“Weaken America First” is the Democrats’ Goal

According to Newt Gingrich, former Congressman from Georgia, and Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995-1999, for Fox News, “Biden, Democrats make every decision based on how it impacts America and always chose what hurts the most.”

“When Sean Hannity asked me why President Joe Biden would favor buying oil and gas from Venezuela over producing oil and gas in Texas, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, Louisiana or North Dakota, something clicked in my thinking.”

Something “clicked” for me as well, although for me it “clicked” a couple of years ago. So, welcome to the party Newt, although you’re quite late.

My prior thinking was that democrats were misguided, foolish, and/or stupid, but then I came to realize the democrats’ (at least the ruling class of democrats) anti-America actions were calculated and evil, while the majority of their followers were misguided, foolish, and/or stupid, although we all know that ignorance is no excuse in the end.

Newt continues, “I was reminded of the amazing speech United Nations Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick gave at the 1984 Republican Convention, when she described the ‘blame-America-first Democrats.’”

“I suddenly realized the common thread of Biden administration policies at home and abroad is to weaken America.”

Ya think, Newt?!

Is this why it seems the republicans are always a day late and a dollar short?

“Think about the administration’s range of choices and ask yourself: Which ones would strengthen America, and which ones would weaken it?”

“In Afghanistan, Biden could have followed the advice of [some of] the professional military and withdrawn in a calm and orderly manner. This would have led to no loss of life, no abandonment of equipment, and no sense of humiliating failure. It would have made America stronger.”

“Instead, the Biden administration overruled the military, abandoned billions in equipment, fled Afghanistan in chaos [and humiliation], sacrificed 13 young Americans [soldiers], and abandoned thousands of Americans and tens of thousands of our allies. He chose to weaken America.”

Biden and his administration were then allowed to lie and deny the whole thing, without being held accountable by the fake news media.

“The Biden team could side with the demonstrators in Iran and China who are trying to overthrow dictatorships. Instead, it has made a series of weak, border-line pathetic comments. A strong America would reach out to people striving to be free. A weak America [led by a bought and paid for Joe Biden] kowtows to Xi Jinping and the Chinese communist dictatorship and grovels to the ayatollah and the Iranian tyranny, no matter how much they work against us. Once again, weakening America and strengthening our enemies is the Biden [and the democrats’] model.”

“If the United States had sustained [maintained] [its] energy independence, we would be strengthening our European allies with liquid natural gas. They could ignore Russia’s economic blackmail. A strong America would do just that. Instead, the Biden administration is pleading with the crown prince of Saudi Arabia and exonerating him from the killing of a journalist. All of Biden’s earlier tough language about Saudi Arabia being a ‘pariah state’ has dissolved. All that is left is Biden’s whimpering plea for more Saudi oil to make up for the American oil he has blocked. Again, America is weaker.”

Again, while Biden and his administration were then allowed to lie, deny, spread disinformation about the whole thing, without being held accountable by the fake news media.

“As I mentioned, Kirkpatrick was the first to clearly identify the decay of the Democrats away from strength and realism toward weakness and fantasies. Her 1984 speech captured the trajectory of madness and destruction onto which the Democrats had embarked.”

That’s close to 40 years ago already, and the democrats definitely are living in some sort of sick “fantasy” world.

“She noted that the Democrats at that time had clearly broken from the patriotic traditions of Democrat Presidents Harry Truman, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Johnson and were on a new, more destructive path. She continued: ‘They said that saving Grenada from terror and totalitarianism was the wrong thing to do, they didn’t blame Cuba or the communists for threatening American students and murdering Grenadians, they blamed the United States instead.’”

“When our Marines, sent to Lebanon on a multinational peacekeeping mission with the consent of the United States Congress, were murdered in their sleep, the ‘blame America first crowd’ didn’t blame the terrorists who murdered the Marines, they blamed the United States.”

“When the Soviet Union walked out of arms control negotiations, and refused even to discuss the issues, the San Francisco Democrats didn’t blame Soviet intransigence. They blamed the United States.”

