I was enjoying a quiet Saturday evening, smoking a cigar, sipping Scotch, and then some Democrat jackball decides to attempt to assassinate the President, who was attending The White House Correspondents Dinner at the Washington Hilton Hotel. That is 3 times in just a little over 2 years.
The would be assassin is a public school teacher from Los Angeles. He is a Kamala supporter. And he had no real plan. Carrying multiple firearms, he charged the ballroom entrance, was confronted by a uniformed Secret Service officer, and shot him. He was immediately set upon by other officers, and arrested.
Shortly after the shooting incident, some journalists took to social media, and speculated that they–not the President–were the targets of the would be assassin. Oh, please! No one knows who you are. And if they did, they would not care. You are not that important.
Leftists immediately flooded social media, lamenting that the would be assassin failed to murder President Trump. Can you imagine being such a miserable person that you wished for another’s death? How awful!
Does anyone else notice that Leftists want to confiscate all guns? That is, all guns but those they have, and with which they wish to murder their political opponents.
Some time ago, English bought Dudley a toy hippopotamus. It is adorable, purple, and makes a grunting sound when squeezed. English assumed that Dudley would like the hippo, because he has many toy animals, all of which he plays with, and loves. But he hates the hippo. HATES IT! I do not understand. I think that the hippo is great. Sometimes I play with the hippo. It is a very cool hippopotamus.
Reflecting again on the direction that the Commonwealth of Virginia is headed, Robert, Will, Jason, and I have discussed many options, including the secession of Southside Virginia from the rest of the Commonwealth. Most recently, we are considering purchasing a compound in South Carolina. It would be large, conducive to socializing, and, importantly, walled off to keep those other than family and invited guests out. It might be an option. Will has already volunteered to manage “Pizza Night” (Sundays).
But maybe Texas would be a better choice. It would be further away. But land may be cheaper and more available. Since before its breakaway from Mexico, Virginians migrated to Texas in search of new opportunities. Indeed, the Texas Republic was founded by Virginians.
Of course, none of these things may come to pass. Because while we ponder and wonder, 4 important people–Angie, Susan, Kate, and English–have not signed off on any such plans. Sigh. Maybe it is just as well. If we move, it will be a longer drive to the Elmwood Bar, and the 1st tee, at Chatmoss.
Actually, it may not matter whether we move or not. According to The New York Times, the world will end in 2085, the result of “climate change”. Stop me if you have heard this before. Say in 2000, 2010, 2020, etc.
The European Union is already preparing to combat “climate change”, by mandating that employees work 1 day per week from home. Labor unions are already preparing to strike over the increased work requirements. The European Union also wants more windmills and solar farms built, because last Winter was not cold enough for their citizens.
But more can be done. Perhaps Al Gore will make another movie about global warming. Greta Thunberg can organize another flotilla to cross the North Atlantic ocean. And perhaps we should eliminate, not just styrofoam cups, but all disposable cups. People can just drink their coffee directly from the 7-11’s coffee dispensers.
In 2085, I shall be 125 years old. English will still be making my martinis. Our grandchildren will be bringing Holland over for visits. Life will still be grand. I see no reason to worry about it.
The United States Immigration Court of Appeals has ruled that President Obama’s [lawless] DACA protections no longer act to prevent deportations of illegal aliens. WINNING!
The United States Department of Justice dropped its investigation into Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Jerome Powell. Okay. So, Senator [Thom] Tillis (R. N.C.), on what basis will you obstruct the President’s nomination of Kevin Warsh now?
“The time for free riding is over. America and the free world deserve allies who are capable, who are loyal, and who understand that being an ally is not a one way street. We barely use the Strait of Hormuz as a country. Our energy doesn’t flow through there, and we have plenty of energy. We are not counting on Europe, but they need the Strait of Hormuz much more than we do, and might want to start doing less talking and having less fancy conferences in Europe and getting a boat.”
–Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
Puddin’head is back in the news. She accused President Trump of being a misogynist because he only fires women from his Administration. Hmmm. Did Puddin’head ever consider that the only reason women have been fired from the Trump Administration is that they were hired in the 1st place?
“Representative McBride does not know what a woman is”.
–Trump Administration spokesman Taylor Rogers.
Representative Tim McBride (D. De.), who goes by “Sarah”, as he thinks he is a she, piled on, stating that he/she was personally offended as a “woman” that President Trump had only fired women. No, he is not. Because Representative McBride is not a woman. Representative McBride is a man in a dress.
Also, last time I checked, Navy Secretary Phelan was fired. He is a man.
“The law is with us in Virginia. The facts are with us in Virginia, and the people are with us in Virginia. There’s no basis in law or fact for the Virginia Supreme Court under the Constitution that exists, particularly in the aftermath of a people-approved referendum to allow it to move forward.”
–Representative Hakeem Jeffries (D. N.Y.), demonstrating his absolute ignorance of Virginia law. Maybe he should read Virginia’s Constitution. Maybe he should read Virginia’s statutes. Maybe he should read the well-reasoned opinions of the Tazewell County Circuit Court.
