  • Confusion

    Everyone in WOWTMSM agrees that war is bad but as previously mentioned in last weeks article, “bleep” blowing up is good.  It must be as they can’t stop showing it, even if the Talking Heads are wringing their hands and clutching their pearls, over the price of gas at the pump.  

    Then there is ‘Boots On The Ground.  Boots on the ground are bad.  No, boots on the ground are good, even necessary.  And for some of us, whenever we hear “boots on the ground” we get this image of just that, boots on the ground.  Some lined up nice and neat and others just strewn about, as if they were just dropped there.  But no one is wearing them.  There are no soldiers anywhere, just boots, boots on the ground, boots on the ground everywhere.  Maybe that’s not a bad thing.  Maybe some people in Iran , need some boots.  Maybe we could just drop some in.

    Then there is the “Forever War’.  Not another ‘Forever War’ puhleezzeee!  BTW what is a “Forever War’?  There was the 100 years war back in the 1300’s and 1400’s, between England and France and France and France  That might have seemed like forever but 100 years as long as it was, was not quite forever.  Not even close.  Besides, no one knew they were in the 100 years war.  It got that designation after the fact.  Just as some historians now see WWI and WWII as one war.  But there has never been a forever war, so we don’t think there will be one now.  On the other hand, if there is a forever war, we won’t know, as none of us will be around, when it ends.

    Then there is the DJT POTUS 45 & 47 announcing that we are engaging negotiations to end the War with Iran.  But then the IRGC and the Basij militia at first claimed there are no such talks.  Then the IRGC and the Basij guys announce they reject all the proposals made by DJT 45 & 47 POTUS and had a list of their own. So, somebody must have talked to somebody.

    It’s all a bit confusing, no?  Well not really.  Try to remember that a nation is made up of a lot more entities than it’s military and government figures.  There are businesses of all kinds, manufacturing of all kinds, institutions of all kinds like agriculture, transportation, health, religious and not just the Mullahs, cultural etcetera, etcetera, just like all societies.  So, it is quite possible that we are negotiating with responsible entities in Iran.  And not just with the IRGC and the boys from Basij.  So both conditions, can be true.

    And don’t listen to the Talking Heads too much.  They’re just reading from a teleprompter and they’re not even sure what’s on it half the time.  The other half of the time…  Well your guess is as good as ours.

    We hope we have removed some of the confusion.  But we are selves are quite confused, so don’t get your hopes up too high because we could be wrong.  If we are we will admit it, unlike The Talking Heads and The Cognoscenti Of The Known World who will simply run on to their next point of expertise, as quickly as they can.

  • ‘That Which We Call A Rose’

    There has been some difficulty in the pronunciation of the first name of the new Ayatollah of Iran.  This is no small thing.  How would we all feel if people around the world consistently miss pronounced our President’s names like Barack or Dwight or Lyndon or Franklin Delano?  The problem seems to lie in the spelling of Mojtaba.  Is the J silent?  Is it pronounced J and how?  This isn’t English or Spanish.  

    We will need to write about him from time to time, so why don’t we just call him Mojito?  Mojito Khamenei.  Mojitos are fun.  Once we have a fun term everyone can use, we can avoid offending.  Something we try very hard to do, not offend, that is.  Oh yes Mojitos are a rum based drink that came from Cuba originally and they are quite tasty and depending on who makes them, can be quite potent.

    And yes there a other problems with Mojito Khamenei.  He might be in a coma.  He might have lost a leg.  He might need a lot of plastic surgery for his face.  But the biggest problem is, he might not be around too long.  Who will be next?

    And we hate to feel dumb.  But we don’t pretend to be experts, so well, we can be dumb.  But we don’t think anyone here, has ever heard of Kharg Island before.  Have you?  Seems that 90 percent of all of Iran’s oil goes through this heretofore never mentioned island but now on the lips of every expert, as it got bombed.  How come no one has mentioned it before?  We don’t mean Gamers who have been attacking this island for a few decades on their screens, but the Cognoscenti Of The Known World and the Talking Heads, especially the military experts among them.  Maybe dumb, is a thing that’s going around and we shouldn’t feel too bad about it.

