National Dog Day

I am an unapologetic misanthrope. I believe organized religion is a curse and a blight on humanity, but there may be some truth to the Calvinist belief in the total depravity of man. History is a record of our incorrigible inhumanity towards each other and our fellow creatures. In short, I would be averse to celebrating National Humanity Day. (if such a holiday existed)

Today is National Dog Day and it is celebrated every year on August 26 and is dedicated to the love of man’s best friend. Though I am loath to celebrate National Humanity Day, I enthusiastically celebrate National Dog Day.

Canines exude love, loyalty and loveliness, and humans have a natural affinity for these furry angels. I would never deduce that a total stranger is a “good man” or a “good woman”, there’s always something offsetting about even the best of us. But I do not know how many times I’ve petted a pooch I’ve just met and told him, “Good Boy.”

Dogs are our better angels, and they bring out the best in us. I find it difficult to trust people, but I tend to give the benefit of the doubt to a person who owns a dog or a cat. If humanity is ever successful in climbing out of its moral cesspool it will be because we learn to value and love our fellow animals. A dog will lead us to salvation.

Evangelical Movies are Cheesy & Cringey

“An overwhelming majority of Protestants view Christian movies as effective evangelism tools even as most churchgoers remain hesitant about sharing such films with their non-Christian friends, a new survey reveals.

When asked if they viewed Christian movies as effective evangelism tools, 81% of respondents answered in the affirmative.”

ChrsitianPost.Com

So-called “faith movies” or “Christian movies” are cringy, corny and cheesy and a total waste of money and time for a non-Christian who is corralled into watching them by their evangelical friends or family.

Christian movies are so bad that evangelicals rarely invite non-believers to watch them, because they instinctively know that they will be repulsed by the propagandist nature of these paint-by-the-numbers flicks.

Producers of Christian movies know that their core audience sees things in black and white, therefore they avoid any trace of nuance or subtlety. In fact, these flicks have all the subtlety of a sermon delivered by a fire and brimstone evangelist.

The “stars” of these motion pictures are washed-up actors like Jim Caviezel, Kirk Cameron, Stephen Baldwin, Kevin Sorbo and John Schneider.

I would rather watch a North Korean propaganda film than a Christian movie.

JD Vance’s Donut Shop Visit Awkward as Hell

Americans identify with Homer Simpson’s love for donuts. His orgasmic delight in gobbling his favorite pink frosted donuts with multicolored sprinkles is a metaphor for our urge for instant gratification with products of dubious nutritious values.

JD Vance’s campaign team thought that orchestrating a photo op at a donut shop would be a perfect way to demonstrate that he is a normal guy, and not a weird asshole.

JD Vance’s interaction with workers at a donut shop went epically awry.

After looking at the donut display case, he said: “I’m JD Vance, I’m running for vice president, good to see you.” “OK” is the only response from the employee. She was not impressed with her weird customer and wanted the interaction with him to be as brief as possible.

When a regular guy enters a donut shop, he mutters “mmm donuts” and orders his favorite donut. Only a weird character would ask for an assortment of “whatever makes sense.”

Vance has also gone viral for comments about Diet Mountain Dew and Swiss cheese on a cheesesteak sub restaurant in Philadelphia.

His comments about subjects that have nothing to do with food are even weirder. Witness his comment about our country being “run by childless cat ladies” and his belief that people with children should be rewarded extra votes.

The only way that this photo op could have gone worse is if the shop had a couch and he decided to have carnal relations with the couch instead of ordering donuts.

Barack Obama Destroys Trump with Quip about his Weird Obsession with Crowd Sizes

Tuesday night the rock stars of the Democratic Party, Barack and Michelle Obama, were at center stage and they didn’t disappoint.

Michelle Obama was up first and the former first lady delivered a blistering address, taking roundhouse punches at disgraced former President Trump, while rarely naming the steaming pile of human shit.

Former President Barack Obama was eloquent and inspirational appealing to our better angels to rise above the divisiveness and chaos in large part created by Trump.

But with this punchline, demonstrating the timing of a professional comic he eviscerated his nemesis:

“Here is a 78-year-old billionaire who has not stopped whining about his problems since he rode down his golden escalator nine years ago. There’s the childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with crowd sizes.”

In Obama’s ferocious takedown of Trump, he used the word “weird” that has come to define the former president, his running mate and his MAGA supporters. Trump is many things, racist, cruel, vindictive, petty, obscene, and infantile, but it is a weird vibe that permeates all these vices.  

Obama is spot on, the blithering idiot has not stopped whining since he rode down his golden escalator, and we are sick and tired of the whining incontinent toddler.

Enough with his juvenile nicknames, the weird conspiracy theories, and his weird obsession with crowd sizes.

