Don on Don and his credulous boomer rubes

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

Here’s another #FeelTheBern from Don Lemon on CNN. It follows comments by President Donald Trump blaming his predecessor President Barack Obama for feckless leadership during a smaller pandemic 12 years ago. Lemon, who is black and gay, throws every fireball he can at the sitting president. 🔥

Donald Trump usually reacts to Lemon’s media slams. This one is from January following Don Lemon’s CNN guests mocking Trump fans as “credulous boomer rubes” with thick southern accents who can’t read maps or string together complete sentences.

Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign released a new ad today highlighting the expected post-Covid19 economic boom and ongoing derision from Democrats and media.

Watch this space! 2020 is going to be a fascinating political seesaw. 🔥

Three years later, politics are still LOUDER THAN LIFE

Kellyanne Conway in the Oval Office with college presidents and President Donald Trump, March 2017

It’s been exactly three years since President Donald Trump’s top confidant Kellyanne Conway jumped on the radio with me and the electricity was evident.

Here’s the audio link.

Now that we are into the 2020 election season, has the daily drama slowed? Kellyanne didn’t like me pointing out that most Americans just want to live their daily lives without governmental drama from loud, abrasive tweets and verbal jousts.

Let’s see how the rest of the campaign plays out. One thing is for sure, Americans miss the placid days before Twitter turned people into electronic snipers.

Ricky Gervais pushes the WOKE army’s buttons again

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

Ricky Gervais is a fearless comedian who rips into Hollywood arrogance like no other. His most recent hosting job at the 2020 Golden Globes was close to brilliant in that it upsets just about everyone, a rarity in today’s culture of snowflake sensitivity.

Self-important, politically condescending, private jet flying, hypocritical Hollywood elites had to sit stone faced on a live NBC broadcast and quiver as Gervais scanned the room, methodically lancing the oversized egos of these pampered crybabies.

It was gorgeous.

God Bless the blunt truth telling of Ricky Gervais. That’s a joke, of course, because Ricky Gervais is an avowed atheist. For Hollywood elites, Gervais’s mockery of religion is his only saving grace. (That’s another religion joke, BTW).

Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook looked like he was prepping for a colonoscopy as Gervais correctly pointed out that the tech company pretends to be WOKE yet operates Chinese sweatshops. How many Apple employees watching at home must have thrown their fists into the air and roared with laughter?

Apple CEO Tim Cook did not appear to enjoy comedian Ricky Gervais torching his company on the Golden Globes telecast.

Gervais reminded the gathered stars that they had no business spewing their political ideology since most of them had attended fewer school classes than media darling climate activist teenager Greta Thunberg, a dropout.

Perhaps Gervais’ sharpest attack was aimed at all of the gathered Hollywood executives, telling the viewers that the assembled bosses are “all terrified of Ronan Farrow. He’s coming for you! Talking of all you perverts…”

Farrow’s book Catch and Kill chronicles dozens of sexual assault claims made against Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, accused of raping and assaulting over 100 women trying to find acting work.

For all of Gervais’ affected roasting of hypersensitive celebs, some powerfully poignant words came from Saturday Night Live comedian/actor Kate McKinnon. In presenting a major comedy award to Ellen DeGeneres, McKinnon cited her “bravery (in going public about being gay, and) what that has meant to me and how that’s changed my life.”

LGBTQ people have been harassed, bullied, and beaten down since the beginning of time so it is moving when two famous and influential lesbians are able to share words of support in front of millions of TV viewers without it raising a ruckus.

Maybe we are finally growing up in this sexually uptight society. Maybe.

Ellen DeGeneres comes out in TIME, April 1997

Ellen opened the gates for lots of other people to thrive professionally and personally outside of the shadows.

Of course many other Golden Globe celebrities couldn’t resist turning an awards show about great movies and shows into political grandstanding. There was the always predictable ORANGE MAN BAD Trump bashing, clucking about climate change, and a pregnant lady reminding people that she is judge and jury over whether another person lives or dies. How sweet.

Shiny trophy or baby? None of your bees wax. It’s all in mom’s values.

Just don’t call anyone fat or Lizzo will twerk you into submission.

This author gets it right.

Mitch McConnell on Bevin’s tight primary win, impeachment value for GOP, Trump vs Pelosi, and vaping teens

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin at the 2016 Republican National Convention

After a surprisingly close primary win for Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin, I asked Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell if he would offer support for Bevin’s re-election in the November general election.

McConnell and Bevin in the WHAS Radio studio (2015)

McConnell and Bevin have a complicated relationship stemming back to Bevin’s campaign to unseat McConnell in 2014. The McConnell team labeled their opponent Bailout Bevin, calling him a con man and liar.

Today on WHAS Radio, Senator McConnell promised to fully support Bevin’s re-election. Kentucky’s senior senator also touted attorney general candidate Daniel Cameron, a former McConnell staffer. Kentucky has not had a Republican attorney general since the 1940s.

