Really torn this week. You did hear about the Milo Yiannopoulos at DePaul University right? Well during his speech, the Black Lives Matter idiots had to get involved. Remember it’s the Left who always prattles on about “free speech” while at the same time, it’s the Left who always tries to shut down speech that they don’t agree with. DePaul University forced Breitbart to pay for security but when the BLM booger eatin’ moh-rons stormed the stage, the security force, many of them Chicago cops, stood by and did nothing. Wonder why? One reason is DePaul is run by a bunch of leftists. Another reason is that the black bitch who got in Milo’s face, Kayla Johnson, just happens to be the daughter of Juanita Johnson who is the Chicago PD’s Director of Administration. Lot’s of assholiness here. DePaul University, the Chicago PD, and BLM. Hey BLM idiots, if you are really so concerned about black lives, why were you fucking with Milo instead of on the streets of Chicago where already 250 people, most of them black, have been murdered so far this year? I’ll believe black lives matter when you idiots start acting like it.

But, I’m gonna give the award to perky Katie Couric for her winning the Dan Blather Award for Journalistic Excellence. She made this anti-gun “documentary” and did some selective editing. For example, she asked a group of people a question and then put in eight seconds of an earlier video of these same people to make it appear that they couldn’t answer her question. Remember, SJW’s always lie. They also always double down. When caught in the lie, her producer claimed they put in that 8 seconds so the viewers could “reflect on the question”. Yeah. Sure. Story here. Hey Katie, how do you like it when someone does it to you?

Perky Katie has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is not a journalist but a propagandist as are almost all members of the LSM propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party. Here’s your award perky Katie. Put it next to the Dan Blather Award.

Ramirez knocks one outta the park.

The Great Atlanta Streetcar is in the news again. For those of you who don’t live in Atlanta, the Great Atlanta Streetcar is a 2.7 mile loop than runs from Centennial Olympic Park to the King Center and back. The actual distance from the King Center to Centennial Olympic Park is about a mile so it can be walked in about 20 minutes. There are times, due to staffing problems, that the time between cars is over 20 minutes. For the first year in operation the fare was free. Then they raised it to a dollar and ridership dropped by over 48%.

The streetcar originally was supposed to cost $70 million, but as with all gummint projects, it went over budget and ballooned to $98 million. Not only did it go over budget, but there were construction delays. Look at my shocked face.

The streetcar is supposed to be a model project and will eventually link up with other streetcars around Atlanta, especially in the Beltline a 22 mile area of parks, apartments, and businesses circling Atlanta.

What these “visionary” retro idiots don’t realize is that there was a reason streetcars went the way of the dodo. No one rode them anymore and no one is riding the Great Atlanta Streetcar now that they have to pay for it. I predicted when they opened it that within five years they will tear up the tracks and repave the streets since they will lose more money than MARTA.

And that’s another problem. Both the city of Atlanta and MARTA jointly run the Great Atlanta Streetcar. There is a recipe for failure right there.

I mentioned earlier that there were staffing problems, notably, not enough drivers. Last Memorial Day many drivers called in sick (to get a three day weekend) and on the day when they most needed the drivers and ridership would definitely be up, there were only enough drivers to run a streetcar every 30 or more minutes. Jay Bookman, prolly the most liberal dude on the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation, on Twitter, called Rush Limbaugh a racist for correctly pointing out that all of the thugs in the Baylor football team’s sexual assault scandal were black, so I guess I’m a racist for pointing out that all of the drivers who called in sick last Memorial Day were black. (Factual journalism is no longer allowed in this country.) Both MARTA and the Great Atlanta Streetcar are jobs programs for blacks.

Racist! Racist! Racist! Racist! Racist! Racist! Racist! Racist! Racist! Racist! Racist! Racist! Racist!

Anyway, the Georgia Department of Transportation gave the city until June 14 to submit plans to fix over 60 problems with the Great Atlanta Streetcar or it will be shut down immediately. Among the problems were the staffing problems I mentioned above, poor maintenance, and a failure to properly investigate accidents.

The Great Atlanta Streetcar was a mistake. It was a costly step back in time and a $98 million boondoggle. I still stick with my prediction that in five years the tracks will be pulled up, the cars will be sold off or junked, and the streets repaved. I wonder how much that will cost?
