The planter, the farmer, the mechanic, and the laborer…form the great body of the people of the United States they are the bone and sinew of the country men who love liberty and desire nothing but equal rights and equal laws.

When you look at the 2020 Democratic Presidential field it almost takes your breath away. The sheer range of nitwittery is stunning. Joe Biden, a serial plagiarist, shoulder clutcher and hair sniffer with bad hair plugs. Corey Booker, a man who declared himself Spartacus in front of a tv camera. Elizabeth Warren, an Okie who couldn’t be whiter trying to pass herself off as a Cherokee in order to get a job at Harvard. Kamala Harris, a woman who slept her way to the top in California politics. Bernie Sanders, a septuagenarian communist who looks and sounds like Larry David’s stunt double from “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Pete Buttigieg? I won’t even bother. And on and on and on. The candidates who might actually have something to offer like Michael Bloomberg aren’t running because they sense that President Trump is very likely to get re-elected without much effort. Bloomberg is probably waiting for 2024 to see if a better opportunity presents itself.
And it’s not just the abnormality of the candidates that strikes you. It’s the fact that weirdness is actually their greatest selling point. Bernie is popular because he is a communist. Mayor Pete is popular because he’s married to a man. Booker is exciting because he’ll say outlandish things that even he’s not sure make any sense. Kamala wants to turn the United States in California, the first “Third World State” in the Union.
But in handicapping this race I think you have to assume that the weirdo pageant is really a selection process for the VP sweepstakes. Whichever of the wackos produces the most excitement and brings the largest constituency of unlikely voters to the Democratic ticket will end up as running mate to either Creepy Uncle Joe or Crazy Uncle Bernie. Because when push comes to shove, they’ll put an old white guy at the head of the ticket to try and give some semblance of normality to their platform. The Obama experiment opened up a lot of eyes about just “who they are” on the Left. Now in order to drag any middle-class men at all to the Democrat side they have to flee from the fringe when the general election starts. But if they can tack on a woman or a minority or a homosexual on as running mate, they hope it will energize enough of their own base to put them over the top.
My guess is it will be the Creepy Uncle Joe/Fauxcahontas ticket. And that is just marginally more likely than Kamala Harris or Corey Booker in the second spot. But I’m pretty sure Biden will be their candidate. He checks all the boxes. His link to Obama and his folksy regular guy act is pretty close to what the Democrats think will appeal to both black voters and working-class white men. Fauxcahontas is the best lure for suburban white women. So that’s the ticket I think we’ll see.
Wow. That’s some “dream team.” I suspect President Trump will pummel them mercilessly in the general election and on Twitter (unless he’s banned by that outlet). It should be a very entertaining primary and general election season. Stay tuned to see if my prognostication is accurate.

Israel Folau was a star of the Australian Rugby league. But his comments about his christian beliefs on homosexuality got him fired from his team and when he set up a crowdfunding effort to contest the firing in court, GoFundMe cancelled the account after it received over $500,000.

Folau is a Polynesian (Tongan) raised in a christian family and his biblical beliefs about the immorality of abnormal sexual practices have clashed with the LGBTQ mafia that more and more ruthlessly attempts to silence any voices that won’t burn a pinch of incense to the Caesar of our time. Kudos to Vox for highlighting this story from “Down Under.”

The brave man, inattentive to his duty, is worth little more to his country than the coward who deserts her in the hour of danger.

I am one of those who do not believe that a national debt is a national blessing, but rather a curse to a republic; inasmuch as it is calculated to raise around the administration a moneyed aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country.

“Summer, it turns me upside down
Summer, summer, summer
It’s like a merry go round”

Well, it’s finally here. Summer in New England. And despite the cool weather, endless rain and soggy ground I will be rejoicing in the summer solstice and swatting mosquitoes. I have guests this weekend and also some chores to accomplish but I’ll opine on anything that strikes my fancy and hopefully get out and take some photos of the gorgeousness that is summer.

And so, it does for Jess-Belle she discovers that she has herself has become a witch. She has lost her soul and now every night she turns into a leopard. Knowing that the townspeople have gathered to hunt the big cat that night, Jess-Belle begs her mother to lock her in her room and not let her out. But the leopard escapes the house and goes after Ellwyn in the family barn. Luckily, the hunters show up to save Ellwyn and they shoot down the witch cat and it disappears in a puff of smoke. But Billy Ben who was one of the hunters finds his engagement ring that he had given to Jess-Belle on the ground where the leopard had been.
Released from Jess-Belle’s influence Billy Ben returns to Ellwyn and they are eventually married. But Jess-Belle’s mother warns him that her daughter’s spirit still haunts the area and that she will try to revenge herself on Billy Ben and Ellwyn. Billy Ben goes to Granny Hart and finds out that to kill a witch he must use her clothes to make an image of her and then stab it through the heart with a silver pin.
When he gets home Ellwyn’s body has been possessed by Jess-Belle’s spirit and she is threatening to take him away. But he is able to use one of her dresses and a silver pin to attack her. The dress suddenly contains Jess-Belle and she dies and evaporates. Now Ellwyn and Billy Ben are happily together and looking up in the night sky they see a shooting star and Ellwyn claims that the star means that a witch has died.
A hillbilly witch story, yeehah! James Best and Anne Francis are a lot of fun as the protagonists. It’s not exactly Shakespeare but it is very entertaining. I’ll say B+
