Hurricane Maxine is a "monster" threatening a direct hit: “I wake up in the middle of the night and all I can think about is: I’m gonna get him.”But don’t worry, Hurricane Maxine, aka Auntie Fa, has an evacuation plan. Of course it’s the same plan she’s had since prior to President Trump’s inauguration so I can’t speak to its efficaciousness: “Impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment!” But thanks to her cosmetic surgeon and makeup artist at least the Democrats have a fresh new face to front the Resistance.Maxine Waters, Glamour’s Woman of the Year…War is peace.

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) That Bob Woodward’s a saint! Wait, he said what about John Brennan? Oh, uh, that Bob Woodward’s a skunk! – Look for the Obama sycophant tune about Bob Woodward and his new book start to change today, as it was revealed overnight that his book contains a damaging allegation about Obama’s rancid CIA Director John Brennan. Woodward’s book alleges that Brennan endorsed the fake Trump Dossier paid for by the Clinton Campaign and DNC late in 2016, something Brennan has denied doing. Woodward’s allegation about Brennan is of course based on nothing...

The Sun of a Beach Mouse If you own a house on the beach on Perdido Key you just got screwed to the wall by Escambia County in sunny Florida, sometimes referred to as LA (Lower Alabama). It’s a shame how the liberals have begun to pollute a once conservative enclave in Sunny Florida. Escambia County is proposing a non-ad valorem (NAV) levy on the rich residents of Perdido Key for the protection of the Perdido Key Beach Mouse. It’s basically a soak the rich levy and it’s illegal. They could use tax revenue but in Florida local governments have...

Citing the "common interests we share with China," eighty California State Assembly members have unanimously passed a bill to declare the legislature's support for "a mutual defense treaty to deal with the threat posed to both our nations by the Trump regime." Assembly member Evan Low (D-Campbell) said "the Trump Administration's policies constitute a mortal danger to every Californian. It is our natural right to sever the political bonds with his tyranny and seek new guards for our liberties. Given the military might of the armed forces controlled by Trump it is imperative that we, much like the confederation of...

Move over Radio City Rockettes!  Your competition has arrived.  On page one of today's Wall Street Journal is a terrific pic of North Korean women soldiers doing some mighty fine high-kicking for their military parade. Now copyright restrictions don't allow me to show those pics on this thread, but click over to Google Images using the keywords: north korea women soldiers parade Did Chairman Kim prepare this non-nuke display of beauty and athleticism especially for his friend, The Donald? Your comments please...

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is going “all-in” for the reelection of Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) despite the formidable cloud of criminality overhanging the Senator. Late last year his bribery trial resulted in a hung jury. Clinton will speak at a fancy fund-raiser for Menendez in October. “I feel we are kindred spirits,” Clinton said. “Both of us have been unfairly criticized for our politics. The whole corruption case against Bob for the special favors he did for a constituent sought to punish him for behavior that is typically overlooked. Should a constituent be denied a senator’s services merely...

Ha! It looks like two (or more) can play the Deep Quote game popularized by the anonymous New York Times "I Am Part of the Resistance" op-ed. This round is compliments of Doug Ross: CONFESSION: I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the New York Times “I work for The New York Times but like-minded colleagues and I have vowed to thwart parts of its agenda and its worst inclinations, like Holocaust-denial.”Doug Ross @ Journal is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed essay. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior editor whose...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Vegas oddsmakers have set the over/under on its survival at 13-1/2 days. – Donald Trump’s star – which has been destroyed nutjob Democrats twice since 2016, has been restored once again on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Workers reset the star on Saturday in the face of a vote by the West Hollywood City Council in early August to have the star permanently removed. The Walk of Fame, however, is administered by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, whose President, Leron Gubler, had this to say about the matter: “Any star, which is...

So, this past week the Guam government and the National Weather Service warned us about the monster typhoon of all monster typhoons. "Prepare to die! We're gonna have 250mph winds! Your house will be picked up by the wind and be blown all the way to Malaysia! It'll be a horrible death!" It turns out they shouldn't have even canceled school. What a massively wrong prediction. There is no cat-5 typhoon making a direct hit on the island. There is a tropical storm passing to the north of the island. We'll get 45 mph winds and 4 to 5 inches...

Have a good night's rest, America, knowing skilled professionals at your Deep State agencies are protecting your family, your rights, elected officials, and permanent officials.

As we move closer to the mid-term election day, the stream of favorable economic news following the Republican tax cuts and President Trump's moves toward deregulation has spurred former President Obama to step forward to try to make the case that his policies were the real source of the current boom. In a speech at the University of Illinois, Obama attempted to persuade people that "the credit for the prosperity that is breaking out today truly belongs to me. The GOP tax cuts wouldn't have been as effective if taxes hadn't been so high during my term. Likewise for the...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) There had to be one at some point. – Holy cow, we had an actual slow news day on Saturday! Yes, friends, for literally the first time since The Campaign Update was initiated in July of 2016, we did not have multiple major news cycles in a single day. The biggest news was that Serena Williams, the greatest women’s tennis player in history, lost in the U.S. Open finals to Naomi Osaka, and decided to blame it all on the umpire. Williams was completely dominated in the match by Naomi Osaka, who...

After the smoke cleared from last week’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearings all I could focus on was this: in a country of over 325 million people…this is the best we can do? It struck me how much our politician class has in common with actors: someone else writes the lines for them, they memorize and recite them (or sometimes just read them, if they have a good teleprompter) on camera and wait for the positive reinforcement that comes with the reviews. And most of them seem more preoccupied with their next starring role than the one they’re currently playing.Meh, they...

Former president of Planned Parenthood Gloria Feldt told a Cornell University audience that “abortion gives women an equal seat at life’s table. Putting all of the burden of child-bearing and birthing on women violates the Constitution’s equal protection clause. Abortion is the remedy. Freeing ourselves of the obligations imposed on us by a patriarchal society is the only way we can enjoy the same power that men have monopolized through a discriminatory reproductive system.” Feldt’s remarks mirrored those of former First Daughter Chelsea Clinton who also advocated an economic rationale for preserving the court-granted right of reluctant would-be mothers to...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) To all Republicans: Celebrate! Barack Obama has returned! – The return of The One to the national stage on Friday had liberal nitwits all over the country shivering with goosebumps. Just the sound of Barack Obama’s droning voice reading his prepared script – written by a team of other people – from his ever-present TelePrompter always sends the lefties among us into orgasmic social media frenzies. But the truth is that the Return of The One should have all Republicans celebrating in the streets this morning, and all the Democrat candidates on...

Well, it’s official: Barack Hussein Obama is back on the campaign trail, as evidenced by his speech yesterday at the University of Illinois. Opening line: “It is good to be home. It’s good to see corn, beans. I was trying to explain to somebody as we were flying in, that's corn. That's beans, they were very impressed at my agricultural knowledge.” It would indeed be good to have Obama back in Illinois where he belongs. But trust me, he doesn’t know beans about corn, or most any thing else that fuels the economy of the greatest nation on earth.The most...

Fresh from his preposterous antics in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the Kavanaugh nomination to the Supreme Court in which he characterized himself as a "Spartacus fighting against tyranny," Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) brushed aside Wall Street Journal reporter Byron Tau's attempt to ask him a question about it, asserting that "it is unconstitutional for anyone to question me about anything I said in Congress in any other place." Booker's heroic moment came when he made a show of releasing what he called "wrongly classified documents that Republicans are trying to hide from the American people. I know that...
