  • Conspiracies and Coverups

    Now we don’t like taking bows here but just a few weeks back, November 9th to be exact, we published an article asking Where Are the Conspiracy Theories?  Low and behold just a few days later Tucker Carlson late of Fox News, lists a whole bunch of things about Thomas Matthew Crooks!  Crooks in case you have forgotten, was one of the would be POTUS 45 & 47 assassins.  Seems this Crooks guy was all over Social Media with all kinds of nutty ideas.  And this after the FBI had proclaimed that Crooks had very small digital footprint.  Maybe the FBI doesn’t know much about Digital Footprints and Social Media?  Or should we begin to think of those two dirty words…  Conspiracy and Coverup? 

    And as usual a day late and a dollar short, the rest of the Mass Hysteria begins to chime in.  Just remember you read it here first!  Why here?  Because we ask the tough questions.  And that is what this Journalism thingy is all about.

    And the House of Representatives is going to release their Epstein files!  They are going to name names!  And the names if they belong to anyone you heard of before, will say.  “Yes I knew him.  We did charity work together.”  “We talked about investments as Epstein was a financial whiz.”  “Epstein knew a lot of people.  He knew a lot of things.”  Will anyone say.  “I did not have sexual relations with those little girls!”  Will anyone get arrested?  Will we see or hear any of those supposed sex tapes with famous people in them?  Fugettaboutitt!

    One new thing we did learn about Jeffrey Epstein even though it didn’t come from the House report was,…  He had a little wee wee.  Similar information was given about another great sex abuser, Harvey Weinstein.  Does anyone see a pattern here?

    And as the anniversary of the assassination of JFK creeps upon us once again, the conspiracy theories will rear their ugly heads.  Our favorite has always been, the one put forward by our own Financial Editor Carmine S.  Carmine’s conspiracy is, Lee Harvey Oswald was one of Joseph P. Kennedy’s (father of JFK and well known philander ) many illegitimate kids.  And Oswald had had it.  JFK got to be President with a beautiful wife and kids, not to mention all the money the Kennedys had, while poor Lee Harvey, had to work in a Book Depository in Dallas for a buck twenty five an hour.  How would you feel, if you were poor old Lee Harvey?

    We know we’ve mentioned this conspiracy theory before but everyone trots out their conspiracy theories every year, and this one bears repeating.  It’s a goodie.

  • Where Are The…

    the Conspiracy Theories?

    Donald John Trump POSTUS 45 and 47, had one assassin shoot him and another assassin lay in wait ready to shoot him.  The first guy who was killed on the scene and the other guy has already been convicted but where are the conspiracy theories?  The guy who lay in wait, Ryan Roush had his place all staked out in the grassy knoll.  No need to speculate whether or not there would have been shots fired from it.

    Was Thomas Matthew Crooks a lone gunman?  Have they accounted for all the bullets?  Did he actually hit POTUS 45?  Was there a second gunman?  a Third even?  Thomas Matthew Crooks whose first shot  nicked DJT’s ear. didn’t seem to be able to come close with any of his other shots.  What makes anyone think he hit DJT with that first shot?  Why was he killed at the scene?

    Why are we the only people asking these questions?  Does anyone care?  If we hadn’t put these guys names in this article, could you have named them in a quiz?

    Yes we know that conspiracy theories historically take time.  First there is the investigation and then the official report.  And after all that, the conspiracy theories begin to rear their ugly head.  But this 2025 not 1961 or 1968!  No one much believes anything the government says any more.  Especially in official reports.  Besides we have Facebook, X, Tik Tok, Instagram, Podcasts and Blogs like this one.  There is no reason to wait!

    Now we could speculate as to why there are no conspiracy theories but that would be a conspiracy theory.  And as readers of this Blog know, we don’t engage in conspiracy theories.

  • Who’d A Thunk It?

