I’m a huge fan of Ayn Rand, in particular her greatest work “Atlas Shrugged.”

But I’d never read her first major success, “The Fountainhead.” Still haven’t.

Instead, I cheated Saturday evening and watched the 1949 movie version of “The Fountainhead,” starring Gary Cooper as the iconoclastic architect protagonist Howard Roark.

It was time well-spent, particularly since the movie aired on the Turner Classic channel and was uninterrupted by commercials.

This was typical Rand fodder, a tale of the individualist succeeding against the collectivist society.

Roark’s court experience in the movie, and successful outlasting of a system arrayed against him on every level, was a precursor to the John Galt character of “Atlas Shrugged.”

Rand’s heroes were men who did not compromise their standards for the sake of expediency. They clung to beliefs even as those about them turned a blind eye to the ridiculous injustices of the societies in which these men lived – not indefinitely in the case of Galt.

Rand was an optimist, or perhaps more likely a wishful thinker, in writing and seemingly believing that rights of the individual would and should prevail in the long run over bastardized visions of socialists.

It is likely in 2022 that we could solve our energy crisis if only positive and negative poles could be attached to Rand’s coffin in order to generate electricity as she spins in her grave.

Each day evidence pours in that the collectivists, those who would sacrifice the rights of individuals on the altar of big governments and corporate control, are winning.

Consider:

Dutch farmers protesting arbitrary limits on nitrogen and animal herds by environmental extremists in the European bureaucracy have gotten company in the form of farmers in Italy, Spain and Poland taking to the streets. The message of Italian farmers is “We are not slaves, we are farmers!” But bet on those greenie bureaucrats in the long run, despite their obvious insanity.

Clueless Joe Biden went to Saudi Arabia, neatly forgetting his vow to make that kingdom a pariah state. Joe was there to exchange first bumps and plea for greater oil production, hoping desperately to lower energy costs and stem a mid-term election wipeout for his fellow leftists. The Saudis will pump more oil. Can you say strange bedfellows?

Nancy Pelosi has another conflict of interest. Even as the Speaker of the House pushes legislation, $50 billion for computer chip manufacturers, she just happened to purchase $8 million of Nvidia stock. What does Nvidia manufacture? Computer chips. Hmmmmm.

Other examples are numerous.

Oil sales from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve to a Chinese firm with former ties to Hunter Biden have been reported.

Despite ongoing insistence that all COVID-19 vaccines are safe, an online source maintained by the Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control has more than 1.3 million reports of vaccine complications and 29,000 deaths.

Governmental scaremongers are desperately trying to drum up panic over new COVID strains, not to mention Monkeypox. Lockdowns, here we come.

It all has the stench of collectivists trying to break down individual freedoms and choice while manipulating public opinion.

Roark and Galt would have resisted. Will enough Americans follow their lead to make a difference? Doubtful.

I got back from an early evening cruise in the Mustang convertible to read that AOC, the left’s favorite bartender turned Congresswoman, is outraged yet again and has rushed to social media – megaphone for morons — to express that.

AOC, you may recall, is the person who claimed trauma and fear for her life due to enduring the Jan. 6 protests, even though she was not present in the Capitol building at the time.

More recently, earlier this very month, AOC showed up on social media to revel in pro-abortion protesters driving Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh from a Washington, D.C., restaurant.

Like many of her fellow leftist loonies, AOC thinks conservatives, or anyone who doesn’t toe the socialist party line, must be harassed in public or at their homes by protesters, just because. Acts of violence by these “protesters” hasn’t exactly been discouraged by the leftist agitators.

Fast-forward to yesterday, when AOC trotted out the victim trope in social media posts about a “deeply disgusting incident.”

What was this incident? Glad you asked. A conservative comedian videotaped AOC walking up Capitol steps, praised her for being his favorite “big booty Latina,” and noted that even though she wants to kill babies, she is beautiful.

AOC’s response was to walk toward the guy, who was standing on the other side of the broad steps. In video of the “deeply disgusting incident” AOC takes a few strides toward the guy, flashes him the peace sign and says something unintelligible – the last being pretty much standard operating procedure for her.