When Obama made the crack about weird obsession with crowd sizes, he made a suggestive gesture that left no doubt that he was mocking Trump’s tiny mushroom-shaped penis.

Thank you, Barack Obama, the nation owes you a debt of gratitude for destroying Trump with one epic broadside.

‘Evangelicals for Harris’ May Tip Scales in favor of Kamala Harris

“We certainly didn’t have ‘Evangelicals for Harris’ on our 2024 bingo card, but apparently it’s a real thing. The group hosted a Zoom call yesterday evening with… 40,000 people. Not only that, but it’s also started rolling out an attack ad against Donald Trump targeting Christian voters in swing states, urging them to read their Bibles before casting their ballots for the thrice-married, 34-time convicted felon/fraudster/sexual abuser who doesn’t go to church.”

Queerty.Com

Ever since his first presidential run in 2015 Donald Trump has held white evangelicals in the palms of his freakishly small hands. He takes their votes for granted, indeed as their messiah, he takes their donations and slavish devotion to him for granted as well.

Vice President Kamala Harris is surging in the polls, and in less than a month she has managed to overtake Trump in popularity in the swing states. The electorate is embracing the normalcy and gaiety of the Harris campaign, and some formerly Trump loyalists are jumping of the Trump train and joining Harris’ crusade to save democracy. With the sociopath’s numbers plunging, he can’t afford to lose the support of any white evangelicals.

“Evangelicals for Harris” isn’t a parody, it’s a real thing. The initial ad from “Evangelicals for Harris” is urging evangelicals to “read their Bibles before casting their ballots for the thrice-married, 34-time convicted felon/fraudster/sexual abuser who doesn’t go to church.”

If evangelicals read the damn Bible instead of using it as a cudgel to beat anyone who doesn’t share their Neanderthal views they might reconsider their support for the amoral orange degenerate.

If only a hundred thousand evangelicals experience an epiphany after reading the Good Book and forsake the evil Trump and change their allegiance to Harris it might make the difference in a close election.

The vast majority of brainwashed white evangelicals will support Trump no matter what, but I’m hoping that the efforts of “Evangelicals for Harris” will siphon off enough votes to give her the victory.

Kamalanomenon: Kamala Harris is a Pop Culture Phenomenon

Before Kamala Harris became the Democratic presidential nominee, she was considered a political lightweight with a penchant for tossing word salads and cackling like a witch on crack. She had little respect, little influence, and the gravitas of a flea.

But when President Joe Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed her, she consolidated her power in lightning speed to the extent that no one challenged her for the nomination, and her most formidable rivals quickly endorsed her.

Kamala’s first major decision as a presidential nominee was a masterstroke, she chose the affable, personable everyman Tim Walz as her running mate. Harris who laughs at the drop of a dime and Walz who always has a smile dancing on his lips are political heavyweights and a pop culture phenomenon known as Kamalanomenon.

The Joe Biden presidential campaign was on life support, but the Kamala Harris campaign is on fire. Her rallies fill arenas, her campaign coffers are overflowing, and millions are signing up as volunteers.

The joyful duo is steamrolling the mean weirdos in the polls and in the affection of the electorate. Harris is dominating the news cycles as well as the social media buzz, she’s the hotting thing in pop culture. I am all in on Kamalanomenon, I have a Harris sign and garden flag on my front porch. If you want to save our democracy from the likes of Trump and Vance, you need to get with the program and do everything in your power to elect Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are Spreading the Joy

When Vice President Kamala Harris, dubbed “Laffin’ Kamala” by Trump, was considering whom to anoint as her running mate, there was a deep bench of qualified contenders: astronaut hero Sen. Mark Kelly, straight from central casting California Governor Gavin Newsom, wildly popular Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and youthful Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, to name a few.

Harris did not go for ideological or geological balance, instead she doubled down on the joy factor. Harris, who will burst into laughter at the drop of a dime, chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who is renowned for his jovial demeanor. Walz is the quintessential happy warrior whose enthusiastic nature never dims even when interacting with the political opposition.

During the vetting process Harris and Walz clicked, they shared the same gleeful vibe. Their cheerfulness is infectious, and their campaign rallies match Trump’s in crowd size, and exceed his in exuberance and exultation. These joyful warriors are drowning out Trump’s gloom and doom with their hopeful vision of liberty and freedom for everyone, including racial, religious, and sexual minorities.

When I consider these gleeful politicians not only do I feel motivated to vote for them, but I wish I could hug them and share in their rapture.

It is with a sense of elation that I will vote the Harris/Walz ticket.

Tim Walz ‘Tampon Tim’ for Vice President

“As governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, now Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’ running mate, signed a bill into law requiring school districts to place tampons and pads in girls’ bathrooms in schools serving grades 4-12.

The law required tampons to be placed in all school bathrooms, including the boys’ room.

