Intro

It's time for a reality check ...

Maybe we’ve reached the point of diminishing astonishment.

But I suspect that much of what we’re hammered with every day really doesn’t make much of an impact on most of us anymore. We’ve heard the same stories too often. We’ve been exposed to the same issues for so long without any meaningful resolution. We recognize that reality is rapidly becoming malleable, primarily in the hands of whoever has the biggest microphone. How else can we explain a society where myth asserts itself as reality, based entirely how many hits it gets online?

We know that many of the “issues” as defined are pure crapola, hyped by politicians on both sides pandering to “the will of the people,” which is still more crapola. Inevitably, it’s not the will of all the people they reflect, but the will of relatively small groups of people with disproportionate political influence.

Nobody wants to face up to the realities of the issues. Nobody wants to say what’s right or wrong – even when it’s obvious and there are numbers to back it up. Most of us are afraid to bring up the realities for fear of being accused of being insensitive or downright mean.

So we say nothing. Until now.

It’s time for a reality check on the fundamentals – much of which is common knowledge to many of us, already. But it might be comforting to know you are not alone …

Yet another bozo on the crazy bus ...

And the Democrat sideshow continues. 

“Beto” O’Rourke has thrown his hat into the ring.  He’s running for President.

Then again, who isn’t? 

So we now have privileged white guy that's a fake Hispanic – Beto (real name, Robert) O’Rourke –  who is about as Hispanic as I am Chinese, who was once charged with burglary, once charged with a DUI (and leaving the scene of an accident), once wrote a first-person fantasy about mowing down and killing two children in a crosswalk, once wrote a poem about a cow “buffing” his balls, told a reporter he'd tear down the border walls in El Paso if he could, and who now claims that he was "born" to run for President, yet doesn’t seem to have any concrete ideas about what he’d do if he actually became President.     

Chris Matthews thinks he's Kennedy-esque. I'm thinking Joe or Ted, maybe.  

At last count, we also have:

A fake African-American (with Jamaican/South Asian parents) who slept her way to big public jobs in California, who as District Attorney in San Francisco refused to go for the death penalty for the murderer of a police officer and was publicly rebuked by Diane Feinstein for that, claimed she smoked weed and listened to Tupac and Snoop Dogg while in college (although neither of them put out any recordings until years after she left college) – Kamala Harris.

A fake Native American who lied about it to get a position at Harvard – Elizabeth Warren. (Do I really need to say any more about her?)

An unrepentant socialist who honeymooned in the USSR, travels only on private jets and owns three homes while railing about climate change and income inequality, and whose wife is under investigation for shady financial deals when she ran a college – Bernie Sanders.

A former mayor of Newark who can’t say where millions in donations to fix public education in his city went, and referred to himself in a Congressional hearing as “Spartacus” – Corey Booker. 

A US Senator from Minnesota with a history of being abusive to her own staff, who ate a salad with her comb because a staffer forgot to get proper forks and then told that staffer to wash her comb – Amy Klobuchar. 

A former mayor of Denver who, despite starting a successful private business (a brewing company) and dabbling in real estate development, and made a lot of money as a capitalist is still not sure he’s really a capitalist – John Hickenlooper. 

A US Senator from New York who is a leading advocate for women’s rights and the #metoo movement yet had one of her own aides resign in protest over how she handled that aide’s claim of sexual harassment against another of her senior staffers, is a former pal of Harvey Weinstein and current pal of Hillary and the sexual predator-in-chief Bill Clinton – Kirsten Gillibrand.  

A US Representative from Hawaii, and former Iraq combat-zone veteran who once lobbied against LGBT rights as late as 2005 but now has “evolved” to support the LGBT community, and who once travelled to Syria to meet with and show her support for keeping the mass murderer of his own people and Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in place – Tulsi Gabbard.   

And waiting in the wings to jump in at any time, a former US Senator from Delaware and former Vice President, who plagiarized his way through college, and once said you can’t go into a convenience store to buy cigarettes without an Indian accent, everyone’s favorite weird uncle and groper-in-chief – the gaffe-master himself, the one, the only, Joe Biden.

Quite a list.  Those are just the big names.  All of them publicly support the Green New Deal.  All of them support Medicare for all.  All of them are opposed to securing our borders.  All of them support amnesty for illegal immigrants.  All of them support some form of socialism. I believe all of them have also come out in favor of reparations.  

Quite a lot of folks jumping on the crazy bus. Beto’s just the latest bozo. 

Maybe when they go to the Democrat debates, they can all pile out of one little clown car wearing big shoes and red noses.

Seems appropriate to me.