“When Marxist dictators shoot their way to power in Central America, the San Francisco Democrats don’t blame the guerrillas and their Soviet allies, they blame United States policies…”

“In the last 38 years, ‘blame America first’ has metastasized into ‘weaken America first.’”

“The patriotic courage of Presidents Truman, Kennedy and Johnson has mutated into a steadily weaker and more pathetic foreign and national security policy. It began with President Jimmy Carter and grew steadily worse with Presidents Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Biden.”

Newt’s perspective here is more of an historic one, and one from a world view.

My perspective here is more one of current affairs and current democrat policies, such as:

The promotion of criminal behavior, and the allowance of crime against law-abiding individuals and businesses.

The promotion of and the allowance of illegal immigrants crossing into our country on our southern border.

The promotion of and the allowance of the Mexican drug cartels to carry out their drug trafficking and human trafficking operations.

The creation of record high inflation, and the disinformation and denial of this record inflation.

The systematic destruction of our country’s history.

The promotion of pedophilia as an acceptable life style, and the federal protection of those involved in this lifestyle, regarding Epstein’s client list for example.

The promotion of aborting babies at any time, even after birth!

The weaponization of the DOJ and the FBI against any citizen who dares to disagree with the democrats’ stated goals and narratives.

The attack on fossil fuel production in our country, even though fossil fuels still provide 90-95% of the energy our country requires.

The promotion of Climate Change as a world-ending, human created, problem, and the promotion of Green New Deal policies and laws that would supposedly have some type of positive effect on this supposed problem.

The promotion of pandemic policies, vaccines, and mandates, which had no basis in science, but rather were all politically driven, with no consideration of the well-being of the American people, or the people of the world for that matter.

The coordinated assault on our election systems and procedures.

The degradation of our education system, and the promotion of liberal narrative indoctrination.

Their attacks on our Constitution, particularly the 1^st and 2^nd amendments.

It would seem the democrats certainly have left no stone unturned in their attack on our great country!

I agree with Newt when he says, “Today, the most reliable predictor of Biden administration (or Democrat Party) policy is whether it will strengthen or weaken America. If it will strengthen America, they almost certainly will not do it. If it will weaken America, they almost certainly will.”

There can be no doubt that “Weaken America First” is the Democrats’ Goal.

Just to recap:

“Meme” is pronounced [MEEM], and rhymes with “seem,” if you’re not already familiar with the term.

A “meme” is a humorous image, some less humorous these days, that is copied and enhanced (often with the addition of a message, joke, or saying) and spread rapidly by Internet users.

Now, without any further adieu…, let’s bring on the memes!

Enjoy.

Well, that’s all for now folks.

I hope you enjoyed my latest collection of memes!

Where you won’t find Afghan Refugees.

These are places in the United States where you won’t find Afghan refugees, or illegal immigrants of any kind, for that matter, who came over our southern border and were then shipped (viruses and all) all over the country, courtesy of the Biden administration.

These places all have some things in common…, they are all favorite hangouts or getaways for democrats…, affluent democrats…, very affluent democrats.

Oh, and by the way…, you won’t see any of those green windmills obstructing their views in these places either.

So…, these rich democrats beat everyone else over the head if they don’t want to welcome these refugees and illegal immigrants into their communities, but these same affluent democrats aren’t leading by example either. Another prime example of “do as I say, not as I do.”

You won’t find these unfortunate people being relocated to:

The Hamptons in New York State, living anywhere near Alec Baldwin, Robert De Niro, Katie Couric, Anderson Cooper, Gwyneth Paltrow, or the Clintons, just to name a few.

Vail, Colorado.

Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, living anywhere near the Obamas, the Clintons, David Letterman, Chelsea Handler, or Rosie O’Donnell, just to name a few.

Palm Springs, California.

Aspen, Colorado, known as “mini Hollywood” or “Hollywood East.”

Newport, Rhode Island.

Nantucket, Massachusetts.

And last but not least, Malibu, California.

You also won’t find these people being relocated to our “President’s” place of residence, Wilmington, Delaware, or the state of Delaware for that matter.

