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!!

There's Snow IDs??

 Sometimes, this swill just writes itself and there is no creativity required. With New York City facing a blizzard, they are trying to hire people to shovel snow after the blizzard. The city of Zohran the Zero is requiring that applicants furnish two (2) IDs, two small pictures and a Social Security card to get paid to shovel snow for the city. Imagine the confusion among the jobseekers. They didn't have to produce any of those things to elect the mayor who is now requiring ID. How many married women will be unable to get paid for shoveling snow by this sexist and discriminatory practice?? How many poor minorities will be unable to work due to this remaining vestige of an apartheid city? I am taken aback by this level of discrimination by these Yankee retards. WOW!! I could barely get all of that out!!

Other than Barack Obama, name an American citizen who couldn't produce a birth certificate if their job depended on it.

The Dimocrats are claiming that twenty million American women might lose their vote because they changed their names when they got married. Apparently, this is another one of their "fantasy facts". My wife is married and registered to vote in a state that requires ID to vote. She was also able to get a passport despite her name change when she got married. She might be able to pick up some extra money as a consultant to dumbass liberal women who claim that they can't get an ID because they are married.

Just for the record, I was adopted at age nine and I have never had any problems getting an ID in more than the last sixty something years. Of course, I am not a liberal retard, either. 

It's another Trump State of the Union speech on Tuesday. It's another protest by braindead Democrats against him speaking. Maybe they just don't want to have to show their Congressional ID to be allowed on the floor of the House to hear the speech. Does the protest outside require ID? There's no ID required for them to stay home and shut up.

Just for the record, there are lots of liberal women in the US House of Representatives, and they have to present their Congressional ID every time that they vote. If it is such a problem, why haven't they changed that?

Here in The Old North State (North Carolina), early voting is in process for the March 3 primary. Former governor Roy Cooper's website posted a picture of him going to vote. His website removed that picture when several people pointed out that Cooper was presenting an ID to vote, a requirement that he claims is too difficult for some people to meet. Did Roy have to use some special gubernatorial power to get an ID? Did he need to present an ID to file to run for office? 

Is his wife, the same woman who flipped off a family at the State Capitol a few years ago, able to get an ID? She probably was able to get an ID despite being married to a guy who claims that this is a problem. For more on the compassionate Mrs. Cooper, see this old post, Random Moments of Lunacy: Kristin Cooper, Broad, bimbo, or bitch?

Is the higher unemployment rate among some ethnic and racial groups higher because they don't have the ID needed to fill out the employment forms? What government assistance programs do NOT require ID? Is drug usage higher among certain groups because illegal drug purchases usually don't require ID? Inquiring ID owners want to know!

If liberals had more than half a brain, they would abandon this anti-ID crusade. But they don't, so we are doomed to endless, mindless pleas to abandon ID requirements so that they can cheat in elections.

It has only taken a few weeks, but in Virginia now, being lied to is referred to as "being Spanbergered". And yet, oblivious to the public opinion, Democrats have selected Spanberger to deliver their response to the State of the Union speech. Democrats, redefining "slow learners' for the ages.

McCarthy vs Epstein

 All you really need to know about "The View" is that it is part of ABC News. They owe their jobs to Donald Trump. He's the only thing that keeps retards watching "The View". Every weekday at 11:00 AM ET, Barbara Walters rolls over in her grave at the sight of what the show she created has become 

Meanwhile, on The Five on Fox News Channel, Jessica Tarlov continues her one-woman campaign to prove that all of those racist and sexist remarks about Jewish women are actually true. I have solved that problem by switching to American Picker reruns if Jessica is on The Five.

Former Prince Andrew was arrested in England on Thursday. They believe that he transmitted confidential information and trade secrets to Epstein. I am not sure that Andrew is that smart.

If you guessed by now that I watched too much television news this week, you are correct. You can't turn on the television, the radio or the Internet without hearing about Jeffrey Epstein.

I think that Jeffrey Epstein was a a world class pervert who hurt a lot of people. Having said that, I am not sure that he killed himself. There are more unanswered questions about that than there are answered questions. The more times that the government assures us that Epstein killed himself, the fewer believers they have. Maybe we need to start over with that investigation.

What's the worst thing about the whole Jeffrey Epstein story? We have returned to the Joe McCarthy days of guilt by association. News sources and "leaders" are fighting to be the new Tail Gunner Joe McCarthy. Your name on a piece of paper with Epstein's name on it is the reputational kiss of death.

A lot of the Epstein material are things that have not actually been legally verified. We are talking about millions of documents. I am fascinated by the fact that when the government released a bunch of documents about Martin Luther King, people were screaming that not everything had been verified. When they released the same kind of documents about Epstein, the media is absolutely certain that they are nothing but facts.

