Apparent Epstein Arkanicide

by Smitty Somebody forgot to wind Epstein’s suicide watch. Twitter, of course, is on the case: #EpsteinConspiracyTheory 1/ Jeremy Corbyn called in a favor from John Brennan, who had a couple of retired CIA agents whisk Epstein to a midget sub that will now make a trans-Atlantic run. Upon arrival in the UK, Epstein will […]

In The Mailbox: 08.08.19 (Not The Special Hitler Edition)

— compiled by Wombat-socho I was briefly tempted to go through and change all the names of the Democrats in the news to Hitler and other Nazis as appropriate, but it seemed like more trouble than it would have been worth for the lulz it might have produced. OVER THE TRANSOM Bacon Time: Because it […]

If you can throw a few bucks in the tip jar this weekend, it would be greatly appreciated. Donation button is at the bottom of the post. OVER THE TRANSOM Bacon Time: Chuck The Wonder Dog […]

Tucker Fishes In Barrels With Nukes

by Smitty I guess the lack of Twitter is a boon to blogging: “It’s possible that [Chelsea Clinton’s] entire public persona is a kind of performance art.

Republican voters, if not Republican elites, still wanted the […]

Why Hilllary’s 2016 Overconfidence Bothered Me

by Smitty I grasp that political leaders tend to be mediocre people who do the networking thing well. It’s hard to build those ‘people skills’ while also honing, say, guitar chops. However, the media is going to tell you that an otherwise pedestrian figure whom they fancy is somehow brilliant. Yet whatever brilliance they display, […]

Ask And Ye Shall Receive

by Smitty @Carpedonktum Here is something that I would do if I had time/skill: Snip Trump speeches down to single words, and then have Trump do a version of "Peace Sells" by Megadeth. — Medieval Knievel Gets Over Macho Grande FTW (@smitty_one_each) May 31, 2018 And here it is: The original:

Democrats May Be Better Off Leaving Their Faith Unstated

by Smitty “We Americans have always been a religious people, a member of my staff tells me.”–Kristen Wiig as Nancy Pelosi, 11Nov2006 (at 1:57) Chris Coons has a fascinating piece up at The Atlantic: First, it hides away the deep, passionate, and formative faith backgrounds of so many Democrats who are seeking or serving in […]
