Mischief Maker


President Obama is taking a page out of the Clinton playbook. He is on an around the world tour ...  in particular, China, India and France where he is going to meet with the leaders of these countries and also give paid speeches. I strongly suspect he will also be soliciting contributions to the Obama Foundation like the Clinton crime family had taught him. I have been unable to find out what his speech fees are, but I am certain he is not cheap ... see: Chicago Trib Article. (It has been predicted that he and Michelle could pull in a billion dollars once out of office.)

However, the thing that most disturbs me is what will go down in Barack's meetings with these world leaders.  Being a bit of a Obamaphobe, could it be that he is going to suggest that he is still running an American shadow government that will step in to run things once Trump is impeached? (Clue: watch to see if Valarie Jarrett accompanies him on this trip.) Will such Obama duplicity diminish Trump's foreign policy effectiveness? Will these foreign leaders pull back and await such a palace coup?

I will be watching for any change in the relationships between these countries and the U.S. once Obama comes home.I suggest you keep an ear to the ground too.

Fat Man




Ironically, the only two atomic bombs ever dropped in anger (U.S. on Japan in WWII) were named "LittleBoy" and "Fat Man" ... both apt discriptions for Kim Jong Un.

Perv Country


Two more male celebrities have entered the Conga line of pervs snaking through the halls of shame. Now Matt Lauer and Garrison Keillor have been fired from their media jobs for sexual improprieties. Can I count the names? Weinstein, Bill Clinton, Conyers, Bill O'Reilly, Ted Kennedy, Michael Kennedy, Al Franken, Charlie Rose, Kevin Spacey, Oliver Stone, AnthonyWeiner, Mark Halpern, the Affleck brothers, etc., etc. These are just the ones who have been verified as being pervs. Yes, Donald Trump, Joe Biden and Roy Moore have been accused but the charges against them are still unverified.

But the ones who have been fully outed, almost all seem to have one thing in common ... they are shrill liberal feminists ... male metrosexuals ... more than willing to denounce anyone across the aisle who looks cross-eyed at a woman. Me thinks that they doth protest too much. You can cut their holier-than-thou hypocrisy with a dull butter knife.

But the thing that has me puzzled is ... why only males? Surely some high-powered women have engaged in sexual shenanigans. The questions are who and how many? Here are my wild guesses for the first female pervs: Anna Wintour of Vogue Magazine, Maxine Waters of Congress, Carly Fiorina once of Hewlett Packard, Megyn Kelly of NBC, Martha Stewart of PBS, Nancy Pelosi of Congress, Lena Dunham of "Girls,"  Ariana Huffington once of HuffPo, and, yes, Hillary Clinton once our Secretary of State (outed by Huma?). Kind readers, feel free to add your speculations to this perv country ...

Racial Slur?


The Pitch: During a meeting honoring the few remaining World War II Navajo "code talkers," President Trump rather clumsily referred to Senator Elizabeth Warren with his per term "Pocahontas" (because she pretended to be an American Indian to get a job at UPenn and Harvard when they were seeking "faculty diversity").

The Swing: Senator Warren quickly accused Trump of making a "racial slur" for using the term "Pocahontas" while in the presence of American Indians. Understandably,Warren's slam quickly echoed through the national liberal media.

The Call: After the meeting, one of the Navajo code talkers said that during the war when they were parachuting out of planes the Army told them to shout "Geronimo!" He added that that they weren't insulted then and they aren't insulted now by Trump. "Your out!"

Next Batter: Senator Warren once again has egg all over her "high cheek-boned" face.

Bali Hai


The island of Bali is a Hindu enclave in the Muslim nation of Indonesia, It is populated by simple, peaceful people who generally are quite artistic and industrious. It is likely the island alluded to in that song "Bali Hai" in the famous Rogers and Hammerstein musical "South Pacific." I have never been to Bali but my daughter spent three months there many years ago and her stories of her time there painted this island as both exotic and mysterious ... albeit quite hot and humid. In fact my daughter said that the standard greeting there was (in Indonesian) "have you bathed yet"? Interestingly, she also indicated that it was a favorite sex stop for Australian female tourists.

Since her time there, Bali has suffered a very serious terrorist attack where 202 people (mostly tourists) were killed ... see: Wikipedia Entry ... as well as other more recent terrorist threats. Now this erstwhile paradise is again threatened ... this rime with a volcano, Mount Agung, which is spewing ash over the island and has closed down the airport ... see: CNN Story.

It seems that paradises, like Bali and beautiful, idyllic St. Barths (which was recently devastated by two hurricanes) somehow attract both natural and man-made disasters ... as though too much of a good thing, like at Eden, is just unacceptable to the gods and man. Nature doesn't just abhor a vacuum, she also doesn't like paradises very much.

Happiness Formula


Happiness occurs when there is very little angst overhanging one's life.

And how does one banish anxiety from one's life?

Approach all potential problems with a smile and a positive attitude ... put on a happy face.

In other words, happiness begets happiness.

(Apparently, for a number of people, alcohol and/or weed also works.)

