From January 25, 2018
It wouldn’t surprise me to find others writing up this scenario: it just naturally springs to mind.
Of course, this is just a way-out satire that could never, ever happen in real life…
We keep saying that, and keep finding out we’re wrong.
1.3%! Head for the hills before she does something to make it worse.
In a recent poll, the president of Peru, Dina Boluarte, chalked up a 1.3% popularity score… making her somewhat less popular than head-hunting (https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4331436/posts).
Ms. Doluarte was running for vice-president when her running mate was kicked off the ballot for corruption, leaving her in the presidential slot.
The mystery is, who the dickens voted for her? Think about that 1.3% popularity score. The Edsel did better than that. So do clothes moths. Peru’s political science landscape must be worse than a hall of mirrors.
Once upon a time Doluarte advertised herself as a communist. Then she took it back. Either way, fooey.
We’ll just have to wait and see what happens next.
Send in the clowns. Send in the droids.
Hey, remember this?
Yessireebob! It was time for a Revolution! The New York Times was celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution, which loosed communism against the world.
But what happened to that 2017 Revolution? Did it fail to come off? Like, Americans didn’t jump at the chance to overthrow their government and run up the hammer & sickle over the Capitol? After all the riots nationwide, of course.
The United States is unique in tolerating the presence of people who want to destroy her.
He’s looking for a friend in the White House
No, it’s not a put-on. Vladimir Putin has thrown his support to Kamala Harris for president (https://www.foxnews.com/world/putin-says-he-backs-harris-over-trump-adds-hes-ready-talks-ukraine).
A quote from the Russian boss: “She laughs so expressively and infectiously–”
[Run screaming to the sidewalk.]
This 2024 political season is about as crazy as it gets. I thought Putin was supposed to be The Bad Guy. Oh, tut-tut–Donald Trump is The Bad Guy.
O readers, make of this what you will. Gee, maybe she could sew it all up if she gets Xi Jin Ping’s endorsement, too.
It wouldn’t surprise me.
Visit supermarket: that’s done. Now it’s after 1:00.
I don’t particularly feel like writing politics today, but it’s distressing to see “Harris for President” lawn signs in my neighborhood. Have they never heard her talk? Have they never heard her cackle? She was yukking it up at a funeral a few days ago. Can they make sense out of anything she says?
It’s a fact that millions of Americans are going to vote for this babbling dindle. This is a mental landscape I care not to explore. You might not come out alive.
That she could even be imagined as president of anything is cause for serious concern.
Congress will spend $160 billion to create a super-sized replica of Egypt’s famous (no, I do not say “iconic”!) Great Sphinx… with “President” Joe Biden’s face.
“He was one of our greatest presidents ever!” exulted Rep. Lucy Braino (D-CA). “It’s only right for us to immortalize him in imperishable stone. Or plastic.”
Five days ago Congresswoman Braino joined a posse of Democrat legislators calling for Biden to buzz off and not seek re-election. Since he announced he wouldn’t run again, they’re all back on the reservation, lauding wisdom and virtues that no one ever knew he had. Until now.
Rep. Braino has also offered legislation to change the name of the month of July to “Joe Bee” and proclaim Biden a god.
“Don’t forget,” she said, “he can always run again in 2028! We’re just giving him a little rest after his herculean achievements in office. Not everybody can do what he’s done! Our border is secure, our military is ready to go toe-to-toe with Climate Change, and our schools and colleges are making sexual minorities a majority. What’s not to like!”
[Editors’ Note: No, we don’t know where Biden is just now, either.]
I was on YouTube yesterday when I encountered an eye-popping short–Joe Biden announcing that he will not run for re-election.
Wow! Ya don’t say? Tell me more! Crikey, I heard it clear as a bell! “I will not seek re-election…” It sure looked and sounded genuine to me.
I looked all over, but this story was not to be found on any of a dozen news sites. I went back to YouTube and the short wasn’t there anymore. And it was removed from “History,” too.
There wasn’t any “more.” There wasn’t even what I’d started with. Gone as if it had never been. I guess YouTube took it down.
I am trying to imagine an America where doddering, corrupt Joe Biden steps down and he is replaced as president by Kacklin’ Kamala, the diversity hire vice president. I’m a professional fantasy writer, so I should be able to imagine this. Edgar Allan Poe could have imagined it. H.P. Lovecraft could’ve. But I would rather not.
One of these days a YouTube hoax is going to sprout wings and hurt somebody.
Suicidal foolishness is on the march
I don’t feel like doing much nooze today. Some of this stuff is so preposterous, it should just go without saying. Like “Queers for Palestine.”
Palestinian leaders are not on board with this (https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/06/reality-check-queers-palestine-delivered-directly-palestinian-leaders/). Over the years, they’ve made it quite plain that all they want to do with these people is to get rid of them: [Homosexuals] “should be thrown head-first from the rooftop of the tallest building.”
And sometimes that’s exactly what they do. Never mind that “Queers for Palestine” recently blocked the entrance to Disney World, in Orlando, to show their (ahem!) solidarity with the Palestinian cause. It doesn’t impress Hamas.
Why would anyone support gangs of terrorists who would kill them if they got the chance? Who, in fact, have killed them when they could?
Leftism is a mental illness. Self-preservation has no place in it.
“Hey! Let’s round up a bunch of jailbirds and have them canvass for our party! Man, when these guys suggest you vote for Democrats–boy howdy, you vote for Democrats!”
Remember that? It was a scheme to tilt Pennsylvania’s elections to Democrats. Especially Philadelphia.
For some reason, Democrats like crime and criminals. They like it a lot. For an election to be decided by the votes of convicted felons would be, to them, icing on the cake.
I find it increasingly difficult to imagine the kind of world they’ve got in mind for us.
Moas are not the only things now extinct in New Zealand. Anybody seen common sense or basic sanity lately?
She may not be the prime minister of New Zealand anymore, but Jacinda Ardean has landed a cushy berth at Harvard, with opportunities to address the United Nations.
Which she did a few days ago, calling on the UN to limit or choke off free speech (https://jonathanturley.org/2023/09/20/harvards-jacinda-ardean-calls-on-the-united-nations-to-crack-down-on-free-speech-as-a-weapon-of-war/). “We cannot allow free speech to get in the way of fighting Climate Change,” she said.
I remember a time when no one but a kook would dare say he was against free speech. Even the most slobbering Democrat at least gave lip service to our most basic and least dispensable liberty.
But now they just don’t bother. Tyranny is cool. Look how great it works for China–that government has really got the power, baby!
And the beauty of it is, no government, once it’s made up its mind to curtail the people’s liberties, will ever run out of excuses to do it! If it’s not Climbit Chainge, it’s “Online Safety.”
Is New Zealand still part of what they used to call “the free world”?
Why is everybody laughing?