People are having to quit their jobs because their names have been linked to Epstein. A lot of people had Epstein as their investment advisor. Who has ever asked their investment guy, "Do you like young girls?" To be honest, as long as they are doing well with their investments, does anyone care who their broker screws? Of course, that's as long as they aren't the ones being screwed.

Allow me to share my personal viewpoint on this issue. I spent more than fifty years in the restaurant business. I have interacted with thousands of employees over that time. I have also interacted with millions of customers. There were a bunch of folks in that crowd who had criminal records or were about to have criminal records. Working in Tampa, I had lots of customers who were reputed to be members of organized crime. I don't recall ever asking any customer for pointers on how to knock off a competitor.

NEWS FLASH!! Knowing a criminal does not make you a criminal. Bonus claim, knowing a college professor does not make you any smarter. However, Americans and particularly those in power are determined to prove that Sen. Joe McCarthy was right with his guilt by association argument. If we jail everyone who knows a criminal, the streets will be empty. If you want to tell me that the legal system is flawless, let's talk about Democratic Attorneys-General and their lust for Donald Trump.

Over a fifty-year period, I hired all classes of people to work for me. I hired people who were in prison and were on the work release program. There's a great benefit to that. The prison made sure that those guys were at work every day on time. I hired lots of people who had served time in prison or had criminal records. If we don't give those people an opportunity to succeed, they are going to fail and go back to committing crimes. If you don't want to give people a chance to change their lives, should we just go ahead and kill them after they finish their sentence? 

Yes, I have hired robbers, burglars, embezzlers, drug dealers, drug addicts, drunks, sex offenders and speeders. Hiring these people does not mean that I am one of them. It means that I needed employees and they needed a job. The most important thing is to make sure that their job function does not present an opportunity for them to return to the judicial system.  For example, you don't put an embezzler on the cash register. I wasn't on a mission to change society; I was on a mission to staff the restaurant. It's kind of like the old story about punishing adulterers. If we cut out all of their tongues, it's going to be a really quiet world.

Let's put guilt by association and Joe McCarthy back in the rear-view mirror.

ISO?

Sorry, but I am not In Search Of anything. Neither am I Seeking Out anything nor am I writing about the International Standardization Organization. In today's screed, the ISO stands for I'm So Old.

ISO that I remember when Bill Clinton was a "liberal" Democrat. Today, Monica's First President is considered to be almost a Republican by the nutjobs in the Democratic Party now.

ISO that I remember when "The Bearded Woman" was in the freak show at the Florida State Fair and not the Democratic mayor of some city in Oregon.

ISO that I remember when the Socialists weren't all multi-millionaires who built their wealth on their pay as a public official. Apparently, those folks really know how to save and invest!! 

ISO that I can remember when every boy over the age of five knew what a woman was and knew that he wasn't a woman. Bonus shot, I remember when a penis was a sure sign that you weren't a woman. Don't know whether you are a man or woman? Check your pants! 

ISO that if you said, "That woman has balls!" it was only a figure of speech.

ISO that I remember that the men's restroom in high school did not have a machine that dispensed feminine hygiene products. In the interest of full disclosure however, tampons can be used to stop a nosebleed. Of course, I don't think that Governor Tampon Tim Walz was thinking about nosebleeds when he had tampon dispensers installed in all of the boys' restrooms. On the plus side, that could give "No Balls Walz" a reason to be a little bitchy for a few days a month.

ISO that when I was in school and some guy said, "I am going to get a little pussy," it didn't mean that he was about to undergo some type of Frankenstein-inspired, life-altering surgery and a lifetime of expensive drugs.

ISO that when I was a kid, the Democrats went to war with the federal government to keep blacks out of public schools. Now they fight to limit the number of whites that they have to admit to public schools.

ISO that when I was a senior in high school in Florida, we had to take a class called Problems of American Democracy (PAD). You may have had to pass that class to graduate. There was a three-week segment of that class called "Americanism vs. Communism. I think that they have integrated that into a civics or government class now. 

ISO that I knew the minute that he opened his mouth at that NC legislative hearing, the sheriff of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina had failed civics in school. He is one of those CEFI hires, Can't Even Fake It.

ISO that when I was looking for a preschool for our kids, I would have never considered sending them to a "Learing Center". Of course, I would not live in Minneapolis, either. Who wants to live in a city where the patron saint is a drug using, unemployed, woman abusing criminal? St. George of Minneapolis, because there's nothing too absurd for Dims to believe in now. 

ISO that I remember the old Mary Tyler Moore television show where she worked for a local TV news show. set in Minneapolis. Ted Baxter was obviously the father of Tim Walz.

