And Just Why Does James Comey Warrant a Motorcade?

May 9, 2017

 

Donald, I LOVE YOU!!!  Just when you start to lose me with your feeble health insurance bill and your budget capitulation on The Wall, you go to your long suit and make Democratic/Progressive heads explode!!!  The Donald’s firing of James Comey was long overdue—the former FBI Director is an egotistical, waffling, and incompetent Washington hack whose list of failures and oversights is long–but if I’d had any idea how the Left would foam at the mouth and wet their pants, I would have stocked up on popcorn days ago and settled into my recliner to watch the show.

Surfing the cable landscape was never so much fun as it was tonight watching Lawrence O’Donnell pull the strings of his dour and predictable guests who gasped that Comey’s dismissal signaled the end of the Union.  And it was sheer delight watching Muff Dive Maddow take shots at the only President who has ever had the nuts to bypass the dead in the water mainstream media and fight back on his own terms.  Never mind that for months Democrats have been calling for Comey’s head because, after all, it was he that caused Coattails Hillary to burp up the biggest slam dunk of all elections. Tonight, it was scandalous that Comey was given the heave-ho, presumably at the behest of Vladimir Putin, or birthers, or deplorables, or racists, or fascists, or whoever happens to be currently hiding under the beds of the left-wing scum infesting our nation.

O’Donnell employed dreary Neera Tanden to lament this broadside on our Constitution, while David Frum, who will probably change his mind tomorrow on this highly warranted firing, opined that this “was an attack on the integrity—not just of law enforcement—but of our defense against a foreign cyberattack on the processes of American democracy.”  WHEW!!  Got all that?  Good thing Frum was at happy hour when Hillary was selling off our uranium assets to the Russians for a cool $145 million and Obama was telling former Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, “This is my last election…after my election, I’ll have more flexibility.”  Russian ties, indeed!

O’Donnell, for his part, knew the Comey firing was serious potatoes when he learned that “Camera Time” Chuck Schumer called it a Trump cover-up and was insisting that all members of the Senate be seated tomorrow morning at 9 am for what we can only guess will be another auto-erotic Schumer grandstanding.  After all, there must be momentous work to be done if the liars and thieves that do our country’s business are actually supposed to show up to work on time.  Momentous enough that even Brian Williams came home from his rigorous combat duty to lambaste the President.

So troubling was Comey’s dismissal that the various networks and cable outlets zeroed in on the erstwhile director as he rode a heavy motorcade down the Los Angeles freeways and then left LAX on a private plane.  None of the crack journalists, who stand up for the little guy, after all, bothered to speculate on why an FBI director warrants a full motorcade and a private jet.  Then again, they haven’t lost a lot of sleep over their savior Obama chalking up a $400,000 windfall for a speech to the Wall Street “fat cats” he spent eight years demonizing, or another $30,000 A MINUTE (that’s $3 million) for 100 minutes of sermonizing in Italy last week.  It’s 1789 France all over again with the gulf between the haves and the have-nots widening by the day as our mainstream media pretends to care while looking the other way and tilting at windmills involving Russian boogeymen, transgender bathrooms, and Play-doh at exam time for our effete millennials.

Keep a drainin’ the swamp, Donald!!

We’ll Soon See if Barack Goes BRRR–AAA–CCCKKKK!

March 14, 2009

 

You can call Joe Biden a lot of things: loudmouth, loose cannon, plagiarizer. Now add prescient to the list. CNN reported today that Russia’s Interfax news agency has announced its interest in using Cuban airfields during patrol missions of its strategic bombers. Just as Biden predicted during the campaign at a speech in Seattle, we may be seeing the “major international crisis” that he expected to test the fortitude of our new Commander-in-Appeasement, Barack Obama.

“There are four or five airfields in Cuba with 4,000-meter-long runways, which absolutely suit us,” Maj. Gen. Anatoly Zhikharev told Interfax.

Zhikharev, who is the chief of staff of the Russian Air Force’s long-range aviation, said, “If the two chiefs of state display such a political will, we are ready to fly there.”

Hopefully Barack will have fulfilled his promise of closing Guantanamo by the time the Russians arrive—the base will make suitable quarters for the Cossacks, whom Barack will, no doubt, eagerly welcome in his new global community.

“Mark my words, it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy,” Biden said back in October. “The world is looking. We’re about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Remember I said it standing here . . . we’re gonna have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.”

So here we have it. As so often happens, history is repeating itself, and we’re going to soon see if our new prez has the gumption to go nose-to-nose with Vladimir Putin, who has been busy rebuilding the Soviet empire by slapping down Chechen rebels and invading Georgia while Obama has been tilting at windmills. Presumably, Putin won’t agree to a game of H-O-R-S-E to negotiate matters, and the silk-talking Obama will have to finally use some tough rhetoric to conciliate the potentially disastrous engagement. Of course, we can always use Hillary, our new Secretary of State, as the point man. We’ll surely get a tough stance from the woman who didn’t have the balls to call out her husband when he was getting hummers in the Oval Office. God forbid, we may even find ourselves wishing for the good ol’ days when “W” was running the ranch.

But wait…it gets better. Zhikharev also told Interfax that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has offered a military airfield on La Orchila island as a temporary base for Russian strategic bombers.

“If a relevant political decision is made, this is possible,” he said, according to Interfax. Zhikharev said he visited La Orchila in 2008 and can confirm that with minor reconstruction, the airfield owned by a local naval base can accept fully-loaded Russian strategic bombers.

Let’s get Sean Penn and Susan Sarandon on that one, Mr. President. Penn’s jump shot is weak, and Sarandon is iffy with her back to the basket, but we know they can both go to their left. The fun is about to begin…I’ll take Putin laying the points.
