Random Rants and Reflections on the Reflecting Pool

I have visited the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC at least 12 times in my life. In all of those visits, I have never seen anyone attempting to check on the condition of the reflecting pool. I am amazed by the sudden surge of interest that leftists seem to have in the Reflecting Pool. I can only assume that if Trump had actually taken a shit in the Reflecting Pool, liberal activists would have already formed a DC Turd Patrol to find that evidence. Jack "Jerkoff" Smith is waiting for the call to serve as Special Prosecutor to investigate the cleanup at the Reflecting Pool.

Trump wants to clean up the Reflecting Pool and Democrats want it to remain a dirty, stagnant stinking pool of water. Is this a microcosm of our national condition?

If Democrats take the House in the coming election, they will vote to impeach Trump for trying to clean up Washington, DC. They want to keep it a crime-ridden ghetto. They can't afford for their voters to be in jail.

Only those on the left oppose making our capital city look better and a safer place to visit. We can safely assume that they don't want actual taxpayers and voters coming to town to see what they really are doing. They don't want us seeing the fruits of their labor or lack of labor.

Speaking for North Carolina residents across the political spectrum, Sen. Thom Tillis would make all of our lives a little better if he just got an emergency lobotomy.

Sen. Mitch McConnell's medical issues are making the case for term limits on members of Congress. That's while Sen. Thom Tillis conduct makes the case for a one-term limit. People should not keep running for office until they are actually dead. I will remind readers that voters have the power to impose term limits in every election. Vote the bastards out!!

In Chicago, they have decided to change the name of the Chicago River to the Volga as an acknowledgement of the Communist architecture at the Obama Presidential Center. Rumors that the Obama Presidential Center will change its name to Obama's Anti-Semite Center are said to be premature. They won't change anything before the 2028 elections.

Other rumors that the Obama family wants Chicago officials to change the city name to Volgograd are unconfirmed at this time. Obamagrad was considered but believed to be too obvious.

I saw where renowned investor Paul Pelosi was arrested after hitting a car and leaving the scene without calling the police. The good news is that there wasn't a crazy young guy in the car with Paul. Even better, he still had his pants on.

The Associated Press ran a headline on Saturday that read "Trump makes pointed political speech at Mount Rushmore". WOW!! Trump made a political speech at a place honoring four politicians. Who would have guessed? I guess that he could have just spoken about the history of Mount Rushmore, but that is also rooted in politics.

The Associated Press has abandoned their last shred of dignity and/or credibility. They have fallen into ranks with The Irish Star, MS NOW, Newsweek and those other bastions of journalistic integrity that litter the Internet.

This is like the National State Fair thing in Washington DC.  I think that eleven states refused to participate in it. They all make the same claim, that it is too political. Pardon me, but isn't elected officials deciding not to participate in something started by a President of a different party, a political decision? They are making it political and then claiming that they won't participate because it is too political. This is what a "liberal circle jerk" looks like in DC.

I am reluctant to criticize our North Carolina Governor and resident piece of shit, Josh Stein, but why not participate and tell the story of our state? I saw videos of the exhibits of several other states, and they didn't seem to have a political focus. If you are worried about it being too political, don't make it political. Maybe I am a little confused, was the Trump Administration requiring that state displays be political. Can you get a copy of those rules to me?

Happy Third of July

 Happy Third of July!! I wanted to get a jumpstart on the Fourth of July. 

I decided to decorate my front yard for the holiday. I have an M101 military trailer that was manufactured in 1953. That makes the trailer and I the same age, but the trailer may be in better shape. Anyway, I decided to decorate my trailer for the holiday.

Full disclosure notice: I write and swear better than I paint. So, I painted my M101 trailer in red, white and blue. That wasn't quite gaudy enough, so I salvaged three old letters from my collection of restaurant stuff and painted them to fit my holiday theme. I built a frame and mounted them.

Now, I am a guy who is looking for a Fourth of July parade looking for a gaudy military trailer to participate. Someone asked about my paint job. I told him that it was a 50/50 paint job. At 50 miles per hour and 50 feet away, it looks great!!