You won’t find these people being relocated to the affluent neighborhoods where all of the Washington bureaucrats live either.

“What’s good for thee may not be good for me.”

It’s a two-tiered consideration system to go right along with their two-tiered justice system.

Maybe we could ship some refugees to Pedophile Island? At least the young girls!

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

Which way did the Taliban go, George? Which way did the Taliban go?

The Taliban went straight to Kabul, George!

The level of the democrats’ incompetence here is impressive.

And the cast of these historic incompetents is long and very unimpressive.

We, of course, have to start with “President” Biden.

Otherwise known as “President Sippy Cup,” “Cognatively Challenged Joe,” and “Sleepy Joe.”

Then we have his VP, “Cackling” Kamala Harris.

No topic is too serious for her to laugh at.

Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense.

His picture appears next to “turd” in the dictionary.

General Mark Milley, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Just another shining example of how high an incompetent fool can rise in the democrat ranks.

Jen Psaki, the White House Press Secretary.

And I thought Obama’s press secretaries were the epitome of disingenuousness and hypocrisy.

John Kirby, the Department of Defense Press Secretary.

If Kirby was a republican, he’d have been ripped to shreds by now by the fake news propaganda media.

Antony Blinken, the Secretary of State.

The only person who could make you long for the days of Hillary Clinton.

And, Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor.

The “Doogie Howser” of National security. A theoretical master of a foreign policy fantasy world.

Here’s my list of applicable synonyms for this group of historically epic losers:

INCOMPETENT

PATHETIC

INEPT

PITIFUL

DESPICABLE

CONEMPTABLE

DISHONEST

CORRUPT

And finally, TREASONOUS, TRAITOROUS and IMPEACHABLE.

These people and their “experts” all believed the Taliban was 90 days, or more, away from threatening Kabul’s stability.

It took the Taliban 3 days to control all of Afghanistan and Kabul.

The whole process of exiting Afghanistan has been epically bungled, and our country has now been put at the mercy of the Taliban, by Biden and his team of bungling fools.

Day-o, daaaaay-o

Daylight come and me wan’ go home.

Day, me say day, me say day, me say daaaaay-o

Daylight come and me wan’ go home!

Come, mister Taliban, tally me Americanas

Deadline come and me wan’ go home.

Come, mister Taliban, tally me the time remaining

Deadline come and me wan’ go home!

We were forced to leave in such a hurry that we left the Taliban with $80 billion worth of weaponry as a parting gift.

This disastrous foreign policy failure, by the democrats, will go down in history as the most tragic, the most shameful, and the most embarrassing event in our country’s history…, while they try to spin it as some sort of a perverted success.

Like I said…, TREASONOUS, TRAITOROUS and IMPEACHABLE.

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

With “friends” like these, who needs enemies?!

The “republican” leader in the senate, Mitch McConnell, was among 19 Republicans to vote for the “infrastructure” bill. Let’s take a look at him and the other “republicans” who helped it over the finish line.

Rick Rouan for USA TODAY reports that, “A group of 19 Senate Republicans, led by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, joined the entire Democratic caucus in passing a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package on Tuesday.”

“The bill passed with a vote of 69-30, more than two weeks after President Joe Biden declared ‘we have a deal’ with a bipartisan group of negotiators.”

A bipartisan group of sell-outs more like.

So, what’s in the “infrastructure” bill?

According to CNN, “The Republican National Committee has claimed, “Joe Biden’s ‘infrastructure’ plan is not really about infrastructure, it is another multi-trillion dollar far left wish list.”

“According to the GOP, ‘Only 7% of the bill’s spending is for what Americans traditionally think of as infrastructure.’”

“Under their ‘traditional’ definition of infrastructure, the GOP limits what counts as infrastructure spending to include the $115 billion the plan allocates for modernizing highways, roads and main streets, $25 billion to airports and $17 billion for inland waterways, ports and ferries.”

Well, that accounts for the $.2 part of the $1.2 trillion. Hardly enough to warrant this bill being called the “infrastructure” bill.

