Mississippi River at Historically Low Levels - Strangling Commerce


It’s being reported that historically low water levels in the Mississippi River have caused at least 25 separate closures to traffic since October 11th.  Each stoppage is estimated to cost $300 million per day to the US economy, and could devastate some markets.  For example, 60% of the nation's corn and soybean exports rely on the Mississippi to get to customers.

Members of the MAGA “Republican Freedom Caucus” were quick to respond by claiming “this is clearly Biden, Hillary, and Obama’s fault.”  Ohhhh, my gosh!  Not more of those damn “George Soros-funded, water-sucking satellites again.”  Of course!  It’s so blatantly obvious, especially to all the folks wearing those bright red MAGA caps.  That said, I guess we really don’t even need to ask Kyrie Irving or Kayne West - who they’re blaming all this on.

However, in contrast to all those folks, traditional Republicans like Mitch McConnell, or corporate Democrats like Joe Manchin, will be quick to tell you “the primary reason Mississippi river water levels have dropped so low, is because we haven’t been burning enough coal.”  On the other hand, Mike Pence and evangelical Christians are pretty damn sure this dry spell may have something to do with the liberal Democrat Party’s “War on Christmas."

Not surprisingly, most Republicans will tell you that “If liberal tree huggers hadn't restricted the chemicals that companies are allowed to dump in rivers, we would’ve never had this problem in the first place.”  That’s because pouring tons of toxic chemicals into the water would inherently make river levels rise.  Let’s also not forget that - as any Fox News climatologist can tell you - “deregulation and lower corporate taxes are really the keys to increased rainfall.”

That said, if there is anything Republicans want you to remember during this crisis, it’s to remain suspicious and fearful of your neighbors, especially if they happen to look or believe differently than you.  That way, you’ll continue to contribute to Republican causes and candidates, even if doing so would be against your family’s best interests.  In return, Republicans and evangelical leaders promise to continue scaring the hell out of you, so they can continue to profit off your irrational fears.  And, as everyone knows - these folks keep their promises.

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...
