At Sullie's Place

We have lost Texas!  Off the top of my head, I would guess that I have written at least 8 articles with references to Texas.  I had totally agreed that when I resided there for a bit of time back in 1978, that they should become their own country before the end of the decade.  They could have acted as a buffer zone to Mexico, you know, sort of going through the back porch before going to the garage.  Texas Senator Ted Cruz had already fallen over the edge and the rest of the state has now followed suit.  Before I get to the meat & potatoes, let me fill you in with a little background.  Some time back, I was visiting with my oldest daughter out in Pittsburgh and my youngest daughter from Colorado was also there for a visit.  One morning, my youngest was chatting on the phone with my son-in-law.  After she got off, I inquired as to how he’s getting along without her.  She replied something to the effect that he’s fine and he and some buddie...

Once again, the government is missing the point.  On a personal level, I don’t care if the Corona virus originated under a natural environment or in a lab.  Whether it came from a wombat, warthog, dodo bird, vampire, werewolf, or Count Dracula himself vs human error in a lab, it’s real and has killed millions of people and isn’t going away.  All these arguments and conspiracy theories are not going to bring these folks back.  What we have, right now, is the ability to defeat this scourge, but we can’t on account of all the naysayers.  It is definitely a sign of the times that whether to take the shot or not is a matter of color: Red or Blue Partisanship.  There are a ton of Republican jokes out there, but the joke of the day: Senator Rand Paul ® Kentucky wins by an eyelash over Majorie Taylor Greene’s mouth.  She’s tempting me with her latest volumes of vulgar verbiage, however, the Senator is a regular moron and MTG is way beyond all that, besides the...

Joe Chyle is a retired gent who lives in Pisek, North Dakota and we do not know each other, that is to say, he has neither seen me nor my photo.  I don’t do Facebook, but he does and I was replying to something my son sent out when I ran across Joe’s page with a profile picture of Senate Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell.  Next to it was a blurb that said, “Well, yes, I was angry when the Capitol was attacked.  Yes, I did speak out against the attack that night.  And yes, I was open to a bi-partisan commission to get to the facts about the attack to ensure that it doesn’t happen again.  But then Donald Trump called and reminded me that he is still the boss and I will do as he says.  So no, no commission.”  I did no research as to if McMaggot actually said that or if Joe Chyle put words in his mouth, but no matter, it pretty much wraps up today’s pathetic blind subservient Trumpublican psychosis.  It reminds me of a moment in time back in 1960 when ...

I imagine that I will have more articles in the future about Insurrection Day 2021 than should probably be allowed by law.  I have already written a few and I have another one now.  There is a good reason for that since today the House of Representatives voted in favor to create a bipartisan commission to study the January 6th insurrection by a vote of 252 - 175.  There are 211 members in the House that are Republicans and 35 voted for it.  That leaves 176 naysayers who voted wrong.  I’m sure some of them skipped class today, however miniscule that number was, but my point here is that over 80% of the Republicans voted no. Why is this of no surprise?  We had an Insurrection and lives were at stake of the likes not seen since the War of 1812.  Will somebody out there tell me as to why I should cut some slack to any of these Pukes?  No one?  Good, cause even if there were any, I’m not going to.  To repeat what I just said, I am not surpris...

What a relief!  It’s been over 6 months since election day and of the 100+ political pages I have produced, not a single one was written that castigated the administration-elect/ administration.  They, in essence, are a complete reversal of the previous administration which had been comprised of a Top Gun and his Hot Shots.  Everyone from Trump on down through his family, advisors and staff were akin to game show hosts.  They took their cue from their leader and became Reality TV Clowns in their own rite, reminiscent of the “Keystone Cops” of the silent film era, except, not so silent.  I find that I don’t have to take deep breaths anymore and sigh over news reports about the present administration like I had to with the previous one on a daily basis.  Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is! Why is that?  There are those right extremist wannabe news outlets that chastise the present White House occupants for being so droll and below the radar, ...

I am the first to admit that I have done some really strange things in my life.  Most of them turned out to be a little unfortunate or easily forgettable and some I overshot on and they turned out to be rather remarkable.  The result I was looking for mostly, was simply to have a copacetic effect.  Positivity is usually more acceptable than negativity.  I try to look at the better side of my perception of folks or organizations that they are doing the right thing.  Of course, miscreants and ne’er-do-wells are pretty much self-explanatory and exceptions to the rule.  Giving a benefit of a doubt will delay any negative judgements you would, otherwise, jump to conclusions over.  For example, my not leaving this country after the 2016 election has somehow changed my perception of my ability to recognize when you should hold them vs when you should fold them.  The 2020 election hasn’t changed anything because we are still trying to tolerate the effects...

