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
I’m Back, Baby!
Often sequels are just a shadow of the original, but Trump/Clinton II certainly broke that mold. All that was missing was the steel cage and an eye gouge or two. More thoroughly entertained I could not have been. This battle had it all…sex, survival, suspense, accusations, mind games…did I mention sex? The Donald, ever the showman, arranges a pre-game powwow with a few of Bubba’s past, shall we say, “less than willing” conquests and the gullible media…followed by the parade of paramours marching to their primo front row seats (surely obtained without the help of Stub Hub). I’ll bet the millennials, too young to REALLY know the Clinton’s, were burning up their iPads googling “Bill Clinton’s Broken Zipper.” They certainly weren’t going to hear those salacious details from the mainstream media. Continue reading
A Taxing Situation
There seems to be no end to the nonsensical and hypocritical BS that spews out of the Clinton campaign and their Siamese twin, the mainstream media. The latest dog squeeze in this regard is the insanely earth shattering issue of Donald Trump’s taxes. I have to say, THIS one really steams my clams. The liberal rag and bedfellow of the Progressive Movement that is The New York Times thought they FINALLY had The Donald by the short hairs. If you haven’t heard by now…it seems that they (likely illegally) obtained a page of a 1995 tax return that shows…I hope you’re sitting down…Donald Trump actually declaring a fully legal business loss on his taxes! Nooooooooooooooo!!! Honey, get the smelling salts! Now, let me give you a moment to catch your breath and regain your composure after having this shocking news thrust upon you… Continue reading
Debate Hangover
The first Trump/Clinton debate had Super Bowl-like ratings, but unlike some Super Bowls, this debate truly lived up to the pre-game hype. The post-debate, no-spin analysis in my mind is simply a laundry list of painfully obvious punches landed and missed opportunities. I pretty much go along with the pre-debate conventional wisdom in terms of lower expectations for Trump being a non-politician and this being his first one-on-one debate…FAR different than the primary debates, where there was often eight people on the stage. I think Trump may have skated on one comment that could be perceived, I suppose, as non-PC…that being the one in the cyber security discussion alluding to a potential hacker being a 400 pound person laying in bed. He may have lost the 400-pounder vote on that little faux pas. Oh well…live & learn. I immediately thought he was referring to Rosie O’Donnell…but admittedly, that would be pure speculation on my part. Continue reading
Just Say No To Hillary
Never has anyone with a resume so long done so little for so many. As it relates to Hillary Clinton, one must not conflate political experience with competence, trustworthiness, or honesty. Even her most ardent surrogates struggle when asked to identify an actual record of accomplishment. By all accounts, she did next to nothing as NY Senator. And more recently, of course, her policies as Secretary of State have been unmitigated disasters. Add to all of this her perpetual scandal ridden history, and her pathological lying…even when the truth will serve her just fine. In this election, the best case to be made for Donald Trump really lies in the case against Hillary Clinton.
Let’s take a stroll down memory lane, shall we? Continue reading
Hillary’s 47% Moment…On Steroids
I’d like to sincerely thank Hillary Clinton. No, really. You see, it’s just that I was grappling with what to write about this week. So much liberal BS and media bias…so little time. Like being overwhelmed with a zillion choices at the Chinese…uh, Asian…buffet. Then, that ever elusive moment of clarity, courtesy of the Queen of Corruption herself, Hillary Clinton, and the following quote…“You know, just to be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric. Now some of those folks, they are irredeemable. But thankfully they are not America.” Wow. And she even forgot the part about how my mother wears army boots.
Without a doubt, her 47% moment. But worse. Way, way worse. Continue reading
The Doctor is NOT in
One of my favorite spectator sports has become watching liberals attempting to defend the indefensible. Doesn’t matter what the particular subject is as they are wrong on pretty much every non-social issue policy position known to man. My absolute favorite, though, is Obamacare. Even as Obamacare is currently (and quite predictably) imploding before our eyes, the Libs insist on going down with the ship…the Titanic, in this case. They debate, they roll their eyes, shake their heads, have a mini tantrum, and accuse us Obamacare deniers of not wanting people to have affordable health care…right. If demagoguing issues was an Olympic sport, they’d have more gold than Michael Phelps. Continue reading
