Romney Sells-out Trump

As all the news networks will point out, Donald Trump was acquitted today by a vote in the United States Senate. However, it was not a party line vote. Not one single Democrat joined the Republicans in acquitting him. Was it Lisa Murkowski from Alaska? Susan Collins from Colorado? Cory Gardner from Colorado? The last 2 are going to be in for tough re-election battles and I could have seen them waffling or playing it down the middle, they chose not to. In fact all 3 voted to acquit. Remember the line from the OJ trial…if the bribe doesn’t seem legit…you must acquit. Or something along those lines! Who was the lone Republican Senator who voted to convict the Trumpster?

I figured it had to be someone from a “moderate” state or something, since these guys mostly do anything they can to win their next election. Nope, it was Mitt Romney. Yep, the junior Senator from Utah, a state which gave Trump 45% of the vote despite the efforts of a “conservative alternative candidate” getting 27%. Romney, the same Senator who pleaded for Trump’s support in 2018 when he ran for Senate, cast the lone GOP vote to convict. Romney is an LDS (Mormon) and garnered 68% of the vote in Utah the same day Republican candidates in the House were going down in flames. Just keep in mind, not. A. single. GOP. House. Member. Voted. To. Convict.

So…Troll Roast him!

Mitt Romney you are a useless, chameleon. Literally you change your stripes more than the Cheshire Cat in Alice and Wonderland. You voted for the tax cut, sure but look at all the fees you raised as governor of Taxaschusetts! You were a big pro-choice guy…all the up to 2005 when you claimed you had an epiphany, then you entered the 2008 presidential race! However, in between, you vetoed a pro-life bill on the grounds you wanted emergency contraceptives available in hospitals in Massachusetts! When your term was up, you were one of the most unpopular governors in the country….I guess it’s hard to please them all! So, you ran for president in 2008, lost, then ran again in 2012 and again you lost to a wounded Barack Obama. You fell victim to your politically correct ways wanting to shy away from taking him on directly, fearing to be labeled a racist.

Cheshire Cat

Keep in mind, this same Romney that supported the TARP bailout in 2008 because… well, Wall Street needed it. Worse yet, when asked if he would support Trump in 2016, he was adamantly against Trump. I place Mitt firmly in the “anyone but Trump, until I need a job” category. I am willing to bet the billions he made at Bain Capital, outsourcing millions of American jobs overseas, that he voted for Hillary. I can say this with almost 100% surety because in Massachusetts where he lived at the time, only Trump and Hillary were on the ballot; lest you admit you didn’t vote. Upon Trump’s election, he sought him out looking for a job as Secretary of State, and when you weren’t picked, like the jilted ex-boyfriend, you decide to go on the warpath.

(Why is it that only Senators that have resided in Massachusetts want to go on the warpath? –Editor)

Mitt, you changed your address in January of 2018 to run for Senate in Utah. This is a textbook definition of carpet bagging. You sought out Trump for an endorsement, Trump graciously gave it to you without precondition, and I would say it helped. Now you pay him back with this? C’mon Mitt!

Congrats on the Senate election. You may think you made friends this week; however, the cameras will be back on the Democrats running for President and the leaders in the House and Senate. I think you will find yourself very lonely. Worse yet, you have proven a turncoat. You are the worst kind of person Mitt.

Oh, let me know how Christmas and other family functions are between you and your niece, Rhonda Romney McDaniel, the Head of the RNC… personally picked by Trump. I would be curious to see your endorsement page in 2024 when you run for re-election.

Corona Confusion

No, not the kind of Corona confusion Johnnie Does experienced in his youth when he suffered from “the twelve hour flu” after an evening out on the town. The flu data coming out of China may very well be bogus. Folks, I’m used to logical disconnects between the media and reality but when our government and the WHO (World Health Organization) are in a near panic, I think we should pay attention.

Today I saw an interesting story out of Taiwan about what’s taking place in the land of the sleeping dragon. Assuming the data cited in the article is more reliable than vote counts by Democrats in Iowa, you better pay attention. The undercurrent of the story is that the data being reported/admitted to by the Chinese government is false… no surprise there.

On late Saturday evening (Feb. 1), Tencent, on its webpage titled “Epidemic Situation Tracker“, showed confirmed cases of novel coronavirus (2019nCoV) in China as standing at 154,023, 10 times the official figure at the time. It listed the number of suspected cases as 79,808, four times the official figure

.
The number of cured cases was only 269, well below the official number that day of 300. Most ominously, the death toll listed was 24,589, vastly higher than the 300 officially listed that day.


Moments later, Tencent updated the numbers to reflect the government’s “official” numbers that day. Netizens noticed that Tencent has on at least three occasions posted extremely high numbers, only to quickly lower them to government-approved statistics.