After the fact, AOC shared on social media that she was “walking over to deck him,” ostensibly because Capitol police didn’t do so, or maybe because they didn’t shoot this unarmed protester as they had Ashli Babbitt on Jan. 6, 2021.

I think of AOC and I am reminded of a line by former Washington Capitals’ coach Jim Schoenfeld following a 1996 Stanley Cup playoff game with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Penguins coach Eddie Johnston was complaining afterward about rough play, as Penguins coaches had a habit of doing, accusing Schoenfeld of sending goons onto the ice to instigate trouble near game’s end.

Schoenfeld pointed out that he had three of his star players on the ice, a fact that flew in the face of Johnston’s charge. Then Schoenfeld said: “I don’t know what color the moon is on Eddie’s planet.”

Schoenfeld and his moon line come to mind often as leftist Democrats spew hypocritical propaganda with little shame and absolutely no regard for the facts. Intellectual honesty is a foreign concept to them.

Indeed, what color is the moon on AOC’s planet?

The neighbor got into her SUV today looking to do some grocery shopping, but it wouldn’t start.

Her crime was having gone two weeks or so without driving said vehicle due to her back problems. This no-drive period is what the service guy who showed up to jump-start the vehicle blamed for the problem, ironically just after I’d gotten done telling the woman the very same thing.

I have read of late that all those electronic nannies on modern vehicles need power even when the car isn’t running to keep them happy. Let the car sit long enough without running it to recharge the battery, and all those parasitic current drains add up to not enough juice remaining in the battery to start the vehicle.

The example of the neighbor’s ride failing is but a metaphor for how the digital age, despite all its promise and helpfulness, also exacts a price.

Just today investing markets were roiled by a supposed early leak of the Consumer Price Index for June, which is scheduled to be released tomorrow (Wednesday). This alleged leak showed a 1.7 percent rise for June, which if you multiply by 12, gives us a projected annual rate of more than 20 percent.

Bonds, stocks, precious metals all sold off because of the presumption that such inflation news would lead to an even faster pace of hiking of interest rates by the Federal Reserve.

It turns out the release was bogus, not that tomorrow’s actual release cannot be as bad, or nearly so. What mattered was that in this digital age of instant information, fake news spreads with lightning speed.

It’s the realization of Winston Churchill’s hyperbolic line: “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.”

When the falsehood genie is out the bottle, good luck stuffing it back into the receptacle.

The internet and social media in particular make it much easier for leftist criminal element protesters to organize their mischief. Not so for right-wing troublemakers, because they are banned from such outlets.

The internet and social media also make it much easier to track and potentially do harm – physical or financial – to the morons who so freely post personal information in the form of digital bragging.

Even poor Hunter Biden is a victim of the digital age, first leaving his incriminating laptop with a repair guy, and just in the past few days having his data that he’d uploaded to the “cloud” hacked.

Yes, the “cloud,” the harmless sounding name for digital ether, is neither white and fluffy, nor harmless.

Think the cryptocurrency types who have had their coins looted from digital banks or wallets wouldn’t like to return to a time when a criminal either had to meet up with you personally or break into your home or bank physically to steal your money – money that at least was not lost to you in the last example?

Our digital banking wonders also have made it easier for fraudsters to operate on individuals, banks or other businesses, extracting traditional money from accounts without personal interaction.

Rather than being cautious about privacy and security being sacrificed to the promise of digital comfort and convenience, individuals willingly are ceding more and more control of their lives to ones and zeroes.

While today’s CPI “leak” most likely was fake, just as disingenuous were attempts by the Biden regime to get ahead of tomorrow’s anticipated high actual number.

These regime mouthpieces (there wasn’t time to provide Clueless Joe with a detailed cheat sheet on what to say) were citing rising food and energy costs as the main culprits and speculating such price rises have peaked.

Two things: First, if the inflation numbers were rising based on people booking trips to Mars or buying $1 million homes, it would be fair to dismiss those increases as unimportant. But last time I checked, all people, rich or poor, eat food and consume energy, so if those prices are both up big, it really puts the hurt on those in the lower economic strata.

