April 21, 2022: Today is the Political Resurrection of Ex-President Blubber!

 

4/21/22: I’ve been working recently to reorganize my blog to make it easier to read in shorter installments. I catch a few mistakes now and then, like misspelling Rep. Evan McMullin’s name in one post (“McMullen”). Otherwise, what I’ve said has held up well. I always thought Paul Manafort and Roger Stone were crooks. 

Both men racked up multiple felonies. Then that other crook, President Trump, pardoned them both.

TODAY, the big news starts with the political resurrection of ex-President Blubber. That’s my new descriptor for Trump – since he’s so fond of insulting terms, like “Sleepy Joe” Biden, “Mini-Mike Bloomberg, and “Lyin’ Ted” Cruz.

 

At least he got that last one right.

 

First, did you know poor, delusional Mike Lindell of My Pillow fame has his own TV show? On Tuesday, he explained to viewers how excited he was for this day. If “everything goes right,” he exclaimed, he would win a “ preliminary injunction” to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

 

Like Jesus, only not nearly so fast, Trump would roll aside the stone at Mar-a-Lago, rise from the political grave, and ascend to the White House again.

 

“Now, I’m not going to give all the details,” Lindell said, but assured his audience, “there’s a lot of surprises. It’s going to shock the country, as a matter of fact.”

 

It’s going to shock this liberal blogger, for sure, if anything of substance transpires. I don’t know. Call Lindell an optimist? He went on to blast the mainstream media for not taking his claims seriously, but I think I speak for all the other reptilian people (explained next) in saying, okay, these Trump fans are f**king nuts.

 

We can assume this guy will be thrilled if Lindell is right.

IF YOU ARE NOT on Twitter, I can tell you it can be a source of real humor, often unwittingly. Some left-wing group has been interviewing Trump fans, and making them look like wretched fools. 

I know we have fools on the liberal side, too, but I’m not sure we have anyone who believes President Trump was one of the “reptilian people.” Click on this link and you can watch a Trump cultist explain how Mr. Biden and many of us on our side are.

You can tell by the eyes.

IN OTHER NEWS you probably missed, more guns in more hands, and even more feet, have not made Americans safer. Death by injury has long been the number one cause of mortality for children, teens, and young adults, ages 1-24. For sixty years, car crashes were the top factor. In the Trump Era gun deaths surged. They now account for more injury-related deaths of young Americans than car wrecks. So saith the New England Journal of Medicine. 

Since 2000, deaths of young people in auto crashes have fallen 40%, in large part due to new safety regulations.

 

According to the noisiest voices on the right, however, we can’t have any sensible gun regulations, because that would mean the reptilian people would take over the country and make MAGA loyalists their sex slaves.

WE DO HAVE bits and pieces of good news to report. For example, Rejected-President Trump has lost a court case (again) and must pay former Apprentice star and White House Aide with No Qualifications Omarosa Manigault Newman’s $1.3 million legal fees. She should never have been given a White House position, but Trump gave her one regardless. When she turned against him, President Blubber called her a “dog,” and tried to stop her from publishing a book about what she knew – about what a litigious, cheating creep he really is.

WE ALSO LEARNED (because President Biden revealed his taxes) that he and the First Lady earned $610,702 in his first year in office. On that, they couple paid $150,429 in federal income taxes. 

By comparison, in 2017, during his first year in the White House, President Blubber paid a measly $750 to the feds. (The New York Times acquired a copy of Trump’s income taxes by some means.) 

This happy blogger always thought there was irony in the fact Blubber dodged taxes at every turn. He once complained, for example, that the U.S. military had no bullets to fire, before he took office. 

That wasn’t true, of course; but bullets do cost money; and if everyone paid taxes like Donald and Melania, and Ivanka and Jared, and the rest of their crew, the U.S. would probably still be riding to battle on foot and flying biplanes instead of Stealth fighter jets. Mr. Blogger can also report that he and his wife paid $27,351 in federal income tax for 2020. 

If nothing else, we pay our share to support the U.S. military, keep the national parks running well, and keep federal inspectors at work – checking the safety of the nation’s meat supply.

THERE WAS STILL MORE GOOD NEWS, when we learned that alleged January 6 rioter, Jerry Braun, had been arrested and charged for his participation in the Capitol Hill attack. Braun was identified with the help of an Uber driver, who gave him a lift on the evening of the Capitol Hill attack. Braun had been hit in the face by some object and later developed a nasty shiner.

A black eye and a likely stint in jail.

 

Among other charges, Mr. Braun stands accused of walloping a member of the free press with a board – which is probably the absolute worst way imaginable to stand up for freedom and keep Joe Biden from sinking his reptilian fangs into the U.S. Constitution. 

As NBC notes, based on a variety of tips, including video from a dash cam from the Uber driver,

 

The FBI served a search warrant of Braun’s residence in South El Monte, California, in November 2021, and Braun confessed he’d been in Washington at the Capitol attack, according to the affidavit.

 

“After being asked by the agents if BRAUN had anything he wanted to tell them before he departed the search location, BRAUN responded, “Guilty,’” the FBI affidavit stated. “When asked what he was guilty of, BRAUN responded, ‘Everything.’”

 

Poor Mr. Braun is likely to end up serving a lengthy stretch behind bars, mainly because he fell for the lies peddled by people like President Trump. Braun had traveled across the country to D.C., he says, to “stop the steal” of an election all evidence shows was never stolen. 

Although Trump certainly tried.

