The Presidential Impeachment inquiry is heating up. Apparently there is a second whistleblower. President Trump might be making a huge mistake in Syria. Rashida Tlaib continues to be an idiot showing her racism and her lack of knowledge of the law. AoC gets trolled at her town hall.
And I am never going to get to the Joker movie. But I’m going to see it so I’ll wait till then.
The Impeachment Drum Keeps Plodding On
So, today, a second whistleblower complaint has been released. This time, this guy has first hand knowledge of the conversation between Trump and the President of Ukraine. Oooooo (I say in a menacing tone). I don’t care if there are twenty whistleblower complaints, Trump released the complaint and the transcripts of the conversation. Secretary of State Pompeo was on the call and said there was no quid pro quo. The President of Ukraine said there was no quid pro quo. The ambassador to Ukraine said there was not quid pro quo.
Guess what? I’m not interested in this story and it’s falling apart. Apparently, this guy not only had no direct knowledge but he also approached an Adam Schiff minion. He also is from the CIA (probably John Brennan fan) and is a registered democrat. He is represented by Mark Zaid, a whisteblower protection attorney and is representing the second whistleblower, does not have his political affiliation public but he is a commentator for CNN and MSNBC so go figure.
President Trump is being President Trump. He is trolling the media by declaring that China should investigate Hunter Biden during and impromptu press conference. The media is flipping out that he is asking for favors from China. But that’s not the big thing. President Trump sent a letter to Nancy “Chmpers” Pelosi stating that he would not turn over anymore documentation unless she holds a vote on the impeachment inquiry. Needless to say, Chompers doesn’t want to do this because a vote of yes on an unpopular impeachment inquiry could expose vulnerable democrats in red districts. In other words, she may not have the votes. The democrats keep saying that this is unprecedented but they’re lying. There have been two impeachment inquiries (one in the 1860s which was a very different time): Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton. Both inquiries were voted on. Nancy Pelosi decided to unilaterally declare an impeachment inquiry. So there is precedent.
Good for Trump there.
Bad Trump
President Trump has decided to pull U.S. troops out of Northern Syria. Not good. Obama did the same thing in Iraq and along came ISIS. This is a bad call. And he’s going to have a fight from both democrats and republicans. Even Lindsey Graham cautiously warned that this was a bad idea.
Why is it a bad idea? We were in northern Syria to protect the Kurds. The Kurds are a liberal sect of Islam that rejects the extremest Islam beliefs or even conservative Islam. They have bands of female fighters in their military. And they win fights! They are the only group that has been able to beat down Al Quiada, ISIS and the Syrian military. They are feared. But it is a very small group. They will be overwhelmed and eliminated. Turkey has been wanting to invade northern Syria since the Syrian civil war started. They hate the Kurds. The didn’t because of the United States presence.
We will lose our foothold in the Middle East. Right now, Russia and Iran on are the side of the evil Syrian government. Iran is also financing Al Queda. Iran is the Joker of the Middle East; trying to create chaos. The United States does not need to keep ten thousand troops in Syria. Only enough, even less than five hundred, to influence things. We have a pretty powerful military. Other countries fear us.
We weaken allies such as Israel and Saudi Arabia. If Iran is fighting in Syria, they ain’t looking at Israel or Saudi Arabia. War is expensive and Iran is struggling because of the U.S. sanctions. We need to not make it easy for them. They hate the Kurds too.
Trump is an isolationist. He doesn’t want troops abroad. I get that. But it is necessary sometimes. I have a feeling he threw that out there. I have a feeling Benjamin Netanyahu and other republicans like Lindsey Graham will teach him a thing or two. Let’s just see what happens.

Guys, It’s Just A Comic Book
Joker is coming out. And it looks awesome. Joaquin Phoenix looks creepy, scary and awesome! He’s probably the best actor of our generation. Watch the trailer.
The movie Joker is being released this weekend and there has been a lot of controversy. The movie is a prequel covering the rise of the Joker from the Batman series. The movie is suppose to be very violent which makes it stand out from the other comic book movies. But this is not unheard of. The Dark Night trilogy, also involving Batman and the Joker, were also violent, disturbing and very dark. But this movie was different because the film led the viewers to have empathy for the Joker. The viewer is suppose to feel sorry for him. He was bullied, socially awkward and rejected by the institutions that he wanted to be embraced by.
The fear of this movie is that
The director of Joker, Todd Phillips, said that the woke scolds are destroying movies. If you don’t know who Todd Phillips is, he’s my hero. He was directly involved in irreverent comedies such as Old School and the Hangover series. He said about the controversy:
“Go try to be funny nowadays with this woke culture. There were articles written about why comedies don’t work anymore — I’ll tell you why, because all the f—ing funny guys are like, ‘F— this s—, because I don’t want to offend you. It’s hard to argue with 30 million people on Twitter. You just can’t do it, right? So you just go, ‘I’m out.’ I’m out, and you know what? With all my comedies – I think that what comedies in general all have in common – is they’re irreverent.”
Things I thought about:
The attack on art in the name of political correctness.
The reason art is here in the first place. It makes us think. This is the problem of the woke scolds: They don’t want a conversation.
Entertainment is getting really bad.
I will be seeing this movie.
