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.

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

Keeping it Pithy

Always being one that embraces efficiency, I’m killing two birds with one stone with the title of this week’s blog post.  Most obviously, a quick shout out to Bill O’Reilly, whose tenure at Fox News after 20-plus years has come to an abrupt and sad ending.  I know, I know…it was the multiple accusations of sexual harassment that forced him out like his old boss Roger Ailes…but I think a slap on the wrist of some sort, along with some stern zero tolerance warnings, would have sufficed…I mean, we’re not talking slipping someone a mickey here, a la Bill Cosby.  Seems a bunch of his advertisers jumping ship was the final nail in the coffin.  It’s all about the benjamins, ya know.   And not even afforded the opportunity to offer some final words to his loyal audience.  Damn shame, and a big loss, as far as I’m concerned.  Not excusing this alleged boorish behavior, but seems the punishment didn’t fit the crime…just my opinion.  Anyway, the second purpose of the blog title is in reference to my desire to address multiple topics this week, and if I don’t keep it pithy, you fine folks will start reading, but give up quicker than the people standing behind Michael Moore at the Golden Corral buffet.  So, here goes… Continue reading

You Had Me at 59 Tomahawks

You probably remember the famous line “You had me at hello” from the movie Jerry Maguire. Well, President Trump…you had ME at 59 Tomahawks.  And the encore…The Mother of All Bombs.  Now THAT has quite a ring to it, does it not?  And we’re not even talking about Shia LaBeouf’s latest flick…from what I hear, the cinematic equivalent of waterboarding…but I digress.  So, color me impressed, to say the least, with this big mother of a bomb…I guess size does matter.  A quick history lesson…I love how Obama used to talk incessantly during his whole tenure about the economic abyss he was handed by Bush 43.  Well, one could very successfully argue the epicenter of that mess was the collapse of the mortgage and housing markets, courtesy of a couple of dopey Democrats, Barney Frank and Chris Dodd.  Trusting these dolts to oversee Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac was like trusting Michael Jackson to babysit your kids…but that’s a story for another day.  Point is that blaming that economic collapse on W is more of a stretch than the waist on Michael Moore’s pants.  The REAL abyss handed to a new President by his predecessor is the international crap sandwich handed to The Donald on a silver platter by Barack Hussein Obama.   Continue reading

The Red Line Resurrection

Our previous President, Ditherer-in-Chief Barry Obama, was just completely schooled by President Trump in the art of communication…sending a message, that is.  Don’t worry about that whole RED LINE thing, Barack, The Donald’s got you covered.  In response to yet another chemical attack dished out on his own people by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad…there IS something called the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) that outlaws this sort of thing…President Trump blasted the airfield from which that chemical attack originated with 59 Tomahawk missiles.  This was a “loud and clear” message to not only Assad, but to the rest of the wacko bullies of the world, including Syrian puppet masters Iran and Russia…not to mention that psychotic fat kid in North Korea, in serious need of both a new barber and a personal trainer.  The message?  The NEW sheriff in town possesses some culinary skills as well.  What you experienced was just the appetizer…don’t force us to serve up the main course…the Filet of Holy Hell, with a side of Shock and Awe.

The Magnificent Media Meltdown

I really thought the media meltdown over simply the election of President Trump could NEVER be surpassed…silly me.  While the media continues to cling to any morsel…real or imagined…related to the Trump campaign colluding with Russia to sway the election (and not a scintilla of evidence, by the way, after months of investigating), that pipe dream of theirs is disappearing faster than the dot on a vintage TV picture tube after hitting the OFF button.  At the SAME TIME, Barry’s Band of Bumbling Bozos are about to go down in disgrace…some, maybe sent to the clink.  Despite the BEST efforts of the butt kissing media to protect their hero, the latest revelations regarding Trump and his associates being surveilled and exposed, and the illegal leaking of classified information by the Obama Administration, is snowballing like an out of control avalanche.  Their figurative finger is inserted deep into the dike in an attempt to repel a raging flow of damaging information…an effort that will prove more futile than me trying to hit a 95 mph fastball.

A Dizzying Week…

I love choices.  Typically, I select a topic for the week from which to opine that has sort of risen to the top…in my feeble mind, at least.  But then you have a week like last week.  So much news, so much to get pissed off about.  More choices than on the dessert cart parked next to Michael Moore’s bed.  (Apologies for yet another gratuitous Michael Moore weight joke…I have ZERO will power in that area).  I must confess, I was going to write solely about the complete and utter failure of the juvenile Republicans in the House of Representatives who STILL cannot agree on an Obamacare replacement plan after SEVEN…FRIGGIN’…YEARS.  Thanks for Nuthin’…said The Donald.  So, I will begin by giving some brief thoughts on this debacle…any more than that, and my head might explode faster than Obamacare… Continue reading

The Russian House of Cards

I don’t know about you, but I’m getting pretty damn fatigued from hearing 24/7 about Russian interference in our election, and how if we don’t DO SOMETHING RIGHT NOW ABOUT IT, the end of our democracy is imminent.  Do you think for one nanosecond that had Hillary won the election (momentary nausea at THAT thought), these Libs would give a rat’s ass about the Russians?  Please.  Trying to get to the bottom of what Russia did or didn’t do is fine.  But the feigned outrage and hysteria over this is more than laughable as we know the Russians have been interfering in elections all over the world for decades.  And so have we…Russia, Israel, etc. Look it up.  Not condoning any of it, but the cries from the Looney Left about the END OF THE REPUBLIC are more hysterical and unhinged than the MSNBC and CNN snowflakes on election night.

They Can’t Possibly Screw This Up…Can They?

So what’s the REAL truth with the Obamacare repeal?  If you listen to the media, the Republicans are in a total state of disarray and completely ununified as to what the Obamacare replacement plan should look like.  I mean, they are ALL unified on the repeal piece…albeit, not with respect to timing, vis-a-vis replacement.  And when the Dems are in power and in the same predicament, they simply chalk-up the perceived chaos as the typical “sausage-making” of the legislative process. No such reciprocation here, as far as media narrative.  I must confess, though, at the moment, I’m clinging to that sentiment like a life-preserver, floating alone in the middle of the ocean.  Despite this being a “Pro-Republican blog, I am 1) NOT an apologist for the GOP, and 2) Fully aware that there are quite a few self-serving buffoons in Congress with an “R” next to their name…and don’t know the meaning of the word “compromise.”  Could these Republicans ACTUALLY fail in this endeavor?  They sure could…but I am refusing to believe the man who wrote “The Art of the Deal” will allow that to happen.

Spy Games

President Trump’s address to Congress…Wow!  Inspirational, aspirational, and no doubt, Presidential.  Even some praise from the Looney Left…maybe pigs DO fly.  Probably the most poignant moment of the night, however, was when President Trump honored Carryn Owens, widow of Ryan Owens, a Navy SEAL killed in Yemen recently during a raid against al-Qaida. Enter Michael Moore, President of the Pinko Posse, who so condescendingly called Carryn Owens a “poor woman,” and went on to say, “That’s why she’s there as sort of an f-you for the people who are criticizing [the mission Navy SEAL Ryan Owens was killed in].  And to use that to put another notch on his belt and what is he thinking about? My ratings. Record applause. Record ratings. I’m going to get an Emmy for this, most applause for a dead soldier on my watch. This is the sickness of this man.”  Not even worthy of comment, other than to say that Carryn Owens has more strength, class, and grace in a single strand of hair than that communist Moore has in his whole disgusting bloated carcass.