Detroit Free Press

Tim Walz is the quintessential suburban dad you don’t mind sharing a beer with and discussing sports, current events, or even politics.

With his white hair, bald pate, beer belly and jovial expression, you would expect him to be a postal worker, auto mechanic or a baker, instead of a politician.

Republicans are desperate to produce a credible attack line against such a pleasant character; how can you denigrate a gentleman with such an impressive Resume: former teacher, high school football coach, and 24 years of military service?

The best they can do is dub him “Tampon Tim” for signing a bill requiring schools to place free tampons and pads in all bathrooms, including boys’ bathrooms, for the convenience of trans students.

I applaud Walz for signing this bill into law, it demonstrates his empathy for all female students and especially those who may not have the financial resources to afford female sanitary products.

And it’s not a federal crime or a mortal sin for a tampon dispenser to be placed in a boys’ restroom. It’s an acknowledgement that there may be trans or binary students who use the boys’ restroom.

I’m voting for “Tampon Tim”, I can count on him to represent all Americans, including sexual, religious and racial minorities.

Cowardly Donald Trump Afraid to Debate Kamala Harris

Donald Trump’s debate performance against Joe Biden was as chaotic, confusing, and just plain crazy as his typical MAGA rally diatribe. He spewed falsehoods without real-time fact-checking from the moderators or his opponent. He refused to back down from his vow to seek retribution, refused to condemn the January 6 insurrectionists and refused to say that he would accept the results of the 2024 election if he lost.

However, history will record Trump as the undisputed winner of the debate because his opponent was a cognitively impaired, physical frail, living skeleton who stared into space with mouth agape when Trump was speaking, and uttered gibberish when it was his turn to speak.

Biden’s debate performance was so dreadful that Democratic leaders forced him to drop out of the race. Before Biden dropped out Trump boasted that he would love to debate Biden again, anytime, and anyplace.

But now that he is facing a much younger Kamala Harris Trump is scared shitless about another debate. He backed out of a debate that had already been set to run on ABC.

Now Trump is saying that he will only debate Harris on Trump-friendly Fox News in a setting that will include a MAGA audience that will cheer any lie, obscenity and nonsense that emanates from his sphincter-shaped mouth.

What happened to “I will debate my opponent anytime, anywhere”? Harris insists she will show up for the previously scheduled ABC debate, and if the cowardly Trump does not show up, she will debate an empty chair.

The orange clown has a yellow stripe a mile wide. He should man up, don his big boy diapers and debate Harris on ABC.

Kamala Harris Will Have the Last Laugh

Vice President Kamala Harris has an impressive political resume, and she is policy oriented in her stump speeches. She has made abortion central to her candidacy for president as Republicans struggle to defend their archaic views on the issue.

Republicans have not focused on her solid qualifications or her well-articulated policies as much as they have zeroed in on her laughter. Granted Harris has a distinctive laugh that can more accurately be described as a cackle, but it is a joke that her joyful persona is attacked and ridiculed.

Black women cannot express any emotion without being ridiculed by racist conservatives. When Black women, especially politicians like Michelle Obama, speak out against the injustices and obstacles that African Americans face, they are labeled “angry Black women.”

When Harris cackles as an expression of her joy or amusement she is demonized and mocked for her merriment. Republicans do not want black women to express any emotion, they would prefer them to remain silent and compliant.

How can any woman of color, especially a politician, remain silent in the face of institutionalized racism, police brutality against Black people, and the GOP platform that would take us back to the 1950’s?

Donald Trump has christened Harris with a new nickname, “laughing Kamala.” “You can tell a lot by a laugh,” said the sociopath who never laughs. “She’s crazy, she’s nuts.”

There is nothing new under the sun, women who laughed too much in the 19th century were diagnosed with hysteria.

America needs less of Trump’s venom and vile and more of Harris’ laughter and good cheer.

Get used to Kamala’s cackle you racist idiots, Kamala will have the last laugh when she wins this November.

I’ve Fallen in Love with Cackling Kamala Harris

Kamla Harris is no lightweight, she has an impressive resume: District Attorney of San Francisco, Attorney General of California, Senator of California, Vice President under Biden, and hopefully her distinguished political career will culminate as President of the United States.

Republicans denigrate this formidable woman as a kooky liberal with an obsession with Venn Diagrams, coconuts, and yellow school buses. Although she is an eloquent speaker sometimes, she mixes some word salads that make Joe Biden seem like a sharp and eloquent speaker.

I admit that at first, I was not too impressed with Harris, I just could not get past her cackle. I thought to myself if the cackling like a witch on crack did not work for a famous, powerful and connected white woman like Hillary Clinton, it sure as hell isn’t going to work for a Black/Indian woman.

But I was blown over by Harris’ impressive campaign rollout, in a matter of days she solidified support to the extent that no candidate emerged to challenge her for the Democratic nomination.

