From my friend Phil.

A friend told me about his trip out with his grandson. This is what he said. “Last week, I took my grandchildren to a restaurant. My 6 year-old grandson asked if he could say grace.”

As we bowed our heads he said, “God is good, God is great. Thank you for the food and I would thank you even more if Grandpa gets us ice cream for dessert. And liberty, peace & justice for all. Amen!”

Along with the laughter and nodding of heads from the other customers nearby, I heard a woman at the next table remark, “That’s what’s wrong with this country. Kids today don’t even know how to pray. Asking God for ice cream! Why — I never!”

Hearing this, my grandson burst into tears and asked me, “Did I do it wrong Grandpa? Is God mad at me?”

After I assured him that he had done a terrific job and that God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly gentleman approached the table. He winked at my grandson and said, “I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer.” “Really?” my grandson asked.

“Cross my heart,” the man replied. Then, in a theatrical whisper, he added (indicating the woman whose remark had started this whole thing), “Too bad she never asks God for ice cream. A little ice cream is sometimes good for the soul.”

Naturally, I bought my grandchildren ice cream at the end of the meal My grandson stared at his ice cream for a moment, and then he did something I will remember the rest of my life. He picked up his sundae and, without a word, walked over and placed it in front of the woman.

With a big smile he looked her in the eye and told her, “Here ma’am, this is for you, you grouchy old bitch. You must be a Democrat, shove it up your ass and cool off !”

Kinda brings a tear to your eye, doesn’t it?

I still play Machine Head a lot. Jon Lord is dead. Ian Gillan has lost his voice. So many of the great ones are going.

Paul RINO is embarrassed by Trump

The ultimate referee of this fight will be Lachlan Murdoch. In recent months, Rupert’s oldest son has been holding strategy conversations with Fox executives and anchors about how Fox News should prepare for life after Trump. Among the powerful voices advising Lachlan that Fox should decisively break with the president is former House speaker Paul Ryan, who joined the Fox board in March. “Paul is embarrassed about Trump and now he has the power to do something about it,” an executive who’s spoken with Ryan told me. (Ryan did not return a call seeking comment.) But a person more sympathetic to Trump has told Lachlan that Fox should remain loyal to Trump’s supporters, even if the network has to break from the man.

Well, Paul, real conservatives are embarrassed by you you worthless RINO. Here’s your award.

It’s the new battle cry of the Dimocrat Party. Impeach Kavanaugh! Impeach Trump! And this time we’ve got him with Ukrainegate.

Yep! Crank up the Acme Impeachment machine.

Civil rights icon Racist pig John Lewis got up on the House floor the other day and in a fiery and sputtering (don’t get in front of Lewis when he’s sputtering unless you have an umbrella) speech demanded that Trump be impeached. Lewis thinks Trump is an illegitimate president.

What is it about African politicians in Georgia refusing to accept the results of an election? No Abrams Tank, you are not governor of Georgia.

Not to be outdone, the other Georgia African members in the House chimed in. Hank “Guam is gonna tip over” Johnson is demanding impeachment.

David Scott is demanding impeachment.

Sanford Bishop, the sanest member of the Georgia African delegation is demanding impeachment.

Lucy McBath is undecided. Prolly because she ran as a “moderate” Dimocrat in a Republican leaning district. Just for the record, there is no longer any such thing as a moderate Dimocrat just like there is no such thing as a moderate Moslem.

I wonder if Lucy is gonna campaign like Claire McCaskill did in Missouri. In one of her ads she had two dudes talking and they said that McCaskill wasn’t one of those crazy Dimocrats, which pissed off all of the crazy Dimocrats in Missouri. Missouri saw through her and knew she was one of those crazy Dimocrats.

Lucy is gonna try to convince voters in her district (which I live in) that she’s not a crazy Dimocrat but if she votes for impeachment, prolly under pressure from the Congressional African Caucus, she might lose her seat.

Please, Republicans, don’t let Karen Handel run. She’s a loser.

And speaking of crazy Dimocrats, whee is Mad Maxipad Waters?

Update: Evidently Lucy McBath has decided she doesn’t want to be reelected and has joined the other Georgia Africans in voting for impeachment.

Ron’s take.

