Supreme Court Justice… Judge Judy?

So collidge makes you smarter, does it?

Some 10% of college graduates believe Judge Judy, the TV star, is a justice of the United States Supreme Court ( http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/19/politics/judge-judy-supreme-court-poll/index.html ). This is according to a poll taken by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. It wasn’t that O’Keefe guy trying again to make college personnel look silly.

Just for the record, Judge Judy is not now and never has been on the Supreme Court–although, come to think of it, she’d be a big improvement over most of the justices we have now.

Can you imagine the nooze media and liberal howl that would go up, if President Donald Trump appointed Judge Judy to the Supreme Court?

Gee, I’d love to see that!

New York Values?

New Yorkers are always startled and amazed to discover that the rest of the country doesn’t seem to like them very much.

They’re in an uproar because Ted Cruz said Donald Trump had “New York values,” alien to the people of the other 49 states. Well, I dunno–how much worse can they be than California values?

Let us stipulate that it was a stupid thing to say–but what did Senator Cruz mean by it? He’s not a stupid man, so he must have meant something. He also doesn’t have all that much experience in politics–but what did he mean? What are New York values?

I live in New Jersey, so I have to be kind of careful about casting stones.

Meaning no disrespect to the people of New York City–I presume Cruz was focused on the city, not the state–would it be unfair to say that New York values liberal politics, a parade for every identity voting group, obtrusive artsy-fartsyness, and an unshakeable conviction that their city is the real capitol of America and everybody else is merely peasants? It is, after all, the city that gives us Al Sharpton, Michael Bloomberg, Warren Wilhelm Jr. dba Mayor Bill DeBlasio (a Sandinista wannabe–how ridiculous is that?), and, saints preserve us, The New York Times. That’s a lot to have to answer for.

But what are Massachusetts values? Don’t ask! Seattle values? How about Chicago values?

The values that matter come from God’s word, and may be found in any city. Even in San Francisco. You can find Biblical “values”–y’know, I really don’t much care for that word–in New York, but you can’t find New York values in the Bible.

 

No Time Off for Tone-Deaf Libs

Hey, wake up! Donald Trump’s a racist! Racist! Racist!

While we’re enjoying Christmas music, libs are still out there being… well, libs. I dunno, maybe they take Darwin’s birthday off.

A publicist has invited me, in my capacity as contributing editor with the Chalcedon Foundation, an international Christian ministry, to review “a children’s book for grownups” in which Donald Trump is “lampooned” by the author, who is–what else?–a collidge prefesser.

Wow! She exposes Trump as a racist! Took me completely by surprise–I mean, who would ever expect a lib to call somebody a racist? Betcha Trump is a Climbit Change denier, too.

Once again we are treated to an exhibition of how utterly lacking libs are in self-awareness, having no clue as to how discordantly their message clangs in normal people’s ears. And anyone who’s not aboard their bandwagon is a racist.

But enough of them. Let’s get back to Christmas.

Oh, Boy! How to Politicize Your Thanksgiving!

You want to see pathetic? This is pathetic.

Sure, gratitude has no part in the liberal Democrat psyche, so we can’t expect a Thanksgiving holiday to have much meaning for them. But this is going pretty far, even for them.

The Democrat National Committee has set up a website ( http://www.yourrepublicanuncle.com/ ) to provide party members and other comrades with pithy put-downs to confound “Your Republican Uncle” or any other family member too wicked or obtuse to appreciate the wisdom of leftism. To quote the introduction:

“The holiday season is filled with food, traveling, and lively discussions with Republican relatives about politics sometimes laced with statements that are just not true–” apparently only Republicans do this, never Democrats. “Here are the most common myths spouted by your family members who spend too much time listening to Rush Limbaugh and the perfect response to each of them.

I’ll bet these people could just kiss themselves all over.

All right, let’s look at the perfect response to the vile conservative canard that Man-Made Climate Change is nothing but a scare tactic. Are you ready for this? You sure? Deep breath…

Presto! We are informed, “97% of scientists” believe in Global Warming! Wow, I feel utterly confounded.

Oh! Was that 97% of all scientists, or 97% of the scientists you chose to ask, or 97% of the scientists whose answers you chose to accept, or what?

How about the perfect response to Donald Trump?

Guess what–Donald Trump’s a racist! Gee, I never saw that coming, did you?

And, lest I spoil your Thanksgiving dinner, I will conclude this post right here and go outside into this gorgeous fall day and smoke a cigar.

See you tomorrow afternoon, folks–if I can manage it. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Some Things Trump Can’t Be Blamed For

Donald Trump–whatever else you say about him, he’s not them.

Living as I do in the New York media market, Donald Trump has been annoying me for decades.

If the 2016 presidential election were held tomorrow, I’d vote for him.

Here are some of the things that can be said for Donald Trump.

He has not sought to erase our country’s borders.

He has not participated in the radical redefinition of marriage.

He did not promise to stop Obama, win the ensuing election hands-down, and then turn around and cave in to Obama every chance he got.

He has not cut any sweetheart deals with Iran or any other enemy of America.

He has not handed over public money to Planned Parenthood.

He has not driven the United States $18 trillion into the hole.

He has not sought a federal takeover of America’s schools, and wasted public money on the project.

In short, he has not been an accomplice of our current gang of leaders on any of their wicked, frivolous, wasteful, misbegotten projects. And I don’t think there’s any way they can coerce or con him into joining them. He can tell the Chamber of Commerce, the big donors, La Raza, and Organized Sodomy to take long walks off short piers.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s Trump by default.