I am even getting used to her cackle; I love her cackle. Her cackle sooths and warms my soul, I will cackle along with her when she clobbers Trump this November.

Donald Trump: ‘I’m Not a Christian’

If you told a rational and normal person that Donald Trump is not a Christian, he would most likely respond: No shit! You do not have to be a rocket scientist or a theologian to deduce that a pathological liar, serial adulterer, sexual predator, convicted fraudster, blatant racist and wannabe dictator is not a Christian. In fact, if a Democrat presidential nominee possessed all of these grievous traits evangelicals would think he was the antichrist.

Not only do evangelicals think Trump is a Christian, but they worship him as messiah, accepting every obscenity, lie and absurdity that emanates from his sphincter-shaped mouth as the Gospel truth.

Evangelicals accept Trump as one of their own even though he almost never attends church, and he has never claimed to be born again or an evangelical.

At the Turning Point Believers’ Summit in West Palm Beach made the following statement to raucous applause.

“I love you, my Christians, I’m not Christian. Get out and vote. Just this time. You’ll never have to do it again. We will have it fixed.”

This is one of the rare times when Trump spoke the truth. He loves evangelicals the same way that a con artist loves marks. How can the golden calf not love the cash cow?

Whether unintentionally or not, Trump finally admitted that he’s not a Christian. Evangelicals are so used to applauding any nonsense that their orange messiah utters that it’s not surprising that they clapped when he admitted that he’s not a Christian.

Trump told his evangelical audience that if they vote for him, they will never have to vote again. Trump has already said that he will be a dictator from day one, and if he returns to power, he will turn our democracy into a white Christian nationalist dictatorship, and there will be no more elections.

Trump told the evangelicals at the Believers’ Summit exactly who he is, but they are so brainwashed that they will still vote for him.

Franklin Graham: ‘God Saved Trump’

On the final night of Trump con aka the Republican National Convention, evangelical huckster Franklin Graham prayed for Donald Trump. “God spared his life”, he said alluding to the assassination attempt on his Orange Messiah five days earlier.

The last night of the convention featured the likes of ageing wrestler Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO Dana White, dumb-ass Kid Rock, and the aforementioned Franklin Graham. “Birds of a feather flock together.”

As Graham surveyed the sea of white Republicans with their red MAGA hats, he pandered to the audience by proclaiming that “God spared Trump.”

Trump’s prayer is wrong on so many levels. In the first place, what was a “man of God” doing praying for an amoral psychopath, in a political convention that demonized immigrants, Democrats and trans people?

To say that the Almighty altered the trajectory of a bullet to save the life of a convicted felon, serial adulterer, rapist, pathological liar, fraudster, and raving lunatic is to impugn the character and wisdom of God.

If God saved the steaming pile of human shit known as Trump but allowed a bullet to explode the head of a volunteer firefighter who shielded his family with his own body, then I do not want anything to do with Franklin Graham’s God.

A true man of God, a genuine prophet would have attended the Republican National Convention only to pray that Trump and his supporters would repent from their wickedness.

The Racist Backlash Against Kamala Harris Begins

When President Joe Biden finally came to his senses and dropped his re-election bid, and enthusiastically endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, it immediately energized the Democratic base who were thrilled to have a much younger politician as their standard bearer.

At the same time, it panicked Republicans who were expecting a landslide win over the physically frail and cognitively impaired Joe Biden. They could not credibly attack Harris’ impressive resume as a former district attorney of San Francisco, Attorney General of California, Senator of California, and her stint as vice president under Biden, so they resorted to their go-to strategy of attacking her gender and race.

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., called Harris a “DEI vice president” on social media, referring to workplace policies that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. Affixing the DEI label on a Black politician is equivalent to calling them the N-word.

And this morning on “Fox and Friends” Brian Kilmeade exposed his racism by complaining that Harris would not be attending Netanyahu’s joint session of Congress with this racist diatribe:

“She will not show up for the Prime Minister’s joint session of Congress…She’d rather address in the summer a sorority, a colored sorority, like she can’t get outta that!”

Referring to a distinguished and historic African American sorority as “colored” is reprehensible and blatantly racist.

Many Democratic senators and congresspersons, and even some Republicans will not attend the Netanyahu shit show because they refuse to honor the indicted and corrupt leader of Israel who is committing genocide against the Palestinians.

I applaud Harris for skipping the Netanyahu circus, and that is just one of a hundred reasons why I’m voting for her.

Things are going to get a lot uglier as Harris climbs in the polls, and the only way to smash this racism is by making sure she wins.

Vote!

Biden Must Be Forced to Drop Out

In a perfect world Joe Biden and Donald Trump would be antagonists in a nursing home where their words and actions would not impact anyone outside the sterile walls of their institution.