Tencent may have accidentally leaked real data on Wuhan virus deaths
“Real” data on left and “Official” data on right

Folks, if the death toll is really anywhere close to 25K people and more than 150K are listed as infected then the statistic I saw a week ago about the disease being up to 25 percent lethal are terrifying. It would explain much if things are really this bad. Until outside health observers are allowed in the infected area we won’t really know. If this spreads to other metro areas of China then it might merit comparisons with the 1917 Spanish Flu outbreak. FYI, Spanish Flu originated in China too.

Hidin’ Biden: Iowa Backup Plan

OK, let me get this straight. 99.999 percent of the tech industry and Silicon Valley, are Democrat and these guys think they live only to impose their political views on the rest of the world. They constantly boost Internet posts about Trump and Russian interference in elections and have for the better part of four years, but when their guys get to run their own election, the only results we get out of Iowa are the ones that aren’t run by Democrats; i.e. Trump won the Republican Caucus? Complete with results no less!!

Folks, every Dem that campaigned in Iowa is claiming victory except Joe Biden. That in itself tells you all that you need to know. As pointed out by others today, how much money have the Democrats pumped into Iowa in an effort to get early momentum? Now the results are tainted and any momentum from Iowa is nullified.

We told you that they would give Bernie the shaft in Iowa, but even I am surprised at this maneuver. The process is just a mess. But never fear, Nevada is planning on using virtually the same app for their Democrat primary in just a few short weeks…Oh, joy!

Next up is New Hampshire next Tuesday. Perhaps they will use paper ballots. I hope so, I miss Hanging Chads a lot more than votes originating in “the cloud” and trust a paper trail more than none at all.

Rush Limbaugh: Thoughts and Prayers

I was ready and willing to write a blog post for today but nothing in the news really struck me with enough interest to take the time… until I was at lunch today. I was checking in with the Sean Hannity show expecting to hear his opinion on the Iowa Caucus today when he started completely out of his normal format with a comment about Rush Limbaugh’s announcement. Then he played the audio of Limbaugh announcing that he had stage 4 lung cancer. Boom!!!!

Folks, Rush put a good spin on it, but after a quick survey of our editorial board, the consensus is that it’s not looking good for him. Rush will have the best doctors that money can buy but we all know that’s not always enough. We wish him the best and of course our prayers are with him.

I thought I would take a few minutes to jot down a few of my early memories of his program.

Before Rush was on KFBK there was Morton Downey Jr. Mort made a comment about a Chinese guy that was in local Sacramento politics, maybe on the City Council. As a result, Mort was fired and replaced by Rush. Mort all but disappeared except for a brief role in the movie Predator 2—with Danny Glover.

Mort Downey Jr. in Predator 2

At first I didn’t like listening to Rush as much as Mort. At the time, I was in the Navy and stationed in Alameda. I remember sneaking into the parking lot and listening to a static filled signal of the broadcast. Once I was discharged at the end of my enlistment, I moved to the Sacramento area. By then, I was a big fan. It was the late 1980’s.

I remember one show in particular. Rush got a call from an obvious member of the John Birch Society. Rush didn’t believe in the Birch philosophy so in his response, he went the other way just to tweak the guy and said, “I don’t believe in any conspiracy but if there is one, I want to be part of it.” Six months later, Rush moved to New York and began his national show.

Rush’s transition was painful and it took him a while to find his footing as he transitioned from a local program to a national one. Once he got on solid ground, he began a series of roadshows, the Rush to Excellence tours. The first tour was videotaped in Sacramento in 1989. I was invited to attend the show by David Knowles. David went on to serve in the State Assembly and Dept. of Insurance.

At the show, Rush was recounting many things that occurred on the radio show. At one point, he was talking about a condom campaign in New York City titled “Rubber-up for Safety.” The condoms were supposed to prevent AIDS and were stapled to information cards. The staple was placed in such a way to penetrate the condom and thus render them useless. Of course this was done using taxpayer money and thus deserved the mockery that only Rush could give it. As Rush was telling this story to his Sacramento audience, at just the right moment, I shouted out the name “Lee Nichols.”

(Nichols was the liberal counterpart to Rush’s local show on KFBK. He was a professor at Sac State and was best known for leaving his wife and children to pursue a homosexual lifestyle.)

Rush lost his train of thought and began laughing as did much of the audience. It was my 15 seconds of fame. Following my outburst, I was shown twice in shots of the audience. I didn’t know this until we watched to VHS tape many months later.

I did call into Rush’s show one time; back when I was a student at Sac State. It went quickly, as the call was dumped right after I asked my question. I learned then that you need to press him hard or you’re one and done.

Rush Limbaugh

I hope we have many more years to enjoy Rush. His loss would be a big blow to our Republic.