Wow, what a week!  Too bad David Frost isn’t still doing that 60’s Friday Evening program, “That Was The Week That Was!”  If they did, they would have 2 problems, they wouldn’t know where to begin and they wouldn’t know where to end.  Plus, what would be the story of the week?  I do have that one figured out, but as for the rest, we are drowning in a sundry of false statements and misdirection tactics and I’m not sure how long I am able to tread water.  The Republican Party has hit new highs, or lows, in verbiage this past week in whatever garbage they were slinging at us that fact checkers have to be very ecstatic to be wallowing in job security.  There are 2 Republicans though that are off the hook, Representatives Liz Cheney ® Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger ® Illinois.  These 2 are the only voice of reason in their Party and it is nothing short of a miracle that they have survived at all.   So, you ready?  Let’s pick apart these “Pubs” that ar...

Being a divided country can have its benefits.  I think we should continue in this fashion and put it into overdrive.  Just think how things would be if there were personable identifiers that would stick out on each individual citizen.  What kinds of identifiers are we looking at here?  Would they be like lanyards that would hang around our necks that would instantly identify us as to who we are and how we operate?  Naw, those would be too small and unreadable at a distance.  Perhaps it should be the way we look or what we wear how we walk or talk?  On account of the space I allot myself for each article in the 1 page, 600 word length, I will only do personable identifiers in 2 of today’s most overwhelming topics: The Vax & Politics.  If you think about it, these 2 items are sort of a barometer.  For instance, I don’t go anywhere without my mask.  It’s my new visa card, “Don’t Leave Home Without It.”  I’m a real stickler about i...

There’s a guy in Congress who is a Representative from Georgia by the name of Andrew Clyde. This schizoid freak who, like his counterpart in the Senate, our favorite cheesehead Ron Jon, doesn’t seem to get the concept of the January 6th insurrection.  He calls it something like tourist interaction and to call it otherwise is a “bold faced lie.”  Now I have watched all sorts of film that was shot that day and I have been to the Capitol with other tourists and I just can’t recall any of us climbing the walls, running through tear gas and using battering rams to get inside.  I admit I have a bit of dementia, but I’m sorry, there was nothing like that when we were there.  Maybe they only allowed DFL’ers into Washington D.C. that particular day.  I could have let this story go by the wayside since this is just another Republican from Georgia, like Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has caved over conspiracy theories and denies that there was no criminal intent and they were...

John Lambert, the 25 year old co-founder of “Students For Trump, is going to jail.  A judge has called him a “cold blooded fraudster for posing as a lawyer and scamming clients.”  He was sentenced to 13 months in prison for running a scheme for impersonating a high profile lawyer and swindled $46,000 from clients.  Lambert pleaded guilty to the charges.  Okay, let’s dissect this and see why he’s going to prison, which he should, but why isn’t his hero?  I mean, this guy is a Trump wannabe and probably 10 times smarter, which isn’t too terribly difficult.  He pretended to be Eric Pope, a Manhattan based lawyer, with a law degree from New York State University, a finance degree from the University of Pennsylvania and 15 years of experience.  He ran the scheme for 2 years while an undergraduate student in North Carolina.  He expressed regret at his sentencing for his poor choices.  Poor choices?  Voting for Trump was more than a poor choice...

The Lone Ranger is riding alone these days, no Tonto or other sidekick to keep the kemosabe company as she keeps maneuvering in the land of Trumpublicans.   Liz Cheney is a Conservative politician mired down in an alien landscape filled with off the charts conspiracy theorists who now rule the Republican Party.  I do not have her grit.  I would certainly know when I am not wanted and I would have abandoned that House long ago, unless……well, no sense in going any further with that statement since the thought of being a Republican is so gut wrenching it would feel like being infirmed with a constant kidney stone attack.  If I could sit down and chat with her, I would look at her situation in the simplest of terms which, in the end, is what it all comes down to and ask just one question: “Well Liz, do you wanna be right or do you wanna be a weenie?” Let’s look at the crux of it and pit her against just one of her colleagues.  It would be so easy to use one of those...

