DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: MICHAEL BLOOMBERG!

I hate billionaires. They are sucking the life from this planet and are stealing from us all blind. We already have one running for president that a lot of us are VERY wary of, now another may enter the race, this time with possibly disastrous consequences. The former mayor of NYC, Micheal Bloomberg, is talking about entering the race should it come down to a Trump versus Sanders race. This is telling for a number of reason that I will get into later and may demonstrate how screwed we really are. Let's see those runner ups in a crowded week.
 
10)Marvin Jacob Lee- This drunk asshole shot a good Samaritan who stopped to help him after getting stranded in the snow. The obviously intoxicated dick got mad when authorities got called and shot the man who stopped to help him several times. He claims to have no recollection of anything that night. People who do this kind of thing make society less civil and courteous, as it makes everyone even less trustful of each other and kindness dies a little more. This fuckwad should be castrated publicly and forced to eat them afterward. He's the worst of the worst. And then I found this next guy.

9)Joel Wright- This 23 year old seminary student from Ohio was arrested this week for trying to go to Mexico to have sex with an infant.YUCK! The fact he was studying to be a priest, and the fact that Googling "seminary student arrested for X" brings up dozens of cases like this over the last ten years, makes this all the more horrifying. Becoming a priest seems to attract a lot of people with devious sexual urges who wrongly believe celibacy is the only way to go. This dick is the worst. THE WORST!

8)Bundy Militia/FBI- Once again, we have a case that seems cut and dried until you look at it a little closer and realize the FBI may be lying to us again. Considering their track record with telling us the truth, cases like this make us question them even more. First off though is the Bundy militia, a group so brainless and apparently inbred, that they failed to understand the first rule of hostage taking is never leave the hostage. These dorks went out on a deserted road with the entire leadership inside with no protection or plan for what to do when the FBI swooped in, which they did. The guy who made the ridiculous dashboard cam was arrested separately after he went home to visit his kids. Hope he enjoyed it because chances are good he won't see them except behind glass the next time. Now all they have is people probably named "Skeeter," and "Cooter," left at the wildlife reserve, with barely a brain cell between them. The FBI on the other hand have the own problems. As body cams STILL are not on every single police office and agent yet, all we have from them is grainy helicopter footage that may or may not show the one militia guy killed going for his gun. The footage does seem to show that cops shot him first, and the motion that they said was him reaching for a gun, was actually him grabbing where he was shot. Pictures of the victim show his gun on the opposite side he was reaching for. Why grab a gun with your less dominant hand? The video is too far away to determine who is right. If only we had the technology to put cameras on people. If only.

7)B.O.B- This rapper may actually be dumber than the militia above. This week this total retard sent out a series of Tweets claiming he had "proof," the Earth was flat. Where to even begin. We have photos from space that show the Earth is round. We have had astronauts from all of the planet circle the Earth with footage to prove it. Back in the 90's, we have the NASA channel which you could watch the Earth spin in live action. This is dumbness to the nth degree and when assholes like this start spouting off provable nonsense, the world dims a little more. This is why we still have conspiracy theories like the Boston Bombing was a hoax, Sandy Hook was a lie, and Obama is a secret Muslim from Kenya. B.O.B also thinks we never landed on the moon even though anyone with a good enough telescope can see the lunar landing module with their own eyes. Can we please stop the stupid train because I and millions of others want off?

6)Ayatollah Khamenei and Iranian President Rouhani- Speaking of people who believe ridiculous nonsense, the Ayatoallah was recently quoted as saying the Holocaust was a hoax, meaning he is no better than some of the arm chair detectives who believe the same crap as a third rate rapper. The Holocaust happened and there is more than enough proof that it did regardless of what your weird cousin Stan thinks or what you read on the Internet. When Iranian President Rouhani visited France recently, France bent over backwards to cover naked statues when they toured the Louvre. But hilariously, the French drew the line in the sand when the Iranians refused to enter a luncheon unless wine was not served. That was too far and the French said "fine, then we don't eat." Do not fuck with a Frenchman and his wine apparently.

5)Germany, Sweden and Migrants- The country is starting to fall apart and not without reason. After Merkel and her cronies went out of their way to cover up constant attacks by foreigners, mostly refugees, and saying more are welcome, fed up people protested by the tens of thousands in front of the capital. Her hold on power has never been more tenuous. Sweden is about to deport 80,000 refugees back home as attacks on migrants escalates due to a rape culture that is anathema to Western practices. But as he we have this idiotic idea that tolerance is applied equally in all cultural norms, which is asinine, problems are arising fast and furious. This will not end well as the rise of fascism is rearing it's ugly head here and abroad and, if history is any indication, will end badly for us all.

4)Paul Allen- Yet another billionaire who feels the rules do not apply to him. Because of this douchebag's megayacht, 80% of the Cayman Island protected coral reef was destroyed. I have swam there on vacation and am glad I did because it no longer exists. Apparently, he dragged his massive anchor for miles, wrecking the area. His fine should be 90% of his income to fix what he destroyed, accident or not. I'll say it again: I HATE BILLIONAIRES!

3)Planned Parenthood Video Makers- This week, a Texas grand jury cleared Planned Parenthood of any wrong doing, the 12th state to do so. What this conclusively proves is that the Republican party's talking point about this was never real, a real blow to Carly Fiorina's cratering numbers. The truly funny part is that not only was Planned Parenthood cleared, the two idiots who made the video in the first place are the ones being arrested for fraud and trying to buy baby parts in the first place. That is hysterical. Hope they get real time for this damaging piece of propaganda.

2)Republicans- They have not had a good week as Donald Trump still masterfully controls the airwaves. I may not like the Donald for a lot of reasons, but I still like him a lot more than any of the other idiots running for president which somehow, someway would be worse. And this week, they showed it. Jebra Bush is dying on the vine (thank you SNL for that fitting insult) and is blowing through more money with less effect than anyone else. Sarah Palin showed her special brand of lunacy when she endorsed Donald, leading to a string of nonsensical word salad that was barely changed when Tina Fey impersonated her recently, just like 2008. Ted Cruz sent out water to families affected by the Flint, Michigan water crisis but only to supporters who were also anti-abortion, so I am guessing one case at most. Carly Fiorina hijacked a bus load of first graders during a field trip to the local botanical garden to attend a anti-abortion rally. Bet the parents loved that. Ben Carson has apparently fallen asleep and no one can wake him up as he has disappeared from sight especially during the debates. It's coming closer to reality that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee and he will lose. That is unless....

1)Michael Bloomberg- Because having one billionaire in the Presidential race is not enough, the former mayor of NYC is talking about a third party run. Polls suggest that he will draw heavily from democratic voters due to his idiotic no gun stance, a third rail topic, and finish with about ten to twelve percent of the vote. In every scenario, whether it be Bernie or Hillary, a Bloomberg run becomes another Ralph Nader and may give the GOP run of the White House in a close election. And what if Trump somehow loses? Could this give us President Cruz? I. Will. Vomit. Blood. Polls suggest strongly he has no chance of winning so why enter? Because either the powers that be want him to or his ego is too big to realize the damage he will do by entering. I know which one my money is on and it is the later as people are really, really stupid lately, no matter their stance in life.  The fact that he will not enter the race if Hillary gets the nod show how controlled our politics are. She represents the status quo, which the elites want. Trump and Sanders represent change for better or worse, which is why Trump is so appealing to so many, as is Sanders. Vote for Sanders in the Iowa primary tomorrow regardless of threats from this midget.  He is our last and best hope. So congratulations Michael Bloomberg, if you run or even if you don't, you are indeed douchebag of the week.

