, you can take that to the bank. I am not a Johnny come lately in the gentle art of offending and/or annoying people and I'm telling you that your time is up. Don't even think of coming back here to run for governor or county commissioner! Everybody in North Carolina has caught their limit of Thom Tillis. 

Final shot; You aren't a bluegrass banjo player or anything, so ditch the little string ties. Ernie Lee at WTVT in Tampa used to wear that kind of tie in the 1960's and 1970's. He played a guitar for a living, you don't. As unpopular as you are, it's probably not a good idea to put something that looks like a rope that close to your neck. 

Dear Virginia, (Virginia Foxx)

 Dear Virginia,

First, I am not writing about the existence of Santa Claus. I am writing concerning the existence of an even more mythical figure, the United States Postal Service. As I believe that the use of the word "Service" is questionable, so I will just call it the "Post Office".

Yesterday, I wrote a post for my blog, Random Moments of Lunacy, about my recent experience at the Post Office in Ruffin, NC. I thought that it was a great piece of work, but you are free to make your own decision. I have attached a copy.

After writing it, I attempted to send it to you by e-mail. I went to your official Congressional website and attempted to do that. Your system would not allow me to contact you because I do not live in your district. Imagine my confusion. The Ruffin Post Office is the one assigned to my address, but through the magic of constant redistricting, I live in a different congressional district. So, this system requires that I contact my congressional representative to deal with a problem outside of his district. I believe that the current trendy expression would be "Make this make sense!"

I spent my working life in the restaurant business. If I go to the McDonalds in Reidsville, which is in your district and have an issue, they don't tell me to contact the McDonalds in Yanceyville, in Brad Knott's district. I realize that good service and the government rarely share the same time/space continuum, but I am writing to you anyway. If it makes you feel any better, I am also writing Rep. Brad Knott about this even though the Ruffin Post Office is not in his district.

I live about one mile from the Rockingham County line, which is where your district starts or ends, you pick. What I find most interesting in this whole thing is that the letter that I found in the trash can at the Ruffin Post Office was sent to a person with a PO Box address at that Post Office. Does your system try to determine whether his actual physical address is in your district?  Or does his zip code +4 at the Post Office Box allow him to contact you?  I am just curious about how this works.

Since the low-cost e-mail won't work, I will return to Ruffin and send this through the Postal Service.

Thanks for allowing me to burn up some staffer's time to read this.

Sometimes, they just write themselves?

 Sometimes, I have to think for a while about what to moan and groan about in this space. But once in a while, they just write themselves. Today's post is one of those.

Last week, I was mailing something to my brother, who never mails me anything. Sorry, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to complain. I decided to go to the Ruffin post office, which is the closest to our house. I knew that the counter was only open from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, so we drove up there and arrived at about 12:55 PM. I waited until 1:00 PM and went inside. The counter area was closed.

I waited a couple of minutes and then went outside to let my wife know that I was waiting for them to open. I went back inside and started reading the usual notices on the wall while I waited for the service counter to open. There was a trash can beside the counter in the lobby where the PO Boxes were. I looked at the trash can and realized that it was full. On the top of the pile of trash was a letter from a member of Congress to a constituent.

The letter was from Rep. Virginia Foxx to a local man who had complained about the poor service being provided by the Post Office. I was reading this letter in the lobby of a Post Office that was scheduled to open at 1:00 PM and it was 1:09 PM and it was not open. WOW!! This was like a gift from God for a blogger. I folded the letter and put it into my pocket. 

I looked outside and there was a car backing into a parking space out front. A woman got out and walked across the parking lot. She was wearing shorts that were way too short to be considered proper office attire at any business that doesn't include tipping dancers. She was carrying a couple of items, one of which was a bag from Panda Express. 

As she passed me to unlock the door to the sales lobby, I naturally made a remark about the Panda Express bag. I told her that I liked the Honey Sesame chicken. I can't remember what her favorite menu item was. She took my envelope and weighed it and announced the total. I paid her and headed out the door.

The sign on the door said that the Post Office was open from 1:00 PM until 5:00 PM. I didn't come back at 5:00 to see if they closed early or stayed open later to make up for being ten minutes late opening. 

The Post Office should open on time. Opening late proves to the tax paying public that they are correct, the Post Office just doesn't care about when you get your mail. In addition, we probably need a dress code for postal workers. Wearing too short shorts when you are working in an air-conditioned building is just not appropriate wear for a postal employee. Add the short shorts to being ten minutes late opening the counter and you have complete customer dissatisfaction.

