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!!

Let’s Get Ready To Rumble

September 26, 2016

 

 

Well the first punches have been thrown in the series of three debates between Hillary and Donald, and I would have to call it Hillary by split decision.  Sadly, it didn’t have to be so.  The Donald had her on the ropes early, but failed to deliver the knockout punch that would have easily landed on her corrupt and exposed chin.

In the first half of the debate, Trump managed to corner Clinton on issues from her continuing e-mail saga to her numerous miserable failures on matters of state, to hers and Obama’s disastrous economic policies.  He sounded in control, reasonable, and possessed of a firm grasp of the facts.  Hillary’s mask-like and reptilian attempt at a smile betrayed how uncomfortable she was in the crosshairs, but then Trump began spewing repeated inanities that never hit home.

When Clinton mentioned a federal discrimination lawsuit that was brought against one of Trump’s rental properties in the early 70’s, Trump parried well initially by noting that several other entities were named in the suit, and that he settled without admitting guilt.  But this would have been a perfect moment to say, “Yes, a lawsuit was brought because not all of us have the FBI and the DOJ in our pockets.  Not all of us can have the Director of the FBI stand in front of the cameras for 20 minutes on July 5th detailing lie after lie, and malfeasance after malfeasance, and then refuse to indict.”  It was a perfect opportunity, but he allowed Hillary to get back to her corner unscathed.

When Hillary tried to tar Trump as sympathetic to Russia because of his implied relationship with Vladimir Putin, Trump should have said it was she who pressed the comically failed “reset button.”  When she mentioned Russian hackers, Trump should have pointed out that it was she who exposed government secrets with a private and illegal server, but he failed to thrust.

Clinton came off the ropes to land a few jabs when she mentioned Trump’s vague and nebulous position at the advent of the Iraq War, but The Donald counter-punched by rightly averring that it was her and Obama’s leadership that created the vacuum that birthed ISIS.  However, he had the perfect opening to mention how Obama referred to the terror outfit as the JV team, but he neglected to do so.  Debates such as these are always remembered in sound bites, and JV team would have gone a long way to attaching Clinton irredeemably to the savages that she helped create with feckless policy positions in Libya, Syria, and Iraq.  Trump also should have said that regardless of his positions on any of it, he was not the one in charge at the time, and his opinions at that time were not at all relevant.

As Clinton started waxing about the importance of working with Muslim countries to help defeat terrorism, Trump could have said Clinton would know all about working with Muslim countries as her Clinton Foundation has been taking money from them for years.  Is it a pay for play, or simply that she likes to consort with countries that subjugate, oppress, rape, and kill women, gays, Christians, and Muslim apostates—the very groups she purports to love and support?  Again, Clinton managed to rope-a-dope away from any serious Trump blows.

Finally, Clinton, in full hypocritical bloom, played the gender card, implying Trump was a name-calling misogynist.  Donald hinted that he wanted to say something, but he took the high road when he should have mentioned the elephant in the room.  He needed to speak of Hillary’s philandering, rapist, pedophile husband.  He needed to let the millennials know that while she talks a big game as a feminist, she was the point man (I know…the word point man is sexist!) in Slick Willy’s “bimbo patrol,” assailing and ruining the lives of that pig’s many accusers.  Alas, Trump beat the same drum ad nauseum about his myriad business successes, instead of going for the jugular.

Trump has to tread a fine line.  The pundits keep saying he has to come across as presidential, but he’s gotten this far by being himself and going on the attack.  In the next debate, he needs to work from body blows to attacking the head.  God knows with that sow’s obvious neurological issues, a head blow could put her on the canvas.

The Good Ship Obama

 

 

March 21, 2009

 

As if his scattershot and wholly ineffective handling of the economy wasn’t bad enough, the Messiah is being dealt some cold reality in international relations as well these days.

In a video directed to Iranian leaders, distributed to Iranian news outlets, and posted on the White House website, President Chamberlain….err…President Obama declared, “My administration is now committed to diplomacy that addresses the full range of issues before us.” On the Good Ship Obama, everything can be settled with chummy talk and a game of hoops.

 

But Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei responded with a hearty middle-finger salute during a speech in Mashhad while the crowd chanted, “Death to America.” It turns out Obama’s Muslim brethren aren’t so reasonable and misunderstood after all.

 

“He (Obama) insulted the Islamic Republic of Iran from the first day. If you are right that change has come, where is that change? What is the sign of that change? Make it clear for us what has changed,” Khameini said as he called for the United States to give up “unconditional support” for Israel and quit making claims that Iran is developing nuclear arms.

 

This presidential brush-off comes on the heels of Obama’s announcement that the U.S. hasn’t done a good job deciding who should be released from Guantanamo, the base our celebrity president vowed to close within one year with the explanation that it has been an “advertisement for anti-American sentiment.” Obama admitted that some of the prisoners released from the holding center have rejoined terrorist groups. With Russian President Vladimir Putin rattling his sabers as well, Obama is going to have a lot on his plate, and now we’ll see if he can handle things any better than his predecessor whom everyone so reviled.

 

George Bush was a detestable, crooked, and absolutely horrible president, but I always had to laugh at the presumption that his being president is why the world hated us. The world hates us because they can’t be us, and Obama and his pie-in-the-sky followers have still to learn that no amount of sweet talk is going to change that.

 

“Speak softly and carry a big stick,” Theodore Roosevelt once said. Let’s hope that message gets through to the Messiah and his Kumbaya-singing acolytes.

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.
