THE OTHER TRUMP

If Trump weren't born with a platinum spoon in his mouth, do you know who he would be? He woul be an ordinary working man, maybe a cop, (more like a night watchman) without a college education (or at least not Wharton).  He would still be on his third marriage, paying alimony and child support on a meager salary. He would still be a bitter racist, most likely a member of a white supremacist group. He would still consider himself brilliant despite being on only rung two of the ladder of success. He would always have a Ralph Kramden scheme to wealth that always failed. He would owe everyone in town which would lead to constant moving. He couldn't afford to play golf, so he would probably be a bowler, but not that often. He would say makeup is for queers. He would probably still not be a drinker (teetotalling being his only virtue). Dumb people would think he was smart, the smart would recognize his stupidity. He would still eat at McDonalds but out of poverty, not preference. He would never be able to afford to stay at any hotel like his, and considering his moral code he might even become a professional thief, which he would rationalize by saying that wealtlhy people didn't deserve to hog all the nation's wealth.

President Trump no longer allows Steve King aboard Air Force One. I guess Trump decided that one anti-black, racist bigot is enough.

BEYOND MERELY FILTHY.

After watching Filthy Rich on Netflix, I am more convinced than ever that Jeffrey Epstein was murdered. Even some of the forensic evidence bears that out, significantly the two breaks in the hyoid rarely caused by hanging. Also Jeffrey was too arrogant and too rich to not think he could escape prison with enough bribes and fly off to some country that does not have extradition and does have available young girls. And he hadn't even be tried yet. Why did they even house him in the Tombs, a prison so old and decrepit it would be easy to overcome its many security failings? However it wasn't an easy place to commit suicide.  Ironically our crooked Attorney General William Barr was in control of the place and President Trump had a lot to lose if Epstein opened his yap about the friendship that Trump says he gave up ten years ago. The program described Epstein as a narcissistic egocentric with no compassion whatever. Ironically that's how they describe Trump, his neighbor and friend. Coincidentaly both had deformed penises: one like and egg, the other like a mushroom. I wonder if that has anything to do with character.

JUSTICE?

A white 23-year-old who murdered two people and kidnapped a young girl was captured unharmed in Delaware. But a black man who committed a minor crime was murdered by a police officer in Minneapolis in a vicious and sadistic manner.

While Trump is suggesting what happened to Scarborough's staffer, someone should ask Trump, 
"What happened to Carolyn?"

Salon had one of the most juvenile articles I've ever seen on their web. The title was 60 rarely seen photos from the 1970s for mature audiences only by Jacob Shelton. The photos were mostly of past movie stars.  The mature audience part was because these stars were almost exclusively females with large breasts. Who assembled this? Is Jacob 12 years old. I would say it was for immature audiences only.

GO GIRL.

Whenever Kathy Griffin sarcastically suggests something fatal for Trump, he insists that her comments have upset Baron, which is bulllshit. I doubt that Baron even knows who Kathy is, and pays no attention at all to these macabre suggestions. It's its anther example of Trump lying through his dentures in a pathetic bid for pity. Kathy only voices what millions upon millions of Americans actually think.

"I CAN'T BREATHE."

The news keeps mentioning four fired Minneapolis police officers should be charged in the murder of George Floyd, I don't know about the other three. But Derek Chauvin, the cop with his knee on the neck of Mr. Floyd, who kept ignoring Mr. Floyd's pleas to allow him to breathe should be charged with murder. I don't know why the police force is shooting rubber bullets at the crowd when they should be apologizing and promising to do everything possible to indict this sadistic officer.

A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MOTIVE.

I don't think that Trump came up with the intern-murder story to vilify Joe Scarborough. I think he knew it would never be believed. Then why? I think he created that myth knowing it would be dismissed and ridiculed. Now why would he do that?  Because when and if Trump is ever accused of being involved in the murder of Jeffrey Epstein, he can claim it as "fake news. He can say the media ridiculed his Scarborough accusation but embraced this equally absurd theory. Thus hoping to make the story go away.  But I wonder if it is absurd.  He and Trump were friends and neighbors. Do you really think a sybarite like Trump would not take advantage of Epstein's underage harem? Epstein was a pederast withlot of secrets and many powerful and friends including Trump, Alan Dershowitz and Prince Andrew How convenient that he hanged himself before he revealed those damaging secrets, and how unlikely. I'm convinced that Trump did play a part in the suspicious  death of Jeffrey Epstein.Is this a ridiculous conspiracy theory?  Maybe. But if Trump can accuse people of murder, why can't I?

