My Fellow Americans, Our Long National Nightmare is Over!

January 20, 2017

 

As Marine One soared into the sky this afternoon, so too did my spirits at the notion that the United States of America is now in the hands of a capable person who will put the country first and not pander to every low-rent, fringe group that wants to assault our traditions, take away our rights, and demand its own bathrooms.  Obama was whisked away, and has, at long last, taken his last free ride on the tax-payer funded transportation that he has so long abused, gallivanting about the palatial spreads of his well-heeled donors and flitting about the golf courses of our great country, all the while lecturing (my could he lecture!) the unwashed masses about their carbon footprints.

‘Tis a great day, indeed.  The most spiteful, vindictive, dishonest, divisive, condescending, and anti-American president we’ve ever had is now relegated to the dustbin of Oval Office failures.  History will probably treat him kindly as it is written largely by the mendacious left-wing media that drools over him–and believes that electing a first black, female, or transgender president is more important than actual ability–but the rest of us know better.

Obama spoke of hope and change, transforming the country, enacting Obamacare and carbon trade-offs, and welcoming third-world refugees that want to harm us, but those policies were in the process of being reversed even as the anointed one lifted off into the Washington, D.C. sky.  Obama’s real legacy was on full display mere blocks from where President Trump was being sworn in.  It was there that the unemployed crybabies, sore losers, snowflakes, racists, and rioters that were always Obama’s core constituency threw rocks at police, broke windows, vandalized cars, started fires, and channeled the sociopathic and violent behavior that their hateful savior always encouraged.  Behold the tolerance of the left!!

The vainglorious Obama, who did his level best to trip up Trump and kick over the Monopoly board with his petty, last-minute executive actions, is now gone, hopefully to never return in any meaningful way other than to serve as the yardstick for utter failure.

In some aspects, however, it was business as usual.  The lying left-wing media, most notably CNN and MSNBC, was still doing what it does best:  shilling for the Democrats and trying to piss on Trump’s parade.  CNN showed the rioters alongside a graphic that said, “The Inauguration of Donald Trump,” and “Protesters, Police Clash Blocks from Parade Route.”  The obvious and cheap attempt to conflate Trump with violence has fallen flat as everyone has seen with their own eyes which side always initiates the violence and vitriol.  One CNN talking head spoke of “civil disobedience,” clearly displaying, at once, not only his lack of journalistic integrity, but his ignorance of the meaning of the word “civil.”

Meanwhile, over at MSNBC, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, and Brian Williams, still in the dark about the meaning of November’s election, denigrated large swaths of the American people and chortled about what they perceived to be Trump’s inability to manage the organization of the Republican convention or his own inaugural parade.  What they didn’t mention was that Trump swamped them at the polls.

Brian Williams huffed that the parade, which featured a small phalanx of tractors, was “part tractor pull”, a haughty and dismissive repudiation of the people who don’t lie about being shot at in combat, but instead roll up their sleeves and go to work every morning.  Matthews, as the Trump family walked onto the review stand, intoned that “They look like the Romanovs,” which spoken by anyone but an accredited left-wing loon would be deemed Russophobic and hateful by those exactly like Matthews.  I won’t give Matthews credit for being smart enough to make that reference as a nod to the  manufactured “Russian meddling” that Hillary and her bootlickers are using as their most recent excuse for her November ass-kicking.

Maddow continued her “Trump illegitimacy” campaign by noting that the new president is employing his son-in-law Jared Kushner as an adviser, in what Maddow perceives to be a violation of nepotism laws.  “Well he is a licensed real estate agent,” Maddow sneered in trying to malign Kushner’s lack of political experience.  She and her clueless ilk still don’t understand that political lifers are precisely the reason Trump won the election.  But the richest irony came from the fact that literally seconds before her Kushner smear, Maddow and her band of unmerry men were waxing rhapsodic about Democratic icon John Kennedy who—wait for it—hired his brother to be Attorney General!!

Ah, great days are ahead.  The country has been saved, at least for the moment, from the nasty, silence-the-opposition-at-any-cost Democrats, and the rest of us can look forward to four years of teeth-gnashing and caterwauling from Obama and Hillary’s dim-witted followers.  We, the people, have seized back the reins, and tonight the White House won’t be lit up in rainbow colors, but in the colors of the good ol’ Red, White, and Blue!