Biden yells at Trump: No Joke! You are full of malarky. You aren’t the king of me, and you aren’t the king of this rest home. I rid America of super predators and defeated Corn Pop, King of the projects. I am Dark Brandon, Lord of the Universe!

Trump responds: This rest home should be named after me! I have the best brain in the world, the likes of which the world has never seen. I am the Grand Poobah of all I survey, witness how the peasants rush to change my diapers!

The world is far from perfect, and in the waning days of our democracy two extremely imperfect politicians are running for the most exalted office, president of the United States and Leader of the Free World.

Trump is a delusional and demented psychopath who seethes over every perceived injustice and whose syphilis-infected brain is set on retribution and revenge.

Biden is a delusional and demented octogenarian who seethes over every politician, pundit and reporter who acknowledges the truth that his brain is oatmeal and that he is way past his expiration date.

Biden and Trump have one common deficiency, stubbornness. In his third presidential run Trump is the undisputed leader of the GOP, Congressional Republicans and the Republican National Convention serve only to do his bidding. But when Trump ran for president in 2015, he was the outsider, the reality show celeb, the buffoon billionaire, and everyone thought he was running only to burnish his brand. The Republican establishment, the media (conservative and liberal), the intelligentsia and even most evangelicals were against him. But his stubbornness and egotistical belief in himself prevailed against all odds.

President Joe Biden, 81, has spent his entire adult life in politics. After 50 years in public service, and a couple of failed presidential campaigns, he finally became president in 2020.

General stubbornness is a hallmark of dementia, and Biden is too stubborn to relinquish his power even though he is incapable of uttering a complete sentence or exiting a stage after delivering an incoherent speech.

Biden is stubborn as hell. He won’t listen to the polls. He won’t listen to the chorus of Congressional Democrats who are urging him to drop out. He won’t listen to the pundits and editorial boards of mainstream newspapers who are begging him to quit. He won’t listen to Nancy Pelosi, and he won’t even listen to Barack Obama, who was the messiah of the Democratic Party before Donald Trump was the messiah of the Republican Party. He’s still bitter that Obama pushed him aside for Queen Hillary in 2015. He won’t even listen to Corn Pop if he came back from the dead and he threatened to cut off his sagging balls if he doesn’t quit.

Trump is a delusional psychopath who is morally, physically, and intellectually unfit for office, but no power on Earth can stop him from reclaiming his throne. His MAGA followers share his delusion that he has been divinely anointed to return to power.

 Biden is a delusional octogenarian who is physically and mentally unfit for office, and he will drop out only if the Lord God Almighty comes down to the White House to give him his pink slip. But God hasn’t made any house calls since Old Testament days. Democrats don’t share his delusion, according to polls about 65 percent of Democrats don’t want him to run for reelection.

What can save us from the nightmare of a second Trump administration? I’m not depending on the good Lord to knock some sense into Biden, and I’m not placing my hopes on an assassin with better aim.

Biden must be forced to drop out by any means necessary, it is incumbent upon every Democratic leader who cares about preserving our democracy to publicly urge Biden to quit. If all else fails, there’s always the 25th amendment.

New York Magazine Sparks Outrage for Cover Featuring Biden and Trump in Their Underwear

New York Magazine’s new cover depicts Donald Trump and Joe Biden, standing on scales in nothing but clean white underwear.

The current “Health” issue, featuring medical news and breakthroughs, and in particular Joe Biden’s physical and mental deterioration.

There is outrage on social media, with many calling the controversial cover disgusting, disturbing, and demeaning.

My take? Bitch, please! Neither of these presidential candidates is worthy of respect and deference. Trump is a pathological liar, sexual predator, convicted felon, and failed insurrectionist and Biden is a decrepit and demented walking corpse who refuses to drop out of the race even if it means that not only will he lose to Trump, but his presence at the top of the ticket will result in Republicans hanging on to the House and gaining control of the Senate.

The cover shows Trump wearing tighty whities and Biden sporting white boxers. This illustration is sanitized beyond imagination, and neither Trump nor Biden supporters should be complaining. The fact is that they both wear diapers smeared with feces, drenched in urine, and soaked in sweat.

When I look at the cover I’m disgusted and disturbed, not because of the graphic nature of the illustration. I’m appalled that the greatest democracy in the world couldn’t come up with better presidential candidates than these two sick douche bags.

Jill Biden is an Evil Ventriloquist Who Will Never Allow Her Dummy Joe Biden to Drop Out

Joe Biden is a career politician, he became a senator at the tender age of 30, the minimum age to become a senator, and almost fifty years later at age of 78 he became the President of the United States.  

Politics is the lifeblood of Biden, he loves campaigning, shaking hands of constituents, kissing babies, and groping young girls. Despite his life-long struggle with stuttering, his penchant for making gaffes and in his later years his battle with dementia, he loves making stump speeches and interacting with the press.