Second, even if the rate of increase has peaked, that only helps if you are comfortable paying current prices. A peak in rise is not the same as a decline in prices, either sharp or gradual.

Brace yourself for bad CPI news Wednesday, along with efforts on digital sources such as social media and the internet, to convince you that despite it all things are great.

Oh, and make sure to start and drive your car at least once a week.

It seems to me that the bumbling administration of Clueless Joe Biden and his Democratic cohorts would fit well in a Wizard of Oz remake.

In our revisiting of the classic tale, the role of Dorothy, who eventually awakens to the reality that it’s all been just a strange dream, will be played by departed White House PR flack DisinJENuous Psaki.

The Wicked Witch of the West is an easy selection, with that role going to stock market trading genius and part-time Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

Pelosi’s family gets to double dip in Oz II. Judy Garland, who played Dorothy in the original movie, once in an interview characterized the little people who played Munchkins as “drunks” in real life. Considering the DUI arrest credentials of Pelosi’s husband, cut a foot out of each of his legs and we have our lead Munchkin for the remake.

The Good Witch of the North is House Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is willing to say what is on her mind no matter the blowback from social media typewriter jockeys.

Clueless Joe Biden will be the Scarecrow in a tour de force of typecasting. “If I only had a brain.”

There are lots of candidates for the Cowardly Lion, but give the nod to U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff, who manages to screw up courage only when he’s part of a mockery masquerading as a Congressional committee.

Our Tin Man in search of a heart will be Senate bloviator Chuck Schumer.

Professor Marvel, the sketchy fortuneteller from the movie, can be Fed chair Jerome Powell, who famously insisted that inflation was “transitory” and now finds himself having to jerk up interest rates and kill the economy and investment markets in an attempt to rein in that inflation that was supposed to be short-lived.

The Yellow Brick Road is any path, literal or figurative, that Hunter Biden travels to take advantage of his dad’s political influence.

The Emerald City is of course Washington, D.C., where green in the form of money is handed out quite cynically to buy votes and fund fringe causes that can’t exist on their own merits.

The winged monkeys conjured up the Wicked Witch of the West to harass Dorothy and her companions are any of the propagandists masquerading as journalists who do their best to prop up Democrats and pillory Republicans.

In the original film, the Wizard of Oz was a pathetically small man behind the curtain who pulled levers and used a sound system to come off as larger than life. In our remake, that character will be the man or woman who operates Biden’s teleprompter, without which — or even with which — Biden can’t make a coherent speech.

Roll film!

You say you are fed up with the irrationality of present-day life?

Would you like to return to a time when production was rewarded and special-interest groups were not lionized and subsidized simply for being out of step with traditional thinking?

Are you weary of the muddying of basic truths such as right or wrong, good or evil?

Hope may be on the way, Bunky.

I credit my cousin for inspiring this blog post. During a phone call last night, he mentioned seeing a television show warning of artificial intelligence and its potential effect on us humans.

Artificial intelligence falls into four categories. We currently have Reactive AI, in which computers are programmed and respond the same way each time to identical input. Chess playing programs are an example.

Next up the AI ladder is Limited Memory AI, in which programming is supplemented by real-world input. Think of self-driving cars and their many foibles as an example of how imperfect this AI is to date in real-world situations.

Not yet on the table are the final two examples — Theory of Mind AI and Self-Aware AI.

With Theory of Mind, decision making by the digital mind means recognizing and including human-like emotions.

With the last, Self-Aware, needs, wants and emotions enter the picture and make the Self-Aware AI entity more humanlike, although operating at a much higher level of intellect.

Brilliant minds such as Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk and various AI experts went on the record with an open letter in 2015 warning that AI, for all its potential benefits, must always be kept under the control of humans, lest humans become unnecessary and deemed to be candidates to be eliminated from the equation.

The standard thinking by the non-enlightened has been that we humans can always shut off the AI machinery, be it in stand-alone computers or deployed in machines such as robots or vehicles.

