It was seven to one.  Huh?  That was the ratio of Trump supporters to Trump haters at our Thanksgiving dinner table.  So yeah, NOBODY brought up politics…plus, it would have been WAY too easy to bring down the hammer with that ratio anyway.  And let’s face it… it’s just bad form to gang up on one’s mother.  Well, I did bring up the politically benign act of President Trump pardoning this year’s turkeys, Drumstick and Wishbone.  And how The Donald jokingly said he was informed by his legal team that he could NOT reverse the pardons of last year’s turkeys, Tater and Tot…in light of his blowing up of many of President Obama’s abysmal executive orders.  I mean, what’s wrong with a small serving of presidential humor to complement the usual Thanksgiving fare?  But even THAT got a groan of disapproval from some…even at a table of mostly Republicans.  Doesn’t ANYONE have a goddamn sense of humor anymore?  Anyway, this week’s political musings will simply consist of a couple of items swimming around in my consciousness…or tryptophan induced unconsciousness, as it were.

I am a weak, weak man.  I swore to myself that I would NOT write a blog post about this avalanche of disgusting sexual misconduct allegations.  But with the crescendo of allegations growing daily, I could resist no more…my will power is as kaput as the careers of all of these ass-grabbers.  If women are Popeye, then Harvey Weinstein is surely their spinach, as it seems HIS whole sordid saga has enabled them to muster the emotional muscle to shine a light on these scumbags…and that’s a GOOD thing.   I mean, the daily accusations are becoming as routine as the local newspaper being hurled into my flower bed every morning.  Now…while I see no purpose in regurgitating names and/or specific accusations, I do have some observations…

My God, has it been a whole year already?  Hard to believe.  It seemed like just yesterday I was absolutely giddy at the sight of hundreds of Hillary-ites just bawling their little liberal eyes out in some fancy New York hotel ballroom when the unthinkable happened.  President…Trump?  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!  Nice ring to it STILL, don’t ya think?   Although..after just a smidge of self-reflection, I must admit…the fact that THEIR anguish…that of fellow human beings…gave me so much damn pleasure is not something I really want to delve into all that deeply…psychologically speaking.  OK, fine…I’m no Mother Teresa, so kill me.  Anyway, as I continue to bask in sweet victory on this joyous one year anniversary, allow me to briefly hit upon some of the latest political goings-on…well, as briefly as a wordy bloke like me is able… Continue reading →

When it comes to unhinged, obsessive hatred of President Trump, these Libs just DON’T know when to quit.  And as they speed down Resistance Road…the word “truth” never comes close to even entering the conversation.  If the Dems in Congress, the mainstream media, and all others in Liberal Utopia who frolic among the unicorns under a perpetual rainbow each and every day want to be taken seriously, they’ve got to double-up on their Trump Derangement Syndrome Meds, and learn to assess policy proposals in a serious way.  Case in point…the release of the first Tax Reform/Tax Cut proposal coming out of the GOP.  Not perfect, gonna change as it meanders through the legislative process…but a lot of stuff you’d think the Dems would actually like.  Well…apparently, not so much.  Einsteins like Pelosi called it a “Ponzi scheme,” “massive con,” and “shell game.”  Complete and utter nonsense.  That broad can’t add two and two together, so I guarantee she has no earthly idea what’s in the plan anyway.  She REALLY ought to do a favor to the medical research community and donate her brain to science…or WHATEVER it is rattling around inside that coconut of hers.  Anyway, let’s try to wrap some facts and perspective around the initial tax proposal, sans the fog of the usual tired, nonsensical, and fatiguing liberal gibberish.