CONSPIRACY THEORIES GALORE HIT THE INTERNET. WHICH ONES AREN'T FAKE?

One of the final gasps of any society is the breakdown in trust that occurs when mankind's evil side overtakes his better judgement. Tell me that isn't happening after spending ninety seconds on the Internet. In just the past few days, several wildly inaccurate conspiracy theories and dubious science scenarios have been plastered everywhere. Whether it be rapper B.O.B., who said he had "proof" the world was flat, or Iran's Ayatollah calling the Holocaust a fake, to people who still think the president was born in Kenya and is a secret Muslim. When does respecting someone's belief system cross from needed tolerance to ridicule? The way it has to be is everyone is entitled to their own belief system but no one is allowed to force their nonsense on anyone who doesn't want it. And if your belief system allows prejudice, hatred or absolute backward thinking, the rest of us get to treat you with complete disdain. No one should be made fun of if they are religious. At the same time, believing the world is only 6000 years old is retarded and it has to stop.

This week, rapper B.O.B sent out a bunch of unfortunate texts which I can only hope is actually a brilliant hoax into seeing how gullible white people are. But the most likely explanation is B.O.B is borderline mentally challenged for actually thinking the world is flat. That is actually an insult to the mentally challenged as even they know the Earth is round, so I apologize in advance for that. He also thinks the moon landing was faked. Where to even begin with this utter fool? You can't see the curvature of the Earth because you aren't high enough but pictures from the Space Station show a curved Earth as well as centuries of history which proves this. He does know we can circumnavigate the globe right? The moon landing obviously happened because you can see the lunar module remnants with a powerful enough telescope today, not to mention moon rocks which is physical proof we went there. This is what the the truly stupid are infecting us with, provable nonsense that is making others out there dumber.

Then there is the Ayatollah who today said he thinks the Holocaust was fake, a common theme in conspiracy sites everywhere. They are poorly researched, anthropologically unsound, and have an obvious anti-Semitic reason for existence. The Holocaust happened. I have talked personally with numerous survivors of said tragedy and they all tell the same story, a sure fire sign of being true. Individual eyewitness testimony is worthless, but dozens telling the exact same story is another matter. The Germans kept meticulous records about everything including the death camps and their locations. Original blueprints to places like Auschwitz and Dachau exist online that can be seen today. The same can be said for the record books containing the names of most of the Jews who died in the ovens. The only part of the story that may be untrue is the number of deaths that may be over-inflated from six million down to 1.5 million, but either way that is way too many innocent Jews to have been killed. It happened. We know it happened. Stop convincing people that it didn't. Get a new hobby or something like The I Hate Jews club where at least you will be honest with yourself about your real purpose in life. It is "religious" leaders that this dick that is going to get us all killed.

The list goes on and on. Obama is gay/Muslim/Kenyan? Nope. The world is 6000 years old? Ugh. Vaccines cause autism? No proof. The Boston Bombing was a false flag and Tsarnaev is actually innocent? Not in a million years. Adam Lanza was a hoax and none of the children even existed in a school that wasn't open at the time? Beyond stupid. Yet each and every one of these lives on on the internet and beyond. And it is getting out of hand. People don't know what to believe anymore so when real news happens, it gets lost in the din of all this crap instead.

The big story was the death of a Bundy militia member in a "shootout" with police as they idiotically put all their leadership in one place, unprotected, on a desolate street out on the public eye away from the building they captured weeks ago. These guys are morons. Eyewitness testimony has suggested that the victim, once seen interviewed under a blue tarp on TV, was shot in the back and unarmed. Going for a Mike Brown defense, the FBI countered with their version which said he came at them guns blazing and they have the video proof for that. If true, this goes away quick and the Bundy militia finds themselves in real trouble. If the video does NOT exist, this will continue to be a conspiracy theory, just like Mike Brown's death has, regardless of the fact that proof says he was charging the officer at the time of his death. But people still say "hands up, don't shoot." The same will happen here unless the FBI does have conclusive proof that what they said happened did happen. Trust between the public and cops is gone. That is a telling problem.

Then there is the fact that the Iowa caucuses are being administrated by Microsoft, a huge Hillary Clinton supporter. This has not been lost on Bernie Sanders who said he will independently have the ballots counted as he doesn't trust the result not to be stolen. I have written about many cases in the past where ballot issues appear to have been intentionally done. Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004
have enough irregularities to suggest manipulation happened, both of which gave the presidency to Bush. His brother Jeb was governor of Florida at the time and Diebold, a huge Bush supporter, operated the voting machines in Ohio which may have been the reason exit polls were so far off. Three Cuyahoga election workers were arrested for tampering with ballots in 2004. Funny how that never made the news. Here is a list below from the Cuyahoga's own website that shows that in every county, more people voted than actually lived in town. Kerry lost by 13,000 votes in Ohio. This list says otherwise:

Bay Village - 13,710 registered voters / 18,663 ballots cast
Beachwood - 9,943 registered voters / 13,939 ballots cast
Bedford - 9,942 registered voters / 14,465 ballots cast
Bedford Heights - 8,142 registered voters / 13,512 ballots cast
Brooklyn - 8,016 registered voters / 12,303 ballots cast
Brooklyn Heights - 1,144 registered voters / 1,869 ballots cast
Chagrin Falls Village - 3,557 registered voters / 4,860 ballots cast
Cuyahoga Heights - 570 registered voters / 1,382 ballots cast
Fairview Park - 13,342 registered voters / 18,472 ballots cast
Highland Hills Village - 760 registered voters / 8,822 ballots cast
Independence - 5,735 registered voters / 6,226 ballots cast
Mayfield Village - 2,764 registered voters / 3,145 ballots cast
Middleburg Heights - 12,173 registered voters / 14,854 ballots cast
Moreland Hills Village - 2,990 registered voters / 4,616 ballots cast
North Olmstead - 25,794 registered voters / 25,887 ballots cast
Olmstead Falls - 6,538 registered voters / 7,328 ballots cast
Pepper Pike - 5,131 registered voters / 6,479 ballots cast
Rocky River - 16,600 registered voters / 20,070 ballots cast
Solon (WD6) - 2,292 registered voters / 4,300 ballots cast
South Euclid - 16,902 registered voters / 16,917 ballots cast
Strongsville (WD3) - 7,806 registered voters / 12,108 ballots cast
University Heights - 10,072 registered voters / 11,982 ballots cast
Valley View Village - 1,787 registered voters / 3,409 ballots cast
Warrensville Heights - 10,562 registered voters / 15,039 ballots cast
Woodmere Village - 558 registered voters / 8,854 ballots cast
Bedford (CSD) - 22,777 registered voters / 27,856 ballots cast
Independence (LSD) - 5,735 registered voters / 6,226 ballots cast
Orange (CSD) - 11,640 registered voters / 22,931 ballots cast
Warrensville (CSD) - 12,218 registered voters / 15,822 ballots cast

The county has said this was software glitch. Or is it possible these are the real numbers that we are not supposed to see? It would explain why exit polls were so far off in 2004. Exit polls, if done correctly, have been shown to be accurate within one percent. There was no reason to find fault with the study, so the only explanation is fraud. For this to have happened in multiple states has been estimated at 250 million to one for it be chance. You have a better chance of winning Lotto.

Lastly we have the Planned Parenthood videos that have now not only been proven totally fake, but charges have been leveled against the people who made them. In Texas. That is hysterical. How many on the right have been crowing about these videos for weeks now? No one has been nut shot as hard as Carly Fiorina got this week when all that hoopla about seeing the video turned out to be pure propaganda and explains why she is polling dead last right now. Abortion is a personal choice and no one else's issue. End of story.

