THIS ONE IS PROBABLY A JOKE, BUT HONESTLY, WE WOULDN’T EVEN BET:  Trump Truths: Fortune.

HISTORY HASN’T ENDED, BUT THE LEFT CONTINUES TRYING TO ERASE IT. OR AT LEAST EDIT IT:  The End of History.

I USED TO GO INSANE WITH CLEANING WHEN WE LIVED IN CHEAP, STUDENT-LIKE APARTMENTS AND HAD JUST MOVED IN.  IN THE LAST ONE BEFORE WE BOUGHT A HOUSE, I SCRUBBED EVERY SURFACE WITH AMMONIA, BOILING WATER AND BLEACH SUCCESSIVELY:  How can people live that way?

… I too might be insane.

#FAKENEWS: CNN Finds a Way to Blame Trump for the Fake USS McCain Story.

Do you see how it works? The whole Trump/McCain brouhaha isn’t the point. Trump, by default, is guilty of any bad thing the left tries to accuse him of because he “empowers” people to do bad things. “The fact is that Trump provides cover for this sort of garbage by the way in which he conducts himself and his office,” wrote Cillizza. “He might not have sent the email about the USS John McCain himself. But without his past attacks on McCain, that email never gets sent.” Pardon me while I look for past articles written by Cillizza where he argued that Barack Obama’s smearing of police officers as racist empowered those responsible for the huge spike in cop killings during his presidency.

Think of him as a Democratic Party operative with a byline and you won’t go far wrong.

RIP: Leon Redbone, acclaimed singer and guitarist, dies.

Redbone’s actual age was not known since he never directly answered questions about the subject; the family’s statement said he “crossed the delta for that beautiful shore at the age of 127.” However, according to The Associated Press, he was 69, with the performer’s publicist saying he was born in Cyprus on Aug. 26, 1949.

“It is with heavy hearts we announce that early this morning, May 30th 2019, Leon Redbone crossed the delta for that beautiful shore at the age of 127. He departed our world with his guitar, his trusty companion Rover, and a simple tip of his hat,” the statement read.

Continuing in the lighthearted tone, the statement added: “He’s interested to see what Blind Blake, Emmett and Jelly Roll have been up to in his absence, and has plans for a rousing sing-along number with Sári Barabás. An eternity of pouring through texts in the Library of Ashurbanipal will be a welcome repose, perhaps followed by a shot or two of whiskey with Lee Morse, and some long-overdue discussions with his favorite Uncle, Suppiluliuma I of the Hittites.

As Iowahawk tweets, “RIP to a wonderful anachronism.”

OPEN THREAD: Enjoy life.

COMMENT: “The thing that makes Trump ‘seem’ so spectacular is that he has balls in an environment that has been nutless for decades.”

Plus: “Trump is known as a builder, but if there’s anything really Trump likes to do, it’s breaking things. Trump broke Kathy Griffin. He broke her really badly. He broke Michael Moore. He reduced Hillary Clinton to a bitter old drunk. He broke both Michael Avenatti and Stormy Daniels. He broke Rosie O’Donnell. He broke his former aide Omarosa. He’s in the process of breaking the anti-Trump propaganda network CNN completely. Everyone who goes up against Trump loses. It’s uncanny how some celebrity or athlete goes off on an anti-Trump rant and then fails professionally in some fashion, sometimes in unrelated ways. Just look at this schadenfreudelicious list. And now I hear that there are supposedly a whole bunch of anti-Trump movie scripts that have lately been floating around Hollywood. It reminds me of the height of the Iraq war when Hollywood released a bunch of anti-Iraq war movies. They were abysmal failures at the box office. They must’ve thought that most Americans were against the Iraq War. But at that time, most Americans supported the war. What a bubble they must live in. They must think that most Americans hate Trump. But that’s the way to get more Trump. And they’re going to get more Trump. Good and hard.”