Blogging for Blago

To borrow a phrase still floating amidst the detritus of the interminable and bloated presidential campaign….I have officially flip-flopped! I am now firmly and proudly in Rod Blagojevich’s corner! I just got finished watching his interview with Fox News’ Glenn Beck, and I’m impressed.

 

Now don’t misunderstand me, Blago is as dirty and as crooked as the day is long, but he has done something that most other Democrats, including the recently-elected sainted one, wouldn’t dare do: He went into enemy territory and answered every question Beck posed, forthrightly and with humor. I may not have liked all his answers, but at least he faced the fire.

 

This show of heresy alone, his acts of malfeasance aside, will probably get Blagojevich drummed from the political system…the good ol’ boy network certainly can’t sit back and do nothing when one of theirs deigns to fields tough questions. It reflects poorly on the 535 dissemblers in the Capitol, the thieves and liars in the White House, and the corrupt governors across the nation.

 

The Messiah, to his credit, did do an interview with Bill O’Reilly, but beyond that, he spent his seemingly decade-long campaign (remember when he wasn’t going to run for president until he completed his term in the Senate?) going into comfortable environments, reading scripts, and fielding softball questions from hard-hitters like Oprah Winfrey, David Letterman, Jon Stewart, Ellen DeGeneres, Keith Olbermann, and Chris Matthews.

 

John McCain, of whom I’m no fan by any stretch, at least had the sack to go places where he knew the cards were stacked against him. He made appearances on the Daily Show, the Colbert Report, David Letterman, Chris Matthews, and The View. Sarah Palin was ritually abused by the press, especially during her sandbag interview with Katie Couric. Imagine being made to look stupid by Katie Couric…the mind reels. But at least Palin bucked up and showed up.

 

That brings me back to Blagojevich. Like him or hate him, he answered Beck’s questions. Though he refused to appear at his own impeachment proceedings in the Illinois senate, I’m confident, after seeing his arrogance up close on Beck’s show, that he skipped the impeachment hearing out of hubris, not fear.

 

As this country is far beyond ever hoping for an honest politician, at least give me one with balls who will spit in the face of his sanctimonious brethren. Dare I say it…Blago for Prez in 2012!!

Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

And so Premier Obama’s selling out of America continues apace. After a mere week in office, Obama chose the Arabic TV network Al-Arabiya for his first formal interview as “president.” Like a modern-day Neville Chamberlain, Obama marches down the path of appeasement, declaring, “that the same respect and partnership that America had with the Muslim world as recently as 20 or 30 years ago, there’s no reason why we can’t restore that.” Obama is referring, no doubt, to those halcyon days of 30 years ago when Iran took American hostages and held them for 444 days. Obama’s “Peace For Our Time” speech can’t be far behind, so now we may all “go home and sleep quietly in [our] beds”!

 

During his chat with the enemy, Obama talked about growing up in Indonesia and having Muslim relatives. Is this the same Obama who vociferously abnegated his Muslim ties during his presidential campaign? The same Obama who embraced Christian values while apparently wearing earmuffs at the sermons of Reverend Jeremiah Wright? The same Obama who had Muslims removed from behind his lectern during a June, 2008, speech, so as not to alienate voters?

 

The winds of change are blowing my hair back. Our new Treasury Secretary, Timothy F. Geithner, is a tax cheat whose domestic help has visa issues. The nominee for Deputy Defense Secretary, William J. Lynn III, is a long-time registered lobbyist for Raytheon, one of the military’s top defense contractors. Lynn will be granted an “ethics waiver” to allow him to pursue the nomination. All this, one day after the Messiah issued new ethics rules for his administration. Presumably, Geithner and Lynn can at least hit mid-range jump shots and defend the 3-on-2 fast break, ostensibly the only requirements necessary to be on Obama’s staff.

 

To quote Pete Townshend, “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.” But what is so dismaying is the blind eye turned to the Premier’s machinations. The American media, like so many Jonestown cultists, continue to make excuses and celebrate this Chicago-style politician who wants to close Guantanamo–effectively making U.S. citizens out of men sworn to kill Americans–and granted interviews with those who fly planes into our buildings. With all respect to Chris Matthews, the only thrill I feel going up my leg is that of Obama pissing on it as he tells me it’s raining.
