Poor, poor President Obama. His attempt last week at his final press conference to set the table for his “legacy” felt more like him yanking the tablecloth out from under it. The verbal equivalent of spanx, to conceal, shall we say…the least flattering parts? Sure, the hyper-partisan leftists tried in vain to not spill their latte’s as they cheered and high-fived, but other than them and the zombies that think the electoral college is an institution of higher learning, the rest of us were just sort of bewildered. And as President Obama seemed to take great pleasure in spreading his legacy feathers like a proud peacock, he must have just assumed that nobody had been paying much attention for the past eight years. There’s not enough lipstick on the planet to smear on the pig that is the Obama legacy. So let’s peel the onion back a bit on the nightmare of the past 8 years that is mercifully about to come to an end… Continue reading

Delusion, Delirium, and Denial
I was actually starting to think that the hysterics of the Trump deniers were beginning to taper off, but I should have known better. I’d really rather write about more substantive issues, but the endless opportunities to completely mock and ridicule the Democrats and the media as they continue to erect these pillars of excuses is just too delicious to pass up. And truth be told, I’ve always been lacking in the will-power department. The layering of excuses for Hillary’s historic defeat is piled higher than your grandmother’s lasagna. It’s enough to make your head spin…Jim Comey, electoral college, fake news, Fox News blaring in every restaurant and bar in the country (Obama gets full credit for that one)….and, drumroll please…a blast from the not too distant past…Russian Hacking! Let’s unpack some of this and talk about what the hell is REALLY going on… Continue reading
An Open Letter to the Dumb-O-Crat Party
Dearest Dems:
Boy, it’s been a rough year, hasn’t it? I know it feels like the end of the world, but you JUST have to move on. You seem to be inextricably nestled somewhere in the purgatory between anger and denial. OK, so the election that was supposed to just be a formality didn’t quite work out. The anointment of Queen Hillary unexpectedly went down in flames because of that Neanderthal, Donald Trump. You wake up at 3am in a cold sweat yelling “MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!” Your dream of a more Socialistic United States turned out to be nothing but a nightmare. Jesus, get back in the game and stop feeling sorry for yourself! The sun will rise again if you can just find the wherewithal to dismount your ideological high horse. I have to admit, though, I have my doubts…but the humanitarian in me has to at least give it a shot. Unfortunately, you’re off to a crap start… Continue reading
Pampers or Depends?
Paper or Plastic? Boxers or Briefs? Ginger or Mary Ann? Ah, life is full of choices. And in the case of the election crybabies…Pampers or Depends? We know these bed-wetters are sporting SOME form of diaper. Actually, the answer is obvious…these losers are not even close to graduating to the adult variety. Enter Jill Stein, Green Party candidate, who has supposedly “raised” millions of dollars in an effort to initiate recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania… based on claims of Russian hacking, or whatever else…for which there is zero evidence….and weeks after an already conceded election. This mental defective even described Fidel Castro upon his death as “a symbol of the struggle for justice.” I think the clinical term is crackpot. When you google the phrase “Bitches Be Crazy,” Stein’s picture engulfs your monitor. And by the way…Edith Bunker had nothing on this woman in the Dingbat department. Continue reading
Post Election Potpourri…The Sequel
I’m not typically what one would consider a risk taker. But I’m going to smash right through that mold by presenting a sequel to last week’s post…a risky proposition, for sure, as often movie sequels completely suck compared to the original. I mean, Caddyshack II? Gimme a break. Sequels often have “#2” in the title for a reason. If the worst DOES happen, though, and I deliver a big crap sandwich, I will either pick myself up off the floor to write another day…OR I will journey to the nearest safe space at the local university and curl up for a while in the fetal position…if I can find any unoccupied floor space, that is. Anyway, there has been such a continual seepage of post-election BS that I find so objectionable, I simply cannot restrain myself. And while they say things often come in “3’s,” I promise…this one won’t. Continue reading
Post Election Potpourri
Interesting word…potpourri. No, I’m not talking about that dried flower petal fragrant stuff crammed into a jar and often found lurking near the commode…for obvious reasons. In a different context, though, it’s the perfect word to describe all of the mutually exclusive post-election mishmash swimming around in my head. So while there are a multitude of interesting circumstances and observations emanating from the ashes of the election after-party, hopefully I’ll touch on a few that may have been simmering in your own subconscience. In no particular order, let the post-mortem begin… Continue reading