But wouldn’t you think that all-knowing AI would be ready for that and take measures to prevent us from pulling the metaphorical plug?

To date, this is the stuff of science fiction movies. But might we live to see the human race trying to co-exist with AI? I’m thinking that is so.

For all the worries about a potential dystopian future for humans, who would plod along in servitude to superior AI beings, my cousin came up with a potential bright spot.

Assuming that the AI entities are supremely logical, they likely would come down hard on unproductive, highly disruptive far-left types.

It’s hard to imagine AI logic agreeing that decreasing food or fuel output by government decrees is beneficial to humankind, as so many socialist Democrats seem to believe.

Similarly, I’m thinking an AI unit might deem leeches such as Hunter Biden and his non-productive ilk as expendable. Worker bees in government bureaucracies designed to hamstring business and industry, look out!

So, too, pompous college professors and public school teachers who believe their main task is to indoctrinate politically instead of teaching, would seem to have little to offer a logical world ruled by AI.

The AI approach to gender confusion, race-baiting and poverty pimping likely would be that we need none of these.

Politicians in general likely would not be thought of favorably by a truly self-aware AI entity.

If the rise of Artificial Intelligence holds out promise of returning logic to the world, I’m all for it.

If that AI experiment runs away and devolves into totalitarian control of the masses, well, aren’t we already headed down that path with human despots operating under the guise of government?

And at least an AI president presumably could ride a bike and wouldn’t need a cheat sheet to tell it how to enter a room, sit down in a chair and talk to the audience.

While Clueless Joe Biden laments 9mm handguns that he claims vaporize the lungs of those shot with the weapons, and campaigns to put the clamps on legal gun owners in general, Dutch farmers are upping the armament ante in their anti-government protests.

These farmer protesters are aggrieved by their government going environmentalist wacko and looking to limit nitrogen in fertilizers, thereby reducing the effectiveness of those fertilizers, and putting an estimated 30 percent of the farms in The Netherlands out of business.

The government also wants substantial reductions of farm animal herds because of their manure emitting nitrogen oxides – the stink in manure.

Farmers have been using tractors in their protests, blocking food distribution centers to bring attention to their plight.

In predictable fashion, in at least one instance police fired on a farmer in his tractor.

The Dutch farmers have a response. An online video showed a military tank (reportedly of World War II vintage) rumbling off a flatbed trailer and down a road, supposedly to block a distribution center and be impervious to trigger-happy police.

There must be a lot of Bidens running things in The Netherlands, the kind of people who think you can shut down producers without any effect on supply and prices.

Clueless Joe has tried that with energy, attempting to regulate fossil fuel producers into oblivion and then being stunned by rapidly rising energy costs.

Now the Clueless One blames Putin and implores the domestic energy companies to reduce their prices, which anyone with a passing acquaintance with Econ 101 knows would only create artificial demand and shortages.

The way to lower prices in the traditionally effective way economically would be to increase supply with further exploration and production. Then prices would fall.

But that would alienate all Clueless Joe’s socialist greenies, so he can’t/won’t do that.

I await Dutch bureaucrats first blaming Putin for food shortages or soaring prices — just because — and then urging farmers magically to produce more food with fewer farms and animals and less fertilizer.

Food prices will skyrocket in The Netherlands if the farmers are hamstrung legislatively, and the firms providing food to the population will be cast as the bad guys for charging more.

I happened to catch an old political clip today. As far back as 1964 Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater was warning that it was time for the people to put the government back in the role of servant, not master.

All these years later, that has not been accomplished. To the contrary, our government, staffed with unelected, all-powerful bureaucrats, is running more roughshod over the people than in the days of King George.

Recent Supreme Court decisions have tried to rein in that, but it is too little, too late.

What’s going on in The Netherlands needs to come soon to a town near you for overreaching government here to get the message.

Just yesterday in this space we wondered if Biden voters were honest enough to feel buyers’ remorse, having elected a man seemingly destined to go down in history as among the worst and least-qualified ever to hold the office of the presidency.

