Highlights of the week
If you cannot get the tweet to work, here is the link.
ITEM 1: Nayib Bukele, president of El Salvador, tweeted, “Think what you want about former President Trump and the reasons he’s being indicted.
“But just imagine if this happened in any other country, where a government arrested the main opposition candidate.
“The United States ability to use democracy as foreign policy is gone.”
Eat your bananas, peasants.
ITEM 2: The press is not alarmed by the banana republic nature of this Four years ago, the press sang a different tune.
On September 21, 2019, the Wall Street Journal began a news story, “President Trump in a July phone call repeatedly pressured the president of Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden’s son, according to people familiar with the matter, urging Volodymyr Zelensky about eight times to work with Rudy Giuliani on a probe that could hamper Mr. Trump’s potential 2020 opponent.”
It is different when Democrats do it because of reasons our little peasant minds could never comprehend.
ITEM 3: The New York Times preached, “We Finally Know the Case Against Trump, and It Is Strong.”
Strong as in the stench from the sewers. Oh, he will be convicted. The jury will be just as rigged as the 2020 election.
ITEM 4: Fox reported, “House Republicans will forge ahead with their own plan to cut federal spending over the next several weeks after President Biden again rejected the idea of negotiating cuts with the GOP in the context of a broader deal to raise the debt ceiling.”
Just a reminder that every now and then the politicians have to take time off from politicking to actually govern.
ITEM 5: The Tennessean reported, “More than a 1,000 peaceful protestors rallied around Tennessee’s state Capitol on March 30 calling for more restrictive gun laws. Many made their way into the Capitol in a demonstration top Republican lawmakers have likened to ‘an insurrection.’
“No demonstrators broke into the Capitol, no one was arrested or injured, and no property was damaged.
“But legislative business in the House was brought to a halt when three elected Democratic representatives stood at the podium with a bullhorn to lead protestors in the galleries in calls for gun reform.
“House Republicans filed resolutions Monday to expel the three members who interrupted legislative business, triggering a removal process expected to take place this Thursday. The trio will have a chance to defend their actions, but expulsion is likely under the Republican supermajority in the House.”
Don’t want none, don’t start none. They entered the Capitol. That is now an insurrection. The ex-legislators should be glad they weren’t jailed.
ITEM 6: Bonchie reported, “Republicans Grow a Backbone, Officially Expel Tennessee Democrat Who Led Insurrection.”
Democrats oppose the Second Amendment — and the rest of the Constitution.
ITEM 7: Forbes reported, “Twitter Adds ‘State-Affiliated Media’ Label To NPR Account Putting It On Par With Russia Today.”
The name of the one that is anti-communist doesn’t begin with the letter N.
ITEM 8: The Detroit Free Press reported, “A majority of Detroiters support reparations and say policymakers should, too, report says.”
The city is 77% black.
ITEM 9: The Comeback reported, “Caitlyn Jenner makes political move against transgender athletes.”
On Tuesday, he tweeted, “Today I publicly launch Fairness First PAC to fight the radical gender ideology, put parental rights at the forefront of education, and keep boys out of women’s sports.”
Thank you, Bruce.
ITEM 10: LSU defeated Iowa to win the girl’s basketball trophy — without trannies.
Fox reported, “LSU forward Angel Reese appeared to be burnt up about the suggestion first lady Jill Biden made about the possibility of inviting Iowa to the White House for its run to the national championship.”
She said, “I’m not gonna lie to you, I don’t accept the apology.” She later added, “We’ll go to the Obamas, we’ll see Michelle, we’ll see Barack.”
Well, Martha’s Vineyard is nice this time of year.
ITEM 11: Just the News reported, “Saudi Arabia’s and Iran’s Foreign Ministers met in Beijing on Thursday to discuss key details in the resumption of their relations following a landmark agreement mediated by China last month.”
Under Biden, the world has discovered it no longer needs the USA.
We are now Canada without the eh.
ITEM 12: Media-ite reported, “During a Wednesday afternoon hearing, Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric M. Davis ruled that top Fox executives Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, and Paul Ryan will have to testify live at the trial in the defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion Voting Systems.”
Why do I get the feeling Rupert is taking a dive in order to reward Dominion for electing Biden?
ITEM 13: State-affiliated media NPR reported, “Taiwan's President Tsai Ing-wen vowed Wednesday to ‘defend the peaceful status quo’ in which the people of Taiwan can continue to thrive in a free and open society. Her remarks came after a meeting with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy that Beijing Red China had warned against.
“Speaking in a joint appearance with McCarthy before a bipartisan group of U.S. lawmakers at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library outside Los Angeles, the Taiwanese leader also thanked the U.S. for its support to Taiwan.”
All things considered, I can almost hear, “I’m Ronald Reagan and I approve this message.”
ITEM 14: Asian Crime Report tweeted, “ACR Exclusive: Asian female driver in San Francisco is alert at an intersection and runs the red light to avoid getting robbed by thugs. Asian women are targeted daily by racist thugs at red lights and stop signs in this city. Perps described as black men and the car is black.”
The real racists are the reparationists.
By the way, Asians are the safest drivers.
ITEM 15: A reader wrote, “Alvin Bragg issued the news of Donald Trump's indictment on March 30, coincidentally the day of my birth but also the day, 42 years ago, that John Hinckley (a Democrat) tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan.
