I’m a lot more worried about the “let’s visit Fort Knox and see what’s in there” promise than I am about the Epstein files. It was a big deal for a couple of weeks, then quietly dropped off the radar screen. Por qué?
08/15/25: Because it was never a big story in 2025 to begin with. Sleazy Bill Barr --- personally responsible for the conditions that made it possible for the Epstein "suicide," therefore responsible for the suicide itself, and who has gotten away scot-free from any serious investigation --- must be quite relieved that the issue (which flared up during 3 Crazy Weeks 07/18/25---08/11/25) --- has once again dropped dead.
I was gong to say this is the funniest of all the funnies Barry Indonesia,etc., but you bet me to it....But Democrats are as smart as an emergency exit on a submarine.
Yeah I know gold backs up the world currencies ( which I have a hard time with ) ; but practically it's only a fantastic electrical conductor and makes great ballast stones. We ain't near as advanced as we thought are we ? But what do I know being a poor redneck from the South who couldn't afford it in quantity anyway 🤔 .
08/15/25: I love the way that they keep quoting French, as if he has ANY influence. And what ever happened to his wife, who got busted as a Chinese spy?
In a good way. Like a loving guard dog. Consider these bon mots and truthisms:
“French is as bright as a blackhole. The light goes in, but it never gets out. His brain is a Roach Motel for intelligent thoughts.”
“The media will never know how much hardcore Trump supporters despise Sir Rupert over that botched Election Night coverage in 2020. [It was the last time my wife and I watched Fox (Thank the heavens there is Newsmax) and it inspired the wife to go along with my desire to cut the cord.)] Sir Rupert has now trumped himself by playing the birthday card.”
Citing a great tweet that ends with: “…Trump would win by an even larger margin if the election were held today.”
Great witticisms.
“Democrats are as smart as an emergency exit on a submarine.”
And Surber is always so informative: “All is not lost, Barry. Indonesia does not have a general extradition treaty with the United States.”
Thank you MM, I have been wondering if my bride and myself were only ones that stopped watching Fox after that Chinese fire drill of election night coverage. Seems like our circle of conservatives friends still watch Fox! We cut the cord about a week after that.
Everyday Trump does something Democrats have a cow about. Illegal immigration enforcement and crime are hot topics lately and Dems are having a cow about it. After all those are “voters” who are being deported and they don’t vote for Republicans.
The mayors of the crime centers-LA, Chicago and Washington DC are so be beside themselves that they leave town, have “press conferences”aka bitch and therapy sessions or they say the President is afraid of smart black men.
The news for the weekend and next week will be how Putin played Trump.
Nothing will excite the black voting block better than "I be a smart black man, Trump he be scared of me". What a dunce. Blacks are no different than whites. When they see crap, they step around it.
Maybe, but Putin is running out of instruments his back is to the Wall. Trump has become stronger and more confident. He will not be a the Putin love-puppy many expect. Putin may want to stay away from open windows when he goes back home.
Thank you, Don, for translating The Road Runner. Those cartoons have now taken on a brand new meaning for me. I enjoyed them as a kid and now you’ve let me enjoy them again as an adult!
Road Runner was great, but Foghorn Leghorn was the king. Of French, a classic Foghorn comment would be 'He's about as sharp as a bowling ball'. And 'Boy, I say Boy, don't be thinking too hard. You seem to lack the necessary equipment.'
Notice how the Epstein story is fading away. Nothing more to see here. Move on. Next story to fade away will be Russiagate. No indictments, no arrests, no trials, no 3AM SWAT raids, no nothing. This is the Swamp. And you know what? This strategy will work for most. But not for all of us.
I hope you are wrong. I pray that the grand juries impaneled will produce a huge harvest of indictments with teeth of a monster bear! If this does not happen, the evil will happen again! So indictments, prosecutions, jail time and death penalties must happen!
I just watched the John Soloman interview with Megyn Kelly talking about multiple grand juries Bondi has assembled in various states. I believe in my heart of hearts we're going to be seeing some very interesting things happening. Soloman says the big grand jury will be assembled in FL. We must be patient, these proceedings are always kept in secret
Agreed, prosecutions must happen. But deep in my heart, I realize that even Trump can only do so much. If he can fix the economy, foreign affairs, and bring some degree of sanity to govt spending, I will count him a monumental success. I saw the assassination attempt as a warning to him. If he pushes against their evil behavior too hard, they will JFK him without a second thought. I still hope, but I am a realist.
