Wynning

There is something wonderfully Berniesque about holding the first Democrat Party Presidential debate of the season at Steve Wynn's monument to himself (and "Capitalism") situated on the Las Vegas strip where the cheep rooms go for $599 per night ($671 if you include tax). What better location to promote Democratic Socialism and wealth redistribution than a casino built in Harry Reid's home town. Maybe the candidates can play a round of golf and warm up to each other before the debate - green fees are a measly $500 for 18 holes - that's a little more that $25 per hole after frustrating hole and caddying for a fivesome comprised of Hitlery, Bernie, My Favorite Martian, The Biggest Little Hobgoblin in the Union and the Cracker Jim Webb would be insane in the membrane. The only guy missing is Lunch Bucket Joe Biden (empty lectern), but he'll be joining the group soon, then Gore, then Kerry when Plan B takes effect - everyone's going to jump in after tonights debacle when America gets a look at this side-show mascaraing as a political party. Three of the 5 contestants aren't even Democrats - Sanders is an Independent (whatever that means) and Chafee and Webb are GOPers who switched parties for convenience - not conviction. That leaves the head of the Clinton Correctional Facility and the former Mayor of Tiny Town the only Democrats contending - hardly a prizefight.

The good news? The Donald will be live Tweeting and "covering" the entire debate - CNN is probably paying him to do it (they should). I wonder if the Elvis from Queens will fly in for the night and watch the show form his Vegas hotel - for those who don't know LVNV Trump and Wynn have a very close business relationship and there's a shuttle from Trump's hotel to the Wynn Casino that runs all day long. Trump has no gaming in his establishment, but delivers high rollers to Wynn's tables on the half hour - and just like in Washington DC, no matter how lucky their night might start out the house always wins in the end.

Tweeting from the Top Floor?
I will be reading Mr. Trump's twit fit tonight - he's one of those people, like many of his Afro-American fans, who actually understands how to use the Twitter platform.

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view

Psycho Killer, qu'est-ce?

I came into this wicked world in the early 1960's and as a result I have born witness to America's 50 Years of Failure which includes the modern age of mass shootings by psychotic men who "go off" on a given day, for no reason at all (except "guns"), and kill scads of innocent bystanders. Back in August of 2019 a KOTCB blog post titled " Reciprocity City " explored a young  gunman  named Patrick Crusius  who drove 9 hours through the west Texas flatlands to shoot up El Paso, TX The KOTCB has commented on many of these shootings, bombings and knifings over the years -  The roots of the Boston Marathon Bombing ,  the Emanuel AME Church shooting ,  Syed Rizvan Farook and his bride Tashfeen Malik ,  Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooting ,  Nick Cruz lovesick Parkland shooting ,  the Iranian, PETA activist, Vegan Bodybuilder, YouTuber's attack on Google  and now this very oddly timed and placed "lone wolf" attack on Walmart shoppers. This list

Who voted for this guy?

Who voted for this guy? It's been ten days since the results of the Maricopa County, Arizona ballot audit were released to the public and presented at a hearing held by the state senate. This exercise in democratic accountability had been going on for months and, if reports are to be believed, was completed well over a  month before the September 24th hearing where   overwhelming proof of an illegitimate election was presented to lawmakers . The audit showed multiple irregularities, fake ballots, duplicate counts, errors, omissions and egregious acts of sabotage and obstinance by the Maricopa County board of supervisors who did everything they could to withhold and destroy evidence of wrongdoing from the citizen sleuths. The misfeasance of Arizona's political leaders was clearly defined, shocking and (for some) beyond belief but somehow these facts were discovered, organized, packaged and suppressed for MONTHS by the Cyber Ninjas who were attempting to "get to the bottom&q
