A lot of people have forgotten that Emmanuel “I feel pretty” Macron, the president of France, actually has a throne.
Somehow I don’t think this is quite Vive la Republique.
Can you imagine the howl that would go up if Donald Trump ever plunked his butt down on a throne? Maybe he should do it, just to drive leftids crazy. Er, crazier.
It just goes to show you you can put a dummy on a throne and it’s still a dummy.
They do like to rub our faces in it, don’t they?
Granted, French President “I feel pretty” Macron spent mere confetti, compared to what our President *Batteries Not Included spent on entertaining and decorating himself and his wife. Still–when was the last time you spent 30 grand on hair and makeup?
Well, God told Samuel to let the people have the king they wanted, and they’d be sorry.
Oh, BTW, Macron does have one thing Ol’ *Batteries Not Included didn’t have.
A throne. This popinjay-in-chief has got a throne.
I thought the French had more self-respect than that.
This Imprimis piece by Heather Mac Donald, “Four Months of Unprecedented Government Malfeasance,” is a bit long; but it’s also piping hot, and well worth yokur while to read.
When public policy is brewed from a mixture of blind ideology, political opportunism, tunnel-visioned “expertise” that can’t see the forest for the trees, and sheer ignorance, we wind up just where we are now–stupid masks and all.
It’s not that there’s no such thing as COVID-19. The problem is our response to it, as Mandated (don’t you love that word?) by people who do not have our best interests at heart.
We’re going to have a long, hard time cleaning up the mess they’ve made of our country.
Unless you think all-powerful government and lots and lots of riots is a healthy combination.
Let’s see… Huge chunks of the economy have been shut down for most of this year so far, innumerable small businesses have gone extinct, millions of jobs lost, people really hurting… So now it’s time to–raise their taxes???
Here in New Jersey our philosopher-kings are calling it “revenue enhancement,” which sounds so much nicer than “taxing their asses off when they can least afford it.” Don’t be too surprised if your state starts talking “revenue enhancement.”
Are they crazy? Now of all times, the people can’t afford it. Gee, if they totally finish us off, then there’ll be no revenue!
Governed by persons who belong in straitjackets: it’s quite a problem.
Man! When it comes to rubbing salt into the wounds of their victims, nobody does it like Democrats. You’re just gonna love this!
Three of the Minneapolis City Council members, after joining in on a unanimous vote to defund the city’s police, immediately made arrangements to have themselves protected by a private security firm at a cost of $4,500 per day. And as if that weren’t hypocritical enough–
They’re paying for it with taxpayers’ money!
If hypocrisy were a mole-hill, Minneapolis would be Mount Everest. Every time you think they can’t possibly be more blatant than this, they prove you wrong.
Think they’ll pony up $4,500 a day for… well, everybody? Like, it might be nice to go to bed without fearing that your little dollar store might get burned down by Peaceful Protesters. Or your car rolled over and torched.
Uh-uh. This is just for those city council members. ‘Cause of “white nationalists.” Or is it marauding centaurs?
If you’re a normal, decent person living in that city… get out now.
Forbidden! Quick, somebody call the cops!
It’s instructive to visit the archives of this blog, just stroll around and see what was happening a few years ago. For instance:
One of the things we learn from these casual examinations is that America was getting pretty wifty well before any COVID virus came along. What? An unsupervised child shooting hoops? You really have to wonder–was any official involved in this quite sane? I mean, this is really crazy schiff.
I am so glad my childhood was spent in the 50s and 60s rather than today.
There’s an awful lot of stupid stuff we have to stop doing as a nation. Before it does us in.
Maybe he could rob a 7-11 on his way to the White House
Government never gets big or powerful or intrusive enough for Democrats.
Presidential candidate Joe Biden and Squeaker of the House Nancy Pelosi have both called for a “federal mandate” compelling all Americans to wear face masks in public (https://www.cnbc.com/2020/06/28/nancy-pelosi-calls-for-cdc-to-mandate-americans-wear-masks-amid-surge-in-coronavirus-cases.html).
The “mandate” would be imposed by the Center for Disease Control.
So much for government by our elected representatives, with public hearings, debate, voting, and all that old stuff. Last I looked, no one at the CDC had been voted into office by anyone.
Biden said that he, if he were president, would “require” all Americans to wear the masks. Did you know a president could do that? I certainly didn’t.
We are told by the fake nooze scribes at CNBC that face masks sure as shootin’ hamstring the old COVID-19 and anyway you ought to wear them to show that you… “care.” About something other than your personal liberties. CNBC is in the bag for this.
But of course you don’t need to wear a mask or practice “social distancing” if you’re doing something really “essential,” like rioting to “protest” imaginary systemic racism. The Death Virus will know your heart is in the right place and won’t bother you.
It’s what the lib crowd calls “Science,” these days.
As vice president, Joe Biden wanted to lean on defenseless African countries to force them to adopt “gay rights.” Now he’s running for president, and millions of people are going to vote for him. That is a mystery.
This is a new kind of imperialism: put the sodomites in the driver’s seat, or we’ll starve out your country.
But as president, Biden and his playmates may be too busy annihilating what’s left of America to bother with picking on Africa.
To paraphrase Biden himself: If you’re supporting Biden, you ain’t a good person.
Would you buy a used country from this man?
I’ve been scanning nooze today, and am just about ready to plotz. I mean, sheesh, it’s all so bad!
For comic relief I turn to the Democrats’ presidential candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden.
Yesterday Biden said “120 million Americans” (in a population of some 300 million) have died of the COVID-19 Chinese Communist virus (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5vrPaE5Y1o).
Last year he said his proposed child tax credit would “put 720 million women back to work” (in a population of some 300 million).
This is their presidential candidate, the guy they mean to put in the White House. What’s he got up there between his ears–an extra pancreas?
Democrats are placing all their bets on their class-warfare “divide and rule” strategy, which has served them so well for so long.
Maybe we should try “deride and rule.” There’s a lot of scope for derision there.
(Thanks to Andrea for the news tip.)
Assorted libs have already admitted the face mask is just “a symbol”–a symbol of subservience, I say–but the evidence says it’s also a hazard to your health. You remember “evidence.” That’s what they used to use before they had computer models.
This is Leigh Dundas, an attorney with experience in such matters, presenting the evidence that says wearing the stupid mask impedes healthy breathing. In fact, it only takes a matter of minutes for you to slide into a state of hypoxia (not enough oxygen), and you may go on from there into severe hypoxia… from which you could die. As some people already have.
Ms. Dundas recommends some costly lawsuits–costly to the defendant, that is–to remedy the problem. They make you wear the mask, they gotta pay if you keel over from hypoxia.
This is very easy to test! Just buy an oximeter, slip it onto your finger while you’ve got the mask on, and watch your oxygen go down, down, down.
You can order one online. Go ahead: see what happens when you breathe through the mask.
Isn’t it about time we stopped obeying fools?
