So Sunday night I posted my incredibly over the top comic masterpiece “The Absolutely Final, Last Stand of the Losers, 2020 Democratic Kamikaze Debate.” Well, over the top may not be completely accurate. All descriptions of the Tuesday night debate put it within an order of magnitude of what I described in my parody. Ah, a prophet is never honored in his own time. It does my heart good to know that the Dems are fulfilling the direst fears of the progressive powers that be. If Bernie gets a convincing plurality of the delegates it will be checkmate against them in the November election. Give him the nomination he will go down in flames. Strip him of the nomination and his followers will stay home. Sweet poetic justice for the Left encouraging the Millenials to believe in magic socialism. Feel the Bern!

Notice they mention losing the House. Just so delicious.
The Absolutely Final, Last Stand of the Losers, 2020 Democratic Kamikaze Debate
Dramatis Personae: Bernie Sanders (BP); Joe Biden (JB); Elizabeth Warren (EW); Amy Klobuchar (AK); Mike Bloomberg (MB); Mystery Candidate (MC); Christiane Amanpour (CA); Rudy Giuliani (RG); Joy Reid (JR); Anderson Cooper (AC); Rachel Maddow (RM);
(Scene 1: Inside the media booth at the final Democratic Debate in San Francisco)
CA – Hello, I’m Christiane Amanpour with my interesting British accent, and we’re here at the final 2020 Democratic Presidential Debate in beautiful San Francisco, California.
RG – Beautiful? You call trying to navigate around a sidewalk festooned with human feces and vomit beautiful? Christiane, that’s some weird alternate reality you live in.
CA – And as you can see and hear, I’m joined by the always cantankerous, former Mayor of New York and current attorney for President Trump, Rudy Giuliani.
RG – I can live with cantankerous.
CA – And we’ll be here to see who will step up and try to knock Bernie Sanders off his trajectory of winning the Democratic Presidential Nomination.
RG – Actually I’m here for the laughs. These losers are trying to stop the Crazy Party from nominating the King of the Lunatics. That seems to be an impossibility.
CA – Despite Rudy’s penchant for Right Wing propaganda, it will be interesting to see if the more moderate candidates attempt to make an issue of Bernie Sanders flirtation with socialism.
RG – Flirtation? I would say that it was consummated to use a polite word. To continue your analogy, if this were seventy years ago, we’d be seeing a shotgun wedding between Bernie and Communism.
CA – Well, enough of this banter. Let’s go to the debate stage. The seven candidates are now advancing to their podiums and the moderators are seated. We have CNN’s Anderson Cooper and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and Joy Reid.
RG – Ah yes, the voices of reason. Where did I put my barf bag?
(Scene 2: Wide shot of the moderators and candidates on the debate stage)
JR – I’m Joy Reid and welcome to the audience here at the Palace of Fine Arts here in vibrant San Francisco.
(A voice from the audience gives a loud bitter laugh and an epithet. A struggle is seen in the audience and a man is tased and carried away.)
JR – Spirits are high and let’s meet our panel and the candidates. I’m joined by my colleagues Rachel Maddow and Anderson Cooper who know in their hearts that that wasn’t me who allegedly said those homophobic remarks all those years ago because that is not who I am.
(Maddow and Cooper glare at her over rigid smiles.)
JR – And here are the 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidates. In decreasing order of electoral relevance, Senator Bernie Sanders, the socialist democrat from Vermont; Mayor Mike Bloomberg of New York City; Vice President Joe Biden of Delaware; Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend Indiana; Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts; Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota; Billionaire Tom Steyer of San Francisco California. Welcome all of you or Zae, Zee, Zi, Zo, Zou and sometimes Zy.
(The candidates look confused and mumble some replies.)
RM – Hey wait a minute, that’s not Tom Steyer there at the loser end of the podium. It’s a masked intruder in an ill-fitting white pantsuit!
MC – That’s right Rachel Maddow, I am the “mystery candidate” and Tom Steyer has voluntarily surrendered his place on the stage and his billion-dollar fortune to me in my run for the presidency.
AC – But that’s nonsense. This is the end of the campaign and there’s no way that can be justified under the rules of the debate or the DNC campaign requirements.
BP – Wanna bet Anderson? How do you think they justified screwing me out of the nomination last time?
RM – Alright but why the mask? You’re obviously Hillary Clinton and you’re not fooling anyone.
MC – That’s ridiculous! Hillary Clinton is so beloved by the people that she would never disguise herself. It would be throwing away her natural advantage.
RM – If that’s so how come you lost the last two times you ran.
MC – That’s a damn lie. The Russians stole the election from me. … I mean from her.
JR – Alright, whatever, we don’t have all night let’s move on and get this show on the road.
AC – The first question will be answered by all the candidates. Why do you want to be President of the United States of America? Senator Sanders?
