Having just read what Trump said today about stopping testing, I am suggesting a new acronym:

"SARSF!" for "Stomping Around Room Screaming FUCK!"

Just a heads up: this evening, as your head hits the pillow and you are ready for "sleep that mends

the ravelled sleeve of care", you may be kept awake by a strange distant-yet-distinct noise. Just roll over, smile contentedly and surrender to the Sandman.

The noise is just the sobbing of countless conservatives as the reality and significance of today's 6-3 SCOTUS decision sinks in. Even the My Pillow guy's product can't muffle the wailing and gnashing of teeth.

G'night!

Well, now, Senator Cruz, I see where you're into challenging other men to fight other men. That's

not how it's usually done, dude. Usually, if one wants to "throw down the gauntlet", so to speak, and hope to intimidate another, they personalize it. As in "I, Raphael Cruz, challenge Mr. Perlman to a fight."

Childish? Of course. Silly? Absolutely. Nerdily out of touch? You betcha. But, IF you're going to get all "High Noon" about someone's tweet, that's how it's done.

And, since you favor picking on older prospective combatants, I am 71, have both osteo and rheumatoid arthritis, could stand to lose a few pounds and haven't been in a good dust-up for several years. But, please, Senator---no surrogates. If you won't put your own skin in the game, just sit down and shut up.

Decisions, decisions! The FDA and nearly every medical expert on the planet say that

neither chloroquine nor hydroxychloroquine do anything to counter Corona virus infection, but Trump says they could be "game changers" because he's "heard lots of good things" about them.

So, who ya gonna believe?

Forget the "slippery" ramp. Trump is ALWAYS walking "downhill". The creature's colossal

vanity requires him to wear shoes with two inch lifts so that he can sometimes appear to be six foot three.

This is why he always tilts forward when standing.

I am sure that he was genuinely concerned that he might tip over going down that ramp. But, he'll keep tottering around on his wedges and lying about his tonnage because six-three and 239 pounds sounds a lot better than six-one (maybe) and 275.

Jimi Hendrix, the book of Mathew and Rodney King

The older I get, the simpler things seem:

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace."---Jimi

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."---Mathew

"Why can't we all just get along?"---Rodney

Well, Mr. Trump, sir, we're just tickled to death out here in Tulsa that you are

going to honor us with your presence next week at one of your red, white and blue Make America Great Again rallies! Yes, sir, we're gonna pack that auditorium for you. We're gonna be shoulder to shoulder wall to wall and you can bet there won't be a single "snowflake mask" in sight. We know that all that pandemic nonsense is just a deep state Democrat plot to try to make you look bad and help Sleepy Joe's election prospects.

So, we hope you'll call their bluff about this virus hoax. Come down off the stage, sir, and "press the flesh" (if you know what I mean) with some of your most loyal followers. You could pose for some selfies with your arm on peoples' shoulders. Who knows? You just might get a few kisses from women who really admire you.

That would put an end to all that "wear a mask" kerfuffle. People would learn by your example that there just isn't anything to this Corona virus scare.

So, "come on down", sir! Show those snotty liberals what a real "man of the people" looks like!

While all the guys with green teeth have their tighty-used-to-be-whiteys in a twist about

the Confederate flag being banned by NASCAR and Congress moving to strip rebel names from US military bases, let's remind them of some facts.

Every man who wore the Confederate uniform and took up arms against the United States of America was a TRAITOR. Each was guilty of TREASON. After they were thoroughly defeated, it was only the generosity and civility of the North that kept their officers from bring hanged.

The specific "cornerstone" of the Confederacy was a renunciation of "all men are created equal" and the insistence that it was the white race's God-given right to own and enslave black people.

"Them's the facts". The "states' rights" tripe was---and is---a childishly transparent lie.
