May 2, 2019: Attorney General Bill Barr Ducks Testimony, Steven Moore Loses a Job

 

5/2/19: Attorney General Barr is so worn out after four hours of testimony on May 1 (compared to the eleven-hour grilling Secretary Clinton sat through during the Benghazi hearing), he decides to skip an appearance in front of the House Judiciary Committee, which is chaired by a Democrat. 

He’s afraid lawmakers will be mean. 

Democrats respond to his non-appearance by placing a placard with his name in front of a microphone. They also add a chicken figurine. (I would have added crossed Russian flags, but that’s just me.)

“Drunken, lustful frat boys!”

 IN OTHER NEWS, Steven Moore withdraws his name from consideration to be appointed to the Federal Reserve Board. 

Apparently, insulting comments about women he made in the past are too much even for GOP senators like Joni Ernst of Iowa and Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia. Here’s Moore outlining his position on college girls and date rape and other problems they “say” they encounter: 

Colleges are places for rabble-rousing. For men to lose their boyhood innocence. To do stupid things. To stay out way too late drinking. To chase skirts. It’s all a time-tested rite of passage into adulthood. And the women seemed to survive just fine. If they were so oppressed and offended by drunken, lustful frat boys, why is it that on Friday nights they showed up in droves in tight skirts [emphasis added] to the keg parties?

 

Yes: tight skirts! 

Time to lose your boyhood innocence, lustful frat boys, even if the girls do object to losing their girlhood innocence. 

It doesn’t help, either, when we learn Moore is for bringing back child labor, that he thinks the biggest economic problem today is declining wages for men (even though they still make more than women), that he doesn’t like the idea of women in combat, and once said that letting women be involved in NCAA sports was ruining all the fun for men. Well, unless the women looked like Bonnie Bernstein. “Women are permitted to participate,” he once wrote, “if and only if, they look like (sportscaster) Bonnie Bernstein. The fact that Bonnie knows nothing about basketball is entirely irrelevant.” 

To hammer home his argument and make clear his position on the role of women in sports, Moore insisted Bernstein should wear a halter-top during broadcasts. He called that a “no-brainer.” 

You can see why President Pussy Grabber likes him. 

Moore's idea of the perfect female sportscaster.

 

 

CROOKS IN BUSINESS: You don’t have to be a commie to think that government oversight of business is often a fine idea. 

Case in point: NASA has uncovered evidence that an aluminum manufacturer, Sapa Profiles Inc., has been falsifying test data and selling faulty material. This has forced NASA to cancel two missions – and absorb a loss of $700 million. 

Somehow, the math doesn’t seem to work. But Sapa has agreed to pay a civil fine of $46.9 million. 

As one DOJ official explains, “Corporate and personal greed perpetuated this fraud against the government and other private customers, and this resolution holds these companies accountable for the harm caused by their scheme.”