Conspiracy theories continue to gain traction and the time has come to start making fun of people whose grasp on reality is moronic. Let's start with all the candidates running for President not named Bernie Sanders. Feel the Bern people because sanity is much needed in the White House.

THE BUNDY MILITIA, DONALD TRUMP AND OTHERS MAKING A STAND FOR BETTER OR WORSE!

People are showing signs that they have had it with the status quo. Hillary's numbers are starting to fall dramatically with black people whose support has eroded twenty percent over the last few weeks. If she loses them, she loses the primaries. This woman represents everything that will NOT present change. Sanders, and even Trump to a certain extent, represent saying to the world enough is enough.
 
Iowa is less than a week away and I cannot stress this fact people: YOU NEED TO GET OUT AND VOTE IN THE PRIMARIES FOR BERNIE SANDERS! I have watched some of the dumbest videos with shills trying to convince you democratic socialism doesn't work. The only problem with that is that it is completely untenable with reality as the best run countries on the planet are all democratic socialistic societies with booming economies, stability and populations happy with their way of life. Yeah, who wants that? The opposite fact is that the economic reality the US and some of Europe have been experimenting with have been dismal failures, leading to crashing economies as all the wealth is accumulating at the top, leading to our possible end. Hillary will change nothing more than a band aids worth, just like Obama did, that she keeps praising even though he is still captaining a sinking ship. We need something better or different because the path we are right now, led by corporatists on both sides of the aisle, will end badly for most of us.

Trump is winning the GOP side because of this. Republicans have wised up to the fact that the establishment has been lying to them for decades and only a non politician like Trump or a lunatic like Cruz can save them. Cruz is getting the votes from people who should never, ever vote because they must be borderline mentally challenged or epically stupid to support such a human troll. Trump, for all his faults (and he has lots), I get why people like him and why it is not so far fetched he may be our next president. I think if that happens, he will be more Hitler and FDR, but Hillary in the office doesn't give me the warm fuzzies either. A recent poll said 19% would rather pound sand than vote for her. Trump gets similiar numbers meaning if it comes down to these two, it could be a record low turnout. If Bloomberg idiotically gets into the race, some polls show he could win against either Hillary or Sanders. That is frightening if we have another Ralph Nader moment that gives four, maybe even eight, or President Trump. To be honest, I doubt the country would last that long with him in charge.

One of the smarter things he has done is skip the next debate. Much like Ronald Reagan did before Iowa in 1980, Trump will not be attending, most likely that is. That air of doubt is brilliant because it makes him the center of attention until Thursday and sucks the wind out of everyone else. If he doesn't show, will people watch? If he does show up, which I think is unlikely, all eyes are on him. He has no reason to show up as he has a comfortable lead and looks to be a lock for the nomination. The GOP is going to have a fit over this. If it does come down to Trump versus Hillary, She will raise more money from dark sources than anyone else as corporate America will shower her with dough to destroy Trump which is the most likely scenario. If comes down to Bernie versus Trump, which is completely up to you readers, Bernie may not need a lot of money if his surge continues which it will as his message is going to resonate with many, including Republicans likely to defect. But this is only one theory and who knows how it plays. Conspiracy theory thought suggests the vote will be rigged and we will somehow get Hillary versus Rubio. It is possible.

One of the more credible conspiracy theories out there is that the powers that rule us are poisoning the people through water, food, vaccines, etc. to thin out the population. The reason this is not so far fetched is that any scientist worth his name knows there are too many people on the planet. As mankind will never willingly give up having kids the eventual outcome is a massive disease wiping us out, starvation, and/or mass poverty. If the rich have decided they don't need us, which they don't, and will have access to possibly immortality within ten years due to incredible research I have seen involving stopping, even reversing the aging process, a lot of us are not only expendable but a threat. A clever way to decimate the population, especially poorer ones, is to make them drink foul water and substandard food, ones that may even begin to have chemicals that render a lot of us sterile. It is not so science fiction to believe that those who have stolen trillions from us don't have a plan how to keep that money forever and without a lot of us around.

Flint, Michigan is just such a place. Not only did they lie about the water quality for two years, knowing full well it was unsafe, they have done nothing to fix the problem since it was discovered. What if this was intentional? Local militia groups have shown up to give out water which is EXACTLY what these people should be doing instead of hijacking a remote government building in a vain attempt to recreate Waco, which our government yesterday was only too happy to oblige in.

Ammon Bundy and several others were arrested, one killed in a shootout with police, after they left the refuge area for a meeting in another town. At least the government waited this time until they were off property and grabbed them, unlike Waco where the same thing could have been done with far less bloodshed. The idiot who posted a dashboard cam was arrested in Arizona after going home to visit his family. The stupidity of this group is breathtaking. They do know once they left the property, they were eventually going to be arrested right? When you take a hostage, even if it's a building, you don't get a time out.

Expect the remaining idiots up there to give up soon. When did this country forget how to protest because it crosses all races, sexes and ages. Maybe the water is making us stupid because there is no other explanation for all of this. Let's hope Iowa proves me wrong.

DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: RICK SNYDER!

Two weeks in a row for top spot as the beleaguered governor of Michigan continues to dig his own grave and expose the utter hypocrisy, and even racism, of the modern day political system. Mind you most of the blame goes to the deregulation pushing of the Republican party mentality but the EPA and Democratic run cities like Detroit aren't much better. Let's see those runner ups as I have a Patriots game to watch.

10)Madonna- This woman has not had a good few past months. Last month she got into an unwise court battle with her 15 year old son over visitation rights. Not the ex-husband, her son! You can only guess how that turned out after a judge ruled he had to return from England and he said bite me. Then she took it out on her fans by showing up late for recent concerts in the south, one of which fans said she was visibly drunk at. And she wasn't ten or fifteen minutes late but two and half hours. If I had kids at home, which most of her fans do, I'd be pissed and I would expect more than some left before it even started. Maybe it's time for the material girl to pack it up and go home. For whatever sexist reason, as bad as it is watching someone like Mick Jagger parade around stage, it's worse for older women. I recently saw Debbie Harry perform, and while her voice still sounded amazing, watching a woman old enough to be my grandmother belt our rock hits seemed wrong and disturbing. After a certain age for any performer, male or female, it's time to quit. Madonna, this may be your clue.

9)13 Hours- There was a time I really liked Michael Bay movies. Bad Boys and Armageddon, while not masterpieces by any means, had a certain charm to them and the directing in them was solid. Since those days, he has gone on to direct disaster porn/toy merchandising crap like Transformers and not funny drek like Pain and Gain. His latest 13 Hours may be his worst yet. Not anti-Hillary enough for the right wing loon crowd and too political for the left, this film tanked so hard Fox kept trying to sell it all week on their "news" network. If there was ever a movie I would not want to see it's anything about BENGHAZI. The words "WAY too soon" and "Don't care" come to mind for this nonsense.

8)Ta-Nehisi Coates-  Some black people finally did what so many groups do and over-reached to such a point that sane black people rebelled. After the Oscar debacle (more on that later), it has become apparent that too many black people are unwisely supporting Hillary Clinton, including this noted author and idiot who seems incapable of understanding the ramification of his actions. First off, any black man saying he wants repartitions for slavery, as this dick has, has to first live as a slave for up to one year to fully appreciate the sacrifice his ancestors made for him to live in one of the greatest countries in the world. If you never lives as a slave, you get nothing. Your reward is you don't live in Africa which is mostly a cesspool. You are free to leave whenever you want. But even worse, when this ass brought up the subject to Bernie Sanders, he rightfully dismissed it as never going to happen, unless you want to see how bad race relations are going to get. He, like most Millennials, had a hissy fit over it, causing rapper, and my new hero, Killer Mike, to tell him to shut the fuck up and get with the program that Sanders is the best man for the black community and he is not wrong. Black people better wake up that fact or expect no change in the status quo, or even worse, of they vote for Hillary.

