Epstein

More Dumb Things…

by MyBaconPress

You see? This is what’s wrong with such a large swath of our media lying about, well, everything, all the time. This nutball shooter in Atlanta? The guy who murdered a cop while trying to murder other people? He was shooting at a CDC office – because he believed the Covid vaccine made him depressed and suicidal. When he found he couldn’t get in there, he went over and started shooting at a CVS drugstore, instead.

Oh, he was upset at the recent passing of a dog, too. That part I get. The belief that a Covid vaccine might do anything but vaccinate one against Covid-19? That’s the direct result of a now years long campaign of lies. Now we’ll suffer the effects of our moronic “health” secretary blocking the use of mRNA vaccines because he claims they don’t work.

People who rely on science say the mRNA vaccine saved millions of lives and shutting down work on new channels for it’s use will harm millions who didn’t have to be harmed. And that doesn’t even get into the area of economic leadership. If we abandon research into this new and exciting arena – like we have so many other advanced technologies because Donny prefers coal – we’re surrendering any possibility of leadership in the area. If we’re not leading the way, we’re not profiting from innovation. We WILL fall behind.

So in one move, Team Evil took us backwards in two different ways: We’re going to be sicker and we’re going to be behind in the technology. After hearing about this story, the guy was angry the vaccine made him depressed and suicidal so he shot up a CVS drugstore, I can see we’re already WAY behind in intelligence…

In what can only be described as an amazing coincidence – because in MAGAmerica, we have to pretend actions don’t have consequences – there’s a surge in Covid-19 cases! Here we go again. I guess some people just think it’s bad luck. Why does Covid-19 get so bad when Donny’s in charge? It must be the Dems, right? Biden! It couldn’t POSSIBLY be because Moron 47 insists on stupid over science. It’s like, everything he touches, he destroys…

According to the Guardian, evil Scott Bessent is going to take over control of the IRS. This will make him the (are you ready for this?) SEVENTH leader the IRS has had this year. Bessent replaces a guy named Billy Long, who held the post for an entire TWO months!

All of this is because of a large group of people who believe some of the most amazingly stupid stuff you’ve ever seen in your life. MAGA STILL believes ICE is only rounding up the worst of the worst, rapists and murderers. Nobody’s telling them the ICEholes are just picking up brown people and being as mean as they can about it. MAGA STILL believes undocumented brown people are living the good life on all of that sweet government money they get. They don’t. Mostly, they pay taxes into a system they can’t collect from. But just try to tell a MAGA. These guys are convinced brown people just wander into the country, into a welfare office, and walk out with thousands of dollars in monthly aid.

See, the ICEholes want to use IRS filings to cross-check addresses of brown people for deportation. The unofficial story is that Long, for some reason, declined to use the IRS database to help the ICEholes so he’s out. Of course, the official story is that he was only ever intended to serve in the role for two months because the White House sees IRS Commissioner as a kind of work-study, exploratory thing.

Now Long gets to go be Ambassador to Iceland and Bessent takes the helm of the IRS where he’ll have zero qualms about crosschecking Privacy Act information against ICE target sheets in an effort to help ICE fill their quotas. MAGAmerica sucks. That’s just all there is to it…

NFL football is coming. In fact, it has started. Well, the preseason, anyway. A kicker on the Jacksonville Jaguars made a field goal. A 70-yard field goal! That’s an NFL record. Nobody has ever made a 70-yarder before so you just KNOW that kick, a kick the entire viewing audience watched happen, MUST make the record books for all time and–
Wait, what? What do you mean, “doesn’t count?” Because it’s a preseason game? Records set in the preseason don’t count? Who knew?

I don’t normally watch the preseason. It’s generally more important to the players and coaches than to me. The games tend to be boring. Nobody is running the complex plays they’ll use in the regular season. It’s all about evaluating talent. Most of the time, nobody cares who wins and who loses. But I watched the Niners preseason opener last night. They lost. Who cares? What I wanted to see was Robert Saleh’s defense coming together.

He’s trying to put a new scheme into effect. He can use these games to test ideas while he tests players. He showed some of it last night. Not all of the players were up to snuff on all of the plays but it’s early, yet. I’m glad Saleh is back. There are a LOT of questions about this team going into the season but the skills of the Defensive Coordinator are not among them…

It looks like the MAGA strategy to protect President Pedophile is working. I’m seeing fewer and fewer stories about Trump’s many, many ties to child sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein and his moll Ghislaine Maxwell. The stone wall seems to have held. The files will not be released.

So, I’ll just post this bit here. Remember, Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein were very good friends who seem to have engaged in sex trafficking children together. Epstein is dead and Donny insists it never happened – and who has EVER heard of a criminal who lied about committing the crime? Remember, there are extensive files collected by the FBI on the topic that could well shine a very bright light on who did what to whom.