But most of all he loves the power and prestige of the presidency. Power is an intoxicating elixir, and it’s the potion that’s keeping the decrepit octogenarian alive.

Biden is loath to relinquish his death grip on power, he seems to know that retirement from politics means that he will soon meet his maker.

Like a baby holding on to his bottle or a drunk gripping his bottle of cheap wine, Biden refuses to drop out of the race, even though at some level, despite his dementia, he must know that he would lose in a landslide to Donald Trump.

Unfortunately, Biden’s closet aides are his power-hungry wife Jill Biden and his reprobate son, Hunter Biden. Joe Biden has mush for brains, it’s his wife in coordination with his staff who really run the White House.

Jill Biden is the ventriloquist who speaks through her dummy, the decrepit octogenarian who suffers from dementia, Joe Biden. And the dummy is insisting that he will never drop out of the presidential race.

Therefore, it’s incumbent upon Democratic leaders to save us from the nightmare of a second Trump term, and force Joe Biden to drop out, by any means necessary.

Rest in Peace Richard Simmons, Queen of the Fitness Gurus

Richard Simmons was almost 300 pounds when he graduated from high school. None of his peers, friends or family would have imagined that this pudgy nerd would grow up to be one of the most famous fitness gurus.

No other fitness celebrity looked like Richard Simmons, he did not possess the steroids- enhanced muscularity of a Arnold Schwarzenegger or the macho persona of a Chuck Norris. He looked like the average guy who works out in the hopes of keeping in shape, and not becoming a hulky babe magnet.

And no one in his wildly popular exercise videos looked like jocks or fitness queens. The people working out in his “Sweating to the Oldies” videos were overweight regular folks that you might meet at the supermarket, laundromat, or fast-food joint.

But there was one quality that made Richard Simmons stand out, his flamboyantly gay vibe. Simmons never came out, but you did not need gaydar to deduce that he did not cultivate a primarily female following because he was sexually attracted to them.

Simmons was instantly recognizable in his short shorts, shaved and oiled legs, frizzly hair, and sparkly tank tops, or were they halter tops?

Simmons was sexually ambiguous before it was cool to be part of the LGBTQ community. He never marched in a Pride parade, but he flew his freak flag high, and sashayed to the tune of his own drummer.

RIP Richard Simmons. I’m sure that you are sweating to the oldies with the apostles, prophets and angels in heaven.

Biden Makes Epic Gaffe in His ‘Big Boy’ Press Conference

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre billed President Joe Biden’s first press conference in eight months as his “Big Boy” presser. In preparation for his big moment, I am sure the octogenarian girded his loins with his Big Boy diapers, swallowed a double shot of Geritol, and uttered a quick Hail Mary.

But it seems that the Virgin Mary and even God Almighty Himself cannot unscramble Biden’s dementia-impaired brain.

In an ominous portent of things to come, shortly before his momentous question and answer session, he mistakenly referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as President Putin when introducing him at a NATO event.

The geriatric gaffe-prone commander-in-chief started his gabfest by referring to Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump,” thereby providing Donald Trump with more ammunition to use against him.

Biden’s much-anticipated press conference was not an unmitigated disaster like his debate with Donald Trump, but it did little to quell the fears that he is mentally unfit to serve another four years in the Oval Office. Biden said ‘anyway’ repeatedly when he lost his train of thought or forgot what he was going to say. “Anyway” is shorthand for “please forgive me I’m having another Senior Moment.”

A hundred mediocre press conference performances are incapable of making us forget his disastrous debate.

I am hoping and praying for one more speech from Biden, an announcement that he is not seeking reelection.

Biden is an International Embarrassment, Democrats Must Force Him to Drop Out

According to the old bromide “when America sneezes, the world catches a cold.” I’d like to coin a new saying, “When the President of the United States and the Leader of the Free World has dementia, the world goes batshit crazy.”

With the Russian invasion of Ukraine threatening to spiral into a world war, the Israel/Hamas holy conflagration threatening to turn into a regional war entangling Iran and the USA and North Korea threatening to strike South Korea and the United States with nuclear weapons, we need a steady hand and a sober mind in the White House.

After the debate debacle it is abundantly clear that not only is President Joe Biden physical and mentally unfit to run for reelection, but he is also manifestly unfit to serve as president right now.

Not only is Biden refusing to drop out of the race, but in a fit of intransigence and stubbornness, he vowed that the “elites” will not drive him out of the race.

Our European allies are terrified that Biden will lose, and that Trump will stop supporting Ukraine and exit NATO. Americans are horrified at the prospect that an emboldened Trump without any guardrails will destroy our democracy.