That was written early in the day. By days’ end, anecdotal evidence had rolled in that Biden voters either see no problem and are ready, willing and able to double down on their support of the cognitively impaired one, or they in general see Republicans as inherently evil and Biden as merely an unfortunate victim of events that have made him look bad in office.

I find it telling, though, that the latter crew doesn’t want Biden back for a second term.

Example one: While at a picnic (NOT FOR A COUSIN’S BIRTHDAY, ALTHOUGH WE DID END UP SINGING TO HIM!) a typical liberal type was there, picking verbally at a conservative. I took advantage of the opening to pose my Biden voter buyers’ remorse question.

No, the man does not regret his choice. Instead, he is pleased with Biden’s performance. All is well. He’d vote for him again. And again and again and again as was the case with many “voters” in the past presidential election.

This Biden voter (apologist) was unswayed by raging inflation, investment markets plumbing historic lows for the first six months of a year (worst since 1970 in the case of stocks, worst since 1788 in the case of long-term government bonds), the botched Afghanistan exit and all the other failures already in the Biden regime’s run.

Showing his intellectual depth, this guy said Biden, for all those problems, still was better than Trump. Trump would be the president who presided over strong investment markets, modest inflation, energy independence for the United States, and zero adventurism by Russians or Chinese.

Yeah, Biden’s much better than Trump.

But this man suffering from partisan blindness regarding Biden is far from alone among the masses.

Example two: The local Democratic propaganda organ “newspaper” ran not one, but two letters to the Readers’ Forum on the day of my previous blog post.

The first claimed to be an independent voter, which is code for a liberal who loves to flaunt independent status, but votes straight Democratic in every election.

Ask the next independent you encounter, or Democrat for that matter, to name the last Republican candidate for whom they voted. You will hear crickets.

Meanwhile, a Neanderthal Republican like me can tick off voting for a Democrat for county commissioner most recently, and through the years voting for a Democrat for governor and U.S. House, among others.

I also have withheld votes for disappointing Republicans such as Arlen Specter and Pat Toomey, who walked and squawked more like Democrats.

I did not vote for carpetbagger Republican senatorial candidate Dr. Oz in the past primary, and will not vote for him in the general election.

But our “Independent” letter writer spewed anti-Trump sentiment and also had a lengthy list of politicians with whom he disagreed. Curiously, all are Republicans.

This man also is for gun control, although he made sure to mention he owns “a few guns” and is a former military man.

Allow me to remind that formerly being in the military does not equate to automatic sainthood. Some notable examples: Presidential assassin Lee Harvey Oswald was an ex-Marine. Adolf Hitler served in the Bavarian Army. William Calley of My Lai massacre infamy also was a military man.

This writer admitted to being “not really thrilled” with Biden and feared Republicans could win the presidency in 2024, which he seemed to equate with the nation losing its democracy.

Such an independent and confused thinker!

Another writer, a familiar name who bores the masses with his political missives as frequently as the paper’s reader-submission limits allow, presented a laundry list of Biden shortcomings, but attributed them to failures of others or simply to bad luck.

Biden is painted as a latter-day Job of Biblical note and for all the failures on his watch, Biden is portrayed as a good guy because ostensibly he still goes to church regularly. Does Biden’s staff give him a crib sheet, a la his press conferences, telling him to enter the church, sit down in a pew, look at the pulpit?

But even this Biden supporter wished out loud that Biden not run for re-election in 2024 and instead yield to a younger more vibrant candidate, which would mean almost anyone still on the right side of the grass.

To sum up the last letter: Biden’s doing a great job, but I sure hope he doesn’t run again.

Maybe the reality is sinking in for some.

By now I’d like to think Biden voters are suffering from crippling buyers’ remorse.

Not that they’d admit it publicly, of course. But deep in their lost souls they must be thinking they made a terrible mistake.

Can they really be comfortable with $5-a-gallon-gas, not to mention runaway prices in various other necessities such as housing and food?