    We get why the Secretary of War and our own Head of the Joint Chiefs wouldn’t mention it.  As why alert anyone to potential targets?

    And oh yeah how do you pronounce Kharg?  Sounds like “Car egg” maybe.  Maybe we should just call it Rose island.  That way we can link this article back to the title.

  • Who’d A’…

    2025 Mayoral Candidate Zohan Mandani was going to let everyone ride the buses in New York City for free!  Newly elected Mayor Zohan Mandani, says he can’t do it.  You have to pay.  Who’d a’ thunk it?

    Ex-Pizza man and Minnesota native Mark Anderson tried to escort Luigi Mangione the guy who shot the Insurance clerk in the back, out of the MDC in Brooklyn.  Anderson claimed he was an FBI Agent and he had court papers signed by a Judge and his weapons, we assume he meant stuff issued to a real FBI Agents, were in his bag.  But all he really had was a driver’s license and the bag only had a chunk of Gouda and a Pizza cutter.  He wound up in handcuffs and in front of a real Judge.  Anderson’s court appointed attorney said the ex-Pizza man should be released and taken to a hospital, as he’s mentally ill.  Who’d a thunk that one?

    And the FBI finally released all of the Jeffrey Epstein files and there was finally something in them.  Turns out Bill Gates, genius and billionaire founder of Microsoft asked Jeffrey if he could get him some anti-biotics for his wife.  Seems genius and Billionaire Bill got an STD from one of Jeffrey’s “Russian girls”.  And that reminded us of something Mickey Mantle explained to one of his younger teammates years ago.  One of the hardest things to do Mickey said, was not hit the curveball.  No, it was to somehow explain to your wife, why she has to take anti-biotics, for your head cold.  Maybe genius and Billionaire Bill, figured out how to explain that to his wife but the concept of the condom, escaped him.  Who’d a’ thunk that?

    Note to Billionaire Bill, if you use the condom, you won’t need the anti-biotics.

  • To The Shores Of Tripoli

    On April 27th 1805, seven U.S. Marines and about 90 of Hamet Karmanli’s guys, led by Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon captured Derna in the then Regency of Tripoli, modern day Lybia.  It was the first time the U.S. flag was raised on foreign soil.  That’s where the line “to the shores of Tripoli” comes from in the Marie Corps Hymn.  Lieutenant O’Bannon and the U.S. Navy had been sent their by then President Thomas Jefferson to do battle with the Barbary Pirates in what is known as the First Barbary Pirates War.  

    Now this does not exactly equate to pulling Maduro out of his bed and flying him back to New York in a few hours.  We didn’t have helicopters back in 1805, or F-35’s, Aircraft Carriers and C-47’s, so it was quite a trip to Tripoli and back.  But it just goes to show that despite all the screaming from some in the Mass Hysteria, there isn’t anything entirely new with the Maduro intervention.

    And we could have used the word capture instead of intervention here.  Or we could have used operation or arrest.  But we went with intervention, as it sounds like those situations where a few friends get together to try and stop someone from doing drugs.  And the intervention of Maduro, will stop him from the selling drugs.  We don’t know if he uses but if he does, it will stop that too.

    What were the Barbary Pirates doing?  Well they were interfering with international trade, seizing ships, taking hostages and demanding bribes.  Things gangs do that screw up a lot of people’s lives and cost a lot of people, a lot of money.  Does any of this sound familiar?

  • 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.

  • The Next Great Late Night Show

    The Jimmy Kimmel show is back on the air!  Does that sound like there is a but at the end of that sentence?  Well there is.  Jimmy’s ratings are in the toilet.  While ABC might have forgiven him, it seems as if a whole lot of other people haven’t.  If he’s canned again well,  ABC will have to fill the slot withe something.  So here are some great ideas from our staff.

