Delusions of Grandeur

The new Third Reich has unveiled itself in Washington, D.C. with an orange-tinged Hitler at the helm of his regime and boy, does he have all his underlings cowering.  They now claim that they are working on the 2nd term of their dictatorship and refuse to acknowledge that the majority of voters in the United States of America voted him out.  He best vacate the White House that belongs to, “We the People.”  I have no idea what this ignoramus is trying to pull and if he chooses to continue forthwith, I can envision Seal Team Six making an appearance in his immediate future and things are really going to turn ugly.  By the time they are done with him, he won’t know his a** from a hole in the ground.  Okay, so that’s scenario #1 of how I see this played out, now onto scenario #2.  Wait a minute!  No, no, no, no, no, let’s just go with the one scenario.  The other ones are solid, but a tad far out as they deal with witness protection, alien abduction, Kremlin tour guide, auditioning for the new Alfred E. Neuman mascot.  Besides, scenario #1 is the most palatable.

It behooves me as to how an individual can turn himself into a Looney Tunes comic book character and do it so effortlessly.  It figures that the Trumpster is the 13th president in my lifetime.  #13 - a bad luck number; a number that frightens folks; a number that is omitted in some hotel elevators; a superstitious number, especially if it falls on a Friday; an entity with a bad rap.  What needs to be done now is to give up the ghost on #13 and turn our attention to #14, but unfortunately, #13 won’t go away.  He is embroiled with delusions of grandeur.  He firmly believes that he won and that Biden did not beat him.  He’s half-right: he did lose, but Biden didn’t beat him, Donald Trump did!  To add insult to injury, he lost 5 states (Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Georgia) that flipped from 2016.  The electoral vote also flipped from 2016 with 306 for Trump and 232 for Clinton to 2020’s 306 for Biden and 232 for Trump.  He is also less popular than 4 years ago as he lost that count to Hillary by 2,868,519 votes to 2020’s loss to Biden by 5,919,621 votes and counting..  Whoa!  That’s more than twice as much.  Does that mean he’s more than twice as unpopular?   Also, in 2016 he garnered 45.9% to Hillary’s 48.0% of the popular vote, a difference of 2.1% to 2020’s 47.2% to Biden’s 51.0%, a difference of 2.8%.  He lost in every statistical category imaginable even in the mask and smiles classification:  Kamala & Joe smile and wear masks, Mike & Donny don’t.  After all this, he still says he won.  Like I said, delusions of grandeur.  Stay tuned…..!

The McGrinch That Stole Your Stimulus

I disagreed with my wife just now, something that I never do, since the repercussions are quite disturbing.  Here’s what went down.  She stated that Mitch McConnell can’t stoop any lower into the depravity he wallows in.  I stood tall, took a deep breath, looked her right in the eye and spewed out “Yes he can!”  It was a moment frozen in time and then she smiled.   No systematic repercussions followed.  Whew!  Now, as a politician, he has a certain inalienable right to say one thing and mean another, or to talk out of two sides of his mouth, but Mitcheroo, has the extraneous ability to talk out of two faces.  Unfortunately, those two faces resemble both Scrooge and The Grinch.  Isn’t it easy for someone with a net worth of $22,200,000 to stand at a podium in the hallowed halls of Congress and object to raising the stimulus check amount from $600.00 to $2,000.00?  Then there’s Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylvania, who said there are too many citize...

Uncommon Failure

Okay, I’ll let you all be the judge and jury of the following statement that I came across that was buried in the dark corners of the internet where I usually find my strange and highly unusual articles of confoundation.  This is a Los Angeles Times letter to the editor ( https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-04-12/huntington-beach-ku-klux-klan ) about the “burb” of Huntington Beach.  Headline: “Common ground with the Ku Klux Klan?  Huntington Beach has a problem.”  The letter starts off with, “As Huntington Beach was preparing for a Ku Klux Klan rally and, in response, a Black Lives Matter counter protest, police department spokesman Lt. Brian Smith said,” now here’s the kicker, “We hope that they can utilize events like this as a means to find the common ground and work together for the common goal.”  ???  I thought I would substitute the usual WTF that usually follows an incredulous statement like that with question marks.  I never pass up the ...

The New Cult

Past cult leaders the likes of Sun Myung Moon, David Koresh and Jim Jones, exemplary role models for “Moonies”, “Davidians” and “Peoples Templers” are said to have had a charismatic  gift of gab and were able to ensnarl a whole slew of followers into their realm.  They, of course, have since passed into the great beyond.  Moon was 92 when he died of pneumonia, Korish was 33 when he and his zealots died with guns blazing and Jones 47, died with his lemmings from a bad dose of kool-aid.  There was a rumor going around that his last words were, “Hey, did someone spike this stuff!”   Like Stalin, Hitler and Atilla the Hun, these folks had the innate ability to sway the masses.  To this day, I still can’t figure out how.  I was more enamored with garden slugs than those “coots.”  Nowadays, we have a new malady in our midst, an anomaly if you will, who not only doesn’t have a gift of gab, but cannot even enunciate words correctly, uses alternative facts...
