As it relates to the coverage of President Trump, the liberal mainstream media has clearly Jumped The Shark. Huh? Well, some of you may be too young to comprehend such a dated cultural reference. Briefly as I can…There was a very popular sitcom back in the 70’s called “Happy Days” that was set in the 50’s, and there was a character by the name of Arthur Fonzarelli…affectionately known as The Fonz. So, The Fonz was the coolest guy in town…leather jacket, rode a motorcycle, chicks loved him…the whole nine yards…sort of the opposite of me. Anyway, many years into the show, they had a ridiculous episode where The Fonz was going to jump his bike over a tank full of sharks, a la Evel Knievel. That premise was so ridiculous, that the show was never the same subsequent to that…surely, the beginning of the end for Happy Days. The Urban Dictionary defines Jumping The Shark as “The precise moment when you know something or someone has taken a turn for the worse, gone downhill, become irreversibly bad, is unredeemable, etc.; the moment you realize decay has set in.” This is exactly how I see the media today. And by the way, Media…unlike The Fonz…the chicks DON’T like you. Continue reading

Black and White
Most Presidents seem to just dip their toes in the water when it comes to their first international trips…something easy like Mexico or Canada. Not The Donald, of course. His first foray into such a journey was the political equivalent of a cliff dive in Acapulco. Trump’s historic speech Sunday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in front of the leaders of 50 Muslim-majority countries was big, bold…and surely Reaganesque in its clarity and simplicity. Help us defeat terrorism…no nuance there. Like a pre-game pep talk a la Vince Lombardi, Trump implores, “This is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life and decent people, all in the name of religion, people that want to protect life and want to protect their religion. This is a battle between good and evil.” And this was just Act 1. Trips to Israel, Palestine, and The Vatican followed. And even some mild and begrudging praise from many in the mainstream media. Whatever one thinks of President Trump, all must agree that he does nothing in a small way. Speaking of small, how small do the Russia obsessed Trump haters look right now? Like a single grain of sand in the Arabian desert. Continue reading
It’s Deja Vu All Over Again
Libs, Libs….WHY do you keep doing this to yourselves? First, it was declaring the end of the Republic when the GOP refused to entertain Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court during a Presidential election cycle. This, despite the fact that such an action was completely consistent with an almost century old precedent…and mountains of video out there showing Dems arguing the exact same point in the past when it suited them politically. Yeah, I’m talking to YOU Crazy Uncle Joe Biden and Chuckie Schumer! As the great Yogi Berra once uttered…”It’s deja vu all over again.” With apologies to ESPN…LET’S GO TO THE VIDEOTAPE! Last few months, these hysterical Dems are screaming for FBI Director Jim Comey’s head for COSTING HILLARY THE ELECTION!…, and wanted him gone…PRONTO! Trump finally concurs…and curiously, leg wetting ensues. Once again…END OF THE REPUBLIC! WORSE THAN WATERGATE! Seriously? Despite the stiff competition, the winner of poster child for this juiced-up hypocrisy is none other than Maxine Waters, who in an interview with MSNBC, said she would have supported Hillary firing Comey…but NOT Trump. Wow. I am speechless. I am without speech. My advice to Maxine is some stronger psychotic meds, with a Ripple chaser. Interestingly, it dawns on me that if Nancy Pelosi were black, she’d be Maxine Waters. And vice versa, of course. Continue reading
Off To The Races
Liberals…can’t live with’em, can’t live without’em. Ok, scratch that…I could get along just swimmingly without’em. Especially Jonathan Gruber. Who? Well, he just happens to be an MIT economist and one of the main architects of the Obamacare train wreck, who a couple of years ago infamously said of Obamacare, “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical to get for the thing to pass.” Truthfully, I respect his honesty in basically admitting that Obamacare was a big lie and a sham from the start…keep your plan, keep your doctor, lower premiums…yeah, sure. And now? Gruber and all the rest of the Socialist Scumbag Brigade are clinging to Obamacare like Michael Moore shipwrecked on an island clinging to that last Krispy Kreme. Continue reading
The More The Merrier
I’ve been writing this blog for nine glorious months, and I’m really starting to dig touching on multiple subjects every week as opposed to just one…hence, the title of this post. Variety is the spice of life, I suppose. But no matter the subject, there is one common denominator, and that is the total and complete knee-jerk opposition by Democrats and the media to ANYTHING that emanates from the Trump Administration. The media these days is even crapping on poor Ivanka Trump…one of the most perfect human specimens on the planet…jealousy, no doubt. I mean, have you SEEN some of those beauties in the White House press briefing room recently? Anyway, let’s begin with one of the three certainties of life…taxes…the other two being death, and Nancy Pelosi saying something stupid today… Continue reading