    1.  ‘Do You Want To Be A Billionaire?  An old retired CEO mentors a small group young men and women through the maze that is the Global Economy.  Then he sends them on their pathway to billionaire’s Ville, Where they might live next door to Elon Musk .  The old CEO plays both con man and Psychiatrist, as he counsels, advises and most of all gives encouragement to these young Lions.  We’re going to call this show ‘Don’t Worry, I got fired too. 

    2.  ‘I’ll Sue You’.  Celebrities, Politician and other assorted Pezzonovante square off in court over some slight.  Real or imagined.  It will be like Judge Judy with a few alterations.  One of which will be the payout is not confined to 10,000 dollars.  And unlike The Judge Judy Show, you, not Judge Judy, will decide.  Both litigants lay out their case and then just like Dancing With The Stars, you, the audience will weigh in.  You decide who wins and how much, regardless of what the litigants are asking.  And yes sports fans there are no limits.  This will be a sister show to ‘Don’t Worry, I Got Fired Too!’  The litigants here might become Billionaires.

    3.  ‘What Causes Autism’.  Doctors, Researchers, Moms and other assorted people who know nothing, give their opinions every week.  Just like in real life.  And, just like other Realty shows, once the season comes to a close, there will be final confrontations, cliffhangers and yes, disappointments.

  • 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.

  • A Hill To Die On

    We keep hearing and reading this phrase “that’s a hill to die on”.  Now we are used to political speech being filled with hyperbole and meaningless verbiage and one of our all time favorites will always be “a thousand points of light”.  But this “hill to die on” thing, really has us confused.  We get the idea.  A place to make a last stand.  And it sounds like it’s trying to be a historical reference too but what hill?  There was Bunker Hill which was actually Breed’s Hill but a lot of the Colonials retreated.  They didn’t all die up there.  Was Custer on a hill at the Little Big Horn?  Was the Alamo on a hill?  Do they mean San Juan Hill which was actually Kettle’s Hill?  Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders took that hill.  So, where is this hill?  We mean if you’re going to die somewhere, you might want to know.  We want to know too.

    And the Jeffrey Epstein story has become “a nothingburger”, according to Harry Enten, a data analyst for CNN.  Now we don’t believe CNN or any of the WOWTMSM, especially when they give us numbers.  But according to this Enten guy, these numbers are from Google searches.  Not some fake group of people they supposedly called on the phone, who think exactly as CNN wants them to.  Nor are they numbers from the government, which can be changed whenever anyone wants them to.  No, this came from Google searches, which could be faked once anyone begins to use them too often.  But for right now, the Google searches on Jeffrey Epstein have fallen by 89%.  Not too many people are much interested in him anymore.

    It could be, because we pointed out that the government convicted him and Ghislaine Maxwell, without ever mentioning a client, so why would his files still have any of those names?  Or it could be as we pointed out, that even if those names became public, so a few meaningless, narcissistic nitwits would fall from various screens we look at.  Soon to be replaced by another group and BFD.  So it could be our observations, that put this story to bed.  So with that in mind, we have two more.

    One, that Epstein was blackmailing powerful and famous people.  Fugettaboutitt!  Try it yourself and see what happens to you.  Only beat up, if you’re lucky.  But the more obvious pin to that balloon is, would anyone keep hanging around with him? Would you?  We mean after you beat the bleep out of hm.  Epstein would have been the loneliest guy on the planet.  Even Ghislaine, would have left him.  Who wants to be the only guest at the party?

    Two, you have to live in New York City to know this one and you have to have a sharp eye because you could miss this, if you walk by too fast.  But you can see it in the picture above, if you look closely.  The  Metropolitan Correctional Center where Epstein died, is on a hill.  So in spite of, or because of, the cameras not working, the guards falling asleep, Jeffrey Epstein found his hill to die on.  Even if he didn’t want to.

  • 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.
