What a weird election we have coming up. The majority on the left are afraid their decent candidate might die before inauguration day and that the indecent opposition candidate might not. Meanwhile, said indecent candidate, the beloved of the anti-American right, is headed directly to either to the White House or to prison – and nobody knows which he’ll get to first! If he ends up in the White House, prison is off the table (except, maybe, in Georgia). But if he ends up in prison, MAGA will vote for him, anyway, and he could, theoretically, move from cell block ‘D’ to the Oval Office.
I’ll tell you this: It is NOT what you might call an inspiring race…

Here’s a little piece that probably went unnoticed. I’m not even sure how it got published, since it throws wealth into the spotlight of evil once again. There are people out there (anti-poverty organization Oxfam International, to be exact) suggesting that the world will have it’s first trillionaire within ten years. Apparently, this trillionaire will likely be one of the five guys vying for “richest guy in the world” on an on-going basis.
Income inequality, it seems, has been put on steroids since the pandemic. The already gaping chasm between wealth and poverty started widening at an alarming rate. ”Oh, isn’t that great?” coo the supply-siders. ”That was our goal!” Yeah, it was. Oh, Oxfam ALSO noted that five BILLION people have been made poorer in the process, so far.
I’ll tell you this: I’m going to go out on a limb, here, and state flatly and for the record that a policy – any policy – that benefits five people while harming five billion people is probably a bad policy…

MAN, these things irritate me. Word going around on the left is, ‘Donny isn’t going to be on the Primary ballot in Nevada.’ The reason? The GOP didn’t file the application! Wow, what a bunch of rubes, right? Well, no. As it happens, Donny isn’t the only con who isn’t on the ballot. In fact, only Nikki Haley IS on the primary ballot. What the Left left out, was that the GOP doesn’t like the primary system Nevada changed to. They used to use a caucus. Dems changed the rule after much “chaos” in the process in 2020. Cons are convinced (and of course they are) that the new system is some kind of trick, so they’re not participating in the Primary and, instead, holding their caucus anyway.
So the statement is technically true, Donny won’t be on the primary ballot. But the overall presentation is misleading to the point of becoming untrue. I expect that kind of misrepresentation from cons – it’s what they do. I do NOT want to see it on the left. We have all the facts, all the evidence, all the ‘correct’ on our side. We don’t HAVE to make up stories about them. I get really irritated by click-bait…
(This bit came from a podcast called ‘The David Pakman Show.’ Anybody can make a mistake but it was VERY easy for me to discover the details so I have to assume Mr. Pakman didn’t even bother to check. That makes him a rather untrustworthy source. Rely upon Mr. Pakman at your own peril…)

Well, it looks like I may have spoken too soon. Ole’ cheatin’ Bill Belichick has interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons about their head coaching job. I guess he started believing his own press. Ooh, what a genius. His cheating scheme has been fully exposed. He won’t be able to do it in Atlanta any more than he’s been able to do it in New England since 2007 and, as we’ve all seen, if he’s not cheating, he’s not winning. Maybe Atlanta is angling for a first round pick…