Can they ignore the decline in their investments as the policies of the Biden regime have tanked stock and bond prices at the same time? Stocks suffered their worse first half of a year since 1970. Government bonds of 10-year duration haven’t begun a year this poorly since . . . 1788!

Can they be pleased now that it seems likely when measures of the economic quarter that ended June 30 come out they will show the nation to be in a recession as defined by consecutive quarters of contraction?

Can they feel good about the ham-handed foreign policy that has us on the brink of an ongoing proxy war with a nuclear power turning into a full-on, face-to-face confrontation?

Can they accept the open-border policy that has produced crisis in the form of massive deaths due to human traffickers?

The list could continue, but you get the point.

Ronald Reagan famously asked the electorate in 1980 if the voters believed they were better off than they had been four years earlier, when they elected Jimmy Carter?

The answer, as provided by Reagan’s landslide victory, was a resounding no,

In many ways our current situation is much worse than in 1980. For all his leadership weakness, Carter was at heart a decent and honorable man. It’s hard to argue the same for Biden.

Carter’s mental acuity was, and seems to still be, superior to that of Biden.

The nation in 1980 was suffering from the newly coined term stagflation, meaning a witches’ brew of inflation and economic stagnation, but still had relatively low debt both private and public and so had resources to deal with the problem. That is not the case today.

In 1980 the nation had yet to be balkanized into hard-core tribes divided by politics, religion, sexual orientation, race or whatever convenient wedge progressives use to foment unrest.

Maybe you are better off than before Biden took office, but I am not and I have a lot of company,.

Biden voters, and those gifted vote counters who conspired to place this human-sized vegetable in the Oval Office, are as daft as Biden if they cannot concede, at least to themselves, that their man is an ongoing train wreck of a president.

American writer and humorist Mark Twain was not big on statistics, lumping them in with lies and damned lies in a list of falsehoods.

And, admittedly, statistics – particularly averages or percentages – can mislead.

Consider a very small country with just two people, one of whom earns $999,999 a year and the other earning a mere $1 a year.

A statistical type could mislead by quoting the nation’s average income at $500,000, which while correct doesn’t paint an accurate picture of income distribution.

Similarly, beware of fastest-growing claims. A pathetically small business netting $1 a year, clears $2 the next year and might trumpet a 100 percent gain in profits.

Meanwhile, a company clearing $100 billion a year goes to $101 billion the next and can only claim a one percent increase.

But which company is truly experiencing more growth?

It is up to the individual consuming the statistics to make the call on their significance and be enlightened enough to dig beneath the surface.

Democrats of late don’t even bother to massage statistics to make their cases, instead just flat-out misstating facts.

The January 6 committee, already a comedic exercise in political spin under the guise of serious investigation, trotted out a star witness who immediately has come under fire for playing fast and loose with the truth.

What this witness testified to was what someone allegedly told her about Donald Trump lunging to take the wheel of his limo and demanding to be taken to the Jan. 6 demonstration.

I doubt this is physically possible considering the layout of such conveyances. I lump it in with the nonsensical report that a fellow Penn State beat writer once made about Joe Paterno allegedly leaping from his car to confront a woman who had run a stop sign on campus.

The major problem with this “news” was that Paterno was nursing a broken leg at the time and needed a lengthy period of time to exit his car – I had witnessed this on several occasions personally.

To allege that he leaped from his car was a bad start to the story and cast serious doubt on anything that followed, sort of like Trump supposedly lunging to take the wheel of the limo.

Beyond the obvious physical doubts that this occurred, there also is the matter of him being the President at the time and able simply to order the people to convey him to the demonstration if that was his desire.

Continuing on Trump and the Jan. 6 star witness, even if this underling was accurate, her testimony almost never would be allowed in any court of law because it was hearsay. One can’t testify to things described to them by another.

It makes sense since even eye witnesses often provide conflicting reports of incidents due to stress and various human frailties.

When the “eye-witness” report comes secondhand, the problems multiply.

But the Jan. 6 clowns have an even bigger problem with their star witness. Various people, including legitimate reporters from such outlets as NBC, not exactly a Trump fanboy base, are reporting that those in the presidential limo are willing to testify under oath that none of this happened.