7)Snowstorm Jonas- The weather dumped an inch of ice two days before a monster storm in the DC area, snarling traffic for hours. Then a blizzard hit dumping over two feet of snow, and way more up here in MA as we went from a coating to half a foot, crippling the region. NYC saw record snowfall as did the Philadelphia area. And just like clockwork, all the global warming deniers came out of the woodwork screaming about how it's fraud and forgetting that it is winter. Morons.

6)Des Moines Register- This week the Iowa paper picked Hillary and Rubio as their respective picks for president. If they tried, they couldn't have picked more establishment candidates. If I was in the area, I would have cancelled my subscription because this proves they either have no idea what they are doing or are corporatism shills. Either way, this paper should be used to wrap fish and train puppies because it certainly isn't readable anymore.

5)Anjali Ramkissoon- Another person caught in video assaulting an Uber driver while drunk, this one was slightly different as the perp was young, wicked hot and, this I can't believe this, a doctor. The video went viral when she tried to steal someone else's ride, and then she went ballastic and attacked the driver and threw all his stuff from the car into the street. She was fired from her job after this as who wants to go see a doctor who is either a loon or an alcoholic. What is wrong with people today?

4)Debbie Wasserman Schultz- This corrupt bitch is getting it from all sides, with serious deliberation to her stepping down. Considering what a piss poor job she has done so far, that should be a no brainer. It may not make any difference because she is facing her first ever primary opponent, a local democrat who has had with her. I don't know hos popular she still is in her area, but here's hoping she gets thrown out on her ear, Cantor style. It came out recently she is accepting huge amounts of money from Big Pharma to keep weed illegal, a big policy of hers. Hmm, I wonder why. Someone take thus cow out of office and keep her out. She is every bit as bad as any Republican out there.

3)Sarah Palin- Your son gets arrested for beating his girlfriend and you claim he has PTSD and Obama did it. Classy. Unfortunately, facts matter and it turns out everything you said is a lie. He served under Bush not Obama, who also started said war back in 2003, served only a year and never saw combat. I actually know some people who served in the same area at the same time and guess what? None of them have PTSD. As a matter of fact, unlike today's clusterfuck where soldiers are exposed to daily bombing threats, things back then where a lot more peaceful. The longer we stayed, the more resentment built, thus the reason to get the hell out of there. But idiots like Palin can't see that. Then she gave a nonsensical speech supporting Trump which was spectacularly parodied on SNL last night. If you haven't seen it, Google it. It's hysterical. She isn't.

2)Oscar racism- Talk about opening a can of worms. Black people threw a fit over not getting any nominations and started talking boycott and other nonsense. Well, like every other company out there, the Academy bowed down to public pressure and is set to make changes in the rules that will make no one happy, mostly because they won't work. Black people are a minority group and to suggest equal footing made white people lose their minds because affirmative action for the Oscars is going to fail. Adding extra spaces to Best Actor or Best Picture is just going to guarantee that even lesser known white people are going to be nominated. Getting rid of lifetime membership will decimate older voters voting rights, and oddly enough, complainers like Jada Pinkett Smith, who would also lose her status due to lack of nominated roles. If you really want to change the Oscars you have to have more people working behind the scenes, have a theater cutoff number such as 500 screen minimums, and convince black film makes to stop making just films about black people. Mexican directors don't make just films about Mexicans and look how many Oscars they are winning. This is making white people mental and not without cause as being called a racist when you certainly aren't, is racist. Let that one sink in.

1)Rick Snyder- This ass has tried to make it seem like he had no idea that black people were being poisoned in Flint Michigan all week. The blame game caused a local leader and an EPA guy to lose their jobs but this goes much higher than that and Snyder's recently released emails haven't helped. They demonstrate that he did know, didn't care and should be brought up on charges for negligent homicide. The fact this went on for two years as his administration did everything they could to deny the water was unsafe is unbelievable. This is why deregulation and smaller government is a terrible idea as it will lead to this happening everywhere. Even worse, it already has. According to some researchers, vast swaths of land have terrible water, contaminated with heavy metals and other problems. Obama gets his share of the blame for this for lowering water standard allowing for this kind of garbage in our drinkable water. Republicans however are leading the charge in making us very unsafe everywhere. Almost everywhere in the North East that isn't MA has terrible water, especially almost all of NY and PA, some of which may be because of fracking. The point is a lot of us are drinking water that is harmful to us. We riot over the fact that black people are being shut out of the Oscars, but black people being poisoned in Flint doesn't? We need to wake up to what is important and demand that this ass running Michigan into the ground is arrested for murder. So congratulations Rick Snyder you are indeed the murdering douchebag of the week. 

UNMITTIGATED STUPIDITY AND THE RETURN OF SARAH PALIN!

If there was ever a reason to question conservatives, no one need look any further than the black hole of intelligence that is Sarah Palin. Much to the obvious detriment of Donald Trump, Sarah Palin threw her support behind the front runner and then proceeded to give a twenty minute speech that was kind of in English, totally non-nonsensical, and a complete laugh riot. Let's take a look at some of the highlights shall we?
 
 “Thank you so much. It’s so great to be here in Iowa. We’re here just thawing out. Todd and I and a couple of our friends here from Alaska, lending our support for the next president of our great United States of America, Donald J. Trump."

Translation: We just got back from bailing out my douchebag son and babysitting my whore daughter's second bastard kid (possibly third) but here we are.

"Mr Trump, you’re right, look back there in the press box. Heads are spinning, media heads are spinning. This is going to be so much fun" 

Translation: Liberal media bad.

My head is spinning, even if I am not part of the "liberal media" which really doesn't exist anymore than free market economics does. She is right about one thing though. This IS going to be fun.

“Are you ready to make America great again? We all have a part in this. We all have a responsibility. Looking around at all of you, you hardworking Iowa families. You farm families, and teachers, and teamsters, and cops, and cooks. You rockin’ rollers. And holy rollers! All of you who work so hard. You full-time moms. You with the hands that rock the cradle. You all make the world go round, and now our cause is one."

Translation: Can I hear a hallelujah? I can name several job positions. Go me.

Nope, not over the retching sound that is American intellect. This is called pandering and she is terrible at it.

"When asked why I would jump into a primary – kind of stirring it up a little bit maybe – and choose one over some friends who are running and I’ve endorsed a couple others in their races before they decided to run for president, I was told left and right, ‘you are going to get so clobbered in the press. You are just going to get beat up, and chewed up, and spit out.’ You know, I’m thinking, ‘and?’ You know, like you guys haven’t tried to do that every day since that night in ’08, when I was on stage nominated for VP, and I got to say, ‘yeah, I’ll go, send me, you betcha. I’ll serve."

Translation:I am willing to stick my head in a bear trap again because I have no long term memory.

Apparently her associates are smarter than her as she did get beat up in the press for saying things untrue, garbled or both. You couldn't watch a newscast or daily comedy program that didn't hype this up to the T. And, as her support is mostly Tea Party idiots, which is NOT the Trump demographic (angry, uneducated white people who have a disdain for any politics until recently), her support here hurts more than helps, as several interviewed people at the rally were asked, many who looked as if they would fit right in with the militia groups who took over the wildlife preserve, said they hated her.

