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.

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.

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.

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
