Today’s Campaign Update
(Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Funniest Story of the Week – This is a little off the beaten path for the Campaign Update, but it’s too awesome to ignore. Turns out that trying to stage a Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in China is a little more challenging than organizers had originally hoped. Tone deaf singer Katy Perry was scheduled to perform at the event, but was unable to obtain a visa when Chinese officials were informed that, during a 2015 concert in Taipei, Ms. Perry wore a dress adorned with great big sunflowers. Given that the sunflower has been adopted as a symbol by anti-government rebels, the government has decided that Ms. Perry is now persona non grata in the Land of the Rising Sun. #Irony
California Dreamin’, er, nightmare – Public officials in California continue to get caught abusing their constituents, but somehow the situation out there just keeps getting worse. The Desert Sun reports that two towns, Coachella and Indio, in a money-raising scheme, partnered with the law firm of Silver and Wright to prosecute their citizens for warrants outstanding on minor crimes. The deal with the shysters provided that, not only would the offending citizen be on the hook for the fines related to their violations, they would also get billed for massive legal fees charged by the law firm. Thus, one guy who owed a $900 fine for expanding his living room without a permit got hit with legal bills for $26,000. When he appealed, the legal bill went up to $42,000. In Texas, city leaders who tried a scam like this one would soon have their butts severely kicked. In California, they’ll probably all get re-elected.
ESPN Continues Its Assault On Middle America – Long-time ESPN host Scott Van Pelt proved this week that the folks at ESPN don’t care if anyone outside of the social justice warrior community watches their programming or not, having this to say about ordinary Americans who get upset about all the leftwing political commentary that continues to infest the dying network’s programming:
“If you truly wanna boycott the NFL and you wanna boycott ESPN, the notion that some guy sitting out there, or gal, and they decide, ‘you know what, I’m gonna cut my entire cable package because ESPN gave an award on a made-up show in July because there’s no sports, to a woman who used to be a man, so I’m now not gonna have any cable TV at all and I’m gonna sit around at night and read books by candlelight like olden times because of that,’ that’s not happening. And if you did that, than you’re so dumb that I can’t even pray for you because you’re beyond hope.” Alrighty then.
Someone Give Ted Lieu a Pacifier, Quick! – Terminally insipid California Democrat Cong. Ted Lieu tossed a fit on CNN Friday evening after Attorney General Jeff Sessions made some pretty funny opening remarks at a speech before the Federalist Society in Washington. Sessions, mocking the Democrats’ unending Russia collusion fantasy play, started his speech by facetiously asking, “Is Ambassador Kislyak in the room?” Sessions asked the crowd. “Before I get started here. Any Russians? Anybody been to Russia? Got a cousin in Russia or something?” Funny stuff, given the idiocy the AG has had to endure from Democrat sleazebags this year over a meeting he had fifteen months ago with the Russian Ambassador while still a Senator.
But Ted Lieu, who is never amused, was predictably not amused. “Jeff Sessions still doesn’t get it,” Lieu told CNN’s fake host Wolf Blitzer, “He is not in trouble because he happened to be in places where there were Russians.” Lieu of course ignores that his Democrat colleagues on several congressional committees have tried to make a huge deal of the fact that, last November, Sessions did happen to be at the same reception as the Russian Ambassador. But, to paraphrase the great Forrest Gump, Ted Lieu is as Ted Lieu does. And that’s all I got to say about that.
One must be careful how one criticizes anything having to do with the Clintons if one wishes to remain healthy – Campaign workers on both the Bernie Sander and Hillary Clinton campaigns claimed on Friday they were sexually harassed by campaign officials, and were disillusioned with the fact that neither campaign appropriately addressed their situations. But, the Clinton campaign worker, obviously in fear for her safety, hastily adds, “When I criticize the Hillary campaign, I am not criticizing her.” Good catch there. You should be ok, for now.
Just another day in leftwing lunacy America.
That is all.
In Ohio he, she or it, would be made a supreme court 'justice'.
Japan is the “land of the rising sun,” not China.
Embarrassing.
BTTT
Behind the scenes, she's plotting to run as Al Franken's veep candidate. It will be the "FrankenStein" candidacy, impossible to beat by ordinary mortals.
Headline is misleading. Article doesn't mention Jill Stein. Unless I missed something.
Or was that just a come-on or a hook to get us to read the other stuff?
Inquiring minds want to know....
Lieu would give him a run for his money on who's the bigger idiot.
Where does the author say that?
I couldn’t find where he had said “Land of the Rising Sun”.
“SunFLOWER” does not equal “Land of the Rising Sun”.
Whoops! I found it.
NEVERMIND. Insert Emily Latela picture here.
“”so I’m now not gonna have any cable TV at all and I’m gonna sit around at night and read books by candlelight like olden times””
Who’s the dumb one ESPN....cutting off cable makes the lights go out?