"And if you love your freedom, thank a vet. Thank a vet, and know that the United States military deserves a commander-in-chief that loves our country passionately, and will never apologize for this country. A new commander-in-chief who will never leave our men behind."

Translation: I have no recollection of any President previous to Obama which means he was responsible for every bad decision in the history of the country. 

More nonsense about Obama's nonexistent "apology tour," that only occurred on right wing fantasy land. And apparently, leave no man behind does not apply to people like Bergdahl, which the right screamed bloody murder about (although I did agree with them on this and that dick should have been left to rot), but you can't yell about no man left behind, except when it suits you.

"I’m in it, because just last week, we’re watching our sailors suffer and be humiliated on a world stage at the hands of Iranian captors in violation of international law, because a weak-kneed, capitulator-in-chief has decided America will lead from behind. And he, who would negotiate deals, kind of with the skills of a community organizer maybe organizing a neighborhood tea, well, he decided that, ‘No, America would apologize as part of the deal,’ as the enemy sends a message to the rest of the world that they capture and we kowtow, and we apologize, and then, we bend over and say, ‘Thank you, enemy."

Translation: We should never apologize for anything even if we are wrong and diplomacy is for pussies.

Depending on which way the wind blows, our president is either a lead from behind weakling or a dangerous tyrant bent on destroying the Constitution. Republicans have shown a intense desire to end the Earth with dangerous talk of nuking Iran back to the Stone Age for the most minor infraction, which is the worst trait for any potential president to have. Unfortunately, all of the GOP is in this boat, slamming Obama for daring to try diplomacy first. According to them, he's a loser for not destroying the planet.

"So troops, hang in there, because help’s on the way because he, better than anyone, isn’t he known for being able to command, fire!"

Translation: Trump is a member of the X-Men. His name is Firestarter and he is capable of burning down large parts of the country, maybe even the world.

Apparently, she thinks Trump is some sort of superhero capable of controlling fire I guess. Or, more likely, her English sucks.

"Well, and then, funny, ha ha, not funny, but now, what they’re doing is wailing, ‘well, Trump and his, uh, uh, uh, Trumpeters, they’re not conservative enough. Tell me, is this conservative? GOP majorities handing over a blank check to fund Obamacare and Planned Parenthood and illegal immigration that competes for your jobs, and turning safety nets into hammocks, and all these new Democrat voters that are going to be coming on over border as we keep the borders open, and bequeathing our children millions in new debt, and refusing to fight back for our solvency, and our sovereignty, even though that’s why we elected them and sent them as a majority to DC. No! If they’re not willing to do that, then how are they to tell us that we’re not conservative enough in order to be able to make these changes in America that we know need to be…Now they’re concerned about this ideological purity? Give me a break! Who are they to say that?"

Translation: ?

This is technically English but not really. I guess the painkillers, Xanax and eight martinis are really starting to kick in because these sentences are just sad. I think she is going after people who say Trump isn't conservative enough and they would be right. He's not as conservative as you think. There is an interview with him decades ago where he said if he ever ran for president he would do so on the Republican side because "those people are really stupid and easily led."If, God forbid, he ever got into office, his policies wouldn't even by near Ronald Regan let alone Ted Cruz.

 "How ’bout the rest of us? Right wingin’, bitter clingin’, proud clingers of our guns, our God, and our religions, and our constitution" 
 
Translation: Guns, God and Gravy.

Bitter is right and saying God and guns is all you care about explains why places like Flint Michigan have no clean drinking water. If you live there, praying is best before you even wash your hands in that toxic sludge. And stop talking about the Constitution like it is a perfect document. It isn't and it is time for some of it to change. Just not any of the changes these dipshits want to enact.

"Well, then, we’re talking about our very existence, so no, we’re not going to chill. In fact it’s time to drill, baby, drill down, and hold these folks accountable."

Translation: We need cheaper oil because I want to drink it.

Nevermind the fact that oil is cheaper than milk, let's drill for more crap we don't need. And who is it you want held accountable? Perhaps Obama for sending your kid to Iraq, where he came down with PTSD and is now beating his girlfriend, for which he was arrested this week? Oh that's right, it was Obama's predecessor, Bush who not only started this war but whom Track Palin served under. So how is Obama responsible for something after your son already came home after one tour?

"Where they’re fightin’ each other and yellin’ ‘Allah Akbar’ calling jihad on each other’s heads for ever and ever. Like I’ve said before, let them duke it out and let Allah sort it out."

Translation: The Middle East is near New England right?

This is the GOP philosophy in a nutshell. Nuance they don't have. Nevermind the fact that because we have no desire to get off of oil, as well as a right wing push to demonize all green energy, a Middle East war would decimate our economy. Real smart.

“So it can be an unbeatable team with fighters there in the House and the Senate. Yeah, our leader is a little bit different. He’s a multi-billionaire. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But, it’s amazing, he is not elitist at all. Oh, I just hope you guys get to know him more and more as a person, and a family man. What he’s been able to accomplish, with his um, it’s kind of this quiet generosity. Yeah, maybe his largess kind of, I don’t know, some would say gets in the way of that quiet generosity, and, uh, his compassion, but if you know him as a person and you’ll get to know him more and more, you’ll have even more respect. Not just for his record of success, and the good intentions for America, but who he is as a person. He’s not an elitist. And yes, as a multi-billionaire, we still root him on, because he roots us on."

Translation: Conservative billionaires good. Liberal billionaires bad.

Here's where she really start to go off the rails. How do you say a multi-billionaire is just like the average guy in one breath and then call someone like George Soros the devil for the exact same thing? Billionaires are elitist. That is the very definition of what they are. ALL billionaires are suspect in this notion and to pick and choose which ones you like and which you don't is just hypocritical.

"And he has, he’s spent his life with the workin’ man. And he tells us Joe six packs, he said, “You know, I’ve worked very, very hard. And I’ve succeeded. Hugely I’ve succeeded,” he says. And he says, “I want you to succeed too.” And that is refreshing, because he, as he builds things, he builds big things, things that touch the sky, big infrastructure that puts other people to work. He has spent his life looking up and respecting the hard-hats and the steel-toed boots and the work ethic that you all have within you"

Translation: Trump is just like you, except he isn't.

The only working people Trump knows are his servants and anyone who screws up a building project. Otherwise, they would be invisible to him. Trump is not building his own buildings. Illegal labor is.

“Now, finally friends, I want you to try to picture this, it’s a nice thing to picture. Exactly one year from tomorrow, former President Barack Obama. He packs up the teleprompters and the selfie-sticks, and the Greek columns, and all that hopey, changey stuff and he heads on back to Chicago, where I’m sure he can find some community there to organize again. There, he can finally look up, President Obama will be able to look up, and there, over his head, he’ll be able to see that shining, towering, Trump tower. Yes, Barack, he built that, and that says a lot. Iowa, you say a lot, being here tonight, supporting the right man who will allow you to make America great again. God bless you! God bless the United States of America and our next president of the United States, Donald J. Trump!"

Translation: Please vote this man into office so Jesus can finally return and the Apocalypse will begin.

If Trump gets into office, or any Republican for that matter, the world will end in a smouldering heap as none of these idiots are fit to be in there. I may hate Hillary, and would expect her economic policies to ultimately doom us all, there is no way she gets us in a nuclear war for stupid reasons. Cruz or Trump might do that the first day in office.

All in all, her support may do more harm than good down the road. It may convince some in Iowa to vote Trump. It may make others look at another candidate or stay home completely.