Matt Taibbi sees parallels with the Twitter files in the drip drip of revelations. There are grand juries empaneled in three states (at least)--MD, PA, VA and purportedly one is already working or soon will be in FL.
Will there be justice in this world? Who knows. These are real attempts at revealing the truth of the obstruction, collusion and conspiracies.
In any event there is final justice when one dies. That is a certainty.
William called it above. The next "breaking story" to backburner epstein/russiagate/terrorinDC will be how Putin played Trump. The blues are going to get dizzy trying to follow the shiny balls. I'm keeping track for a relative who swallows every one...
Lovely effort today. It is a great start to the weekend and the laughs chased the blues away. The noose has to be frightening for the deep state citizens and the drama is oscar worthy. Y Lee O'bama should be defecating his knickers. The poll re biggest bust requires a five-sided coin and I don't have one.
Plan for the weekend? Get a haircut, mow the lawn and immediately afterwards sit in the shade to drink a cold beer.
Watch the cars go by and take the advice of the Headstones.
Yes he should be, problem is he's too stupid to understand that. Never forget that he turns into a stuttering cluster fuck of a miserable failure the moment he looses his place on the teleprompter. SCoaMF for short.
If Epstein's menu had included young boys, Barry would have eclipsed worthless Willie on the flight logs.
At the end of it all he will still be a puppet for Gates and Soros. And the money changers will just buy another cheap grifter with a thirst for money.
The money changers buy politicians like a fat kid buys candy bars. Very few Dudley Do Rights go into politics or police. The people who do are looking for power which translates to money.
I don’t care what anybody says, the episode where he puts bird shot in RR’s food and then moves the ACME electromagnet into the cave in the desert was the funniest.
It starts out attracting nails and cans and finishes with road side mail boxes still attached to their posts, sputnick and the Queen Mary.
How much of a party would that development team had putting that episode together?
The only thing that would come close would be the boys over at ‘Big Johnson’ T-Shirts!
The creativity of the early cartoons (Going back to the 1930's and 40's even) was astounding and set the stage for Looney Tunes and Road Runner. I used to have a VHS tape of a collection of the old ones from that time period - some of which were the precursors to what I grew up with in the 1960's.
These animators, writers, and producers were at the top of their creativity game. What a gem of a product.
Rocky and Bullwinkle may be the gold standard of using sarcasm as thoughtful humor.. I have a DVD set of R & B somewhere. I should dust off the old machine and watch a few episodes as a distraction to the never-ending waves of politics.
Years ago a joke made the rounds: What are the four most-feared words in America? "I be your president." If we had only known how true that would turn out to be ....
I dropped them and tried to unsubscribe to their daily emails. They still send them. I found an old copy of the WSJ from the 80s—the day of my daughter’s birth. It was so different from what it has become. Still good to use to put my paint can on while I am painting the bathroom.
The mood among voters is reflected in election results. Reagan asked, "Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?" Trump asked the same question in 2024. The results of their campaigns were answers delivered by The People. Trump has banished the grim, negative, depressing all is lost Biden-Harris mood. (Also known as the mood totalitarian systems create.) Trump has created a mood of hope and pride in America. (Also known as the mood free systems create.) He has been restoring the shiny city on a hill. He began a political reformation. He has moved on to a physical restoration. By restoring Washington as a beacon of freedom, both politically and physically, he will create a mood of hope to freedom loving people around the world. Don's recitation of Acme's ineffectual opposition gives us and the world additional reasons for believing all is not lost.
This is a ‘figure of speech’ extravaganza. I’m going to be late for work due to the time it’s gonna take me to copy and paste to my Great Figures of Speech file.
But, another thing. I was USAF, and an emergency exit door on a submarine seems logical to me. Can one of you USN’s splain that for me?
08/15/25: We've over looked the submarine tree-house attachment. Installed 30 feet to the rear of the torpedo tubes, welded to the outside of the sub. Might create drag and slower dive speeds, but the recreational features are indispensable.
That sounds like a prank you play on newbies, like us telling them to go to supply and bring back 100’ of flight line or telling them they have the 8pm to 8am hurricane watch.
I used to send the newbs in the garage to the parts store for muffler bearings and my buds there always played along checking inventory before sending them back.