BS – I wanna say that when I am President the first order of business will be to make the minimum wage $500 dollars an hour. That way all Americans will be earning a million dollars a year. Then I will make the tax on the million-dollar bracket 100%. That will flood the treasury with cash and balance the budget. I would seize all businesses and nationalize them and all profits would be divided equally by all the people. And finally, I would declare all humans and some primates American citizens and allow them all to enjoy the fruits of this land. To each according to his needs and from each according to his abilities.
RM – Hey that’s misogynist! You should have said her or at least their.
BS – Yes, that’s what I should have said. But, I am very old, you know.
MB – Hey can I say something in rebuttal?
AC – Well Mayor Bloomberg, it’s your turn to answer the question. If you want to discuss Senator Sander’s answer feel free.
MB- Thanks. Bernie Sanders is a dangerous lunatic. What he just laid out was a delusional plan that would bankrupt the country and collapse the financial system of the entire planet. I can’t actually calculate how bad it would be but I guess that tens of millions would starve in the first few months and the urban areas would devolve into cannibalism within the first year. Shortly after that the Chinese would invade and occupy the more desirable farming and mining areas and allow the rest to revert to primitive tribalism.
BS – This bloated plutocrat is lying. He has grown fat on the forced labor of the lumpen proletariat.
MB – Hey looks who’s talking about bloated and fat. I keep my weight at a very optimal point and you look pretty flabby to me Mr. Millionaire Communist.
BS – Liar, I’m a Democratic Socialist! And a millionaire isn’t a billionaire like you!
MB – Socialist, Communist. Potato, pattata.
AC – Well Mayor Bloomberg, you’ve critiqued your opponent’s plan. What is you reason for running?
MB – I see the most urgent threat that America is faced with is what to do about the “Big Gulp.” Are you aware that the fifty-ounce beverage is killing more Americans each year than cancer and opioids combined? And also, the average American butt size has increased by eleven inches over the last twenty years. I am on a crusade to bring health and longevity to the people of this great country. Once my War on gulps is victorious, I intend to go after the Big Mac, the Whopper and, God willing, the all you can eat Lobster Fest at Red Lobster.
AC – Well I see what you mean about butt size. It’s a pet peeve of mine too. Well Mr. Vice President, it’s your turn.
JB – You know when I was the right-hand man of a certain clean articulate President named Barack Obama, I suppose you remember him, he said to me, he said, “Joe, old friend, what can be done to stop the Big Gulp?” Well I drew up a plan and pushed through the legislation in record time and that’s how we defeated the Big Gulp.
MB – That never happened.
JB – Listen you lying, dog-faced pony soldier, why don’t we have a push up contest or go out behind the barn and decide this the old-fashioned way with chains and straight razors.
AC – Please Mr. Vice President, try to stay on track.
JB – Well as I was saying, back last year when I was Vice President, I set up the program that made the minimum wage $500 an hour and that’s how we ended poverty in our lifetime.
(Stunned silence descends on the stage and crowd.)
AC – While the former Vice President is being escorted to the emergency room for treatment, can you tell us your reason for being President, Mayor Buttigieg.
PB – Thank you Anderson, we all acknowledge the terrible struggle you’ve endured at the hands of the rampant homophobia that is America’s scourge. I too have tasted the whiplash sting of its cruelty.
AC – Ahhhh? You do know I’m a Vanderbilt and have hundreds of millions of dollars, right?
PB – No amount of wealth can make up for the whiplash sting of cruelty.
AC – Sure, but it really helps, don’t you think?
PB – Well, maybe. Anyway, my priority will be ensuring that every American child knows the name and correct pronunciation for the names of all the Latin American dictators, uhhh … I mean leaders in our hemisphere.
AK – Screw you, you little jerk.
AC – Please Senator Klobuchar, your turn isn’t next.
AK – He sucks!
PB – Homophobe!
AK – Ahhh, grow a pair you little weasel!
AC – Please, please! Let’s get back to business. Senator Warren it’s your turn.
EW – Thank you Anderson. One of the most important parts of my candidacy is bringing a woman’s perspective to the presidency. Women are the practical money handlers in their families. We know how to avoid debt and live within our means. Looking at Senator Sanders’ ridiculous proposal it doesn’t take a CPA to see that a $500 an hour minimum wage is insanity. The fact that he doesn’t recognize its absurdity is proof of his unfitness to be President. Applying a real-world perspective along with a woman’s social justice instincts points to a minimum wage that is absolutely no higher than $450 an hour.
MB – Is it too late for me to get a MAGA hat?
AC – Alright let’s hang in there for a few more minutes. This thing is almost over. Senator Klobuchar have you got some brief comments you’d like to make.
AK – You betcha. I can’t win this thing. I’m too close to normal. What I would like to do is throw something at that little weasel Buttigieg. If someone will just hold him for a second, I’ll kick his skinny little butt.
AC – Security please escort Senator Klobuchar from the stage and get Mayor Pete some smelling salts. Alright, “Mystery Candidate,” would you like a shot at the question?