I am going to go ahead and forward this post to Virginia Foxx. Here's the letter from Rep. Foxx that I found in the trash can.

Sunday Shorts

 Democrats are on an endless campaign complaining that Trump isn't releasing all of the Epstein information. They believe that he is hiding some connection between him and Epstein. If there were anything tying Trump to Epstein, wouldn't Jack Smith, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg or Phony Fani Willis have released it? Why didn't Joe Biden release it during his four years in office? Wait! Let me rephrase that last question. Why didn't Barack Obama release it during his third term through Acting President Jill Biden? Maybe Hillary is waiting for Bill to die to write her side of the story? It almost certainly involves her or Bill and young girls.

The Leto High Class of 1971 wrapped up their 55th year reunion last night and I remain alive. I knew that there would be no consequences for not attending. My beloved and I attended the Bellamy Brothers concert in Reidsville instead. It was about 679 miles closer than the reunion. Plus, I saved about $1000. Maybe I will make the 60th year reunion.

The NFL minor league (college) football season is in full operation. UNC lost to Notre Dame yesterday in a game that should have only surprised someone covered with Tar Heel tattoos. Bill Belichick should have just retired and enjoyed his time with his 22-year-old girlfriend instead of taking the Carolina job. 

There are rumors that some form of "professional" football is being attempted in Charlotte again this year. They may have already won one game this year. The bad news is that they have played more games than that. It doesn't bother me; I lived in Tampa when the Bucs started "playing".

Sen. Martha Blackburn of Tennessee is suing "Special Prosecutor" Jack Smith. She would have been better off slapping the bastard with a glove during his recent Senate appearance and challenging him to a duel.

New York AG Letitia James has criticized Cornell and the white men involved in her online posts. Now, she has a responsibility to conduct an impartial investigation. I was laughing so hard after I typed that I had to go get a drink of water and try to calm down. The girl who will be her main witness will be her worst witness. 

If it takes several weeks for you to decide that you were raped, you weren't. It didn't bother her until others started talking about it.

If Jane Doe claims that she made bad decisions because she was under the influence of drugs and alcohol, can't the frat boys claim the same thing?

The administration at Cornell needs to grow a pair or several pairs and stand up for fair treatment of their students. At what point do you have to notify the police before losing all credibility?  

Kathy (Frozen Face) Hochul and Letitia James need to realize that they have a responsibility to serve ALL of the people in New York, not just the females. So, for them to claim that the frat boys are guilty BEFORE even conducting an investigation, is both immoral and illegal. 

For years, Yankees ridiculed justice in the South. Memo to Yankees: Check a mirror! Clean up your own house!

Saturday Morning Confusion, If you think that you can sleep, it's an illusion

If you remember that line from "Saturday Morning Confusion" by Bobby Russell in 1971, this is my tribute to my high graduation class from Leto High School in 1971. I think that the song has aged far better than I have.

In Tampa, the Leto High School Class of 1971 is gathering tonight to relive and remember the "good old days". As I am unable to think of any good in those days, I am just staying home. Maybe in 2031? Probably not. I regard the three years at Leto High as the three worst years of my life. 

In my senior year in high school, I had the same teacher for an advanced physics class and an engineering concepts class. I finally stopped hating that guy a few years ago. He died. He actually lived about an hour's drive away from me here in North Carolina. I have friends and relatives who thought that this man was a great teacher. I thought that he was an arrogant, pompous prick. I guess that it is time to put that one behind me.

I was talking to someone about the class reunion last week and they said, "I didn't know that you went to school in Tampa Bay." I responded, "Tampa Bay is a body of water. I went to school in Tampa." Do I get extra credit in Geography or English for that snappy response?

Lindsay Clancy may not be insane, but her attorney Kevin Reddington is showing definite signs of dementia or stupidity, you pick. Recently in court, Reddington claimed that there is no evidence that she killed her three children. What planet is this clown doing time on? I may have to redefine "stupid" to list Reddington as an example.

Senator Thom Tillis demonstrated again this week why North Carolina Republicans hate him and want to bring back tarring and feathering. With Jack Smith on the stand, Tillis decided it would be a good time to criticize President Trump and his Justice Department. Tillis' picture is beside "useless piece of shit" in the English/Profanity dictionary.

