(Nov. 3, 2022) — “Walking to New Orleans” (2:04)
“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ‘The Pulse of the Nation,’ the place to hear it here first. Today’s guest is our very own ‘Truth-Teller,’ Madam Shylock. Miss Shylock has been the most requested guest followed by Henry. Welcome aboard; by the way, have you seen Henry lately?”
“Glad to see you, too, Roving, and thank you for the invite. Yes, I saw Henry this morning; fed him breakfast: fresh fly a la mode.”
“Ice cream for breakfast?”
“Come on, Roving, how many frogs do you know that speak English?”
“Well, one.”
“There you go.”
“Yes, of course. I see. So, do you have any predictions about the election this coming Tuesday?”
“Yes, I do, and I’ll make it easy for both of us and just list a few.”
“Sounds good.”
“Not if you have a head on your shoulders, it does. First on the list we already know: the Jan. 6 Committee, a rogue operation if I ever saw one. It’s like the trial of Galileo for daring to suggest that the earth may not be the center of our solar system, galaxy, universe. Why go through the motions if they’ve already reached a verdict: everyone is guilty except the real insurrectionist, VP Mike Pence for certifying fraudulent votes?”
“That is so true.”
“Second is the ‘Election-Denier Committee,’ followed by the ‘Vaccine-Hesitant Committee.’”
“Lot of committees. Will Marjorie Taylor Greene get a seat on one of those committees?”
“No.”
“Ever?”
“No.”
“Oh, too bad. Please go on with your list.”
“There will be the ‘Inflation-Denier Committee’ and the ‘VP Harris Is a Cackling Idiot-Denier Committee.’ Oh, and let’s not forget the ‘Crime in New York City-Denier Committee’ and the ‘Shootings in Chicago-Denier Committee.’”
“I see a pattern emerging.”
“Yes, there is. Anyone who is a ‘denier’ of the Government’s nonsense will be called to testify or, most likely, just be thrown in a gulag: here today, gone tomorrow.”
“I see. So, it’s a choice between slavery or freedom?”
“Or you could say, ‘A choice between a pile of dead birds or not.’”
“Wind turbines?”
“Yes. Pray for no wind.”
“Fewer birds means more insects; more insects means less food for you and me.”
“Good for you, Roving. Maybe there’s hope for you after all.”
“Thank you. Please continue with the ‘Denier List.’”
“You have your ‘BLM is a Communist Front-Denier Committee,’ the DHS is Desirable-Denier Committee,’ ‘The Patriot Act-Denier Committee,’ ‘Censorship-Denier Committee,’ and ‘Catherine Engelbrecht-Denier Committee.’”
“Really?”
“You have your ‘Harvard is an Honest Institution-Denier Committee,’ to boot.”
“Because Elizabeth Warren was caught in a lie, and they didn’t fire her?”
“That, too. But then there’s the Deep State connection. There’s the ‘Boots on the Ground in Ukraine-Denier Committee.’”
‘No doubt.”
“Also ‘Peaceful Religion-Denier Committee,’ ‘Mask and Mandate-Denier Committee’, and ‘Television Commercial-Denier Committee.’”
“Does it ever end?”
“No, never. This is how it works: a committee needs a budget, so, just like any other government agency, it grows until the committee becomes a ‘Department,’ and then that’s when you get your ‘Secretary of Election-Denier’ and ‘Secretary of Censorship-Denier.’ And then you get your ‘Election-Denier Protection Force’ and ‘Inflation-Denier Security Arm.’”
“No way.”
“Yes way. It’s a formula that’s been practiced by those who spend other people’s money.”
“Politicians spending taxpayers’ money.”
“You got it. Happens all the time; no matter how small and insignificant the operation is, they always ask for a bigger and bigger budget, year after year. Count on it.”
“Too bad our country can’t be run like a business.”
“Oh, but it can; that’s why Trump was so successful. It wasn’t other people’s money he was spending; it was his money and your money. Remember when he said we should’ve taken Kuwait’s oil to pay for saving them from Saddam Hussein? I think we all were expecting the same result except, of course, those in the government. We were all disappointed, and I still am. United Nations ‘Oil for Food’ scam. You see, year after year nothing but kickbacks and payoffs. Mitch McConnell taking money from China, as do a great percentage of the crooks in our nation’s capital.”
“Is there any way around it?”
“Probably not, but if we try, we’ll be a heck of a lot better off than doing nothing.”
“We’re doing nothing now, aren’t we?”
“That’s right, because Biden is nothing, as are Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, all the Dems and all the RINOS. Lisa Murkowski and Liz Cheney are two nothings, two who have had nothing positive to contribute but only take, take, take. Disgusting.”
“Could you put a hex or something on them?”
“I could, but I think it’s always better to let them destroy themselves, more meaningful, if you get what I mean. You see, Trump could not be bought, and the Deep State can’t stand that. Making America energy-independent denied our enemies petrol dollars to buy the weapons from American munition manufacturers with which to kill us, right?”
“Yes, I suppose so. Well, it’s been fun and so, on behalf of Madam Shylock, this is your Roving Reporter wishing each of you a goodnight: Goodnight.
“Good show. Burger time: my treat.”
