Phyllis Schlafly – when America was great again.

It appears that her final act was endorsing Donald Trump.

“Phyllis endorsed me at a time when it was not necessarily the thing to do, even the popular thing to do, and I will never forget that that had a great, great impact,” Trump said. “I look forward to being with her family tomorrow.”

So then ….

If this is the great Trump wants to take America back to, I hope he brings clubs and caves and Phyllis’ funeral.

Thanks to Carl in Cheboygan for the heads up.

Donald Trump wants you to know that if elected, he will not kill journalists.  However, journalists are definitely on his hit list.

During a campaign rally in Walker, Michigan Monday, Donald Trump discussed his praise of Vladimir Putin, addressing critics who say the Russian president is responsible for the murder of journalists in his country.

“Then they said, ‘You know, he’s killed reporters,’” Trump said to a crowd of 7,500 people. “And I don’t like that. I’m totally against that.”

“But I do hate them,” Trump said. “I hate some of these people, but I’ll be honest, I would never kill them.”

“Some of them are such lying, disgusting people, it’s true,” Trump continued, repeating he “would never kill them.”

Reminder to journalist: he also said he would never lie.

So … make sure your passport is up to date just in case.

It has long been a Republican practice to accuse your opponent of your own weakness.  Louie Gohmert perfected it today.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said Hillary Clinton is “mentally impaired” during a speech at the Values Voter Summit on Friday.

Gohmert said that he didn’t want to make fun of Clinton, then went on to do just that.

“You don’t make fun of people who are impaired, have special needs, and whether you like her or not, Hillary Clinton has made clear that she is mentally impaired and this is not somebody you should be making fun of,” Gohmert said to laughter in the audience.

Louie went on to say that Hillary might have been smart when she went to law school but something has happened since then.  “A concussion,” he innocently asks.

I used to work in a news room with an uptight Republican woman – she wrote the style section, of course – and I learned about Christian gossip.  I would hear her on the phone telling one of her friends, “We need to pray for Betty Ann.  Her husband is running around with that floozy woman again so she needs our love and our prayers.”  Next one, “Bless her sweet heart, Brandi’s liposuction didn’t go well so please remember her in your prayers.”  Then, “Add David to your prayer list because he got another DWI and Lauren is fixing to kill him.  We need to do a lot a praying for them.”

Sometimes she would say, “Please pray for Mary Lou,” and not say why, leaving her friend the necessary task of having to call everyone in her Sunday School class to find out what the hell is going on with Mary Lou and if they don’t know, they start calling other people, all the while claiming that they are just trying to find out what they should be praying for.

I began to call that, “Prayer List Adding,” and questioned her about how that was different from gossip.  She replied, “Oh Susan, prayer is powerful and we all need to pray for people in need.” I asked why not just pray for everybody?  Her answer, “I don’t know everybody.” I could not argue with that.

I’m pretty sure she called all her friends at night asking them to pray for me because I cuss, drink, and once made a county commissioner cry.  If she did, it didn’t work.

So Louie was simply Prayer list Adding, a popular sport with Super DeLux Brand Christians.

Thanks to every and their Aunt Matilda for the heads up. Love you guys.

Democrats have a sense of humor.

When the head of Latinos for Trump warned of “taco truck on every corner,” which he mistakenly thought would be a bad thing, Democrats kicked into gear.

The US Hispanic Chamber of Commerce is going to use “a taco trucks on every corner” to fuel a voter registration campaign.

Named Guac the Vote, the organization is working with more than 200 chambers of commerce and business associations to make taco trucks a one-stop shop. On top of providing the public with delicious tacos, USHCC hopes they’ll double as voter registration centers. With registration deadlines quickly approaching for many states, USHCC wants to get the ball rolling soon.

Guac the Vote, y’all.  All they need is a Donald Trump piñata at every truck and a baloney taco.

I love yew, Uhmerica.

So, two women go into a karaoke bar in Fresno, California. They were looking forward to a well-earned night of fun. Until ….

“But before our song was called, a bar employee came up and said we had to buy drinks to sing karaoke. Another bartender lunged at us within inches of our faces and shouted ‘Buy drinks!’”

They had drinks.  They apparently weren’t buying them fast enough.  They also noticed that none of the there customers were being forced to buy drinks.

Oh, did I mention …

… that they were the only non-whites in the bar?

They refused to leave so the cops were called.

Conner said that once cops arrived, other customers rallied to their defense, saying the allegedly racist rule didn’t exist on other nights. She said patrons also tried ordering drinks for the attorneys so the bartenders would let them stay, but The Brig still allegedly refused the women service.

Oh wait, did I mention ….

… that both of them work for the ACLU?

Thanks to Pam for the heads up.

Trump supporters are mostly racists who openly boast about being racists.  That’s what separates them from Libertarians.  Libertarians are racists who don’t talk about it openly.

Libertarianism is social Darwinism splashed with adolescent crushes on Ayn Rand.

Goofy old Ron Paul has been replaced by former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson, who is proudly carrying on the Goofy Banner.

This morning on MSNBC he was asked about the situation in Aleppo.

“What is Aleppo?” Mr. Johnson said when asked on MSNBC how, as president, he would address the refugee crisis in the Syrian city that is a stronghold of the Islamic State.

When pressed as to whether he was serious, Mr. Johnson indicated that he really was not aware of the city, which has been widely covered during the years that Syria has been engulfed in civil war. After Mike Barnicle, an MSNBC commentator who is often part of the “Morning Joe” program panel, explained that Aleppo was the center of Syria’s refugee crisis, Mr. Johnson struggled to recover.

After calling a friend for a clue, his final answer was that we should “partner with Russia to diplomatically improve the situation there.”

If Johnson is truly a libertarian, how knows he’s fixing to get walloped by the free market forces.
