Of Afghanistan and Lipstick
by Joseph DeMaio, ©2021 (Aug. 16, 2021) — OK, the Goofball returned from Camp David today to deliver to the American public an explanation for the rapidly metastasizing situation in Afghanistan.

mRNA Experimental Fluids for the Military?
by Joseph DeMaio, ©2021 (Aug. 9, 2021) — Last week, your humble servant offered this post positing several “what-if” hypothetical questions, the answers to which seem increasingly to suggest that the Wuhan coronavirus may, in fact, be a bioweapon intentionally launched by China.

Mark Twain Said It Best
by Joseph DeMaio, ©2021 (Aug. 2, 2021) — Mark Twain said it best: “There are lies; there are damn lies; then there are statistics.” Today, Twain’s observations have no better example than those that appear daily in the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party, formerly known as the independent mainstream media.

Wokestan Newspeak
by Joseph DeMaio, ©2021 (Jul. 30, 2021) — Seriously? Attorney General Merrick (“Thank-the-Lord-and-Mitch-McConnell-he’s-not-a-Supreme-Court-Justice”) Garland and the Goofball-in-Chief, both marinating in the swamp now called Washington, District of Wokestan, have agreed with one of their minions that the “Executive Office for Immigration Review” (“EOIR”) within the Department of “Justice” [sic] can no longer refer to illegal […]

Kamala’s “Kinko’s Moment”
by Joseph DeMaio, ©2021 (Jul. 11, 2021) — OK, the Goofball-in-Chief’s sidekick, aka Kamala Harris, once again demonstrates how painfully unqualified she is to serve in public office, let alone reside at One Observatory Circle.

Of Natural Manure and the GIC
by Joseph DeMaio, ©2021 (Jun. 26, 2021) — Seriously? Faithful P&E readers, did you see the latest stumble-bumble excuse for a press conference by the Goofball-in-Chief – for brevity, let us invent and deploy an acronym: the “GIC” – where he starts whispering in response to questions?