Here's your early viewing!!

The Supremes' Latest Hit??

 As demonstrated by the latest Supreme Court ruling, there is no word less understood by bureaucrats than "temporary". I had hair when many of the immigrants with Temporary Protected Status came to the United States. Now that the Supremes have ruled that "temporary" actually has meaning, the masses seek to take action to remain here where they all claim to feel threatened. I just don't understand. 

In online parlance, "digital creator" is the new "unemployed". Make no mistake about it, I am not a "digital creator". All I do in this space is transfer my scribblings from my spiral-bound data base (pocket notebook) to the computer for easier sharing. I am just curious. Apart from a pulse, what are the requirements to be a "digital creator"? My wife claims that the only digital creating that I do happens when I wave my middle finger at other motorists.

Liberals now want the United States to be the "Baby Daddy" to the world.

WOW!! The Supreme Court actually agreed that states have the right to limit women's sports to actual women. 

In his 91-page dissent on the Supreme Court ruling on the 14th Amendment, Clarence Thomas showed us why he should be the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court and why John Roberts should be hearing shoplifting cases in Chicago. I am not going to refer to the Supreme Court majority in the 14th Amendment case as something as crude as "Four Cunts and a Clown", but readers are left to their own imaginations.

There is no truth to the ugly rumor that I am holding a fundraising drive to buy the Chief Justice a pair of balls.

The 14th Amendment did not give birthright citizenship to American Indians or Native Americans (you pick). Congress finally did that in 1924. So, if it wasn't about birthright citizenship in 1868, why is about birthright citizenship in 2026? Because it is not about birthright citizenship, it is about Democratic voters. If the mobs in Minneapolis, LA, Chicago and New York City voted Republican, Chuck "the Schmuck" Schumer and the Dollar Tree Barack Obama (Hakeem Jeffries) would be loading those illegal asses onto the next bus to the border. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200. This is the only way that the Democratic Party can grow!

Let me just go ahead and lob a grenade on the fire here. I believe that there is a strong case to be made that the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments to the Constitution are all legally invalid. In 1869, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Texas v. White that the states that formed the Confederacy had never actually seceded from the Union as secession is constitutionally illegal. 

Just for the record, on the Federal government's following the law with "Reconstruction", the Supreme Court decided the Texas V. White case in 1869. The case was decided on April 12, 1869. By that point, seven states had already been "readmitted" to the Union. Despite the ruling that the states had never left the Union, the last four states were not "readmitted" until 1870. Let's have that conversation about whether or not Congress obeys the law. At that point, what they were doing had been ruled to be a violation of the Constitution by the US Supreme Court. It didn't even slow those Radical Republicans down.

As the southern states were not represented in the Congress that passed those amendments, were those amendments actually legally passed with the required majority? The US Constitution requires a 2/3 majority in both houses to pass constitutional amendments. Was this possible without the southern states voting in the affirmative?

The US federal government required southern states to ratify the three "Reconstruction Amendments" before they could be "readmitted". Why? If you can't legally leave, then you don't have to be "readmitted".  So, if they weren't in the Union, their votes didn't count. And if they were in the Union, you can't tell them how they have to vote. We are back to square one, were those amendments legally passed? If the 14th Amendment was not legally passed, it doesn't matter what the Supreme Court says that it means. If Congress passes a law without the required majority, it's not a law. Case closed.

Friday Free Throws

 Nobody hates America like a Democrat.

Is there anything more useless than a Federal District Court Judge?  Congress just needs to start impeaching 25 federal judges a day and sending them over to the Senate for trials. It's not like the US Senate is doing anything else right now. How long can it take to try a turd?

The Chief Justice has said that district court judges cannot and should not issue nationwide injunctions. That's like telling a junkie not to take another hit off the crack pipe. At least, the junkie would sneak it.

I am for ending the filibuster. Or we can keep the filibuster and just eliminate the Senate. Either one will work for me. The Republicans say that if we eliminate the filibuster, the Democrats are going to do terrible things when they are in power. So, tell me schmucks, what will keep the Dims from eliminating the filibuster when they are in power? What's the average working IQ in the US Senate? 

