[Now that we're back to mudball fights, we should take them to a fresh sandbox. I'm constantly amused by our lefty readers not refuting/citing the facts but simply dismissing them on the basis of their dislike of the publisher or broadcaster. Haven't seen rightwinger dismiss what came out of Maddow simply because it came out of Maddow, who can report verifiable facts as well as the next talking head. But some of us do take Maddow et al with a dim view when they offer their opinions and interpretations as being something more than the views from their respective perches. gjr]

Itβs a weird world. Just few days ago I was tempted to post a one-liner that would have said, βIs it just me, or has anyone else noticed that no one is talking about John Bolton anymore.β
Glad I did not post that. All we heard after the Christmas break in January was βBolton, Bolton Bolton, the darling of the Left who was going to bring down Trump and have Orange Man Bad convicted and removed from office.β
Now it is back to hating on Bolton. I wish they would make up their minds. I wish for that which is impossible. The silver lining is that they have made up their minds: China good, America bad. Iran good, America bad. Hamas good, Israel bad.

BIDEN MUST GO
βAs the Trump administration has been working feverishly (if at times misguidedly, in my opinion) to deal with the Wuhan virus, Joe Biden has been a pathetic bystander, putting out videos from his house and appearing occasionally on television. In both venues he has repeatedly lied about what the Trump administration is doing. Or, to be fair, he may be so out of it that he just doesnβt have a clue. Democratic Party fact-checkers have racked up one Biden Pinocchio after another, as his claims have been impossible to defend.
But the real point is that Biden lacks the mental capacity of an average human being, let alone a viable candidate for the presidency. Check out this clip, which is a couple of days old; I just saw it today on The Lid. Biden bizarrely claims that stimulus checks are being held up because the president insists on signing all of them, personally:β

They all sound alike. Uninterested in climbing out of the hole, just more 2016 election nonsense. If all that you have is a hammer, etc.
Truth is, if you go through every decision and statement of the last decade or two, there’s plenty of failed ventilator designs and stock-ups, plenty of N95 shortages, plenty of people who were too optimistic and too pessimistic. I certainly don’t blame Obama for the lack of N95s in the stockpile, 100:1 odds he never knew about it, plus it wasn’t an obvious problem.
Bummer that none of these folks in charge have time machines, I really did like the cartoon posted up of FDR getting bitched at after Pearl Harbor. Imagine the screwups in the first campaign in North Africa.
Set aside a billion medical masks, and the next problem will be an asteroid or a Carrington Event (or the lack of a certain Soviet Colonel). Count on it.

Excellent. I sometimes shake my head at this Addicted to Outrage hysterics directed at Trump for decisions made by the Bureaucracy that any POTUS would be unaware of at the Chief Executive level.
Reminds me of when the Dems went after Jim Jordan when he was an assistant wrestling coach for homosexual sexual assaults in the locker room showers . First, the two assurers were totally discredited, being in a different place and time and the story fell apart, not tmtionthe criminal records and previous convictions for lying, dealing, and being shiftless fellows.
Second, not one of the 8 wrestlers said they ever told Jordan about any incidents, not one accused Jordan of anything except outstanding and upstanding conduct, That was when Dems where trying to kick Jordan off the committee. Same thing happened to Nunes.
Anyway, when all was said and done and the ethics committee ended the Jordan investigation, Pelosi stood before the cameras and declared that even though Jordan did not know of any inappropriate behavior going on, ββHe Should Have!β

I discovered a channel, Inspiration that runs restored versions of very popular old TV shows with western themes bridging new programing. It had advertised the premier episode of Gunsmoke this weekend which to my surprise had a big intro from the Duke. It was the number 1 tv show for a long time and Bonanza which is number 2 and also The Virginian which is number 3.
I had seen some of the Bonanza and Gunsmokes at my Grand Parents but never saw the half hour BW Gunsmokes or anywhere near them all. Never seen the Virginian’s. They are not bad at all and i have enjoyed them for their production values and the horse handling and guest stars.
So yesterday they had a chi com virus PSA with new show stars being pushed with a mix of old TV personalities.
To my surprise they had very recent video of James Drury who was the star of my newly discovered Virginians do a small bit. I had no idea he was still alive and was pleasantly surprised and he looked happy.
Then this today –