To paraphrase William Prescott, an American officer at the Battle of Bunker Hill during the Revolutionary War, with a slight twist at the end would change his famous phrase to, “Do not fire until you see the whites of their lies!” This is what I try to adhere to when denigrating the Trumpublican Party.  Truth be known, when I line up one of those Trump Stumps, I fire long before I see the whites of their lies.  These buffoons are for the birds.  I tell you, if they were birds, they would be terns of the Laridae family and I would make it my personal mission to “leave no tern unstoned”.  No, they are not birds, they’re more like turds and I’m not birdturdin’ when I tell you one of their biggest turds is going to get raked through the coals here in the next few days.  I’m not talking about Liz Cheney, she’s going to be tomorrow’s subject that I have titled “Not Quite Right Enough”, look for it at a news stand near you.  Nope, I’m talking bigger than Liz, but ...

Political posturing in the past has always been an occupational hazard for politicians especially in presidential campaigns.  My earliest memory of import was the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon contest that ended up as the narrowest margin of victory in the 20th century.  To put this into a bean count perspective, Kennedy won by only 112,827 votes and a margin of 17/100ths percent.  Nixon graciously conceded the following morning.  Boy oh boy, I sure miss those days.  Nixon went on to say something to the effect that we must all put our differences aside now and support the new incoming administration and bring our country forward.  Isn’t that refreshing?  Of course, that Republican Party died and was buried a few times since then.  We now fast forward 60 years to the 2020 campaign and the war of words between two pukes who slime balled each other so vehemently during the campaign with a language, under normal conditions, would never be condoned again for all...

It just hit me!  I’m being repeated now on a daily basis.  Seems that more of my type of verbiage is becoming more and more prevalent.  Not only in the written word, but live TV.  It’s becoming commonplace to see these talk show news hosts arguing with their guests.  Last month was a hoot with these far right no-news networks abruptly ending an interview in mid-sentence.  Lately, I have been seeing a change of tact.  Blue Network hosts are starting to keep it simple by asking questions that only require a yes or no answer, since their Red counterparts dance around and skirt the question at hand.  An acquaintance of mine in the industry had an interview lately with a State Official who would not answer any direct yes or no question by replying with indirect out of context rebuffs.  He calls these blowhards “dodgers” as they always try to dodge the issue.  When this State Official left the interview, my friend looked out onto the parking l...

The Prophetic Pest is back!  Not to be confused with The Prophetic Pest Part 2 from April 14th, but the original Prophetic Pest from March 10th.  Remember Robin Bullock who said that God will clear the way for Trump to come back and serve another 3 terms?  Yep, he’s back and this time he has added more information to us low lives who haven’t been burdened with the trials and tribulations of prophetic posturing.  I can’t imagine the pressure these warped wrecks have to go through on a daily basis.  What happens when their so-called prophecies don’t come to pass?  I think I know how the game works.  They secretly know they are full of it, however, since the law of averages states that you may be on a losing streak, every so often, you nail it!  You don’t ever expect that to happen, but even prophets are apt to win some, even though they lose quite a few. So what’s he got up his sleeve now and is it worth even looking into?  Newsweek must think ...

I am seriously considering getting the hell out of this country.  I don’t know what I would have done if Biden didn’t win.  What I do know is that I would not have wanted to hang around to find out.  There is no stopping the Trumpublican Party.  There are way too many of them and they have turned themselves into mindless cultists out there who have fallen victim to their one true leader who is nothing but a pile of pigshit.  I have pretty much hibernated since covid came our way and really haven’t seen many folks I know, which is probably good.  I will be getting out now soon to see some of them and it’s going to take a lot for me to remain cool and stay away from politics.  And not just politics, but also have they been vaxed?  If not, are they going to and if no, then why?  If it is not what I want to hear, then that’s it.  We part company.  Also, if I so much as hear anyone praise what happened on the 6th of January and they wish...

Hold the presses!  We are interrupting this program for a special announcement.  We need to delay this decision due to extraneous information that has just come our way.  The Awards Ruling Committee has just decided that there is one more eligible nominee that was passed over on account of this award being only open to active politicians and it now has been deemed, according to the bylaws, that former members are qualified to be a part of the nominating process.  The only former member who had applied was none other than the former America’s Mayor who has so dramatically fallen from grace, the mug of mud, the one, the only, the mud-face melting fart-banger himself, Ruuudyyyy Giuuuuliaaaani!!!  Rudy! Rudy! Rudy! Whoa!  This changes everything.  The Deep Six, a term our production engineer came up with as a nickname for the aforementioned nominees has now added another outstanding puke to become the Insignificant 7.  So let’s take a break here for o...
