Random Thoughts On The Passing Scene
[Editor's Note: This was supposed to go live last week, but the tech went sideways on us for a bit]
Every so often, in the tradition of the irreplaceable Dr. Thomas Sowell, I like to make some observances on the vagueries of recent political and cultural events. Here’s a few.
It is way past time for the ‘legitimate’ (recognized) government of Yemen to prove that they are such, petition support from their obscenely wealthy emirati neighbors who are ALSO threatened by this irritating poodle snapping at the heels of Persian Gulf shipping, and put the Houthis down for good. Houthi & the Blowups have been playing their rendition of the 1812 Overture way too long, and it’s time to break up the band. The US Navy’s armed response to Somali piracy quelled the fire of that Bananastan, and I say we repeat it in Yemen if nobody else will.
On the Democratic National Committee front, I find it highly amusing how David Hoggs all the spotlight for himself, instead of playing ball with all the old mossbacks clutching their pearls (bought with insider trading proceeds) and swinging their Coach purses at his insolence. Hogg can barely raise a mustache and he’s raising tens of millions of dollars to defeat…Democrats?! These ‘rising stars’ the Democrat party was so quick to anoint are, it turns out, hard to handle and refusing to kowtow to the old guard and their ‘house rules’. There is nothing more amusing than genuine fear on the faces of Shumer and Pelosi, as they lose their grip of power on America, the culture and now, humorously, their own party. Grab some popcorn!
On the legal front, Sean Combs’ circus trial is finally in the sentencing stage, and from the testimony offered about all the wretched, scatological carnality we now can refer to him as ‘Pee Diddy’ with fresh understanding. He beat the big charges (overcharges it turns out, as the DA swung for the fences), and will probably get a 2-year wrist-slap sentence, but his reputation is forever debauched. A fitting end for an oily ri$er.
Simone raises some Bile recently with her insipid tweets about men in women’s locker rooms, while Riley Gaines greater respectability and has her collegiate swimming accomplishments reinstated. UPenn went into full prostrated grovel once Trump put the artery clamps on their government cash flow, suddenly realizing the error of their ways & means….Lia Thomas who?
Turning to the state of Cali-phonya, governor and greased cockroach Gavin Nuisance has been slapping at Trump’s federal incursions into the Beholden State’s rampant illegal immigrant problem with one hand, while begging with the other for federal aid to counter the effects of his profligate misspending and revenue loss from companies fleeing his anti-business tax policies & overregulation. Gavin’s least favorite entree is ‘Chicken come home to roost’. In LA, his fellow bloviator Mayor Karen ‘Largemouth’ Bass similarly complains about Trump having the gall to enforce federal immigration policy when clearly Los Angeles is morally superior and therefore exempt from federal law, because they are a self-declared ‘Sanctimony City’. I would point out that after all her’s and Nuisance’s promises to ‘expedite’ permits and approvals so fire victims can begin to rebuild their homes (and lives), six months later there are exactly NO homes under reconstruction in the affected areas. None. Anyone care for a bullet train ride from Merced to Bakersfield? Oh, that’s right…that $40 billion boondoggle isn’t functional either. The way Nuisance makes huge sums of money completely vanish would put David Copperfield to shame.
Oh well, I’m off to binge watch that latest popular Star Wars television series starring John De Lorean and his brother, Mann. Keep it real out there.
