In case you hadn’t notices, today’s Friday the 13th, the last of two so-called “unlucky” days to take place in 2024.
Some claim the number 13 is unlucky because the 13th Apostle of Jesus – Judas – turned his teacher over to the Romans for eventual crucifiction, while Friday the 13th is especially unlucky as Cain allegedly killed his brother Able on that day.
Regardless, for those who suffer from triskaidekaphobia (fear of 13), friggatriskaidekaphobia (fear of Friday the 13th), or are simply superstitious (fear of crossing a black cat’s path, walking under ladders, and a slew of other actions considered unlucky), this is your day to grab a four-leaf clover, rabbit’s foot (which is unlucky for the rabbit), or other good luck talismans and keep them close for the day.
Which makes today the perfect day to deliver 13 hand-crafted Memeories: If you’re lucky you’ll laugh, and if not, perhaps you may be suffering from FriggatriskaidekaMEMEaphobia (the fear of memes on Friday the 13th).
Good luck!
Bernie Sanders might be unlucky but at least he’s not broke. After Democrats raised and spent over $2.1 BILLION dollars in their failed bid to defeat Trump the 2024 Kamala Harris Presidential Campaign announced they were still $20 Million in debt. Now, $20 Million is a drop in the bucket compared to $2.1 BILLION (it’s less than 1%), but it’s all the water in the bucket when you’re the one who has to pay it back. Now THAT’S “Bad Luck”!
“Mr. Smith goes to Washington“, meet “Mr. Smith leaving Washington“
Anyone else find it odd that when Trump placed tariffs on China they were bad, when Biden continued Trump’s tariffs on China they were helpful, and now that Trump’s proposed tariffs on China they’re bad again? Must be another example of “The Hypocrisy of the Liberal”.
I didn’t create this cute cartoon, and the original version is funny all by itself. I simply decided it might need another, more Woke, caption.
Personally, I don’t consider my self ‘old’ – although in reality I might be – but I’m old enough to agree with this Meme. Which by my estimate makes me older than roughly twelve.
Recently the Democrats revealed their new Congressional Leadership Team, where out of 10 people four are women and NONE are people of color: They’re all Caucasian. Poor Bernie Sanders! He’s male, White, and a Progressive Democrat, and still he wasn’t picked. How unlucky is that?
Every Christmas there are always some children who don’t get what they want, get something they don’t want, or get nothing at all. That’s unfortunate, especially for those who don’t receive anything at all, but not as unfortunate as what many illegal aliens fear they’re going to get for “Little Christmas”: The gift of deportation. Of course, it will be a gift to all those Americans who are living here legally and abiding by the law.
Did you know? “Little Christmas” is another name for the Feast of the Epiphany, the 12th day after the birth of Jesus, when the Three Kings arrived at the manger to pay their respects. When I was a child it was also the day to bring down the Christmas Tree, but not before opening one last gift which remained there for 12 days. As a child anxious to see what Santa brought it sure was a test of patience!
Frankly, I have no problem with President Joe Biden granting an Executive Order of Clemency to his son, Hunter Biden, who plead guilty to tax evasion and to illegally possessing a firearm (making Hunter a convicted felon). And, it doesn’t matter to me that it was the first time in US history that a president pardoned his own son. Joe simply wanted to protect his family.
But what bothers me is that rather than pardon his son for his specific convictions, or for any potentially criminal acts documented by Hunter’s infamous MacBook Pro laptop, Joe gave Hunter complete immunity for any any Federal crimes Hunter committed or may have committed “from January 1, 2014 through December 1, 2024.” That 10-year period covers the first documented case of Hunter Biden allegedly peddling his dad’s influence, back in April, 2014, and all related activities since then (here’s the timeline).
Joe simply wanted to protect his family…. his ENTIRE family, including him.
Speaking of Hunter Biden, it’s a good thing this photo found on his infamous laptop was taken before December 1 , 2024: Thanks to his dad’s pardon Hunter can’t be charged with illegally smoking crack cocaine, or if he was charged & convicted he’s been pardoned. Why, that’s not unlucky at all, I wonder why it made my list?
One nice thing about the Law of Unintended Consequences is it can sometimes work to your advantage. Or in this case of the mostly peaceful J6 Protesters, to the advantage of thousands. Joe’s historic pardon of his son provides plenty of justification for President Trump to pardon any J6 Protester, or all of them. And, that would also be historic. Thanks, Joe!
Pardon me for giving one more Memeory on pardons. If Joe Biden wanted to protect everyone who allegedly used their position and government resources to practice so-called “Lawfare” against Trump then pardoning this cast of characters might be a good start. But, if they didn’t do anything wrong, why pardon them?
Pardon me? After what Donald J. Trump was alleged to have done in the dressing room of an upscale Manhattan Department store back sometime in 1996 – and, found guilty of doing despite no exact date of the event, no eyewitnesses, no security cameras, no police report, no DNA evidence, and no evidence of s•xual assault – I’m sure this Memeory is pure fiction. But, the look that DOCTOR Jill Biden is giving Trump while inside Notre Dame Cathedral? That’s very real.
Finally, what better way to stave off bad luck than to find a Lucky Penny?
