Maybe

Posted on by boom booms room staff

Whether you only watch CNN in airports while waiting for a DEI-piloted plane, or if you watch them daily, most can agree that the network leans left.

So, when they presented their latest polling data five months before the Nov 2024 elections you can understand the apoplexy.

What was already known is that Biden is fatigued.  But what was discovered is that the Black Community might be increasingly fatigued with Biden.

If we aren’t supposed to see color why do we still recognize communities by color of skin?  We digress.

The CNN poll shows Biden with a 70% to 21% lead over Trump in 2024 with “likely Black voters” currently.  Sounds pretty good for the Dems?

Not so fast.  At the same time in 2020, Biden held an 86% to 7% margin.

If the 70-21 margin held on the actual ballots cast this fall it would be a six-decade low of African Americans supporting the Democratic candidate.  CNN Senior Data Reporter Harry Enten called it “a historic performance in the making” that “leaves me speechless.”

But he went on talking anyway.

When you look at Blacks 50 and older Biden holds an 74 point advantage over Trump down from 83 points in 2020.

But the under-50-year-old lead in 2024 plummets.  The advantage for this age group shrivels from +80 to +37.  In other words, only one-half as many “young uns” favor Biden four years later.  That’s a yuge change as one would say.

Harry shrieked, “The Blacks are leaving Biden in droves.”

The age-old political line is, “Ask yourself if you are better off than you were four years ago.”

For blacks should it be, “Ask yourself if you are better off than 60 years ago?”  While the answer is likely yes, is that gap still far too wide in their minds?

Trump asked Blacks in 2016 to vote for him.  He even uttered, “You’ve been voting one way forever, what have you got to lose?”  Political pundits panned the pandering labeling it racist.  Don’t they always?

But, perhaps unlike the glove the shoe might fit.

Does Biden need to go to the black church of his choice more often?  Maybe student debt forgiveness isn’t enough to buy a vote.  Ten thousand to first-time homeowners isn’t either.

How about a half-black female VP?  Maybe a black female Supreme Court Justice isn’t.

Maybe the historic first black female lesbian Press Secretary won’t get it.  You’ve seen Karine Jean Claude Pepe Le Phew Van Dame Pierre wax eloquently from the podium, haven’t you?

Maybe if we stopped calling “them” the Black Community and realized that interest rates, crime, inflation, wild spending, and illegal immigration impact us all negatively we’d progress.

Maybe CNN is fair and balanced after all.

Maybe.

What have we got to lose?

Everything.

 

 

The Sporting World

Posted on by boom booms room staff

As the Father’s Day grill heated up poolside so did the action on four TVs.   Four TVs and a pool.   Is that white privilege?  We’re asking for a neighbor.

The WNBA’s Indiana Fever vs. the Chicago Sky occupied one, the USGA US Open a second, the FSU vs. Virginia elimination College World Series game a third, and the former cheaters and now mediocre hometown Houston Astros were hosting the Detroit Tigers on the last one.

Caitlin Clark felt the privilege of being white on the side of her noggin midway through the second half.  Angel Reese, aka the Bayou Barbie, knocked her upside her head on a trip to the bucket and was charged with a flagrant foul.

It wasn’t Clark’s first hard knocks lesson on her rookie journey and it won’t be her last.  The WNBA’s biggest problems were 1)no one watches, and 2) it’s a $50 million a year cash drain on the NBA, never coming close to turning a profit.

Now its biggest problem is people are interested in Clark and the league’s players are interested in keeping her down.  Do blacks and black lesbians sense white privilege from this new straight star?  The political atmosphere of dividing us to conquer might have the answer to that.

Some players said last week that they wanted profit-sharing like their big brothers have in the NBA.  With this increased attendance and viewership, the league is still expected to lose $25 million.

Be careful what you wish for.  “Nothing from nothing leaves nothing,” Billy Preston once sang.

Meanwhile, Bryson DeChambeau, of LIV fame, won the Open over PGA stalwart and player spokesperson Rory McIlroy and his two missed short putts.  The golf world is seriously fractured as very rich LIV golfers make more money playing far less than rich PGA players.  Privilege personified.

It’s so petty in that world that 2023 US Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson chose his PGA buddy Justin Thomas over a LIVid DeChambeau last fall for the team.  The US was all but eliminated on day one last October.

Thomas was in and remains in the worst slump of his career.  The unconventional DeChambeau’s stock was and is soaring.   DeChambeau finished at -6 yesterday while Thomas missed the cut carding a two-round total of +11.