Suggestion


Suggestion: Never-Trumpers ... particularly virulent never-Trumpers ... in order not to appear as hypocrites ... should take all of the financial gains that they have enjoyed in their IRAs, 401Ks, stock portfolios, etc. since Trump was elected ... and donate these monies toward reducing our national debt ...

The shooter

A Texas trooper stopped a car outside of Dallas on Thanksgiving day. When he returned to his cruiser to check on things, the motorist retrieved a rifle from his car and shot the officer dead ... see: ABC Story if you want the details (the cop was married with three children). It is reported by many eye-witnesses that when the officer saw the rifle, he placed his hands in the air and cried, "Don't shoot!"

This killing evoked banner headlines across America and all TV networks led their prime-time news broadcasts with the details of this horror. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell endorsed a request for a "Blue Lives Matter" standing demonstration at this weekend's games ... similar to what he did last year when 5 Dallas cops were ambushed and killed by Black Lives Matter aggrievers ... see: Fox News Story.

Safety in Numbers


Weinstein? Who is Harvey Weinstein? Since we were treated to our first sexual perv, there has been such a flood of like-minded miscreants, that we have almost forget who opened the spillway. Now, the lawyer for perv Rep. John Conyers is threatening to reveal the dozens if not hundreds of Congresspersons (there has to be at least one female) who have engaged in inappropriate horizontal cha-chas on Capitol Hill.

This sounds like a safety in numbers strategy on this lawyer's part and, I strongly suspect, it just might work. So, if the 254 lechers are revealed whose payoffs cost us taxpayers around $16 million ... plus those 50 on the current Congressional "creep list" are unmasked, the print media should have enough fodder to feed a cattle drive. And John Conyers (and Al Franken) can lose themselves in this crowd.

And what might the political persuasions of these over 300 pervs be? My money is on at least 75% Democrats. If not, I'll down a hefty dose of Fletcher's Castoria ...

Afterward: I think I just figured out why they call themselves "congress" ...

Shocking Prediction


President Trump is currently so despised by about 50% of the American public that, if this consensus suddenly realizes that he has indeed "made our country great again" (not a guarantee, but certainly possible), public opinion will swing from loathing to adoration.

I know, I know that you anti-Trumpers find this impossible to comprehend, but the study of cognitive dissonance (which you are now wallowing in) predicts that if and when positive thoughts replace negative passion, they are equally strong or stronger. So kind readers, please do not be shocked when, if Trump can deliver on his promises, his much-mocked visage someday appears on the twenty dollar bill!

Seismic Shift


A seismic shift seems to be occurring in American politics. There has been a traditional  rivalry between our Republicans and our Democrats. These battle lines were so well defined that,when a Democrat president took sexual advantage of a young female intern under him, the rest of his party looked the other way. In fact, his political views so eclipsed his bad behavior that he left office a demi-hero ... ready to capitalize handsomely both monetarily and physically on this adoration.

But events of the last few months seem to have changed this calculus. A tsunami of male on female sexual exploitations in the entertainment and political orbits have caused many die-hard Democrat women and media types to rethink their indulgence directed toward this decades-ago randy Arkansan. The working assumption of course is that, in these recent trysts,  the male is always the aggressor.

Now, both Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and sigher Mika Brzizenski remarkably have said that American women were wrong to paper over Bill Clinton's dalliances ... and he should have resigned from office ... which, of course, would have dramatically changed the events of the ensuing decades. To me, this change in attitude by these two super feminists (and many n the media) indicates that the fault lines are now between the sexes and not between the old political parties.

Taken to its natural conclusion, this suffrage victory might be such that a future presidential election would be a contest between the Vaginan party and the Macho party ... or maybe the XX's and the XY's. In the battle of the sexes, the exes are clearly winning.

Crossed Fingers


Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin made a surprising revelation on CNBC this morning ... and that is that people earning a million dollars or more a year will see, under the new tax laws, their taxes go UP on average by 3%! If this be true, then not only is this a good populist stance, but it flies in the face of all the Democrat demagoguery ... that this tax reform is a gigantic tax cut for the wealthy.

This Chuck Schumer claim is predicated on the elimination of the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) ... an elimination which I hope doesn't happen (see featured post on this blog ... Taxing Times ... which basically is an updated form of an AMT). But, if Mnuchin is being truthful, then I applaud the efforts of Congress on tax reform.

My fingers are crossed.

Swamp Creatures


Senator Al Franken has just joined the host of current and previous  pervs in Congress ... Ted Kennedy, Bob Menendez, Lyndon Johnson, Anthony Weiner, JFK, Wilbur Mills, Newt Gingrich, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, Bob Packwood, Joe Biden, Gerry Studds,  260 anonymous Congresspersons who had previously cost the U.S. taxpayers $15 million in sexual abuse settlements, and 50 current Congresspersons who are on a known "Creep List" ... see: Conservative Review Article.

For lots more perv names, see: Supreme Find Law.

And these are just the ones who have been exposed. How many more have existed is obviously a lot larger. And we wonder why so little gets done in the swamp ... they all seem preoccupied with groping others and exposing themselves.

Afterward: Should I add Barack Obama to the above perv list? See: DC Clothesline.
