Kathy Griffin the best! Leaves Phoenix in stitches



My wife and I attended Kathy Griffin's performance here in Phoenix last night and it was non-stop laughing for over three hours. Yes, this amazing woman knocked off one hilarious joke after another with subjects ranging from Kim Kardashian to Donald Trump, with Donald getting the most attention. You might think the Donald Trump severed head incident would have at least slowed her down but after some very insightful time following a couple of pity parties, she basically said 'screw it' and hit the road with her new world tour. Guess what is the center of her three-hour act...the Donald Trump severed head incident.

She railed on Sarah Huckabee Sanders for a while and pretty much confirmed that she is the biggest liar in the world alongside her boss, Donald Trump. There were several quips on the Kardashian's and a lot of Hollywood gossip that only and insider like Griffin could know. But the main thrust of it all was how Kathy Griffin has been ostracized from tinsel town. Fired from the CNN New Year's Eve show and 25 performances of a scheduled tour were cancelled. Her current trek around the country was organized by her close friend and contrary to the comment from a show business big wig that she would never draw a crowd again over 500, there were over 1,800 at the Phoenix Symphony Hall.

Kathy told of how the Justice Department tried coercing to allow them to photograph her in a jail jumpsuit in handcuffs being led off to jail, to which she responded, "No fuckin' way." It took two months for her attorney to negotiate out of that; as it turned out, she had committed no crime, thus, no charges. By the way, my wife isn't fond of the "F" word, but she laughed at its use repeatedly during the show. It seems to not only fit Kathy Griffin's humor but actually compliment it. Wherever you are in the country, if this class-act comedienne comes to town, don't miss her!


2018: Most important U.S. election ever





VOTE TOMORROW!

Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: OPINION





Donald Trump's sending of troops to the U.S. Mexico border could cost taxpayers $200 million by the end of this year, and barring any violence, what exactly will they do? it is obvious this move is entirely for the purpose of cementing a Republican base that has put immigration as the number one issue in this election. But there is definite hope in the turning of two GOP seats in the Senate, necessary for a Dem majority. First, the early youth vote in Texas for Beto O'Rourke running against Ted Cruz. Second, Kyrsten Sinema is running ahead of Martha McSally in Arizona for retiring Jeff Flake's seat. Although the House appears to be turning to the left, Democrats must hold on to all current seats.

There isn't much time left for decision making but if you are wondering sitting there on the fence, just think of the last two years under Donald Trump and Google "Donald Trump stupidity." You will get over 5-million  sites, most of which represent a huge embarrassment to this country. In them are some of the most bizarre antics for even the lowest form of individual, must less the President of the United States. Then go vote!

Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: OPINION







After looking at today's news, I thought the above cartoon featuring the Oval Office Oaf was quite appropriate to represent the state of our country just before mid-term elections. 

There was another shooting today, and I emphasize "another" because there have been so many lately you are certainly aware of the gun violence, unless you're living under a rock. And then there are over 5,000 immigrants seeking entry to the U.S. through Mexico and the Trump administration's comment was "We won't shoot them." Not that they should be admitted en masse, but the pursuit of some diplomacy with their home countries is definitely in order. 

Democrats in Georgia are convinced that Republicans are attempting to rig the upcoming election by suppressing voters, and they are probably right, given the history around the country on this. North Korea is threatening to resume nuclear development over Trump's sanctions on that country and the "unvaccinated epidemic" continues in South Carolina with an outbreak of measles. I wonder how many of these irresponsible "vaxers" would take this stand if it were not for the arrogance of the Donald Trump administration? 

In other words, we need control and a Democratic Congress would solve that problem. GO VOTE, next Tuesday and I do care who you vote for, but that is not important. But if you don't vote, you have lost your voice in what is perhaps the most important election with which this country has ever been confronted.

Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: GOP Congress will always be anti-Obamacare




The idea of Republicans fighting insurance companies on behalf of consumers is pure BULLSHIT! If by chance the GOP should retain a majority in Congress, which I truly believe will not happen, Obamacare and all its great benefits could be history. Progressives and Democrats MUST VOTE next Tuesday, November 6!!!

Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: LISTEN to Tom Steyer





Tom Steyer's meeting in Greensboro, North Carolina, was attended by people of all ages, which tends to represent the spectrum of those voters out there who detest Donald Trump and want his governing controlled by a Democratic Congress. Steyer has been supporting impeachment for months, and has now joined the movement to win back Congress...both Houses. You should read this article because it brings together all of the elements of why Donald Trump must be beaten by curbing his power in the Oval Office.

Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: Trump goes only so far, then...





The Wall Street Journal reports "private analysts and the Federal Reserve say a slowdown is looming." Although  a recession isn't likely, this could significantly change the economic outlook. The question arises, what effect will this have on middle and lower incomes? The wealthy are guaranteed in Trump's plan.

Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: FedEx finally boots NRA





It took a while but another large company, FedEx, tells the NRA to take a walk. But think about this whole idea; by offering people discounts from an organization that promotes gun violence, often where children are the victims, it's almost like they were sponsoring the bloodshed.

Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: Trump likened to Saddam Husseim



Tom Steyer-Trump

Billionaire Tom Steyer, who so wants to impeach Trump, called the oaf of the Oval Office onc of the worst tyrants ever, likening him to Saddam Husseim and dictator Hugo Chavez. He said T-Rump has a “dictator’s playbook” and is perpetuating “systemic misogyny.” Since we know all these to be true, Trump supporters must be the dregs of the earth.

Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: U.S. Constitution be damned




Do we really want a Congress that supports a President who outwardly defies the Constitution with his proposed stupid executive order to take away the rights of innocent children who are legitimate America citizens? I DON'T THINK SO!

Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: Not the amoral Party.





CNN says that Donald Trump, elected as President of these United States, "has zero belief in the notion of the president as a moral leader in the country." What is even more tragic is the fact that his double-digit IQ supporters apparently think it is OK. Worse yet, a stupid Republican Congress supports the man. 

Fall and decline of the American Empire.

Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: Gun control-Gun control-Gun control



Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto

Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto and other mayors across the country have the right idea, we don't have to turn places like this Pittsburgh synagogue into armories as Trump and the NRA are calling for. We need to start taking the guns off the street that are causing this epidemic, which are the "common denominator" of all shootings, according to Peduto.

Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: Gun control-Gun control-Gun control



Las Vegas gun massacre-50 killed

At least 8 killed in Pittsburgh synagogue gun massacre, shooter armed with AK-47 and 2 pistols to do the job. Donald Trump pressed on new gun laws, gives his typical stupid retort, “if they had some kind of a protection inside the temple, maybe it could have been a very much different situation.” The implication, of course, to arm all of America. What would have prevented this is doing away with the National Rifle Assn. and taking the guns off the street.

Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: D Trump's Trade War





Unfortunately the Chinese can outlast us in a trade confrontation but this idiot doesn't realize this. So far it has hurt farmers creating a surplus and increased cost of equipment, and could create new auto jobs in china. What was the purpose?


Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: Anti-Vaxxers loose





Maybe with a Democratic Congress, we can pass a law that forces all the anti-vaxxers into an interment camp where they can share their irresponsibility with like minds.

Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: Stock Market collapse




And it looks like this is beginning to take place. Investors continue to "fret over corporate earnings, trade uncertainty and the outlook for economic growth." This dufus is degrading the economy from every direction.

Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: The Trump Tax Cuts




The simple answer to this is NO! The tax cuts were supposed to "result in a significant increase in productivity-enhancing investment which would then boost the long-term US growth path." According to a recent study, it has not, nor is it in the cards coming up.

Who wins 2018 U.S. Mid-terms?: The Democrats because...




There, above, is sufficient evidence why Donald Trump must be controlled after the mid-terms. Add to that the fact he is leading this country into sure disaster. Then, he's history in 2020!

LATEST: Montreal also voting on gun ban



Montreal will vote today whether to adopt a resolution that would echo the Toronto City Council’s call for new federal gun controls. It is reported...
"Following the shooting deaths of two people in Toronto’s Greektown neighborhood by an attacker with an illegally obtained handgun in late July, the Toronto City Council adopted a resolution supporting several federal and local gun restrictions. The measure called for a nationwide ban on all handguns and semi-automatic firearms, a prohibition on the at-home possession of firearms, shuttering the remaining shooting ranges and gun clubs in Toronto, and a local ban on the sale of handguns and “handgun ammunition” within the city."
And a pathetic U.S. Congress still pees its pants because the National Rifle Assn. and Wayne LaPierre refuses to allow even any thoughts of gun legislation so they refuse to even consder a U.S. gun ban.

Guns across U.S. border spurring Canadian gun violence


Wendy Cukier, president of the Coalition for Gun Control and a professor at Ryerson University in Toronto exclaimed, "historically in Toronto about two-thirds of handguns used in crimes came from the US." She added, "if you look at Chicago, which is the same size as Toronto, Chicago had 10 times as many gun murders last year as we did." But it's getting steadily worse in Canada and you might say there could also be a copycat effect; monkey see Americans getting away with rampant gun violence, monkey figure they can do the same in Canada. Gun nuts have no conscience nor control.

And there are more handguns in Canada today; 660,000 before 2013 to 840,000 in 2016, firearms which, by the way, require licensing.. But the reactions are exactly the opposite to gun violence in Canada from the U.S. Our cowardly morons in Congress say "Our thoughts and prayers are with you," and leave it at that. Immediately Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government proposed new legislation for stricter background checks and record controls. And Toronto City Hall is voting on a ban on handguns in city limits. Take that Wayne LaPierre and your stinkin' NRA.


"Truth isn't truth," says Rudy Giuliani


Will Don McGahn flip on Trump?
This the perfect opening for a piece on another of Donald Trump's lawyers that apparently has a wealth of information on his boss, and thinks it is something special investigator Robert Mueller should know. The article I am reading from a very reputable source is anything but clear on what Don McGahn has revealed or will talk about in the future. The implication is that Trump actually condones what McGahn is doing, urging him to testify from the beginning. Giuliani's comment about truth is, of course, his typical confusion with reality.

It is known that McGahn has "knowledge of intense encounters" with Donald Trump and his cooperation stems from earlier advice from T-rump's previous attorneys. William Burck, McGahn’s lawyer, even credits Trump with a commitment not to interfere. The problem with this is that you can never believe what Donald Trump says. And here's a good reason why...
"McGahn also told Mueller how the president tried without success to get his then staff secretary Rob Porter to warn McGahn that he could be fired if he didn’t deny the Times article that said the president ordered him to fire Mueller."
One former administration official said that Trump  "did not immediately grasp the difference between the White House lawyer and his personal lawyer" when it is in fact McGahn's "job is to protect the office of the president, not Trump the individual."

Donald Trump Says He Will Be Indicted On Tuesday
