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.

Blue Devils and Yellow Cowards

A few weeks ago Duke lost Coach K’s last game at Camron Indoor Stadium to the schools hated rival, North Carolina University, in an epic grudge match. It was an “ unacceptable ” finale for the maniacal ferret-faced competitor who created the 40 year dynastic Duke hoops program with 1,000+ wins and fists full of ACC and NCAA championships but for Tar Heels everywhere it was a day of retribution. Michael  William Krzyzewski, is a red-blooded All-American college basketball coach of Polish and Ukrainian descent who grew up in Chicago’s famous Ukrainian Village which is (or at least was) culturally very reminiscent of the Rus borderlands. That is to say that young S h-shef-ski   grew up as  far away (psychology) from Dixie as is possible while still living within the borders of the USA. That makes him the perfect choice to represent Duke University and the Yankee overachievers who emigrate to Durham for 4 years of education and networking before moving back to non-Southern civilization.

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.

Mask Off

U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle finally did it - after 14 months of mandatory masking by order of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) this capricious and ineffectual edict has been ruled unconstitutional and, it follows, illegal.  Since January 29, 2021 the CDC has prohibited citizens to travel without wearing a mask but the insanity actually started as far back as July 14, 2020 when " CDC calls on Americans to wear masks to prevent COVID-19 spread ." That's 643 days of stupidity folks - it covers the Kenosha Riots, the attempted kidnapping of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the Fake 2020 Election, the 1/6 Save America March and Insurrection, Jo(((K)))e Brandon's phony Inauguration, Trump's 2nd Impeachment, a horrible year of pathetic "leadership" from every single elected official in Washington DC, a war in Eastern Europe - and NOW, at long last, a federal judge in Florida ends the mask tyranny with one simple ruling from her bench.
