Not This Year

In defiance of the best efforts of Democrat governors to keep the economy locked down and under wraps it came roaring back in August. Despite continued mandated closures and sanctioned rioting around the country, you just can’t keep the Trump economy down. August saw an added 1.4 million jobs which, along with the end of furloughs for 7 million employees, resulted in an 8.4% unemployment rate, a drop of nearly 2% from June levels of 10.2% and well below the 9.8% rate  economists “expected.” All of which was considered bad news in certain quarters.

Accordingly, the Big Three Alphabets adhered to the “no bad news on Friday” rule and not one of them even bothered to mention the “unexpectedly” vibrant job market yesterday, even during their business segments which you would think may be interested in such news. Instead, as Newsbusters pointed out, they droned on about Labor Day sales such as Staples 50% off on office chairs. One wonders who would be buying such things as they would have you believe that everybody is still out of work.

Meanwhile the Joey B campaign continues to hang its hat on the country's economy remaining in shambles, emphasizing what has nearly always been the case, that bad news for America is good news for the Democrats.

“Talk to a lot of real working people,” Biden said Friday, speaking at a community center just a few miles from his home. “Ask them, do they feel like they’re being left behind? Ask them how they feel about the economy coming back.”

“We all know it didn’t have to be this bad,” Biden said

Yes Joe, we do. And we know why it is this bad as well, and it isn’t because of the President no matter how hard you try to make the case otherwise. Next thing you know Joey will be blaming Trump for cancelling sports; oh wait…

he already did that. So while you’re not watching college football this afternoon, ask yourself this: who is keeping the churches closed? (Democrats)

And the stadiums empty? (Democrats)

So Go Blue? I don’t think so.

Not this year.

The Benevolent Diktats Of Potentates

Cue the Rocky music!

Michigan’s Grand High Potentate, Wretched Gretchen, has deemed fit to issue a diktat allowing gyms to reopen after a 6 month hiatus.

I hope it’s not too late.

That’s mighty benevolent diktator of you, Gov.

Of course the openings come with a few mandated restrictions according to Gretchen's benevolent order:

• Gym-goers will be required to wear a mask at all times [that way you remain aware of the control your overlords have over you – ‘at all times’], including when working out. An exception to that rule is swimming [that’s mighty thoughtful…and pragmatic].
• Gym owners should do their best to offer outdoor workout opportunities [right, because that’s what people go to gyms for].

Everyone! To the outdoor jungle gym for pullups!

• Capacity will be limited to 25%. [You’d think that with everyone required to wear masks “at all times” to “stay safe” they could operate at normal capacity, no?]

Because what business can’t survive at 25% capacity?

• The size of fitness classes must be reduced to enable 6 feet of separation between attendees. [Again, with the masks, are we not safe?]
• Equipment must be regularly disinfected and hand sanitizer or soap and water must be made available to clients. [That’s always been the case in my gym. Common sense cootie control.]
• The gym must increase the circulation of outdoor air as much as possible by opening windows and doors or using fans. [A. You’re going to be hearing from the Green Weenies about this! B. Fans!?! Blowing all those cooties around? What are you thinking?! C. Aren’t we already safe when everybody is “required to wear masks at all times?”]
• Steam rooms, saunas, Jacuzzis and cold-plunge pools will be closed. [OK. Especially the cold-plunge pools.]

Why we need gyms:

Nancy, With the Laughing Face…She Speaks For the Victims

If you give them the time the Left will eventually be exposed or expose themselves for the hypocrites they are. Mayor Man-Boy Wheeler must have been crushed when the “People of Portland” demanded he resign despite his ongoing fan-boy support of their increasingly violent actions:

We also demand that you - with your extreme wealth, nepotistic career history, and family legacy that highlight you as a true embodiment of white supremacy - resign from your position as the Police Commisioner and Mayor of Portland.

Sincerely,

The People of Portland

But Mayor Ted responded by announcing he was vacating his million dollar condo, no doubt at the request of his condo’s Board of Directors. Oh, and by blaming President Trump for the violence in his city.

Funny, isn’t it, that the actions in Portland were simply “peaceful protests” right up to the moment when polls indicated that dog won’t hunt?

Suddenly all those peaceful citizens exercising their First Amendment transformed into violent rioters because..Trump! Your indoctrinated supporters might be that easily convinced but most people outside your little bubble aren’t.