Even with the democrats’ liberal definition of “infrastructure” (pun intended), “infrastructure” still only accounts for about 30% of the spending in the bill.

Why do the democrats have to be so consistently deceitful and disingenuous?

Why are “traditional” definitions not good enough anymore?

The simple answer is, they have to change the playing field when they know they aren’t capable of winning if they are forced to play by the accepted rules.

Rick Rouan, for USA TODAY, continues, “Biden said after the vote on Tuesday that he called most of the 19 Republican senators who voted for the infrastructure bill to praise them.”

Ugh.

‘”You have, and no doubt you will, disagree with me on many issues. But where we can agree, we should,’ he [Biden] said. ‘And here on this bill, we proved that we can still come together to do big things, important things, for the American people.’”

It seems you’re getting better at reading your teleprompter coherently, Illegitimate Joe!

Did these “republicans” actually read the “infrastructure” bill?

If so, whose side are they on, anyway?

Which Senate Republicans voted for the infrastructure deal?

Roy Blunt, R-Mo.

Richard Burr, R-N.C.

Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va.

Bill Cassidy, R-La.

Susan Collins, R-Maine

Kevin Cramer, R-N.D.

Mike Crapo, R-Idaho

Deb Fischer, R-Neb.

Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa

John Hoeven, R-N.D.

Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska

Rob Portman, R-Ohio

James E. Risch, R-Idaho

Mitt Romney, R-Utah

Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska

Thom Tillis, R-N.C.

Roger F. Wicker, R-Miss.

Remember these names.

I can understand the list of the usual RINOs [Republicans In Name Only]: Murkowski, Romney, and Collins…, but what about the rest? Especially Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham?!

Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham?!!!!!!!

To put this in perspective, that would be like Chuck Schumer voting to support former President Trump’s infrastructure proposal.

And that would be a cold day in hell.

Apparently, the republicans don’t need to wait for cold day in hell. These “republicans” were willing to jump right into the fire with this deal with the devil.

Again, with “friends” like these, who needs enemies?!

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

Brett Favre is right about being “woke.”

According to Shalise Manza Young, of Yahoo Sports, “Brett Favre’s bleating about politics in sports is rank with privilege, ignorance and hypocrisy.”

Brett Favre, of course, is the former NFL quarterback, and Hall of Famer, who played for the Green Bay Packers, New York Jets, and the Minnesota Vikings.

Before I start hammering you, regarding your idiotic comments, Shalise, are you related to Androgynous Pat?”

Just wondering.

Well, anyway, let’s get back to Shalise Manza Young’s comments.

“One of the things about being in this position is that you have to do your best to be fair. Journalism shouldn’t be a lack of objectivity, because that’s impossible; every human approaches a story through their lens, colored by their experiences. It should be about fairness.”

Wait, what?

Did she just say, “It should be about fairness?”

Fairness, yes…, and also peoples’ rights to have their own opinions.

To wit: Writers love interview subjects who are fun, frank, even unpredictable. We want people to say what’s on their mind because it makes for better stories.”

It also makes it easier for you and your kind to beat people over the head you don’t agree with…, right Sharise?

“But as a human being, seeing Brett Favre still bleating the same privileged, narrow-minded, anti-Black rhetoric makes my blood boil.”

How do you get “privileged, narrow-minded, anti-Black rhetoric” out of his “frank” opinion, which everyone has a right to, except in “Shariseland,” apparently?

“In theory, journalists or not, we’re all supposed to be trying to do a better job listening to people with different opinions than us, so hushing someone should be verboten.”

Bingo!

“Racism isn’t a difference of opinion, though, like whether or not pineapple should be on pizza (answer: yes).”

Just for the record, that’s worse than racism in my opinion!

“Repeating myths that have been disproven time and again isn’t right or fair. Being a blatant hypocrite makes it worse.”

Well, I guess you oughta know, Sharise.

“So here we are.”

Truer words were never spoken.

