Supremes


Should I have pictured Diana Ross’s singing group?


I recently speculated that some woke American blacks have gone beyond seeking racial equality ... to demanding black supremacy ... see: Today’s Poser. Let’s call them  “supremes” ... and, by the way, they’re not all blacks either ... many lefty white pols see advantage in jumping on this cho-cho train. Anyhow, how do you know if you are a supreme?

Well, you might be a supreme if:

- you say All Lives Matter is racist

- you want to defund the police

- you demand reparations

- you want the “black language” taught in the schools

- you want convicts in prison to be able to vote

- you wear a “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” tee-shirt

- you kneel during the national anthem

- you think looting and arson are OK because “they have insurance”

- you try to look and act black even if you are not

Today’s Poser


Mayor Pete, in order to ingratiate himself with black voters, is now calling for reparations. This obviously opens up a can of night crawlers. Viz: If a black person has DNA proving that he/she is only 1/4 African-American, does this person get only a 25% reparations share? And, moreover, does his/her 75% non-black DNA owe reparations to the remaining portion?

Reparations


The Vikings ravaged the U.K. and much of Europe for hundreds of years well over a millennium ago ... causing untold suffering and property loss. Therefore it is only right the brown-eyed people should receive reparations from blue-eyed people to remedy these past injustices. Suggested one-time assessment is 45,000 Kronas per blue-eyer.

(Although I am blue-eyed, I have had my DNA tested and I have no Scandinavian ancestors, so I feel I should be excluded from this reparation assessment.)

Drying-up Puddle


The Dems are angry, very angry. They would turn Washington upside down to get rid of Trump. Hell, they would turn our country upside down just to embarrass our orange-haired leader.

Yes, national polling says that the Dems might be on the cusp of winning in 2020 ... which seems to validate their many proposals: pack the Supreme Court, open our borders, increase taxes, eliminate the Electoral College, allow abortions into the fourth trimester, pay blacks reparations, destroy ICE, implement the Green New Deal, and on and on ... to prevail until we become Venezuela.

The Dems grand plot to make our president an eunuch... Mueller’s Russian collusion investigation  ... has shit the bed. And so, in spittle-flecked desperation, they are asking for an investigation Mulligan. But they seem oblivious to the fact that the American people are becoming bored with these warmed-over conspiracy leftovers. Even though the polls dispute such a conclusion ... we are learning more and more ... like just in Australia ... that polls are sucking wind. The Dems can try contempt of Congress or impeachment of Bill Barr or even Trump ... but they are likely losers.

But somehow I get the impression that all these radical proposals are acts of desperation ... a realization that, if the economy stays as good as it is now ... coupled with a win in North Korea, Iran, Venezuela or China ... Trump will be unbeatable. It’s a little like the Dems are worms caught in a drying-up puddle ... flipping around in the realization of their coming fate.

Please hear me you worms: Robert DeNiro, Jerry Nadler and Adam Schiff? Squirming around in a drying-up puddle is not a winning strategy.
