Is This Lying Alex Jones Waterloo?


                                        Good Day World!

The scum who calls himself Alex Jones is in a lot of trouble. It's about time!

How many years have to go by with constant harassment from Jones and his hate site Infowars, before enough is enough?

Now we'll find out.

A pair of lawsuits were filed late Monday.

The parents of two children who died in the December 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, say Jones’ repeated lies and conspiratorial ravings have led to death threats.

The suits join at least two other recent cases accusing the Infowars host of defamation.

For years lying Alex pushed a story claiming the whole Sandy Hook thing was fake. He even claimed the parents of the dead children were crisis actors.

If the term crisis actors sounds familiar it should. In the recent Florida high school massacre, students were criticized as crisis actors during and after the terrible incident by extreme right-wing loons like Jones.

As of yesterday, Infowars still blatantly posted this headline:
FBI Says No One Killed At Sandy Hook.

These charges of defamation are going to be compounded by another lawsuit filed in March by a man who recorded the deadly car attack at last year's White Supremacy Rally in Charlottsville, Virginia.

Jones accused him of being a "deep state shill" and a "CIA asset" who helped organize the attack. Now Jones will get to see him in court.

But not before he goes to court for accusing a 24-year old man of being the real gunman who killed those 17 people at Marjoria Stoneman Douglas High School in February.

Seems to me, that pig-bastard is going to have a lot of lawyer bills this year...and it's only April.

Could this be the end of Infowars, one of the most extreme right wing sounding booths on the internet?

Let's hope Jones is left penniless, and living in the streets by the end of this year.

Time for me to walk on down the road...

Another Trumpie Violates Federal Spending Laws - What Will Trump Do?

Good Day World!

Trump's nominees have cycled in and out of the White House, and his administration, like suicidal lemmings.

They're all aware Trump could fire them if they make the mistake of pissing him off.

 Because Trump only picks the best - in this case the most corrupt - it's inevitable that some laws will catch up to his vermin when they stick their filthy little claws into the jelly bean jar.

So, it's no surprise EPA Administrator Scott "The Puke" Pruitt has been caught violating federal spending laws, according to the Government Accounting Office (GAO) in an announcement yesterday.

The $43,000 soundproof phone booth that he had installed in his office last year was a clear violation of the law, not to mention the action of a paranoid schizophrenic.

No other administrator in the EPA's history felt a need for such an extravagant set-up that The Puke claimed was necessary. 

In an eight-page letter to lawmakers, GAO general counsel Thomas H. Armstrong said the agency failed to notify lawmakers that it was exceeding the $5,000 limit for agency heads to furnish, redecorate or otherwise make improvements to their offices.

Armstrong said the agency also violated the federal Antideficiency Act because it used appropriated funds in a manner specifically prohibited by the law.

Understand, this isn't the first time The Puke showed he didn't mind spending taxpayer dollars. 

The Pukes ambitious domestic, and international travel led to skyrocketing costs. His security detail racked up so much overtime that many have hit their annual salary caps of about $160,000.

The demands of providing 24-hour coverage even meant taking some investigators away from field work, such as when The Puke traveled to California for a family vacation.

The Puke has come under intense scrutiny for ethics issues and out sized spending.

Some highlights this far in his first 15 months in office:

Concerns were raised when The Puke gave massive raises to two of closest aides, and his rental of a Capitol Hill condo tied to a lobbyist who represents fossil fuel clients. He was only paying $50 a month for an apartment in Washington DC!

Despite everything noted above, Trump is resisting getting rid of him. The reason why is no secret.

No other Trump puppet has caused more damage to a government agency than The Puke has by carrying out Trump's agenda.

This latest salvo from the GAO, that The Puke HAS VIOLATED federal spending laws, is going to put Trump in an awkward place.

Just don't be surprised if he grants The Puke an instant pardon, and keeps his number one hit man!

Time for me to walk on down the road...

Fake News and Now Fake Photos in Trump Land


                                    Good Day World!

It's a mystery to me why Sarah Sanders posted a photo (above) on twitter of Trump getting briefed on Syria, with Mike Pence next to him.

To even the casual observer there was one problem with the photo of our supposedly hands-on president doing his job next to his loyal puppet Pence who was also somehow speaking at a public forum in Peru at about the same time of the strike.

Other viewers, like myself, thought that was odd.