“On Sunday, Favre made comments on a radio show once again lamenting players who don’t look like him using their right as free citizens to express their opinion and try to shine a light on the continued, often violent injustices faced by non-white, non-heterosexual, non-cisgendered people every day.”

Just to be clear, Favre never said anything about what the players looked like that he was talking about. He only talked about the actions of certain players, without regard to the color of their skin.

The rest of it you just hung on him to suit your racist point of view.

“He called athletes kneeling during the anthem ‘a shame’ and wondered why ‘standing patriotically’ for a piece of fabric isn’t the great unifier he believes it should be.”

You’re the one crying about people not being able to use their right as free citizens to express their opinion…, but that doesn’t include Brett Favre I guess.

“He intimated once again that he doesn’t want politics in sports, as if politics haven’t been part of sports in this country for at least a century.”

As an avid sports fan most of my life, I really don’t recall politics being infused into sports that much, or at all, until the last few years.

I’m not sure where you’re getting your information from, Sharise. I’m guessing you’re just making that up to fit your narrative, like most “reporters” do these days.

“Favre said, ‘When I turn on a game, I want to watch a game. I want to watch players play and teams win, lose, come from behind. I want to watch all the important parts of the game, not what’s going on outside of the game.’”

BINGO!

THANK YOU.

“We should all patiently wait for Favre to produce video of an NFL player stopping a live game to discuss police brutality, the troubling racial disparities in maternal mortality, or the continued scourge of redlining and its impact on Black families.”

“Not a single one has. They’ve worn T-shirts during warmups and kneeled or raised fists during the pre-kickoff anthem. They’ve shared their perspectives after games or in the locker room on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, when the games were days away.”

“What Favre is saying is that he wants the politics he doesn’t agree with, and the concerns of Black players and their community, to not have to enter his consciousness. Because he, as a white man, does not have to care about their concerns.”

NO…, WHAT HE’S SAYING IS WHEN PEOPLE TUNE INTO A FOOTBALL GAME, OR WHATEVER GAME, THEY’RE TURNING IT ON FOR ENTERTAINMENT, AND AS AN ESCAPE FROM ALL OF THE CRAP IN THEIR LIVES, WHICH INCLUDES POLITICS AND POLITICAL TURMOIL. AND THAT INCLUDES FANS OF ALL RACES I BELIVE.

If we turn on a game and get smacked in the face with political issues of the day, then what’s the point? Where’s the escape. Where’s the entertainment?

There have been quite a few games, I’ve personally tuned into, that wanted me to watch some race related “lesson,” which I immediately turned off.

Then, yes, we have to see t-shirts with political messages on them, and “victims” names on helmets and uniforms, along with “woke” messages on uniforms and on the fields and courts themselves.

I’m sorry, but many of us just want a break from all of this.

If these sports don’t want to afford us this one luxury, then we’re out. We’ll find something else to watch or do.

Nobody begrudges an athlete’s right to be an activist for any cause, but please, do it on your own time, not your customers’ time.

“If you want proof that is how Favre feels, look no further than his Oct. 30, 2020 tweet, when he told the world he’d be voting for Donald Trump in the coming election, listing ‘freedom of speech’ as one of the reasons why.”

There’s the reason for Sharise’s attack!

Brett Favre committed the ultimate sin of saying he supports Donald Trump!

“What’s more political — and hypocritical — than that?” She continues.

“What’s more privileged than telling others to shut up to appease you?”

Like Maxine Waters did to Jim Jordan in that congressional hearing?

Like that?

Like you said, “What’s more political — and hypocritical — than that?”

“Even the NFL, which isn’t exactly a beacon of equity and anti-racist behavior, has come out in support of the notion that Black lives matter and gave players the green light to protest during the anthem through commissioner Roger Goodell’s statement last summer and actions during the 2020 season.”

Yes…, by all means, let’s not fail to contribute to Black Lives Matter (BLM)! We wouldn’t want the founding Marxists of BLM to have to sacrifice any of their multi-million dollar homes, would we?

