Item 13. Butker’s speech was beautiful. Sadly, the NFL prefers Diddy’s treatment of women over Butkers.

Expand full comment

the nfl prefers women because they control 80% of all the spending in america. the democrat party and nfl are two peas in the same pod....buying votes by pandering to women because females make make up the majority of voters and the majority of shoppers.

most women understand what is going on but play along because it benefits them while at the same time making men look idiotic. also, harrison butker being white is no small aspect of the agenda. the real war is against white males. THAT'S why this is all going on.

Yup, and the next natural progression of the NFL will be going to flag football. Just a matter of time...

Expand full comment

possible but i know you're really just chirping. the nfl would probably fade away before flag football became a reality. more likely most of the officiating will become females because that will give them a sense of being in charge. also the owners could all become females along with the majority of the fans in the seats.

i doubt it though. america has less than fifty years left before armageddon i believe.

Yep. 80% of the money and ALL of the __________. Hard to have more power than that.

Great summary. So much to comment on. But let's just start with Krugman. Is there a more pompous a-hole on the planet than this guy? BO maybe? Both with Nobel prizes mind you. Both destroy and are proven wrong with just about everything they touch. Only in America!

Especially liked the post on Deputy Jeremy McLaughlan. This is the perfect example of a good cop. Not like the bully that threw Scottie Scheffler in jail for virtually no reason.

John Kerry is a more pompous a hole by far.

Interesting how in order to be considered an asshole you have to be a Democrat. Or, is it the other way around? Asking for a friend.

Al Gore's gotta be in the running for the top spot. Being an asshole is the only thing he's good at except grifting the climate change bandwagon.

He can thank his wife and the Heinz Co. for his ascension. Just my opinion.

Alfred Nobel's descendants have petitioned the Committee to eliminate the Peace Prize and the Prize for Economics, saying that neither is "rooted in science." Boy is that right.

Injuring a cop with your vehicle isn't a sufficient reason? Even if the cop was wrong in stopping him (and last I heard the facts are still in dispute) there us no damn reason to simply drive off when ordered to do so.

If the cop was injured it was because he "attached" himself to the side of the car when Scheffler moved on. There were event people directing traffic and there were cops there. Scheffler was told he could drive in. Cops were unidentifiable in yellow rain coats. And yes, we don't know exactly what happened and probably never will but me, I'm going with the reporter who was an eye witness. I support law-enforcement as much as anyone but seems to me this was a gross over reaction by one cop.

ITEM 12: President Trump, do not pardon all those criminal Dems. Instead, pardon all 1,424+ J6ers ... except Ray Epps.

Ray Epps pleaded guilty to a single count of disorderly conduct. His sentence was a year of probation and a $500 fine. The federal judge said, "While many defendants have been vilified in a way unique to Jan. 6, you seem to be the first to have suffered for what you didn't do". LOL. It's good to have the FBI behind you.

"disorderly conduct"? He was inciting insurrection, which is what the Left claim Trump did and are trying to put him in prison.

I may be one of the few of Don’s readers who has actually met Cary Grant. I was 16 years old, and my father was driving me around as I followed my “Map to Movie Stars Homes.” We drove up to a surprisingly ordinary house, and I bravely rang the doorbell. Two men answered: one a grey-haired older fellow in a white t-shirt standing next to a middle aged chap. I turned to the middle-aged guy and asked would Mr. Grant be willing to give me an autograph. “Ask him yourself,” he said pointing to the man beside him. Got the autograph, thanked Mr. Grant and showed it to my amazed father!

Geez. When I saw him, all ll I had was a paper bag containing a tube of toothpaste that I bought during my lunch hour at a Revco drug store.. So I asked him to sign the bag.

Back then, most of the major stars lived in surprisingly ordinary houses. Unlike today, they were not into comparing genitals.

I met Cary Grant in front of the Carter Hotel in Cleveland one afternoon. He was sitting by himself in a convertible waiting for someone. I, too, got his autograph. But one thought remains prevalent in my mind: he was the most handsome man I have ever seen. And I'm 88 going on 89.

Your column yesterday was encouraging. Looks like the ship may be making a turn to the starboard side.

A comparison of the last three elections(https://paulmaj13.substack.com/archive) should convince every sentient voter that 2020 was stolen, not lost. However, my take is that the left will use invading illegal aliens to offset any loss of ballot stuffing or closer scrutiny of vote counting. Soros money is already recruiting poll workers.

Most damning are the campaign turnouts, followed closely by the County Bellwethers. How many actual voters in 477 counties could overcome almost 50% of the counties that Obama carried, and Biden didn’t? Never forget: ‘By Any Means Necessary’ is not a slogan.

1. Aw shucks! I didn't get to b**ch slap Krugman. I'd liked to have given him one for the team. 3. I don't doubt the EV cords were cut in the Bay Area, but I don't think it could've been vandals, they're getting on up there in years. https://www.buckeyebeat.com 5. DJT says he will insist on a drug test for CNN's FJB tongue-bath. 7. If I were king, I would give the college protesters a straight fine of $1,000 or that same essay of a thousand words, double-spaced on rag bond paper. Give them 36 hours to get it written. 9. Seniors stop spending their SSA funds on extras like food and utilities, and the money won't run out! 11. Noem probably wasn't going there anyway; she's putting up meat for the winter. 13. I am usually fashion conscious--especially if my cane coordinates with my outfit. BUT I would use my best cane to beat the living crap out of the NFL overlords who censured Harrison Butker. 15. Shoplifters can hardly wait, but they may be expecting Macy's quality items. I'll be Bach. I've gotta go Chopin.

Item 25- Scottie Scheffler arrest: If I had a bookie I would have wagered the cop was moonlighting from his fulltime job as a BOP (Bur. of Prisons) guard.

Turns out he’s a former New Orleans PD cop. Makes more sense.

Not having a bookie has made me the wealthy man that I am (that and SocSec).

#12: Pardon Trump for what? Mitt the Twit tries to stay relevant.

Excellent poll today, but a little difficult as all are stellar choices. I was in the 3%. The first thing that came to mind, after the Stooges references, was this scene with Curly. I’d pay to see Merchan have to do this in between debate questions. Talk about lightening the mood, not to mention a little public payback. It would bring a smile to Trump’s face. We could all use a little more of that.

In addition to drug tests for the debaters, drug tests should be mandatory for the moderators and entire crew. (camera, sound, etc.) That would be fun.