TRUMP WANTS CHARLOTTE DESPITE CORONA.

Gosh, I hope North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper satisfies President Trump's idiotic requests so that the Republicans can have their convention in Charlotte this August. Because that would mean by September that all the delegates who were stupid enough to attend would be hospitalized or dead. Let's face it, there is no way the coronavirus will be gone by then, and attending a Republican-packed
stadium would be suicide. Who knows even 73-year-old Trump might not attend since he could be laid out in a DC hospital ICU ward on a ventilator. Even if he isn't, by then many GOPers may have finally realized what a danger this golfing, whining, incompetent liar is to America and realize their party might have to sit this term out while they look for a sane candidate to run in 2024. So keep threatening to move your convention Dictator Donny. Whether it takes place in Charlotte or some other city, it's sure to be a disaster that leads to all kinds of problems for which you will have to take full responsibility.

TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN.

Everybody's out for the extra buck these days, even people you used to respect like Turner Classic Movies. It used to be included in my Comccast package. Then it wasn't. To obtain it I had to spend an extra $10 a month for a separate package that included a bunch of channels I would never watch. Then TCM promoted their first podcast with Peter Bogdanovich. I tuned it in and was pleased that it was free. Ah, but that was only for Part I. If you wanted to know more of the story, you had to pay extra even if you wee a subscriberFrankly it wasn't that good. I still love the classic movies, but don't have the same respect for TCM an ymore. Why? Because they think, like Michael Douglas in Wall Street that "greed is good". And as it happens Greed is very good but you can only see it periodically on TCM.

THANK YOU ANDREW 0'HERIR

What he did was not welcome, but his writing and referring to Trump's capacious ass made up for what offended and pleased me. The offense was seeing a photo of Sarah Palin to spotlight his article in Salon. What pleased me was being aware of no longer being exposed to the idiocy and irritating voice of that Alaskan shrew. Having to deal with the mendacious illiteracy of Trump is difficult enough, if Palin were still relevant I would go mad. That's it. I really should put a photo on this post, but since I cannot bear to look at Palin, I will find a suitable replacement.

TRUMP TOPS BIRTHER THEORY!

We all knew that one day Trump would totally snap and come up with an outrageous theory that would prove what a sick creep he is. That day has come with his accusing Joe Scarborough of having murdered one of his interns in 2001 when Joe was a congressman from Florida. It was ruled at the time that the young lady in question died of a heart problem and hitting her head on a desk when she fell. But Trump the insane claims it was murder without suggesting a single motive other than his own need to distract from his sinking ratings.  Does anyone out there still doubt that Donny is delusional. If anyone is guilty of a past murder, it's probably Trump since he spends so much time projecting. Some girl probably died from an abortion he arranged, from telling him she thought he was stupid, or from demanding payment for some work she provided. It should be hilarious to see what Scarborough says tomorrow when Trump will have unwillingly given him a huge boost in ratings.

CHILDREN OF THE CORN,

Did you ever notice that whenever Donald Trump and Ivana's children try to make meaningful comments they put their feet in their mouths? It would appear that they have inherited their father's lack of compassion and human understanding. Ivanka the bland bleached blonde has made a fool of herself in India by turning a heroic act into a dumb tweet (so like daddy). It seems that when 15-year-old Jyoti Kumari biked 750 miles miles over 7 days to bring her injured father home during the coronavirus lockdown, Blondie saw it less as an act of filial love as the Tour de France.  Junior and Eric makes their gaffes in a pathetic race to win their father's love. Each is constantly praising their father and attempting to rationalize his constant blunders and racist remarks in an attempt to win his love (an impossibility from a soulless parent). What a sad trio. Still imagine the juicy tell-alls their ghost authors will write once the old man croaks.

                      OINK! OINK!

LYING LIPS ARE AN ABOMINATION TO THE LORD. PROVERBS 12:22

If you're religious and you're also for Trump, then you're incredibly gullible. When Trump insisted that "churches are essential" and wanted services resumed he wasn't fighting for your rights, but for your vote. Keep in mind Trump is a self-worshipping atheist who never attends church and doesn't obey many of God's commandments. He's much more like King Herod than Christ. Also keep in mind, he really couldn't care less if you got the virus and died. The very fact that he eschews face masks and is willing to open the country prematurely proves that. By promoting the false benefits of the very dangerous drug hydroxychloroquine, which he has never taken but suggests you should,  shows how little regard he has for science or human life. So my suggestion to you is go to church or to another house of worship this weekend, but if it's too crowded or there are not enough worshippers wearing masks, don't go in, go home. Why do I care. Because unlike Donald Trump, I value human life. Even the lives of Trump fans.