Meanwhile, the CWS has a bit of NIL and transfers to deal with nearly daily.   Still, its relative innocence, camaraderie, and imperfections make one yearn for simpler times and purer competition.   Watching 30 FSU dudes fly over the dugout railing to congratulate a teammate after a knock is refreshing.   Have a few Jell-o shots and enjoy the Omaha scene.

The once invincible Astros are now very ordinary.  The interest pales in comparison to the above.

Remember when the cheating scandal was front page news while the WNBA wasn’t, LIV wasn’t, and NIL wasn’t?

The sound of that trash can-turned drum is but a distant echo.

Maybe it wasn’t so bad way back when.

 

 

 

Lapdogs and Laptops

Posted on by boom booms room staff

The sound caused by the gavel bang still resonating in the Delaware courtroom was just slightly louder than the words still ringing in the ears of those present after the jury foreperson spoke yesterday.

Guilty! Guilty!  Guilty!

Three felonious convictions were the verdicts for Hunter Biden on the illegal purchase and ownership of a handgun while addicted to drugs.

That’s impressive in a bad way but falls far short of 34 guilty verdicts for Donald Trump several days ago for what no one knows.

Hunter stood tall and took his medicine like a man the lapdog media said.  Trump, on the other hand, acted like a petulant child crying wee, wee, wee all the way back to Mar-a-Lago.

We’re in rarified air this election cycle.  If you’re scoring at home we have a convicted former president running for office against a sitting president whose son is now a convicted felon as well.

And, you have credible allegations that the sitting one and his family profited greatly by the son’s “job” of extracting foreign money for peddling the influence of one Joseph Biden, aka “the big guy.”

Many folks say there is plenty of evidence of that and other crimes on the infamous Hunter Biden laptop dropped off for repair but never picked up.  Others, 51 in all from various intel agencies that you pay for, signed an official US document that the Hunter laptop was Russian disinformation.

The wheels of justice grind slowly especially when the DOJ is in play.

Never mind that Joe Biden’s daughter, and Hunter’s sister, wrote in her diary that she remembers her father taking inappropriate showers with her when she was 10 years old.  “She must be believed!” went out of style when #metoo boomeranged.

If Trump wins the possibility that he goes scorched earth in DC and brings down the long arm of the law or “lawfare” on many hiding in the swamp is very real.  He’s playing with house money in term two.  And, he may utter, “You’re fired,” a time or 50.

If incumbent Biden wins the probability of him pardoning his son Hunter is great. He’s playing with house money in term two.  If Biden loses, he could issue the pardon on his way out of the White House door.

And maybe he should.  After all, in a 2019 interview with CNN, Biden said about his son, “He’s the most honorable and decent person I know.”

Joe, the black church-going Irishman must hang out with a tough crowd, though likely not as tough as the one that ate his uncle.

Can’t everyone grow up?  Well, that’s a problem too.

Biden is 81 and too often acts like he’s 95.

Trump is 77 and too often acts like he’s 5.

The choice is yours………………….. unless Fulton County gets involved again.

 

 

 

Five Months Out

Posted on by boom booms room staff

Today the race for the White House hits the five-month out marker.  Both campaigns are revving up their political engines.  The tactics from the incumbent side seem to be evolving.

The fellow that many would like to see convicted seems more interested in attacking the “convicted felon” than he is running on his record.  Is that because he hasn’t accomplished enough, or because polling data suggests that the American people think he hasn’t?  Or, is it both?

About this time last year, the Biden campaign rolled out “Bidenomics” like a new car intro.  POTUS and VPOTUS touted job growth, wage expansion, GDP, and falling inflation.  America wasn’t buying it.  Even a lapdog media couldn’t sell this Edsel.

Undeterred, they pivoted to “it’s there,” but it takes time to “feel it,” they said.  The problem for them is that America does feel it and it’s a negative feeling.

The cumulative effect of three years of high inflation is felt at the grocery cash register, the gas pump, and the mortgage loan office.  Wages are up but aren’t keeping up.

Bidenomics is a buzzword that went south.

Speaking of going south, for three years we’ve heard that the border was under control as best as it could be because of the mess he inherited from Trump.

Then this past winter Biden wanted to forge ahead with a deal that he pulled out of the top drawer with Congress to “control” the border. That’s known as a flip-flop.  A bipartisan agreement is the only way to fix it he said.  The bill was a one-sided con to legalize illegal crossings.

Yesterday, he signed an executive action to do what he said he needed Republicans to come along to get done.  But it doesn’t get anything done except pave the road for 1.8 million illegals to continue to cross yearly.