Perhaps Mr. Jeffries has forgotten that Californians overwhelmingly passed Proposition 8, which defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman. And after they did, the Democrats went to court anyway, to get the matter overturned, and thwarting the electorate’s will. And the courts obliged. OH, but that is different. No it is not.
“If I were a gambling man, I’d bet on it.”
–Former Virginia Attorney General Kenneth Cuccinelli (R.), opining on whether the Supreme Court of Virginia will vacate the April 21 redistricting referendum.
If I were a gambling man, I would bet on Ken Cuccinelli’s opinion over that of Hakeem Jeffries. Because Ken Cuccinelli actually understands Virginia law.
Senator John Kennedy (R. La.) tried to insert provisions of the SAVE AMERICA Act into the pending reconciliation resolution. The Act will safeguard federal elections, requiring proof of citizenship, as well as Voter ID. It is pure common sense. But 4 Republican Senators voted against Senator Kennedy’s efforts, dooming the amendment. Thank you Senators Lisa Murkowski (R. Ak.), Susan Collins (R. Me.), Mitch McConnell (R. Ky.), and Thom Tillis (R. N.C.). The Stupid Party Lives!
The United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled 2-1 that President Trump’s declaration of an emergency at the U.S./Mexico border was “illegal”. Goodness, what would constitute an emergency, if not what confronted Mr. Trump in 2024? And since when does the Court get to second guess the President’s determination?
Virginia State Senator Lamont Bagby (D. Richmond) insists he knows and understands the needs of rural voters, even though he resides in the City of Richmond, and represents that area. How so? Senator Bagby assures all that he “grew up with Opie [from The Andy Griffith Show]”. He also watched television shows such as The Dukes of Hazzard and The Waltons. Huh. So, by Senator Bagby’s logic, I am qualified to be head of the NAACP, because as a child I watched Sanford and Son.
“The State of Maryland has one of the worst outward migration numbers of any state in the country right now. So, I don’t know who’s going to be the last to foot the bill for the profligate spending that Annapolis likes to engage in, but it’s not going to be me, I can tell you that.”
–Carroll County, Maryland State’s Attorney Haven Shoemaker.
Outraged parents attended a public School Board meeting in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. The parents were there to protest the inclusion of a book in an elementary school library that had pictures of 2 men, dressed in BDSM attire, holding hands and kissing. Superintendent Rodney Trice responded by stating that he saw nothing wrong with the book, and that it merely depicted a couple “in love”, and was perfectly normal and suitable for small children. Uh, no. No it is not. Hell, it is not perfectly normal and suitable for adults.
California ranks 49th in the quality of its roads. Given the high amount of transportation related taxes, the poor quality of California roads is unfathomable. And it will only get worse, as Governor Gavin Newsom (D.) wants to divert a large chunk of those transportation related tax dollars is diverted to subsidize companies promising to develop “green” jet fuel. Another government boondoggle, designed to fail, and screw the taxpayers.
At a recent California gubernatorial debate, the moderators asked the candidates if they supported requiring holders of Commercial Drivers Licenses to be able to read and understand the English language. EVERY DEMOCRAT candidate responded that they did not support such a requirement, because it is “racist”. Oh, my goodness!
“That there is someone to support us in the future, delivering our message to the international community, and amplifying our call to liberate Palestinian prisoners, as well as to liberate all societies from servitude and from bigotry, which produces populations complicit in perpetrating inhumane laws.”
–Israa Jaabis.
Israa Jaabis is a failed “Palestinian” suicide bomber. She was released from an Israeli prison in exchange for the release of innocent civilian hostages seized by Hamas in October 2023. Last week she spoke to an audience of law students at the University of California (Berkeley), and was received by loud, raucous applause. The law students praised her as a “prisoner of conscience”. Sigh. Words fail me. Just unbelievable.
Daniel Lee Smith is serving a much too short a prison sentence for murder, having been convicted in Oregon. While incarcerated, Mr. Smith deemed himself to be a woman, and changed his name to Zera Lola Zombie. And now Mr. Smith has received a large settlement–$295,000.00–from the Oregon Department of Corrections, based upon allegations of “abuse”. What was the “abuse”? The Oregon Department of Corrections house him in a men’s prison. Because no matter what Daniel Smith thinks, he is a man. Gosh, Oregon’s State government is populated by morons.
Illegal aliens and [legally] visiting aliens now account for almost 10% of U.S. births. This is not sustainable. It is national suicide.
ARC Burger, LLC, one of the nation’s largest franchisees of Hardee’s restaurants, is in bankruptcy, and will begin liquidation. ARC Burger will close 77 Hardee’s locations in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Montana, South Carolina and Wyoming. The proceeds from the liquidation will be distributed to creditors. That is a real shame. Can you imagine not being able to pick up a Hardee’s biscuit sandwich for breakfast?
Former Minnesota Viking defensive lineman Doug Martin has died at age 68. R. I. P.