“Maybe he [Favre] would have understood a small fraction of what it means to be Black, why nearly every political decision made here for 400 years, before this was even America, has been made with our degradation and marginalization in mind. Maybe he would understand why players kneel.”

Your level of confusion is quite impressive, Shalise!

It’s not about understanding…, it’s about his and all of ours’ right to not give a sh*t…, at least for the few hours it takes to watch a game.

Please, don’t take out your racial, political, sexual or gender or whatever frustrations out on Brett Favre.

He’s allowed to feel however he wants to feel, and so is everyone else.

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

CNN is fake news?! No way! Way!!!

Mark Moore, for the New York Post, reports that, “A CNN staffer boasts to Project Veritas that network peddled anti-Trump ‘propaganda.’”

“Charlie Chester, a technical Director at CNN, claims, ‘If it wasn’t for CNN, I don’t know that Trump would have got voted out,’ during a series of fake Tinder dates filmed by Project Veritas.”

“Tinder” is a social networking and online dating app.

Do we love Project Veritas, or what?!

This is too funny!

What a moron…, bragging to fake Tinder dates how influential CNN and he were!

‘“Look what we did, we [CNN] got Trump out. I am 100 percent going to say it, and I 100 percent believe that if it wasn’t for CNN, I don’t know that Trump would have got voted out,’ Chester said, adding that he came to work at CNN because he ‘wanted to be a part of that.’”

‘“Our focus was to get Trump out of office, right? Without saying it, that’s what it was.’”

Many of us were already aware of this, but for those who had any doubt, here it right from the horse’s mouth.

“Chester explained how they overdramatized Trump health issues by bringing in medical experts.”

‘“[Trump’s] hand was shaking or whatever, I think. We brought in so many medical people to all tell a story that was all speculation – that he was neurologically damaged, and he was losing it. He’s unfit to – you know – whatever. We were creating a story there that we didn’t know anything about. I think that’s propaganda,’ he said.”

So, he thinks that was propaganda.

Uh, yeah, Charlie, I think you’re correct there.

Definitely propaganda.

“Asked by the sleuth if he and CNN were concerned with Joe Biden’s health during the election, Chester said the network had that in mind.”

‘“Showing him jogging is obviously deflection of his age and they’re [CNN] trying to make it like, ‘Oh, I’m healthy,’ Chester said.”

“The date asked, ‘What do you mean?’”

“Charlie Chester, a technical Director at CNN says the network was ‘creating a story there that we didn’t know anything about,’ in regards to former President Donald Trump’s health issues.”

‘“We would always show shots of him [Biden] jogging and that [he’s] healthy, you know, and him in aviator shades. Like you paint him as a young geriatric,’ Chester replied.”

“A source close to CNN said Project Veritas targeted Chester through the dating app Tinder because his profile mentioned he worked at CNN, according to Mediaite [a political website].”

“The Project Veritas employee, who was not identified and claimed to be a nurse, went on five dates wearing a wire, including the final one at a coffee shop in Chester’s neighborhood.”

Ha!

These people are better than the FBI!

“Chester told his ‘date’ he would be fine with it if Biden died, because he thought Vice President Kamala Harris is ‘f—ing real.’”

I’m sure Illegitimate Joe will be glad to hear that.

‘“I had so many arguments about, like — my dad would be like, “You’re, you know, you’re voting in Kamala Harris because he’s going to die in the presidency,” Chester told the woman. ‘And I’m like, He’s not going to f—ing die.’ But I’m OK with that. I’m OK with that. She probably could be a b—h in, like, a board meeting, and you’d hate her as a boss, but she’s f—ing real, and better than what we got regardless.’”

Wow…, how gender sensitive of you, Charlie.

Yup…, “woke” Charlie, that’s our boy!

“Chester was asked if CNN covered Biden tripping as he walked up the stairs.”

‘“You talk about that briefly. You don’t make that a huge story,’ he said.”

“CNN did not respond to requests for comment by The Post.”

OH, REEEEALLY?!!!

Project Veritas is like the modern-day version of “Candid Camera,” only you’re not sympathetic for the person being caught on camera.