As for the ongoing acrimony between President Trump and Speaker Nancy Pelosi, here are both sides of the story. First from the Speaker of the House:

Trump aide Kellyanne Conway said Pelosi’s account of the failed presidential meeting was untrue, that Trump calmly left the room and Pelosi told Conway “I don’t speak to staff.”

Nancy Pelosi called Mitch McConnell “The Grim Reaper” but he says she is just repeating a title he bestowed on himself.

📻 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell jumped on the radio with me to talk about chicken chomping Democrats, why he is proudly called The Grim Reaper, defining socialism in 2019, if investigating the investigators is overkill, Speaker Nancy Pelosi calling AG William Barr a criminal, Sen. Mazie Hirono lobbing 🔥 at Trump, just WHO IS REALLY IN CHARGE!, and Liberals’ favorite Kentucky Derby horse 🎙️ 🏇🏽 840WHAS #USpolitics

Represent.us — Welcome to the Jennifer Lawrence civics class and the things she left out

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

For over two years, America’s news anchors have been breathlessly declaring that Donald Trump’s presidency “is near the end” with daily BOMBSHELL reports of “the walls closing in” toward impeachment.

Louisville actor Jennifer Lawrence and her politically active friends claim they’re offering a nonpartisan solution to America’s hysteria-driven news cycle.

Jennifer Lawrence and Represent.us have a strategy to change our political system. Will it fly?

What Jennifer is not acknowledging is that too many megaphones with differing opinions all monetize misery. MSNBC, CNN, The New York Times, et al. make a living by siding with liberals on virtually every issue, always demonizing the conservatives. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Breitbart, et al. do the same thing in reverse.

THere’s money in them there arguments! That’s why the represent us pipe dream is mostly fantasy. Why unite when there is profiteering in discord?

Jennifer is oft quoted throwing shade at the current president. Now for some balance, here is President Donald Trump’s speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference gathering on March 2, 2019

…and Trump’s battles with the media mean they will breathlessly report that “the walls are closing in” until the next president is in office.

Take Trump out of the conversation for a minute. Research coverage of Barack Obama vs coverage of George W. Bush. Do the same research comparing coverage of Jimmy Carter vs. Ronald Reagan.

You already know the answers.

The tone of the news media’s general reporting on the next president can be determined in advance. All we need to know is the next president’s party affiliation and the tone of media reporting can be predicted with accuracy right now.

Parade of Political Puke

Posted on by Posted in Uncategorized

Here are the most bizarre political commercials running across America leading up to the 2018 midterms. >>>>MIND BLOWN<<<< Following the Kavanaugh hearings, African American women fear white girls who could falsely accuse black men and boys.

How about insinuating that the incumbent is a barfly who is trolled by a cappella karaoke?

In the #MeToo era, is it smart to use serial dick pic texter Brett Favre to pitch woo for a woman candidate?

A Colorado candidate must’ve been smoking legal weed when he decided to get pepper sprayed to illustrate how teachers could stop school shooters. After the heavy stream hits his eyes, he essentially waterboards himself to try and ease the pain of the pepper spray. Apparently Steve-O was unavailable.

This Brett Kavanaugh vs. “college professor WE MUST BELIEVE” tussle is the latest American flamethrower.

Should our high school horndog moments haunt us 35 years later?

YES! If they involve sexual abuse, lack of consent, or radiating pain for a victim.
NO! If it’s a thinly-veiled political stunt to ruin someone’s life.

Liberals demand that WE BELIEVE WOMEN unless they are conservative women accusing, say, Bill Clinton. Do any of these people who automatically believe Kavanaugh’s accuser put the same blind faith into rape and sexual abuse claims by Paula Jones, Kathleen Willey, Juanita Broderick, or other accusers of Clinton?

But that’s old news. How about this week’s double standard of Liberal inability to recognize Liberal sexual and/or violent abusers?

A few days ago, the attorney for professor Christine Blasey Ford made a clear legal decision that her client was ready to testify before the Kavanaugh SCOTUS rush chairman and his stooges.

That same attorney was seen on an ABC News clip last year declaring that she would “resist” the Trump administration. Hmmm…she seems like an impartial woman with no ax to grind.

Katz is now demanding a full FBI investigation before she can testify. Sen. Diane Feinstein was not forthcoming about Blasey Ford’s accusation during her private senate meeting with Kavanaugh, leading to speculation that the entire saga is just a political stunt to delay the nomination process.

Katz hates Trump. Katz’s client wants to derail a Trump supreme court nominee.

Due process? What kind of chicanery are you suggesting, you, you, you…MAN!

There are some gaping holes in the fluctuating story of Christine Blasey Ford. What year? Where? Who was there?

But I am a man. I will refrain from commenting since men are supposed to STAY IN YOUR LANE on issues that involve women. Don’t mind the rest of us. Carry on with your partisan meltdown.

I’ll just stay over here playing backgammon with Merrick Garland.