    James Comey former Director of the FBI or as we like to call him, J. Edgar Comey, is facing an investigation by Congress and he might even be a subject in a Grand Jury proceeding.  But he’s unbowed and defiant.  He finds solace and strength in…  No, not what you’re thinking, as that was what we were thinking, Jesus.  No, no, he finds strength and solace in Taylor Swift and her music.  We’re not sure but maybe it’s the lyric.  “We are never ever getting back together.”  Or it could be.  “Look what you made me do.”

    We’re sure she’s flattered.  And, we hate to be the ones who tell J. Edgar Comey this but…  You’re no Travis Kelce!  Hell, he’s not even J. Edgar Hoover.  No one ever dared, to investigate, J. Edgar Hoover.

    And Hillary Clinton, HerHillaryness herself, has said that Donald John Trump POTUS 45 & 47 should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, if he can arrange a peace treaty between Ukraine and Russia.  We’re trying to find out if anyone ever called for Hitler to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.  Hitler was Time Magazine’s Man of the Year in 1938, so that might not be so far fetched as it may sound.  So far as we know, Hitler was never nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize but someone prominent, like HerHillaryess in that time period, might have called for it.  Why would someone have done that you ask?  Well something like Hitler called off the invasion of England for one.  Then when he withdrew his troops from North Africa.  Now we can’t find where anyone like HerHillaryness mentioned Hitler for the Nobel Peace Prize, but if anyone out there can, please let us know.

    Are you delulu?  Odds are if you are, you don’t know it, as it means delusional.  Now this could be skibidi which means bad or cool or nothing.  All of this we hope makes you insopo, which is inspired to go and do something because of something you saw on the internet, like this article.  What are we talking about?  Well these are all new words entered into the Cambridge Dictionary.  These words come from Tik Tok, other social media and the internet.  And these words, according to the Cambridge Dictionary, are changing our world.

    Now some people are stunned that the Cambridge Dictionary would put such silly words in their tome when no one will even remember them by next spring.  The Cambridge Dictionary is produced by Cambridge University founded in 1209 and it is one of the oldest and most revered Universities in the world.  How could they do such a thing!  Well we think, the whiners and complainers here are just skibidi or maybe even delulu.  They are most definitely not insopo.

  • Who Would You Hire?

    Sydney Sweeney pictured above, has made a commercial for American Eagle Jeans.  We’ve watched it five times.  Hey, we have to do research.  But we can’t seem to find any inferences to the Nazis or the head Nazi, Adolph Hitler.  And since references to Nazis and the head Nazi Adolph Hitler, seem to pop up on almost a daily basis, we thought it was high time for a Hitler quiz.  We mean if you are going to compare A to B, you need to know what B is, otherwise your comparison is what?  So without further ado.

    Question 1.  What High School did Adolph Hitler graduate from?

    A. Vienna High School of the Arts.

    B. Braunau am Inn High School.

    C. Braunau am Inn Reformatory School.

    D. Hitler never graduated from High School.

    Question 2.  Before Hitler was Der Fuhrer what was his occupation?

    A. Hitler was a Dentist who didn’t use Novocaine.  He liked to watch his patients squirm.

    B. Hitler never had an occupation.  He lived in a Shelter.  He was a homeless, day laborer.

    C. Hitler was a Shoe Maker.

    D. Hitler was a Journalist and part of the fake news media of his day.

    Question 3.  Who was Geli Raubal

    A. She was Hitler’s niece.

    B.  She was Hitler’s girlfriend.

    C. She was Hitler’s niece and his girlfriend.

    Question 4.  Hitler’s ability to become Der Fuhrer, design economic policy for Germany, chart foreign policy, design military campaigns and run the entire government of Germany, came from his experience as…

    A. His tenure at Konigliche Preubische Kriegsakademie.  Germany’s West Point.

    B. His experience as a day laborer and homeless guy, who lived in a Shelter.

    C. His military experience.  He was a Corporal in WWI.

    D. Damned if we know.

    Answers.

