A Dud Masquerading as a Bombshell
For weeks, the Leftists in Congress and on cable TV could barely contain their excitement. They were like a bunch of little kids waiting for Santa Claus to land on their roof.

But this particular gift-bearer wasn’t a jolly roly-poly guy in a red suit and a white beard. Instead, he was a sleazy-looking character wearing a $2,000 blue suit, a creep you wouldn’t let your kid get within a hundred miles of for fear he’d be corrupted by osmosis.
I’m referring to Michael Cohen, the man who used to be Donald Trump’s personal attorney, as well as his one-time campaign manager. He was better known as Trump’s fixer, which meant he was in charge of paying off Trump’s one-night stands and probably acted as his bagman every time Trump the Builder had to pay off New York union bosses in order to get a project off the ground.
During his opening monologue before a congressional committee, Cohen got the mouths of people like Chairman Elijah Cummings and political hack Adam Schiff watering as he said “I am ashamed because I know what Donald Trump is. He is a racist, he is a con man and he is a cheat.”
Red meat for the Democrats or so it would seem. But I noticed that, like all the other condemnations of the President, Cohen’s lacked details. What did Trump do or say to suggest he was a racist? Was it simply that he wanted to close the border to illegal aliens and that he didn’t think it was a great idea to allow millions of Muslims to enter the country when Islam is the sworn enemy of western civilization in general and the United States in particular?
By the time that Cohen stopped answering questions, the Democrats must have wished they’d just sent him straight to jail, and no $200 for passing Go.
For one thing, he denied that Trump had done any colluding with Russia. What’s more, he testified that Trump had never asked him to lie to Congress.
It was almost as if Trump had choreographed it. The Democrats had to feel as if they’d been set-up in a sting operation. How was it possible that a man who had called Trump all those bad names couldn’t bring himself to close the deal by providing Schumer and Pelosi with the necessary weapons with which to impeach their existential nemesis?
For the President, the worst thing that came out of Cohen’s performance is the fact that he had hired this sleazeball to be his lawyer. But, let’s face it, surrounding himself with the best people is clearly not one of Donald Trump’s many strengths.
Otherwise, he would have never let the likes of Jeff Sessions, Rex Tillerson, Omarosa Manigault-Newman, Ryan Zinke, David Shulkin, H.R. McMaster, Sally Yates, Tom Price, Reince Priebus or Rod Rosenstein, within a thousand miles of his administration.
I personally find Cohen’s labeling Trump a racist particularly obnoxious. It is an insult that’s been tossed around willy-nilly for far too long, and nearly always by people like Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, Maxine Waters, Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Elijah Cummings, Hank Johnson, Ocasio-Cortez, Sheila Jackson Lee and Louis Farrakhan, who actually fit the description.
So far as I can see, the most racist acts that anyone can accuse Trump of having committed is doing everything in his power to nullify all of his predecessor’s abominable legacy items.
In other words, the very things that cause some of us to regard Trump as a literal godsend.
Although I wish that Fox didn’t waste so much airtime providing platforms for Democrats to parrot their talking points, I suppose that’s their idea of being fair and balanced. But making the viewers put up with mindless filibusters is bad enough when it’s an officeholder. When it’s someone who has no say in passing legislation and is merely a paid propagandist, someone identified as a Democratic strategist, I think they owe it to their loyal viewers not to have to put up with voices that grate like fingernails on a blackboard. I’m referring specifically to the adenoid kids, Marie Harf and Jessica Tarlov.
Every time I hear either of them, I find myself wondering what I could have possibly done in a former life to deserve this torment.
Someone sent me a photo of A O-C with the caption: “Great news! My IQ tests came back negative.”
Speaking of which, it struck me that the three blocs that constitute the cheerleaders for Socialism in America are the very rich, the very poor and the very stupid.
I’m glad that President Trump walked out of the summit in Hanoi. The so-called master of the deal understood that no deal is much better than a bad deal.
Although I never believed that Kim Jong-un would get rid of his nuclear program, I’m glad President Trump tried his level best to convince him it would be in his and his country’s best interests. The problem is that Kim is no more concerned with North Korea’s best interests than Nicolás Maduro is with Venezuela’s.
Without his nukes, nobody would pay Kim the slightest bit of attention. Without nukes, North Korea is Albania, but with a worse climate. And as you may have noticed, President Trump is not conducting summit conferences with Albania’s President Ilir Meta.
Former Coast Guardsman Christopher Paul Hasson, 49, has been indicted on gun and drug charges all because he had a hit list that included Democratic big wigs Pelosi, Schumer, Gillibrand, Warren, Booker and Harris, along with MSNBC’s Chris Hayes and Joe Scarborough, and CNN’s Chris Cuomo and Van Jones.
Frankly, I was feeling a little guilty because I was thinking he may have somehow come under the control of my brain waves. But, then, I realized he didn’t have Maxine Waters, Richard Blumenthal, Eric Swalwell, Adam Schiff, Don Lemon or Chris Matthews, on his list, so I can no longer take credit.
After I recently suggested that people who are found to have given false testimony should serve the same prison term as the one their innocent victim would have received if he or she had been found guilty, I was called out for it.
My prosecutor wrote: “This would mean that anyone who testified ‘against’ someone in a trial, who was then acquitted could then be prosecuted for ‘lying,’ since their testimony was obviously not believed by the jury, hence was ‘lies.’”
People should know by now that it’s not as easy as it may look to make me say, “Uncle!” In my own defense, I wrote: “If they were honestly mistaken, it would not be a crime, no matter what the jury decided. But if the witness knowingly lied, as Professor/Political Operative Christine Blasey Ford did, when she testified that Brett Kavanaugh raped her, I would have her serving time for rape.
"The fact that she testified that she had been so severely traumatized by the event that she had never again been able to board a plane was proven to be a giant whopper with fries; she had actually spent more time airborne than Charles Lindbergh and Buz Aldrin put together. She even flew from California to Washington to testify. That, alone, should have nullified her entire testimony, but for the liberal members of the Senate committee, nullifying Kavanaugh was more important than the truth.
"What I could never figure out is why Mrs. Ford had gone to the trouble of coming up with such a weird, easily disproven lie. I mean, what does a rape have to do with flying unless the crime took place at 35,000 feet?”
Someone who agreed with my take on Prof. Ford and the multitude of Pinocchio’s in public life wrote to say “People who do despicable things need to be punished severely! I need to pray more.”
I replied: “Or maybe God just needs to listen more.”
“Or both?”
“Or perhaps because God isn’t as young as He used to be, you just need to pray louder.”
