You've Got to Be Kidding?

During a Newsmax interview, Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle decried Biden’s student loan forgiveness as a “communist” plot, arguing “Paying off loans for people they want to have some bizarre basket weaving degree and they want all of us to subsidize their laziness and their inability to even try to contribute to society.”     Wait, a minute?  The woman who got paid a $60,000 speaking fee for simply giving her fiancé Don Jr. a two-minute introduction at the Jan. 6th “Stop the Steal” rally said what?  I guess that’s why when people think “Kimberly Guilfoyle,” the first thing that comes to mind is “hard worker.”  Not to mention, it also solves the age-old math equation “What costs $60,000, yet lasts only 2 minutes?” Anyway, Guilfoyle is angry folks will use this money to pay off “basket weaving degrees.”  Gee, I really can’t think of any schools offering degrees in “basket weaving,” other than perhaps Trump University, but they were shut...

Prominent Republicans like Ted Cruz and others are acting completely shocked and angry after President Biden referred to Trump’s private cadre of MAGA insurrectionists as “semi-fascist.”   In fact, Sen. Ted Cruz responded to President Biden by tweeting “The communists have always called their enemies fascists,” while Sen. Lindsey Graham threatened violence in the streets if the US Justice Department moves forward and decides to prosecute former President Donald Trump.     Well, I strongly object to the term “semi-fascist" being applied to Trump supporters also.  Come on now, President Biden!  What’s up with the "semi" tag, anyway?  Republicans like Ted Cruz claim when Biden called MAGAs “semi-fascist,” he was just tossing “red meat” to his left-wing base, which is total BS.  Hell, everyone knows if Biden tossed any “meat” to his base, it would’ve been a “plant-based meat substitute,” like a “Beyond Meat” patty.      Republicans are sa...

Former president Donald Trump’s “Truth Social” website is in serious financial difficulty as its traffic is dwindling and the company scheduled to acquire it expresses fear that Trump’s legal problems could lead to a big decline in his popularity.  In addition, the company’s financial base has begun to erode, and it stopped paying its conservative web-hosting service RightForge back in March, meaning it now owes RightForge more than $1 million.  Payment disputes and a dwindling audience are fueling doubts about whether the former president’s Twitter clone can survive. What?  Trump is behind a failed business?  Say it isn’t so!  I just don’t get it; they had such a solid business model - using dark money provided by international crooks, shysters, and arms merchants - to finance a place where half-wits, conspiracy theorists, white supremacists, and other crackpots can gather to tell each other outrageous lies, spread hate, and defend the indefensible.  Now...

Republicans such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Tucker Carlson, Matt Gaetz, and Vern Buchanan are expressing outrage over President Joe Biden’s student loan forgiveness plan, which cancels a portion of student loan debt for the country’s middle-class students.   Meanwhile, many of these same Republicans received hundreds of thousands, with some even millions in PPP loans, which have been forgiven.   Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene had $183,504 forgiven, Matt Gaetz $476,000, Lauren Boebert $233,000, and Vern Buchanan had a whopping $2.3 million in government loans forgiven. OK, so let’s see here - Vern Buchanan is worth over $70 million, and his three car dealerships had at least $2.3 million in PPP loans forgiven. Hmmm, now what was that again about paying back loans, Vern?  Of course, I’m no math wizard, but it sure seems like Biden’s little $10K loan forgiveness thingy is kinda minuscule - next to your big, fat $2.3 million cash windfall.  Just sayin’. ...

The Dr. Oz Campaign has been on the receiving end of tons of mockery over a campaign video in which the doctor blamed the high price of “crudités” on Joe Biden, and then managed to mangle the names of the two grocery stores he visited in the video.   In response to the crudités mockery, the Oz Campaign issued a statement claiming that John Fetterman, Dr. Oz’s Democratic opponent for US Senate in Pennsylvania, might not have even had his stroke if he “had ever eaten a vegetable in his life.” OK, got it, doctor!  Sound nutritional advice from a snake-oil TV doctor who brags about being endorsed by Donald Trump, an orange specimen who basically lives on nothing but McDonald’s cheeseburgers, fries, and diet Cokes.  Now, not to sound critical, but perhaps Dr. Oz might concern himself a little more with what flows out of his mouth, rather than what goes into John Fetterman’s mouth. Of course, we all know that’s not very likely.  Campaign ads like Dr. Oz’s grocery sto...

Republican Senate hopefuls are getting crushed over the airwaves, as the National Republican Senatorial Committee’s campaign fund is quickly pulling ads and nearly out of cash.   This has many angry donors and campaign advisers asking “where all the money went?”   Especially, after months of touting record fundraising, topping $173 million so far this election cycle.   It seems Florida Sen. Rick Scott, who was put in charge of handling campaign spending, has been blowing through millions meant for Republican candidates for the US Senate.   Ironically, when he was CEO of Columbia/HCA about a decade ago, Rick Scott oversaw the largest Medicare fraud scheme ever committed in U.S. history, and his organization was fined $1.7 billion. Gee whiz!  You mean to tell me GOP “grifters got grifted?”  Say it isn’t so.  I mean, who could have predicted something like this?  Anyway, so let’s get this straight.  Republicans put a guy who oversaw the largest...

Kari Lake, MAGA election denier and winner of the Republican primary for governor of Arizona, has stirred up quite a bit of controversy after she endorsed Oklahoma legislator Jerrin Jackson in Oklahoma’s state senate race.   Jackson is considered a venomous homophobe and anti-semite, who has repeatedly made anti-Semitic statements such as "the Jews are evidence evil exists,” and “Jews will go to hell.”   He’s also said ”I am not beholden to Jews or any other group,”   and “I ain’t owned by Jews.”   In fact, his campaign slogan is " Choose Christ, Not Communism !”   In response to this controversy, candidate Lake sarcastically tweeted back about how this is yet another attempt by Libtards to try and prove “guilt by association.”  Well, to be completely honest - I think she’s right, they are.  That’s because, if I’m doing the math correctly, Lake not only associated with, but also “endorsed” a well-known anti-semite.  Therefore, I think there’s a p...
