The next appointed Iranian Supreme Leader should have a “Kick Me” sign taped to his back.
While Iran’s Supreme Council gathering was casting votes to select its next Supreme Leader Tuesday, March 3 it was immediately targeted by Israel and blown to smithereens, ensuring that they are now all supremely dead.
Iranian leadership ranks are rapidly depleting as that vile assemblage of grisly murderers is down to its fourth or fifth string team, with what’s left of them nervously looking over their shoulders and none of them too anxious about moving into the starting lineup, much less quarterbacking the team.
In just two hours last Saturday Donald Trump, coordinated with Israel, to accomplish what no other American president in 47 years had the courage to do – annihilate the murderous regime that has killed thousands of Americans and threatened the world with nuclear Armageddon.
In less than a week the U.S. and Israel have obliterated Iran’s navy, air force, its air defenses and gutted its leadership ranks. The successors are currently reduced to the water boy, a goatherder and a couple of chickens.
The America people should be grateful to the Democrat party for nominating two of the dimmest candidates imaginable for president and vice president – Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. It’s unconceivable where the country would be today if those two buffoons had been elected.
The cackling hen Harris is still spouting unintelligible nonsense from California and Walz’s stunned looks and totally unprepared appearance before Congress attempting to explain his state’s massive fraud were an unintended laugh fest.
These two clowns missed their calling. They could have been show businesses’ next Burns & Allen or Stiller & Meara…they’re naturals.

Stupid People Saying Stupid Things:
“The Iranian regime posed no imminent threat to the U.S.” – Democrat California Senator Adam Schiff.
“America committed an act of war just because Venezuela is below the equator,” – Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.
“Trump’s Iranian action is doomed to failure,” – Democrat Minority Leader Hakeem Jefferies.
“Maduro says he isn’t going anywhere and sees Trump’s military threats as a bluff. Maduro believes the only way the U.S. can remove him is by sending in troops, which analysts say is impossible.” – Wall Street Journal article January 4.
“They’re breaking windows, dragging pregnant women down the street, just plain grabbing Minnesotans and shoving them into unmarked vans, kidnapping innocent people with no warning and no due process.” – Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, commenting on ICE January 22.
“Congress must act to rein in Donald Trump’s belligerence.” – Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

Where’s Waldo? Unlike Waldo, a world-traveling comic book “Wanderer” in a red and white striped shirt who hides intentionally, Joe Biden is a cartoonish character who mindlessly wanders off the stage and has aides scurrying to point him back in the right direction.
Ole Joe hasn’t been heard from since the last time he spoke in public and mumbled incomprehensibly calling the U.S. “Americrat.”
It was obvious he was fading fast the last two to three years of his administration, and even his adoring media pals don’t want to interview him about current issues as they’ve run out of excuses for his erratic, bizarre behavior, and disjointed rambling.

Don’t Mess With Texas: Air-headed, foul-mouthed Democrat Jasmine Crockett not only lost her primary in the Texas Senate race to Christian, moderate white guy, Texas State Representative James Talarico, but lost her House seat too. Talarico will face either Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton or Senator John Cornyn, who will face each other in a runoff.
Meanwhile Houston embarrassment Congressman and Democrat crank Al Green is in a runoff with Christian Menefee to keep his 20-year House seat. I don’t know a thing about Menefee, but he can’t possibly bring more shame to Texas than the cane-waving cranky Green.

Things I Don’t Understand: Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity alleges that with the best possible means of propulsion a trip to another solar system beyond the one we live in would take many years of an astronaut’s life. On the return to earth the astronaut would discover the population older, not by those years but by decades, maybe even centuries.
Based on what I’ve read It’s estimated that that space and time are connected and are affected by motion and gravity; essentially, gravity isn’t a force but the curving of spacetime and the faster you move, the slower time passes for you.
If you go you may want to take the wife and kids along.

Wait! What? A couple of years ago (June 26, 2024) at Boston’s Fenway Park something took place that sparked an event that will never happen again in major league baseball.
In the 2nd inning of a game with the Toronto Blue Jays, catcher Danny Jensen of the Jays fouled off a pitch for strike one while it was raining. The umpire then called a delay, and the grounds crews covered the field with a tarp. Following some 108 minutes of rain the Red Sox announced that the remainder of the game would be postponed until August. In the meantime Jensen was traded to Boston.
When the game resumed August 26 he was catching once again, this time for Boston, the home team. He complete his at-bat for the home team and his at bat-for the Jays was completed by a pinch hitter.
He therefore became he first major league baseball player to play for both teams in the same major-league game.
The official scorecard is in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Things I Wish I’d Said: The following from H.L. Mencken: “If after I depart this vale, you, you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner and wink your eye at some homely girl.”
“Alimony is the ransom the happy pay to the devil.” And “We must respect the other fellow’s religion to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.”

Big Government? When the U.S Department of Agriculture was established in 1862 it had a commissioner and nine employees. More than half of all Americans worked on farms then.
Today the department oversees 29 subagencies with almost 100,000 employees and last year reported that it expended $228.3 trillion.
Today’s share of Americans that work in agriculture is less than 2%.

This year, MLB has added an electronic (ABS strike zone) challenge feature where a batter, catcher, or pitcher can challenge the call of a strike or ball. Each team gets 2 challenges per game, but if the challenge is successful, they don’t lose one. The managers cannot initiate the action. They no longer show the box on the screen during the game. Watching spring training so far, I have seen two games completely changed by the challenge. It takes about 5-8 seconds to review a challenge to a pitch, so it’s not holding anything up. Good job, MLB!
Christian moderate Talarico is anything but that. Anti-2nd amendment, and pro alphabet soup rights.
