NO!

Mark Zuckerberg was censoring the news on his Facebook Thing A Ma Jig.  He said so.  In his own words.  We're bewildered.  No, not that this great Wunderkind would do such a thing but we're on Facebook and is there news on this thing?  Where?  I see pictures of friends and their families, where they went on vacation and what they're up to on a given day and that's news to us.  But news!  Like in the stuff on the WOWTMSM (What Once Was The Main Stream Media)?  Where?  Of course, The Wunderkind thinks he influenced you.  Did he?  Maybe you shouldn't answer that, as this article will be on the Facebook Thing A Ma Jig and we don't want to hurt the The Wunderkind's feelings, if you all give a resounding NO!

And with all the hoopla surrounding RFK Jr.'s bending of the knee to Donald (HLH), Trump POTUS, HIAH, did anyone stop to think about Nicole Shanahan?  Who you ask?  Well she was RFK Jr.'s Vice Presidential running mate and now, she's nothing.  You didn't even know her name.  Actually, neither did we.  We had to look it up.  But one day she had sugar plum fairies dancing in her head.  Imagining that she would be sitting in the VP's chair waiting for RFK Jr. to get assassinated, as Kennedy's who run for President are known to get.  Then the next day, she gets a one way ticket to Palookaville.  Does anyone care?  Again, maybe it's better to not answer that, as a resounding NO, might hurt her feelings.

BTW RFK Jr. could have been our first Autistic President.  Oh, what might have been!

And back in 2018 Megyn Kelly got fired from NBC.  NBC in case you didn't know was one of the keystones of WOWTMSM.  Supposedly she did something that was politically incorrect but who knows?  These are the same people who had Matt Lauer running around for decades molesting women at their network and they never noticed.  But what did Megyn do?  Did she cry?  Did she go to work for one of those obscure cable networks where you're never heard from again, like Chris Cuomo? 

No, she started her own Podcast!  And the numbers are in.  Last month Megyn's Podcast got 116.8 million views.  Sky News got 87 million views on their site.  CBS News got 83 million views on their site and NBC?  Well they got 78 million views on their site.  Who's laughing now?  And this just goes to show that sometimes NO, might just be like what the guy in the movie 'Cool Hand Luke' said about nothing.  "Sometimes NO! is a real cool hand."

Maybe we'll call her 'Cool Hand Megyn', from now on.

Idle Thoughts

After the USA women's Basketball team clinched the gold at the 2024 Olympics, a lot of Americans were moved by the sight of Brittany Greiner with her hand over her heart and tears running down her cheeks.  Not so long ago, Britany was caught in Russia with a bag full of Pot and they locked her up.  Diplomatic maneuvering got her out of jail and back to the US of A.  Some people think that she was just glad to be an American and finally appreciated this country.  Other people think, the only thing in her mind was...  'In America you can smoke Pot.  All the Pot you want too.'

Which when you stop to think about it, might be the same thing or close to it.

And sticking with sports in a new book, 'Out Of The Darkness, The Mystery Of Aaron Rodgers.  The book explains that in 2014 Rodgers stopped speaking to his parents.  After one of his worst games Rodgers' then girlfriend Olivia Munn called his parents and in a rant told them never to come to one of his games again!  The Parents did not hear from their son Aaron for the next nine years.  But the book goes on to explain that it wasn't Olivia Munn's fault.  That Aaron Rodgers is the kind of guy that if he thinks you crossed him, you are dead to him.  He never speaks to you again.  So it wasn't Olivia Munn's fault.  It's just the way Aaron Rodgers is.  Boy, are we glad, this book, got that out of the way.

Now if Aaron Rodgers can last longer than the three plays of last year and actually play for the New York Jets.  Jets fans everywhere, will rejoice.

Now Alex Murdaugh might get a new trial.  That's the guy who shot and killed his wife and his son.  He was also the big cheese lawyer in Hampton South Carolina, who robbed his clients.  He got so many years in jail for all the fraud he committed, he'd have to live to a hundred and two, just to do the minimum.  So you might ask why try him on the murder charges again?

Well this could be a case of the original murder trial got such high ratings on the T.V. news, all the other news outlets and so much attention on Tik Tok, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, why not have a sequel?  Of course, the bad guy usually doesn't do much better in the sequel.  See The Mummy Returns where the Mummy gets sent back to hell again, girlfriend in tow.  Or the Godfather II, where all the Corleone enemies, get it, again.  Or the Godfather III, where everybody dies.  Maybe Alex Murdaugh should just say thanks but no thanks.

Like we said these are just idle thoughts.  We're just speculating.  We might be wrong on a few things here.

Quiz Time?

Every once in awhile we have a quiz.  You remember these things from grade school.  You'd show up and the Teacher would tell you.  "Today we're having a quiz."  It would be short but you would have had no time to study for it.  This is when the concept, that life isn't fair, began to dawn on you.

Question 1. Tim Walz, Momala Harris's pick for the dem VP slot was...

A. One of the guys who planted the flag on the top of Mr. Suribachi.

B. The most decorated soldier of the Viet Nam War and subject of the book 'The Da Nang Killer'.

C. Democratic Party's new Vice Presidential candidate and the guy who said.  "Do you want to live forever?"

D. An Army reservist who when he found out his Company was headed for Iraq, retired so fast he was home in bed before the ink on the paperwork dried.