IT'S BEGUN,

Supposedly liberal MSNBC is already attacking Biden like they assaulted Hillary Clinton in the last election. Today, after a debate between Biden and Charlemagne, slimy Chuck Todd listed Biden's past misspeaks and minor flaws. Why? Does he want Trump to win? Biden said if you're for Trump, you ain't black, which is absolutely true, though Uncle Tom Republican Black Senator Tim Scott calls it "race baiting". What does Biden have a to do  to show he cares? Are there still some in minority communities who don't realize the danger they face if Trump is reelected. Republicans in their interviews and commercials will be lying through their teeth, so why do Democrats have to be so honestly critical of the only hope they have of getting rid of our evil racist president? If Trump wins, kiss America, democracy, decency, free speech, and equal rights goodbye. Especially if you're Black or Hispanic. Stop looking for and announcing flaws of Biden. Whatever they are are miniscule compared to dictator Trump's myriad failings. If the so-called liberal news networks hadn't constantly repeated Republican propaganda about Hillary, we wouldn't be in this mess. Don't let it happen again.

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON-IN-LAW.

I find it hilarious that Ivanka Trump who regards herself as so elegant and above the crowd is basically married to a landlord. It's true his father-in-law gives him fancy titles and jobs he has no ability to perform, but his place in life is a collector of rents. He can't even distinguish that role by being a kindly beneficent millionaire with sympathy for those out of work or fallen on hard times because of coronavirus. No, he wants his rents when they're due, otherwise his tenants receive nasty threatening letters certain to fill them with fear and panic. No wonder Trump is so fond of Jared Kushner, a greedy, unforgiving landlord - Must remind him of his father.

ANOTHER REP DOWN THE TUBES.

It's fascinating to watch. Men and women with perfectly good, sometimes great, reputations get along just fine in life. They're honest, hard-working, admirable. Then they happen to catch Trump's eye. He offers them a desirable position and, in this case, one with a long title.  They take it. And within months they turn into deceitful and dislikable puppets. Suddenly all their good deeds and admirable qualities turn to crap in deference to Donald. The latest victim is Peter Navarro who happily faces the camera to repeat all the false attacks Trump has made on WHO and CDC. What is it about Trump's enormous derriere that makes so many people willing to kiss it? Keep your eye on the career of John Ratcliffe.

A Columbia University study has shown in a recent analysis that roughly 36,000 lives could have been saved from COVID-19 if social distancing measures had been enacted just one week earlier. Rather than take responsibility for his deadly tardiness President Trump accused the university of a "hit job" with his usual unwillingness to admit that his incompetence alone was responsible for so many unnecessary deaths.

                    hydroxymoron

Not only do I think we should have a mail-in vote this year, but I think each mailed vote should require a specially designed $1 stamp to give the Post Office at least a 100 million dollar boost. A mail in vote is not as susceptible to fraud as our old method, which is why Trump wants to decimate the Post Office. Once Trump and his corrupt cronies are out of office, America can breathe again, honesty can be restored, and compassion can once more become an American trait.

GOOD OR BAD, HE'S ALWAYS ON,

The news is not a hoax or fake, but it sure is stupid. Trump says he's been taking a daily dose of hydroxychloroquine, an obvious lie,and it's all the new can talk about for days. It is so obviously not true, but they report it as if it were. How weak does that make them look. Now they have glommed on to another non-story, the alleged corruption of Biden and his son Hunter. Are the networks trying to put Trump in office again? They should not even report Trump fantasies. Ignore them. Cover the stories around them. They shouldn't even cover him, at least not irrelevant stories. But they constantly air him, and re-air him. We're sick of him and his lies. Why do they insist on forcing him on us?  Do the networks care so little about the future of America that they're willing to give Trump what he wants and needs to win, just as they did when they vilified Hillary Clinton. For it's news value, do they want another badministration?

Despite the medical experts' insistence,
Trump won't wear a mask,
Or keep a safe distance.
Washing his hands he'll do
But that's all.
But that's easy for him,
His hands are so small.

