World's Richest Added $1.8T to Their Combined Wealth in 2020


World's Richest Added $1.8T to Their Combined Wealth in 2020:
  According to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the world’s 500 richest people added approximately $1.8 trillion to their combined wealth in 2020.  This 31 percent increase, which occurred amid the economic crisis spurred by the coronavirus pandemic, is the largest annual gain in the index’s history.

So, what’s the big deal?  I mean, I got nothing to complain about.  Hell, my net worth has just increased by 600 bucks.  Life’s good!  Why, here in LA, that $600 almost covers 1/3 of someone’s average monthly rent.  That’s not a bad chunk of change, once you forget about eating and utilities. 


Besides, if you don’t feel satisfied with that $600 kiss me, then you can always get your big ass up off the couch, put on your face mask, and do what a lot of other people are doing these days - rob a convenience store.  


Man, it really gets to me when I hear folks complain that wealthy people don’t deserve that extra $1.8 trillion.  Oh really?  Well, you wanna know why wealthy folks got all that extra cash this year?  Because they worked 1.8 trillion times harder than the rest of us did.  That’s why!


And now, you hear folks demanding that corporations need to pay their fair share of taxes.  Well, for crying out loud!  Don’t these numbskulls realize, that every time there's a corporate tax increase - it means that somewhere, a CEO is going without a meal?  Kind of makes you wonder, just where the hell is the compassion these days?

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold

GOP Lawmaker Says Trump’s Conduct Crosses Impeachment Threshold:   Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), has become the first Republican congressman to publicly state that, based on the Mueller Report - the President “engaged in impeachable conduct.”  Rep. Amash further added that Attorney General Barr “deliberately misrepresented” the Mueller Report’s findings to congress and to the American public. Oh boy!   One can only imagine the 3 AM tweet storm that’s gonna emanate from Trump’s porcelain throne over this level of betrayal.  I’ll tell you another thing, disloyalty of this magnitude to the Cult of Trump isn’t likely to set well in America’s trailer parks either.   But then again, what else is new?  After all, Republicans have never viewed reality as being in their best interests.  Now, I have no idea how all this is gonna finally go down, but I do know one thing - Justin Amash is definitely not gonna get an invite to Donald Trump's next wedding....

Self-Described Prophet and Pastor Warns Critics They Risk Leprosy

Self-Described Prophet and Pastor Warns Critics They Risk Leprosy:   After numerous prophecies of his failed to materialize, resulting in various accusations of lies and fraud, self-described “prophet” and right-wing pastor Hank Kunneman of “One Voice Ministries” warned fellow Christians that they "better be very careful" about criticizing "prophets" like him, because "It's a dangerous place, and some of you might get leprosy.” Wow, leprosy?  That’s one helluva threat!  Now, while I wasn’t there, my guess is that it all came down something like this - some critic calls out God’s “prophet” Kunneman for his bogus claims, then further challenges him by declaring “You want a piece of me, then come and get it!”  Then God gave that critic leprosy - and that “piece of him” just fell right off. Now, on a personal note, I’ve also been a vocal critic of Kunneman’s ministry for a long time now, and I can happily report that I haven’t come down with “leprosy.”  Alth...

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone

Nigerian President Denies Dying and Being Replaced by a Clone:  Speaking at a recent conference, Nigeria’s President Muhammadu Buhari denied claims that he had died and been replaced by a Sudanese impostor or a clone, breaking his silence on a rumor that has been circulating on social media for months. Wait a minute, I think I saw that movie - “ Weekend at Muhammadu’s. ”  And, if I remember correctly - wasn’t it was a Sudanese actor who played the lead?  Who do they think they’re kidding anyway?  After all, I wasn’t born yesterday! Now, of course, I’m sitting out here in California - so I have no sure-fire way to confirm or deny all these rumors, but I do know one thing - if you can’t believe Nigerian e-mails and social media posts, what the hell can you believe? https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com