The border is a sieve.

They tried but failed to pin the border mess on the Republicans.

What are the most important issues per polling for Americans this fall?  The economy is one and immigration is two.  Rut roh.

The list continues with crime, abortion, debt, medical care costs, etc.

Only on abortion does Biden’s position outpoll Trump’s. But make no mistake, it is an important one and one that Trump should tackle head-on for clarity of his position.  It only polls somewhat low because women place it way higher than men.  Women are half of the total votes cast.

Looks like it’s time to ramp up the “it’s a fight for our very democracy” battle cry.  This comes from an administration that has weaponized the DOJ to take down opposing views.

Then comes a good dose of racist claims.  The Dems can pander like no other.

Sprinkle in “convicted felon” at each mile marker.  Do you want a “convicted felon” in the White House?

The race to the bottom heats up faster than climate change this time of the year.

Oh, it’s summer?

 

 

 

 

The Show Goes On and On

Posted on by boom booms room staff

In 1980 Robert De Niro starred in the box office hit and critically acclaimed Raging Bull.  In 1998 the film critic website Rotten Tomatoes reviewed the movie.

The review’s first sentence proclaims “The film is a complex portrait of a man consumed by his rage, jealousy, and paranoia.”

The film grossed 23.4 million box office bucks.  That’s roughly the same cost of taking a family to the cinema today, but we digress.

It’s odd that a movie is reviewed 18 years after it debuted.   It’s also odd that the now 80-year-old actor took his unfettered rage, perhaps jealousy, and certain paranoia to the streets of New York yesterday.

He arrived wearing an N95 mask, but quickly dispatched it as he must have sensed everyone within social distance guidelines was as healthy as he is.  We digress again.

With the cameras rolling across the street from the latest Trump trial, De Niro stuck to his script until he didn’t.

The Raging Bull Himself

After calling Trump a clown, he bellowed, “I love this city. I don’t want to destroy it. Donald Trump wants to destroy not only the city but the country, and eventually he can destroy the world.”

“I don’t mean to scare you. No, no, wait — maybe I do mean to scare you,” De Niro continued. “If Trump returns to the White House, you can kiss these freedoms goodbye that we all take for granted. And elections — forget about it. That’s over; that’s done. If he gets in, I can tell you right now, he will never leave.”

Sounds ominous.

This was a planned event by the Biden campaign who previously ensured that they were keeping their distance from Trump’s trials to avoid the appearance that they were in any way politically motivated.

This ended that.

A top Biden adviser said they weren’t there to talk about the trial but rather to exploit the large media focus on the legal proceedings.

Isn’t the omnipresent media available for any president to “exploit?”  All Biden needs to do is call for a presser anytime and anywhere and the exploitation can begin.

“We’re not here today because of what’s going on over there,” Biden campaign communication director Michael Tyler told reporters, gesturing toward the courthouse. “We’re here today because you all are here.”

Truer words were always spoken.

Trump may be a clown, but the Biden/De Niro move was a circus outside a court filled with jesters.

And the Trump campaign shot back.  Karoline Leavitt, the Trump campaign’s press secretary, called the Biden campaign “desperate and failing” and “pathetic” and said its event outside the trial was “a full-blown concession that this trial is a witch hunt that comes from the top.”

This “witch hunt” trial goes to the jury deliberation phase today.  Can Trump “the Clown” avert a verdict that will stop the show before the next three rings are placed under the tent? That one is the Mar A Lago classified documents case.  Or, will Fani and her lover boy try to get the tour to stop back in Atlanta?

A guilty verdict could put the man with orange hair in an orange jumpsuit.

It could also ensure his return to the White House.

If that happens De Niro said he was moving to Mars.

That’s better than Uranus.

 

 

Amtrak Conductor Cures COVID in Detroit in 2017

Posted on by boom booms room staff

As Donald Trump tries to stay out of jail, Prez Biden is burning up the campaign trail.

Monday, the White House issued nine corrections to his speech to the NAACP delivered Sunday.  This was only a day after he lit up like Sherman and nearly burned down Atlanta while speaking at HBCU Morehouse College.

“When I was vice president, things were kind of bad during the pandemic and what happened was, Barack said to me, ‘Go to Detroit! Help fix it,’” Biden said in the first minute he was at the podium.

We have questions. Did someone write this for him?  Doubtful.  Did he decide to ad-lib this?  Probable.

We have more questions.  Does he believe what he said?  Does he know what he said?  If you asked him today, would he remember what he said?

