- I’m going to set up a website to sell tickets to the Donald Trump Re-Inaugural Ball and advertise it on Breitbart and Fox News. A fifty dollar non-refundable down payment will get you the option to buy a ticket for a ball in Washington, DC when Trump gets re-installed any time prior to the 2024 election. Date of the ball TBD. And remember, it’s non-refundable. Maybe I’ll even set up a “Make this a monthly donation” box.
- There are fewer white nationalist characters featured in an hour’s worth of “Hogan’s Heroes” than there are on a primetime show on Fox News.
- If I’m the Biden Administration, I’m calling up Tucker Carlson’s producers and saying that Biden’ll do a live 20-minute interview with Carlson at the White House on Monday. Carlson and crew arrive, the appointed time comes, Biden walks in, sits down, sees the red light on the camera go on and says, “Tucker, you’ve been lying to the American people about the vaccine. Stop it. You’re costing people their health and lives. And tell them that YOU’RE vaccinated. America, this man isn’t a doctor and shouldn’t be listened to.” Then Biden should get up and walk out, taking no questions from Carlson.
- One of Tucker Carlson’s new advertisers is a website that claims it can tell you if you will go to heaven when you die or not. That’s not a joke.
- I have no interest in any of the Olympic sports in the summer games. I’m sure I’ll get sucked into some obscure event, like team handball, but there’s nothing that I’m planning to watch.
- Unless she gets significant training, Marjorie Taylor-Greene’s post-Congressional career, starting in 2023, will not be in media, not even as a Fox News contributor. She has no appeal at all. Lauren Boebert will likely end up on The Five or The View.
- All three major stock indices closed at record highs again this week, and nary a self-congratulatory tweet from the White House was seen.
- While conservatives will gripe that Tom Barrack was being prosecuted for a “process crime,” remember that he intentionally didn’t register as a foreign agent. It’s not like federal agents showed up at this door one day to arrest him on the charge; the Departments of Justice and State send notifications to the suspected individuals advising them to register, which would effectively be retroactive. Barrack (and Mike Flynn and Paul Manafort) ignored those warnings and should be punished appropriately.
- Barrack is really wishing he would have been indicted in 2020. I might be wrong, but I’m not sure the President will be as willing to entertain a pardon request as the last guy would’ve been.
- Why conservative politicians are now pushing coronavirus vaccinations so suddenly is a mystery. It’s certainly not for the benefit of their constituents. It’s always a political calculus with the GOP.
- The Washington Football Team. The Cleveland Guardians. We’re looking at you next, Atlanta and Kansas City.
- Breakfast eggs (if someone else is cooking): Poached, then omelet, then soft-boiled, then scrambled, then sunny side up. The best eggs are runny and served on top of a classic (non-canned) corned beef hash.
- I’ve yet to perfect cooking scrambled eggs. Mine are decent, but not fantastic. I’ve heard it all: don’t add anything to the eggs. Add milk. Use sour cream. Pour in some water. I can never get the curds to be the right consistency.
- Products that are always offered for a sale price–like the MyPillow line–aren’t really on sale.