WHAT GOOD IS FREE WITHOUT DELIVERY?

I was so taken in by the Wayfair commercials, I decided they were the ideal outlet for the new table I needed. After reviewing their choices on the Internet, I decided on the perfect table at the perfect price. But when I went to checkout, it cost twice as much with no explanation. So I called their customer service number for an explanation. Their recording said they were very busy and I would have to wait about ten minutes. I could live with this, so I put the phone on speaker and left it on the desk. Twenty minutes later the repetitious message was still blaring every 15 seconds. Wayfair lost a sale and a potential customer. I doubt that they care.

THE FANCY SCHMACY FREELOADERS.

How sad that the United States Secretary of State. Pompeo,  thinks that Americans are so stupid and gullible that he can make completely unbelievable statements with impunity. Of course they don't plan to prosecute Obama because he has not committed a crime. Duh. Of course Inspector General Steve Linick was fired because, having integrity, he was about to expose your criminal actions and the parasitic freeloading of your cheapskate wife, Susan the Sponge. With your lack of brainpower and character, you would never have had this job with a respectable president. So, in a way, you're wise to constantly kiss Trump's ass. I suggest you be very careful never to take your lips away.

TAKING A LIAR AT HIS WORD.

The entire world knows that Trump is a liar. He lies about everything, big and small. He lies about people. He just sent one of this nasty letters lying about Joe Biden, which he will be doing constantly from now on. So yesterday when he lied about taking hydroxychloroquine, you would think everyone would immediate think "another lie". But no. The news networks reported it as truth. Truth?  How stupid can they be?  Why would a lifelong coward like Trump take such a risky drug? He wouldn't. This is a moron who dines on McDonald's because he's afraid of real food. He rightly thinks people want to poison him. Now, I wish he were taking hydroxychloroquine, and I wish it would give him a heart attack. But he isn't, and it won't. However his moronic fans who believe everything he says are stupid enough to start swallowing these unpredictable pills and could become very sick or die. And it will he Trump's fault. Not that he cares if anyone dies from his fraudulent advice. This means that the gullible news will be complicit in their deaths because they reported that an obese, heart challenged old  fool took hydroxychloroquine with no ill effects, so they could assume they could do the same.
But he didn't, and they can't. But they don't know that because the news was wrong. This is one news story I don't want to follow. I hate Trump supporters, but not enough to see them sicken or die needlessly.

HIS BIGGEST WHOPPER YET.

Trump has just told one one of his most transparent lies ever. He insists he's taking hydroxychloroquine to prevent coronavirus. This is a total fabrication. First of all what corrupt doctor would prescribed this dangerous drug? There is none. Because he's not taking it. Why does he say he is? Because he or a crony has stock in this company and he wants huge sales to bring huge profits. But Americans, other than his moronic fans, are not going to take an unproven drug that leads to health problems and possibly death. So now this idiot has painted himself into a corner. He has to admit he isn't taking it and never was (unlikely, that would require truth.) Or he has to pretend he was,  but stopped using it for some bizarre excuse like it was under his pretend doctor's advice.  Or he's got to continue the lie, pretending to be taking it until he learns of so many ill effects among his gullible fans that there is an outcry about how possibly dangerous hydroxychloroquine is. Or best of all he comes down with coronavirus proving that even if he had been taking it, it was ineffective. At any rate, it will make another great anti-Trump commercial come election season.

BILLY'S LATEST BULL.

Not only is Attorney General William Barr corrupt, he's stupid. In announcing  he doesn't plan on indicting Biden and Obama does he think we can't see through this silly transparent ploy? There is no crime. He's such a fool he thinks this pathetic statement will make us think there is. I can just see him and Trump giggling like children as they work out this new and obvious fakery. Won't it be wonderful when we have a new Attorney General who has character, honor, and a brain?

IT'S NOT TRUMP'S FAULT.

