This week I’m giving it to Cedric Richmond a black Congresscritter who made a joke about Kellyanne Conway on the couch at the White House. He claims it wasn’t sexual, but it followed a joke by Senator Tim Scott (R,SC) who said a lot worse had been done on that couch during the 90’s obviously referring to BJ Clinton, the philanderer in chief. Here’s what Richmond said.

“Tim, you kind of opened the door,” he said. “I really just want to know what was going on there, because, you know, I won’t tell anybody. And you can just explain to me that circumstance — because she really looked kind of familiar in that position there. Don’t answer — and I don’t want you to refer back to the 1990s.”

This was obviously an insult to Conway and why not? She’s a conservative woman and conservative women are always fair game. Of course Richmond backtracked and said he wasn’t being sexual, but in the context of the joke he obviously was. You’re an asshole Cedric. Here’s your award.

Not up to writing so here’s Ron’s latest rant.

Leftistas! Clintonistas! Warrenistas! Extremists who judge their political enemies by past activities while blithely forgetting that they have pasts of their own. Masters of the “Nothing to see here; Move along” approach to scandal when they’re in the catbird seat but “We demand a Congressional hearing and an FBI investigation” when the other party is involved. Hypocrisy incarnate.

Trump’s election didn’t generate the rancor and false indignation and malevolence we see every time we watch the news . . . it merely exposed it all.

The guy gives a Reaganesque speech which was extremely well received by more than seventy-five percent of the American people, including many centrist liberals and reasonable Democrats. But then the corrupt, biased, slowly sinking, publish-or-perish press with its permanent port list cancels it all out with its “Look! A squirrel!” conspiracy myth about Sessions and some kind of communist plot.

A fair and independent free press was included in the First Amendment for good reason. It’s a necessary feature of a democratic republic, rather like a conscience or a confessional.

But if your conscience is polluted, or if your confessor is corrupt, you’ll very likely be looking up the wrong end of a large, hairy, dirty animal. When media in a two-party system becomes the propaganda instrument for one party at the expense of the other, it’s like having a mafioso for a priest or a junky for a mother.

And if your mother is a junky, you’ll always be looking up that hairy beast’s backside until she detoxifies herself. And if your conscience is like a made guy who does one day of prayer and six days of sin, you’re in a no-win situation unless you’re the don or a wise guy yourself.

The left simply cannot allow news stories, especially by conservatives, to get air time or news space unless they dovetail nicely with their own agenda. I’m not anti-left. In fact, I’d rather not live in a society where everybody thinks the same, talks the same, votes the same, dresses the same, and does the same things all the time. Boring. Viva la difference.

What I am is anti-phony. What pisses me off most about entrenched politicians is not so much their being completely out of touch most of the time but their single-minded focus on the what’s good for their PARTY instead of what’s good for the NATION.

They quickly lose touch of the fact that they’re just employees, and temporary ones at that. National politics was never envisioned by the founders to be a career; it was seen as a patriotic service. A healthy two-party system ensures meaningful debate on controversial or unsavory issues, but it doesn’t necessarily mean winner takes all and loser gets the dried-up teat.

The bottom line, of course, is that it makes no difference who hacked whose e-mails. An old political axiom is that if you want to know more about your family history but don’t want to spend a bunch of money researching it, just run for high public office and your opponent will do it for you.

Dammit, if you don’t want your corruption dredged up and splashed all over the 6 o’clock news, don’t be corrupt in the first place, moron. Sheeesh! When I consider the bizarre and batty comments from high-placed people such as Waters, Pelosi, Lee, Warren, and others like them, it’s easy to understand the old quaint custom of witchburning.

I still don’t know exactly what the Schumers and Pelosis and Frankens expect to gain by delegitimizing Trump and shutting down his administration. Do they expect a grassroots insurrection and popular demand to negate the election results and install HRC as PotUS by acclamation? The two-faced potty-mouthed congenital liar who climbed the ladder of success wrong by wrong and helped a halfrican demolish our diplomatic and intelligence apparatus throughout the known world?

Beats me. But it seems to me that the left is going retro these days. They finally got it through their heads that the race card is frayed and worn out, so now when they can’t logically counter someone else’s argument, instead of calling him a racist they call him a communist.

Goebbels would be SO proud.

So there was a flash mob in Philadelphia. Thanks to Chuck E. for the link.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS)— At least 30 people were arrested after a flash mob of more than 100 teenagers wreaked havoc in Center City Philadelphia Monday evening.

Police say the group gathered in the area of 15th and Market Streets around 5:30 p.m., and began fighting and running in and out of traffic with no regard for others.

See anything missing in this story?

Police Commissioner Richard Ross says 20 people were cited for disorderly conduct, while a few others may face more serious charges after several people were violently attacked.

