There's a new podcast (we think "oddcast" would be a more appropriate name) in which regular old American millionaires Bruce Springsteen and Barack Obama sit around and talk about why our country sucks.
As part of the discussion, Barry recalled a time in middle school when he quarreled with a young friend who called him a "coon," after which "I popped him in the face and broke his nose." To which Springsteen responded "Well done," because busting someone's nose is absolutely the right response if they call you something offensive like, oh, a Nazi or racist.
Recounting the event, Barry said, "Now first of all, ain't no coons in Hawaii." Which, we believe, was the b-side to Don Ho's recording of "Tiny Bubbles." Although in fairness, maybe it was just the remembered trauma that suddenly triggered Obama to start communicating in dialect, saying that racial hate speech is used on people for "taking advantage of 'em, cheatin' 'em, stealin' from 'em, killin' 'em, raping 'em." Seriously, he sounded like a psychotic Bubba Gump listing shrimp recipes from Hell.
But did the incident ever really take place or, like Barry's imaginary "composite girlfriend" in college, is this just another self-serving lie? And, more importantly, why do we keep making rhetorical questions out of things that are painfully obvious?
IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING
For the first time in 87 years (back when Joe Biden was only a teenager), there has been no State of the Union Address given in January or February. Which likely can be ascribed to Joe's busy, busy, busy "Black History Month" schedule and putting kids in cages rather than, oh, his increasing tendency to stammer, mangle words, and stare into space.
Mainstream media outlets are trying to cover for ol' Joe by saying that the last six Presidents didn't give a State of the Union Address during their inaugural years. Less publicized is the fact that all six of those Presidents did give a State of the Union speech (which is apparently much, much different than an "address") to a joint session of Congress during either January or February of their inaugural year.
But precedents, like election laws, were made to be broken. Which is why it will probably still be a few months before we get a State of the Union Address...from President Harris.
There's already ground work being laid to excuse him from having to do a SOTU speech. "Authorities" are claiming there are threats of another "attack" on the Capital so it will be too dangerous. The depth of BS is phenomenal.
ReplyDeleteIndeed,the obfuscation is deep and wide.
DeleteSo what's wrong with doing a SOTU address from the Oval Office? Easy enough to hide the strings and wires from the camera there...
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Stilt. "Chinese" Joe is just bidin' his time!
ReplyDeleteReally? Someone in Hawai'i called him a "coon"? In "middle school"? I grew up in Hawai'i in the same time frame -- I'm just a few years older than him -- and I can tell you "coon" was not exactly a known term there. In fact, I probably wouldn't have recognized that someone was trying to issue an insult thereby. (Well, tone of voice might have clued me in, but not vocabulary per se.) And I'm curious, Stilt -- did Obama actually use the phrase "middle school," or is that your own interpolation? If he used that term, I call shibai on him. We didn't go to "middle school.". In Hawai'i we went to elementary, then intermediate, then high school.
ReplyDeleteWell, he went to Punahou -- an elite school -- maybe those "elite" kids were more versatile in terms of derogatory language than us maka'ainana.
I remember a video of him in a hotel gym, struggling to lift some small weights. No way those chicken wings could ever break a nose.
ReplyDeleteWho could possibly cast aspersions on the word of two such elite-educated macho guys. You know, someone who was “born in the USA” (wink, wink). Geez, guys, it was probably a transfer student from Alabama.
ReplyDeleteI read that Springsteen had his charges dropped by a Federal Judge. Since when is reckless driving and impaired (drunk)driving a Federal offense? Must be nice to have friends in high places.
ReplyDelete"Pelvis thrust!", that's priceless, and most likely true. (I guess the SS will be visiting both of us now). Who's Springsteen?
ReplyDeleteI'm not bothered by this stuff. I'm far more concerned about Mr. Potatohead. But then with some ladies a moustache is after all: Optional. My Mr. Potatohead had no head; we used a real potato. Then after he had a face & maybe a personality for little while, we ate it. There has to something very wrong about that. I'm damaged goods; Where were the Progressives THEN?