It's not Trump's fault that he didn't pay any attention to the daily coronavirus warnings he got months before people started to die. It's not his fault that he didn't do something about our short supply of pps: masks, ventilators and gowns, It's not his fault that thousands died needlessly day after day, week after week while he golfed, napped, fired valuable people or watched TV. Whose fault is it? The WHO's. the CDC's, RCA's, the PTA's,  Barack's, Hillary's, Biden's, The Kardashian's, almost everybody's but his. Nobody told him the job of a president was to read and listen to others read important papers. Besides why are they making such a big deal out of all these deaths? They were mostly old people who would die soon anyway. And he didn't know any of them. That's why he didn't bother to go to the funerals. If Pence had died, he might have gone of the funeral or at least sent flowers. People are so mean. If he's such a bad president, why do so many people love him? True, they're the dregs of society, but they still have a vote. And why doesn't anyone understand that this virus is just a conspiracy. It won't end on voting day like his idiot son Eric said, but it can't last forever .  Still it's making lots of people sick or dead, and now that Trump has been pushing to re-open the country, it's possible thousands more will get sick or die. But even if they do, it's not Trump's fault.

TRUMP'S OPINIONS

Obama:     An  incompetent president.
Garland:    Not a good singer.
Monroe:    Not even pretty.
Einstein:    What a dummy.
Astaire:      A complete klutz.
Ali:            A second-rate boxer.
King:         A boring writer.
Thunberg.  A stupid kid.
Fauci.         A no-nothing quack.
Himself:  A stable genius.

THE LATEST FASHION IN LIARS.

I actually thought Trump's new press secretary Kayleigh McEnany was going to be a refreshing change from his previous liars, but I was wrong. During her first appearance she promised a reporter she would never lie to to them, and has nothing but since then. Sadly she's just another of Trump's lying blonde bimbos, all looks and no character, though this one seems to have brains she's unwilling to use. When Trump is tossed out of office in November (barring some clever ploys from Putin) I wonder what will happen to all those persons who sold their souls so cheaply.

A NEW TREND IN ADVERTISING?

When I was a child during the advent of television there were far fewer commercials. And among the best of them were those for Kraft Foods. They were calm and informative and displayed easy- to- follow recipes using their products. How times have changed. For years Kraft has done some of the worst commercials, and, of late, some of the most irresponsible. At the moment their most frequently run ad suggests that if your child refuses to eat healthful foods then feed the stubborn brat Kraft's Dinner, a completely low-nutrition macaroni and cheese concoction, with a few suspicious chemicals.  This is apparently their recipe for indulgent parenting. They are not alone: Oreida's solution for the same problem is French fries.

SOMEONE TRUMP WOULD REALLY ADMIRE

I'm sure today's evangelicals think that if they lived in the time of Jesus, they would be ardent followers. But they're followers and fans of Trump, which is about as far removed from the teachings of Jesus as possible. So, if they did live in Biblical times I think their hero would not be Jesus, but King Herod. Like Trump, he was paranoid and cruel. While Trump is jealous of Obama, Herod was jealous of Jesus and so upset when Christ was born that he decreed that any child under the age of two be murdered. There's a heartless, sadistic nut to represent every age.  Herod ran rampant in the time of Christ. Hitler ruled the 40s. Trump is the tyrant for today, And if you vote for him please don't pretend to have Christian values because it will be so obvious that you don't.

OF DUMB AND DUMBER, DUMBER.

Poor Eric Trump. He makes a fool of himself by confusing his cliches. And now he appears with Crazy Janine what's-her-name to declare that a world-wide virus will disappear after the election because it is, after all, a Democratic ploy. Are all the Trump children mad? Supposedly they're educated. I assume they didn't study science because they seem to know nothing about chemistry or medidice.  For that matter they are as ignorant about math as their father. He miscounted the attendees at his inauguration. Now Eric thinks 50,000 people attend dad's rallies, when it's nowhere near that figure. Junior has his own collection of fantasies, and Ivanka is too dumb to dream up any other than believing her husband is masculine and smart. Poor family. Years from now there will be so many books ridiculing this brain-challenged family.

THE MAN WITH THE MAX FACTOR MASK.

I for one am delighted that Trump refuses to wear a mask.  This means that every day brings new opportunities for him to come down with coronavirus. While this is a sad or at least uncomfortable fate for anyone else,  it is a welcome one for him who has already caused thousands of deaths with his ronny-come-lately response and his idiotic "cures". I can only imagine how pissed he will be when he tests positive, the number of people he will blame, his denials until he is hooked up to a ventilator after they scrape off his intrusive makeup, and how amazed that his idiotic fans will be to learn that how stupid he was to insist on being maskless. And if he unfortunately survives, his lying on a gurney will make a hilarious anti-Trump poster in the fall. I can hardly wait.

I call Trump "The Super Duper Dummy". He's at least 17 times stupider than anyone else in America. 

