Friday's Absurdity Parade: Boondoggles, Drag Queens and 3rd World Depravity - Your Democrat Party Today
I hope you like this new format for the daily absurdities, because I’m planning to keep doing it. Let’s get this parade started.
Here’s the front page of the UK’s Daily Mail today:
Thanks, California! Your constant displays of 3rd-world lunacy and depravity never fail to tarnish the reputation of our entire country.
Please, secede. You’d be doing all the rest of us an enormous favor.
Speaking of California, remember that 2008 $40 billion plan to build a high-speed rail line connecting Los Angeles to San Francisco? Yeah, they’ve barely gotten started on it 14 years later, and the price tag is now… wait for it …$105 billion and rising.
Fair warning: This is what literally every infrastructure project related to Biden’s and AOC’s “Green New Deal” is going to turn into.
We had a wonderful poster child for this kind of boondoggle in Texas in the first decade of this century, called the CREZ lines.
The CREZ (Competitive Renewable Energy Zone) lines are an array of gigantic, 120-ft tall power lines designed to transmit electricity generated for a few hours a day by all the wind power projects out in West Texas hundreds of miles to market centers in Dallas, Houston and the Austin/San Antonio area. Like the thousands of windmills themselves, these CREZ lines occupy enormous swaths of land and now destroy viewsheds across 40% of the state.
For Democrats, here’s the beauty part: When the Texas legislature approved the plan back in 2005, the wind industry assured everyone that the total price tag would be $1 billion. By the time the project was built out, the cost had risen to… wait for it …$7 billion.
Trust me on this: That is what this kind of Green New Deal boondoggle will turn into all over the country. The $300 billion in “green” energy slush funds contained in last year’s $1.2 trillion “infrastructure” bill will end up sporting an ultimate price tag of $2-$3 trillion by the time it’s all over.
But hey, the Sock Puppet president wanted another $600 billion in the same kind of waste in his Build Back Better bill. Because no amount of money is ever enough for these people.
Speaking of the quasi-president, his handlers made the mistake of allowing him to speak without a TelePrompter again this week, and madness predictably ensued:
They’re different countries, Joe. No, really, they are.
*sigh*
Ok, which one of you did this?
Papa Fidel would be so proud.
Back to America’s own clown, he actually read this from his TelePrompter on Thursday:
Hey, if anybody knows the devil on a personal basis, it’s Joe Biden.
Speaking of evil human beings, here is our Deputy Secretary of State rattling sabers:
Gosh, it’s just so hard to imagine why Vladimir Putin is concerned about having U.S. and NATO personnel and nuclear weapons in his backyard. Inexplicable, really.
Oh, hey, but Wendy Sherman is actually one of Biden’s better appointments. Check out who he just hired to occupy a high office in the Department of Energy:
That’s right, the Sock Puppet and Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm just hired a mentally-ill person who brags about having sex with animals to a highly-paid position at DOE.
That’s the state of the Democrat party today.
As is their habit, the comic geniuses at the Babylon Bee capture the hapless, floundering CDC perfectly:
Remember: It’s only funny because you know it could be true.
You just could never make any of this stuff up, folks. Have a great weekend.
That is all.
Look forward to these! 😂
Enjoying this new format. Thank you.