ReplyDeletebody language ----they do not trust each other Bamma is scared, Bruce is worried bamma will punch him
ReplyDeleteI can save him the trouble. The state of the union is a big turd being flushed down the toilet, with a plunger following up to clear the clog.
ReplyDelete@Anon: Yeah, arms crossed is a classic defensive posture. Why are they scared, I wonder, I wonder?
ReplyDeleteStilton, thank you for watching that podcast so that I didn't have to. Not that would have under anything short of massive torture. Or forced to watch AOC for the same length of time. I can only imagine the suffering during such a traumatic event, no doubt requiring significant quantities of Clan McGregor.
ReplyDeleteThe toughest thing about Obozo is fathoming the depth of his Marxist foundations.
As far as the SOTU address is concerned, Bitme is still wandering in a State of Confusion. It may be awhile before he decides which Union he wants to address. The Teacher's and Pipe fitters unions seem to be disappointed in him. With the price of fuel going up the Teamsters won't be too happy either. Perhaps he'll just stay in the WH basement and mumble to himself. It's safer that way.
Bruce: Barry, got your ticket yet?
ReplyDeleteBarry: Ticket to what?
Bruce: The Gun Show. Check out my cannons.
Barry: Michelle has howitzers.
@Snark,
ReplyDeleteNOW I know why there was no SOTU address!
Joe's in the State of Confusion, and the Enemedia didn't want to televise that!!
I heard some bits-n-pieces of the Bruce & Barack show yesterday while spending quality time with satellite radio on the highway. There's nothing like learning about America by a couple of phonies who are worth at least a billion. Wow, has America been awful to these two or what?
ReplyDeleteBut it's good to get the affirmation from America's first woke President that violence is the answer, at least when it conforms to the Progressive narrative. But seriously, if Obama is the brilliant healer he's always been marketed as being, then why even tell that kind of story? Was it to state that certain violence is okay, or was it simply just his ego on another trip of self aggrandizement?
He also took the opportunity to advocate for reparations. What he didn't adequately explain was why during the 8 years he was the most powerful man on the planet he didn't fight for it. He's literally Monday morning quarterbacking himself.
Also not answered: Why a guy who had a white mother, a father who had no familiar history with slavery in America, and was raised by affluent white grandparents and today gets paid millions of dollars for just showing up is entitled to "reparations".
Even Democrats now admit that Biden is not fit for office:
Nearly three dozen House Democrats on Monday called on Biden to relinquish his sole authority to launch nuclear weapons, in the latest appeal to reform the command-and-control structure so that no single person can initiate a nuclear war
Pelosi sent a demand, signed by the House Dems, to Biden. She wants him to hand over the nuclear football to her. Because, obviously, the Speaker of the House is in charge of the nation's military.
ReplyDeleteIowahawk addressed the potatohead situation well:

@Mr. Econ, it's pretty obvious to me the 25th Amendment push to install Kamel Toes is underway. If Democrats are reluctant to let this addled president have control of the "button," it seems the natural thing to do is to remove him. That was the plan all along anyway.
ReplyDeleteKamel Toes may not have dementia but that laughing hyena certainly is dumb as a box of rocks. Any questions directed to her regarding policy are met with a "we need to" do whatever speech. Basically a campaign slogan. We all know who is running the show anyway, the scrawny tough guy who breaks noses when insulted.
@Shelly -- Yup. Carmella's dumb as a box of rocks. Maybe having her elevate to the Presidency is MaligNancy's plan. Joe's gone, Carmella rises, is found to be said box of rocks, and Nancy is elevated to the Presidency! And she gets her finger on the button, which she pushes with the weapons aimed at Mar-a-Lago.
ReplyDeleteI had not thought of that before. How the HELL could Walter give an STU speech? The guy can't even survive a 5 minute press meeting without fumbling the verbal football multiple times. He was lecturing us to "Wear your damn masks!" the other day, then proceeded to walk away from the lectern without his mask (until Kameltoe whispered for him to put it on). Teleprompters can only do so much.