Senile Joe Biden will lose to Donald Trump in a landslide, and he will be a drag on the down ballot turning the Senate and the House over to the Republicans.

God is not going to smite Biden with a heart attack, it is up to Democratic leaders to stop him in his tracks, by any means necessary.

Democrats: Stop the national embarrassment! Stop the international humiliation! For the love of God get rid of Biden, immediately.

Stubbornness is a Hallmark of Dementia, Biden Must be Forced to Drop Out

I am not a neurologist or a psychologist, but neither am I blind or deaf, and I can deduce that President Joe Biden is an octogenarian with serious physical and cognitive issues. His slurring speech, incoherent comments, slow gait and his penchant for standing open with his mouth agape are indicative of a physically frail person suffering from dementia.

If your grandfather is suffering from Alzheimer’s or dementia, you do not expect him to make important decisions regarding his finances or medical care. If you are his caregiver, you make those decisions for him, and about the only choice you allow him to make is if he wants oatmeal or scrambled eggs for breakfast.

After Biden’s complete meltdown at the debate, many pundits and politicians are suggesting that we should give him time to realize that he is no longer physically and mentally fit to be president and allow him to drop out with a measure of grace and dignity.

Hello? Biden’s mind is shattered, he is incapable of realizing or admitting that he is cognitively challenged and unfit to serve as president.

General stubbornness is a hallmark of dementia, and Biden is too stubborn to relinquish his power even though he is incapable of uttering a complete sentence or exiting a stage after delivering an incoherent speech.

Six out of 10 people living with dementia wander at least once, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. When Biden is in a public stage with foreign dignitaries he often wanders away from the group, until his wife or an aide takes him by the arm and nudges him back.

Patients with dementia often develop delusions or false beliefs, and Biden is under the delusion that despite his dementia and poor polls he is the only one who can defeat Donald Trump.

Two years ago, Biden should have had the humility and grace to announce that he was not running for reelection, and anointed Kamala Harris as his worthy successor.

Biden isn’t going to drop out of the race, it’s incumbent upon Democratic leaders to force him to drop out by any means necessary.

If Biden remains the Democratic presidential nominee, he will lose, and a Trump with no guardrails will destroy our democracy.

Top Democrats Must Force Biden to Drop Out

President Joe Biden remained resolute and defiant in the closely monitored interview with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos.

The seasoned anchor deftly and diplomatically detailed all the reasons, (his physical and mental decline, sagging polls, the increasing number of Americans who don’t want him to run for reelection, donors’ reluctance to continue to finance his campaign and Democratic House members who have called on him to step down), why he should consider stepping down.

Finally, the selfish and stubborn Biden exclaimed that only the Lord Almighty could convince him to end his bid for re-election. The octogenarian commander-in-chief may be a devout Catholic, but if the Lord God Almighty came down to the White House, and pimp-slapped Biden with his own rosary beads, and ordered him to stand down, he would pretend that he could not hear the Lord’s admonishment.

Only a higher power than former president Barack Obama or God Himself could persuade Biden to face the reality that he’s too physically decrepit and cognitively damaged to serve as president.

But Jill Biden loves being on the cover of Vogue too much, and she loves being the power behind the throne too much, to stop her elder abuse and instruct her husband to step down.

Joe Biden had the opportunity to relinquish power with grace, humility and dignity, but now he no longer possesses the mental acuity to make any decision more complicated than what color socks he should wear.

It’s Jill who makes all the decisions for her senile husband, and the leaders of the Democratic Party should force the president not to seek a second term, before it’s too late.

Damn Jill Biden for Propping Up Senile & Decrepit Joe Biden

“Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) suggested that the ‘only thing’ that could adjust President Biden’s decision about staying in the race post-debate is poll numbers.

Quigley emphasized during an interview Tuesday on CNN that Biden’s decision to continue is his alone, following a rocky debate performance last week against former President Trump. The Illinois Democrat suggested that weak polling in the wake of the event is the only thing that could sway the incumbent.”

The Hill

Quigley is dead wrong on his analysis of what metrics may cause President Joe Biden to step down.

Quigley emphasized that Biden’s decision to stay in office is his alone, but that implies that the octogenarian possesses the cognitive ability to weigh the pros and cons of his actions. Biden does not have the mental acuity to determine if the best salve to apply to his irritated incontinent rectum is Vaseline or strawberry jam.

At this late stage of his cognitive decline Biden has a tough time adding 2 + 2, never mind trying to decipher polling results.

You do not have to be a rocket scientist, neurologist or a political pundit to discern that Biden’s debate debacle means that he should immediately step down and allow Kamala Harris to finish the remainder of his term.

The few polls that have been released after the debate debacle reflect a slight surge in favor of Trump:

“Republican Donald Trump has edged ahead of Democrat Joe Biden, 41% to 38%, in the aftermath of the candidates’ rancorous debate last week, according to an exclusive USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll.

