Lots of worthy candidates, like the mayor of Nashville, but I’m giving it to Christopher Wray the head of the FBI.

“Within the domestic terrorism bucket, category as a whole, racially motivated violent extremism is I think the biggest bucket within that large group. And within the racially motivated extremism bucket people prescribing to some kind of white supremacist ideology is certainly the biggest chunk of that,” Wray told radical Democrat Rep. Elissa Slotkin (MI).

“I don’t have the numbers for you,” Wray said admitting he has no evidence whatsoever to back up his insane claims.

Has this asshole been paying attention to all of the bullshit that has been going on with Black Lies Matter over the last three months? JHFC! Screw defund the police. Howza ’bout defunding the FBI?

What are we betting on? Will there be debates. Will the Dimocrats allow Basement Biden to debate Trump? I mean, the bar is being set so low all Hidin’ Biden has to do is show up and he’s automatically tied.

Question: What do Jefferey Epstein and Joe Biden have in common?

Answer: Neither of them can complete a sentence.

Yeah. I stole that from a newsletter from a dude in Staten Island one of my readers sends me.

Gropey Joe has to use a TelePrompTer to answer softball questions from the press. And he even has trouble reading the answers.

The other day he thought the abbreviation MI referred to the military instead of Michigan and said there were 6000 Kung Flu deaths in the military.

He’s in an advanced stage of dementia and it is getting more obvious.

How is he gonna debate Trump? Are they gonna put an invisible earpiece in so they can give him the answers to the debate questions?

Are they gonna sneak a computer screen on his podium so his aides can give him the answers to the questions?

For sure, he will be fed the questions in advance by the members of the Fake News Media but can he memorize the answers?

Will he be pumped full of drugs to help him?

Will the Dims cancel the debates? Speaker Blinky has already hinted at that although she backtracked.

The first debate is in two weeks. Will it happen?

Place your bets.

Ron is in good form today.

I am SO freakin tired of the apologizing, the self-recrimination, the mea-culpa-ing, the virtue signaling, the rationalizing, hypocrisy, blame-shifting, “peaceful protests,” spin, lockdown, lies, and especially the pandering . . . . .

The real question is not WHETHER black lives matter, but WHEN they matter, and to WHOM – in the womb? In Muslim countries? When they’re caught committing crimes? While they’re being shot by other blacks? “Black Lives Matter” is NOT in the interest of ordinary black people’s lives. Name one hospital, or school, or charity that BLM has supported.

Blacks kill blacks all the time. But they get upset only when white people join in.

BLM is a vicious myth borne of deliberately exaggerated and romanticized spin by troublemakers of the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown incidents, both of which have been repeatedly debunked as white police brutality.

The Left LOVES to call Trump a “Racist President.” Hey, Bro! Radix malorum Soetoro est – DingleBarry and his silverback mate are inarguably the source and raison d’etre of all the division, racism, “cops are murdering black men,” looting, vandalizing, BLM, Antifa, and everything else wrong with the US today.

Racist President? We already had one of those recently. In fact, we replaced him with Donald Trump.

For four years now the Resistance has been in a state of perpetual anger – eager and willing to vote Trump out in 2020. And the best the Democrats could give them as Trump’s opponent is a 77-year-old non-accomplisher in the throes of dementia. No wonder the polls show no enthusiasm for Quid-Pro Joe.

The MSM has been telling us since 2016 that Trump as PotUS would bring about a recession, destroy the economy, ruin our international image, wreck trade agreements, victimize blacks, and abuse Latinos. Four years of it.

Truth is that he revitalized the economy, retrieved capital from foreign venues, got peace agreements in the Middle East, calmed down NorKor, corrected the trade imbalance with several major competitors, and brought unemployment for blacks and Latinos to its lowest level EVER.

Resurrecting the attitudes a lotta people had the 50s about TrickyDick Nixon and applying them to Gropey Joe, “I wouldn’t buy a used car from that guy.” In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if Biden votes for Trump by accident.

And Leftistes claim DJT wants to be PotUS for life (kinda what they wanted for DingleBarry) and won’t leave the White House if he loses. The real question isn’t whether Trump will voluntarily vacate the Oval Office if he loses, but if Biden will come out of his basement if HE wins.

Biden recently took a few questions from “journalists” in a rare foray outside his basement. Asked if he’d been thinking about dementia, he said, “C’mon . . . as President I’ll double their foreign aid and accept all their refugees, no questions asked.”

Oh, and the NFL is back on the tube – and fans are staying away in droves from the National Social Justice Football League. Sports are supposed to be an escape for fans. They have no interest in listening to players express their ignorance about political or social issues. That’s not what they were hired for.

But . . . the owners gave in to false virtue signalling . . . pandering to the rioting, looting, welfare-dependent anarchists. Same thing with the mainstream networks with their phoney PSAs proclaiming their support of brotherhood and understanding and all that hypocritical hot air.

But . . . back to the gleep. It’s just terrible how many politicians have died from the WuHuFlu! I gotta say, I’m much more worried about Biden-20 than I am Covid-19.

Dems are angry with DJT for not panicking when the Chinese gleep showed up here. They act like lounge lizards on a cruise ship that hit some heavy seas and somebody’s piña colada spilled on the lanai overlooking the surfing pool.

The captain comes on the PA system to say that the unusually large wave that hit the ship did no damage and things are completely under control and the ship will be out of the rough water in about an hour.

What they want is excitement, some terror in his voice and chaos amongst the crew so they can abandon all pretense of being reasonable, intelligent, educated people and begin tearing things apart like chimpanzees who escaped the zoo and found a meth lab.

