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...

The Pop-Tarts Bowl: Frauds v. Fakers

In the Techno-Fascist Imperium the "Holidays" festivities start on Columbus Day, when the Halloween candy pops up, and end New Years Day with college football Bowl games, black-eyed peas and collard greens. To be clear, the Imperium doesn't celebrate Columbus Day, au contraire, the Indigenous Peoples' Day psyop has been pushed hard by the IC for the past 50 years of failure but the candy... THE CANDY. This year's IPD got turned up to eleven when the colonizers of America's 51st state got kidnapped, raped and murdered by some indigenous maniacs on Sukkot 10/7 and, as a result, soured the festive '23 Holiday mood. Hey, we soldiered on, as it were, and kept on celebrating while the world burned: Halloween - Big for children and weirdos. Thanksgiving - Focus on God, country and family. Hannukkah - Jewish assimilation. Xmas - Santa Claus and gifts. Kwanzaa - Black Lives Matter. I'd call them Happy Holidays if it wasn't  a neo-Nazi dog whistle  to vocal...

Summer of the Jackals

In the spring of 2021 I had a near death experience when my Chevy Silverado loaded with 30 cases of wine was rear-ended at 50mph  by a young lady who was texting-while-driving at 9:30 AM. Her Mercedes sedan flashed in my driver side mirror a moment before impact and that microsecond of awareness gave me just enough time to pull my foot off the break and jam the gas so when she plowed into my trailer hitch the impact met no resistance and launched my truck across the road and into the woods. I had stopped in the road, left blinker signaling, waiting for an oncoming pickup truck to pass and, by the grace of God, it did pass me just as the distracted driver in the mirror slammed into my flashing taillight. Everyone walked away from the crash with no serious injury but if the impact had transpired 2 seconds earlier it would have been a “Road Warrior” bloodbath of terror and death. When I stepped out of my vehicle and looked through the roadside trees I had miraculously missed hitting i...
