It seems like Kanye’s deranged behavior is here to stay in 2019. Through 2018, Kanye had alot of ups and downs in his personal life. The rapper has seemed to have fallen from stardom due to his outspoken personality and random outburst. Because of his actions he has lost the respect of the peers in the world of music. It seems as though his arrogance continues to grow and rubbed people throughout the year. It even went as for to typical Kanye finding ways to piss people off at Cher opening. Most of the animosity has come by way of...

Happy New Year to all of my most favorite deplorables!No, I didn’t make it till midnight, but then I barely remember the last New Year’s Eve I did. In addition to being tired around 10:30 or so I also had zero interest in watching any of the network buffoons assembled on various rooftops and concrete canyons of New York City waiting on the drop of a crystal ball. Nevertheless, 2018 was a pretty awesome year. Expect more of the same from 2019. Here is my primary prediction for the coming year: Dozens of dolts will announce they’re running as the...

Happy New Year from the West Coast as I head to bed at 9pm at night so I can make sure the patients make it to their appointments in the morning. May you reach your home sober enough, and may 2019 exceed all expectations.

A mysterious grand jury subpoena case has been working itself through the D.C. courts since August. Doughty reporting by Politico linked the grand jury case to special counsel Robert Mueller. Some of us, connecting the dots, wondered whether Mueller’s antagonist in this secret subpoena battle might be President Donald Trump himself. Speculation heightened two weeks ago when the D.C. Circuit cleared an entire floor of reporters assembled for the oral argument, in order to protect the identity of the litigants. Four days later, the D.C. Circuit judges burst the speculative bubble with a decision that halfway revealed the identity of...

Year end news: the Democrats finally found an old white guy billionaire they can love. That’s right, Michael Bloomberg, the man who first ran and won New York’s mayoral race as a “Republican” and later as an Independent has decided he might want to run for President - as a Democrat! Why not run the table? Michael Bloomberg: demonstrating the need for his ‘Sugary Drinks Portion Cap Rule’ He’s still mad about the New York Court of Appeals throwing his statute out so he’s going to run for Head Nanny in order to right that egregious wrong. Of course he’ll have...

More than two dozen women and men who worked on Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign are seeking a meeting with the senator and his top political advisers to “discuss the issue of sexual violence and harassment on the 2016 campaign, for the purpose of planning to mitigate the issue in the upcoming presidential cycle,” according to a copy of letter obtained by POLITICO. “In recent weeks there has been an ongoing conversation on social media, in texts, and in person, about the untenable and dangerous dynamic that developed during our campaign,” they wrote. Organizers of the effort said they did...

Why not Lt. Col. Allen West for the next Secretary of Defense? He's old-school, no-nonsense, and if President Donald Trump nominates a black conservative to lead the U.S. armed forces, the Left will go in violence mode, don't you think? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_West_(politician)

Dear American: Pursuant to your request, I will attempt to clear up questions you have about the Federal Reserve Bank (FED). I spent much time researching the FED and these are the shocking and revealing conclusions. Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution states that Congress shall have the power to coin (create) money and regulate the value thereof. Today however, the FED, which is a privately owned company, controls and profits by printing money through the Treasury, and regulating its value. The FED began with approximately 300 people or banks that became owners (stockholders purchasing stock at $100 per...

Things I never knew about when I was young enough to fully enjoy them: December 30th is International Bacon Day. When I was younger I could eat all the bacon I wanted with neither short or long term consequences. Now I must indulge my bacon urges only periodically.Butt if you can still afford to do so, by all means go ahead and enjoy bacon all day long.  Breakfast:Brunch: Lunch: Dinner: Snacks: And nightcap:IBD (that’s International Bacon Day, not Irritable Bowel Disease) is sort of a combination of the Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday tradition of overindulging in food and the New Year’s Eve...

Just had to get this off my chest. This "fashion" is epidemic at the Chicago office where I work.

If you just pulled your PPH (pink pussy hat) out of storage in anticipation of next month’s “Women’s March” in either Chicago or San Francisco you might want to make other plans. Both cities have cancelled their planned marches, for somewhat different reasons. What do you mean there will be no gathering of pink pussy brains this year to protest the patriarchy?Chicago organizers cited “logistical issues” but as board member Sara Kurensky conceded, to “further distance the Chicago group from national Women’s March leaders” was an additional “side benefit.” Why? …infighting across the national Women’s March movement arose after Nation...

Can anyone give advice on finding music for downloading? I'm getting to the point of finishing copying my CDs on to a memory stick, so I'd like to move on to finding songs via the 'net that I can just download and copy.

She just left, she got very heated and angry with me. We were debating the state of the economy and the effects on minorities and she started spewing vile curse words and invective on Christmas Day. Wow. Threw the Christmas cake on the ground. She's 35-years old, works in finance in Morristown, NJ and New York City. I'm perplexed this holiday season. Now, I just want to stay home and just watch TV or something. Should I bring them over again? Anyway, Merry Christmas.

FULL TITLE: New York Times Wants To Have Credit Card Companies Monitor Sales Of Guns And Ammo. What Could Ever Go Wrong? The New York Times ran an article today that opens a new front in the progressive dream of restricting and eventually banning gun ownership. The story is headlined How Banks Unwittingly Finance Mass Shootings: A New York Times examination of mass shootings since the Virginia Tech attack in 2007 reveals how credit cards have become a crucial part of the planning of these massacres. There have been 13 shootings that killed 10 or more people in the last...

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.  And this shall be a sign unto you; ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of...

“Louisa Jespersen and Maren Ueland no doubt learned in whatever Scandinavian universities they attended, since those universities were no doubt as saturated as universities everywhere else in the Western world with moral relativism and contemptuous of absolutes, that there is no dispute between people that can’t be settled by mutually respectful “dialogue,” and that the troubles in the world today are primarily the fault of the U.S. and Israel. So why should two girls from Scandinavia have anything to worry about in Morocco? “Jespersen and Ueland no doubt also learned that Islam is a religion of peace, and that only...

A most Happy Birthday to all the Christmas, and near Christmas, babies in Freeperland. Today I am celebrating the 21st anniversary of my 39th birthday. And as I have heard all my life, Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas.

Marshmallows scream “Christmas!” They needn’t come from bags, apparently you can make them yourself. And if you are truly OCD you can even make them into marshmallow snowflakes. What a great gift for all the, um, snowflakes in your life.They come in multiple flavors of the season: chocolate caramel, peppermint, gingerbreadas well as multiple species:But is there any marshmallow as cute and fun as the snowmen? When I saw these little guys I immediately recognized them as a modern adaptation of the puffy little Christmas decorations I made one year when I was in high school. I tracked their provenance...

Ever since former Attorney General Jeff Sessions voluntarily recused himself from having oversight of any of the 2016 election-related investigations at the Department of Justice—including the Mueller special counsel—those investigations have been under the authority of his chief lieutenant, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. But now a major shift has just happened at the DOJ. Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker will now take over command of these investigations from Rosenstein. Whitaker will not recuse himself, meaning the oversight of the Mueller probe and all the other 2016-related investigations can now pass from Rosenstein to Whitaker. Many Trump supporters are understandably...

On January 3, current House Speaker Paul Ryan gets to retire at the ripe old age of 48, but don’t worry, as an entrenched Washington politician, we won’t be finished with him at that point. He has many years of lobbying—for six or seven figure salaries—ahead of him until he inevitably is recycled by the GOP establishment to do what he does best: undermine and sabotage the “America First” agenda of President Donald Trump. Ryan has done such a poor job that it has become impossible even for the paid sycophants of Conservative, Inc. to whitewash his record. As House...
