As long as the Democrats were going to be able to cheat Trump out of an election I honestly believe he won, I must confess I’m glad that they wound up Biden. It’s not that I believe he is in any way better-suited to govern the nation than any of the other contenders, including Beto O'Rourke, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg, Deval Patrick, Andrew Yang, Michael Bloomberg, Amy Klobuchar, Cory Booker, Julian Castro, Tom Steyer or Bernie Sanders, but because he was and remains the only Democrat who can make me laugh.

I mean, when Fox’s Peter Doocy hollered out a question about the scandal swirling around Hunter, there were a thousand boring things that those former contenders might have said, but the President-elect is the only one who would have said “You’re a one-horse pony.”

We can assume he meant to say a “one-trick pony,” but it’s not always wise to make assumptions about what the man has in mind.

For instance, a few weeks ago, he apparently told a group of black community activists (read Communists) that America’s future was doomed because by 2040, white Americans of European descent would be in the minority, while blacks and Latinos would be running things.

I happen to agree with the spirit of that statement. I would think that an America in which white people would constitute a minority would be a very bleak place. But I can’t see Joe Biden, who is more beholden to black voters than anyone in recent memory, sharing that opinion. At least not publicly. What’s more, I am told that none other than Kamala Harris was seated next to him (or at least no more than six feet away) and that she didn’t say anything.

Maybe she remained silent because she didn’t want to further piss off someone she has already described as both a racist and rapist. Or perhaps she was thinking, “2040?! In your dreams, old man. This proud black woman will be running things long before then, honkey.”

Because Biden is obviously somewhere along the path to senility, I suppose it’s possible that when he dismisses all rumors and evidence regarding his son as “Russian disinformation,” he believes it. But it is difficult to imagine how a totally sane person could dismiss what’s been found on Hunter’s laptop as a hoax.

And according to Rudy Giuliani, what is on the hard drive, in addition to all the financial shenanigans, are graphic photos of naked young girls. Apparently, the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree, except that apparently, unlike the old man, the son doesn’t stop at sniffing their hair.


It figures that Gavin Newsom would appoint a Latino, California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, to serve out the rest of Sen, Harris’s term. It also figures that Padilla is currently being investigated for misuse of state funds.


By a vote of 359-53, the House passed a 5,593 page bill that was intended to throw a lifeline to the working stiffs who have been steamrollered by the Covid lockdowns.

On Fox, for comparative purposes, they kept showing a copy of the bill next to five copies of Leo Tolstoy’s “War and Peace.” It’s my bet that even fewer people will read the bill, although I suspect it’s a little more readable because of the surprises it contains. Most people, after all, already know that Napoleon isn’t going to conquer Russia. The big question with the novel, as I recall after all these years, is whether the book would ever end.

Although we were all led to believe that Congress was passing a bill that was aimed at helping unemployed Americans, it merely sends them a $600 check to tide them over until next Tuesday.

The rest of the $900 billion is spent in ways that will have you shaking your head, especially when you realize those are your tax dollars.

It seems that $750 million is going to help build border walls for Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, Oman and Tunisia. Apparently, the only country that Congress feels should have open orders is our own.

The goons who control the nation’s purse strings are also sending $34 million to promote democracy programs in Venezuela and $231 million to pay down the national debt of Sudan.

And even $10 million for gender programs in Pakistan. Speaking of which, Bob Hunt sent along a meme that suggests that instead of sending Pakistan all that money, we should send them a million liberals with gender studies degrees.

I’ll admit that I was hoping that — possibly on page 5,592 — there would be a few bucks set aside, now that I finally know how to work my device, to buy me a DVD of Richard Jeni’s “Platypus Man.” But, no, $231 million for Sudan, but not a nickel for an aging patriot. Isn’t it always that way?

Our federal government is so screwed up, it doesn’t even know how to make charitable donations. All those pages and not a single mention of the Salvation Army. But will we even receive a thank-you card from the Lebanese, the Tunisians or the Pakistanis? You’re damn right we won’t.

Worse yet, these are the same guys who are always voting with Red China at the U.N., and against us.


As you all know, I do not do any of the things that Silicon Valley wants me to do. I do not Tweet, I do not Facebook or YouTube. And I definitely do not ZOOM. But it seems that millions of you do, not knowing that ZOOM is spying on you and feeding your information back home to Beijing.

What’s more, if you say anything unflattering about Red China or even refer to the tragic events that took place at Tiananmen Square, you will be shut down within 60 seconds.


In Massachusetts, murderers and rapists will move to the head of the line when it comes to being inoculated against Covid-19. It figures that in a liberal state, the legislators would see to it that prison inmates received protection before the inmates of nursing homes.

I have no doubt that New York’s Cuomo and De Blasio sent Massachusetts a couple of high fives.


It seems that Never-Trumper Fox contributor A.B. Stoddard is the latest of the network’s females to sign up for Botox treatments. It didn’t help. What I don’t understand is how it is that one, women think that having a face that appears to belong on a department store mannequin is an improvement on what Nature has wrought; and two, they forget that the face is closely connected to the neck. And unless you intend to go through life with your tell-all neck swathed in scarves, your secret is out.


If I were Donald Trump, I would veto the defense bill if the nullification of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act isn’t included.

That is the part of the bill that protects the lords of Silicon Valley from lawsuits, which means they can censor news and silence Conservatives without fear of being sued.

It so happens that I think there is far less chance that we’ll need a military to defend us against invasion, which I have to believe should be its only mission, than that we need to be protected from the thought police.

As bad as I think China is, first things first. It is high time we stopped being bullied by the likes of Jeff Bezos, Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerburg, who feel they can trample all over the First Amendment with impunity.

If I want Fascists controlling my life, I’ll vote for them.


It seems that 70 cadets at West Point have been caught cheating on an online calculus test.

Instead of being booted out as a disgrace to the Academy, they are now enrolled in an ethics class.

When added to the classes where cadets are taught to be ashamed of being white, being male and, probably, being American, I wonder if they have time left in which they learn to wage war.


I’m not involved with the Stock Market, but if I were going to become involved, I’d want to go with the guy who advised his clients last December to invest in hand cleanser, toilet paper, plexiglass and plywood.
