How to Make America Great Again

through the looking glass
This is how it's done.

Trump SOU was strong and I have to say that watching the POTUS announced to the joint session by the Sargent at Arms and seeing the Elvis from Queens walk into the chamber left me momentarily shocked and (still) in awe. Dude, that's Trump! Donald Trump is the President of the United States of America!!! Are you kidding me?

Many high points but I loved the most how he took the "Dreamers" language away from the Dems and will now beat them over the head with it forever. Truly a savant when it comes to media manipulation and branding - The journalists who cover this stuff are baffled and shellshocked because whatever narrative they create to defeat him will, at exactly the right moment, get ripped from their very own lips and crammed back down their throat. Examples - #FakeNews, Steve Bannon, Sexual Misconduct, Personal Wealth, The Wall, Bad Language, Racism, Russia, Rule of Law, Abortion = feminism, Black unemployment, Homophobia - on this last one I can’t help but think back on a moment that blew my mind and woke me, as if I wasn’t already woke, to Trumps cunning and ruthlessness. It was a Today Show interview that Matt Lauer (of all people) was performing (there’s no other word for it) on The Donald and trying to trip him up, smear him, cause controversy during the election campaign - must have been summer because the whole family, Melania and the kids were part of the interview outside in Rock Center. Controversy swirled about the North Carolina law banning tranny’s from using the girls bathroom and Matt must have thought he was going to strike gold by asking the Elvis from Queens what he thought of the issue. Trump brushed it off saying something to the effect, “I think people should be allowed to go wherever they want to go.” i.e. I’m not running for president to decide the transgender bathroom issue and as far as I’m concerned its a ginned up controversy by activists and the press used to smear Christians and other conservatives as bigots (which Trump is not). Matt L. couldn’t let it go, thinking that Trump's foot was firmly in the trap, he pressed the nominee asking, “So if Caitlyn Jenner were to walk into Trump tower today and ask to use the women’s bathroom you’d have no problem with that?” And Trump tossed it right back in his face - “No problem at all, people should go where they feel comfortable.” I’m thinking to myself, if Bruce Jenner walked into Trump Tower and asked to use the bathroom, Trump would wisk him/her up to the penthouse in his private elevator so that (s)he might sit upon the proprietors golden throne and relax. Trump couldn’t care less and nobody else cares either except for these journalists with a hidden agenda. Lauer was flummoxed and didn’t know what to say - are you going to keep beating this dead horse? Did DJT take a hit among his NC base for not giving a shit about the bathroom controversy? - no. He won the state on Nov 8th and the rest is history - Trump's DOJ dropped all these transgender inspired federal regulations and law suites and the “problem” is solved.

He does it to them over and over and over again - still, they never learn. They never learn anything, which is what you can count on - it's how you Make America Great Again.

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

A Apolitical Blues

Well my telephone was ringing, and they told me it was chairman Mao. You got to tell him anything 'cause I just don't want to talk to him now. According to the brilliant troubadour Lowell George the Apolitical Blues are " the meanest blues of all" and who am I to disagree with this soul man now after all these years of living by his maxim.  I first heard the song bursting from the 1972 vinyl of Little Feat's Alt-Rock-Country masterpiece "Sailin' Shoes" in the second story bedroom of my friend John's older brother Edie who, being about 3 years our senior, was instructing us on the importance of good music. This was circa 1975 and a formative time for my musical taste and overall aesthetic which, for better or worse, infuses every aspect of my existence including the KOTCB blog so a debt is owed this unforgettable "older brother" now that  he has shuffled off this mortal coil  and left us with smoky memories.