A CONTRAST IN CANDIDATES WITH THE REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC DEBATES! WHO LOST AND WHO WON!

These past few days saw both the Republican and Democratic debates happen with wildly different results. One was a joke with terrible candidates, the worst moderators yet, but on a night when some might have been paying attention, while the other saw a front runner sink herself before a national audience playing to a televised audience of no one. For the latter they might as well as have put it on Christmas Eve at 3 in the morning for all the attention it was going to get. How bad were these two debates? I didn't even watch either because one was just sad and the other was on after an NFL playoff game (Fuck you very much Pittsburgh for blowing the game in the final minutes) on a holiday weekend. A test pattern would get more viewers.

So let's start with the idiot parade known as the GOP debate. Moderated by Neil Cavuto and some bimbo too stupid to know better, they asked the most inane questions and had zero follow up no matter how dumb the response was. Here's a hypothetical example:

CAVUTO: Senator Cruz, how much do you hate Obama?

CRUZ: With the heat of a thousand suns. That Muslim, Kenyan bastard has been a disaster to this country and is leading the fight to kill every first born in this country.

CAVUTO: Good answer.

That was the sum of the entire debate. No matter how stupid someone said something, and there were some doozies, the moderators failed to even attempt a clarification, making anyone who watched that debate dumber than when they started. How is that good for anyone?

Cruz is a boob. Trump is a fool. And the rest of the numnuts are barley able to breath on their own without someone reminding them too. Can someone please tell Carly Fiorina it's all over and no one likes her? Or that Ben Carson has a less chance of winning than me? Why stay in when there is zero chance of winning?

From what I read of the aftermath, Trump and Cruz did the best and everyone else should just pack it up. Bush is sinking hard, Cristie and Kasich are coming off more blowhardish than Trump, as if that was possible, and establishment characters like Rubio are barley hanging on. This is a bad year for establishment politicians.

Just ask Hillary how this week turned out. Her numbers are dwindling faster than 2008 when Obama lapped her. Now Bernie is looking to do the same. Her idiot daughter, the epitome of white, rich privilege, lied about Sanders health care plan so badly that even Republicans came to his defense. He wisely snubbed that in the butt by releasing his plan how to pay for it, by raising taxes a little on the poor, some on the middle class, and a lot the richer you got. I love it, mainly because it would actually work. It would drive down prices, make health care affordable somewhere between 40 and 80 dollars a month, which compared to my 500 a month sounds much better, and eliminate deductibles and co-pays. Only an idiot would look at this and scream SOCIALISM at it. It blunted Hillary's attack this week on how it would be paid for because he spelled it out and 170 economists wrote that they supported it as well. According to them, it would save this country trillions in lost health care spending.

Even the most ardent Hillary supporter saw that she lost this debate hands down. Other than going after Bernie on guns, none of which adds up to a hill on beans, she was on the defensive on every other subject. She couldn't defend herself as a protector against banks when she has taken in millions from them. The same for Big Pharma, Big Agro, and every other major company out there which is backing her. Meanwhile, Bernie has taken zero dollars from anyone not a little person and raised almost as much money as her. That is telling.

Unlike the GOP debate, moderator Lester Holt actually did a good job asking effective questions with even better follow up ones. Too bad no one was watching who didn't have to.

The point of this is that the GOP is going to nominate one of two morons and, on the other side, thankfully, Hillary's star is starting to tarnish. I can only pray that people get out to vote in the primaries and help make Bernie Sanders the nominee because if I see it comes down to a Trump/Clinton contest, a may have to figure a way off the planet because it won't be here much longer.

DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: TED CRUZ!

What a week the despicable senator from Texas had. First, he got caught up in a birther scandal that was nothing short of hilarious, then he got caught in a lie about how he funded his campaign that could be a serious charge of campaign fraud, not that I have any idea what the punishment for that is, but will most likely involve a tepid slap on the wrist. Voters however may have a different view of someone lying and hiding involvement with major banks. Let's see those runner ups in this shortened week.

10)Fantastic Four- Well deserved of the Razzies it got this week, this epic misfire will be topping my worst of list later this year, possibly even the top spot. It reeked of studio involvement who demanded Kate Mara be cast, action scenes be cut and the final run time be less than an hour and forty minutes. The director didn't help by acting like a spoiled brat on set, a more common occurrence than you would think as anyone who watched this past year's Project Greenlight saw first hand. Josh Trank was so bad that his involvement with an upcoming Star Wars picture was pulled and his career may be in jeopardy as these kind of antics are not wanted anymore. The John Huston's of this world are an extinct bunch. The plot sucked, it was epically dull, the cast was awful and yet again, they screwed up the mythology of Dr. Doom in one grand swoop. How hard is it to make him a megalomaniacal bastard who wants to dominate the world, not destroy it? Miss this at all costs.

9)Death- Can someone get this dick a latte and tell him to stop killing our best actors and musicians please? In the past week, we lost Lemmy from Motorhead, David Bowie, Angus Scrimm (the Tall Man from Phantasm) and now Alan Rickman. Yet Justin Bieber, Pauly Shore and Chris O'Donnell still walk the Earth unharmed. Why, God why? Take someone more deserving next time please. Chris Brown is just sitting there for God's sake!

8)Chandler Jones- Can someone explain to me why, if you have tons of money as this defensive end for the Patriots does, do you decide that regular pot is too passe and synthetic weed is the way to go instead? Real weed causes hospitalization never, unless they are a crying baby who can't handle it and freak out like the losers they are, while synthetic pot might as well as have a warning label saying a visit to the hospital is inevitable. What an idiot. It's not like there isn't a championship game this weekend or anything. And the NFL does drug test moron. Expect him to be cut next season.

7)Justin Bieber- Yet another notch in the douchebag column for the troubled pop star who cannot get out of his own way. In what can only be described as moronic, douchebag decided that climbing on the ancient ruins of Tulum, Mexico was a great idea until someone saw him and kicked him out. I've been to the ruins before and there are plenty of places to climb around that are not off limits. This ass decided the ropes keeping you out were not meant for him and decided to jungle jimmy his way around like the retarded monkey he is. Can his fifteen minutes be up already? Is death that busy that he can't make a special trip to his house?

6)State of CT- I left the state some years back in a huff after John Rowland's administration blackmailed my fledgling movie company for four million dollars. We didn't have anything close to that so our movie studio idea died, which instead went to another dick who ponied up the four, got 12 back in taxpayer money and then proceeded to do absolutely nothing after that. This happens all over the country all the time. Add to that the highest taxes in the country and I was done. Now, they have decided to raise taxes on GE, which has made them say adios as well and are also moving to MA now. Corporate taxes have to be raised at a federal level or else this is exactly what happens. Government have given corporations all the power and they wield it well. But CT's loss is MA's gain. Fuck CT.

5)Chelsea Clinton- I have never liked this woman. The very definition of white privilege, this horse faced debutante has gone to the best schools, gotten jobs no average person would ever get, and is now bitch slapping Bernie with a slew of lies so awful even the press is telling her to shut up. This was the bitch that became a reporter for NBC for half a million dollars a year, which she sucked at and barely did anything for. One year, she did three puff pieces for which she got half a million dollars. I would like that job please. Now she is spreading lies about Sanders health plan that no one believes. Hillary must be desperate.