That narrow advantage has opened since the previous survey in May showed the two contenders tied, 37% to 37%.”

USA Today

But it is not polls that will determine Biden’s course of action, it’s up to Jill Biden. Joe does not have a mind, it’s his wife, guilty of elder abuse, who will make the ultimate decision.

She is the real power behind the throne, and she is loath to relinquish her power. She will continue to prop up the doddering and decrepit Biden, even if it means that the amoral, vindictive, racist piece of shit Trump wins.

Biden’s Dreadful Debate Has Doomed His Reelection Bid

My thoughts on last night’s debate:

Donald Trump did not engage in conventional debate preparation like participating in mock debates. He relied on his innate ability to adlib, and he spoke simply, albeit crazily in a manner that resonated with his deluded supporters.

The stable genius’ lack of debate preparation was manifest in his answers which were bereft of nuance and detail. His replies to the straightforward questions posed by the moderators had almost nothing to do with the topic at hand, instead his used his allotted two minutes per question to ramble incoherently about his favorite topics and conspiracy theories, namely immigration, crime and the “rigged” 2020 election.

But I give the former president credit for dialing down his rhetoric a couple of notches, Debate Trump was not as wacky and inflammatory as Maga Rally Trump. His replies were lacking in substance and insight, but he scored points with his forceful and confident delivery.

Liberal critics complained that the pathological liar’s false claims were not fact-checked in real time by the moderators. But it was an impossible task for the moderators to fact-check him when virtually every utterance that emanated from his sphincter-shaped mouth was a lie.

Trump’s debate performance was uneven and lackluster, but compared to Joe Biden’s dreadful performance, he was Reaganesque. The octogenarian’s performance was an unmitigated disaster. The 81-year-old incumbent had one job, and one job only, prove to a skeptical electorate that he still possessed the mental acuity to serve another term. He failed. Miserably.

From the moment he gingerly and tentatively walked to his podium, he looked defeated, downcast and disoriented. His raspy and barely audible voice, deer-in-the headlight stare, inability to complete a sentence and frequent loss of train of thought were enough to convince even the most diehard supporter that he is mentally unfit to be president.

At one point Biden froze for a few seconds, his apologists can’t explain this disturbing cognitive fail as a cheap fake. Biden is a dead man walking, he isn’t low-energy Joe, he’s rigor mortis Joe.

Presidential debates have a history of candidates having one viral moment that sabotages their performance, witness Gerald Ford’s “Free Poland” gaffe. But it wasn’t one mistake that doomed Biden, the entire evening was dominated by his incoherence, mental instability and inability to respond with a cogent thought.

I am a progressive who thinks that Trump is the worst president in history, who will destroy our democracy if he returns to power. The Democratic Party has a deep bench with many potential candidates like California Governor Gavin Newsome who would have no problem defeating Trump. It is tragic that we are burdened with a senile candidate, as evidenced by his horrific debate performance, who will lose to Trump.

If Trump is Human Garbage, why is the Presidential Race a Dead Heat?

When the presumptive Republican presidential nominee is a thrice-married, twice impeached felon, failed insurrectionist, pathological liar, cognitively-challenged serial sexual assaulter of women, miscreant who has been convicted of rape and fraud in civil trials, sociopathic personality with delusions of being a dictator, you’d think the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee would be miles ahead in the polls even if he was a wilted head of cabbage.

Certainly Democrats, Independents and even Republicans should vote for Joe Biden, right?

But Donald Trump and Joe Biden are in a dead heat in the national polls, and Trump is ahead in most of the swing states.

Why? Dear God, why?

Donald Trump is not only the undisputed leader of the GOP, but he is also the messiah of the MAGA cult, and his disciples have an excuse or a conspiracy theory for all of his grievous faults.

Pathological Liar? Lies, what lies? Every utterance that emanates from their Orange Messiah’s sphincter-shaped mouth is an alternative fact accepted as the Gospel truth by his disciples.

Cognitively challenged? Whatcha talkin’ about Willis? Trump is a stable genius who has aced a couple of cognitive tests! He’s an eloquent speaker and if the publishing world wasn’t controlled by commies and lesbians, hundreds of his pearls of wisdom would be included in Barlett’s Familiar Quotations.

Felon? His sycophants think he was framed just like Jesus Christ! The Justice System was weaponized against their Dear Leader. Trump considers his felony convictions as badges of honor!

Failed Insurrectionist? The 2020 election was rigged, and the patriotic hero was just trying to stop the steal.

Sociopath? MAGA wingnuts think that the heartless billionaire feels their pain, they think he’s as empathetic as Jesus.

The MAGA cultists are convinced that Trump will win in a landslide, and that Trump will lose only if the election is once again rigged.