    1. D.  Hitler was a dropout.

    2. B.  Hitler was a homeless guy who lived in a Shelter.  The only work he got was as a day laborer.

    3.  A. B. and C.  We like to make one question real easy and Geli was Hitler’s niece and his girlfriend, so no matter what you picked, you got it right.

    4. D.  Damned if we know.  We hate to put a big pin in the balloon that has Hitler as the Evil Genius and the face of Evil but based on his resume, before he was the Fuhrer of course, we have to ask you one question.  Would you hire this guy?  Not as Der Fuhrer but like, as anything?  Our own theory is Hitler was a guy who could speak extemporaneously for quite awhile, without notes or index cards.  Just like a lot of would be Hollyweird stars, who wait tables, while hoping for the big break.  Or one of the Housewives of New York, Beverly Hills or wherever you like.  We kind of think of Hitler, as the first Housewife of Munich.  Nothing else, makes any sense.

    But back to Sydney Sweeney.  She’s an Actress with an impressive resume.  She’s been in some big productions like ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, ‘Euphoria’ and ‘Once Upon A Time In Hollywood’. She’s also a producer.  She’s way more qualified to be hired for a job, any job, than Adolf Hitler.  In short, there’s no comparison here.

  • They Died in Office

    Mortuis Honoris Datus

    William Henry Harrison the hero of the battle of Tippecanoe. Sworn in March 4, 1841 where he caught a bad cold and then died April 4, 1841. Historians who rate Presidents always rate this guy near the bottom but that’s not really fair, as he was dead for 3 years and 11 months of his first term. Some of these historians are meanies.

    Abraham Lincoln Sworn in March 4, 1861 assassinated April 14, 1865. One of the great tragedies in American history. He was shot in the back of the head in Ford’s theater while watching the play ‘Our American Cousin’. His wife wanted to see the play. He should have let her go and stayed home. Both General Grant and Capt. Robert Todd Lincoln, Lincoln’s son, declined to go as they were tired. No, there was no internet, cable TV, streaming or even the old broadcast TV. That’s why they had to go to Ford’s theater. Like we said, one of the great tragedies in American history.

    James A Garfield Sworn in March 4, 1881, shot on July 2, 1881 and then died two and a half months later on September 19, 1881. Garfield is usually ranked somewhere in the middle of the pack. Like in the 20’s which might be kind of nice. Considerably nicer than they rank Harrison, seeing as how Garfield was only President a few months longer than ole Tippecanoe. So it could be just a nice gesture for a guy who got shot. Or it could mean these historian meanies, just hate twenty or so other guys who were President, a whole lot more.

    BTW Robert Todd Lincoln was Garfield’s Secretary of War and an eye witness to the assassination.

    William McKinley Sworn in March 4, 1897 shot on September 6, 1901 and dies a week later on September 14, 1901. This assassination thing is getting to be a bad habit for this young nation. McKinley is ranked pretty high. He’s usually in the top 20. The moral of the story here is, don’t try to shake hands with a guy who has his hand wrapped in a handkerchief. This guy, the assassin, Leon Czolgosz, had a gun in his.

    BTW Robert Todd Lincoln was just outside of the building when McKinley was shot.

    Warren G. Harding. Sworn in March 4, 1921 and died of a heart attack August 2, 1923. Warren G, returned the died in office, back to natural causes, instead of getting shot. Harding was a very popular President while alive but after he died, there were all kinds of scandals that came out. People getting caught with their hand in the till and well it seemed Warren G, cheated on his wife. Sort of like a whole lot of Presidents that came after him. The history meanies don’t rate him too high, while they rate some of the other guys who had scandals and cheated on their wives, a lot higher.

    FDR Sworn in March 4, 1932, died April 12, 1945 from a brain hemorrhage. Hey the guy ran and got elected four times. He was in office for over 12 years, what did anyone expect? He was going to live forever? But the whole country was in shock and saddened. A whole lot of people didn’t even remember the guy before him.

