The Taliban Fights Global Warming!

Posted on August 29, 2021 by museman

Recently, news outlets like CBS News,  Newsweek, and even Fox News reported the Taliban – a Sunni Islamist nationalist and pro-Pashtun movement which has provided safe haven for al-Qa‘ida and conducted numerous insurgency attacks in Afghanistan – have promised to combat Climate Change.

Yep. Not Women’s Rights, Health Care, the Economy, Education, Poverty, Energy, Sanitation, Internet Access, Unemployment, or Illegal Drugs….but rather, “Climate Change“.

And I asked myself “Myself, what concrete steps might the Taliban take to actually fight Climate Change?” Perhaps stuff like this?

It’s a Breitbart Headline!

Posted on August 28, 2021 by museman

What Breitbart headlined today:

“Three Days Left: U.S. Embassy’s Website Alert Page Down, Gives ‘404 Error’ to Stranded Americans” - by Wendell HusebØ, 28 Aug 2021 (click to read more)

Sorry, Wendell: Here’s the actual web page from the  U.S. State Department’s Embassy in Afghanistan, which is still accessible on 28th August 2021:

Who Should Come to the Hamid Karzai International Airport?

Once again, is seems Breitbart – the website who would probably ban their founder Andrew Breitbart if he were alive today for his unfiltered but true comments – has once again reached for the sensational headline.

Biden Builds Belligerence Back Better

Posted on August 27, 2021 by museman

As America’s questionably-elected President Joe Biden* has been giving a lot away during his (currently) 219 days as Leader of the Free World, Commander-in-Chief, and Connoisseur of Ice Cream.

He’s given the border to illegal aliens, America’s energy independence to the Middle East, an oil and gas pipeline to Russia, free college to the disabled, more pay to Federal Contractors, 27% more money to 42 million Food Stamp recipients…and, perhaps, soon to give the island of Taiwan to China.

All this, and much more, during just the first 218 days of his 1,460 day (p)Residency.

And now, by surrendering Afghanistan to the Taliban and abandoning Americans there to their fate, Biden* has given the Taliban a veritable bonanza of military equipment, as Tim Naples recently detailed on Twitter[1]:

Joke of the Day: The CNN Reporter Bars Trump

Posted on August 26, 2021 by museman

A classic joke from 2019, for your amusement:

A CNN reporter walks into a neighborhood tavern and is about to order a drink when he sees a guy at the end of the bar wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat. Obviously, the guy was a Donald Trump supporter.

The CNN guy shouts over to the bartender, loudly enough that everyone in the bar could hear, “Drinks for everyone here, bartender, except for that Trump supporter.”

After the drinks were handed out the Trump guy gives the CNN guy a big smile, waves at him and says in an equally loud voice, “THANK YOU!”

This infuriates the CNN reporter, so he once again loudly orders drinks for everyone except the guy wearing the Trump hat. And again this doesn’t seem to bother the Trump guy. He just continues to smile and again yells, “THANK YOU!”

So the CNN guy buys a third round for everyone except the Trump guy, and again the Trump guy just smiles and yells back, “THANK YOU!”

The now aggravated CNN reporter asks the bartender, “What’s the matter with that Trump supporter? I’ve ordered three rounds of drinks for everyone in the bar but him and all’s he does is smile and thank me. Is he nuts?”

Click the word “Details” below to see the punchline:

“Nope,” replies the bartender. “He’s the owner.”

Biden: How Do I Fail Thee? Let Me Count the Ways!

Posted on August 19, 2021 by museman

(with apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning and her Sonnet 43)

How do I fail thee? Let me count the ways.
I fail thee to the depth and breadth and height of all the oil wells
My Executive Orders can reach, when failing out of sight
For the ends of being and lack of grace.
I fail thee to the level of every American’s
Most important needs, by sun and candle-light.
I fail thee freely, while I silence the Right.
I fail thee purely, while you turn from praise.
I fail thee with the passion I occasionally used
During my entire failed career, and since my very childhood.
I fail thee with a intelligence I seemed to lose
With every passing day. I fail thee with the breath,
Confusion, tears, of all my life; and, when God chooses,
I shall fail to fail thee only after death.

Thanks for Reading!

Quotes of the Day: Biden*s Policy Appears “Foreign”.

Posted on August 17, 2021 by museman

“No foreign policy can be sustained in the United States of America without the informed consent of the American people. And informed means just that, successes and failure, a realistic assessment of where we are and what the president plans to do about it.”
- Senator Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., 03/20/2006, speaking on the Third Anniversary of the Iraq Invasion

“It’s hard to believe this has to be said, but unlike [President Donald J. Trump], I’ll do my job and take responsibility. I won’t blame others. And, I’ll never forget that the job isn’t about me — it’s about you.”
- Presidential Candidate Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., 06/04/2020, on Twitter

“Every action we take in our conduct abroad, we must take with American working families in mind.”
- President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., 02/05/2021

“Let’s just be smart this time. I’m looking for smart.”
- Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., exact date unknown

“I’m clearly not as smart as [President Donald J.] Trump, the smartest man in the world”
- Vice President Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., September 13th, 2018

Not “as smart” as former President Trump, Joe? That’s probably the smartest thing you’ve said during your entire Presidency.
