The clown horn toots!

There really is nothing quite so entertaining as a feud between real estate moguls - other industries have their egomaniacal, petty, overpaid titans (Music, Fashion, Banking, etc.) but there's something about RE that attracts a certain kind of personality - touchy, conniving, shameless and funny. So the back and forth between The Donald and Mort Zuckerman has been a highlight of this election season. And as one might expect, Mort Z's dirty paper the New York Daily News gave a Bronx cheer to the Elvis from Queens and his GOP acceptance speech - using a clown to represent the paper,


The clown horn toots! Honestly, there's almost a KOTCB law suit in this somewhere, but putting that aside, let me ring the clown bell at this flag draped paint-stain and his objections point by point:

  1. Nationwide, violent crime is actually at its lowest point since 1970 according to the FBI - Great news America, only 1,197,987  violent crimes and only 14,249 murders. Nothing to get upset about - just another day in the land of the free. BTW, 1970 was a pretty violent year.
  2. Murders in Washington, D.C., have actually decreased by 9% in the last calendar year - Tell that to Seth Rich, oops, you can't because he's dead - I wonder who opened up that port on the DNC server for WikiLeaks hackers?
  3. Islamic State of Iraq was officially established in 2006 - Then what the fuck were we thinking when we pulled all of our troops out of Iraq in 2011. Did someone in the State Dept. think these guys would just go away once the US left?
  4. Libya and Egypt - The Daily News makes the point that things were not great in Libya under the cross dressing despot named al-Gaddafi or his neighbor Egypt under pharaoh Mubarak. Okay. How about now? Better of worse?
  5. Taxes - The Daily News looks at the OECD spread sheet here and lies, lies and lies some more. First, they probably only consider federal tax which is only a portion of the taxes that most tax paying Americans are saddled with, but also fails to admit the fact that 50% of the population pays no federal income tax - so naturally, once averaged the tax burden appears to be low. A lie, within a lie, within a lie.
  6. Iran Deal and nukes - Iran is going to build a nuclear weapon. Period. Obama made it easier for them to do it, but all the EU countries were demanding it so, being the globalist that he is, he caved. Now the Europeans can make Billion Euro trade deals with the Supreme Leader. If America is lucky, Iran will test their first strike capability on Rome or Seville instead of NYC. 
I don't know what Trump did to Zuck over the years - probably screwed him on some RE project or won a coveted bid for a property or had an affair with his wife (or even worse, his mistress) but whatever it was the animosity runs deep. A clown is a good mascot for his paper (and the press in general) and the Keeper of the Clown Bell is ringing loud and ringing often for him.

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...
