Punch Line


Between the Bush/Romney powwow on Jan. 22, 2015
Bush backers have expressed doubts about a third try at the White House by Romney, while Romney supporters question whether Bush has the passion it takes to mount a successful bid.
And Meet the Press Jan. 25, 2015
CHUCK TODD:
No, there were some other interviews. I want to quickly get to Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush a minute. First, I should play that. Kelly O'Donnell was referring to Donald Trump and his little laugh line or whatever you want to call it. Let me play it really fast.
DONALD TRUMP (ON TAPE):
It can't be Mitt because Mitt ran and failed. He failed. The last thing we need is another Bush. He's totally in favor of Common Core. He is very, very weak on immigration.
CHUCK TODD:
Helene, nobody's going to mistake Donald Trump for a presidential candidate. I don't think. Other than Donald Trump these days. But the fact that Mitt Romney and Bush were essentially a punch line.
something very interesting happened Jan. 23, 2015

EXT. POOLSIDE WYNN HOTEL AND CASINO, LAS VEGAS, NV
SHELDON ADELSON: All I know is that the Mormons are pissed but they can't move the Bush people an inch. They know they've got no juice if Bush won't give them the organization and so they're forced to go along with it.
STEVE WYNN: We all know that Mitt would never rise any higher than VP in one of our companies so I don't blame the Bush's for hobbling him, but for the love of God, are they really going to push Jeb as the chosen one? I don't see it.
DONALD TRUMP: Low Energy. Weak.
PHIL RUFFIN: Well, Donald, you're always talking about how screwed up these guys are. Why don't you jump in.
DONALD TRUMP: I'm ready to go. Got a great slogan already trademarked: Make America Great Again and I told the RNC that Bush would only become president over my dead body. I just need my friends to help me keep Bush or Romney from getting enough money and support to give me a fighting chance. All I'm asking for is a chance to make my case.
STEVE WYNN: Hey, I hate giving money to any of them. I'll talk to the New York and Boston guys and tell them to hold off Donald. I know you'll give it 100%.
SHELDON ADELSON: Okay, Donald, I'll tell the tribe to give you a shot. Just promise me you'll do better then Newt did against Romney last time - that was good money after bad. I'll put one million dollars on you today and if you pull it off I'll give you the winnings for the general election. What are the odds?
DONALD TRUMP: Probably 100 to 1 but don't place the bet yet. If Bush formally announces then I'll jump in. I will win, I can tell you that. It's going to be huge. 
Yep, it's going to be huge alright.

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

No Step On Snek

On The 2020 Election: In an elemental way We the People of the United States lost because Trump, and the MAGA movement he champions, forced the Deep State/Administrative State/New World Order (whatever you want to call it) and its enablers in Corporate America - Finance/FakeNews/Big Tech - to declare their sovereignty and steal our election in the most obvious way possible. The brazenness and " in yo face " shamelessness of the crime is a big part of its effectiveness and loudly proclaims an intent to demoralize and defeat the America First ideology which actually won the highest number of votes in this nation's history. It wasn't even close and that was made clear when key cities in 5 or 6 swing states declared they would pause (stop) counting(?!) votes until all the rural districts had submitted results allowing the big city machines to manufacture the ballots required to put Jo(((k)))e Biden in the lead. NPC's and Normies don't get too critical of process a

I've Got You Dumb Motherfuckers Eating Right Out Of My Hand

The branches of government In 2011 John Lasseter wrote an opinion piece for The Onion which exposed Pixar's production strategy and shocking success in the marketplace : "Yes, after the success of our first few movies we had a hunch you'd continue to enjoy the wonderfully designed animation and our smart, lyrical writing, but I didn't think we'd create a horde of drooling morons ready to drop everything just to watch a fucking rat cook dinner." This observation was in reference to a Pixar film titled "Ratatouille" about a rat who dreams of becoming a French chef which, to my lights, created one of the most unappetizing and subversive stories ever told. The idea of rats running roughshod in a Michelin-starred restaurant is bad enough but when the proposition that "Anyone can cook" is taken to its evil and impossible extreme I must object for France and humanity. Using that movie and others as an example Lasseter makes the point that his