“During one of the meetings with his ‘date,’ Chester talked about how CNN also targeted anti-Trump voters by focusing on climate change, adding ‘fear sells.’”

Well, CNN must have been ecstatic about the pandemic!

‘“I think there’s a COVID fatigue. So, like whenever a new story comes up, they’re [CNN’s] going to latch onto it. They’ve already announced in our office that once the public is — will be open to it — we’re going to start focusing mainly on climate,’ Chester said.”

‘“It’s going to be our [CNN’s] focus. Like our focus was to get Trump out of office, right? Without saying it, that’s what it was, right? So, our next thing is going to be climate change awareness,’ he added.”

Thanks for the “heads up,” Charlie…, I’ll have to keep my eyes open for that.

“Charlie Chester, a technical Director at CNN, says the network’s goal was ‘to be climate change awareness,’ following President Donald Trump’s election loss.”

‘“What’s that look like?’ Chester was asked.”

‘“I don’t know. I’m not sure. I have a feeling that it’s going to be like, constantly showing videos of decline in ice, and weather warming up, and like the effects it’s having on the economy,’ Chester said.”

“Asked who makes that decision, he said the ‘head of the network,’ referring to Jeff Zucker.”

‘“I imagine that he’s got his council and they’ve all like, discussed, like where they think,’ he said, trailing off.”

“He then said the new focus would be on a ‘pandemic-like story that we’ll beat to death, but that one’s got longevity.’”

‘“Like there’s a definitive ending to the pandemic. It’ll taper off to a point that it’s not a problem anymore. Climate change can take years, so they’ll [CNN will] probably be able to milk that quite a bit,’ he said.”

At the rate CNN is losing viewership, these days, CNN may not be around long enough to do much “milking.”

If anybody had any doubts about where CNN was coming from, I thinks those doubts have now all been laid to rest.

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

Ha! My Kamala Harris “interview.”

Yes, my friends…, MrEricksonRules was granted the opportunity to talk with our current Vice President, Kamala Harris.

Here are some of the highlights from my extensive interview.

MrEricksonRules: Good morning Ms. Vice President. I appreciate you giving us some of your valuable time and allowing us to visit with you.

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: Okay…, well, moving along…, is there anything you’d like to say to the XL Pipeline workers, union and non-union, who lost their jobs on day 1 of your administration?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: No, really…, wouldn’t you like to express any compassion, or sympathy, for their situation?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: Okay, well, I guess not. Let’s move on to the situation on our southern border. Your, boss, President Biden, tapped you to manage the situation down there. How has that been going so far?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: That good, Huh? We see all of the pictures of how the kids down there are being treated, and that there are like 4,000 children in a facility designed to house 250. How do you respond to the criticism your administration is receiving from some in the media?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: When former President Trump was in office, you were quoted as saying, “You look at the fact that this is a president who has pushed policies that’s been about putting babies in cages at the border in the name of security when in fact what it is, is a human rights abuse being committed by the United States government.” Do you still stand by this comment in light of your own administration’s treatment of these “babies?”

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: You have also been quoted as saying, “An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal.” By definition, isn’t someone who breaks our laws a criminal? Isn’t illegally entering our country breaking the law?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: Ms. Harris, you have also been quoted as saying, “A wall on the border with Mexico was a total waste of taxpayer money. I am a strong believer in border security—but experts agree that a wall will not secure our border.” But, if walls don’t work, why was “a wall” erected around the capitol after the January 6^th protests? I don’t recall you being opposed to that wall being constructed?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: Okay…, well enough about the border crisis. Let’s talk about your proposed “infrastructure” bill, as you refer to it. Are you aware that only 6% of the $2 trillion dollars you’re proposing to spend is slated to go directly towards actual infrastructure improvements?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: Seriously though, isn’t that like calling a Big Mac meal a “ketchup packet meal” that just happens to include a Big Mac, fries, and a soda?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: Let’s talk about The President, Joe Biden that is, for a bit. Have you been impressed by his quick wit and his ability to communicate effectively off the cuff?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: I guess those are my feelings as well. Do you remember, during the debates, when you said you believed Biden’s sexual accusers and that he was a racist?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: That was awesome. I think that was when you were at your high-water mark, polling with like 2% of the vote.