4)Hillary Clinton- Other than Ted Cruz, no one had a worse week in politics. As her numbers tumble and Bernie soars, she has been acting like the bitter cunt we all knew she was. She has slammed Bernie in gun laws and his health care plan, even though she endorsed the latter whole heartedly previously in writing. She is way behind in NH and slightly behind in Iowa. Nationally, some polls even have Bernie ahead now, albeit by a small margin, but still. I hate Hillary who, if elected, will continue the status quo and lead us further into a fascist police state. Vote Bernie Sanders who is the only real candidate running.

3)Sean Penn- Nevermind his meeting with El Chapo, the real disgrace was Rolling Stone publishing his 10,000 word article that was so pretentious and nauseating you would have thought it was coming from Skank Magazine and not the heavily disgraced Rolling Stone. You guys have had a really bad year and this doesn't help. In the article he goes into great detail about farting and pissing with his dick in his hand without a whiff of irony or ability. Stick to acting Sean and leave writing to the professionals.

2)The Supreme Court- The Court is going to have lots of big cases this year and some will not go as the public would want. One of the biggest since Citizen's United appears to be the court is ready to strike down unions, meaning wages are going to plummet along with safety standards for all of us because Republican douchebags have convinced the less stable of society that unions are bad. Unions can be bad, especially police unions, but they also got us things like weekends off, 40 hour work weeks and better pay. With unions gone, we will be back in the late 19th century all over again.

1)Ted Cruz- What. A. Dick. I hope he gets the nomination because there is no way in hell this guy doesn't lose in a tremendous fashion. The birther scandal is heating up as several constitutional scholars say he is ineligible to be president, and thus senator as well. It all boils down to what "natural born" means as our Founding Fathers were excessively vague. Some say all you need are American parents but others say you have to be born on American soil to be natural born. You're still an American citizen but not natural born. The funny part about this is, unlike Obama who WAS born in Hawaii, there is a real case to be made here. Then, to compound issues, Ted Cruz got caught in a blatant lie about how he funded his Senatorial campaign. According to Cruz, he liquefied all his assets and used that money to run for Texas senator. That was a lie. What he did do was got a great loan through Goldman Sachs, as his wife works there, and another from Citibank I believe. Now while he faces no real punishment for this as election rules are arcane at best, the public and his opponents will have a field day with this. In this scenario, Cruz is beholden to a big bank that most Republicans do not like or trust. The fact he lied about where the money came from will undoubtedly be used in attack ads against him. Trump is almost certain to start blasting the airwaves about it and it could hurt Cruz's numbers, coupled with the birther problems. So congratulations Ted Cruz you are indeed douchebag of the week.

TED CRUZ DISCOVERS BIRTHERISM IS BACK AND THIS TIME IT'S NOT DIRECTED AT OBAMA BUT HIM! OH THE IRONY!

January is well known for reshaping voter blocs as more and more of the politically illiterate public start to actually start paying attention. Contrary to what every pundit has said, Trump still continues to dominate and the inevitability of Hillary Clinton doesn't seem so inevitable any more. Look back and see how everyone discounted Trump and Sanders, now looking like they have egg all over their faces. Sanders is ahead in all polls in NH, some polls in Iowa and even a few national ones. That is simply amazing. Even more stunning is the fact that he easily beats all Republican candidates in hypothetical polls while Hillary only eeks out a few close wins, and even loses to some candidates like Carson and Bush. That does not fill me with confidence and some of the electorate may be feeling the same.

But the guy getting all the heat right now is Ted Cruz, currently in second, followed by Carson, Rubio and a suddenly surging Bush. Don't count him out yet. If Bush does get the nominee and he is against Sanders, expect a Republican whooping the likes of which hasn't been seen in years. Sanders gets cross party appeal, while Bush only gets hard core conservatives, as well as total morons to vote for him. That would be a landslide. The other way is to elect Ted Cruz as their nominee, but that is running into some foreseen obstacles.

The Republican party is well known for doing something underhanded and dirty only to have it boomerang right back at them. Dennis Hastert found that out first hand when laws he passed helped got him arrested for an old, gay sex crime. Now it is birtherism that is back, and unlike Obama, this one has some actual issues with it. I get the feeling that every time Obama feels down these days, he reads an article about Cruz defending his credentials to run and failing. I am sure this gives him the warm fuzzies and big smile.

The issue is two fold. First, if he was born in Canada does that make him eligible? On this, legal scholars are actually not sure. Mary Brigid McManamon, of Widner University in Delaware says he isn't. Here is what she had to say about it.

"The Constitution provides that “No person except a natural born Citizen . . . shall be eligible to the Office of President.” The concept of “natural born” comes from common law, and it is that law the Supreme Court has said we must turn to for the concept’s definition. On this subject, common law is clear and unambiguous. The 18th-century English jurist William Blackstone, the preeminent authority on it, declared natural-born citizens are “such as are born within the dominions of the crown of England,” while aliens are “such as are born out of it.” The key to this division is the assumption of allegiance to one’s country of birth. The Americans who drafted the Constitution adopted this principle for the United States. James Madison, known as the “father of the Constitution,” stated, “It is an established maxim that birth is a criterion of allegiance. . . . [And] place is the most certain criterion; it is what applies in the United States.”
 
This makes Cruz a US citizen but not a natural born one, which would make him ineligible. Should he somehow win the nomination, there is a legal possibility that this may wind up in court, most likely headed by Donald Trump. Wouldn't that be hysterical?

There is also the problem with the fact that his parents may have renounced their American citizenship while in Canada and during the time of Cruz's birth, making him not an American citizen at all at that point, but Canadian. Investigative reporters have uncovered a voter roll from his parents area which appears to show them on it. As only Canadian citizens can vote, their names being on it is troublesome. Now it could be a mistake, it could also mean his mother had both American and Canadian citizenship. The truth of the matter is that ultimately just another headache for the awful presidential candidate.

It won't make much difference either way because there is no way he wins the nomination in the first place. But I will laugh as he continues to get pummeled by birtherism that people like him started.

DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: RICK SNYDER

If there was ever a more obvious example of why I loathe Republicans it has to be this ass who is governor of Michigan. Because of typical GOP nonsense and their insane desire for NO regulation and giving all the money to rich people, hundreds of thousands of people have been exposed to lead  in the water of Flint, MI, all because some douche wanted to save money on the backs of public health. The fact that he hasn't been charged with a crime says lots about this country. Let's see those runner ups.

10)Chipotle- The fast food Mexican restaurant is now being investigated for criminal actions over a norovirus outbreak in California. Exactly why there is an investigation is unknown at this time, but the fact remains that it is abundantly clear the food at this establishment is highly unsafe. Sales have dropped 30% as well as dropping stock options. The big question here is why is it not 100%? What moron is still eating there? The same can be said for Taco Bell which serves people mock food. They can barely call their product meat. Yet America is too stupid to realize when they are being poisoned and continue to eat at places that all but tell you to get ready for a long trip on the toilet.

9)TSA- This week, video surfaced of the TSA groping a ten year, white girl for almost two minutes because she had a juice box in her carry-on. Even worse, TSA told the father who was filming the whole thing to stop as it was "illegal," which according to TSA's own website, it isn't, as long as you are not interfering or filming video screens, which he wasn't. Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see this girl and her family were no threat. This is was supposed to be stop yet here it is front and center. This kind of crap makes no one safe and further devalues our civil liberties.

8)Brian Encina- The dick cop caught on dash cam abusing Sandra Bland has been fired and is facing criminal charges for perjury. Good. Now mind you, Sandra Bland was a fool for mouthing off to him in the first place, which is NEVER a good idea no matter what the cop is pulling you over for, but that should never end in a death sentence. Encina escalated things at every chance he had, the typical cop with a chip on his shoulder mentality, which led to all of this. Then, even worse, he lied about how it all went down, somehow unaware his car has a camera on it. I hope he goes to prison.

