WHY BLUE COLLAR WORKERS DON’T VOTE DEMOCRAT

 

QUIT CALLING THEM STUPID!

 

This morning on a news program, there was a discussion about the Democratic Autopsy of the 2024 election.  Someone made the distinction between “educated voters” and “voters without a college education.”   The connotation comes off as ‘smart people vs stupid people.’ 

 

I cringe every time I hear this comparison made by a democratic proponent.

 

I didn’t go to college until I was forty-two years old.   Had I heard a comment like that during my twenty-two years as an enlisted man in the military, I would have said; Fuck those conceited bastards – and on that basis alone would have voted Republican. 

 

Why would a blue-collar voter vote for a party that considers them as the dumber portion of the electorate?

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT ANIMALS: BULLSHIT

 

As you enter old age, you get grumpier.  It is because you have seen it all before, and you know when to call bullshit.

 

I hate it when I’m in a restaurant and some woman – it’s always some older woman and her husband – comes in and sits near me with a small dog wearing an ‘emotional support’ vest.

 

The dog is not for emotional support - it’s for attention.

 

If it is a disabled person with a lab or German Shepherd that is actually needed for assistance, that’s fine; I’ll give up my seat for them.  But emotional support – that’s bullshit. 

 

Jim Jefferies is a shock jock.  If you feel his humor is in poor taste – which it is - fine, don’t watch him.   However, people who are disgusted by Jefferies'  humor will watch and defend Ricky Gervais, though he is just as crass.   Gervais just comes off as more likable.

My rocket is bigger than your rocket.

Size doesn't matter.

Yes it does.

At least mine doesn't explode on takeoff.

WHO IS ICE?

 

 

ICE recruitment offered a $50,000 sign-up bonus as the ICE surge began.

I wonder how many ICE agents were rioters during the January 6 insurrection?  How many convicted rioters that Trump pardoned are now ICE agents?   How many former militia members are now ICE agents?

It is easy to see the type of person who would line up to join ICE: the same type that showed up to attack the Nation’s Capital at Donald Trump's bidding on January 6: young men insecure in their manhood who want to dress up in combat gear and pretend to be badass.

 

They are all macho and aggressive in a group, but they wear masks because they are afraid to be identified as a individual.   

 

How many ICE agents does it take to arrest a six-year-old child?

WOULD THERE BE A RESPONSE IF PUTIN LAUNCHED AN TACTICAL NUKE AT UKRAIN?

 

We are living in dangerous times with nuclear weapons in the hands of aging dictators who are losing a grip on their authority and may feel unleashed from restraints.

For the first time, Russia launched the Oreshnik intermediate-range nuclear-capable ballistic missile – but fitted with a conventional warhead - at Ukraine.

No one in the West actually knows the health status of Vladimir Putin.  Born in 1952, he is 74 years old.   Russian authorities have denied rumors of adverse health conditions.  

   

It is being reported that Putin is paranoid.  Russia is experiencing massive losses of personnel on the battlefield.  Ukraine is now able to strike inside Russia.  There is no sign that the war will end soon.

Putin can't lose face, and it seems he can't win the war with conventional weapons; but he could bring the war to a swift and decisive end with a nuke.  The question is: would another nuclear nation respond in kind?

Is nuclear assured destruction a viable threat?

 I have my doubts

TOO MANY GOD DAMN CHOICES!

 

When you already have the best candy bar, why confuse it?

The candy counter should be: Snickers, Milky Way, Butterfinger, Payday, Hershey's Chocolate, and Reese's Peanut Cups.   One of each.

That's enough!

HOW TO WIN THE MEGABUCKS LOTTERY

 

 

I recently bought a $2.00 Maine Megabucks ticket.   I picked the magic numbers that assure a win:

11111 and 1 for the Megaball. 

Surprising?   No.

I have the exact same odds of winning with straight 1’s as any other group of mixed numbers: 1 in 4,496,388.

 

I think I’ll spend my next $2.00 on a Snickers candy bar; at least I’m guaranteed a sugar rush from that.
