BIDEN GETS CALL FROM MARGARET THATCHER

We all make gaffes but Joe Biden wins the prize. He says he’s been getting calls from many world leaders, including Margaret Thatcher, who’s been dead since 2013.

This is just the beginning folks. Get popcorn and settle in for laughs.

CONFRONTATIONS ACROSS THE GLOBE

The story, short on detail, was that an American carrier group was going to be sent to the Persian Gulf. Bits and pieces came out during the day that hinted that Iran had plans to set off some bombs on Mideast neighbors .

I listened and wondered who on earth is leaking this stuff? Or maybe they wanted Iran to get the message.

Because suddenly there’s a sudden group of military assaults at various points on the planet.

Palestine, that state that never existed, is suddenly lobbing bombs at Israel.

Does anybody remember Yassar Arafat? Guy’s now buried in somebody’s garden. He was the pawn of Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, maybe all three. He was behind endless bombs thrown at neighboring Israel for many years until, thankfully, he died.

Hillary and Madeline Albright used to share wine with Arafat because those people never fought back, peaceful Israeli citizens trying to live a peaceful life be damned.

Also little Kim Jung-Un suddenly started lobbing “short” bombs toward Japan, tiny creep without an ounce of meaning to his empty life.

There’s unrest around the globe and let us not forget China and the looming tariff war.

We’re keeping eye on. We have stronger people in charge now.

CONGRESS DENIED ACCESS TO PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TAXES

What the hell is with those Democrats? We have a lawfully elected president who has already served 2.5 years and now congress demands his tax return? Can they do that?

Can the gubmint demand MY tax return if, on a whim, they want it?

----------------------------------

HERE

Mnuchin, in a letter to House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal (D-Mass.), said he had consulted with the Justice Department and that they had concluded that it would not be lawful for the Trump administration to turn over the tax returns because of potential violations of privacy.

----------------------------

We shall see if this goes to the Supreme Court.

Can they annoy, harass and deter this president any more?

-----------------------------

STOCK DOWN

Fears over an upcoming tariff negotiation with China is driving the stock market down, as of this writing over 500 points down.

The stock market shall rise again but know that the Chinese are too often not to be believed.

And they sure don’t believe in the sanctity of intellectual property.

I was so shocked one day when I was reading entries in a writing contest, one I was considering entering. I could not believe when I found a story THAT I HAD WRITTEN!!!

It took some investigating and reporting but in due course it was discovered the story was stolen from me by a Chinese man.

Not making this up.

If the Chinese get their hands on it, no matter who wrote it, drew it, painted it or built it, THEY will take credit for it.

If they get a chance and they don’t get caught.

DON McGAHN ORDERED NOT TO TESTIFY

The talking points are that this guy talked to Mueller for around 30 hours. Allgedly McGahn told investigators that President Trump once ordered him to fire Mueller. In the Mueller report this action is considered obstruction of justice.

Do don’t get mad folks if the FBI is treating you unfairly or preventing you from doing your job. In your anger do not shout at to fire anybody because….well don’t say anything. PRESIDENT TRUMP SHOULD NOT ANYTHING….EVER…EVER…AGAIN.

But Mueller would find something wrong with that too.

here

The White House has ordered former White House counsel Don McGahn not to turn over documents to Congress because President Trump may exert executive privilege to block their release.

Pat Cipollone, the top White House lawyer, wrote a Tuesday letter asking the House Judiciary Committee to go through the White House to request documents related to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

“The White House provided these records to Mr. McGahn in connection with its cooperation with the special counsel's investigation and with the clear understanding that the records remain subject to the control of the White House for all purposes,” Cipollone wrote to House Judiciary Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.).

“The White House records remain legally protected from disclosure under longstanding constitutional principles, because they implicate significant executive branch confidentiality interests and executive privilege,” Cipollone added.

JOE BIDEN REPEATS MONDALE’S MISTAKE.