There was no COVID until years after Biden left the VP position.  And, Barack didn’t ask him to go to Detroit to fix COVID, though the way Biden spit out the two consecutive sentences you could infer that.

In the middle of COVID Biden would have been teaching at the University of Pennsylvania.  Or, at least he would tell you that he was.

He was likely bragging about a trip there to address the struggling auto industry way back when.

Speaking of way back when, are you old enough to remember when the fair and balanced press referred to Biden’s consistent foot-in-the-mouth problems as an “occasional gaffe?”

These lies are now coming faster than the climate crisis.  So is everything else for that matter, but we digress.

Whether Joe is in charge or is a prop isn’t worth the debate.  And, with the way they’re watered down the Presidential Debate makes it not worth it either.  But, you can see why they will as this circus now performs daily.

Meanwhile.

Yesterday, Biden asked for bids on 100 million barrels of US strategic oil by May 28 to be released by June 15th.  It’s time to hold down the price of July 4th car travel.  Capitalism meets government manipulation.  Buying a few votes never hurts.

Also yesterday we learned that the US will spend 9k this year per illegal alien to house, transport, and feed him.  This is the same that the US spends per Medicare patient per year from your previously taxed income.  From your pocket to theirs, national debt be dammed.   Buying a few future votes never hurts.

Only Biden’s doctor knows how doctored up he will be to continue this farce.

Close your eyes and picture Biden’s mental and physical health in, say 2027.

Trump should be finished with his court cases by then.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Put Em Up!

Posted on by boom booms room staff

Growing up in Scranton, PA Smokin’ Joe Biden was quite the pugilist.

He won the high school state title as a middleweight seven times while only able to train on Saturdays.  Why?  Well, speaking of trains, on Monday through Friday he conducted Amtrack trains after school when he wasn’t driving an eighteen-wheeler

Sundays were reserved for giving thanks to the other “big guy” at the black church of his choosing.

And, he’s still got plenty of fight left in him.

In the last few days, Harry Callahan Biden responded to Donald J Trump’s call for a debate by one-upping him and asking for two in a heavily edited social media post. “Well, make my day pal.  I’ll even do it twice.  Let’s pick the dates.”

But, before Joe climbs into the ring his corner has a few demands.

First, they want the debates in June and September before early voting begins.  Get the vote out early and often.

Second, RFK Jr. is not invited.  Polls show in a three-way race that Jr. takes away many more votes from boxer Biden than Trump.

Third, Trump’s microphone must be silenced when Biden is speaking.   In other words, they want no counterpunching that could throw him off of his rehearsed game plan.  Trump should ask the same for the moderators, who were anything but moderate four years ago.

And, finally, there can be no live audience in attendance.  Trump is a bit of a showman, like Muhammad Ali, in front of a crowd.

CNN gets the first heavyweight battle, while ABC hosts the second one.  It’s an uphill fight as both rings lean to the left.

Trump, his team, and his ego have agreed to all the above.  Why? Ego.

Trump thinks he wins even when he loses.  He’s still demanding a recount after taking a standing eight count in 2020.

Smokin’ Joe’s schedule these days isn’t nearly as busy as it was in his formative years.  His day job is only a four-day workweek.  He’ll train every Friday through Sunday at his boxing camp in Delaware and any day his team calls a lid when he is in the White House.

Hopefully, Joe watches his step on his way into the ring.

You can almost hear Howard Cosell.   “DOWN GOES BIDEN!  Down Goes Biden!”

Get your peanuts!

 

 

 

Has? Or, How Has?

Posted on by boom booms room staff

Is the question, “Has America failed today’s youth?”  Or, is the question, “How has America failed today’s youth?”

It starts in the home.

The percentage of two-parent households has fallen significantly in the last half-century.  Between 1970 and 2022 the percentage of white children living with two decreased from 90 to 77%, Hispanics from 77 to 67%, and blacks from 59 to 42%.

Aren’t the ages from birth to five the most formative years?  More single-parent homes mean more daycare or preschool.  Isn’t a parent more attentive to their child than a daycare worker is to a multiple of them?

Many more families need two breadwinners to provide enough income to stay afloat.  This means more children head to daycare or preschool as well.

And, now two handfuls of states have rushed legislation to ensure the child’s right to decide which gender they want to be when they grow up.  Hormone blockers and gender reassignment follow, perhaps?

Video games lead to isolation.  Isolation leads to the internet.  The internet leads to social media where all hell really can break loose.

The need to belong is innate.  It raises self-esteem.  If you sit in the basement what do you belong to?