SPEAKING OF THE STEAL, Alex Jones, who helped push that very lie, is in negotiations with prosecutors to gain immunity and spill the beans on various plotters, who were working (for real) to steal the election for President Blubber. 

Not from him. (Someone should have warned poor Braun.) 

We can also report, if you missed it, that Jones is filing for bankruptcy protection – having been mangled in a series of civil cases filed against him by parents of children massacred at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. The ghoulish Mr. Jones had accused them of playing key roles in a “false flag” operation and pretending to have had their six- and seven-year-old sons and daughters riddled with bullets in their first grade classes one gory day. Piled on top of their agonies over the loss of loved ones, this lead fans of Jones’ Infowars program to barrage them with death threats and online attacks, and even occasional threatening in-person visits.

IF YOU ARE WORRIED about the reptilian people, I guess you have one bit of good news yourself, today. Dan Ball, who works a shift as host on One America News, made sure he explained to loyal listeners recently why he’s had his fill of the First Amendment – which also happens to protect his dumb, fascist ass. 

During one segment, he exploded: 

What the mainstream media has done is treasonous [he said], and we should take every single CEO that’s allowed it, every single host, and put them in a military tribunal, for treason to this nation, because they have constantly lied, and that’s just the last five years, since Donald Trump ran for president. We know they lied about the Russian hoax, and countless other things. But they’ve been lying, covering up, omitting facts to the American people, for decades now.

 

So f**k the Bill of Rights. Dan Ball wants to send American citizens to trial before military tribunals.

 

Bring back the firing squads, right?

FINALLY, Monica Crowley, former Fox News dope, is having a much better week, now that she can celebrate a judge’s decision to strike down the Biden administration’s mask mandates on public transportation. 

She said she had been “suffocating” wearing a mask – but now – let freedom ring! She could fly off and attend the military tribunals and not have to put on a “face diaper,” as those on the right like to call ordinary masks. (I admit: I am not aware of anyone pooping into their masks while riding planes.) 

Here’s her tweet, and my quick reply:

 

 

Anyway, I was fiddling around with that story, when I came upon a “solution” for people who hate “face diapers,” but don’t want to catch COVID and go to the hospital – or infect grandma and grandpa at the next family gathering. 

This story goes back to last December, but it’s worth noting that U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin), who is running for reelection, had a few COVID safety tips of his own. He told an audience that “there are things you can do, get Vitamin D, Zinc, keep yourself healthy, Vitamin C. By the way – standard gargle, mouthwash, has been proven to kill the coronavirus. Even if you get it, you may reduce viral application. Why not try out these things?” 

In the wake of the senator’s comments, Listerine felt a need to announce that its mouthwash was in no way intended to battle, let alone kill, the coronavirus.

 

This led Senator Ron “Gargle” Johnson to complain that his comments had been taken out of context, and he was in no way the boneheaded fool he sounded like on tape of his townhall meeting. 

This past January, we know Johnson hosted a panel discussion of some pretty impressive medical personnel – who pretty much said, f**k vaccines – we have better ideas for battling the virus. 

Here, we should note, there are medical experts, sprinkled here and there, who oppose the vaccines. Still, some of the claims made by members of Senator Gargle’s panel were flatly incorrect. Others were dubious, at best. Let’s just say, Johnson is doing his part to confuse the people who listen to him for advice. According to CDC, we have had 80.5 million cases of coronavirus in the U.S., to date. Almost 987,000 Americans have died. 

That would be one death for every 82 infections – way, way, way worse than any ordinary flu.

 

This dedicated blogger is retired and has time to dig into stories and try to find the relevant facts. So: Why not go  to the Wisconsin Department of Health, in Gargle’s own state, and see what they say! It turns out four percent of Wisconsinites who became infected with COVID ended up hospitalized. If grandma or grandpa were over 60, the odds ballooned to something like twenty percent. 

Yeah, f**k those “face diapers.” Let’s send some flowers to grandma at her hospital room. 

As for death rates from COVID, you were generally safe if, like Ms. Crowley, you were 53 years old. 

(Although I doubt any of us would want to hop on a plane, maskless or not, if we were told there was a 1 in 100 chance the aircraft was soon going to plummet from the sky.) 

In fact, had Ms. Crowley been infected, she would have had 99 out of a 100 chances of surviving her case.

The risk of death for older Americans rose sharply after that, to 1 in 50 if you were in your sixties, 1 in 20, if you were in your seventies, 1 in 10 in your eighties, and 1 in 5 if you were older than that. So, we’ve tried to explain this a thousand times. You wore masks, in large part, to protect others – older Americans, but also immune-compromised individuals who might be seated next to you on planes or trains or ox-carts. 

Shots, of course, were even better if you wanted to stay safe and help stop the rampant spread.

 

Last, but not least, I decided to check  and see. Did the Wisconsin Department of Health – again, the experts in Sen. Gargle’s own state – recommend mouthwash as a way to ward off disease?

 

Ah, here we go: “Protect your loved ones, neighbors, and fellow Wisconsinites by wearing a mask.”

 

Then: “COVID-19 vaccines are safe, effective, free, and widely available. Everyone 5 and older is recommended to receive a COVID-19 vaccine. You do not need an ID or insurance to get a vaccine.”

 

Frankly, by continuing to spread disinformation and disdain, Sen. Gargle and Ms. Crowley have been doing their part to get other Americans killed.

Yeah. Not gonna' work. Senator Gargle is a knucklehead.