Since I see no reason to waste time diggin into what Biden’s kid did, or Joe his-self did, or Giuliani did, or Trump did in regard to the scandal du jour over Ukraine political chicanery, I can’t claim to fully understand what — if anything — happened that we oughta be concerned about.

Here’s how it looks to me: Zelensky and some other Ukrainian officials tried to share with the current US gummint a bit of evidence of shady dealings by members of the previous US administration (i.e., Obama/Biden/Clinton/Kerry) along with annoying meddling by the DNC.

Each time they tried to turn over documents or records to US officials, they were stonewalled and frustrated by residual Obama jammers in both State and Justice Departments.

Some dipwad anti-Trumper in the WH heard about it and tried to get his 15 minutes of notoriety by saying DJT was involved somehow, despite the fact that the entire foofarah originated with Biden’s kid and Joe himself backing the kid up since gigabucks were involved. I’m not sure how deeply DingleBarry was involved; he may have been more interested in his wife’s prostate surgery than what the Bidens were up to.

Ass use y’all, the propaganda arm of the DNC ran with the uncorroborated gossip even though the leak source had no direct personal knowledge of WTF actually went down, when, where, and by whom.

Just ‘nuther case of the MSM slingin home-made shit at the political bulletin board in hopes some of it might stick. Man . . . I’d really like for someone from the left to ‘splain to me how impeaching Trump would make the country better, stronger, richer, safer . . . . . . .

I mean, JHC — the Dems’ TDS has become a full-blown obsession focused on impeachment, making them unable to differentiate between gossip and history, to separate rumor from reality, to recognize their own sins on their own Dorian Grey portraits in the private room.

It’s as if Nadler and Waters and Schiff and the rest of the Resistance are on an endorphin rush, a hormone high, a dopamine trip. They‘re willing to trade a successful economy for a recession just to get even with him for keeping HRC away from that desk in the Oval Office.

To that crowd, revenge has become an opioid, a raison d’etre, an all-consuming need to oust Donald J. Trump regardless of what it costs in terms of law, ethics, morals, trade, economy, degradation of cities, abandonment of border security, or even personal reputation.

Determination can be a good thing, giving strength and sharpening focus for accomplishing projects. But when it becomes obsession, it can distract and detract energy and skills needed for doing the job carefully, thoroughly, accurately, legally.

Too many of them loathe Trump to a fatal fault. They’ve nourished that loathing into closed-minded fanaticism willing to use innuendo, lies, false documents, and abuse of office to promote hatred and eventual violence, and they preach to the historically illiterate, misinformed, misled, radical ignoranti for their votes.

As I said not long ago, today’s illiterate are not people who cannot understand words, who cannot interpret sentences, who cannot grasp the thesis of an essay or article . . . they are people so conditioned, so brainwashed, so catechized that they simply cannot unlearn the lies and propaganda and false doctrine they’ve become addicted to.

Sometimes it seems that the entire raison d’etre for education, for mainstream media, for late-nite entertainment is to instill knee-jerk rejection responses to anything endorsed by anyone more than a single step right of far left ideology.

As Goebbels, Schickelgruber, Dzhugashvili, Mao Zedong, Saddam Hussein, every Muslim cleric with an audience of more than one, Hillary Rodham, and Dingle Barry made perfectly clear in their own times – if the lie is big enough and told often enough with conviction, it will become reality to the masses.

Today’s modern media, including Facebook and Twitter, are transforming ordinary people into something I read about recently, a “bewildered herd” of misled, brainwashed bots totally dependent upon touchscreens and a giant entitlement apparatus which feeds both their bodies and their minds with garbage, much of it recycled.

Those who operate the system, the self-appointed elites, consider 99% of us too stupid and inept to make our own decisions about anything without screwing up the system, so we have to be manipulated, even intimidated, into doing what THEY want.

And while polls and pundits roll out the convenient “consensus” and daily “analysis” FOR us, they neglect to mention that what they’re feeding us is opinions, but opinions don’t always equate to truth. And THAT is why the 2nd Amendment is crucial to our survival as a republic.

In the meantime, the three separate but equal and independent branches of US government have morphed into the Investigation Department (which is bicameral, with an Impeachment section and a Soundbyte Squad), the Supreme Corpse (where aging magistrates go to die), and the End-Run-Around-The-Constitution Task Force, where the CEO spends his first term campaigning for re-election and his second in scheduling potus-emeritus appearances at 6 figures a pop.