“They were actually beaten, maced and claim to have even been tased,” said Ross. “We know they were assaulted for sure. We had four people, we do not know if charges will be approved on those four. So we’re trying to wait to see, but the whole thing is just idiotic.”

Kenneth Ensigm was sitting in his truck doing paperwork when he saw the rush of people, some jumping on a taxi.

“All of a sudden I looked up and saw what looked like 200 teens running from the shops at Liberty Place area,” said Ensigm. “After the initial rush of people I started recording with my iPhone. The teens started dispersing as the police followed them on bicycles. I saw two individuals jumping on top of a parked taxi car at the corner of Ludlow and 17th Street. As the police came closer to the two individuals they jumped off the car and ran.”

Do you see it yet?

The motive for the large crowd is unclear at this time. Commissioner Ross says police believe it was planned through social media.

SEPTA’s Police Chief Thomas Nestel tweeted overnight: ‘SEEKING HELP! Please know what your nugget of love is doing after school. Kids are hurting kids. Love them by making them come home.’

Yeah love. That’s the ticket. Cue the Beatles. “All you need is love, la ta da ta da”

He went on to call the fights the worst he has seen.

Police say a female officer was injured when she fell off of her bike while responding to the mob.

“It’s not fair to the people live in Center City, it’s not fair to the people who are down there shopping and working,” said Ross. “It’s all ridiculous idiotic behavior that is inexplicable to me.”

But Ross isn’t surprised. He says flash mobs are an unfortunate by product of social media, which is how they think “Monday’s Madness” got started.

Anyhoo, the story goes on and on and on but nowhere is there any mention of the race of these thugs. Looking at the video with the story, you can see that these thugs are black but the Fake News Media dare not mention that in the story because that would be racist.

So they arrested thirty of these feral black thugs. Big deal! What do you think will happen to them? Not much. They’ll get a slap on the wrist because they’re dindu nuffins. Their mothers and grandmothers (Fathers? What fathers?) will say what good boys they are and they’ve never done anything like this before and they must have gotten caught up in the wrong crowd. They’ll be released, prolly on probation, and they’ll be back in the next flash mob riot.

We have a similar problem here in South Atlanta, part of “civil rights icon” John Lewis’ district with groups of young blacks known as sliders. They hang out at gas stations and while someone is gassing up his/her car, they slide in on the passenger side and steal stuff out of the car. If someone is dumb enough to leave his/her keys in the ignition, they’ll steal the car. Queen Latifah got her car stolen this way. BWAHAHAHAHA! Local officials don’t know what to do about this because these kids are underage and when caught are released with a slap on the wrist. Then they go out and do it again because they know the liberal black judges will continue to let them go. Of course, the obvious solution is to try them as adults and throw the book at them or lock them up in juvenile detention centers until they’re adults, then throw the book at them but that makes way too much sense. I mean, they’re dindu nuffins. They’re good kids. They just got in with the wrong group of people. The nice thing is this only occurs in the black parts of town so as long as you don’t gas up your car there, you’re OK.

I’m obviously a racist for writing this post.

Now we see what happens when we elect a Third World despot like Obungler. He was born in Kenya and spent the first few years of his life in Indonesia. He is no more an American than Kim Yuk Foo. Why would you expect him to respect American laws? And since he is a member of a crime syndicate masquerading as a political party he was cheered on in his total disrespect of the Constitution by people like ex-Speaker Blinky and Horrible Harry Reid. Now he is violating the tradition of a peaceful transfer of power by remaining in DC and setting up a shadow gummint to thwart his successor. The media, which is supposed to be a check on gummint overreach is the propaganda arm of the crime syndicate and is doing its job by trying to delegitimize the lawfully elected gummint. What we see going on is what you see in Third World banana republics. Pravda is a better source of news than our Fake News Media.

If Obumbler did wiretap the Trump campaign it is what Don Surber labeled it: Watergate on Steroids. We are seeing the total corruption of gummint that goes all the way up to Obongo. This is serious stuff. This is stuff that should have people doing perp walks.

Of course, none of this is surprising. Remember the Clintons? Poor Nixon asked for one FBI file which he didn’t get and that was an impeachable offense. BJ and Crooked Cankles got 1000 files and that was a “bureaucratic snafu”. That and many other Clinton scandals which were far worse than Nixon’s and the ho hum reaction to them, showed just how much in the tank for Dimocrats that the Fake News Media was. It also showed the crime syndicate masquerading as a political party just how far they could go in their lawbreaking. What do you think was in those 1000 FBI files? Prolly all sorts of stuff the Clintons used to blackmail people with. BJ should have been kicked out of office like Nixon, but he skated. Oblunder saw this and knew he could do the same and he had the additional advantage of being half black and he could denounce any criticism of him as racist, which he did.