This sounds like you are writing about yourself. You let BLM-antifa rioters try to burn down the federal courthouse to show the feds that Portland will not cooperate. You rejected federal law enforcement help last week & let someone get murdered by antifa. https://t.co/ZBbbAa2y03

And then there’s Nancy Pelosi, insisting that she was setup by salon owner and demanding an apology. Really Nancy? Setup? Do you know who was actually setup? Michael Flynn, that’s who. Do you think perhaps he’s entitled to an apology?

Democrats: never the oppressor, always the victim.

“Nancy, with the laughing face”

What a disgusting old bag.

Death To America! Now Playing In A City Near You.

There was pushback when it was suggested that the logo  introduced at the Democrats’ convention -

was loaded with some not so subtle, nefarious symbolism.

Doubt it no more:

Americans march through American streets chanting "Death to America!" https://t.co/H7aBK0ONaZ pic.twitter.com/ZUZkd1hSHc

WARNING!

These BBQ novelties are nothing I’d normally post here, as they might be considered NSFW at best and lewd at worse. But since we’re talking about symbolism - and given the long hot summer of love being celebrated in Blue cities across the land but especially in Portland - they struck me as decidedly appropriate for this holiday weekend’s backyard weenie roast.

It’s the special Ted Wheeler/Kate Brown weenie/marshmallow roast set. Sorry, currently out-of-stock due to looting.

Don’t Blame Me, I’m Just the Sock Puppet

Joe Biden, speaking to coal miners while campaigning for the Dems’ presidential nomination in January, 2020:

“Give me a break, anybody who can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program, for God's sake!”

Only Joey could manage to insult both coal miners and software engineers in the same sentence while simultaneously demonstrating his ignorance of both. Miners don’t “throw coal into a furnace” in fact, nobody throws coal into a furnace anymore. Shoveling is a predictor of success for only one career:

Politician. Programming requires other skills.

But yesterday old shovel-ready Joe - the Dems’ torchbearer - delivered his first out-of-basement experience of the season. He took the opportunity to blame President Trump for “stroking violence in our cities.” Now given the nature of fake news these days this is a minor point but let the record reflect that what Old Joe actually said was “stroking” violence in our cities. Yet when reported by AP, the source for hundreds of other “news” reports, they “fixed it” for him and inserted the more appropriate verb “stoking.” Like I said it’s a minor point but it serves to make Biden sound more like a cognizant being than a teleprompter-reading NPC.

Apparently Joe felt the need to convince people that he was still that loveable, innocuous moderate he’s always been known as:

“You know me. You know my heart. You know my story, my family's story.

Yes Joe, we do. And it’s still creepy, an old fool who can’t stop “stroking” your young prey.

“Do I look like a radical socialist with a soft spot for rioters? Really?”

Honestly, at this point I’m not even sure you know what socialism is but you definitely look like you have a soft spot. Or two.

Yeah, no: somehow I find it hard to believe the protesters, anarchists, agitators, rioters, looters and lowlifes are taking their cues from President Trump. To be fair, they’re not getting them from Creepy Old Joe either, he’s just the sock puppet.

Know Your Antagonists

Meet the privileged, university credentialed white chick who thinks rioting and looting in the name of ‘social justice’ is cool and should be advocated because, well, white privilege.

“A fresh argument for rioting and looting as our most powerful tools for dismantling white supremacy”

Recently NPR gave Ms. Vicky a platform for promoting zer post-communist platform:

Looting strikes at the heart of property, of whiteness and of the police. It gets to the very root of the way those three things are interconnected. And also it provides people with an imaginative sense of freedom and pleasure and helps them imagine a world that could be.

So I think we have a right to know a little more about Ms.Vicky.

DUDE!

Got that? Looting during the course of riots is a redistribution of wealth, not theft, and that property damage, too, is simply a way to reapportion assets which she deems necessary in an unequal society.”

So just who is this lil darling? It appears that Ms. Vicky was born Willie Osterweiler

and as such previously pedaled the same idea under that nom.

All of which might explain his choice (sans ‘Willie’ – IYKWIMAITYD) in life-partners, aka ‘wife’.

This is Ms. Vicky’s likewise white privileged life-partner, Sophie Lewis, Oxford credentialed new-wave feminist writer. She has some revolutionary ideas of her own, as published in her book Full Surrogacy Now, a polemic that calls for abolishing the family.

Don’t you just love it when intersectionality brings two whack theories together and lets them marry each other?

While these two no doubt deserve each other, America does not deserve to have our publicly funded air-waves polluted with the nutty, venomous ideas generated by their respective undoubtedly screwed up childhoods. Tell it to your therapists.
