Monday's Marvelous Absurdities: Gen. Milley Decides China Is The Enemy. Go Figure.
Hey, y’all, General Mark Milley apparently turned on the Pentagon break room’s 1988 19” Zenith TV over the weekend:
Gosh, I wonder what tipped him off?
No doubt he’ll testify to congress soon that the Pentagon’s response to the growing Chinese threat will be more comprehensive training in Critical Race Theory and more relaxation of military physical standards so they can recruit more fatties into the ranks.
That’ll show ‘em.
Meanwhile, the corrupt news media is once again cranking up the absolutely bizarre talk about Liz Cheney running for the presidency in 2024. Sensible, actual journalist Josh Kraushaar is having none of it:
Here’s an excerpt from that story by the Democrat activists at AP:
Dean Finnerty, a rancher from Wheatland competing in the steer wrestling competition, was not moved.
“I tell you what: I voted for Cheney when she ran last time and I won’t vote for her ever again,” Finnerty said. “I don’t know if she’s representing the conservative Americans that voted her in.”
Cheney’s unrelenting criticism of Trump from a Capitol Hill committee room represents the centerpiece of an unconventional campaign strategy that may well lead to her political demise, at least in the short term. Many Cheney allies are prepared for — if not resigned to — a loss in Wyoming’s Aug. 16 Republican primary against Trump-backed challenger Harriet Hageman.
But as primary day approaches, there is also a pervasive belief among Cheney’s team that her unorthodox strategy in 2022 may put her in a stronger position for the 2024 presidential contest. Cheney’s fierce anti-Trump message as vice chairman of the congressional committee investigating the insurrection has strengthened her national brand while expanding a national network of donors and Trump critics in both parties who could boost a prospective White House run.

This is quite frankly some of the most braindead political writing I’ve ever seen, and I have read a lot of columns written by E.J. Dionne, David French and Bill Kristol, so that is saying something.
The thought that big money people in both the Republican and Democrat realm are going to pour the hundreds of millions of dollars required to mount a presidential run into a campaign featuring this life-long skunk of a human being is absolutely ludicrous. Outside of the moron fake Republicans at the Bullwark and National Review, who would even think of voting for this human gasbag? Certainly not a single Democrat, because she wouldn’t have a D next to her name.
There are going to be a dozen real Republicans and possibly more than that many real Democrats running for the presidency come 2024. The thought that millions of voters are going to vote for this pathological liar who is not really loyal to either party is just mind-numbingly stupid.
What all this idiotic media boosting of Cheney is, of course, is just an effort to try to prop up her low personal standing in the public’s mind as her Soviet-style Jan. 6 committee gets ready to wind down and produce a report. Once that has been done, we will never hear about Liz Cheney again in a political sense, other than in sporadic reports about her activities as a high-powered DC lobbyist for the governments of China, Ukraine and other nations led by corruptocrats.
That’s the truth.
Let’s move on…
Hey, worried about all those corrupt media reports claiming that the generic ballot polling is now moving in the Democrats’ direction? Well, looky here:
Note also that that list does not include the most current results from the two most accurate pollsters of the last 2 election cycles. The most current Rasmussen survey pegs the GOP advantage now at +10, while the Trafalgar Group poll has the GOP 8 points up over the Dems.
To the extent votes are counted accurately and legally on November 3, there is an enormous Red Wave coming to our shores. It is up to the GOP to ensure that accurate and legal vote counts take place.
I realize that does not inspire a great deal of confidence, but it is what it is.
Man, those ESG investing strategies over at BlackRock sure are a boon to investors, right?
ummmm…not really…
Go woke, go broke, ESG edition.
Ted Cruz made this promise at the Turning Point Action conference over the weekend:
Holy smokes, that’s an awfully big job for one man, Senator. You sure you want to take it on?
Finally, if you’re thinking about vacationing in Germany, you might want to take a moment to reconsider:
Why subject yourself and the kids to that smelly mess?
That is all.
Liz Cheney is done! She’s made a complete fool of herself with the Jan 6 non-committee. She’s shown herself to be as dishonest & manipulative as any sorry Dimocrat & she did it on TV! Way to go harridan.
Liz can replace Joy Behar on "The View".
