Episode 415 – Rest in Peace, Norm

Surprise, surprise! Gavin Newsom looks like he’s going to survive the recall election. Last I checked it’s 67%-35%. I call BS. But, hey, it’s California.

Nicki Minaj has become a Conservative hero…this week.

And rest in peace to one of the great comedians of my generation.

 

RIP, California

It looks like California is a lost cause.

Gavin Newsom is going to retain his governorship by a landslide. Though the election has not been called and won’t be called for probably a month, Newsom won it 64-36. Reality is, some news outlets were calling it last night. How, when the polls close at 7 PM, they knew who won by 8 PM I don’t know. Well, I do know. They probably cheated.

Gavin Newsom would have none of that:

You know, nothing convinces people that an election is valid and fair than calling those who don’t believe an election was valid and fair like calling them immature children. I guess the ballot harvesting, mailed ballots, mail-in ballots, DMV registrations, people being marked as voted when they weren’t, mailed ballots being sent to people in other states and people receiving two or more ballots is just me being immature. I should just grow up and cut it out?

Well, I’m going to remain immature and say that this was a corrupt election. But, the problem I have, is that if this was only a corrupt election, I would have thought it would have been closer. Maybe 55%-45% or closer. The fact that this election was a landslide tells me that California is lost. Apparently, the people of California don’t care about:

  • The high taxes.
  • High cost of living.
  • Low standard of living.
  • Crime.
  • Homelessness.
  • Drug problems.
  • Dirty streets.
  • Housing crisis.
  • Our $1 trillion in debt.
  • Failing education system.
  • Falling population.
  • Businesses leaving.
  • Forestry incompetence.
  • Crumbling infrastructure.
  • Droughts (I do blame the California government for that).
  • Immigration crisis that is supported by our sanctuary status.
  • Continued lockdowns.
  • Continued masking mandates.
  • A Newsom’s continued hypocrisy.

People just don’t care. They’re happy that Newsom knows what pronouns to use. It’s time to write this state off. There’s no way it’s going to change anytime soon and will get far worse before it gets better.

Time to get out and go to a real state.

Could Be Treason

Bob Woodward, a writer for the Washington Post and writer of All the President’s Men which took down President Richard Nixon, and Robert Costa are releasing a book called Peril. It has some rather serious charges in it.

According to the book, Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, might have been staging a coupe against then President Donald Trump.

  • Milley worried about the mental abilities of Donald Trump as early as October 30th, before the election.
  • In a pair of secret phone calls, Gen. Mark A. Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, assured his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng of the People’s Liberation Army, that the United States would not strike.
  • One call took place on Oct. 30, 2020, four days before the election that unseated President Donald Trump, and the other on Jan. 8, 2021, two days after the Capitol siege carried out by his supporters in a quest to cancel the vote.
  • The first call was prompted by Milley’s review of intelligence suggesting the Chinese believed the United States was preparing to attack.
  • “General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be okay,” Milley told him. “We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you.”
  • Milley went so far as to pledge he would alert his counterpart in the event of a U.S. attack, stressing the rapport they’d established through a backchannel. “General Li, you and I have known each other for now five years. If we’re going to attack, I’m going to call you ahead of time. It’s not going to be a surprise.”
  • In the second call, placed to address Chinese fears about the events of Jan. 6, Li wasn’t as easily assuaged, even after Milley promised him, “We are 100 percent steady. Everything’s fine. But democracy can be sloppy sometimes.”

A few things about this.

  • We need to take this with a grain of salt. This is from a book and a couple of news articles.
  • If this is true, Milley was talking about this with others about it. There would be no way Woodward or Costa could have known about two “secret” phone conversations.
  • Whether true or not, this needs to be investigated:
    • Giving information to the enemy is treason or conspiracy.
    • He undermined a dually elected President. This was a coup attempt.
    • He did not have to give information to the Chinese. If he didn’t want to do something, he could have said no.
  • At best, I think Milley should resign. If any of this true, he should be thrown in prison.

I believe there is probably some truth about this. Milley is a Leftist and Woodward is liberal with no love for Donald Trump. When there is negative news against libs it does hold a little more water than stuff printed about Conservatives. That’s because negative things are always published against Conservatives.  So this needs to be investigated.

I also am intrigued by the response to this by the media. They are making Milley a hero here. Like he saved the United States from the tyranny and insanity of Donald Trump. They’re are actually pushing the narrative that Trump was going to start a war with China.

Yeah, the same President who was the only President since Jimmy Carter that didn’t start a war. So this needs to be investigated.

Battle of the Intellects

The Met Gala was on Saturday and there was one person that was conspicuously absent: rapper Nicki Minaj. The way she dresses, she would have fit right in. But she didn’t go. When asked about it on Twitter she gave the following answers.

 

Besides the rather descriptive antidote, there is really nothing weird here. The Met Gala wants her to be vaccinated. She’s not ready to get the vaccine because of side effects she’s heard of. She wants to do a little more research. Meanwhile, she’ll continue to wear a mask and make her decision later.

Joy Reid of MSNBC would have none of it and decided to light Nicki up for not following the narrative that all black people need to follow:

First things first, I want to point out that Joy Reid’s father was an engineer, her mother was a college professor and she went to Harvard.

Nicki Minaj’s father was a crack addict, her mother worked in payroll and Nicki worked at the Red Lobster.

I’m pretty sure Reid and Minaj did not walk on the same side of the road. So Reid calling Minaj “sista” seems a bit disingenuous. Seems that Minaj thought the same thing. She had a couple of things to say to Reid on Twitter:

 

Then, just to be sure that Reid got the point, Minaj tweeted:

RIP, Norm MacDonald

One of my favorite comedians died yesterday. Norm MacDonald had died of cancer. He had been struggling with it for nine years. He started his career on Saturday Night Live and was known for his skits on Weekend Update.

Throughout his career, his only concern was being funny. He was irreverent. He would make fun of current events even if he could offend people. When he was told to stop because his comedy was “too soon” he would just move on and make people laugh.

Here he is on the Daily Show, talking about the Crocodile Hunter’s death ten days after Steve Irwin died. It was completely inappropriate and extremely funny. Listen:

He didn’t care about what people thought and, when he faced cancel culture, he just waved them off and kept going. I think we know why he didn’t give a damn about cancel culture if he spent 9 years fighting cancer, getting yelled at by some basement dweller on Twitter doesn’t seem like a thing.

What is really something is he told no one. He just continued on, not looking for any attention, and kept making people laugh. He was selfless. For me, he’s the example of a hero.

You want to laugh, there are hours of his comedy routines on YouTube.

Rest in peace, Norm. You will be missed.
