SAY IT AIN'T SO, JOE!

Last night, our leader, our President, Donald Trump gave a speech that was meant to be unifying. He spoke about many accomplishments and milestones that our country has experienced during the past year. One great example, was when he touted the lowest unemployment rate among African-Americans in history. The camera panned to the Congressional Black Caucus who sat looking like someone had just whispered to them that their dog had just died.  You see, good economic news for America is disastrous news for the Democrats.  You might say, well isn't the reverse true when there is a Democrat president?  It might be.  There is no way of knowing. Democrats traditionally damage and destroy economic prosperity. No surprise to any of my readers that I thought Donald Trump gave a great, positive uplifting speech last night....  But what about official Democrat response given by Joe Kennedy III.

That hateful, speech given my Joe Kennedy who was spewing so much bile, it literally leaked from his mouth in some kind of glistening spittle. And I want to give credit to the producer of the Imus in the Morning Show, Bernard McGuirk who asked this question, which I will paraphrase:

What was with the broken car in the background? Did they fish out his uncle's car from Chappaquiddick?  

You need to have a twisted sense of dark humor to find that funny. I found it funny.

Really, what was the point of the car with its hood up serving as background to the  Democratic response to the State of the Union address?  I am sure it was a very erudite and scholarly metaphor for something. Obviously I am too stupid to understand it.

One of the most famous quotes in sports history is linked to the date September 28, 1920.

On that day, “Shoeless Joe” Jackson supposedly admitted during testimony to a grand jury that he was one of eight Chicago White Soxbaseball players who took bribes to let the Cincinnati Reds win the 1919 World Series.

It came to be known as the “Black Sox scandal” and it was devastating for baseball fans.

A crowd of fans were gathered outside the Cook County Courthouse where Jackson was testifying.

Word spread among them that their hero had admitted he’d helped throw the series to the Reds.

According to legend, as Jackson left the courthouse, a heartbroken young boy went up to him and begged: “Say it ain’t so, Joe.”

It’s legend rather than fact because there are holes in various aspects of the story.

For one thing, there’s no court record of Jackson admitting he was involved in fixing the game – and, publicly, he always denied it.

In fact, in 1921, he was found innocent by a Chicago jury.

In addition, quotation experts have determined that the legendary quote is a misquote of a quote that was probably fabricated by a reporter in the first place.

DEMOCRAT SEXUAL PREDATOR ALL STAR TEAM

I find it so hard to believe that so many morally confused people are still so bent out of shape over the crude remarks made by Donald Trump in private more than a decade before he ran for President. Everyone who has feigned outrage over this has apparently never been near normal dumb guys saying normal dumb stuff. Saying something stupid, and talking about doing something stupid does not mean that you have done something stupid. The particularly sad thing about what Donald Trump said about grabbing women, has proven to be extremely true. Don't believe me, ask Harvey Weinstein. At least is has apparently been true for the past few decades. Rich and/or famous and/or powerful and/or wealthy people apparently have felt that you could do anything to a women. So the fact that Donald Trump said this does not mean that he did it. Are we all in agreement?  But seriously, have you ever noticed how photogenic some of our national leaders are? The most recent example was provided by the (DIS)Honorable Senator from Minnesota, Al Franken on Thursday. 

The comedic genius of Al Franken is being nicely displayed in the photo.   Funny Stuff, eh? Do you realize that there were whispers that this clown could have been the Democratic Presidential nominee in 2020?

Carlos Danger, also known as the (DIS)Honorable Congressman from New York, the appropriately named, Anthony Wiener is another guy who has shown us what it means to be a class act. 

One of the women that Bill Clinton IS NOT accused of raping. Bill Clinton is considered a hero to the morally deficient lefty liberal loons.

This guy was not just an all-star - He belongs in the HALL OF FAME. In what kind of upside down moral world could this man have politically survived after his epic swim in July 1969?

The late Massachusetts Democrat, Senator Ted Kennedy remained a major national political figure despite the Chappaquiddick incident, where his late brother’s 29-year-old ex-staffer, Mary Jo Kopechne, drowned when a car Kennedy was driving went off a bridge. Kennedy pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, received a two month suspended sentence, and continued his political career until his death from brain cancer in 2009. Ted Kennedy was among the most revered Democrats in the country until his death. Now while he was not a murderer, he was clearly an involuntary manslaughterer. Democrats still voted him into office again and again. You see, being a Democrat means you do and say whatever you want, as long as you vote 'correctly'.

This was a particularly challenging week for weight management... It started last weekend with my 'all you can eat' sushi adventure. My gum surgery on Monday also put me 'off my game.' I ate a bit too much yogurt, cottage cheese and ice-cream as I was supposed to eat soft foods. The bottom line is that I went 2 pounds backwards this week. This upcoming week includes Thanksgiving which will present further challenges. I know that I can't walk enough to erase calories, but walking does mitigate some of the excesses at least a little bit - one hopes.