All the proof he might need to clear his own name but, for some reason, reasons no MAGA could ever fathom, he won’t release it. Oh, well, I guess we’re just going to have to listen to, and believe, the victims…

The Math Ain’t Mathing…

by MyBaconPress

I’ve got to say, this is exactly the kind of math that keeps me from having full (read: any) confidence in Donny’s abilities. He claimed, more than once, that he cut prices on medications “1,300%, 1,400%, 1,500%.” He specified. “Not 50%, 1,500%!” He says things like that because his base laps it up like a kitten at a bowl of cream. “Ooh! Ahh! Prices down 1,500%. Why didn’t BIDEN do that?”

Well, because it’s impossible. So, yeah, Biden didn’t do that. Neither did Donny. It’s just that Biden didn’t lie to you about it. To be clear, if they cut prices 1,500%, when you go to pick up your prescription, you’ll get your meds AND a fistful of dollars. Anything over 100% means you get money back. Let’s say your script costs you $50. Lower the price 100%, it’s free. Lower prices 200%, the pharmaceutical company is giving YOU $50 to take it off of their hands.

Perhaps he’s just saying stupid things in an attempt to distract from the Epstein files…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Speaking of which, from out of the blue, with no warning and certainly no prompting – and having absolutely, positively nothing to do with her new minimum security digs she needed a special waiver from Donny’s “government” to go to – Ghislaine Maxwell has now declared that she never saw 47 do anything “concerning.” Apparently, she’s willing to misrepresent, but she doesn’t feel good about outright lying so they worked and worked until they stumbled over “concerning.”

Quick question, would it “concern” you if you were a child molester and sex trafficker and you saw one of your (alleged) suppliers molesting a child you trafficked? Because I don’t think that would be too “concerning” to that kind of a person. See? She got to tell the truth (because of her morals) and make it sound like it puts Donny in the clear. It doesn’t.

It’s curious, I don’t think of Ghislaine Maxwell as a trustworthy source. I suspect she might mislead if she thought there might be some benefit in doing so. In my mind, any testimony, comments, or statements she makes need to be corroborated with physical evidence. You know, like the Epstein files…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have to confess, I DO wonder what he was doing on the roof of the White House. It’s a very weird place to hold a press conference – especially since the “press” was still on the ground and seemingly a good distance away. Maybe he was trying to distract from the Epstein file chatter. Then again, maybe he was trying to distract from the Texas redistricting drama playing out slowly while Texas Republicans work as hard as they can to cheat in the upcoming mid-terms.

I mean, they aren’t even TRYING to hide it. They’re out in force making public statements and threats against the Democrats who fled the state in an effort to forestall the proceeding. But the GOP wants to cheat. They want it soooo bad. C’mon, man, they need it. You know they need it. Just this one time, man. Be cool!

But the Dems aren’t “being cool.” They’re staying away and they’re making public statements, too. I don’t think this effort, alone, will stop the outright theft by the GOP but it could shine a light on it brightly enough that the Texas legislature decides it’s in their own best interest to stand down.

Naw, they’re stealing the thing. It says an awful lot to me that the GOP is SO certain that their own policies have been SO toxic, they’ll cheat in your face to keep their jobs – all so they can do MORE damage…

HEY, prices are still going up! He said he was going to bring them down but then they kept going up. Every day, it looks a little bit more like he knows nothing about the national and international economies. It looks like he’s just guessing – badly. Has he tried lying about it? That’s a common “fix” he employs. It’ll fool everyone. Well, until they walk into a grocery store. Donny forgets things like that because HE, personally, doesn’t walk into grocery stores.

All I know is, prices are still going up…

I know this is kind of rude but I always like it when trophy hunters get killed by their intended victim. The hunter has all of the advantage. So when millionaire Asher Watkins, 52, of Dallas, Texas, was struck and gored by a charging Cape Buffalo bull on Sunday, killing him instantly, it felt like…justice. The animal was minding it’s own business and Watkins came to kill it. The rule is, when someone tries to kill you, you feel free to try to kill them right back, right?

Watkins started it. The bull finished it. It wasn’t even a fair fight and the bull won. Occasionally, rarely, we get little glimpses of justice in this world…

So, what is it with these incels throwing sex toys onto the courts at WNBA games? Oh, I “get it.” These are women and those are sex toys. Uh-huh. But, no, I don’t get it. Are sex toys funny? I suppose if the only one you’ve ever seen is the one you bought to throw onto a basketball court, maybe. But what’s the play, here? Are the women supposed to just see a sex toy, forget the game, strip down, and have an impromptu orgy? What, with ONE sex toy? I’m guessing that’s not happening. In fact, I’d bet on it.