How about that Barack Obama Presidential Library building? He must have hired an old Soviet architect to design that building. That building looks like it should be on North Korea overlooking the DMZ. Of course, it would be safer to visit if it was in North Korea instead of Chicago.

How long before they have one of those "street takeovers" at the Obama Presidential Library? When will they report their first casualty? I might need to start a pool to pick the date. I probably shouldn't wait too long to do that.

There are basketball courts at the Obama Presidential Library. Sometimes, it's easier to just not say anything. I will wait until they start having food vendors out in the park before making any more comments.

The Obama Museum costs $30 to visit. You can visit the Lincoln Museum in Springfield, Illinois celebrating the guy who made it possible for Obama to become President for $15. Lincoln is credited with uniting the country. Obama did his best to divide the country. Of course, there isn't a big collection of designer dresses worn by Mary Todd Lincoln on display at the Lincoln Presidential Museum.

There's not a grilling area at the Lincoln Museum, nor a basketball court. There are actual books and papers to read. 

I saw an article about how all of the records of the Obama Presidency at the library are in digital format and not on paper. It doesn't matter; his followers don't/can't/won't read. Don't waste your time telling me that this offends you. I have worked with a lot of Obama followers.

It's amazing about how all of the liberal/leftists/Communists/Democrats are all screaming about how the federal government has no authority to regulate elections. They all are telling us that states run the elections. These are the same people who had the federal government take over running elections in the South in the 1960's. These are the same schmucks who hold the Voting Rights Act of 1965 as some form of eternal gospel.  It's always about whose ox is being gored.

Maybe it's time for Trump to propose the Voting Rights Act of 2026? That would be a great thing for an exhibit at the future Trump Library. You know that will be "yuge".

Random Moments and Miscellaneous Mentions

 Given the results of the New York elections the other day, there is a report that the borough of Manhattan is changing their name to Manhattangrad. 

In other news from Yankee land, here's another name change that's coming to New York City. Mamdani is removing President Ulysses S. Grant from his tomb and changing it to Lenin's Tomb. Negotiations are underway with Putin for New York City and Russia to share Lenin's body. Bernie Sanders can save a lot of his money if he doesn't have to go to Moscow to see his mentor.

Bernie Sanders is the guy who had one of the largest collections of Marx toys in the country. Then someone broke his heart by telling him that they weren't Karl Marx toys.

Mamdani is no longer the Mayor of New York. He is the First Secretary of the People's Republic of New York.

Representative Dan Goldman lost in his primary bid for reelection. When he was refused service in a coffee shop owned by a Jewish guy, he should have figured the rest out. This might raise the average IQ on the Democratic side of the aisle in Congress by several points

How about that DEI executive at JP Morgan getting fired for stealing a trash can during the Knicks victory celebration? She works for JP Morgan and can't afford a trash can. Really?? Let's face it. Anyone too stupid to understand that there are thousands of surveillance cameras in New York City needs to find a job more aligned with her intelligence level.

We have avoided another curse of a Kennedy. Jack Schlossberg, son of Caroline Kennedy, finished a distant third in the Democratic primary for New York's 12th Congressional District. He had about ten percent of the vote. Of course, he almost doubled the vote total of fifth place finisher George Conway. Conway is famous for being the loser ex-husband of Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway. Even i am amazed that two losers of that quality could end up running for the same position.

This contest is to fill the seat of retiring Representative Jerry Nadler. Memo to whoever wins this contest: Don't sit in Jerry's chair without having it steam-cleaned first.

Schlossberg might have been a more attractive candidate if he had ever held an actual job in his life. But he's only 33 years old.  That's about the average age that a real Kennedy graduates from a four-year college. 

Rand Paul has subpoenaed Dr. Anthony Fauci to appear before a Senate committee. Ticket sales should be at an all-time high for this event. This could be better than the UFC thing at the White House. Fauci has already been pardoned by the AutoPen. He has no legal basis to refuse to answer questions. Somebody needs to ask about that carpet scrap on his head.

