    Oh Bobbie…..CNN sticks, CNN sucks, CNN sucks. And heard from the Bernie crowd outside the 2016 DNC National Convention, “Lock her up, lock her up!” Music to my ears.
    But I do have to give it up for Politifact. They wiped the floor with Ilhan Omar (D-Tax Cheat) statements on guns. Mercy. She got it so wrong that gave a jumping up and down Pants on Fire. And somebody else just gave Harris or Gillibrand or the NYT four plus Pinocchios then five. I think five is the most they go before jumping head first into the inferno.

    Here’s one we can start the clock on. This is a Trump promise:
    “Obamacare has been a disaster,” Mr. Trump told ABC News in an interview aired on Sunday evening. His own plan, he insisted, would lower costs. “You’ll see that in a month when we introduce it. We’re going to have a plan. That’s subject to winning the House, Senate and presidency, which hopefully we’ll win all three. We’ll have phenomenal health care.”
    Se mark your calendar for July 16 and we’ll see what he comes up with.

    Here’s an idea. Trump should hire Todd and Gregory to be his pollsters because they are the only ones who believe Trump is doing fine in the polls. They rely only on the discredited Rasmussen poll for their numbers. Trump fired his pollsters because he didn’t want to face the grim numbers they came up with.

    BillT the press hoped the guy died but he did not and is now a pain in their ass. The left kills and shoots up most places and fill the prisons. That is why Paul Emery wants jailed killers and terrorists to get to vote. As far as polls, Rasmussen uses likely voters and that is the best indicator of future voting. CNN polls people from El Salvador who are on their way to see if they will vote for Trump. Oh my!

    From the social scene and in solidarity with Pride Month, Rachel Dolezal has come out as bi. I think that is a good thing simply because the bi-sexuals do not get the attention they deserve or once had. The trannies have been sucking all the air out of the room and hogging all the attention. The Bi-sexual have been left behind. Not fair.
    Bi means two, such as binary. Since she has been celibate for four years, can’t hurt to expand the available pool of lucky candidates.
    “Just because I have been married (briefly) to a man or have had children by male partners does not mean I am not bi,” she added, also insisting she is not “confused, “‘almost’ gay” or “any less monogamous”.

    Rachel has since updated her Twitter post to include a promotion for her new book.
    —————————
    For the Theatrical Arts scene, I am surprised the play found a new venue and has good reviews. Turned it into a comedy and a success. Material is outrageously funny.
    “The new play “FBI Lovebirds: UnderCovers” plays like a “Saturday Night Live” sketch, only every word is true and it’s actually funny.
    “Detailing the conspiracy to overthrow President Trump by FBI-employed lovers, Phelim McAleer’s play premiered in Washington, DC to incredible success. The verbatim play had some difficulties securing a venue, as the previous theater dropped out at the last minute, but nothing was going to keep this play from reaching its audience. And that audience was thrilled that it did. “FBI Lovebirds” is a hilarious play with a strong cast, great script, and a perfect story.
    “Using entirely the texts between Strzok and Page and their congressional hearing testimonies, the play tells the full story of the affair, attempted coup, and failed cover-up. While backlogs of texts and transcripts of testimony may sound dull, that idea could not be further from the truth. The script was absolutely hysterica
    “Cain and Swanson were brilliant as the eponymous agents and lovers Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. Cain played Strzok as an overly confident, pompous man-child whose neuroticism cannot belie the fact that he believes he is the smartest man in the room. Cain’s natural charisma shines through the ridiculous words of the philandering FBI Agent. Cain injected every utterance of “winky face” and “five exclamation points” with meaning and humor, leaving the audience in stitches.”
    https://thefederalist.com/2019/06/14/fbi-lovebirds-undercovers-is-a-comedic-hit/
    “Playing the adulterous FBI lovers, Cain and Swanson made the most of this material. Reading their text messages from binders on stage, they played the couple as smug, immature, smirking know-it alls, but Cain and Swanson also read aloud the couple’s emojis and exaggerated punctuation for added emphasis. Every reference to a text that ended with a “winky face” or “five exclamation points” was met with howls of laughter from the audience.”

    ““The pioneer as a symbol is really the championing of the mysticism around Native American history and the myths that people believe that this land was uninhabited and uncivilized and those things we know aren’t true now,” Gilbert explained.
    The University of Oregon released a long statement condemning the statue. In the statement, the university argued that the statue fails to convey more than a singular perspective on American history. Specifically, according to the statement, the statue ignores the plight of Native Americans who had their lands taken from them. ”

    See LIBS?? I told you so.
    Former Vice President Joe Biden said Monday that his first order of business if he is elected president is to repeal the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
    Biden made the remark in Washington, D.C. during the Poor People’s Campaign Presidential Forum at Trinity Washington University. The event features low-income Americans asking questions of ten Democratic presidential candidates, including Biden, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
    After one attendee asked Biden how he would combat the “lie of scarcity” regarding resources, Biden insisted there is “plenty of money” in the U.S. and vowed to obtain some of it through repealing tax cuts.
    “Number one, we have the greatest income inequity in the history of the United States of America since 1902, and the fact of the matter is, there is plenty, plenty of money to go around,” Biden replied. “The first thing I would do as president is eliminate the president’s tax cut.”