MILLIONS OF WOMAN KNOW HOW TO SAVE AMERICA.

Tara Reade doesn't feel that Joe Biden should be running on character. but she feels that Trump should? This bizarre woman wants the entire country to suffer for four more years in payment for two minutes she claims without proof she was uncomfortable. Joe, being a man of morals, says you should not vote for him if you believe her. That's stupid. As a male friend of mine said, "I wouldn't care if Biden reached into my pants and tickled my balls, I would still vote for him." If you think Reade is lying, vote for Biden. If you think she's telling the truth, vote for Biden, If you want to see America become a great country again, vote for Biden. If you want to see Trump cry, and blubber, and have a conniption fit and be carried out of the White House in a strait jacket by armed guards, vote for Biden.

IT'S AMAZING HOW CORRUPT 
   SOME MEN ARE.
FOR EXAMPLE TRUMP AND
   BURR AND BARR.

THE BRIGHT AND THE UNBRIGHT.

Today's coronavirus hearing with Dr. Bright was very informative for the most part. The snags were those few Republicans who were trying to kiss Trump's ass and relieve him of responsibility for his stupidity, Notable among them was the insensitive boor who rudely asked Dr. Bright how much money he made and practically suggested he was was stealing from the government. His questions will go down in the annals of idiocy. Anyway Bright was clear, concise, and  just the kind of expert, like Dr. Fauci, we need watching out for us.

HERE'S TO THE LADIES WHO PUNCH,

My blog is the only source I have to compliment the two women reporters who finally spoke truth to power and made Trump look like a damned fool and coward yesterday.  What a joy it was to see him become completely flustered and walk awkwardly away from the podium, calling his bullshit  Q andA  short. I hope this opens the door for more reporters to challenge this idiot and refuse to allow him to call perfectly legitimate questions "nasty".

GIVEN NO CHOICE.

Today Senator Kelly Loeffler instead of asking the health experts any valuable question about coronavirus, she used her time to redeem President Trump. She asked each of the four experts a question that they could not answer honestly: whether there was any truth in their having conflicts with President Trump. Naturally each of them said no, and suggested dealing with Trump was a piece of cake. Given the answers she knew she would force them into, she proudly tossed her Ann Coulter hair and sat back knowing she has sufficiently kissed Trump's butt.

FACTS I DON'T SEE IN THE NEWS.

Why is it such a secret where Tara Reade works or how much money she has? This is relevant to her claim. After all Christine Blasey Ford was a Professor of Psychology at Palo Alto University and Anita Hill was a respected lawyer and academic.  Putting themselves in the limelight was a brave, undesirable, and even frightening situation. They had nothing to gain but justice and doing the right thing. Sadly both were wrongly defeated: an all male panel for Anita; a biased Republican Senate for Christine. Both failures led to two of the creepiest, most unworthy judges ever on the Supreme Court. But what is Tara's story? What does she do? What has she got to gain? Is she just an honorable woman like Christine and Anita? Or has she found a way to profit from this much-delayed accusation?

TARA REDEEMED. NONSENSE!

Assuming that Tara Reade's accusations are true, which I totally doubt, there is something seriously wrong with a woman who is a past Putin worshipper who wants the Democratic nominee to withdraw from the presidential race out of spite because he supposedly tried to seduce her 27 years ago, something she hasn't mentioned till now. She wants this outcome based on sheer hearsay, with no witnesses, and no real proof against a man whose only complaint from women has been that he stood too close or sniffed their hair. Suddenly this mild-mannered fighter for women's rights becomes a beast who throws this woman against a wall and fingers her. Then when she rejects him he says something completely out of character. "You're nothing to me." It isn't even a logical sentence. If she isn't lying she would take a polygraph test,which she avoids by insisting he take one, too. Why? If she's telling the truth, hers would be enough. She would be redeemed and the fuss would be over. But then she would be out of the spotlight, something she does not want.

MORE GALL FROM KNOW-IT-ALL PAUL.

Today four of the country's leading leading medical authorities were interviewed by the Senate regarding coronavirus. While most senators seemed riveted and interested, Rand Paul sat like a petulant brat, rocking in his chair. After each of the four experts spoke at the Senate Health Hearing beginning with Dr. Anthony S, Fauci, the senators got to ask questions. Curly headed, bearded, and seemingly angry Rand Paul used his time to insult Dr. Fauci and deliver his own inexpert opinion on reopening schools and other areas of which he has little knowledge. Fauci responded with his usual calm, wise, and patient manner. I think Paul, the moronic eye doctor who previously wanted to know the name of the whistle blower should stick to, "Is this clearer, or is this?"

