  • Broke

    If you have had trouble logging on to the internet in the last week, it was Sydney Sweeny’s fault.  She broke it.  That is according to the Know It All’s and that’s Sydney pictured above breaking the internet.  Hey don’t complain to us.  We don’t make the news.  We just report it.

    And Don Lemon formerly of CNN said in an interview that now, he “can tell the truth”.  Does that sound familiar?  It seems to be the constant refrain of a whole lot of people who were whisked out of the What Once Was The Main Stream Media aka the WOWTMSM  and sent off to the cornfields.  Now you might wonder what were they all telling us before?  Our guess is, you already know.  Somewhere along the way, the so called Main Stream Media got broke.  They lost their way.  We don’t have the time or the space to list all the stories they made up, as opposed to the ones they just got wrong but its a long list.  Kind of like from New York to Miam or even L.A. if you play all the video.

    BTW we’re thinking of no longer calling it the What Once Was The Main Stream Media, aka the  WOWTMSM.  We’re thinking,  The Late Media.  And not late, as in being late, or staying out late.  No, we mean late, as in dead. 

    And the President of Iran Mashoud Pezeshkian, admitted that Iran’s economy is in deep doo doo and going broke!  Of course he’s not a President like a U.S. President or even the President of the Knights of Columbus, so whatever he says, doesn’t mean diddly squat.  But if that guy admits bleep, is broke, it’s broke for real.  Iran is not the internet and Pezeshkian, is not Sydney Sweeney.

  • Caprice Of Destiny

    Luigi Mangione who in case you forgot, shot and killed a United Health Care employee and shot him because the guy was a United Health Care employee. That Luigi Mangione, just let a whole lot of people down.  

    The shooting was captured on tape, so there was no doubt about what happened.  Just who was the shooter?  That got cleared up pretty quick, what with cameras everywhere and computerized everything.  Mangione was caught in a few days.

    But once he was captured, the WOWTMSM wet their pants, as Luigi Mangione was a really good looking guy.  Not since John Dillinger, did the WOWTMSM have such a killer.  And in turn, Mangione collected overnight, a legion of young, good looking women.  Or so says the WOWTMSM.  It could be a case with the WOWTMSM just making things up.  Nothing new there.  But then again, maybe they just don’t understand what a legion is, and six people might make up a legion in their minds.  It’s hard to tell, which is which here.

    And the WOWTMSM decided that this shooting, made it time, to discuss health care in America.

    So, the WOWMSM got themselves geared up for another Trial of the Century!  This time with the issue of health care in America, in the offing.  But alas, “the best laid scheme o’ mice an’ men / Gang aft agley.” as Mangione copped a plea.  No trial,  Boy, you could hear and feel the air rushing out of that balloon.  And now what would the legion of six do, except write love letters to and put money in the commissary of, one Luigi Mangione, in whatever prison he winds up in. 

    By the way, didn’t Obamacare solve the issue of Health Care in America?  What would the WOWTMSM talk about?  It costs too much?  Who’s fault is that?

    But no Trial of the Century for the WOWTMSM.  No breathless reporters standing in front of the Federal Court building in Foley Square, telling us all about the day’s actions in court, the blow by blow, the low down.  No, legal analysts saying over and over again, how all it takes is just one juror.  One juror who hates the Health Care System.  One juror and Mangione walks free, to be gobbled up by his legion of beautiful young legionettes, who would have grown to maybe two dozen.  Two legions maybe?  But no, no, Mangione said. that magic word.  “Guilty.”  So, it’s over.  

    Oh, what might have been!

  • The King Of The Kung Flu

    Dr. Fauci has become the darling of the media once again.  No, no longer the poster boy of the WOWTMSM for the Kung Flu.  No, this time, he’s the darling of the Paparazzi.  The Paparazzi have begun to  camp outside his home where they can get pictures of him throwing out the garbage and going for walks with his wife.  Fauci does not look happy.  Mrs. Fauci doesn’t look too happy either.  That’s her in the picture above giving instructions to the Paparazzi.  Hey we get it.  Fauci used to be somebody.

    Fauci used to be on every screen that the WOWTMSM had.  Fauci was on the cover of all the WOWTMSM’s magazines.  Fauci told everyone to wear masks.  Fauci closed all the schools.  Fauci told us all to stay home, to stay safe.  Fauci told us all to believe the science.  And then, well, Fauci was the science.  Fauci told us to take the vaccine.  Hell take two, no three, four, five shots.  What the hell, the vaccine was safe.