Democrats are attacking Trump for (insert almost any words here) in the news today.

Democrats deny that anyone would vandalize the Reflecting Pool at the Lincoln Memorial. They are ignoring the "8647" in the grass on the National Mall. 

Senator Thom Tillis is criticizing DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro for wasting time prosecuting the people who damaged the Reflecting Pool. This is the same Thom Tillis who wanted anyone who walked onto the Capitol grounds on Jan 6, 2021, prosecuted and sent to prison.  

I am considering doing a telethon on July 4 to raise the money to have a surgeon find John Thune's balls. Apparently, they have been missing for a long time. The Republicans need to put his ass on the road and elect Rick Scott as majority leader.

Jimmy Kimmel is having Rosie O'Donnell fill in for him for one of the weeks that he will be on vacation. I don't understand why he even made an announcement about this. Who can tell the difference between them?

Finally, I left this out of my post yesterday about Federal District Court Judge Eleanor Ross of Atlanta. If you haven't read it, do so. Could you keep your job if you were having sex with someone in your office in the middle of the day?  If your answer is yes, you are self-employed. Can you imagine pulling up to a drive through window and finding a couple of employees having sex over by the condiments? Do you interrupt them to ask for extra straws and napkins? Do you offer exact change, so that no one has to pause?

Judge Not or Not a Judge??

 Four words, Federal Judge Eleanor Ross. Ms. Ross is a federal district court judge in the Northern District of Georgia. She holds court in Atlanta. She was appointed by the well-known Communist Barack Obama in 2014.

Judge Ross has been in the news lately for her being punished by the court for having sex with an Atlanta deputy police chief in her chambers during business hours. She also attended a party held by Fani Willis, the famed Fulton County Fuck-Up DA. She yelled at and cursed her law clerks and other office workers on the job. She was not publicly identified at first by the courts.  This conduct took place over a span from 2023 to 2025. 

Her law clerks would talk about the music being played loudly in her chambers. They complained about the loud sounds of Judge Ross and her paramour, Deputy Atlanta Police Chief Kelley Collier during their encounters in her chambers. Apparently, at least one member of the couple is a moaner and/or screamer. Mr. Collier is reportedly being investigated by the Atlanta Police Department for his conduct. It seems that he was also on the taxpayers' time.

In an investigation of Judge Ross's nooners by the lead district judge and others, Judge Ross initially lied about the incidents. Let's go through this again. She had loud sex in her chambers during work hours with an Atlanta Deputy Chief. She lied to investigators about this. She also first claimed that these were false claims by a law clerk who she said didn't like her. Did I mention that she is actually married to a Georgia State Judge? How can this whacko broad be a federal district court judge? 

The question that I can't find anywhere in the news media is, "What the hell does a federal judge have to do to lose their job??" Apparently, her fellow judges who were charged with investigating and disciplining Judge Ross don't have an answer to that question. They just told her to write letters of apology to her law clerks and agree not to run for chief judge when eligible. Just for the record, I once fired a Waffle House manager for having sex with a waitress in the stockroom. So, a judge's chambers are not as honorable as a Waffle House stockroom? You're shitting me, right? A Waffle House manager has to meet a higher code of conduct than a federal district judge? Really? Who knew??

If Judge Ross's drive for justice was as strong as her desire for sex, we would have a hell of a judicial system. Instead, we have an Atlanta based federal judge who must recuse herself from any case involving the Atlanta Police Department because she was getting hosed in her chambers during lunch hour by a deputy chief. Not to mention that she was at a party for the District Attorney Phony Fani Willis. In that case, she tried to claim that she was in a separate room from the party. That was also a lie.

Pardon the pun, but going just a little bit deeper in this matter, did Ross handle any cases involving the Atlanta Police Department during the time Deputy Chief Collier was balling her in her chambers? Did she handle any cases involving the DA's office while she was supporting her campaign? Inquiring minds, and apparently there are few in the federal court system, want to know. If she did handle any such cases, there are lots of appeals on the way.