AOC, this one's for you!! ISO that I remember when we learned in history class that the Spanish explorers brought horses to the "New World". Yes, AOC, the Spanish were cowboys before Mexicans and blacks ever saw a horse in the New World. That was also before blacks even showed up in the "New World". 

Bonus shot for Congresswoman Commie-Cortes! ISO that when I was in geography class in the seventh grade, we learned that Venezuela was in the Northern Hemisphere. It is/was above the equator. If it has moved to below the equator, that whole "continental drift" theory has certainly gained credibility. AOC, get back to me on that! 

ISO that I have other things to do now. Make it a good day!!

Pontificating on President's Day

 When I was a kid, we had Washington's Birthday as a holiday. That was celebrated on February 22. In 1971, the federal government started celebrating it on the third Monday in February. This came as a result of the Congress passing the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. There were some states that celebrated Lincoln's birthday on February 12.  For those of us in the South, Robert E. Lee's birthday was January 19. Stonewall Jackson's birthday was January 21.

Although all of the advertising and most media sources refer to the holiday as President's Day, the federal government still calls it Washington's Birthday.

I don't believe in the entire concept of Monday holidays. If you think that this is a good idea, why don't we celebrate Thanksgiving on the third Monday in November?  Christmas on the third Monday in December? How about New Year's Day on the first Monday in January? Easter on the first Monday in April? The Fourth of July on the first Monday in July? More on that in a minute. Let's face it, we moved Memorial Day from May 30 to the last Monday in May. Is anything sacred? 

Many years ago, an employee asked me, "Why do we celebrate the Fourth Of July on July 4?" I just looked at her and kind of stared in disbelief. She said, "I am serious. I don't understand." So, I spent about five minutes explaining that the holiday is actually called Independence Day and then explained why it was celebrated on July 4. When her father picked her up that afternoon, he thanked me for explaining it to her. He told me that she had asked him that morning and he just laughed because he thought that she was joking. He said that he and his wife were considering moving her to a private school for her senior year. I told him that would probably be a good idea.

The Federal government doesn't call Washington's Birthday President's Day because they don't want to deal with public complaints about the holiday name. One of the most frequent complaints is that Martin Luther King has a holiday of his own and that forty-five Presidents share one day. This is simply not true. The fact is that forty-four Presidents get no recognition from the federal government.

The question that begs asking about MLK Day is, would there have been an MLK Day if there was never a President Abraham Lincoln? If not for Lincoln and 600,000 dead American soldiers, would slavery have ever ended? Personally, I don't believe that Lincoln went to war to free the slaves. He went to war to keep the Union together. That cause did not generate the level of support that Lincoln needed to continue the war. He decided to make the war about freeing the slaves to get more public support in the North. The Emancipation Proclamation took effect in 1863. The Civil War started in 1861. What's your explanation for the delay? 

Do we need to replace Martin Luther King Day with King-Lincoln Day? At least one of those two guys was a man who didn't abuse women, cheat on his wife and have problems with alcoholism. That will give you something to ponder while waiting for the government to release all of the King files. Just out of curiosity, why don't the Democrats in Congress push a bill requiring that all of the King files be released within thirty days like they did with Epstein?

Happy VD!!!

 Yes, it's Valentine's Day! What did you think it meant? Nobody under seventy uses terms like "VD" or "venereal disease" anyway. Now we call them "social diseases". "Social diseases" sounds like something you can pick up waiting in line at the Walmart from someone coughing or sneezing in front of you. Apparently, that may be the only thing not available at a lower price at Wally World. 

Based on news reports this morning, the Democrats in the Senate didn't shut down the DHS based on anything happening here. They shut it down so that they could all fly to Munich and participate in some kind of international conference. It purports to be a conference about international security that started in 1963. 

I think that the word "irony" is not understood by Democrats or our European acquaintances. These are people who have never even read a history book, much less actually studied the subject. So, what's the irony of a "security conference" in Munich?

Just for the record, Munich is where Adolf Hitler and his friends first tried to overthrow the government of Germany in 1923 but failed. This was followed by Hitler going to jail, where he wrote his best seller, Mein Kampf. I have heard that it still sells well at international conferences.

In 1938, Munich was the site of another conference where France and England agreed to let Germany take the Sudetenland, a part of Czechoslovakia, in exchange for a pledge of peace from Hitler. How did that Munich deal work out for us? Hell, the only thing worse than a deal coming out of Munich would be a deal coming out of Washington, DC!!

I saw the news early this morning and Queen AOC of the Democrats was in Munich along with the Clown Prince of California, Greasy Gavin Newsome. They were there telling their fellow Communists that Trump is Satan. Senator Slutkin is scheduled to speak there also. There are several other Biden-wannabes slated to make an appearance there. Today, Marco Rubio made what will probably be the only pro-democracy speech at the conference. 