Everyone knew Mike Pence was in Peru for a summit with Ivanka and Jared. How could he possible be next to our Liar-In-Chief hundreds of miles away?

A former ethics chief tweeted that our enemies should be afraid because we've obviously developed a teleportation device which Pence must have used!

The big question is why? Why lie?

What was the purpose of showing an old photo of Trump and staff supposedly discussing Syria?

Could it be that Trump was totally out of control during the attack, after the revelations came out about the raid on his personal lawyer's home, office, and apartment?

Because his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, decided to keep tapes of almost all of his conversations, Trump knew he was in deep shit.

Applying logic to this little mystery will only go so far. We know the photo was from last year's Syria strike.

Yesterday Sarah Sanders reluctantly amended her mistake while also defending it in the next breath. She reread the twitter statement verbatim, and just changed the day the photo was said to be taken on Friday - to Thursday.

She gave no explanation why, or how that could have happened. Her sullen demeanor was probably due to embarrassment because she was caught lying again for Donny.

For the record, Sarah could have been inspired by Trump's misleading photo last month that claimed work had already started on his vaunted wall. In fact, the photo showed repairs made to an existing fence.

Time To Make Your Predictions About This Coming Week

Good Day World!

What an exciting week we have to look forward to!

Pull up a chair, and have a jolt of Java with me, while we guess what the biggest news events will be this week.

I'm conflicted. There's so many berries to pick off the vine of political mayhem in Washington DC and abroad.

How about the one about Ivanka Trump who went to Peru in her daddy's place for the Summit of the America's?

Peruvian politicians weren't exactly thrilled that Trump wasn't attending the summit, but he assured them he'd send Vice President Pence instead.

Well, they got Pence, but they also got Ivanka and her idiot husband Jared Kushner too. Don't think for a moment that the Peruvians were happy with this arrangement.

I'm guessing it has something to do with the fact that Pence is a putz and nothing more than Trump's evil shadow. Then you have Ivanka.

She's such a low level member of Trump's staff that she doesn't even have a full security clearance, absolutely no true diplomatic experience, doesn't even speak Spanish, and wasn't confirmed by Congress as Secretary of State.

Couple all of that and Trump's racist feelings about Hispanics in general, and I think some feelings were hurt.

I'm just saying.

Moving on...

Remember Friday when the US conducted air strikes against Syria?

Trump's action was hotly debated within hours by his own administration, and Congress wasn't exactly happy that Trump bypassed them like bumps in the road, ignoring the law along the way.

Meanwhile Donny tweeted "Mission Accomplished" and Republicans recoiled with horror because of the negative association with that term first used by President Bush.

Memories of American casualties piling up long after Bush's declaration of victory in Iraq, have been painfully dredged up
by Trump's big mouth.

The term "Mission Accomplished" became a punch line, a telling indication of the administration's gross underestimation of the challenge posed by the conflict.

House staffers in the PR department claimed he was talking about some ship that was done with it's tour in the Gulf...yeah right!

Finally, we can't leave today without predicting the next bombshell to hit Trump in the Stormy case.

So far, we know that Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, had his offices, apartment and home raided by the FBI on a criminal warrant. 

Taken on the raid were audio recordings between Stormy's first lawyer and Cohen's, along with others, and personal emails, etc. It was a treasure trove of corruption.

What do you think will be the next big revelation about Trump's efforts to conceal his violations of campaign laws with the Stormy situation, and his collusion with Russia?

The winner will be rewarded with an honorary Political Forecaster Badge.

Trumpian Tales for an Alternative Universe

Good Day World!

"There's no chaos here," Trump assures his loyal puppets when addressing rumors that the Oval Office may soon see an explosion of Trumpian proportions.

"That stuff about Stormy Daniels and me is Fake News" - Trump.

Trump is such a compulsive liar that he denied making his "that makes me smart" comment the day he said it in front of a viewing audience of 80,000 people. 

Trump's ridiculous claims about the crowd size at his inauguration was a blatant attack on truth, so his puppets created an alternate world for Donny and his supporters.

In Trump's world the murder rate in our country is at its highest in 47 years. He asked one audience, during one of his campaign rallies, to back him up on the false claim "You know that right?

Numbers don't lie. Trump does. Despite the fact that numerous fact checkers have proven his claim untrue he remains unfazed. The color of the sky in his world is different than ours.

One of my favorite Trumpian tales is the one that occurred after his inauguration.