Reps. Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., and Clay Fuller, R-Ga. have both filed articles of impeachment against Eleanor Ross. The House needs to act on these and pass them through to the US Senate for trial. Let's get Democrats on record as to what conduct they find acceptable for federal judges. 

It's time to end lifetime terms for federal judges. This is a good place to start!!

Taco Tuesday Topics and Taunts

 I spent Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week selling my fine wares at the 301 Yard Sale in eastern North Carolina. I spent Sunday, which doubled as Father's Day, recovering from the heat and workload of the event.

First, yes, I sold a bunch of "stuff" at the 301 Yard Sale. What was the strangest thing that I sold at the yard sale? Two beer kegs that I had purchased on the Wednesday, the day before I headed over to Selma for the yard sale. The previous owner had already modified the two kegs and used them for some unknown purpose. In fact, one of the kegs was the first thing that I sold on Friday. It had been on the table for almost five minutes when some guy decided that he had to take it home. Yeah, that's the way to start the day.

We got off to a late start on Friday when the first rain that I had personally seen in several weeks delayed putting out my treasures and other assorted fine collectibles until almost 11:00 AM. The moment the rain stopped, the flood of buyers broke through. It was a little after noon before I had filled my tables with a veritable bonanza of bargains. Business or "bidness" (as some say in North Carolina) was good on Friday. That must have been because my older son was there to help me and to unload some of his backlog of treasures at the same time.   

Saturday, as I worked by myself, was the busiest day that I have ever experienced at the 301 Yard Sale.  The BS flowed from my space like water from a spring on Saturday. It must have worked because lots of fine collectibles left there as well in the custody of new owners.

It was hot on Saturday in Selma. The asphalt parking lot where I was setup was like a sauna, other than the distinct lack of naked women glistening in the hot sun. To be honest, I saw lots of people who I wished had been wearing more clothes than they were. That's just the way it goes.

What was the high/low point of the 301 Yard Sale for me? Thanks for asking. Sometime in the early afternoon on Saturday a young man and a guy who appeared to be his father entered my spaces. The young man was looking at a U.S. military poncho/shelter half that I had for sale. 

As the young man was looking all over the inside and outside of the poncho/shelter half, I pointed out that the item information was printed on a couple of places inside the item. He told me that he was looking for the DSA number on the item. I explained that not everything had a DSA number based on the age of the item. He told me that without the DSA number, the item was not authentic. I explained as calmly as possible that his claim was just crap. He and his father/associate walked away. 

A few seconds later, I heard him say "What is this?" He was at a clothing rack where I had several military uniforms displayed. I walked over to them and looked at the item about which he was asking. I told him, "That's a nurse's cape from a military hospital in the 1940's and 1950's." He asked, "How much is it?" "Forty dollars". He then loudly said, "That's a ridiculous price!" So, I asked "How much did you pay for the last one that you bought?" His associate laughed. He responded, "I have never bought one." Feeling that my head was about to explode from the combination of heat and human stupidity, I let the insults fall like rain. "You have never bought one of these. You have never sold one of these and until a minute ago, you didn't even know what this was. Now you are telling me that I am trying to sell it for too much. You don't know as much as you think that you do! You are just some punkass kid trying to show off to make up for his lack of actual knowledge. I have dealt with people like you all of my life. Get the hell out of my spaces!!" He and his associate departed at warp speed. It took a couple of minutes for my normal breathing pattern to resume. For public consumption of this post, I omitted several words from this account of my response. I may have even made references to his mother, his level of intelligence and the legitimacy of his birth. You are left to your own imagination.

The funniest part of this event was when I turned around and returned to my chair to sit down and breathe. There was a guy who buys from me regularly at different events and who I was speaking with before young Mr. Knowitall interrupted. He was standing there cussing his smartphone. He was laughing and told me, "I could not get my damn phone out of my pocket and get it recording before that nuclear blast of yours ended. That would have been You Tube gold!" We both laughed. 

The rest of the day was relatively calm. After dealing with an idiot like that, it's all downhill.

I am looking forward to next year at the 301 Yard Sale. You should plan now to attend. Check your camera to make sure it works.
