Welcome to The World's Most Dangerous Beauty Salon, Inc.
My name is Susan DuQuesnay Bankston. I live in Richmond, Texas, in the heart of Tom DeLay's old district. It's nuttier than squirrel poop here.
I am honored and privileged to know Miss Juanita Jean Herownself, hairdresser extraordinary and political maven. Since she does not have time to fiddle with this internet stuff, I type her website for her and you can read it if you want to. If you don't, she truly does not give a big bear's butt.
A lot of what I post here has to do with local politics, but you probably have the same folks in your local government.
This ain't a blog. Blogs are way too trendy for me. This is a professional political organization.
Walls! Particularly, wall failures. Let’s count ’em –
Great Wall of China
Maginot Line
Berlin Wall
Siegfried Line
Atlantic Wall
Hadrian’s Wall
The walled cities of Troy, Jerusalem, Tyre, Acre, Rome, Carthage, etc. On and on.
I’m sure there are many others. All failed in the end. Why? Simples. Trouble is a moving target. Walls just sit there waiting to be solved. Illusions of security.
1“Drain the swamp” is sounding a little soggy from your position under the sewer drain, Donnie. In the most unique coup ever, ‘your’ three generals are taking a hike leaving you undefended in the WH. C’mon little man, you really don’t think Stephen Miller and a can of hair-like paint will save you.
Without Lyin’ Ryan in the House all that stands between you and Speaker Pelosi are Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows. Before you place your bet on those 2 stable geniuses, remember only you could bankrupt your own casino.
That leaves you with Old Scratch McConnell in the Senate. If you seriously think a Jared, Mick M and Mikey Dense peace party will assuage the turtle’s hurt feelings after you blew up his CR and left him dripping in his own turtle droppings, strike 2.
The courts. If Team Mueller spots you both Whitaker and Bill Barr, you can’t cover the venues that are popping up all over the original 13 colonies.
Happy Holidays to ***King Moron!
2Fox News finally got their War On Christmas. With their man President Grinch.
Programming note: Fox News will not be broadcasting the current War On Christmas. Please enjoy archive video of Roger Ailes and Bill O’Reilly burning documents in the News Corp penthouse fireplace.
3Chanting “don’t look at the news” over and over again while waking up today was an Epic Fail, as the kids say! These two headlines with first cuppa’ …..just. no.

4Donnie left quite the trail of breadcrumbs for Mueller’s follow the money scavenger hunt. Moscow Tower and collusion with Putin, another Trump monstrosity near Manila and footsies with Duterte, with the trifecta being Turkey. Flynn & associates conspired to kidnap a cleric and now Donnie is conspiring with Erdogan to ethnic cleanse the Kurds.
Before we lose all allies, especially the Kurds, it’s past time to 25th the 45th.

6So *that’s* how he plans to revive the coal industry.
7Thanks for that fabulous image, JJ.
8Publius Bolonius: thinking about the “illusion of safety” … we, like almost everyone have sliding glass doors leading outside. I was reminded by someone that a person bent on breaking in would not be daunted by the bar lowered to prevent the door from being opening. They would just break the glass, so you would end up missing whatever property you would have a broken door as well.
9@Linda Phipps, True dat! I saw a pic of the big, shiny, spiky, slatty wall and, within 28 seconds, had come up with 3 ways to defeat it. Ineffective much? It’s like none of these stable geniuses had ever heard of a portable plasma cutter. Beyond dense!
10Saw the Wall pix as well. There are at times really fierce winds along the border that can also gin up sand dunes. They also love blowing solid stuff down. When the top half is totally solid, the aerated bottom half of slats will go when the top half falls. And I am damn sure it will all blow over cuz I would bet my pocket lint that nobody realized how damn deep a foundation you have to build for something that high! And worse, if the soil is sand all the way down as much as the wall is high, don’t stand in its way when a good northbound wind picks up.