He claimed he got hit by drops of water - then resigned himself to a downpour - but suddenly (miraculously) the sun came out as he spoke!

Wow! Inspiring wasn't it?

Only in an alternative universe. The reality is it was raining (did you notice Melania with the umbrella?) on his inauguration day. The rain started about the time he spoke.

These are just a few of the tales Trump weaves. My upcoming book on the subject will hopefully be released in 2020.

It'll probably take me a year, or so, to finish my novel "1001 Trumpian Tales," but I expect it will be a best seller in the real world.

I also expect it'll be attacked in an alternate universe where Trump is the King, Pence is his Jester, and his loyal followers are his court.

Warning! Trump the Untamed Tyrant Set To Explode!

Good Day World!

I sense were teetering on a thin wire, that if cut, will unloose nukes across the world.

It'll be every sane person's nightmare. Here's what we have to fear:

The Trump factor.

With criminal investigations closing in on him, and a slew of other problems, Donny is untethered, and just like a cornered rat, he's lashing out viciously; and talking nuclear superiority with Vladimir Putin, Xi Jimping, and Kim-Jong un.

There's nothing Trump won't do to change the national conversation about his misdeeds. If that means starting a war...well, it's possible with someone unpredictable like him.

Now that he's added "Bomb 'em and ask questions later," John Bolton, to the Trump team, the chance of an itchy nuke finger pushing that button has increased.

I'm reminded of that 1964 movie, Dr. Strangelove: Or How I learned To Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb.

It was a great piece of political satire that easily segues into our current political joke of a president and his crazed staff.

The movie was about an unhinged US Air Force general -Jack D. Ripper - who orders a first strike nuclear attack on the Soviet Union.

The president and his staff try to stop that from happening. But the B-52 Bomber is locked into the mission. At the last moment there's a problem in the bomb bay.



Major T. J. "King" Kong enters the bomb bay and repairs the broken electric wiring, whereupon the doors open. With Kong straddling the bomb like a rodeo bull, it falls and detonates!

You might remember that iconic scene of Slim Pickens waving his cowboy hat and yelling "Wahoooo!" as the nuke plunges down.


Back to Trump and staff.

I can see our Secretary of Defense, General "Mad Dog" Mattis, playing the part of Jack D. Ripper.

I think ex-general John Kelly, whose now chief-of-staff, would be perfect for Slim Pickens part!

The only problem I'm having is what to do with Trump?

In the movie, the president wasn't a moron like him. He tried to stop that bombing from happening, unlike Donny, who I suspect would be delighted to deliver a nuke.

Here we are, over 50 years after Dr.Strangelove was considered political satire, living through a similar situation in the real world.

Time for me to walk on down the road...

Where Have All The Republicans Gone, Long Time Passing?


                                       Good Day World!

"Where have all the soldiers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the soldiers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the soldiers gone?
Gone to graveyards, everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn?"
- Peter, Paul and Mary

Today, I'm asking where are all the Republicans going?

Yesterday, another Congressional Republican announced he's retiring. So did Deputy National Security Chief, Nadia Schadlow, whose resigning.

Those two left just a day after House Majority Leader Paul Ryan dropped a bombshell and announced his departure; saying he's had enough, and wants to be with his family.

Florida (R) Rep. Dennis Ross decided not to run for another term, because he wanted to spend more time with his family too.

I'm starting to see a pattern here.

There's a couple of reasons why so many Republicans are retiring. History tells us that after a new president wins, their party usually doesn't fair well in the next election.

The other reason is Trump.

Seriously, who can stand working with a mean moron like Trump? He's shown he's against just about everything the traditional Republican Party stands for.

When can you remember the last time Republicans agreed to increase the national debt by over 1.2 trillion dollars? It goes against everything conservative Republicans believe.

The reason why is the traditional Republican Party has been shattered by the Trump Republicans, who are nothing more than puppets for our Liar-In-Chief.

Trump's supporters will follow him over a cliff if he asks them to. Don't be surprised if that happens soon for the remaining Republicans in Congress.

It's the season of the Trump, and real conservative lawmakers are feeling threatened.

And, well they should. Political pundits from both sides of the aisle are predicting a Blue Wave in the November midterm elections.

The Senate and the House are both up for grabs.

Across America, true conservatives are asking, "Where has the Republican Party gone?"

Time for me to walk on down the road...
