The saying goes that any kind of publicity is good. Doesn't matter if it's positive or negative. That is the adage that Trump lives by and he was just handed, on silver platter, days and days of undivided attention. Which of course also resulted in millions of dollars flowing into his bank account.
He made sure his big 747 was shown taking off from Florida then landing in New York at Laguardia. No way he was taking the small plane to land at obscure Teterboro. Then he made sure to wave going into Trump tower. No garage entrance for him. Today he is milking every second of publicity for all its worth.
The whole raison d'etre of this exercise is to make sure he can't run for president. But if these charges don't stick, or they take years to get through the courts - then they not only handed him the election, they made him into a martyr.
Whatever the case, Trump is the only thing being talked about in the news cycle and it has been so since this indictment dropped last week. What are these people thinking?
Now for the charges: The indictment against Trump alleges that he sought to undermine the integrity of the 2016 election. But it seems that all 34 allegations are variations of the same thing.
One of the big issues is that the statute of limitations has expired on these charges both state and federal.
Right now it looks like Trump is going to benefit from having charges brought against him as they are simply not going to stick.
If you think you saw a lot of Trump in the past week, hold on to your hat. You ain't seen nothin yet.
Blanche, what is the definition of a woman? Believe it or not, the newly elected Prime Minister of New Zealand, Chris Hipkins could not answer this question when posed by a reporter. Buddy - it's not rocket science.
Hipkins (now that's a name) said he found it very difficult to define the term 'woman' because the reporter's question about gender caught him off guard. What? Define what is a woman has rendered you off guard? Welcome to the absurd world of woke.
His response: "Um, to be honest that question has come out of left field for me.' Seriously? This is a question that you need to study for? Like you need to study for a urine test?
To make himself look like an even bigger dufus, he went on to say that he was not expecting the question and did not have a pre-formulated answer but reiterated that gender identity is decided by a person. Oh really?
So when someone is born a girl they should be asked to decide later in life if they really are a girl? No. She is a she. She is a little girl then a teenage girl, then a woman. How easy was that? We have no words for this idiocy.
Wait. There's more woke bs. Bud Light Beer, owned by Anheuser-Busch, has confirmed a brand partnership with 'trans-identifying' activist Dylan Mulvaney.
It appears that Mulvaney has no less than 10 million followers on Tik Tok. She/he or maybe he/she recently posted a video dressed like Audrey Hepburn’s character in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” while drinking Bud Light.
In this case, not everybody is so happy with the beer company. Bud Light made a mockery of women by partnering with Dylan Mulvaney — a biological male who makes a living exploiting what it means to be a woman,
As one beer-drinker said, “We can’t even drink beer in America anymore without woke politics being involved.”
In the follow the money department, Mulvaney is a shrewd operator. He/she or she/he has partnered with multiple national brands for advertising campaigns on social media, including KitchenAid, Kind Snacks, wedding dress brand ASOS, Native, MAC Cosmetics, and others. Follow the money.
Seems the liberal party in quebec finally realized that voting with the caq against the english community here didn't win them any popularity contests. What a revelation.
We are referring to that brilliant liberal David Birnbaum (he has since disappeared into the night) who added to bill 96 suggesting that students trying to get into university have to pass three extra french exams. That was beyond a dazzling move.
So now the party has hired some political pundits to go around the province and see what people want from the liberal party.
One minute. They can't figure out who they are? Do they need crumbs like Hansel and Gretel to find their way back to their roots?
We'll help them out. Are you a separatist party or not? If not, why did you add to the caq's bill 96 that basically suffocated the english community?
Do you not see that there are not enough nurses and doctors in the province? Why didn't you open your mouths when the czar legault nixed Dawson's initiative to educate said people and churn out those much needed nurses?
Why would you pick a black woman as a leader in quebec when it is very well known that outside of Montreal being black is the last thing on the list to get you elected?
Instead of going back to basics, they are going to run around like chickens without a head trying to figure out who they are. Go back to your constitution and read it. Then follow it. Otherwise we are doomed with the czar legault indefinitely.
The women's Australian Women's classic took place recently and the winner was someone by the name of Breanna Gill. Turns out - punkt - Gill is yet another transgender he/she. In other words she was a he and is now a she and she won the tournament.
What is interesting about this story is that Australia has turned off all tweets about he/she.
The WPGA Tour of Australia tweeted to congratulate the winner of this weekend's tournament. But then they turned off replies when users pointed out the winner was actually a biological man. What's up with that?
As one person tweeted: Sir, Sir, Sir, you beat a bunch of women. WOW. Exactly.
So Blanche, how happy are you paying your extra 4 cents per litre of gas here in Canada to save the world? You can thank Justin for that.
Regarding the idiotic bag ban, we had occasion to shop in the US recently. At the cash we were asked how many bags do we need? 2, 3, 4, 5? As many as we would like.
Here? We went shopping at an unnamed store and the cashier, surreptitiously looking over her shoulder in case the bag police were nearby, leaned under the counter and gave us the dreaded and illegal bag to carry our tomatoes, onions, potatoes and. cucumbers.
There are no words as to how idiotic this is. None.
Please note that Blanche will return on Monday of next week due to Passover and Shabbat.
Happy Passover.
We'll talk...
