“The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth.”
–H.L. Mencken.
The Democrats, with an assist of 4 Republicans, passed a resolution forcing the President to withdraw our military from the Iranian theatre of combat. Now what message do you think that sends to the Iranians? Do you think that this will make it easier or harder to resolve hostilities with Iran? C’mon, man!
On June 14, a UFC match will be held at The White House, on the South Lawn. All the usual suspects are outraged. Many insist that it is beneath the dignity of the presidency to host such a match. Perhaps these historically ignorant folks have forgotten that President Theodore Roosevelt regularly hosted boxing matches at The White House, and often participated in the matches.
Others claim that the UFC is a symbol of “fascism”. They say that the UFC is something that Putin would have at the Kremlin. Hmmmm.
But the all time best comes from the “Reverend” Al Sharpton, who claims the UFC match is “racist” because it pits blacks against blacks, fighting each other for the white man’s entertainment, just like during slavery. Just 1 problem; there are no black UFC fighters scheduled on the card.
“Reverend” Al was on a roll, however, and kept going. Not only is the UFC fight “racist”, but President Trump is a “certified racist”, because there is a picture of Andrew Jackson in the Oval Office. Andrew Jackson was a U.S. military General, the hero of The Battle of New Orleans, and the 7th U.S. President. Sigh.
“I stand with Dr. Christine Blasey Ford. Brett Kavanaugh is not fit to sit on the Supreme Court.”
–Representative Ro Khanna in 2018.
“I’m more concerned about making it clear that we’re opposed to misogyny, those relationships were toxic and volatile, there’s no excuse for that. I talked to Graham [Platner] and he says he was at a very dark period, he had come back from two tours of duty in Iraq as an infantry man seeing violence and death. That doesn’t excuse it. [But] he really grew as a person when he came back to Maine and he was an oyster farmer and he found peace and he is ashamed of that period. To me that suggests someone taking accountability and improving their lives and we need that redemption in this country. And I agree with a lot of his economic policies, that we should be taxing the billionaires, we should be focusing on the working class.”
–Representative Ro Khanna in 2026.
If it were not for double standards, Democrats would have not standards at all.
Representative Rashida Tlaib (D. Mi.) introduced legislation requiring the President to withdraw all U.S. troops from Lebanon. It failed, overwhelmingly. You see, there are no U.S. troops in Lebanon. There have not been any U.S. troops in Lebanon since 1983.
“Why I am conflicted about this country because I feel that it is at this point a failed experiment, quite frankly. I am also discouraged by how this country is viewed by the rest of the world. I’m embarrassed at our government. I’m embarrassed at our lack of healthcare. I’m embarrassed on the assault on the press. I’m embarrassed of our Congress. I’m embarrassed by the criminal felon president that is in the Oval Office that has a UFC cage on the White House lawn. I’m embarrassed about all those things, and I’m also embarrassed at how America is now seen across the globe. I don’t think that many Americans understand that we are part of a wonderful global community, and when you look at our ally, our allies are now giving us a one-star rating as a country.”
–ABC’s The View co-host Sunny Hostin.
ABC News should be embarrassed that it puts Sunny Hostin on the air. I am certainly embarrassed that Sunny Hostin is an American citizen.
“I guess I broke my boycott. And yeah, but I, you know, I don’t know. What do you want me to say about that?”
–Seattle, Washington’s inarticulate, socialist mayor, Katie Wilson.
Earlier this year, Mayor Wilson organized a boycott of Starbucks, the home grown coffee chain, that is a major employer in Seattle. But then Starbucks struck back, moving its corporate headquarters to Tennessee, and closing stores across Seattle. Mayor Wilson snuck into one of the remaining local Starbucks stores to buy a coffee and a blueberry muffin, and got caught by a reporter in the process.
In Port St. Lucie, Florida, a homeowners’ association implemented a rule preventing residents (or anyone) from carrying a firearm in the neighborhood’s common areas. Florida’s Attorney General swiftly responded, reminding the HOA that all gun laws in the Sunshine State must emanate from the legislature. WINNING!
California Democrats are openly stealing the Los Angeles mayoral, and the State gubernatorial elections from the Republican candidates. Where is the outrage about this threat to “our democracy”?
California is a failed State. If it were a separate country, it would be a failed Third World country. Why in the world does it take 30 days (or more) to tabulate votes and report election results?
The Presbyterian Church USA is in the midst of a civil war. It seems that there is great opposition to a proposal to require Presbyterian ministers to be “monogamous”. Some are arguing that such a requirement would infringe upon a minister’s “right” to engage in a polyamorous relationship. Sigh. Do the Presbyterians even read, much less believe, in The Bible?
McDonald’s restaurants are changing their drive-thru lanes to be powered by Artificial Intelligence. No human interaction required. What could possibly go wrong?
The Los Angeles Dodgers unveiled a permanent display at Dodgers Stadium, honoring homosexual “trailblazers”. Sigh. What message does that send? That sodomy is simply another life choice? That your sexual predilections–which should be kept to yourself–are a basis for honoring you as an individual? What? This is some sick, disgusting, stuff.
The Dodgers also broke out their “Pride Night” hats in a game against the Los Angeles Angels. The players wore them. EXCEPT for relief pitcher Blake Treinan, who entered the game wearing his regular hat. Blake Treinan is a deeply religious man who refused to bend a knee to the “Gay Mafia”.
The story ends with Blake Treinan throwing but 1 pitch to get the Dodgers out of a jam, and eventually able to win the game. No “Pride Night” hat? NO PROBLEM!
As in previous years, the Texas Rangers are refusing to celebrate “Pride Month”. Instead, this year the Rangers are holding a “Faith & Family Night”. Cue the outrage from the usual suspects.
Congratulations to Golden Tempo on winning The Belmont Stakes. Coupled with his win in The Kentucky Derby, this has been a good year for the 3 year old.
Former U.S. Senator Robert Packwood (R. Or.) has died at age 93. R. I. P.