Agree , he's another sleaze bag it turns out .
08/15/25: As convincing as Harold Cole (WWII, see), the subject of the biography, Turncoat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Cole).
Thx for the reminder, Bubble. You were a fan of Columbo, weren’t you?
Guilty, as charged.
“But Democrats are as smart as an emergency exit on a submarine.” 😂😂😂Which Hank Johnson might use if Guam collapses on it.
I was gong to say this is the funniest of all the funnies Barry Indonesia,etc., but you bet me to it....But Democrats are as smart as an emergency exit on a submarine.
And also a fan of the song "Hot Smoke and Sassafrass", maybe?
Always had a soft spot for the “One-Hit Wonders” of the 60’s and 70’s. 😄
I met one of the Bubble Puppy guys in an Atlanta recording studio, sometime in the 70s.
That’s pretty cool. Were they still together then? I figured they were “one and out”.
weren't we all fans of Colombo and his loose trench coat?
I think the answer is ‘yes’, w/o exception. That’s how this bunch rolls.
That story went out the emergency exit on a submarine Bubble.
LOL I think you may be right!
I doubt if one person in ten believes there is any gold left in Fort Knox.
Goldfinger tried to steal it and field FAILED. We were saved by James, Bond- and by Pussy galore...as always!
That would make one of the nine.
Really doesn't matter until the Fed is removed from the face of the earth
Yeah I know gold backs up the world currencies ( which I have a hard time with ) ; but practically it's only a fantastic electrical conductor and makes great ballast stones. We ain't near as advanced as we thought are we ? But what do I know being a poor redneck from the South who couldn't afford it in quantity anyway 🤔 .
Barry is still stirring up trouble- zoom meetings to the Texas cry babies
Fleebaggers.
so I heard just last night. BHO just can't bear to be out of the spotlight, it's always got to be all about him
He is such a narcissist
“French is as bright as a blackhole. The light goes in, but it never gets out. His brain is a Roach Motel for intelligent thoughts.”
“Democrats are as smart as an emergency exit on a submarine.”
Thanks for the laffs, Don!
08/15/25: I love the way that they keep quoting French, as if he has ANY influence. And what ever happened to his wife, who got busted as a Chinese spy?
I think you are thinking of Max Boot, whose wife was outed as a South Korean spy. (And no, I don't know what's happened to her.)
08/20/25: You are entirely correct. My mistake. If French were worth an apology, I'd extend one (he isn't; I'm not). Thanks for the correction.
Don Surber bites.
In a good way. Like a loving guard dog. Consider these bon mots and truthisms:
“French is as bright as a blackhole. The light goes in, but it never gets out. His brain is a Roach Motel for intelligent thoughts.”
“The media will never know how much hardcore Trump supporters despise Sir Rupert over that botched Election Night coverage in 2020.