    JFK Sworn in January 20, 1961, assassinated November 23, 1963. And, now it was back to getting assassinated, as the reason for died in office. This assassination is the first one caught on film. Then the unfolding events, the shooting of the assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, the funeral and the unending commentary where the TV talking heads would get all choaked up, were all on TV. This is also one of the great who dun it’s, as almost no one believes the official document, The Warren Report, on the assassination anymore.

    BTW Robert Todd Lincoln wasn’t at this one. So far as we know.

    Joe Biden. Sworn in January 20, 2021 and you may say he’s still walking around but trust us, he’s dead. When the leaders of your own party, a whole lot of the Cognoscenti of the Known World, the TV Talking Heads and actor George Clooney, tell you not to run right in the middle of your re-election campaign, it means you’re dead. Even if you’re still walking around in the White House.

    While we don’t have a date for the funeral trust us, it’s already planned; the burial plot picked out, his obituary written, the media has the little 1 and 2 minute video clips, that will encapsulate his life, all set up and ready to go. President DJT’s staff has already written his remarks as well. Remarks, where he doesn’t call him Sleepy Joe or the worst President of all time. DJT will just say a few nice things because Joe Biden will be among the mortuis honoris datus, the honored dead. The funeral home is just waiting for the phone call.

  • FUGGETTAABOUTTTITT!

    Not since Who Shot J.R. has there been so much anticipation over the release of anything like there has been over the release, of the remaining JFK files.  Oh wait, most of you might not remember Who Shot J.R.?  There was this TV show called ‘Dallas’ and J.R. was the mega rich, shady, double dealing character, who got shot in the last episode of a season.  Everyone had to wait till the next season to find out if J.R. lived and Who Shot J.R.?  ‘Dallas’ was the number 1, T.V. show back in the day, when that designation meant something.  Just about everyone in the country got into ‘Who Shot J.R., including people who never watched the show.  Betting on the question of ‘Who Shot J.R. grew rapidly and odds on the different characters in show, were set, just like it was the Superbowl.  Then office pools were set up as well.  Again, just like the Superbowl.  The betting was fierce and almost every office had a pool.  JFK, on the other hand, was the 35th President of the United States and he was assassinated in Dallas, no connection to the TV show, back on November 23, 1963.

    At first, we were told and most everyone believed, that the assassination of JFK was the work of a lone gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald.  But a few years later the conspiracy theories began and they haven’t stopped since.  We’ve always had our money on LBJ, who had been the Vice President but we’re not into conspiracy theories, so we’ve never printed that before.  But now, with the release of all the files, we know…  Well… nothing.

    And this after all these years of conspiracy theories on top of conspiracy theories.  Theories  like…  It was the C.I.A, the F.B.I, the Joint Chiefs, the Mafia, the Russians, Fidel Castro, Cuban Exiles, the Bay of Pigs survivors, the Watergate Burglars, All of the Above, Some of the Above and just about anyone else, you want to throw in there, like LBJ, our favorite.  And, even though there is nothing in this new release of the files, it won’t stop the conspiracy theorists.  It will just whet their appetites.  They will see conspiracy in any mention of the aforementioned cohorts and others we and you have forgotten about.  Hell, the conspiracy theorists will see conspiracies in the smudges and coffee stains, left on the documents.

    In the end, the President got assassinated.  Like it of not, everyone got over it.  Even Jackie his wife, who married a billionaire.  And, the rest of the Kennedys too, who went on to drive their cars, boats and planes into things just like they always did.  Rumor has it that they weren’t too good, with wagons and carts back in the old country.

    There is never going to be a note in any file that says.  ‘I shot the President from the Grassy Knoll.  Yours truly, Joe Meltzer.’  

    It’s going to be just like Who Shot J.R.?  Once everyone knew it was Kristen, his Sister-in-law/Mistress and all the bettors and the office pool winners were paid off, it was just one big FUGGETTAABOUTTITT!!!

    So everyone, just FUGGETTAABOUTTITT!!!

    P.S. J.R. survived getting shot and went on to be the shady, double dealing character for quite a few more seasons of ‘Dallas’.
