When George Floyd died of a drug overdose despite the efforts of four police officers to save his life, the whole country knew who the four officers were the next day. The media created a false narrative that the officers murdered Floyd by keeping him pinned to the ground. The officers’ names were broadcast ad nauseum.

Ashli Babbitt was shot and killed by a Capitol police officer on January 6^th. The circumstances of that killing are still unknown. The name of the officer has still not been released. Why?

Super Bowl Opt-outs

In a move that will undoubtedly have major impacts in the advertising business, Coke will not advertise at all during this year’s Super Bowl game. Coke joins Audi in a complete absence. Pepsi and Budweiser will not advertise their flagship products. Anheuser-Busch has advertised its iconic Budweiser brand every year since 1983. Everyone who has watched the Super Bowls remembers the Clydesdales commercials.

What is this all about? The company spokespersons prattle on about looking at the market and evaluating where they are spending their advertising dollars. Perhaps that is just it. However, there are those in the industry who are opining that the single most watched event in American sports may be losing some of its luster.

China Joe’s inauguration speech on Wednesday was so boring that former President Bill Clinton took a nap during it. As one wag noted, “it was the first time in forty years that Bill actually slept next to Hillary.

Just how senile is Joe Biden? China Joe claimed that during the Trump administration, the federal government failed to act “with urgency” to combat COVID. This seems to ignore Operation Warp Speed that produced two viable vaccines in nine months’ time, a record. It also ignores the trillions of stimulus to combat the pandemic.

Trying to continue this line of nonsense, CNN reported that sources within the Biden administration said they inherited no vaccine distribution plan from the previous White House.

“There is nothing for us to rework. We are going to have to build everything from scratch,” one source reportedly told CNN’s MJ Lee.

Illegitimate

Back in 1941, President Roosevelt roared that December 7, 1941 was a date that would live in infamy. On December 7, 1941, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. This cemented our entry into World War II.

Yesterday, January 20, 2021 is truly a day that will live in infamy. This is destined to be seen as one of the darkest days in our history. Massive fraud and corruption elevated a spineless, corrupt, senile old man to be President of the United States. On this date, for the first time, an illegitimate President was sworn into the office. Evil has taken over the government of the United States of America.

California Is A Third World Country

It may be hard to fathom, but California rivals a lot of third world countries in their approach to keeping the lights on. Many less developed countries turn off the power at certain times in order to “keep people safe.” In these countries, the grid can be dangerously overloaded because insufficient infrastructure exists to carry the required power loads and the grid has not been maintained to the necessary standards of safety.

Thoughts Through An Idle Mind

Hillary Clinton says the thought of Donald Trump winning the election makes her “literally sick to my stomach.” I wonder why?

That’s an extraordinary reaction for someone who has been in politics for as long as she has. Perhaps the real reason is because she knows she will have to account for the role she played in launching the Russiagate scandal as well as numerous other less than ethical activities from the Clinton Global Initiative and the Clinton Foundation.

Oh well. Hillary could always stock up on Pepto. ...