Do not expect the Jan. 6 committee, in its search for truth, to call any of those first-hand witnesses.

The star witness that the Jan. 6 committee lynch mob was only too glad to hear also is reported to have claimed authorship of a note that another says he wrote.

Credibility? She has zero, except to a bunch of partisan hacks on another witch hunt.

Back in my days as a journalist, I told people who tried to mislead me that it irked me on two levels: 1. That they fibbed and 2. That they thought I was stupid enough to run with it.

I made it my business to expose their chicanery to the readership. I still remember a note left for me by the daylight news assistant in sports, one of those pink forms saying that a news source had called at 10 a.m. or some such time to complain about a story I’d written and left the following message: Thanks for making me look like an asshole.

The guy got a callback immediately from me, pointing out to him that he’d made himself look like an asshole by trying to play me for a sucker. I’d just made sure to expose him as a liar to a much wider audience. I also told him if he ever tried to mislead me again, he’d get more public exposure.

To his credit, as far as I know he got the message and was honest with me going forward.

I can only dream of a time when the American people become fed up with being lied to, regardless of the source, and begin to exact revenge on the liars.

It must be so easy to be a Leftist Democrat.

Just kick your brain out of gear, regurgitate one-size-fits-all talking points, chant vapid and insipid mantras and generally whine when things don’t go your way.

Also be sure to be hypocritical to the bone – as in we do it and it’s OK, you do it and it’s heinous beyond words

Of late the political zombies murmur insurrection or Russia incessantly.

Dare we turn the tables on them? Why yes, we can.

Maxine Waters, the intellectually challenged Democratic member of the U.S. House from California, reacted to the Supreme Court decision on abortion with “To Hell with the Supreme Court! We will defy them!”

Insurrection. Insurrection. Insurrection.

Here was a member of the government calling for rebellion and outright refusal to follow the law. She’s gone far beyond anything Donald Trump is alleged to have done to spark the Jan. 6 protests.

Throw bartender-turned-congresswoman AOC into that Waters insurrection pot. ‘Twas AOC who took to the microphone at a protest to call the court’s abortion decision “Illegitimate.”

Actually, AOC, most of the babies aborted would fall under that illegitimate label, the product of loose sexual conduct and morning after regret.

Insurrection. Insurrection. Insurrection.

When might we expect the made-for-TV house committee inquiry into the words of these two loose cannons? Maybe if and when the House flips in mid-term elections?

Meanwhile, on the Russia, Russia, Russia front, the Washington Examiner (D.C.’s newspaper that actually practices investigative journalism when Democrats might be implicated) comes out with a story of how Clueless Joe Biden was sending money to son Hunter at a time when Hunter needed dough to cover costs for using “escorts” with Russian connections.

Russia. Russia. Russia. Clueless Joe is in Putin’s pocket.

Hunter’s laptop from Hell just keeps giving to all who see through the curtain of Democratic hypocrisy.

And then there is Chicago mayor Lori Light(weight)foot plumbing the depths of her intellectual ability at a Pride gathering by screaming “pluck (actually the F-word that rhymes with pluck) Clarence Thomas” as a critique of the Supreme Court’s abortion decision.

If Lightweight actually could make that happen, at least Thomas would not need an abortion to deal with the consequences.

Meanwhile, Nancy “Marie Antoinette” Pelosi, was caught giving a solid hip check to the daughter of a newly elected Republican member of the U.S. House during a swearing-in ceremony.

Social media outrage from the political right ensued.

Pelosi’s staff swung into action, explaining that Pelosi shoved the child aside so the girl could be seen better. Yeah, that makes sense (sarcasm!).

Meanwhile, Pelosi or her staff won’t comment on the DUI arrest of Pelosi’s husband, calling that a personal matter.

Insurrection, Insurrection. Insurrection? Or Russia. Russia. Russia? Perhaps Hypocrisy. Hypocrisy. Hypocrisy?

More like Botox. Botox. Botox — leaking into the brain of Marie Antoinette.