With all of those Dimocrat politicians in attendance, there is a tremendous opportunity in this for Trump. With the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security due to the Senate's vote, the FAA needs to close our airspace to international flights until the DHS is fully funded.  Let those liberal leftist bastards take a boat back home from Munich.

How many people today will DIE from DEI?

Friday the 13th Thoughts

 Good news!! I don't worry about Friday the 13th any more than I worry about Thursday the 12th or Saturday the 14th.

Somedays I just wonder how long that it will take before the Democrats all just stupid themselves to death. There won't be any media coverage.

I saw Thom Tillis on the "news" yesterday and realized why I despise most, if not all politicians. I have already written him and explained why I think that he is a useless piece of shit, what more can I do?

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Thank God that I haven't waited until the last minute to buy my wife a card. I am going to the store right after I finish this.

I am completely fascinated by the television network news coverage of the case where Meta is being sued by a woman and her daughter claiming that META designed their system to be addictive. Hello? Has anyone looked into how addictive that television is? Have you heard of soap operas? Children's cartoon shows? Sports? Television folks calling social media "addictive" is surely the kettle calling the pot black.

How about that addiction that no one wants to talk about? The "smartphone" addiction is the top of any list of addictions. There are people who would rather lose their first-born child than lose their phone. People are walking down the street holding their smartphone like it is either some kind of electronic god or some kind of electronic divining rod leading them to water. People are worried about the Chinese hacking into our computer systems and then we have the Chinese make all of our smartphones. Does that make any sense at all?

I think that the kidnapping is a terrible offense and that those who kidnap others should be executed. I am sure that Nancy Guthrie is/was a fine woman. But would this event be getting all of this media coverage if her daughter wasn't a television new personality? Why do they keep searching her daughter Annie's house, which is four miles away from her home. She was apparently kidnapped at home, why keep searching Annie's house? It appears that Annie's husband has fallen off the face of the earth since the kidnapping. They still won't say who dropped Nancy off at her house on the night she was kidnapped? Questions are increasing faster than answers.

If some moron kidnaps me, will the FBI get involved?  I am not sure that my family would even report it.  On the plus side, I have learned more about Bitcoin than I will ever need to know this week.

I am not going to tell anyone how to do their job but, if I were the Sheriff of Pima County, I would not pick the week of a nationally televised manhunt in my county to take the evening off and go to a college basketball game. You can explain that forty ways to Sunday, it still looks like you are an idiot.

Getting ready for the flea market/car show/ antique show season, I picked up about a hundred pounds of sockets and wrenches at an auction. My favorite piece was a Plomb combination wrench that is about ten years older than I am. It has aged better than I have. It may be worth more.

"Moderate" Abigail Spanberger or "The blonde AOC", continues her campaign to turn Virginia into Eastern California. We only live a short drive from Virginia and frequently shop at the Rural King in Ridgeway. That's a free plug for my Rural King friends.  Just for the record, the folks in southwest Virginia are not Spanberger fans.  If you want an entertaining viewpoint on some of Spanberger's policies, especially the gas leaf blower ban, go to Facebook and check out "The Mower Store" videos.  The Mower Store is in Ridgeway just down US 220 from the Rural King.

Of course, AOC wannabe Spanberger can't hold a candle to Sheriff Garry McFadden of Mecklenburg County in North Carolina. On Monday, February 9, a NC State House committee had McFadden testify. Despite almost eight years as the Mecklenburg County Sheriff, McFadden was unable to state the branch of government to which the sheriff's office belonged. Even after being told by the chairman that there were three branches of government and they were legislative, executive and judicial, McFadden was unable to correctly guess which branch the sheriff's department belonged to. He guessed "judicial". Obviously, he belongs to the "Elected" DEI hires. The good news is that several people are running against him this year. Call it a hunch, but that video of McFadden testifying will soon be in someone's election ads, if it is not already there today.

The same Democraps who demanded that everyone in the country wear a useless mask during the contrived Covid crisis, are opposed to ICE agents wearing masks while taking illegal immigrants into custody.

The Senate is going to vote to shut down the DHS and then go home for the next week. We need to end this shit!! End the filibuster!! End the Senate "Blue Slips" dictatorship program. Term limits for Congress and federal employees. You have probably heard me sing this song before.

This is post #1501 for this blog. Yes, yesterday's swill was post #1500. But who's counting? Not me, I just happened to notice. Maybe it's time for Google to end their "shadow ban" of my blog. It's not working like they might think. My viewer numbers are way up since you can't "Google" Random Moments of Lunacy and find your way here. Thanks for reading!!
