So Dimocrats Mayor Wilhelm and Governor John Bel Edwards are telling everyone not to look back at their incompetence and instead look forward. Meanwhile Dimocrats are telling everyone to look back at Trump’s incompetence.

Remember, Mayor Wilhelm, back when the incompetent Trump was stopping flights from China was telling New Yorkers to go out and mingle. His health commissioner told people to attend the Chinese New Year parade. New York now leads the country in Kung Flu cases and deaths. As I write this the cases are currently at 138,163 and deaths at 5489. No wonder Mayor Wilhelm doesn’t want anyone looking back. He is a maroon. You New Yorkers were maroons to have elected him not once but twice. You boo Trump but he is doing more for New York than Mayor Wilhelm.

Down in Louisiana, we have another hot spot for the Kung Flu. The mayor of Nawlins, LaToya Cantrell is blaming Trump for not telling her to cancel Mardi Gras. Do you really think that she would have cancelled Mardi Gras? She’s an African Dimocrat and would not have listened to Trump because he’s a racist.

No wonder the Dimocrat governor, John Bel Edwards is telling people not to look back but forward. Looking back only exposes the incompetence of Dimocrat politicians, yannow, how they opposed Trump’s closing our borders to China because it was xenophobic. But just you wait, they will soon be convening committees in the House to investigate Trump and try to impeach him because he didn’t close our borders sooner, something they opposed.

Don’t look back my ass! At least it gives me an excuse to post a Boston song.

Yannow the joke about the end of the world and the New York Slimes (Motto: All the Fake News that’s fit to print) headline, World Ending, Women and Minorities Hardest Hit. It turns out that it fits for the Kung Flu but in this case it’s The Detroit News. Thanks to Quiller for the link.

Michigan’s COVID-19 cases, deaths hit blacks disproportionately

Lansing — At least 40% of those killed by the novel coronavirus in Michigan so far are black, a percentage that far exceeds the proportion of African Americans in the Detroit region and state.

See. The Kung Flu is racist!

The first statewide release of mortality by race in Michigan, among the first in the nation, suggests that the actual percentage of blacks killed could be significantly higher — the race of nearly a third killed has yet to be disclosed.

In Michigan, just 14% of the population is black. And while the coronavirus outbreak has been centered in Metro Detroit, African Americans make up less than a quarter of the six-county metropolitan area.

Michigan’s death toll climbed to 417 on Thursday and total cases topped 10,000. Hard-hit Detroit, a majority-black city, has 97 fatalities, but predominantly white Oakland County has 119 deaths.

But let’s focus on the African deaths because African lives matter or something like that.

“The numbers don’t lie,” said state Rep. Tyrone Carter, D-Detroit. “It reinforces what I am seeing in the city of Detroit.”

The statistics are alarming but not surprising, said Carter, who is black and recovering from COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus.

Yep! The Kung Flu be killing dem Africans. But why do you think that is?

[…]

Health experts have warned that African American populations would be more susceptible to the most severe cases of the disease because of the predominance of underlying health conditions in the population. However, it was not widely predicted that blacks would be more likely to contract and die in such disproportionate numbers.

Have you looked at the African population in America? Obesity is rampant. With obesity comes high blood pressure. Both of these are health issues that makes people more likely to have serious complications when infected with the Kung Flu. I remember when I was younger I was amazed at how fat our poor black people were. I guess it’s not politically correct to point this out. It’s better to say that the Kung Flu is racist.

Thanks to AlphaDelta for this meme.

By the way, AOC wants reparations for all of the black and brown people affected by the disease.

One of the best songs Led Zeppelin ever recorded. This was originally a Yardbirds’ song. Page took it with him when he formed Led Zeppelin. Listen to the conversation between the bass and drums in the interlude when Page is doing his solo using the cello bow. Jones plays five notes on the bass and Bonham replies with five beats on his snare. That occurs other times in the song with five chords on the guitar followed by five beats on the drums.

I loved the early Led Zeppelin best when they were more of a blues rock band. This song and the Lemon Song are my two favorite Led Zeppelin songs.

His fifth sonata.

Now on harpsichord where it is played a lot faster.

This week I’m giving it to the Fake News Media. They really are the enemy of the people. Don Surber has some examples.

Remember when they had their panties in a wad about the Arizona couple who ingested fish tank cleaner because Trump told them to? At least that was what CBS and NBC said. Turns out the wife was a Dimocrat Party supporter. That automatically makes her a dingbat and a Darwin Award recipient, unless, of course, this was a sneaky way of murdering her husband.

These assholes in the Fake News Media should be ashamed of themselves but since they are Dimocrats, they have no shame. They don’t care how many American are harmed just as long as they can take down the Orange Man. Disgusting.

Here’s your award assholes.

In these down times we could us a little laughter. A reader sent me an update of an old joke.

Last Saturday afternoon in Washington, D.C., an aide to Nancy Pelosi visited the Bishop of the Catholic Cathedral. He told the Cardinal that Nancy Pelosi would be attending Sunday’s Mass and asked if the Cardinal would kindly point out Pelosi to the congregation and say a few words that would include calling her a saint.