People like Schiff, Nadler, Waters, Wilson, Green . . . they seem to forget soon after their elections that they were elected . . . appointed . . . not consecrated or annointed. They manage to get into the public’s eye, but then all they do is irritate it.

Politics is powered by giant windbags. It has ruined more ethics, morals, and good intentions than women, booze, and gambling combined. Honest, patriotic, trustworthy young people go into politics with a fine future ahead of them only to find that they suddenly have a criminal past. As soon as a guy begins to run for office, he finds that he often has to run for cover.

So I caught a little snippet of Greta Thunberg scolding the world at the UN. All I could think of is what kind of monsters would brainwash a sixteen year old girl and turn her into a bitter teenager thinking the world will end in ten years? What kind of people would shatter the hopes and dreams of a young girl? Who does that to children?

Here is a girl who is on the verge of adulthood and should have hopes and dreams of a fine future but has had her reality warped by rat bastard commies. WTF is wrong with her parents? What kind of parents would allow their child to be used as a prop this way. They are guilty of child abuse.

What is gonna happen to poor Greta when she turns twenty-eight and realizes that the world is not coming to an end and that she was filled with bullshit by rat bastard commies and by her parents?

By that time the rat bastard commies will have discarded her like a used tampon and they’ll have found some other prop.

Remember fifteen years ago Pope Albert I of the Church of AGW told us that in ten years we would be at the point of no return unless we did sumpin’ drastic. So far none of the pope’s predictions have come to pass. Florida is not underwater.

Now the goalposts have been moved, like they always are by the AGW crowd, and we have twelve years. In twelve years they’ll have moved the goalposts again.

Meanwhile, poor Greta thinks the world will come to an end in twelve years. The rat bastard commies have taken what should be a sweet young girl and turned her into a bitter little scold. And her parents have been complicit in this. If Pumpman were alive I know what he would be saying, “They should be dragged off and shot!”

This is child abuse pure and simple and her parents should be ashamed of themselves.

Since they live in Sweden, they should be more concerned of a Moslem immigrant raping and killing their daughter than they should be of global warming climate change.

“The planet is OK. It’s the people who are fucked up.” – George Carlin.

So the indoctrinated brainwashed little snowflakes stayed home from school on Friday. They were striking against global warming climate change. Coincidentally, I had lunch with an old friend on Friday and he’s gone over to the dark side. He told me that the last five years are the warmest on record. Sad.

Anyhoo, I came across this story about an Australian broadcaster who had a few choice words for these brats.

Alan Jones, an Australian broadcaster for Sky News had some choice words for students taking part in the climate protests that occurred on Friday, which featured these students ditching school in order to push the “we’re all going to die” narrative so beloved by the church of climate change.

Jones had a harsh reality check for these students, who he noted demand better action by people and government in the name of saving the environment (Jones calls it a “hoax”) while they themselves refuse to give up their own cushy lifestyles. His words came in the form of a letter which Jones said he might send to Al Gore.

“It says this: To all the school kids going on strike for climate change, you’re the first generation who have required air conditioning in every room. You want TV in every room, and your classes are all computerized. You spend all day and night on electronic devices,” said Jones

“More than ever, you don’t walk or ride bikes to school,” he continued, “but you arrive in caravans of private cars that choke suburban roads and worsen rush hour traffic.”

“You’re the biggest consumer of manufactured goods ever, and update perfectly good expensive luxury items to stay trendy,” said Jones. “Your entertainment comes from electric devices. Furthermore, the people driving your protests are the same people who insist on artificially inflating the population growth through immigration which increases the need for energy, manufacturing and transport.”

“The more people we have, the more forest and bushland we clear, the more of the environment that’s destroyed” continued Jones.

It was here that the letter writer proposed a solution, and Jones read it with clear satisfaction.

“How about this,” said Jones, “tell your teacher to turn off the air-con, walk or ride to school, switch off your devices and read a book, make a sandwich instead of buying manufactured fast food.”

“But none of this will happen because, the piece says, you’re selfish, badly educated, virtue-signaling little turds inspired by the adults around you who crave a feeling of having a noble cause while they indulge themselves in western luxury and unprecedented quality of life. The piece ends by saying wake up, grow up, and shut up until you’re sure of the facts before protesting.”
