Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis Won't Rule Out Bombing Mexico


In a tense exchange with CBS Evening News’ Norah O’Donnell, Florida Gov. and Republican presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis said he wouldn't rule out launching missiles into Mexico to combat drug cartels shipping drugs into this country if elected president.  This wasn’t the first time DeSantis has threatened the use of military force against Mexico.  At the presidential debate in August, DeSantis said he would send U.S. special forces over the border.  When asked if troops would be allowed to shoot migrants crossing the border, the governor said: “A woman carrying a baby would not be the focus, but when somebody’s got a ‘backpack on,’ and they’re breaking through the wall, you know that’s hostile intent, and you have every right to take action under those circumstances.”

Wait, the little Floridian dictator said what?  Now, let’s see.  So far, DeSantis has declared war on teachers teaching history, LGBTQ+ folks, drag queens, free speech, women’s healthcare, educational institutions, persons of color, immigrants, voting rights, Bud Lite, and Disney.  Now, he wants to declare war on Mexico?  What I find most interesting about that is that many of the MAGA base Gov. DeSantis is trying so hard to impress with all this chest-beating - probably couldn’t even identify Mexico on a map.

And, just exactly where do these MAGA half-wits think they’re going to bomb, anyway?  I mean, it isn’t like the cartels have big fancy headquarters in glamorous highrise buildings or operate giant fentanyl processing facilities.  Hell, you can manufacture kilos of fentanyl - right in your garage.  These cartel operations are spread out all over the place.  His bombing raids could kill tons of innocent people.  And, just suppose Mexico decided to take loudmouth DeSantis’ threat seriously - and launched a preemptive strike of their own against Florida?  Now, wouldn’t that make things interesting?

After all, the fact is its US gun manufacturers who illicitly provide the majority of weapons used by the Mexican cartels. Funny how MAGAs are so concerned about Mexican cartels sending drugs over the border - yet seem pretty quiet about the US gun manufacturers who actually arm them.  Of course, being the fair-minded gentleman that he is, I’m sure Gov. DeSantis and his MAGA pals would fully understand if Mexico ever decided to launch drone strikes on gun manufacturing plants throughout the US.

Hey, maybe DeSantis could get the House GOP Freedom Caucus to investigate any links between the drug cartels and “Hunter Biden’s laptop?”  Proof?  “We don’t need no stinkin’ proof!  We’re Republicans.”  Fact is, Mexico has recently overtaken China and is now our largest trading partner, but Republicans still have no real interest in addressing immigration issues.  Hell, that sounds way too much like work.  They’re just here to complain about stuff.  Their new battle cry is, “Let’s start a war with Mexico - and pay for it with tax cuts for the wealthy!”

Donald Trump Sporting Slick New Hairdo for UK Visit

Donald Trump Sporting Slick New Hairdo for UK Visit:   US President Donald Trump is showing off a shockingly new slicked-back hairdo, as he prepares to meet with the Queen during his first official state visit to the UK. Good God?  What the hell is that all about?  Is he trying to bring back the mullet?  Either that, or he’s secretly planning on entering a Gary Busey lookalike contest as soon as he gets to London. My guess is, he’s trying to put on his best bohunk sexy look for his meetup with the queen.  One thing’s for sure, he now actually looks exactly like the greasy, mob slime ball he tries to act like.  Maybe he figures that if he ever does get impeached, when they come to get him, no one will be able to recognize him.  But hell, even if he does get impeached, he’ll have nothing to worry as far as getting a job.  I mean, what respectable La Vegas used car lot wouldn’t wanna hire a guy who looks like that? https://ww...

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...

Trump Tells Hannity He Can Declassify Secret Documents With Just His Mind

During a recent interview on Fox News with Sean Hannity, former president Donald Trump tried to defend stashing extremely sensitive classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort by saying he was the president, and the president can declassify, simply by “saying its declassified.”   Trump further added that “there doesn't have to be a process - there can be a process, but there doesn't have to be.”   Trump then told Hannity that if you're the president of the United States, you can actually declassify something “by just ‘ thinking’ about it.”   Oh, my word!  You mean to tell me Trump actually thinks he can declassify the government's most guarded secrets, simply by “thinking about them?”  Now, not to be critical, but it sure sounds like someone has been spending way too much of their spare time binge-watching old episodes of “I Dream of Jeannie.”  I mean, about the only thing he left out was that he also sprinkled the documents with “pixie dust!” This...