Heh.

So Biden’s out on the campaign trail and folks I might need a big notebook to keep up with his gaffes.

....“First thing I’d do is repeal those Trump tax cuts,” said Biden.

Biden also repeated a lie he made during his campaign kickoff speech, claiming only high-income households received a tax cut. The Washington Post gave this claim four Pinocchios, noting it was “clearly false.” The Post also stated: “Most Americans received a tax cut.”

“Joe Biden is not Methuselah. He is Walter Mondale part deux,” said Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform. In 1984 Mondale famously promised to raise taxes if elected. He lost to Ronald Reagan in the electoral college 525-13, winning only his home state of Minnesota and the District of Columbia.

------------------------------

But of course we’ll vote for a contender who proclaims that he will eliminate tax cuts. What right does anybody have to reduce cash flow for the gubmint? It is the gubmint that keeps us alive, the gubmint that holds our health care.

Heh.

Keep it up Joe. We’ll pull that lever for your real quick.

-------------------

HOUSE VOTE ON AG BARR

Indeed those clowns did vote that Barr lied before congress. I watched Nadler and go on….he spoke and spoke and spoke.

He said pretty much nothing

5/10/19

Not much happening this day but I do have one grand observation that will rock the world.

For now, as of this writing I have taped the interview, on CNN, of one of the most despicable people on the planet. I speak of former FBI Director, James Comey. He is being interviewed on the second anniversary of his firing by Anderson Cooper.

Tomorrow I shall update, mock and deride.

For now, I have heard that a lot of information about the great spy hoax of the election of 2016 is going to be released next week.

They are waiting for the IG’s report and then it all will be released.

THEY NAMED HIM WHAT?

Yes they did.

They named that precious baby Archie.

What were they thinking?

THE INFAMOUS CNN TOWN HALL COMEY INTERVIEW

I intentionally taped the infamous Comey interview on CNN, in a Town Hall format of all things. Interviewer-Anderson Cooper.

When asked if there was really "spying" going on in the Trump campaign, Comey chastised that it isn't really spying, it's called INVESTIGATING.

Come on people. We've spent over two years debating a Russian collusion that did not happen and how many years and money will we spend defining "spying".

Comey said if his former employees Stroczyk and Paige are punishing severely for breaking the rules he was okay with it. Note only the underlings deserve punishment.

At some point Comey, the wonderful, fair, kind and decent man said that he knows that Trump colluded with the Russians, the Mueller report be damned.

The Comey talking point, the all wise and all knowing, was that the Trump presidency shows that leaders don't need a moral component.

TALK ABOUT NOT HAVING ANY MORALS!

There are few "leaders" more moral-less than James Comey.

Make no mistake, I can't stand the man. He is dishonest and deceitful and he does it with a smile as he talks to you like you are an idiot. He makes up his own rules but jails others who do the same. He writes books of his misdeeds, brazen and with never an ounce of humility.

And I'm guessing he will never go away.

REPUBLICAN SENATOR SUBPOENA’S DONALD TRUMP JR.

This Burr Senator, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee, a REPUBLICAN, has subpoena'd Donald Trump Jr.

Allegedly is because of something the very decent and honest Cohen lawyer said right before going to jail.

And a REPUBLICAN is pulling in the President's child because of something a shyster said?

Senate Head Mitch McConnell said the Mueller probe is over. So why are HIS charges still calling innocent people before the Senate for silly reasons such as this?

Mitch…..he is no leader.

Burr is obviously a RINO

Margaret Thatcher tells Biden she doesn’t like Donald Trump as President of the USA. But she died in 2013.

Donald Trump didn’t announce a run until 2015.

NO one was saying Donald Trump was going to run for President in 2013. While he had ruminated the idea for years, he still was NOT on anyone’s radar then.

Biden’s a liar, and the press, once again, suppresses news that makes democrats look bad.

Biden is a liar.