In 2020 and 2021 we decided that the only way to protect children from that deadly virus was to keep them out of school.  Decades back parents rushed kids to school to get sick to bolster their immune systems.  Further isolation for two years (think ages 12-14 for example) is bad for multiple age groups.

What do you study when you get to college?  Whatever you want.  But before you get there, you must excel at one or more standardized tests to prove your worth.  Well, you used to.

Now these pesky competence tests are biased, racist, or deemed out of step.  Remember, everyone gets a participation ribbon.  DEI folks step to the front.

If you are still looking for a cause, dye your hair half-blue and pick up a pro-Palestinian/Hamas/Antifa sign at your convenience.  It’s a cause to get behind if you feel oppressed.  Never mind that you are protesting for oppression.

Professors(read as teachers that hide in school basements) will give you an A after skipping finals if you feel terrorized by police coming to campus to take back what you took that doesn’t belong to you.

Everyone graduates!  Ask Oprah.

That mostly worthless degree in anthropology, art history, philosophy, or ethnic and civilization studies can send you back to your bedroom at your mom’s house. With the school administrator-to-student ratio at nearly one-to-one on campuses such as Harvard, Stanford, and Columbia(to name but a few) you’d think they would steer you towards something that would pay to have studied.

What did the degree cost?   More than ever, just like the administrators.

Can’t pay for your student loan? Uncle Joe the former 18-wheeler driver, Amtrak conductor, and Penn Professor, whose Uncle 2nd Lt. Ambrose J. Finnegan Jr. was consumed by cannibals, will transfer your debt obligation back to the government after he returns to the White House from the black church he regularly attends.

Is Joe Biden an enabler or a buyer of votes?  Both?

See a shrink.  They love half-dyed hair and nose rings.  After all, nose ring rhymes with cha-ching!

They’ll tell you that the American dream is still attainable.

Don’t worry about that 7% mortgage interest rate, you won’t qualify.

Upon further review, “It’s how.”

 

 

 

Thank You Sir! May I Have Another?

Posted on by boom booms room staff

Once achieved a masterpiece is best left as the only one.  Those who signed up for Caddyshack II can readily attest to that.

But, the young are unimpressed.  They’re auditioning on college campuses across the land for roles in Animal House II.

The would-be actors are smart we assume, but too dumb to know any better.

Those at Columbia University, not Columbia Pictures, reached new theatrical lows yesterday.  Playing the role of persecuted Palestinians while studying for finals and paying 96k a year for the privelege requires balance.  They tried.

But, Dean Wormer was watching back in 1978.  He admonished the Delta House leadership, “Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way of going through life.”  Then he placed them on “double secret probation” threatening to kick them off campus altogether.

So, when the bad actors took over Hamilton Hall late Tuesday night Columbia’s leadership(a great example of an oxymoron) did a double take.

By midday out from the occupation of the hallowed hall emerged PhD student Johannah King-Slutzky(yes that’s her name) with an urgent request.  The oppressed within the structure needed food and water.  “Does Columbia want its students facing hunger and dehydration?” she postured.

Does that sound like a five-year-old screaming for more pizza rolls?

It’s a Hamas thing to attack something and then demand humanitarian aid while making zero concessions.

Slutzky is no Bluto Blutarsky.  Her biography states she is “working on her dissertation of fantasies of limitless energy of the transatlantic Romantic imagination from 1760-1860.  My goal is to write a prehistory of the metabolic rift, Marx’s term for the disruption of energy circuits caused by industrialization under capitalism.”

But they are similar.  Blutarsky, realizing the end was near bemoaned, “Christ. Seven years of college down the drain. Might as well join the f**king Peace Corps.”

You’ll be paying Slutzky’s student loan back soon.

By nightfall the occupied space became occupied by NY’s finest and then unoccupied.  The city of CHAZ in the summer of love lasted longer.

One student, seconds from being cuffed and stuffed screamed, “We have finals this week.  Can’t we go home?”  Hopefully, when booked into the jail he/she was not misgendered.

Otter uttered, “I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.”

Mission accomplished.

Before Columbia, Slutzky, in her own words, worked as a political strategist for leftist and progressive causes and remains active in the higher education labor movement.  Ah, now we’re getting somewhere.

Thomas Sowell opined, “We seem to be getting closer and closer to a situation where nobody is responsible for what they did but we are all responsible for what somebody else did.”

Bluto had sage words for us nearly 50 years ago.  “My advice to you is that we all start drinking heavily.”

 

 

 

 

Ten Piece Nuggets

Posted on by boom booms room staff

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.