And THAT’s Why They Play the Game…
It wasn’t supposed to happen…until it did. In sports, we’ve all seen teams that were insanely heavy favorites, only to go down in crushing defeat to a heavy underdog. And THAT’s why they play the game. To the Clintonites, Election Day was to be nothing more than a formality. Trump’s improbable victory, against all odds, will go down as one of the most, if not THE most historic presidential triumphs of all time. But as stunning as all of this is, it makes total sense, doesn’t it? Along the way, every single morsel of conventional political wisdom has been wrong. It is absolutely counter-intuitive that all of a sudden we should believe the pollsters, the liberal media, and political “experts” telling us that Clinton would run away with this thing…based on nothing more than an extrapolation of historical norms. These are the very same people who told us repeatedly that Trump had zero chance of getting the nomination. Now, I’m surely no genius (to which most folks that know me will enthusiastically attest), but I saw the real possibility of this clear as day. The only true uncertainty surrounded the seemingly insurmountable challenge of the electoral map. Continue reading
Cry Me A River, Hillary
I can’t tell you how long I’ve been waiting for this day. What we are seeing unfold before our very eyes is the inevitable collapse of the Corrupt Clinton Empire. It all started as a tiny snowball rolling down a mountain unobstructed, growing larger and larger into a massive, unstoppable force. The drip, drip, drip of the daily Wikileaks revelations detailing government corruption at the highest levels, a White House and Justice Dept fully in the tank for Hillary, blatant media collusion with the Clinton Campaign, Clinton Foundation corruption, Obamacare imploding, and on and on. What has brought this to very possibly the point of no return in terms of the Clinton’s being able to salvage their decades old corrupt political machine is the stunning letter submitted by FBI Director James Comey to Congress indicating his reopening of the Clinton email investigation. I sense this is the beginning of the end for the Crooked Clinton’s and their minions. Seems the FBI inadvertently came across a whole treasure trove of new, “pertinent” emails while investigating Clinton’s long time aide Huma Abedin’s pervy soon-to-be ex-husband and ex-NY Congressman Anthony Weiner for allegedly sexting with underage girls. Why couldn’t his name just have been Smith? Oh, let me answer that one…because this is WAY more fun. You just can’t make this stuff up, folks. Continue reading
“So You’re Telling Me There’s a Chance”
Sometimes life truly imitates art. You might recall the 1994 movie Dumb and Dumber, where the woman Jim Carrey’s character wants to be with tells him there’s a one in a million chance of that happening. Lloyd (played by Carrey) then utters the famous phrase…”So you’re telling me there’s a chance.” Classic. And while the mainstream media would have you believe that Trump’s chances of winning are about in that one in a million range, the betting sites don’t reflect THAT dire of a situation…about a 15% chance of winning…a seemingly monumental uphill challenge, nonetheless. Despite what these cockamamie polls say, the only poll that counts is the one on November 8th. In fact, there is a list of things longer than Pinocchio’s (and fellow liar, Hillary’s) nose that could point to an unlikely Trump victory. And it wouldn’t hurt either to swizzle it all with just a tad bit of wishful thinking. No better time than to just lay this all out on the table right here and now as to why the polls just may be wrong…WAY wrong… Continue reading
Third Time’s a Charm
Finally. This third and final Trump/Clinton debate proved to be the most fair and substantive…by far. Legendary journalist Chris Wallace was the true winner of the night, and quite frankly, embarrassed and put to shame the previous Hillary loving, hack journalists that moderated the first two debates. Universal praise from both sides. Fair and tough questions, zero favoritism, feet held to the fire…and even some semblance of order. Quite predictably, the mainstream media chose to give Hillary a complete pass on her numerous “non-answers” as it related to the gobs of uncomfortable issues and scandals she was confronted with. However, the ridiculous headline out of the debate was Trump’s refusal to prematurely declare the election results acceptable…just that he would have to basically wait & see. Not an imprudent position, given THE NEWS OF THE DAY…namely, the Project Veritas videos showing high level Democratic operatives explaining on hidden camera how to perpetrate voter fraud! Add to that the historical backdrop of Al Gore and John Kerry, who each claimed their respective elections in 2000 and 2004 (both vs George W. Bush) were stolen from them. Given the proper context around this admittedly non-political response by Trump, the mountain of wadded up mainstream media panties over this is truly stunning. Continue reading