TIPS TO FUND RAISERS.

Every day I get a new plea for money from some political group or charity. When I can, I donate. To the Democrats, pet shelters, ACLU, PBS, St. Judes. But here is who I will never send a penny to:
l.  Scolds like You haven't donated yet or We haven't heard from you.
2. All we need is $350 more.
3.  Celebrities suggesting they give a damn.
4. Any ad showing a hurt or injured animal.
5. Any e-mail that doesn't include a mailing address (I send checks).
6  Any group that shows as their first amount choice $25. I send what I want.
7  Trick headlines like Now Mitch McConnell is really in trouble.
8  You haven't renewed your membership (I never had one)
9  Any group that pretends they want my opinion when they want my money

Never show me "before". Only show me "after".

GOOD GOLLY ( A SORT OF MOTHER'S DAY STORY)

I felt very sad about the death of Little Richard this Saturday at 87.  Not because I knew his music. I didn't. I mean I've heard. "Good Golly Miss Molly" and "Tutti Frutti" Who hasn't?  But they're not my taste. I felt sad because I once spent an unusual winter afternoon with Little Richard in New York City in January of 1994. I was in New York staying at an office-residence in the hopes of writing the lyrics to a musical (my musical taste). Little Richard and his entourage were staying there as well, conducting phone business at the bank of phones before the evening's performance. He was charming, sincere and only mildly flamboyant. He asked me questions about my life and seemed genuinely interested. While we chatted his bodyguards or aids seemed especially busy. There were about four of them: all tall, black, dressed beautifully and incredibly handsome. Each model-like assistant was a super-cool height of control until one got a disturbing phone call. This was January 17, 1994, at about 4:30, the day of the Northridge Earthquake in L.A. Suddenly most, who were from L.A., were in a panic to telephone their mothers. Not their wives or lovers first, but their mothers. It was both sweet and comical since all these macho men suddenly seemed so young. That was, of course, the end of my chat with Little Richard and I never did write that musical.  But how nice it was to meet somebody that famous and find out back then how unpretentious he was, and to find out this week what a long and successful life he deservedly enjoyed.

"WHO THE HELL IS VARSHA GANDIKOTA-NELLUTLA?"

He or she has an article in Salon today titled, "You Don't Owe Joe Biden Anything". The message seems to be to discourage you from voting for Joe Biden (I'm guessing the author is some Russian agent in service to Trump or another bitter Barnie bleeter.) At any other time I would say you don't owe your vote to Biden. But not this year. Not if you want to run the most corrupt president ever out of office. Not if you want someone in the oval office that doesn't lie around all day eating cheeseburgers and watching Fox News for political advice.  Not if you're fed up with a fat, flatulent fool whose stupidity and laziness has killed thousands of seniors and is sure to kill thousands more. Yes, you do owe Biden your vote. You owe it to him and all the American people who have put up with Trump's bullshit since the night he and his Russian pals managed to steal the election from a woman who would not only have been a far better president, but an actual president, which Trump never was and never will be. Yes you must vote for Biden. Not because you owe it to him, but because you owe it to yourself.

BE BETTER. VOTE BIDEN.

In November, are you really going to vote for Trump in the year that thousands of Americans died because of his laziness, inattention and stupidity? Are you really going to vote for a man that pretended to admire senior veterans, but refused to wear a face mask when he was supposedly honoring them? Are you really going to stand behind a petty whiner who constantly makes jealous comments about one of America's most honored presidents, Barack Obama? Are you really that bitter, angry and racist that nothing can redeem your faith in your country? Do you really feel that disappointed and discarded that you want a leader who will destroy your country or should I say complete its destruction? One more question: Aren't you tired of being a loser?

TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY.

I don't know who writes Tara Reade's scripts, but I doubt very much that a man trying to seduce a woman at the office and not wishing for her to report him or seek revenge would say to her, "You're nothing to me." That sounds much more like a retort that an important man would deliver to an insignificant employee who was trying to seduce him and failed. And I don't see it being said angrily but as a honest reprimand. I also see such a woman, in fear of her husband hearing of  the incident, telling him the employer has harassing her. Hence his naive newspaper comment. Pity MSNBC can't see any side but Tara's.