E. The man who said.  "Burn baby burn."

Question 2.  California's Governor Gavin Newsome was seen cleaning up homeless encampments because...

A. He was caught spray painting graffiti in downtown Los Angeles and subsequently sentenced to 100 hours of community service.

B. His ten year plan to solve the homeless crisis in California expired 6 years ago and he felt he had to do something.

C. He desperately wanted some attention, as his plans to steal the nomination from Old Brains Biden went awry.

D. He may have to find a new career because his plans to steal the nomination from Old Brains Biden went awry.

Question 3. Three wannabee terrorists have been arrested in Austria for planning an attack at a Taylor Swift concert that was going to be held in Vienna.  The motive for this was...

A. They're terrorists or wannabee terrorists, it's what they do.

B. They said she's nothing but a 'Ho' and she gets way too much attention for someone who can't sing much.

C. The three wannabee terrorists dropped a whole lot of money on last year's Superbowl.  They said.  "F*ck Travis Kelce!"

D. All of the above.

Question 4.  J-Lo and Ben Afflack are getting divorced because...

A. According to her people, he's a triple A-h*le.

B. It was the commercial they made for Dunkin Donuts.

C. She's been married and divorced three times and had 7 other major, well publicized relationships and she's dumped everyone else, why not Ben Afflack?  In fact, it's the second time for him.  It's what she does.  He should have seen it coming.

D.  All of the above.

Answers

Question 1.  The correct answer is D.  Now answer C might have confused you as WOWTMSM (What Once Was The Main Stream Media) has been saying he's the dems VP but the party hasn't confirmed him as yet.  And a whole lot of people are trying to tell you that his reserve service makes some kind of hero but the truth hurts here.

Question 2.  The correct answer is C.  Now D sounds very similar but we're pretty sure Home Boy has socked away many many millions, just like most everyone else in the elected business, so he won't ever need another career.

Question 3. The correct answer is A.  Taylor Swift concerts attract a whole lot of people and that's why they picked her.  It was nothing personal, just business, the terrorist business.  A whole lot of her fans were seen crying on camera, as the Austrian police cancelled all her concerts in Vienna and her fans didn't get to see her.  But maybe they should just be happy they didn't become statistics.  Note to DJT, maybe you should hire these Austrian Cops.

Question 4.  The correct answer is D.  All of the above.  Now some of you might be saying.  "The commercial?  Why would that...?"  To that we say, watch it again.

Scoring.  Give yourself 25 points for every correct answer.  There are no partial points for any of these questions even though some of the answers might have been a little bit confusing.  Like we said, part of the function of a quiz, is learning that life isn't fair.

If you got a 100 congratulations!  You got it, going on.  We will tell you in a future column where to pick up your prize.  Keep tuning in to this site.  If you got 75, or even just 50, that's okay.  This one was a little tough.  If you got anything less...  Seek help.

How Dare They?

Norah O'Donnell is out as the Anchor of CBS Nightly News.  Norah O'Donnell in case you didn't know was the first woman to Anchor any of the alphabet Nightly News programs.  Actually she's the only woman whoever Anchored any of  alphabet Nightly News programs.  But now she's toast, see you later, goodbye Norah we hate to see you go, gone.  You would think there would be much Hue and Cry over this but no.  There is no one shaking the rafters or screaming bloody murder, as the only woman Anchor gets kicked down the road.  It is left to us and only us, to ask..  How Dare They!

Of course the reason given is low ratings.  Seems CBS is mired in third place, almost fixed there behind NBC and ABC news.  But it's not like anyone is watching those other outlets much either.  The three big alphabet networks used to have most of the adult population tuning every night.  But then came cable TV and the internet, not to mention all the hoaxes and scandals that the What Once Was The Main Stream Media has been caught up in.  But the once great audience has dwindled down to a precious few.  And the worst part is most of the precious few, are over 65, so they're dying off every day.  But why fire Norah O'Donnell?  It's not her fault that almost no one watches this bleep anymore!  Ooops we almost said a bad word there.  Actually we did but we caught it on the edit.  But again, How Dare They!

And, U. S. Prosecutors have reached a plea deal with the Mastermind of the 9/11 attacks Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and his Myrmidons, Walid bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi.  They will all plead guilty to conspiracy, take a life sentence, avoid a trial and the needle.  Now some in the Mass Hysteria are screaming all bloody hell that the U.S. should not have taken the death penalty, off the table.  But as usual, they miss the larger picture.

These guys Khalid, Walid and Mustafa are supposed to be Jihadis.  They are supposed to go out in a great ball of fire, like the guys they sent into the World Trade Towers, The Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania.  They are supposed to embrace Martyrdom!  They are supposed to get the 72 Virgin package.  Now all they can hope for is some young boys show up at Gitmo.  And, if you're a Jihadis, how is this supposed to make you feel?  Sick to your stomach, no doubt.  How would you like these guys for heroes?  Talk about feet of clay.  How's about gutless, lily livered and sissy boys?  All we have to say to them is.  How dare you?

P.S. Since we went to Press, the U.S. Government has since revoked the plea deal.  But it doesn't change the paradigm.  Khalid, Walid and Mustafa took the deal  They are still, gutless, lily livered, sissy boys.