As for the Atlantic claim that Trump called vets “losers and fools,” they clearly stole the line from Michael in The Godfather. It’s as if DJT abandoned Americans to die in a foreign embassy under attack and then blamed it on a YouTube video.

And several states are preparing to go back into permanent lockdown until somebody finds a cure for Trumpness.

J.H.C. Let’s look at the actual numbers here. The US population is a little over 330 million. This morning we’ve had fewer than 7 million cases reported – that’s less than 2%, folks. And 200,000 deaths in 330,000,000 people, many of whom had other co-morbidities? That’s 2 in 3300, 1 in 1500, max . . . wouldn’t even show on a graph.

Globally? Under a million deaths as of this morning . . . of 7.5 billion people. That’s 1 in 7500. Just think how many lives we’d save globally EACH YEAR if we did away with all vehicles – a million and a half. But I bet we don’t close down a whole lotta highways any time soon.

For the golfers from my friend Phil.

A nun walks into Mother Superior’s office and plunks down into a chair. She lets out a sigh heavy with frustration.

‘What troubles you, Sister?’ asked the Mother Superior. ‘I thought this was the day you spent with your family.’

‘It was,’ sighed the Sister. ‘And I went to play golf with my brother. You know I was quite a talented golfer before I devoted my life to Christ.’

‘I seem to recall that,’ the Mother Superior agreed. ‘So I take it your day of recreation was not relaxing?’

‘Far from it,’ snorted the Sister. ‘In fact, I even took the Lord’s name in vain today!’

Goodness, Sister!’ gasped the Mother Superior, astonished. ‘You must tell me all about it!’

‘Well, we were on the fifth tee…and this hole is a monster, Mother Superior 540 yard Par 5, with a nasty dog leg left and a hidden Green… and I hit the drive of my life. I creamed it. The sweetest swing I ever made. And it’s flying straight and true, right along the line I wanted… and it hits a bird in mid-flight!’

Oh my!’ commiserated the Mother. ‘How unfortunate! But surely that didn’t make you blaspheme, Sister!’

‘No, that wasn’t it,’ admitted Sister. ‘While I was still trying to fathom what had happened, this squirrel runs out of the woods, grabs my ball and runs off down the fairway!’

‘Oh, that would have made me blaspheme!’ sympathized the Mother

‘But I didn’t, Mother!’ sobbed the Sister. ‘And I was so proud of myself! And while I was pondering whether this was a sign from God, this hawk swoops out of the sky and grabs the squirrel and flies off, with my ball still clutched in his paws!’

‘So that’s when you cursed,’ said the Mother with a knowing smile.

‘Nope, that wasn’t it either,’ cried the Sister, anguished, ‘because as the hawk started to fly out of sight, the squirrel started struggling, and the hawk dropped him right there on the green, and the ball popped out of his paws and rolled to about 18 inches from the cup!’

Mother Superior sat back in her chair, folded her arms across her chest, fixed on the Sister with a baleful stare, and said…

‘You missed the fuckin’ putt, didn’t you?

Newsman (sic) have a very short attention span. It is a prerequisite in the business. That is why the news accounts of almost everything makes sense to all ages up to the age of twelve. If one wishes to enjoy newspapers, it is wise to halt all intellectual development right up to that age. The schools are doing their level best to achieve this goal. For the first time in history it is possible to earn doctorates in obscure professional techniques without upsetting the standard of a twelve-year-old basic intellect. – Travis McGee from A Deadly Shade of Gold published in 1965.

Wow! Was John D MacDonald spot on or what? And this was before Gender Studies and African Racial Grievance Studies.

Newspapers have only gotten worse.

I started reading newspapers back in the 50’s. we had the St. Louis Post Dispatch delivered every afternoon. I started with the funnies. Then in my teens, I started reading the sports page and occasionally the news sections because of Civics and Social Studies assignments.

The first newspaper I started reading on my own was the Chicago Tribune back in 1966 when I was going to ET School at Great Lakes Naval Training Center. I wrote my first letter to the editor and it got published! I was pretty proud of that.

When I moved out of my mom’s house I started getting the Post Dispatch delivered to my apartment.

When I moved to Atlanta back in 1985 I started getting the Urinal, which was the afternoon paper and “Covered Dixie like the dew”. No longer. Dixie is politically incorrect and the paper no longer has that wide a circulation any more.

The Urinal was the afternoon paper and was conservative. The Constipation was the morning paper and was liberal.

The two papers have long since merged and have gone consistently downhill. Lewis Grizzard and Celestine Sibley are long dead and they have found no one to replace either of them. The current writer is a joke.

The editorial page is a joke. They’ve fired the local op-ed writers and the only op-eds are in the Sunday paper. The reason given for no longer having national op-ed writers on a daily basis is all they did was “rehash the same arguments”. Of course, that doesn’t stop them from having the same tired liberal opinion of their cartoonist Mike Luckovich who rehashes the same I hate Trump bullshit every. During the week they only publish two letters to the editor a day.

They’ve trimmed the sports page and since most of the sports have become woke, it doesn’t take me long to zip through that section.

Even the funnies suck. There are a few good ones like Pearls Before Swine. Most of the rest can’t compare with comics like L’l Abner or Pogo.

The paper is not worth reading anymore and as soon as my current subscription is over my 35 year association with Atlanta newspapers will be over.

Sad.

From Ray.

It was late 1967. I was on the USS Comstock (LSD-19) somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. I had a transistor radio and I picked up a radio station and this was playing. Wow! Who the heck is this? Great song! First time I ever heard The Who.

His 33rd sonata.

Now on harpsichord played by Scott Ross. Thanks to Claudia who turned me on to Scott Ross. He recorded every single one of Scarlatti’s sonatas.