Worse, if you’re buying a sex toy you intend to simply throw onto a basketball court, you’re probably not spending big for quality, right? It’s not a very enticing offer. Dude, I see how you became incel in the first place. Let’s stop throwing sex toys on the courts, shall we? Just enjoy the game. Then you can take your (cheap) sex toy home and… make a new friend…

When You Can’t Win, Cheat…

by MyBaconPress

In an effort to stop the gerrymandering Donny has demanded from Texas, the state’s Democrats have fled, leaving insufficient votes to move forward with the evil plan – for now. Evil Texas Governor Greg Abbott has threatened to “remove” the Democratic lawmakers from their office if they don’t come back. That seems unconstitutional, to me, but I’m not very familiar with Texas state law.

The GOP knows the policies they’re pursuing are incredibly unpopular. Every day, more and more people are speaking out. When this country was a constitutional republic, the people could get rid of lousy lawmakers at the ballot box. It’s part of the reason there has been so little pushback to the insanity coming out of Washington, DC. Americans figure they’ll just vote the scoundrels out in the mid-terms.

That used to work. The GOP, and, specifically, evil Donny, are afraid it might work again so they formed a plan and the plan is simple: cheat. The anti-American GOP intends to gerrymander districts to eliminate Democratic seats and give the state five more Republican seats, thus extending the artificial hold Republicans have on the House of “Representatives.”

It’s not like this is back-room politics. They’re doing it right out in the open, where everyone can see. There’s not much the Texas Democrats can do about it, except leave the state, depriving the legislature of a quorum. So that’s what they did. But, come on, how long can they keep that up? They get fined $500 a day while they’re gone and their campaign funds aren’t allowed to pay the fines. Besides, historically, it only serves to slow, not defeat, legislation.

Texas is already considered one of the more gerrymandered states in the nation. Other known gerrymandered states include North Carolina (Swing, red in 2024), Maryland (Blue), Pennsylvania (Swing, red in 2024), Kentucky (Red), Louisiana (Red), Arkansas (Red), Utah (Red), Texas (Red), Ohio (Red), West Virginia (Red), and Wisconsin (swing, red in 2024).

Maryland seems to be an outlier as a gerrymandered blue state. It should be noted that the swing states that went red in the last “election,” likely went red as a result of Elon Muck’s money and his ‘knowledge of the tabulating machines’ – according to 47. But if the red states are already heavily gerrymandered – really, the only way the GOP can hold seats – all they can do is gerrymander more.

There are some blue states threatening to respond in kind, California and New York among them. California was once heavily gerrymandered to favor the GOP and we suffered terribly under the heavy hand of conservatism. The citizens managed to eliminate the rigging and California went blue again but the method we used to get back to fair also makes it very difficult for California to respond with it’s own, blue gerrymander. Newsom is trying anyway.

When I re-wrote the US Constitution, I included a bit that required each state’s congressional districts to be “as close to square shaped as possible.” The hope is that the requirement eliminates gerrymandering altogether. It’s cheating, pure and simple. Because of that, I’m not wholly on board with the idea of blue states gerrymandering to bring more blue seats. On the other hand, the red-hats are openly cheating and the country is suffering.

Do we really just stand around, squawking about honor and playing by the rules when we KNOW our opposition is openly cheating? In this case, losing with honor means losing the country. Like, entirely and forever. In view of the GOP nightmare we’ve already been treated to, I see blue-state gerrymandering as the lessor of two evils.

IF California can pull it off, we can bring as many as six more blue seats to Congress, offsetting the five Texas is trying to add. But it’s a big ‘if.’ Democrat Jared Huffman called the ploy a “race to the bottom” and I agree, but bringing a Marquess of Queensberry rule book to a gunfight seems like a losing tactic. I’ll tell you this: MAGAmerica sucks in every way…

I’m very sorry to learn of Loni Anderson’s passing just a few days shy of her 80th birthday after a prolonged illness. I was a great fan of the original ‘WKRP in Cincinnati,’ and her character, Jennifer Marlowe, along with Gary Sandy’s Andy Travis, was one of the two “adults” in the room…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Speaking of evil, Donny’s problem with Epstein seems to be leaving the news, just as the GOP hoped when they abandoned their jobs early to go on vacation rather than risk forcing 47 to release the files he promised to release. Yet another promise made, promise broken.

I understand why Donny wants the whole thing to go away. Based on the information currently available, I suspect he wasn’t JUST having sex with minors, he was part of the trafficking ring, supplying girls to Epstein via Mar-a-Lardo.

I have never seen such a unified, concerted effort to protect a child-raper as I’m seeing from the GOP and MAGA, though. This isn’t “shame,” it’s disgrace. I don’t have first-hand experience, of course, but my understanding is that in prison, fellow inmates are absolute in their “handling” of child-rapers. Murderers have better morals that MAGA!

I mean, it’s one thing to disagree about the best way to balance the budget but protect the pedophile? I will never understand…