7)China and the economy- What a crap week for stocks, for which China was only part of the problem. China's economy is WAY overvalued and have been playing fast and loose with their policies for some time. But sooner or later, it all comes crashing down, and it finally did this week. However, even when China rallied on Friday, US stocks continued to slide for the worst opening week in American history, losing over a thousand points this week. Christmas was so bad, a lot of major retailers are closing stores and laying workers, like Macy's who are losing hundreds of stores and thousand of jobs. The fact that for the first time ever, there are none, not ONE, cargo ship traveling between Europe and the US right now says loads. No one is buying anything anymore and this is why our economy is sinking. You can't have a consumer economy when 99% of the public is no longer consuming. Expect this to get worse.

6)The Bengals- Way to lose a playoff guys. They had the game in the bag when they fumbled on the Steelers' 26 with around a minute and half left. Then, thanks to not one, but two personal fouls, this let the Steelers win with a field goal in the final seconds. Ouch. What was more shocking was a Steeler coach was on the field at one point during their rally, yet was not flagged for that, which he should have. The refs this year have been the worst ever. Better luck next year for the Bengals.

5)Tonya Couch- The mom of the despicable Allfluenza fugitive got a big dose of reality when she complained about the conditions at the jail she was being held in. She better get used to it, because she is facing three to ten for obstruction of justice. This is not a smart woman. She fled to Mexico and didn't think she would be caught pronto, not even getting rid of their cell phones which anyone who has watched any TV or movie ever, knows the authorities can track them anywhere on Earth. Next time pick a country with no extradition treaty dumbass.

4)Paul LePage- The governor of Maine is a racist ass and most likely has little chance of re-election. Sadly, even the most racist statements won't get you in too much trouble with the GOP electorate which says loads about them. This week, he said black people with names like D-Money and Shorty are driving up from CT and NY, dealing drugs and going home, but not before knocking up young white girls. He actually said that. There was little notice of this from the press as Trump says stuff like this on a daily basis and he is still the front runner. Stop voting Republican people. Democrats may suck, but they aren't trying to kill us all.

3)North Korea- Just when you thought the world couldn't get even less safe, the midget from a failing state tested another nuclear weapon, this time claiming it was a miniaturized hydrogen bomb. If true, it means they are that much closer to ICBM's. However, no one seems to think they actually accomplished this feat due to atmospheric testing. Either way, Kim Jung Un is a dangerous fool at a time when countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey are all being ruled by loons as well. This cannot end well.

2)Germany- Just missing out on the top spot, Germany saw a slew of sexual assaults on New Year's Eve, almost all committed by Muslims. Twenty people were arrested, but some like the mayor of one town said women should keep men at arms length to prevent rape, as if that works. Worse, Germany says they are going to take another million, of ten million expected refugees coming next year, which will make things worse. Germany still hasn't recovered from Turkish migrants who arrived 50 years ago and still do not speak German or have assimilated in any way. What do millions coming bring then? This will propel more hatred toward Muslims, a far right government and eventual attacks from both sides. Good luck with this.

1)Rick Snyder- In a stupid attempt to save money, Flint, Michigan was allowed to stop getting their water from Detroit and use local water sources instead. What they didn't seem to understand was that years of NO regulations had poisoned the local water and attempts to clean it up before people drank it actually stripped lead from aging infrastructure and led to high levels of it in the water. Then, the government tried to cover all that up and told people the water was safe when it certainly wasn't. Thanks to some scientists who didn't believe it, they tested the water and found out it was undrinkable, leading to hard proof. All of this was Rick Synder's fault and typical GOP crap about regulations stifling innovation when in reality those regulations keep us from dying young. But rich people do not care about that, as profits matter more, thus thousands of children that will have serious issues for the rest of their life because of this. Snyder should go to jail for this but most likely won't because the press and the government is with them and the American people are too stupid to know better and keep voting for assholes like this. So congratulation Rick Snyder you are indeed douchebag of the week.

ECONOMIC SELL OFF CONTINUES AND THE SAD PART IS THAT CHINA IS ONLY PART OF THE PROBLEM!

I read more nonsense in the papers or watch on the news every day and it's making me mental. For the umpteenth time in the last few months some idiot newspaper or newshead keeps telling me the revival of the Glass Steagall Act wouldn't have stopped firms like Bear Sterns and Lehman Brothers from collapsing, which is so far from wrong I don't even know where to begin. It's like arguing that the sky is orange. These companies collapsed because they acted as both investment banks and private banking, not to mention credit default swaps and bad real estate deals which they used like a shell game to get around falling profits, or the exact definition of what Glass Steagall was passed to prevent in the first place. And who exactly are these top economists that these news sources keep referencing, anonymously of course, who keep saying this crap because either they don't exist or they are REALLY bad at their job? This is the state of economics in today's world: reality does not exist for these people and will continue to say the sky is orange even when we can all see it isn't.

Today's bloodbath continues, and I would like to point out that if you go back just a few short articles ago, I predicted this would happen today when China's big sell off was set to return with a vengeance. As of 3:15 EST, the Dow is down roughly 375 points. If it goes below 16,000 at any point soon, that may indicate a time to sell everything you have as panic selling is going to commence soon after. As I also said some months ago, this was going to be a volatile time as everything we have done wrong these past few decades is coming back to haunt us. Trickle down economics does NOT work. Yet we keep trying it. Austerity does NOT work, but again that is all we hear from Republicans and Europe, and evidence shows it is a losing proposition. If anyone can name a place where this economic theory works let me know because I sure haven't seen it.

Christmas was awful this year because we are being worked harder and harder for less and less money. Retail plummeted so bad companies like Macy's are closing hundreds of stores and laying off thousands. And that is just one of many. I know people with Masters and PHD's that are no so much having a tough time finding work, as finding work that actually pays anything. My friend with a PHD in chemical engineering is finding lots of jobs. Unfortunately, most of them pay one third what he used to make and demand things like insanely long hours and crappy benefits. I don't blame him for not wanting to work for $30,000 a year. And that is the new norm where salaries are decreasing at an astronomical pace. People who get laid off rarely find work that pays anything close to what they had and are either forced to accept crap pay or stay out of work for a long time. Not one person I know who has lost their job over the last five years has found a better one. Not one no matter the field. We are getting screwed over and both parties are to blame.

Because we did nothing to fix the last mess, we are fucked now. You can blame Obama. You can certainly blame the Republicans. Mostly you can blame the American public too stupid to know when they are being lies to and are only too happy to stare blankly at their Iphones until their brains leak out their ears. The world is coming down around us and no one seem to care.

Most of the world is in a recession and some places like Venezuela, Greece and Spain, are all in severe Depressions. That horror may be coming here soon as a lot of people are starting to see the writing on the wall and are beginning to panic. Everything we saw before 2008 is coming back again, only worse. Commodities are dropping as no one is building or buying single family homes anymore, gold and other precious metals are being manipulated to keep their worth down and the Dry Baltic Index hit record lows again this week.

Things like employing people with a livable wage and debt forgiveness for the individual would have been a good start, but we did none of that. Iceland did and their economy is thriving. We, on the other hand, followed Europe in giving money to lots of banks and rich people who proceeded to do absolutely nothing with. Nine trillion dollars went missing in that theft of wealth and you can bet money it went into rich people's pockets. We are being stolen from on a scale unheard of human history and the world is too fractured and moronic to care.

Time may be up soon, which could throw the next election out the window and then get ready to say hello President Trump. God help us all.
