Seat to Fly Into Space with Jeff Bezos Auctions Off for $28 Million


Seat to Fly Into Space with Jeff Bezos Auctions Off for $28 Million:
  A seat to fly next to Jeff Bezos and his brother in Blue Origin’s very first human spaceflight, has been auctioned off to an unidentified bidder for $28 million.  Blue Origin will fly its “New Shepard” space capsule to an altitude of nearly 65 miles, where passengers can then unbuckle from their seats and experience about four minutes of weightlessness during their eleven-minute suborbital flight.

Wow, $28 million for an eleven-minute suborbital flight?  Gee, I wonder if that’s for economy or business class seats?  Why, Jeff Bezos has really put together one helluva “billionaire carnival ride” if you ask me.  And, how comforting for average Americans living paycheck to paycheck, to realize that our tax-dodging billionaires will now - not only be looking down on them from the balconies of their fancy penthouses, but also from outer space!  


Truth is, these modern-day robber barons are always on the lookout for new, more creative ways to spend all that extra cash they have on hand - courtesy of all those sweet Republican tax breaks.  Now, is it wrong to wish that whomever bought this ticket, spends the whole flight trying to sell Jeff Bezos a timeshare in the Florida panhandle?


All I can say is, for an eleven-minute flight, they better find a pretty damn short in-flight movie.  Oh, who am I kidding?  They’ll probably run Amazon commercials.  Anyway, all of that aside, you have to admit this is certainly the perfect gift for that person in your life who seems to have everything - and yet somehow, it’s still not enough.  Behold, the next “status symbol” for the world's billionaire class.  


Sadly, I suppose this also means most Amazon customers can abandon their hopes that a ride on Blue Origin will soon become one of the free perks that come with their Amazon Prime memberships.  On a positive note, a Blue Origin spokesperson says even folks forced to live on the streets, should be able to watch parts of Blue Origin’s flight - assuming the weather stays clear above their homeless encampments.

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...
