ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST

Another one bites the dust. Is it just me, or does is seem like every day another lefty liberal icon is leaving the national stage under a cloud of some degree of sexual harassment?  I must admit, I am not exactly heartbroken over the plight of any of these guys. They are not the victims.

* * * * * * * * * *



Would you like to know what a sanctimonious schmuck looks like? This should do it. It is a photograph of sanctimonious schmuck Matt Lauer interviewing Bill O'Reilly after O'Reilly was fired by Fox News for some various cases of sexual harassment which were settled with big cash payouts to a handful of women. I am not defending O'Reilly. But what gave Lauer the right to grill Bill?

from variety.com
In September, Lauer asked the former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly if he’d ever sent lewd text messages to colleagues. “Think about those … women and what they did,” Lauer said. “They came forward and filed complaints against the biggest star at the network they worked at. Think about how intimidating that must have been. Doesn’t that tell you how strongly they felt about you?”


Would you like to see a photograph of a woman who has no idea how much danger she's in. This should do it. It is a photograph of Katie Holmes flanked by formerly respected, politically influential, Harvey Weinstein and the former King of Morning TV, Matt Lauer.



Would you like to see a photograph of two people sharing trade secrets? This should do it. "What, you mean you don't have a secret button under your desk to lock your door and keep your object of your affection trapped?"


.
Would you like to see a photograph that is just disturbing? This should do it. I don't care what Matt Lauer does in the own time (OK, just kidding, This was from Halloween 2013) I just felt like sharing it today.

POCAHONTAS

Hey, lefties...Would you like to know one of the many reasons that half of America admires Donald Trump? It is because he has the balls to call out frauds when he sees one. The (dis)Honorable Senator Elizabeth Warren who gamed the system to claim to be a Native American is a liar. She is a fraud. What she is not, is a Native American. I hate to be the one to break this news to her and to all her sycophants - she is caucasian.  There is no more effective way to call attention to this phony than to derisively call her Pocahontas. If the shoe (or moccasin) fits, wear it. 







My 10 mile hike started AFTER 8PM and ended around 10:30PM. The weather was remarkably warm, and I was out and about in just two layers of t-shirt.

REFUSE TO SKIP

Yesterday I left Chicago in the morning. My first stop was in Indianapolis. I zipped out of Indianapolis and I finally arrived in my Lexington, Kentucky hotel around 8:30PM. After a full day of travel it took a lot of effort to strip down and put on some walking clothes. Armed with my headlamp, I headed out and managed a six mile hike. It would have been so easy to skip a day. It is such a good feeling to refuse to skip the day.

My day started with the eradication of my scruffy beard that I  had enjoyed for a week or so. My next grooming improvement will be an overdue haircut.

GENUINE FAKE NEWS

To all of you lefties out there who keep your head buried in the sand and refuse to acknowledge the existence of honest-to-goodness genuine fake news from the dishonest media, here's the latest example. The two Morning Joe nitwits (Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski) on MSNBC (National Broadcasting Company subsidiary) aired a news show, the Morning Joe on Friday morning. Each day during the week this live moronic show is watched by braindead Americans in search of their morning fix of Republican bashing. On this day, both hosts talked about their Thanksgiving dinner on the previous day.  Then they went about their normal daily activities of bashing our President. One snafu emerged. This was a taped segment. MSNBC aired something that they tried to pawn off a a live broadcast when it was taped. Can you get more fake than that? Democrats are not hampered by the flow of time, the flow of history of the flow of facts to report news and draw conclusions. Here is another example: Former FBI Director, James Comey wrote a memo exonerating Hillary Clinton from the illegal email/server investigation BEFORE the investigation was completed. Any problems with that? For people with a functioning mind, there might be yes. For others, probably no.

‘Morning Joe,’ did you really just pretape your post-Thanksgiving banter?

.
The hosts of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” did the usual day-after Thanksgiving kibitzing on the air on Friday morning, telling viewers about their turkey dinners and mentioning the big football game the night before. One problem: None of those things had actually happened at the time Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski and Co. started talking about them. The program that aired Friday morning was taped Wednesday, but made to look and sound as if it was airing live. “Morning Joe” airs live on MSNBC five days a week. It features discussions of breaking or very recent news events. Friday’s program had all the earmarks of a typical “Morning Joe” and few viewers seemed to notice that it wasn’t happening in real time. MSNBC offered no announcement or statement to viewers that it was a taped program. The only indirect clue was at the bottom of the screen: The “Live” graphic that normally appears was removed. The rest was cooked up to appear as if it was happening in real time. Brzezinski opened the program by saying, “Day after Thanksgiving! Hoo! I’m stuffed.” The second segment picked up the after-holiday theme. “I always cook the turkey with the guts in it!” Brzezinski said. “Joe didn’t notice. He ate the bag,” quipped co-host Willie Geist, pretending Scarborough had consumed Brzezinski’s theoretical turkey. “It was good!” Scarborough said. He added, “Well, you know, the game made up for it . . .” Scarborough then turned to Rick Tyler, an MSNBC contributor who was Sen. Ted Cruz’s campaign spokesman. “How was your Thanksgiving?” he asked. “Very successful,” responded Tyler. “Although the conversations were interesting.” “I bet!” said Brzezinski. The panel then swung into a discussion of the pedophile controversy surrounding Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. The illusion that the discussion was live was fostered by the news crawl at the bottom of the screen, which was added over the taped discussion, and a clock showing the time in various time zones. The hosts never got around to talking about Friday morning’s biggest story, the deadly terrorist attack on a mosque in Egypt — because it hadn’t happened yet when they taped. The crawl mentioned it. An MSNBC spokeswoman declined to comment. But an executive confirmed that the program wasn’t live. “There was no intention to trick viewers,” she said. “Would it have helped if there was a disclaimer” referencing it as a delayed broadcast? “Maybe. But that’s not typically done.” As is, she said, “They’re having fun” with the pretense that it’s live. A longtime viewer of the program noticed that Friday’s edition had none of the usual discussion of breaking news and contacted The Washington Post to inquire if “Morning Joe” was presenting “fake news.” He said he was surprised to see Scarborough and Brzezinski appearing in a New York studio on the Friday after Thanksgiving. “I was quite flabbergasted by the way they were so deceptive about this . . . especially when they are always so quick to castigate lying [or] deception they attribute to others,” said the viewer, who asked not to be identified. Scarborough and Brzezinski have engaged in a long-running feud with President Trump over many issues, including the president’s veracity. The hostilities seemed to crest in June when Trump attacked the couple in an early-morning tweet in which he criticized Brzezinski’s appearance.

BURN NOTICE

It's embarrassing to admit how little time it took me to plow through 111 episodes of Burn Notice on netflix. Embarrassing enough, that I will not admit it. I will admit only that it took more than a week, and far less than one month. Great show about a spy, Michael Westin, who has been 'burned.' That is cut off from his previous support network and life as a spy.  So if you are looking for some great TV on a cold wintry day, I might suggest that you give Burn Notice a try. Be prepared for some sleep deprivation, as it is very difficult not to watch the 'next' episode. (110 times)

SURVIVING THANKSGIVING WEEKEND

This is the time of year where it is so easy to eat, and overeat and then overeat some more. So, today, when I weighed myself and I found that I had gained two pounds over Thanksgiving, I will simply choose to think that I 'survived' with only two pounds gained. Of course, this is ridiculous. Denial almost always is.