The scrumptious irony is almost intoxicating.  While there’s been a plethora of reporting in recent months on all kinds of shenanigans between the Russians, Hillary’s campaign, and the DNC…with the Fusion GPS fake dossier and corrupt uranium deal swizzled in…it’s been pretty much kept at bay by not only a disinterested… but a fully complicit…media.  Shocker.  Makes no difference, though…nor does Hillary’s “Six Degrees of Separation” strategy, a la Kevin Bacon.  BTW, did you know he was in Animal House?   Random flashback to my youth, but I  digress.  Anyway…This whole sordid “Trump collusion” lie, created as a diversion to the orgy of corruption that always seems to swirl around the Clinton’s, is imploding like a century old rat-infested building making way for some new fancy schmancy high-rise condos.  The cat and the horse have escaped the bag and barn, respectively, and I’m loving every minute of this political boomerang… Continue reading →

I KNEW I hadn’t quite seen it yet…but I sensed it was coming…and I’d SURELY know it when I saw it.  Well, last week we saw the political discourse in this country take its final swirl down the drain of indecency.  Who REALLY knows, but you gotta have conviction in life, so I’m making the call right here and now.  Like a needle-scarred drug addict succumbing to an intervention, or an alcoholic, family and job pissed away, clutching desperately to that last, near empty bottle of hooch…we have hit ROCK BOTTOM.  Nowhere to go but up, right?   Don’t hold your breath…but feel free to hold your nose.

Sometimes, life DOES imitate art.  There’s an old Seinfeld episode where George Costanza does the EXACT OPPOSITE of what one would think is the right thing to do in every situation….and with smashing success.  OK, delusional as I am at times, I know it’s just a TV show.  However, that single episode provided Donald Trump the exact template with which to defeat The Hildabeast…her own screaming ineptness, shortcomings, and absent message notwithstanding.  The coastal elites were all too happy to frolic behind the Pied Piper of Politics, Barry Obama, in his quest to transform Peoria into Paris….and continued to skip in unison as the baton was firmly slapped into Hillary’s little sausage fingers.  But flyover country had another idea.  You know, the kind of people that stand up when the national anthem is playing?  As promised, The Donald is simply channeling Costanza and doing the opposite of every Obama policy…mercifully flushing away the stench of eight years of flaccid, progressive rule.  SOMEBODY GET THE PLUNGER!  Ew.

I always like to take pride in the fact that I’m a guy who can admit when he’s wrong.  OK, my better half won’t agree with that, but she’s ONE person, so can’t I legitimately dismiss HER opinion as simply anecdotal?  Anyway, just when I thought these Libs could not climb the ladder of hypocrisy any further, I realized I was more wrong than the guy who mistakenly sent Nancy Pelosi a Mensa application in the mail.  I mean, Jack and the Beanstalk has nothing on THIS crew as far as reaching new heights.  And what’s worse, it’s blatant and in your face…like an Antifa fascist hurling a brick though the local florist’s window.

Well, another first.  You MAY have noticed (probably not, but let’s stay with that thought)…that for the first time in the 14 months I’ve been writing this blog, a week has passed where I failed to post something.  While I have published blog posts previously when I was traveling, it just didn’t happen for me last week.  I was in Colorado bingeing on hiking, brewery hopping, dining…and rumor has it, a trip to the local cannabis dispensary…strictly for social research purposes, of course.  It IS Colorado, after all.  Ya know…when in Rome.  And to my great dismay, the world of news and politics kept right on chugging along just fine without me.  So much for what’s left of my very fragile ego.  Anyway, like a couple of old friends sharing a few magnificently hoppy IPA’s at their favorite brew pub, time for us to catch up… Continue reading →

Say what you want about The Donald, but when this guy needs to REALLY rise to the occasion…my God.  I mean, if you had a whole truckload of Viagra, and Trump was a…um…never mind, you get the analogy.  Anyway, we often hear the term “Leader of The Free World” when referring to a U.S. President.  After I witnessed the greatness that was President Trump’s address to the United Nations General Assembly, I realized I hadn’t seen a U.S. President that wore the “Leader of The Free World” moniker in recent times so glowingly since Reagan.  Unlike O.J., THAT glove fits quite nicely, thank you very much.  And yes, that includes both Bush 41 and 43.  Carter, Clinton, and Obama?  Surely you jest.  Trump was certainly channeling ANOTHER American Bad Ass, Clint Eastwood, when he laid down The Gauntlet with these sniveling Lefty Globalists and Dictators at the U.N.  I only wish he dropped “Go Ahead, Make My Day.”  But then you can’t have everything, can you?