The Cardinal replied, “No. I don’t really like the woman, and there are issues of conflict with the Catholic Church over most of Pelosi’s views.”

Pelosi’s aide said, “Look, I’ll write a check here and now for a donation of $100,000 if you’ll just tell the congregation you see Pelosi as a saint.”

The Cardinal thought about it and said, “Well, the Church can use the money, so I’ll work your request into tomorrow’s sermon.”

As Pelosi’s aide promised, Nancy appeared for the Sunday worship and seated herself prominently at the forward left side of the center aisle. As promised, at the start of his sermon, the Cardinal pointed out that Ms. Pelosi was present.

The Cardinal went on to explain to the congregation, “While Ms. Pelosi’s presence is probably an honor to some, the woman is not numbered among my personal favorite personages. Some of her most egregious views are contrary to tenets of the Church, and she tends to flip-flop on many other issues. Nancy Pelosi is a petty, self-absorbed hypocrite, a drunken thumb-sucker, and a nit-wit. Nancy Pelosi is also a serial liar, a cheat, and a thief. I must say, Nancy Pelosi is the worst example of a Catholic I have ever personally witnessed. She married for money and is using her wealth to lie to the American people. She also has a reputation for evading her Representative obligations both in Washington and in California. Just look at the streets in her district! Feces everywhere. The woman is simply not to be trusted.”

The Cardinal concluded. “But, when compared with Hillary Clinton, Ms. Pelosi is a saint.”

Ron rants.

Been wakin up recently with pains in my hipjoints. Not a good thing. Not partic’larly keen on replacement surgery . . . assuming, of course, that the Kung Flu don’t get me first.

Starboard one went out of kilter this mornin on the way to the bathroom and made me stumble into the doorframe. Damned near knocked myself out. Stuff like that makes you wonder about stuff . . . like – why don’t people from England sound British when they sing?

Or, why is it that when the CPU in your PC overheats, the computer freezes? Sun so hot I froze to death? Suzannah?

And after “Trump’s Katrina” winds down and he’s still in office, what will The Resistance come up with as the latest “smokingest gun”?

Before DJT, we had stagnation, malaise, corruption, political entrenchment. When he’s gone, the pendulum will swing back toward all that as the traditional modus operandi of people intoxicated by the power of wealth and the sexiness of power.

Most of the left is hopelessly lost in an inescapable twilight zone of self-pity and mental anguish created for them by the Magic Negro mythology birthed and nurtured by Mammy Oprah.

And the hateful anti-Trump mainstream media perpetuates it with an uninterrupted barrage of propaganda targeting how unfair it was that Hillary lost and all their hopes of a utopian future where government takes care of everything were shattered by a non-traditional upstart rich guy who fights back.

They’ve convinced themselves and everybody whose granddaddy taught ‘em to vote for Slick, Dinglebarry, and Cankles how terrible things became even though unemployment plummeted and the economy took off like an Atlas rocket when Orangeman grabbed the helm.

They’re wallowing in their self-imposed moment of grief, which they are stretching out until Trump leaves office – by whatever means – unable to see beyond the unbearable pain of an unimaginable and unenlightened electoral college loss despite winning the popular vote.

It’s as if they WANT to be miserable and defy both common sense and reality to lurch and writhe and masochistically delight in the exquisite torture of their hatred of the guy who negated the halfrican’s bungles and got things working again.

Reality is, of course, that if even half the insults and accusations and exaggerations hurled at Trump by the rabid-left fraudstream were accurate and true, he’d be better qualified to run as a Democrat than as a Republican.

And Sanders . . . why is he running as a Democrat anyway? He has no loyalty to the Dem party or its leadership. Most of his policies are essentially Marxist, not Merican. His goal is wealth redistribution, and his loyalty is to failed revolutions.

Sundown Joe? Hah! The only way he’ll come out of Milwaukee the nominee in July will be as a figurehead nicely scrubbed and polished by the media, like a cranky old codger in an Alzheimer’s hostel-care center being followed by a herd of nurse with drool pans, diapers, and mouthwash.

In fact, a rumor is growing to draft Coronamouth Cuomo for president instead of Gropey. Hell, the Soetoro crime family is so eager and downright desperate to oust DJT and reclaim “their” territory that Godmother Felonia lost in the last war that they’re willing to prop her up again instead of a failing Walter Mitty or a Fidelista with a wife who chose to go through life fat, stupid, and corrupt.

Sometimes I think Perez and the rest of the DNC mob are getting just a little too much psilocybin in their morning mueslix and not quite enough direct sunlight. And why are they more angry at DJT for digging into Biden & Son’s corruption in Ukraine than they are that their leading PotUS candidate is so corrupt in the first place?

Another thing that sticks in my craw is the fraudstream media gleefully anticipating the final destruction of DJT by projecting the number of deaths from the COVID-19, similarly to HRC’s ill-timed and badly advised attempt at a joke about Trump making the US #1 again.

Actually, we might have reached the point in our cultural development where truck drivers, grocery store employees, and nurses are more important to us than analysts, commentators, athletes, musicians, and actors.

Meant to post this last night.