    And Fauci made a lot of money while he was at it too.  But like all con artists who play the game too long, the wheels began to come off.  But by then Fauci had exited stage left, retired with pension in hand and all the moola he made from the Kung Flu.  Fauci had his get out of Jail card too.

    So when called before the Senate one more time, all Fauci had to do is give some lame ass excuses.  You’ve seen those acts.  The Senators bellow for the video clips and the folks back home, while the subject just yada, yada, blah, blah, blahs their way through the hearing.  Yeah the subject looks stupid or maybe gives a quotable quote like.  “At this point Senator what difference does it make?”  But the subject is home free.  Hell, Fauci even had the pardon.  They couldn’t get him for anything he did while he was The King of the Kung Flu.

    But no.  Fauci began with “On the advice of counsel I respectfully decline to answer based on my rights under the fifth amendment.” and kept it up through 111 questions always repeating the whole statement.  Why he didn’t just say, “I plead da 5th.” like all the other lowlifes, who plead the 5th?  But then why did he plead the 5th?  He has that pardon.

    Maybe there are things that there are no pardons for.  Things so vile and licentious, that the penal code, can’t quite capture them.  Things that can’t be said out loud or even whispered.  And maybe Fauci, The Man Who Was The Science, The King of the Kung Flu, knows that, all too well.

  • Happy 250th Birthday USA

    There are always the naysayers.  The people who don’t like the United States of America.  The people who point out all the negatives.  But the United States can’t help being made up of human beings and human beings have transgressed everywhere they’ve roamed.  There is nothing unique about that in our 50 States and 5 territories.

    But the United States is unique in this world in many things.  The first and foremost, is we weren’t formed by some War Lord who managed to subdue, coerce or negotiate with other War Lords to get himself named the King, and the place, a country.  No, the United States of America begins with the stroke of a pen.  ‘When in the course of human events…’  And it turned out to be one hell of an event.  It changed the course of history.

    We were created by ideas and ideals.  They are ingrained in out founding document and all our laws.  We may fall short of those ideas and ideals from time to time, but they are ours.  We created them.  When President Lincoln spoke  about our nation on November 19th 1863 and said.  “that nation of the people, by the people and for the people”, we were the only place on the planet, where anyone, could cast a vote.

    When you go to work for the government in any capacity, the military, the legislatures, as civil servants, or anyone having anything to do with the workings of government, you take an oath.  And that oath is not to the King, The Queen or whatever Potentate is running the show.  You don’t even take an oath to the country or even its people.  You take an oath to preserve, protect and defend, the Constitution, our ideas and ideals.

    So when the naysayers whine, cry and bemoan this or that about the good ole U.S. of A, just remember, we invented this thing called Liberty.  It’s our way of life.  It was and is, a pathway, for the rest of the human race to follow.

  • Have You Been Paying Attention?

    Certain things have appeared in the WOWTMSM since the kerfuffle with the Iranian regime began and we were just wondering if people were paying attention.  This is not an official quiz.  There will be no prizes.  But have you heard these?

    Another forever war.

    America has no plan.

    The war is expanding.

    America is running out of missiles.

    The Houthis have entered the conflict.

    The war is expanding.

    The IRGC will wait till the bombs stop, crawl out of their holes and start the regime all over again like nothing happened, other than a lot of guys will have gotten promoted.

    Iran still has a nuclear program that they can start over in three weeks, no two weeks, no by next Tuesday.

    The war is expanding.

    Another forever war.

    This war is like ‘Whac-A-Mol’e, kill one IRGC or Basij leader and another pops up.

    The war is expanding.

    The IRGC and the Basij militia will go into Guerilla war mode after the bombing stops.

    The Terrorists have won.

    Another forever war.

    And now to see if you have been paying attention.  But just two questions because as previously mentioned, this is not an official quiz.

    Question 1)  How many of the above statements have appeared in the WOWTMSM?

    A.  8  

    B.  5 

    C.  All of them except, the Terrorists have won.

    D.  2

    Question 2)  How many of them turned out to be true?

    A.  All of them.

    B.  10

    C.  None

    D. 1.

    Answers

    Question 1)  Correct answer C.  All except the Terrorists have won.  We haven’t heard that one in a long time.  It was big after 9/11.  We just threw that in to be funny.

    Question 2)  Correct answer C, none.  But if you picked D, we’ll give that to you because the Houthis did fire one missile at Israel and they kept announcing that they were going to join the war even if they never did.  We’re not hard task masters.

    If watching and listening to the WOWTMSM has left you perplexed don’t worry, as they don’t worry about it too much either.

  • 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?
