All sales are final.
A masterclass in elocution by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki:
I gotta admit this was the best laugh I had all day.
The Great Reset summarized:
The Great Reset is such an obviously doom-filled notion that you have to wonder why anyone would even bother trotting it out. If something like this was actually instituted, the inevitable result would be Eat The Rich and street corner guillotines. I can only see two explanations:
1: This is a world-class Trumpian troll. Perhaps the bajillionaires involved in the World Economic Forum did this as some sort of drunken bet just to see how many morons would sign up, or to see what kind of chaos could be created from the inevitable outrage.
2: Ideology. Only whackadoodle political or religious ideologies can make people who should know better actually think that planned, centralized economies are a good thing, that the wants and desires of entire populations can be scheduled in advance, that people will be satisfied with less, that people do not have self-interest or a desire to won their own stuff.
3: The ultimate reason why.
And here we go:
Today, I am calling on Congress to enact commonsense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets.
Well, that would seem to be incitement to insurrection, since he’s calling for the jailing of tens of millions of American citizens. It’s certainly a call to violate the Constitution. Should Congress begin impeachment proceedings?
OK, so I’m not a Christian; certainly not a Catholic. Buuuuutttt… I’m not sure about whether the Catholic Church has this much sway over Evangelicals, who I understand to generally *not* actually be Catholics. And I’m not sure what Noted Hollywood Intellectual Sean Penn’s problem with satin is. Perhaps it’s not good enough for his silk-pampered caboose.
Evangelical leaders should themselves be impeached by the Vatican if they themselves don’t follow Nikki Haley’s lead & clearly state they should not have followed Satin into the bowels of hell. But, perhaps they are too busy at sex parties.

Perhaps the Vatican should impeach all those Rabbis and Imams and Lamas and such who express wrongthink? I’m sure that’ll go over a treat. You go get ’em, Spicoli!
So, Orange Man Bad, private citizen, is being tried by the Senate for using words that the Dems claim incited viole4nce that was planned well before he actually spoke. So, the following montage seems a little bit interesting.
The actress Gina Carano is probably best known for playing the character Cara Dune on the Disny+ series “The Mandalorian.” She is probably second-best known for being an conservative in Hollywood, and for being open about it. She has tweeted a number of things that have set off the twitter mob. Most recently, this:
Her point seems to be that being a Republican these days is like being a Jew in Nazi Germany, where random strangers are taught that it’s ok to attack you in the streets. Is she hyperbolic? Yeah. Is she *wrong?* Welllllll…
So, after saying that being a Republican can get you attacked, what happened?
Disney fired her.
a Lucasfilm spokesperson said the following: “Gina Carano is not currently employed by Lucasfilm and there are no plans for her to be in the future. Nevertheless, her social media posts denigrating people based on their cultural and religious identities are abhorrent and unacceptable.”
Claim that you are being unfairly targeted? Clearly you are a nut, so we will try to erase your career. That will show you the error of your ways. Bad, bad Gina! Wrongthink!
I’ll just leave this here:
Something everyone can get behind:
One of the most important points that is commonly raised about the January 6 weirdness at the Capitol is that a police officer was murdered, bashed in the head with a fire extinguisher by a Trump supporter.
Yeah, about that, CNN has some relevant info:
According to one law enforcement official, medical examiners did not find signs that the officer sustained any blunt force trauma, so investigators believe that early reports that he was fatally struck by a fire extinguisher are not true.
Basically, Officer Sicknick fell ill later that day and died the next. The cause, at least publicly, remains unknown… as does the identity of the Capitol police officer who summarily executed Ashli Babbit for trespassing. In contrast, the police officers who were involved with the death of George Floyd were identified publicly and fired inside of a day. The investigative journalism world would seem to have some opportunities here for breaking a few stories.
A little while back, one of President Bidens first actions was to overturn a Trump ban on turning the American electrical grid over to the control of the Chinese Communist Party. Clearly only right-wing nutjobs would be opposed to China digging deeply into vital American infrastructure. Chinese construction quality, customer service and ethics are world renowned and should not be questioned. Here’s an example of what we can look forward to from our future ChiGreenCom power systems:
Feh.
Communist crap is to be avoided at all costs. Communist *control* is to be actively resisted. The ChiComs have nothing to offer. Their lackeys – paid and otherwise – have nothing to offer. You want quality? Go with good old American craftsmanship.
