All hat - still chattel?
I know the news cycle is pretty fast in the Twitterverse but when you consider all the ink and bits spilled over the antics of Rep. Rep. Frederica Wilson (Dumbass-FL) it makes you wonder, where did this bitch disappear to? One week she's all that anyone is talking about and now, poof, she's gone. I think Rex Tillerson might be responsible for the magic act the media performed in whooshing the rodeo clown off the national stage because his tweet distilled what was going through the mind of every sentient citizen of this great republic every time they saw the Gold Start widow story splash across their screen.
This tweet was in answer to some snarky question (since removed) about our Sec. of States former job as CEO of Exxon and the companies current dealings in the landlocked African nation of Chad and it's oil reserves. It helps if you know some humorous 5$ whore jokes that are commonly told in Texas but even without the resonance of this allusion the point is explicit and profound - who in their right mind would elect this woman to represent them in the United States Congress? More importantly, what kind of political party would push this woman UP the ladder of success to be in a position to even get a single vote? One lead by Tim Kaine, that's what. Florida's 24th congressional district has 745,862 people living in it and the best person Tim Kaine (and Debbie Wasserman Schultz after him) could find to "represent" them was this showboat? She's a hack and everyone knows it except Don Lemon who planted this #FakeNews story on CNN in collusion with All Hat Fred and dragged this poor widow through the mud. Team Trump hit the jackpot because all they had to do was call Rep. Wilson an liar and, boom, she's on the air for a week making a daily fool of herself and, by extension, the Democrat party. The MSM, oblivious as usual, just kept running loops of this cowgirl pontificating like a damn fool, talking racism and digging a psychic hole in the brain of America until, finally, the media+Democrats realized she was doing more harm to their brand than a kneeling football player. Thomas Wictor breaks it all down:
Or should I say almost all because there's something else in Rex's tweet that delivers a mighty blow - Chad is right next to Niger and there's a lot of black gold in that part of Africa.

07 January 2017, Sweetcrude, Lagos — Towards the end of the third quarter of 2016, the Federal Government gave the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC fresh thrust to intensify exploration activities in the country’s frontier basin, with specific concentration in the Chad basin having explored the region for some decades without any success in oil discovery.
You think Americans have trouble finding Aleppo on the map? Wait until you start talking about Diffa. Wut? Yes, there are terrorists in Africa - Boko Haram is the gang every American probably remembers from the mysterious #BringBackOurGirls campaign of 2014 (not that they were "our" girls but I get it) and the justification for putting boots on the ground (over 1,000 of them now - officially) in Niger. And there we will stay folks. Killing terrorists and watching over that oil for 100 years. Thanks Frederica for all of your efforts to get your constituent, Sgt. La David Johnson, deployed to Niger where he lost his life fighting over oil.

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

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

Who voted for this guy?

Who voted for this guy? It's been ten days since the results of the Maricopa County, Arizona ballot audit were released to the public and presented at a hearing held by the state senate. This exercise in democratic accountability had been going on for months and, if reports are to be believed, was completed well over a  month before the September 24th hearing where   overwhelming proof of an illegitimate election was presented to lawmakers . The audit showed multiple irregularities, fake ballots, duplicate counts, errors, omissions and egregious acts of sabotage and obstinance by the Maricopa County board of supervisors who did everything they could to withhold and destroy evidence of wrongdoing from the citizen sleuths. The misfeasance of Arizona's political leaders was clearly defined, shocking and (for some) beyond belief but somehow these facts were discovered, organized, packaged and suppressed for MONTHS by the Cyber Ninjas who were attempting to "get to the bottom&q