This is not just a Dimocrat problem. Republicans are up to their necks in corruption as well. Why else do you think so many of them were Never Trumpers. They were afraid that Trump would drive the money changers out of the Temple. For sure, the Fake News Media is not gonna try to get to the bottom of this. They are doing everything in their power to cover up all of the corruption. All of a sudden the Russians helping Trump win the election is going away because that leads to the wiretapping of Trump by Obooger.

Crooked Cankles told her staff that if she didn’t win they were going to hang. Wouldn’t that be a lovely sight. It would be nice to see Obeauzeau and Valerie Jarrett swinging alongside of her. That’s what they do in Third World banana republics

From Ron.

Since the site was down, there was now wit and wisdom from Ron. Here is his latest.

Walkin around the block this mornin with my furry-faced buddy . . . very brisk and clear out there – maybe 40 degrees with a 6 or 7mph wind outta Lake Superior, or maybe lake Winnipeg.

Saw a strange critter, kinda like a small dog – coulda been a young gray fox – skulkin around a junkyard where a guy collects old refrigerators and stoves and stuff for some reason.

Monsterdawg issued a series of commands and threats while pulling on the leash and rising up on his hind legs, so the li’l guy vanished through some bushes. Got Dawg calmed down and back on the street, then I looked up at the sky.

So peaceful, so clean, so orderly . . . no traffic, no noxious fumes, no irritating noises – just the wind soughing in the pines and a siren so far away it could barely be heard. Got me to thinkin ‘bout “the best of all worlds.”

Around 300 years ago or so some German philosopher (you gotta read about those guys to get any meaningful advanced degree in liberal arts) coined that phrase, somethin ‘bout the existence of evil and what God might have done about it.

Came up with a list of how things might be different in the best of all possible worlds. Went through all the obvious ideas first – no disease, no terrorism, no war . . . that kinda stuff, then got into some specifics.

Decided that if all the big things like suffering and war and liberals and all that ceased to be, then we could focus on individuals. For example, in a perfect world,

Nancy Pelosi would get herself to a nunnery, like perhaps Our Lady of Perpetual Nap.

Al Franken would go on a fact-finding mission to Area 51 and never be seen again.

Rosie O’Donnell would sneeze so violently that her larynx would fly from her mouth into the street and be run over by a Mack truck.

Chuck Schumer would experience an epiphany and become a hermit snake worshipper in Calcutta.

Maxine Waters would stumble into a storm drain and be eaten by Norwegian wharf rats.

Michael Moore would have a seizure, fall on a fire-ant mound, and disappear completely.

Hillary Clinton’s tongue would snap off its roller and slither into a spittoon where it would be eaten by cockroaches.

Joy Behar would suffer a stroke which would cause her to sputter and shriek incoherently but nobody would notice the difference.

Whoopi Goldberg would enter a pact with Oprah in which they both would STFU.

Elijah Cummings would strangle Al Sharpton on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and spend the rest of his life on death row in Tijuana.

Kinda neat, this ability I have to entertain myself. Had dozens more of those little fantasies before we got back to the house . . . can’t remember ‘em all. Couple DID stick in my mind, tho:

Harry Reid dies and is reincarnated as a transsexual dwarf in Riyadh.

Jacques Fargin Querrie’s wife divorces him and he becomes a janitor at the San Francisco Embarcadero YMCA.

Bill Clinton has a total memory loss and then is introduced to his wife and daughter. (Let that one sink in.)

Best one is an oldy but goody: DingleBarry & MO exit the galaxy at light speed toward the Magellanic Cloud. World made perfect.

My imagination is sometimes like a richly simple aloha shirt with a few spaghetti sauce and wine stains. A good thing to have when your knees and your eyes give out.

I can add some to Ron’s list. “Civil rights icon” John Lewis sputters himself dry (watch him “orate” in the House. Stay out of the range of his spit) and dies of dehydration.

Lindsey Graham sticks his head so far up John McRINO’s ass that he dies of suffocation, meanwhile this plugs up McRINO and he dies of constipation.

Barbara Streisand eats so many pancakes that she claims Trump is making her eat, that her stomach explodes.

Feel free to add your own in the comments.

This one is from Jane Austen.

I went to QT to buy a Dr. Pepper. I walked up and saw these two policemen looking at a woman who was smoking while filling her tank with gas, I’m looking at this stupid person thinking what an idiot. And the police right there too?!

So I go in and grab my Dr. Pepper & while I was in there, I hear someone screaming. I look outside and that woman’s arm was on fire! She was tossing and waving her arm around and just going crazy!

I ran outside and the policemen had put her on the ground and was putting the fire out with an extinguisher!!!

I go back in to get my drink and when i come out and i’m walking by, the policemen start to put handcuffs on her, and they were about to put her in the police car. I’m like what in the world is really going on?!

So me being the concerned citizen that I am (nosy) asked the policemen what are they were arresting her for?

Already figuring that her arm catching on fire would be punishment enough, Nope! One cop looked straight at me and said, (more…)