Some woman complained in an online forum that at the Liberty Antiques Festival there were some vendors who would not accept "reasonable" offers on their items. I pointed out that offering someone 50% or less of what they are asking is hardly a reasonable offer. I suggested that she go to the food vendor selling the $10 funnel cakes and offer him $5. I told her to let me know about his response. At the next festival, I will watch for a woman with a funnel cake hanging out of her ass.

Memo to Muslim Morons: Be prepared for a fight when you try to highjack an airliner filled with Israelis. It's not going to be the easy job that you thought it would be.

The Justice Department needs to charge Jack Smith with attempting to overthrow the government with his unlawfully obtaining phone records of Representatives and Senators by not telling the judge to whom the records that he wanted belonged. The Congress needs to impeach Judge Bozo Boasberg for failing to ask. Smith and Boasberg need to spend some quality time in "jail therapy". Let's turn the case over to Sheriff Grady Judd to investigate. Maybe Trump should appoint Grady as the FBI Director?

Tuesday's Tawdry Taunts and Totally Tepid Topics

 I saw the opening few minutes of the US Senate hearing with Jack Smith Shitt this morning. I hung on for about thirty minutes to listen to Senator Chuck Grassley, Jack Shitt and Senator John Kennedy. Jack is an arrogant pompous ass in desperate need of some "jail therapy". 

If you have to ask, "Is it okay to do this?", it usually is not.

As a Senator, Joe Biden used to smuggle classified documents out of the SCIFs where they were discussed. Many of these were found when the FBI searched his Delaware home. Brain Dead Biden was not charged in this case, despite his possessing documents that he had no right to have. Meanwhile, Democratic assassin Jack Shitt raided Trump's home claiming that he possessed secret documents. Jerkoff Jack ignored the law that allowed Trump as President to declassify any documents that he wanted to keep.  Jack should go to jail for falsely accusing Trump of possessing "classified" documents. 

I would have watched a little more of the hearing but after about thirty seconds of watching Senator Chris Coons bury his face in Jack Shitt's ass, I had heard enough. Coons didn't just kiss Jack's ass; he licked it dry. Of course, that's just my opinion.

If you have to ask someone 'Am I late?", you are.

The Leto High School Class of 1971 will hold their 55th Year Reunion this Friday and Saturday. I will do my part for the local economy here by staying home. We are going to see the Bellamy Brothers in concert in historic Reidsville instead. Also, my tool collecting group has our quarterly meeting on Saturday morning. Depending on what I spend at the tool club meeting, I will save about a thousand bucks by staying home. Not to mention, I get to see the Bellamy Brothers.

I am hoping that Thom Tillis does not return home to North Carolina to run for Governor in 2028.  That will cause me to vote for the Libertarian candidate.

Many years ago, Thom Tillis sold his business to Price Waterhouse. As a Price Waterhouse partner, he could have made a million dollars a year. He gave that up to run for a state office that paid about twelve thousand dollars a year. What's wrong with that picture? Right there is everything you need to know about crooked politicians.

If you ask a cop;  "Was I speeding?", the answer is always "Yes."

I encountered my Moron of the Month at the Liberty Antique Festival on Saturday. Most of the events where I sell my assortment of fine collectibles follow a similar pattern. The first day is when all of the serious buyers are there. The following days are usually filled with people who want to ask stupid questions. Luckily for them, I have honed my sarcasm skills and am ready to answer any and all stupid questions.

I have a clear plastic "cookie barrel" that dates to the 1960's. It was used then to merchandise small packs of cookies for sale. I have never found a picture of one like it or a sales listing on the Internet. I can't even find anyone who has seen one before. It's priced at $100.  

Saturday afternoon, a guy comes up and asks about the cookie barrel. I told him everything that I know about it.  He whips out his phone and starts searching for the cookie barrel. He told me that it should sell for $35 to $45. He also tells me that they are plentiful. I asked him to show me that information on his phone. He refused. I pointed out that everyone else was having trouble getting a cell phone signal. He said that there was one for sale for $40. I told him to buy that one. He said that they were out of stock. I told him that if I didn't have one in stock to sell that I would price them at $20. He stormed away. 

This guy must not have heard what I tell other potential buyers. When someone makes a stupid offer or claim. I tell them all the same thing, "This ain't American Pickers. This shit is real."

How was your weekend?
