The Donald was in Detroit yesterday, to speak at Great Faith Ministries International Church and to be interviewed by the church’s pastor, Bishop Wayne T. Jackson, for a television program on his African-American Christian cable channel, the Impact Network.Predictably, community, religious and labor activist protestors showed up to protest.Predictably, Detroit’s (Democrat) Mayor criticized Mr. Trump, saying "this is the most phony major party nominee that I've seen in my lifetime.”Really, Mr. Duggan?For his part, Mr. Trump danced with the celebrants and sounded, well, presidential, when he addressed the congregation. Referencing disparities in education, employment and public safety he said “I fully understand...

What are the odds?Just weeks after the NYT article about the existence of Hillary’s private email server, she – without intent, because Mr. Comey told us there was no intent, and Mr. Comey is an honorable man - had her aides wipe it clean. Presumable it was routine spring housekeeping.Butt Hillary doesn’t really recall because she fell down, hit her head and got a boo-boo. Possibly with a hammer.Meanwhile, another aide was, allegedly, dispatching some of her old cell phones with a hammer. So they wouldn’t fall into the wrong hands. Like the FBI.Some would say that the lawyerly way she...

PJ's Power Brunch was inspired by the Power Lunch Power Break authored by Jake Novak of CNBC. The idea started off a a joke by Yours Truly on Twitter in reply to Jake but soon I got to thinking that perhaps there is a niche for precisely the type of blog I have in mind. While Novak's terrific Power Break focuses on the macro in terms of the economy, politics, and culture in general, my Power Brunch will be sort of a micro version of it...sprinkled with (hopefully) large doses of humor. So rather than, for example, looking at large...

Remember that time Hillary danced with Sir Paul McCartney (cultural reference here)? Oh yeah, Dancing With Stars for money. Doesn’t every presidential candidate do that now days?Dancing with Jimmy Buffett, Jon Bon Jovi and Sir Paul – in the Hamptons! Sir Paul McCartney, performing at an exclusive Hillary Clinton Hamptons fundraiser, poked fun at the event’s sky-high ticket prices, saying, “This is the first time in my entire life when I have paid to hear myself sing.” - Page Six Of course he was just kidding; being a foreigner and all that would be illegal. And we all know what...

Gene Wilder, star and writer of some of Hollywood’s greatest comedy classics, passed away this week at 83 years of age from complications of Alzheimer’s. He partnered with Mel Brooks for the best work both of them have done, including the original version of The Producers, Young Frankenstein, and one of my all-time favorite films, Blazing Saddles. Those films and others have long been in rotation on the movie channels and even on cable and broadcast outlets, albeit with heavy editing, but have been absent from the big screen for decades. Those who never caught Blazing Saddles on the big...

This whole Weiner waggin’ mess started sometime in June, 2011: The Wages of War: Bris or Brisket. At the time I reported the following: After adamantly claiming for days that he did not have sext with that woman, what’s her name, Anthony Weiner finally admitted that he did indeed sext his pecs... along with other miscellaneous anatomical assets to several women; both prior and subsequent to his marriage to Huma (who couldn’t make it to the press conference due to a previous engagement)…Wiping back tears, Rep. Weiner said "This was me doing a dumb thing and doing it repeatedly and...

Some days future possibilities are just too grim to contemplate. For example, what if Hillary wins? I am quite sure that, out of necessity, I  would be promoted from FLOTUS MOTUS to POTUS MOTUS. Some promotions are just not worth it.Honestly, what difference at this point does it make?I’m going back to bed with a sick headache. Please carry on as you see fit.Posted from: Michelle Obama’s Mirror

Sydney Leathers, the young woman who gained national attention after it was revealed that she had been sexting former congressman Anthony Weiner in 2013, is taking a break from social media. In a tweet published early Morning morning, Leathers wrote: "[Expletive]'s getting weird (again) so I'm taking a break from Twitter & Instagram for a few days ✌"

Winner of the August Obama-suck-up-coverage-of the-month goes to New York Magazine with this article: Michelle Obama Knew at Age 10 That You Don’t Need a Man to Be Happy. Well that’s  certainly fortunate: As she surely didn’t marry one.The story continues: Michelle Obama is a seasoned professional when it comes to dropping truth bombs, but it turns out the First Lady was almost as astute at age 10 as she is now. In an interview with Variety in which she describes how throughout her term [editor: her “term” - her term!!? Did she get elected to something?] she’s used pop culture to...

Remember when Zimbabwe used to be Rhodesia?There’s a lesson, or two, in here somewhere: ‘No One Is Safe’: Zimbabwe Threatens to Seize Farms of Party Defectors. That’s right: first they came for the white men’s farms:And the blacks didn’t object because, well, they weren’t white. Now they’re coming for the farms of black-men-who-disagree-with-the-government-policies. That’s how it always goes.And as pointed out by the Instapundit: Hey, it was over a decade ago when Nick Kristof reported that Zimbabweans were nostalgic for the days of white rule: An elderly peasant in another village, Makupila Muzamba, said that hunger today is worse than...

The Taurus Judge is the gun that can do it all, check it out as Matt from Demolition Ranch puts it to the test in as many ways as possible. Most people have at least heard of the Taurus Judge and the Taurus Judge Public Defender, and you’ve probably heard the claim that it’s the gun that can do it all. Today you’ll get to see that claim put to the test as Matt from Demolition Ranch puts just about as many different types of rounds as possible through these guns and gives them all sorts of tests. What we...

Is it possible the environmentalists have been praying at the wrong altar? Is it possible that corn – as a fuel - is a worse pollutant than (gasp!) oil?  Well, yes, apparently: Despite their purported advantages, biofuels — created from crops such as corn or soybeans — cause more emissions of climate change-causing carbon dioxide than gasoline, according to the study from U-M Energy Institute research professor John DeCicco. The multi-billion-dollar U.S. biofuels industry — promoted and expanded for more than a decade by the federal government — [ed. read “subsidies”] may be built on a false assumption, according to...

From srdem65’s post 8/26/16 @ 3:36 pm EDT: “Friends, we need a happy day here. No war, no politics, nada. Hopefully no tragedies to worry about either. Photos of our babies - two legged and four legged. Some yummy treats we might make at home, some lovely drinks to make, and an exotic meal or two. Tales of happy times with the family, the children. I'm getting burned out and I bet you are too.” “So let it be written. So let it be done.”Since I’m not going to be around I don’t think it would be wise to open...

Yesterday Donald Trump again called Hillary a crooked liar (and a bigot).With the help of her over-worked voice coach Hillary Clinton called Donald Trump a racist – in uncharacteristically well modulated diction. Clinton started the day by releasing a video that featured Ku Klux Klan members and white supremacists touting Trump’s candidacy — then gave an afternoon speech condemning Trump’s racially inflammatory remarks and support within the “alt-right,” which she described as an “emerging racist ideology.” – WaPo The only thing – you can’t really believe anything a crooked liar says. Protestor at a yuge Hillary campaign event in February...

Remember the special frock that Lady M donned to return to the prison of the White House last Sunday? It’s been driving me crazy. I knew it reminded me of something other than my Aunt Irene circa 1952 butt couldn’t quite put my finger on it. And then, while in sleep mode, it popped up on my server! It’s from the August 21, 2010 post, Big Guy, All Books, No Grapes. Sure enough, there she was, Lady M  play-acting the role of Imogene in Paper Moon.Imogene and Addie – Paper MoonIn case you don’t recall the movie it’s a 1973...
