Above the fold

Ten Piece Nuggets

It has been a minute and a half since we dropped 10 in the grease.  Without further delay your order is below.

  1.  Michigan is a major battleground state in November.  Polls have it as a dead heat at this moment.  Who can get out the vote?  Michigan has a sizeable pro-Palestinian population.   One by one the chameleon Dems are turning their backs on Benjamin Netanyahu.  Yesterday it was teflon Nancy Pelosi who said he should step down.
  2. But, help is on the way.  The Senate quickly approved the bill that the House approved last week.  The foreign aid package consists of $61 billion in aid for Ukraine, roughly $26 billion in military assistance to Israel, $9 billion for humanitarian efforts in Gaza, and $8 billion to Taiwan and efforts to counter China’s threat in the Indo-Pacific.  None of that 9 bil for the Gaza area will fall into the hands of Hamas, will it?
  3. Former Speaker Paul Ryan praised Mike Johnson for collapsing and giving the Dems and Biden everything they asked.  Deep state work at its finest.  Do you know what time it is when former Speaker Ryan praises a current speaker?  It’s time to get a new speaker.
  4.  The University of Michigan, Columbia, and NYU(overrun with protests) are three universities that have put more time, effort, and money into creating a DEI community.  What the heck is going on?  The results suggest there is much more work to be done.  Or, not.
  5. The 2024 tuition for a full year at Columbia is 98k.  Yes, $98,000.  Yesterday they announced that, with all of the unrest, classes will be taught remotely until further notice.  In Bidenomics times the old dollar doesn’t stretch as far as it used to.
  6. If you are scoring at home five of eight Ivy League and 12 of 18 (as of this fall) Big Ten schools are listed by the Dept of Education as under investigation for antisemitism.  The old backwoods, prejudicial, racist, homophobic, misogynistic SEC schools come in last at 0 out of 16.
  7.  If this makes you feel unsafe(r) in NY leave the gun at home.  “Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom.  It doesn’t exist here.  So you can’t argue the Second Amendment.  This is NY.”  So said Judge Abena Arkeh, NY Criminal Courts, to a citizen who was arrested for assembling guns from legally purchased parts.  Justice is not blind.
  8.  Yesterday, Joe Biden hit another two out of the park.   Reading from teleprompter in an address Biden asked, “How many times does Trump have to prove that we can’t be trusted?”  The funniest part of it all is that the crowd of few roared.  Then, the man with thin hair stepped away and tried to shake hands with thin air.
  9.  Biden went to another whistle stop in Tampa, and claimed “I used to drive an 18-wheeler.”
  10.  And on a lighter but louder note, trillions of evolution’s bizarro wonders, red-eyed periodical cicadas that have pumps in their heads are about to emerge in numbers not seen in decades and possibly centuries.  Call it cicada-geddon.  Get some earplugs South Carolina.

Happy Hump Day.

Engage. Enrage. Enjoy.

  • Let’s talk a minute about the antisemitism being spewed like your favorite scene on Ghostbusters 1. I think we all remember that slime when we look at any members of the squad. Especially Rashida Tlaib of Michigan. Funny how that all works in the name of tyranny. But I shall not digress and get into weed smoking.

    Yes, weed smoking must be the cause of these students igniting the hate. After all, I’m told that today’s cannabis is 100 times stronger than the peaceful variety shared at Woodstock or at Kent State for that matter. What we really need is a mediation summit led by Cheech and Chong.

    You can see it now, Gummies for all. Mellow out. The only war should be a band from the east side of LA. Take a chill pill and seek the higher ground.

    And if they don’t? Get the fire hoses out like they do in Germany and wash away the stupid bastards.

    • Boy, so well said.

      Tlaib has Biden over a Grand Rapids barrel.

      A few of us are ready for the fire hoses. It’s time.

  • The big question. In 4 years when these drop outs can’t pay the student loans will be BAIL THEM OUT, That’s F stupid BUT. We have a president who is not the sharpest spoon ,
