Trump Effect On Media

The Hill, Washington Post, New York Times, Politico, Wall Street Journal, CNN, and Vox Media have lost a large percentage of monthly unique visitors since Trump led the nation, according to Comscore data cited by the Journal.

“Newspapers, television, all forms of media will tank if I’m not there,” Trump predicted in 2017, “because without me, their ratings are going down the tubes.”

 

Looks like Trump was correct, again.

They're down by as much as 48%, now that they don't have him to kick around.

Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Occasional-Cortex

If you don't like Occasional-Cortex, you've been paying attention.

A new poll claims 44% of Americans have an 'unfavorable' view of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. The freshman Democrat responds by claiming Republicans, Fox News 'otherize' and 'demonize' anyone who is not a white male.

She's correct on one point:

She should not be having any children.

Green, Greed - What;s The Difference?

A neighbor down the street proudly placed solar panels on his house. He spent $4,000 after government subsidies and whatever deductions he may have taken from his income tax. He is confident that this move will save him tons of money on electricity and will safeguard the planet from global warming Armageddon by reducing his carbon footprint from fossil fuels. 

There is one fly in this perfect ointment—solar panels generate “tons of toxic waste” during the production process and during their disposal/replacement.

As mentioned here before, the output of solar panels decreases rapidly once installed, and they are effectively dead after 20 to 25 years. A number of companies offer "free" purchase and installation - but removal and disposal of non-functioning equipment is on you. Enjoy the smug feelings; they won't last long.

 

 

Amusement

The Minneapolis police union announced they are selling T-shirts that read "Cops for Trump," just days after the Minneapolis Police Department banned officers from wearing their uniforms in support of candidates at political events or in ads.

Right back atcha.

Maybe the bureaucrats (Democratics) should quit trying to dictate.

 

 

Cortez

Excellent move by the Trump: minimize the idiot.

This is sure to tick her off again, but what doesn't upset her? Besides, she's earned a minimalist approach.

Cortez was so relieved when her IQ test came back negative.

Ever notice how so many women are into appearance? They spend tons of (your) money on clothing, cosmetics, and often, name-changes in their relentless bids for attention. Right now, "hyphenated names" are really big in that crowd, but a few decades ago, short names were all the rage. You probably never heard of Cherilyn Sarkisian. Until she shortened it to "Cher".

 

Filthy Hipsters

MEN with beards carry more germs than dogs including deadly bacteria in their facial fuzz, a hair-raising study has found. Researchers discovered that nearly half of all sampled beards hosted bugs dangerous to human health. Professor Andreas Gutzeit, of Switzerland’s Hirslanden Clinic, said: “The researchers found a significantly higher bacterial load in specimens taken from the men’s beards compared with the dogs’ fur.”

“On the basis of these findings, dogs can be considered as clean compared with bearded men,” said Dr Gutzeit.

It's a small sample size, which throws the "findings" into question, but perhaps that's why Assange was growing a beard - bacteriological warfare!

Reminds me - it's time to head downstairs and shave again.

 

Winner!

NEW PORT RICHEY, Fla. — The New Port Richey Police Department has arrested a man for first degree murder nearly 18 years after the crime. Randy Petersilge, 51, was placed under arrest following his release from federal prison on April 5, 2019.

Don't you just love people with multiple tattoos?

They're so cute!

 

Shocker!

Believe it or not, it seems that electric cars don't do well in cold weather. Golly, who'd a thunkit?

Winter has come for Tesla Inc. and its army of car owners, which swelled in size last year. And some of those customers have cooled on the company along with freezing temperatures.

Model 3 owners have taken to social media and online forums to air issues they’ve had with their sedans due to the frigid weather of the last week. Cold conditions are a drain on battery range, no matter the car brand. But other predicaments are particular to Tesla.

Ronak Patel, a CPA auditor in New Jersey, bought a Model 3 last August. He’s driven about 150 miles in the cold over the last few days. “My biggest concern is the cold weather drained my battery 20 to 25 miles overnight and an extra five to ten miles on my drive to work,” he said. “I paid $60,000 to not drain my battery so quickly.”

This is clearly somebody who needs to take a few courses at N. S. Sherlock Academy. And there are other problems, like the door handles:

The Model 3’s handles are flush with the exterior of the car and require customers to push on one side, then pull on the other to open them.

Darn, when they ice up, you can't get into the car. But it still looks spiffy as it sits in the driveway or parking lot. And really, what better way to Save The Planet™ than by spending a few grand on a car and then not driving it? That takes your virtue-signalling to a whole new level!

Andrea Falcone, a software engineer in Boston, tweeted a picture of her frozen handle, commenting, “I can’t wait all day for this silly car.” Less than two months earlier, she had purchased the Model 3 and posted a smiley emoji and a picture of herself posing with the new car.

Which sort of begs the question, Andrea: who's sillier - the car itself, or the woman who chose to spend $60,000 on one?

 

Plastic Fantastic

Cher still believes that she's somehow important. Huh? She's a 72 year-old Leftist who hasn't been relevant since Sonny died.

She has a long history of bizarre and unhinged tweets. Last month, she tweeted that Kavanaugh becoming part of the Supreme Court would result in all LGBT rights being taken away and all women losing “choice.”

Presumably, that means women wouldn't get to kill babies on a whim.

Hmm...she was going to leave the country if Trump was elected. Still waiting for that one.

Dropped out of school at 16. Uneducated, but she could sing and look cute for a while, there. Now, who cares?

Well, her plastic surgeons probably do....

 

 

The Oh-So-Tolerant™ Left

An Elizabeth Warren supporter, identified as Paul Solovay, 74, left, was arrested and charged with assault after he allegedly struck Senate candidate Shiva Ayyadurai, right, authorities said.

You'd think that at 74, Paul would know better, but then, he's a Leftist. And they never seem to learn.

Meanwhile, in Portland:

Federal officers policing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Portland say they were subjected to a barrage of hateful and at times racially-charged invective during the month-long demonstration at the facility. Email records obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive detail some of the insults and taunting that several nonwhite federal officers say they endured.

A third officer reported that he and other federal agents had been “insulted and harassed almost nonstop” by demonstrators, and were told they are murderers, rapists and Nazis, the emails show. “They have yelled continuously that they hope we die, they hope our families die,” the officer wrote.

I kind of like it. With any luck, these hate-filled people will build themselves up to a full-scale heart attack. Of course, none of them work, so they really don't have anything else to do.

Apparently, this is the only way losers can feel good about themselves.

And we know how important that is to the unemployed kids.

But Portland's mayor finally got off his fanny and had the cops clear them out, although there's quite a mess for city workers to clean up now that they're gone.

"Camp consensus: We don’t move until ICE is out of Portland and abolished."

Wrong again. They lost.