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: Continuing along those lines, why do you think Joe chose you for his running mate? Was it because you could deliver the battle ground state of California?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: Maybe it was it because of your extensive foreign policy experience?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: Was it because of your reputation as someone who could reach across party lines and bring people together?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: Maybe it was because of your sense of humor?!

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: Yes…, I think that was it. You seem to be able to find the humor in any situation.

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: You don’t think he chose you solely because you are a woman, and a person of color, do you?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: Well, I see your people are indicating it’s time to wrap this up. Thank you again for your time, Madam Vice President. Is there anything you’d like add before we’re through here?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: I should have guessed.

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: Oh…, one last thing, Ms. Harris. Were you aware that the highly respected, former Supreme Court Justice, and the Court’s first African-American justice, Thurgood Marshall, died almost 30 years ago, in 1993?

Vice President Harris:

MrEricksonRules: I guess your “handlers” should have told you. Well, thank you again, Ms. Harris.

Well, there you have it, my friends. My in-depth interview with our current Vice President, Kamala Harris.

I hope we were able to shed some light on her feelings about the state of our country and her feelings on other various topics.

I feel like she really didn’t say an awful lot, but you know what they say…, “It’s better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt.”

They also say, “Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone; For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, But, has trouble enough of its own.”

True. We definitely have enough trouble to go around in this world, and even more now thanks to Illegitimate Joe, “Cackling” Kamala, and their puppet masters!

The other problem here is, I don’t think anyone is laughing WITH Ms. Harris.

We’re all just mostly shaking our heads.

Thank you, MrEricksonRules.

Hey, Jabba, I mean, Cuomo…, what do you have to say about this?!

According to Natalie O’Neill for the New York Post, “One of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s sexual harassment accusers on Thursday compared an embrace from him to being ravaged by the powerful, slug-like ‘Star Wars’ character Jabba the Hutt.”

Ha!

Please continue!

“Cuomo accuser Lindsey Boylan’s Jabba the Hutt comparison stuns social media,” O’Neill added.

So, you’re saying Social media is “stunned by this,” but not by 15,000 elderly people losing their lives because of Cuomo’s nursing home COVID orders?!

I haven’t seen anything about social media being “stunned by that.

Just sayin’.

‘“Just the good old office welcome to women in the governor’s office of New York,’ former Cuomo aide Lindsey Boylan tweeted with a photo of Jabba the Hutt squeezing a repulsed-looking Princess Leia.”

“@LindseyBoylan Tweeted”

‘“Just the good old office welcome to women in the governor’s office of New York.’”

“Ana Liss, who has also accused Andrew Cuomo of sexual harassment, echoed the notion that Cuomo is monsterlike in the comment section of Boylan’s tweet.”

‘“TFW [That Feeling When] he’s approaching your desk,’ she posted next to an image of a glass of water shaking as a dinosaur from the movie ‘Jurassic Park’ stomps nearby.”

Too funny!

“Boylan, 36, has alleged that Cuomo, 63, subjected her to harassment that included kissing her ‘on the lips’ as she left a meeting in his Manhattan office in 2018.”

“Allegations by Boylan, who is now a Democratic candidate for Manhattan borough president, triggered allegations from other female accusers, including his current aide Alyssa McGrath, 33.”

“McGrath alleges Cuomo harassed her by peering down her blouse and commenting on her necklace, among other incidents. An unidentified aide has also accused Cuomo of groping her breast in the New York State Executive Mansion.”

Well, Cuomo did serve in President Bill Clinton’s Cabinet as the United States secretary of housing and urban development at one point!

“In ‘Star Wars,’ Jabba the Hutt was one of the galaxy’s most notorious gangsters, with far-reaching influence in the criminal world and political circles.”

Hey…, if the shoe fits, wear it, “Fredo!”
