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.

A Trifecta of Titillating Topics

This is not breaking news by any stretch…but I’m typically in a perpetual state of outrage over the never-ending stream of hypocrisy, dishonesty, and well, just general asinine words and actions emanating from the Progressive Democrats and Liberal Media.  This always seems to provide a plethora of topics from which to select to blog about on a weekly basis.  This week, however, I’ve been struck by three items, all of which motivate me to opine…a threesome, if you will…(Ok, let’s all collectively step up out of the gutter right now).  I must confess that for working the word “threesome” into a political blog (and not even mentioning Bill Clinton), I am strangely both proud and completely disgusted with myself at the same time.  Off we go, in no particular order… Continue reading

The Greatest Show on Earth

It will be forever known simply as “The Press Conference.”  So generic, yet so universally understood.  A sight to behold…Ringmaster Trump holding court, and the circus clowns in the media doing somersaults.  I was halfway expecting an old VW to drive up with 42 midgets pouring out (uh, little people…that’s PC, right?).  In this case, I think the conventional wisdom is spot on…if you’re Pro-Trump, it was heaven.  And the Never Trumpsters, right on cue, had their typical hissy-fit, “hair on fire” overreaction…the end of the Republic, no doubt.  As for me?  Well, I have not been as thoroughly entertained since the first time I saw John Belushi crush a beer can on this head in Animal House.  What a joy to witness the raw calling out of the fraudulent media BY THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF, and in the process, expose their own skin…thinner than even Joe Biden’s hair plugs.  Fake story after fake story, retraction after retraction.  BREAKING NEWS! TRUMP REMOVES BUST OF MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. FROM OVAL OFFICE!  RACIST! RACIST!  Uh, wait a minute…there was just someone standing in front of it?  Oops.  Millions read fake story, 14 people see the retraction.  Ok, we get the drill.  Here’s the reality…the ENTIRE nation sees exactly what the media is doing…it’s just that about half the country happens to be ok with it because they share the same hysterical, unhinged hatred for President Trump.

The Democratic Double-Down

The Democrat Party has taken the expression “some people never learn” to heights higher than Snoop Dogg on a weekend trip to Colorado.  The United States has been, and still is, a center-right country.  So, after eight years of President Obama racing to the left at every forked road he confronted, and The Hildabeast promising more of the same, she lost the election on November 8th in breathtaking fashion…truly, the political equivalent of the poor Atlanta Falcons.  But beyond her own scandal ridden ineptness, the stunning losses by the Dems in November were simply a continuation of the total and complete repudiation of Obama’s violent dragging of the country to the far left.  This rejection movement cut its teeth back in the 2010 midterm elections in response to the nationally administered Obamacare colonoscopy, sans anesthesia…and not even a lousy glass of Cabernet to loosen us up.  Ouch.  This trend has continued to this day, with the Dems getting their political asses handed to them at all levels…State Legislatures, Governorships, Congressional seats, and The Granddaddy of Them All (No, not the Rose Bowl)…The White House.  And their obvious response to this marathon of losing?  Double down and move even HARDER to the left, of course!  What geniuses.

Making Sense of The Intolerant, Incontinent Left

The unhinged intolerance of Liberals never ceases to amaze me.  And what’s more amazing than even the ’69 Mets is that, like Dracula, who can’t see himself in a mirror, these Libs are somehow completely blind to the fact that everything they dishonestly purport President Trump and conservatives to be, they in fact ARE…Fascists, being at the top of the list. Their vision is so blurred by the non-stop waterfall of tears flowing since November 8th that they cannot even see the mountain of irony and hypocrisy right in front of their nose.  This is displayed most dramatically by the constant assault…literally…of the 1st Amendment rights of conservative speakers invited on college campuses to engage in a free exchange of ideas. Liberals can no longer dismiss this type of subversive crap as anecdotal as it happens more frequently than Nancy Pelosi’s dimwitted statements.  The most recent example happened in…you got it…The People’s Republic of California.  But make no mistake…this has been happening for years all over the country, and largely ignored by the incompetent lemmings in the mainstream media.

Fake News, Fake Outrage, and Fake Tears

Since Inauguration Day, anyone who still thinks politics as usual is NOT dead has either been binge-watching Netflix, on a week-long bender, or in a coma.  It seems President Trump went out of his way in his first week in office to prove his non-politician pedigree by actually getting the wheels in motion to deliver pretty much everything he campaigned on…shudder the thought.  This is evidenced by the dizzying flurry of executive orders, from killing the Trans-Pacific Partnership, to the rollback of Obamacare, to the revival of the Keystone XL Pipeline…and on & on.  While Hillary and Bernie promised, ad nauseam, free college education…for which they knew bloody well would NEVER happen…Trump’s promises were not simply empty campaign blather.  Damn refreshing as far as I’m concerned.

The Waiting is Over…Finally

Two things have become very apparent now that we’ve witnessed what was once unthinkable…the inauguration of Donald J. Trump.  The first is that The Donald is 70 years old and he’s not going to change one iota.  Second…the Trump haters will simply NEVER give the man a chance.  Minds more closed than a bar an hour after last call.  I’ve literally never seen such visceral hatred for a person not named Hitler or Bin Laden in my life.  This goes WAY beyond policy or ideological disagreements, and quite frankly, straight into a mental health issue.  And as the liberal media continue their sprint on the wheel of hate like a crazed gerbil…mocking Trump’s inauguration crowd size in the same vain as Little Marco making fun of the size of Donald’s…um…hands, Trump simply could not ignore such nonsense and triviality, and true to form, hit back hard.  Same old, same old. Continue reading

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Only a political geek like me can be glued to the 50 inch plasma watching the Senate confirmation hearings for Trump’s Cabinet picks like it’s the 7th game of the World Series.  It can be a bit of an emotional roller coaster…bumping around from infuriation, to inspiration, and yes, even all the way back to the screeching halt of boredom.  The Democrats, for their part, will gleefully tell you how much they hate the Cabinet picks…and this is as obvious as a brick through a window as one endures their uber-partisan questioning.  It should not go unnoticed, however, that when President Obama was elected in 2008, most of his Cabinet picks were confirmed either before, or shortly after Inauguration Day…with a lot of help from Republicans.  So much for returning the favor.  Anyway, let’s take a quick look at my version of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly…Senate Confirmation Edition…that hopefully would make Clint Eastwood proud… Continue reading

Is That All You Got?

Bogus recount efforts…failed.  Threatening electoral college voters…failed.  While most of the sobbing snowflakes of Liberal Land understand on some intellectual level that Donald Trump will in fact become the 45th President of the United States on January 20th, they will NEVER accept it.  If denial was an earthquake, this would be about a 9.3 on the Richter.  They also realize they can’t spend their waking hours wallowing in misery in their safe spaces screaming for someone to bring them milk, cookies, and dammit, some more coloring books…PRONTO! So…Libs are their name, delegitimizing is their game…Trump, that is.  And this my friends, is why the dangerously politicized intelligence agencies rushed out a report “officially” fingering the Russians in hacking the DNC and John Podesta’s emails.  OH, THE HUMANITY!!!
