Traffic Jam on Mt Everest Summit Blamed for Four More Fatalities

Traffic Jam on Mt Everest Summit Blamed for Four More Fatalities:  A massive traffic jam of climbers at the summit of Mt Everest - also referred to as the “death zone,” is being blamed for two of the four new deaths reported this week on the mountain, heightening concerns that the drive for profits is trumping safety on the world’s highest peak.
Wait a minute?  You’re telling me there’s a frigg’in traffic jam at the top of Mount Everest?  Get serious!  And these crazy fools are paying $11,000, just for the privilege to climb all the way up to the top of the world in the freezing cold, only to have to wait 200-deep in line for up to 12 hours - just to get their picture taken from on top of the mountain? 

And, if that isn’t bad enough - then, they have to turn around and climb all the way back down again.  And its still freezing cold!  I mean, it isn’t like you can just hail a cab from up there.  And, let’s be brutally honest here folks, it’s not exactly like no one else has ever climbed this mountain before.  After all, you’re waiting in a line that’s 200 deep, for heaven’s sake!

Now, say what you want about the thrill of adventure - blah, blah, blah.  Thanks, but no thanks!  Why, I’d rather sit in bumper to bumper traffic on the 405 freeway in LA any damn day.  At least there, you can turn on the air conditioning and listen to all the traffic reports on the radio telling you how screwed you are - in comfort.  Now that’s what I call adventure!

Trump Takes to Truth Social to Spread ‘Roomer’ About Ron DeSantis

Former president Donald Trump just shared some juicy gossip about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his Truth Social platform.   Trump posted, “Roomer (sic) are (sic) strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate.   Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?” Gee, Donald Trump spreading “roomers?”  Say it ain’t so!   Now, me thinks perhaps that prestigious Wharton School of Business Trump attended might want to consider adding some basic 3rd-grade spelling classes to its curriculum.   Apparently, Trump is stalled at that level of language development where he is still spelling words phonetically.   Why his poor spelling makes him look like a real “looser.”   Frankly, I’m not sure its a wise choice for Republicans to choose ...

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal:   Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has stirred some controversy with medical professionals by claiming that the risk of death from coronavirus is very “minimal,” but “sin is 100% lethal. Oh, really Mike?  Then how about showing me a death certificate which lists “sin” as the primary cause of death.  Of course, the fact is, sin couldn’t be 100% lethal, or a guy like me wouldn’t even be alive to write this.   On the other hand, maybe you’re on to something Mike - and sin really is lethal, and I secretly used a “ghostwriter” to write this joke. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com

Trump Ordered by Jury to Pay E. Jean Carroll $83 Million

In his second trial in less than a year on the matter, a civil jury in Manhattan took only three hours to decide that disgraced former President Trump must pay $83.3 million in punitive and compensatory damages to rape victim and writer E. Jean Carroll in a drama that began in the dressing room of a New York City department store back in 1995. Gee whiz, $83 million?  Seems it turns out that even “when you're a star, they don't always let you do it.”  Anyway, so the Orange God used his big fat mouth to talk his way out of a $5 million judgment - and right into an $83 million judgment.  Now, that really takes some skill!  Talk about “The Art of the Deal!”  I’m totally impressed.  Why, its almost as if Mr. Trump and his militant, useless attorney don’t fully comprehend the basic point of “punitive damages.”   I mean, at this point, Trump defames Ms. Carroll so frequently, she’s almost gonna need to put up an electronic signboard to alert the court abo...
