“MSNBC-YA” JOY

Look, I’ve been saying for a SUPER long time I never got Joy Reid. She is an angry, ANGRY human, mostly about fake news or fake things and spewed her anger disproportionately every chance she got. When I read that she got canned, I actually felt sorry for her… for a second. I snapped out of it and realized HOW AWESOME it was that a self-loathing race baiter had been purged over at that dreadful station.

Race baiting is an Industry, gang. It’s a media marketing strategy that deliberately exploits and profits from the existence of racism. It wasn’t always this way, but some greedy and devious people recognized the profit value of racism and – BOOM!  BAZILLIONS was made by stoking the flames, poking the bear and manufacturing division. The end result? The JOY REID SHOW. Like-minded people advertised whatever and stuff during her program… until they didn’t – because she wasn’t making them money because no one watched that piece of garbage anymore. Joy Reid did NOT get fired because she’s hideous. She got fired because of the bottom line. Follow the $$ people. Follow the money.

SCARING THE ELDERLY IS ABUSE

While the meat of this story stems from a recent local situation here in Rhode Island, the thing you need to hear me say about this is something I’VE always believed and felt, regardless of which political persuasion you fall under. Any politician who walks into a high rise, nursing home or SENIOR CENTER to manipulate, twist facts or make specific statements using hyperbole is engaging in ELDER ABUSE. While it’s true, this has gone on for years and years… now that I’m caring for my mother who has cognitive issues, and I see what she goes through at almost 80, I am very sensitive to what POLITICIANS try and do to seniors.

Recently, RI Congressman Gabe Amo dropped into a Senior Center to discuss the things he’s working on. One of the things he mentioned was Medicaid and what HE THOUGHT could happen now that TRUMP is President. This infuriated me. If Rep. Amo brought facts and evidence about his concerns and presented this to older folks so they can be educated and make more informed decisions this wouldn’t even be a thing. Instead, he worked the crowd and fear mongered to a group of vulnerable, anxious, confused and easily impressionable people with something that could “possibly happen” – without providing facts and specific policy positions which would show this is true.

Specifically, he was talking about “possible” cuts to Medicaid which ALWAYS terrifies seniors. Look, I’ve always said, there’s a special place in hell for people who prey on the elderly, animals, and children. The way I see it, Rep AMO’s behavior was predatory. Plain and simple, and it’s repulsive. SHAME on any LAWMAKER who resorts to this desperate tactic in order to retain a voting base. It’s despicable. HIGH FIVE to the 79-year-old guy from Barrington, RI who stood up at this event and said NAH, not so fast. “You’re just trying to scare people. You’re a liar and you’re scaring people”. BRAVO, sir – because it’s the TRUTH.

$5,000 CHECK FROM DOGE

People, I swear to GOD, if the folks out there with TRUMP derangement syndrome CASH ANY CHECKS DOGE may mail out (AOC.., JOY BEHAR… JOY REID… the out of work ROBERT De NIRO or any screeching Democrat who is saying “GET to the streets and get violent”…), I’ll die laughing. Isn’t it crazy to talk to people like this who sound so wacky and unhinged? These folks are saying (after TRUMP’S 38 days in office) “EGGS ARE STILL EXPENSIVE!”… “THE ECONOMY ISNT FIXED!”… “WE DON’T WANT ILLEGAL CRIMINALS TO BE DEPORTED! STOP IT”… “WE WON”T STOP MEN FROM COMPETING IN WOMEN’S SPORTS!”… “TRUMP HATES AMERICANS!”… “ELON MUSK IS STEALING THE DOGE MONEY!”. YEP, everyone knows one of these types, and its pitiful.

I mean when you think about Rhode Island, where I live, a TRADITIONALLY BLUE STATE that is now just about 42% Republican… it’s stunning. It goes to show you how far the party has moved away from the everyday Joe, but I digress. IF any of these types of people CASH that check, they’re done. Their insanity will be on full display as they walk over to the teller with their “F#@! TRUMP” t shirt on and blue hair looking for the $$ DOGE recovered, which they protested. I PRAY someone snaps a pic of that bad boy just for posterity’s sake.

Look, I’m not in love with EVERYTHING this new administration is doing (necessarily)… but I can sure sleep peacefully at night knowing AMERICA is once again BADASS, there’s sanity woven back into the fabric of this nation, and we have a President who is putting majority consensus and AMERICA – first. Right on. It’s about time, people. It’s about time. But hey… what do I know?

(Oh ya! Lastly, LEAVE your comments below this COLUMN about ANYTHING! IF you agree, disagree or whatever! I love hearing from you all!!!!)

That’s all I got this week gang. “IT IS WHAT IT IS”

Till next time,
