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?

Sen. Katie Britt Blames Biden for a Rape 20 Years Ago in Mexico

During what many are calling an absolutely insane rebuttal to President Biden’s “State of the Union” address, Sen. Katie Boyd Britt (R-Ala.), walked onto a studio sound stage (set up like an upper-middle-class kitchen) and began to link a harrowing account of a young woman’s sex trafficking and rape by a Mexican drug cartel, to Joe Biden’s immigration policies of the 2020s.  She did this even though the abuse happened nearly 20 years ago and in Mexico - and at a time when Republican George W. Bush was president, not Joe Biden.  The girl about whom Sen. Britt spoke - was thrown out of her house by her mother at age 12 and eventually “fell prey to a professional pimp.”  There is no evidence that she was ever held by a drug cartel, as Katie claimed.  In addition, the young victim testified that most of her clients for prostitution were foreigners visiting Mexico to have sex with underage girls.   Okay, so now let me get this straight.  A young Mexican fema...

White House Calls Trump Property the Perfect G7 Meeting Location

White House Calls Trump Property the Perfect G7 Meeting Location:   The White House and President Trump are raising eyebrows once again after they selected Donald Trump’s National Doral Resort Hotel as the “perfect location” for the next G7 summit while also suggesting President Trump plans to re-invite Russian President Vladimir Putin to the meeting.  Well gee-whiz, what a lucky break for the Trump Resorts.  I mean, who knew there was no other place in the entire United States that would be appropriate to hold a G7 summit other than a Trump property?  Imagine that! Of course, at the rate Trump has been betraying all our friends and allies, by the time this conference actually rolls around - my guess is it’s likely only gonna be a G2 summit - with just Trump and Putin in attendance! https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com

Gallup Finds Only 45% Of Republicans Believe In Science

As deadly new variants of the coronavirus are spreading rapidly around the globe, a disturbing new Gallup poll found American confidence in science has split heavily along party lines, with 79 percent of Democrats expressing confidence in science, while only 45 percent of Republicans say they believe in science.   Really?  Oh, for the love of Trump!  And, from the looks of things, it also appears a lot of these same Trump Republicans don’t have much “confidence” in dental hygiene either.  Don’t laugh, good folks like these have kept denture makes and dental implant centers in business for years.  Why, what’s more American than a water glass with dentures soaking in it, resting on a night stand next to your bed? Besides, with the good folks like Tucker Carlson, Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) - keeping “patriots” informed about all the evils and dangers of COVID vaccines, who needs science?  After a...