ReplyDeleteYes, folks, the beginning of the end of the Biteme presidency has begun. Time to start a pool on which month of 2021 he will be replaced. I'm guessing around Christmas, when people are distracted by shopping for 35 dollar rolls of toilet paper to put under the fake cardboard tree colored with crayons.
@John the Econ,
And since Biden doesn't actually READ what he signs, he will cheerfully sign the bill that either removes his powers or removes him from office. He'll probably even hand out souvenir pens.
If, and I say IF there is a State of the Union address
ReplyDeleteI can guarantee it will be read from a teleprompter
and prerecorded.
"Hello, I'm president, uh you know that thing"
Cut! Take 9!
Got a chuckle out of this:
ReplyDelete"On the surface, Bruce and I don't have a lot in common," Obama acknowledges in the podcast teaser. "But over the years, what we've found is that we've got a shared sensibility. About work, about family and about America. In our own ways, Bruce and I have been on parallel journeys trying to understand this country that's given us both so much."
The big questions the two hope to confront, Obama said: "How did we get here? How could we find our way back to a more unifying American story?"
Oh, you guys have a ton in common. You not only both had the good fortune to be born in America in the most affluent age ever known by man, but you're both absurdly wealthy and have the luxury of dissing the country that made it all possible. You also believe that no matter how much Progressivism screws up America for the rest of us, you'll both retain enough wealth to insulate yourselves from the consequences of that for the rest of your natural lives. You will never have to pay the kind of prices for freedom that the vast majority of other Americans have or will have to.
And nothing says "unifying America" like demanding that some people who have never been slaveowners become slaves for others who have never been slaves.
This is going to get interesting. When Xiden is axed, who is going to take over?
ReplyDeleteHarris can't. She's not a natural born citizen.

Un-overturned supreme Court cases on Natural-born citizens
(What court supersedes the supreme Court?)
===============================================
The Venus, 12 U.S. 8 Cranch 253 253 (1814)
"The native or indigenes are those born in this country of parents who are citizens
results: Kamala's parents were not citizens.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shanks v. Dopont, 28 U.S. 3 Pet. 242 242 (1830)
...for children born in a country, continuing while under age in the family of the father, partake of his national character as a citizen of that country.
result: U.S. not the country of Kamala' father.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Minor v. Happersett, 88 U.S. 162 (1875)
At common law, with the nomenclature of which the framers of the Constitution were familiar, it was never doubted that all children born of parents who were its citizens became themselves, upon their birth, citizens also. These were native, or natural born citizens.
result: Kamala not a natural born citizen of the U.S.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark 169 U.S. 649 (1898)
(same quote as Minor v. Happersett)
On the basis of the 14th Amendment, however, the majority coined a new definition for "native citizen", as anyone who was born in the U.S.A., under the jurisdiction of the United States. The court gave a novel interpretation to jurisdiction, and thus extended citizenship to all born in the country, (excepting those born of ambassadors and foreign armies, etc.); but it did not extend the meaning of the term natural born citizen.
result: Kamala is still not a natural born citizen of the U.S.

ReplyDelete@NSB,
The Demo_Rats don't care about who isn't a "natural-born citizen" any more. They installed Barack Hussein in the office and he isn't a natural-born citizen. BHO Sr. was never a U.S. citizen, so Barack Hussein isn't a natural-born citizen, but the Demo_Rats never cared about the Constitution and its rules.
@JustaJeepGuy: Now we see the real reason for the House Policy of no gender-specific relationship language! How does one establish that the daughter "continuing while under age in the family of the father, [would] partake of his national character" without using the words father or daughter—or even (gasp) his?
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm sorry--the Demo_Rats DID once care about the Constitution. It was a loooooooooong time ago and maybe Harry Truman was the last one, but there once was loyalty to the Constitution in the (D) party. Truman did fire MacArthur for overstepping his Constitutional bounds...
