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?

Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims Pete Buttigieg Emasculating Driving With Electric Cars

During a segment on Neil Cavuto’s Fox News program, US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was told by the host that Marjorie Taylor Greene is claiming "Mr. Buttigieg is trying to emasculate the way we drive" by supporting electric vehicles.  In response, Buttigieg told Cavuto that “my sense of manhood is not connected to whether my vehicle is fueled by gasoline, or whether it's fueled by electricity.”  When asked by Cavuto if he was offended by what Greene said, Buttigieg remarked "To be honest, there are other members of Congress that I pay more attention to when I'm thinking about opinions that really matter.” Oh, come on now!  Let’s get real.  It would take a helluva lot more than an electric car to “emasculate” Marjorie Taylor Greene.  Besides, I’m pretty sure “real men” actually ride horses, anyway.  Of course, I’m certainly no psychiatrist, but it sounds like Greene’s anger could be a combination of both “road rage” and “roid rage,” leaving her...

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 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 ...