JACOB WOHL, SLIME BALL.

Accusing a respectable man of being a sexual predator can be profitable unless you have scruples. A woman who accused Dr.. Anthony Fauci of sexual assault has admitted that she was paid lie about Dr. Fauci by two of President Trump's henchmen. The woman claims that right-wing devotees Jack Burkman  and Jacob Wohl encouraged her to accuse Fauci as an assailant using details from a high school assault she actually experienced from another attacker. The woman Diana A. not only gave up her false claim but attempted to record evidence against them when they pushed her to find another false accuser against Dr. Fauci and revealed they have pulled similar deceits against other leading figures.

WHAT'S YOUR GAME, SISTER.

Interesting. Tara Reade wants Biden to drop out of the race because he allegedly kissed her neck and fingered Trump's favorite word for a woman's crotch.  I guess she doesn't mind Trump staying in the race despite his many allegations. Now why would a fan of Sanders and Putin cause this "scandal" now? And why are her confidantes to this assault only one friend, one brother, and one alleged mother?  And why did she choose ex-Fox arch conservative Megyn Kelley as her first interview? And, if  it's true why not take a lie-detector and prove it, rather than insisting Biden has to take one too? Because she knows he won't stoop that low and she's lying. She also told Megyn Kelly that at the time she was in her mid-twenties. 29 is late 20s and I have read as old as 63. Another lie. And what's her motive?  Help Trump get elected? Punish Biden for winning over Bernie? Fame? What she considers fortune? What's your guess?

DAMN,WHAT A SCAM!

Apparently enough suckers have bought the overpriced placebo Prevagen that the company can now afford to hire models to pretend that that it actually works, which studies have shown that it doesn't. One shill even claims that he now has the memory of an elephant. Wow! That's some false claim. This is such a prosperous scam that several other pharmaceuticals have leaped on the wagon.  I admit it. I fell for this jellyfish nonsense in the early days. Not only didn't it help my memory, but it made me nauseated.

The FTC argued that Quincy Bioscience made false claims that Prevagen improves memory and is "clinically shown" to work. However, only one study has been published, and the study shows no effect of Prevagen on memory.

SHORT SENTENCE.

Hey guess what? Lying to the FBI is no longer a serious crime. Not if you're a friend of Trump and Putin.

THE POSSIBLY DEADLY CHEESEBURGER.

I heard on the news today that one of Trump's valets has come down with coronavirus. The valet is the one who serves him his food. I can't tell you how upset I would be if I heard in a week or so that Trump himself has come down with the virus. I am sure that millions of Americans would be just as disturbed as I to learn that our brilliant and caring leader has been laid low by this terrible plague, and that being a very old man, with lots of complications he has never revealed, he is is great danger of dire consequences. Oh, my,  if only he had worn a face mask until the valet left the room. I guess now we can only hope for the best.

E-MAILS THAT ANNOY ME

I am a loyal Democrat and have made many donations to the party But every single day I still get more pleas for money. They're all annoying. If I gave to all of them I would have been broke ages ago. But the most annoying ones are these. 1. The one that lists donations starting with $25. I will donate what I want,  thank you. 2. The e-mail that scolds you for not responding to their previous pleas. How dare you, for that you get nothing, 3. The emails that never include a mailing address. I send checks.I don't use my credit card for donations. If you don't give me an address, you don't get anything. And by the way, lots of seniors send checks so you're closing off lots of possible donations by demanding only credit card payments.

I TOLD YOU SO.

This post is directed at Trump fans. Not that any ever read my blog,  but you never know. Anyway, I've been saying for ages that Trump fans, especially those dolts who attend his rallies are among the country's most gullible citizens. You love Trump. But you have no idea how little he thinks of you. The proof is in the coronavirus. To suit his ego, he doesn't care if you take an unapproved drug or borrow a  hypodermic needle from your kids to shoot Lysol in your veins. And now he's s bored with the pandemic, he doesn't want to be involved at all. So all you Hillary haters, hayseeds, gullible goosesteppers, and  evangelicals, can fend for yourself as the plague comes sweeping across the plains carrying off your beloved Grannie, Uncle Oscar and maybe even a few of the family's beloved children. Donald doesn't care. He'll be busy packing away cheeseburgers, watching Fox and porno and avoiding important meetings. And being completely confident that the idiots who voted for him in 2016 will vote for him in 2020— at least those who are still alive.
