President Trump Sends Out Well-Wishes to Ghislaine Maxwell:   President Trump offered well-wishes and sympathy for longtime Jeffrey Epstein companion Ghislaine Maxwell, whom he said he had met “numerous times over the years” and who is awaiting trial on charges she recruited underage girls for the financier Epstein and his clients to sexually abuse. Gee, is it just me who’s thinking only Donald Trump could politically get away with offering “well-wishes” to a child sex trafficker?  And, to think some folks believe Donald Trump has no capacity for compassion.  Why, it’s difficult to even imagine what a “big heart” someone would have to have in order to offer “well-wishes” to a known sex predator, who has just been arrested! Now, I understand there’s always gonna be those skeptics, who believe the President is actually trying to signal a potential pardon for Ms. Maxwell - assuming she’s willing to keep her mouth shut about everything she knows.  You know,...

Trump Comeback Rally Features Thousands of Empty Seats:   Ignoring health warnings, a defiant President Donald Trump launched his comeback rally in Tulsa by claiming the “silent majority is stronger than ever,” but a quick glance around the hall indicated that what was intended to be a show of political force - ended more like a show of thousands of empty seats instead. No problem!  Hell, Fox News can easily solve that issue with a simple headline like “ millions turned away from Trump rally to accommodate liberal social distancing guidelines.”  Besides, so what if there might have been a few empty seats.  Why, that’s nothing a little photoshop can’t handle.   Oddly, during his speech, Trump praised the strength of the "silent majority.”  Now, when he uses the term “silent majority,” I wonder if he’s referring to the 120,000 people who’ve already died from the coronavirus?   Anyway, judging from all the empty seats, I’d consider changing t...

Televangelist Jeffress Says Democrats Plan to Bring Out the Guillotines:   During an interview with Lou Dobbs on the FOX Business Channel, Trump supporter and Megachurch Pastor Robert Jeffress, was invited on the show to discuss the “Defund the Police” movement and, after condemning that, told Dobbs that if Republicans lose the presidency in November, Democrats will bring out the guillotines and cut off the heads of all their critics. Well, on a positive note -  it isn’t like he’s actually using that head for anything anyway.  Besides, my guess is - if someone like Jeffress ever were to be beheaded, it’d probably boost his IQ by at least 20 points or so.  Of course, evangelicals have been warning their cults about progressives taking away their guns, confiscating and burning their Bibles, and Christians being tortured and killed if Republicans aren’t elected - for many years now.   Now, if memory serves me correct, we’ve recently had eight years ...

New Study Finds Your Height as a Teen Linked with Dementia Risk:   A new study analyzed data on 666,333 Danish men born between 1939 and 1959, and found that men who were taller then average during their teen years, were 10% less likely of developing dementia later in life.   Damn, I’ve always been average height!  Just my luck!  And I was really hoping to avoid getting dementia - but now, it looks like “I came up short.”  I knew I should have tried a little harder to be taller in high school.   Now, I’m no scientist, but my guess is - the taller boys got less dementia, because taller boys are less likely to get beaten over the head than their peers.   Anyway, wonder how they’re gonna explain this new data to the kids in school?  “OK kids, let's have fun with statistics.  Who wants to go first?  How ‘bout you Shorty?" https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com