Me too. First thing I do every morning after getting a cup of coffee.
Sip and swallow BETWEEN paragraphs as a keyboard saving precaution Plays ??
Sounds like the “voice of experience”, Marlan. Want to expand on that? LOL
Only one old laptop//so far but it was due I told the wife /lol
Good one Marlan
Absolutely!
The news right now is rather boring to me.
Everyday Trump does something Democrats have a cow about. Illegal immigration enforcement and crime are hot topics lately and Dems are having a cow about it. After all those are “voters” who are being deported and they don’t vote for Republicans.

Nothing will excite the black voting block better than "I be a smart black man, Trump he be scared of me". What a dunce. Blacks are no different than whites. When they see crap, they step around it.
I'm the same boat. Although I do enjoy when a partisan judge somewhere gets a slap down. Yes, Boasberg I am talking about you.
Maybe, but Putin is running out of instruments his back is to the Wall. Trump has become stronger and more confident. He will not be a the Putin love-puppy many expect. Putin may want to stay away from open windows when he goes back home.
The msm knows we know they are dems to the bone but Dons bright as a black hole applies to the TDS addled W.C.

Yes, if they are done lawfully. As opposed to the constant leaks (and lies) from the Dems.
The old /no news is good news/certainly applies to active grand jurys. Under PDJT maybe /silence is golden / is more befitting.
Agreed, prosecutions must happen. But deep in my heart, I realize that even Trump can only do so much. If he can fix the economy, foreign affairs, and bring some degree of sanity to govt spending, I will count him a monumental success. I saw the assassination attempt as a warning to him. If he pushes against their evil behavior too hard, they will JFK him without a second thought. I still hope, but I am a realist.
Exactly. But if Kash and Blondie were serious why would they be be leaking the case on FOX every night with the blowhard Hannity?
Might they be dragging a red herring thru the swamp as bait A.D. ?
They're not that smart.
you're wrong
What about a $100 bill through a trailer park?

" Nothing Burger " ; apt description as always !
Lovely effort today. It is a great start to the weekend and the laughs chased the blues away. The noose has to be frightening for the deep state citizens and the drama is oscar worthy.

Yes he should be, problem is he's too stupid to understand that. Never forget that he turns into a stuttering cluster fuck of a miserable failure the moment he looses his place on the teleprompter. SCoaMF for short.

You very wise man. Well put.

That was a great moment in cinematic history
The creativity of the early cartoons (Going back to the 1930's and 40's even) was astounding and set the stage for Looney Tunes and Road Runner. I used to have a VHS tape of a collection of the old ones from that time period - some of which were the precursors to what I grew up with in the 1960's.
These animators, writers, and producers were at the top of their creativity game. What a gem of a product.
I agree. Another great product was the Rocky and Bullwinkle franchise.
I knew things were starting to slide when Hanna-Barbara showed up!
Rocky and Bullwinkle may be the gold standard of using sarcasm as thoughtful humor.. I have a DVD set of R & B somewhere. I should dust off the old machine and watch a few episodes as a distraction to the never-ending waves of politics.
I loved “moose and squirrel”.
Years ago a joke made the rounds: What are the four most-feared words in America? "I be your president." If we had only known how true that would turn out to be ....
Four words from Trump to the Dems;
"I am your Father."
I'm your Daddy sounds better
No, I think that's a Star Wars reference.
https://youtu.be/00yWOWM-FbQ?si=QnAcXRojnZwxKkfP&t=103
Yes, you're right. I was thinking of the Nato leader referring to Trump as Daddy.
The WSJ has become the ‘Washington Generals’ of news. The MSM love to report “EVEN the WSJ says Trump is a bum”. Sacre bleu!
I'm reading the WSJ less and less these days. May soon drop it.
After a quarter century, I ended my subscription.
I ended mine the day after their 2020 election perfidies. And cut the cable so none of my $$ go to Fox
I dropped them and tried to unsubscribe to their daily emails. They still send them. I found an old copy of the WSJ from the 80s—the day of my daughter’s birth. It was so different from what it has become. Still good to use to put my paint can on while I am painting the bathroom.
I dropped WSJ maybe in 2020 if not earlier
“French is as bright as a blackhole. The light goes in, but it never gets out. His brain is a Roach Motel for intelligent thoughts.”
That’s some good stuff!😂🤣😂🤣😂

“Played the birthday card.” Dunno how you can do this every day. I approve!

But, another thing. I was USAF, and an emergency exit door on a submarine seems logical to me. Can one of you USN’s splain that for me?
Just occurred to me, Don- did you mean ‘screen door’?
That's a little cliche for me
Mine’s ‘half of one, six dozen of the other’.
A Norm Crosbyism
"Six of one; half a dozen of the other..."
Rev- are you familiar with Norm Crosby and malapropisms?
You could also use "an erection in China".
I'm going to start saying that, see whether people notice.
My husband says that all the time.
He could also use "an ejection seat in a helicopter", or " a nudist camp in Antarctica".
There are actually two of them. At least on the two boats I served in, one forward and one aft. They are called “escape trunks”.
Thx
I took it to mean a door that you could never actually open bc you would be underwater at deadly depth when you needed to escape.
I do get that you'd want an escape door to use on the surface maybe, but the mind always goes to subs being way down deep.

All the above were bad but Obama "Care" cost America TRILLIONS! That whole gang, including his third-term puppet, Joe, belong in jail!