“Yesterday, April 4, the day of President Trump's arraignment, marked 55 years since James Earl Ray (another Democrat) assassinated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis.
“Two shameful anniversaries now copied by two new attempts by Democrats to (figuratively) assassinate another Republican. Coincidences? Perhaps. But no less shameful.”
There are no coincidences in politics.
ITEM 16: The Hill reported, “The Supreme Court has ruled that transgender athletes transvestites in West Virginia can compete on female school sports teams in response to a challenge by the state to allow it to enforce a law that prohibits such athletes from doing so.”
Fake News.
The court simply said let the case be heard at the appellate level before taking the case up. The state wanted to skip that step. The court said no.
ITEM 17: Variety reported, “Don Lemon’s Misogyny at CNN, Exposed: Malicious Texts, Mocking Female Co-Workers and ‘Diva-Like Behavior.’”
I dare say that more people read about him to laugh than watch his shows.
Maybe a blackhole swallowed his audience.
ITEM 18: Bud Light hired a drag queen as its spokesman.
In West Virginia, we now call Bud Light tranny fluid.
ITEM 19: The Daily Wire reported, “Leonardo DiCaprio Testifies In Trial Against Fugees Rapper Accused Of Illegally Funneling $30 Million To Obama Campaign.”
Does anyone believe Romney didn’t know?
ITEM 20: Breitbart Politics reported, “Over 72% of NYC Violent Crime Suspects Freed Without Bail Go On to Commit More Crimes.”
0% of executed murders kill again.
Democrats demoted the cops to doormen for the revolving doors of justice.
ITEM 21: Cleveland.com reported, “A demand for more cheese at Chipotle Mexican Grill in Ohio spawned a fight in the restaurant where one suspect pulled out a gun and another repeatedly shouted, ‘shoot them.’”
Name that race.
Drudge ignored the story, instead it linked the Wall Street Journal’s exclusive, “Chipotle Peppered With Complaints Over Salsa Spiciness”
The Lewinsky scandal never would have broke if today’s Matt Drudge ran his report in 1998.
ITEM 22: TFIGlobal reported, “The U.S. is rigging elections in Paraguay.”
Why should Paraguay be treated any different than Arizona?
ITEM 23: The Miami Herald screamed, “Son of Rebekah Jones, Florida whistleblower, arrested in probe of threatening Internet posts.”
She is not a whistleblower. She is a Democrat who changed data to increase covid death numbers — a forgery aimed at discrediting a Republican governor.
The Fake News operation’s story never mentioned her guilty plea to charges related to that.
The Pensacola News Journal had an interesting account. It’s a very sad case in which Mom had to lock up the knives. He was going to attack classmates in school. Jones blames DeSantis.
ITEM 24: PJ Media reported, “Another Would-Be Trans Mass Shooter Arrested.”
This time it is a fat boy pretending to be a girl.
ITEM 25: KOIN reported, “James Webb telescope provides new view of Uranus.”
Looks pretty much like the old view.
ITEM 26: NYT said, “Finland Joins NATO in a Power Shift and Rebuke to Putin.”
I am sure Putin is in a fetal position in the corner sucking his thumb over this. The Winter War of 1939-1940 ended with Finland giving up 11% of its territory to the Soviet Union.
It is one more NATO mouth for U.S. taxpayers to feed. How much is Reindeer Chow per pound?
ITEM 27: Fox reported, “Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines was barricaded in a room at San Francisco State University Thursday night after she was physically assaulted following a speech to students about saving women's sports at a Turning Point USA and Leadership Institute event on the campus.”
A man in a dress punched her repeatedly. Police escorted her to safety as a mob of these maniacs chased her.
I am sick of writing about these nuts.
ITEM 28: The Washington Post said, “IRS overhaul aims for tenfold increase in audits of the wealthy.”
Millions of Americans will soon learn they are wealthy.
ITEM 29: The Verge reported, “Writers trying to embed tweets in their Substack stories are in for a rude surprise: after pasting a link to the site, a message pops up saying that ‘Twitter has unexpectedly restricted access to embedding tweets in Substack posts’ and explaining that the company is working on a fix. Additionally, there are reports that any link with substack in its name is now blocked on Twitter. The unfortunate situation comes on the heels of Substack announcing Notes, a Twitter competitor.”
What if I change it to ubstack-say?
Oh, and I figured away around it. Use quote tweet to retweet.
ITEM 30: NBC reported, “Judge in Trump's New York case appears to have donated $15 to Biden for President in 2020.
“Federal campaign contribution data also shows two small-dollar donations to progressive groups the same year.”
As the Supreme Court once said, “A judge, like Caesar’s wife, must be above suspicion.”
ITEM 31: USA Today clutched its pearls and said, “Version of ‘Anne Frank’ removed from Florida high school library after parent complaint.”
Buried in the story is the book being sexually explicit. Her actual diary is still available at the school.
The poll question is tough today.
ITEM 22: TFIGlobal reported, “The U.S. is rigging elections in Paraguay.”
Why should Paraguay be treated any different than Arizona?
Or Pennsylvania or Michigan or Georgia, etc.
ITEM 25: I don't care to see Uranus.
(Sorry, I apologize. Saturday morning with Surber brings the child out in me.)