Johnnie Does: Sunshine BBQ Express

A brand new place, Sunshine BBQ Express, opened not far from my office that rivals the L&L Hawaiian BBQ joint I loved so much. To refresh you, its Hawaiian style BBQ and rice, macaroni salad etc. Johnnie Does has quite an established palette and has grown to enjoy Hawaiian BBQ. As all the loyal readers know, Johnnie Does can show no mercy if he doesn’t like your food, or he could serve as a springboard going forward.

Ambiance: This place is very small and may hold about 35 people inside. It’s your typical order at the counter and your food will be brought to you place. It’s quaint and has some cool décor on the walls. There was a bar type area to sit at that appeared out of place, as no liquor was on the menu. The owner said they had been open a month and they tried out a chipotle type cafeteria concept at first, which they later removed and put all cooking back in the kitchen as opposed to cafeteria style. 4.1/5

Food: It’s a very similar concept to L&L. They offer BBQ beef, short ribs, chicken, shrimp, fish products and spam. They also have a house special soup. The plates come with a scoop of white rice (not sure if brown was available as a sub) and a scoop of macaroni salad. I had something catch my eye, island fire shrimp, so I had to have it. It was a very generous portion, usually priced around $9.95, there had to have been about 20 some odd small shrimp, cooked with onions, a sweet and hot sauce and some broccoli and cabbage in addition to the rice and mac salad. This dish was amazing! The spicy sauce was a great pairing with the creamy, cool mac salad! 4.9/5

Overall: Prices are on point. It is a very small joint. I’m happy they transformed to a “cook after ordered” as opposed to a cafeteria style joint. The menu is a little hard to read on the wall, but the staff was great and the owner was working! I’m going to be a regular here and I’m looking for big things going forward! 4.75/5

Only drawback, it shares a parking lot with Foods Co. That shopping center often has a clientele that leaves a LOT to be desired. The address is 7501 W. Stockton Blvd across from Consumnes River College.

Trump Impeached….CRA Rejoices!

BY Mr. X

Yes, folks you read that correct. After Ted Cruz led the charge to allow witnesses to testify at the impeachment trial, Donald Trump was impeached and removed from office. Cruz was instrumental in getting John Bolton to reveal all kinds of dark secrets about “the Donald” such as the role of former KGB leader Vladimir Putin interfering in the 2016 election, the truth about the Steel Dossier, and the withholding of foreign aid to Ukraine.

Putin will be tried in the International Court for war crimes/election fraud alongside Trump, with Ted Cruz doing the prosecuting. Bolton has been re-instated as National Security Advisor and we are preparing a military operation called “Bomb Iran.” Lt. Col. Vindman will now head up Central Command of all US forces, with James Comey reinstated as FBI Director. For their role in the proceedings, Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler have been inserted into the Supreme Court, with Kavanaugh and Gorsuch being removed since the election was overturned.

Alexander Vindman

Whilst you gathered in a local Burger King ball pit to celebrate and donned your BK crown hat, the stock market has collapsed. Corporations are now outsourcing jobs by the tens of thousands. We now teach Mandarin in our public schools since we work for the Chinese now. Unemployment is rising, and Trump’s signature tax hikes have been ruled unconstitutional. Fracking is illegal, and healthcare is being rationed. All is well in your world, you can go back to fighting smart meters, fight for Second Amendment rights, and despising the Clinton’s while watching the latest installment of Hannity. We may not have prosperity or economic freedom but that’s ok because Trump is gone, and all can be right with the world again.

CRA Celebrates Trump’s removal at Burger King ball pit

Only one problem, Trump was acquitted. The only true turncoat in the Senate was Mitt Romney who your organization overwhelmingly supported for President in 2012.

Mitt RINO Romney

Your anointed Christ and Savior, Ted Cruz, actually fought tooth and nail for Trump…ouch that has to bite! Rand Paul, another favorite, tried to get the whistleblower named, he also helped Trump.

Your coalition is gone, your group hasn’t been relevant in decades. You buy pizza covered in meat for your meetings, ignoring any member who, due to religious beliefs, cannot eat it. You support under qualified drifter candidates for local office, ignoring races where your support could be useful. You no longer have activists just a bunch of unemployed/retired folks only interested in gun issues, smart meters, opposing 5G networks and Common Core, or other “tin foil” issues. Ask yourselves, does your admission criteria say the following: Have you never supported a winning campaign? Have you committed multiple FPPC violations? Have you been out of work for 20+ years? Do you watch way too much cable news? Is Ted Cruz your true Lord and Savior? If you answered Yes; then welcome to the CRA. Just pay your dues and be sure to support our preferred candidates.

Too bad for you that Trump was acquitted. Your sole-purpose in life is over and you know it. You despised the orange man and actively supported and hoped for his removal. Worse yet, you would have preferred another Clinton in the White House? Even the Obama’s didn’t want that! Worse yet, now I hear you drifters are claiming to support Trump…what a joke.

TRUMP 2020 you losers!