MC – I’d be delighted Anderson. For all of my life I’ve strived to educate the American people about their unworthiness and what they needed to do to atone for their sins. And at the top of that list is making me their President. I’ve suffered as no other woman ever has. I’ve been ridiculed for my looks, my weight, my voice, my husband’s womanizing and for the very large number of coincidental suicides that seem to occur all around me. I want to be President so that all this persecution will end. I will set up a Presidential tribunal that will adjudicate all these capitol offenses fairly and once these people have been brought to justice, I intend to eliminate the 22nd amendment by executive order and give the United States the permanent and hereditary leadership it has always deserved.
AC – Okay, I think my colleagues will agree to skip their questioning so that we can escape before the voters storm this building and drag us off to Alcatraz for summary execution. I apologize heartily to the American people and promise to find a real job where I can atone for my connection to this lunatic asylum.
(Scene 3: Inside the media booth)
RG – Well there you have it. Christiane Amanpour has fled the building with Joe Biden in hot pursuit trying to grab her shoulders and smell her hair. I haven’t had such a good time since the Yankees won the World Series from the Mets in 2000. Well anyway, it doesn’t look like there’ll be much drama in November but I suppose that’s best for the country. But I hope you’ve enjoyed the show. Sorry it couldn’t have gone longer but these people really do need to get back to the hospital. Good night and Keep America Great in November.
Report Says Trump has Flipped the Ninth District Court
Apparently the ten judges that President Trump has appointed to the historically leftist 9th District Federal Court has switched the balance from Left to Right.
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-02-22/trump-conservative-judges-9th-circuit
Considering the thorn in the side that that court has been for conservatives you’ve got to love that.
Who Can the Dems Find to Inject Some Hope into the Race?
Here we are at the end of the third week of relentlessly bad news for the progressives. The Impeachment was a nothing burger. The State of the Union Address was great optics for President Trump and a disaster for Nancy “the Ripper” Pelosi and her handmaidens in white. Every primary, every debate, every news story has embarrassed the candidates and demoralized the progressive voters. Bernie has surged in the polls and the party leadership are running out of options to stop him from getting the nomination. They know if he goes into the convention with a plurality of the delegates and they appoint someone else in a smoke filled room that the Bernie Bros will freak out and either stay home on election day or vote for Trump out of revenge.
But even if they did anoint someone else who could it be? All the other candidates are hopeless misfits that only appeal to one strand in the liberal coalition of the offended. The Buttigieg voters hate Warren and Klobuchar. The black voters only want Biden because of his link to Obama. If he seems unelectable they’ll have to switch horses in mid-stream. But which one? Buttigieg and Warren won’t interest them. Could they buy into Klobuchar? Maybe, but it’s not a natural fit. All in all, the present situation is racking the nerves of the Dem electorate. The path forward is unclear.
This actually matches up with the outcome a lot of the contrarians were speculating about last year. They were saying that Hillary would be plucked out of the air as the candidate or Michelle Obama or Oprah. Would the Democrats do that? I think they would if they thought they had a unifying savior. I don’t think Hillary is an option. Her loss in 2016 has tarnished her too badly. she is a spent force. I think Michelle Obama is a possibility. She would energize the black voting block. And the lure of the Obama years would fascinate a lot of the other progressive groups. But it does seem unlikely. I think the Obamas think 2024 is the right time to re-emerge. They probably are hoping that a downturn in the economy will allow them to insinuate themselves back onto the national scene.
For these reasons I don’t think there is a viable alternative to Bernie Sanders. Bloomberg has the money and the moderate credentials but he just got his head handed to him in the first debate. He is not the right profile to inspire the Left to electoral victory. So it will be Bernie. Good. Bernie has a loyal following of millenials. They will vote for him. He will get the loyalist Dem voters who will hold their noses and pull the lever. But he won’t get the independents. These libertarian types will listen when Bernie says he is going to take their money and redistribute it to the poor and they will believe him. And they’ll think, “I like my money, it’s my best friend. I don’t want to give it all to Bernie.” And they will vote for Trump or stay home. So I think the Dems are screwed. They all got on board the green new deal and free college and free healthcare and free everything and because of that people who work and can count are going to give them the thumbs down.
So here’s to nine more months of Democrat depression followed by the election night despair. I hope their healthcare plans include free anti-depressants. They’re gonna need them.
Debating Bernie
With all the talk about Bloomberg coming in and being handed the nomination I thought about which scenario was better for us. Honestly I can’t rightly say. Bloomberg is maybe a little less crazy but he has plenty of faults that will make him a big target in November.
But putting aside questions of tactics I keep coming back to how much fun it would be if Bernie were the nominee. Imagine a debate between President Trump and him. If asked about healthcare he would tout his Medicaid for All. When he was forced to admit it, he would confirm that it would eliminate all the private insurance in the country and throw us into an awful government system like the Canadians and British. These are systems where you might have to wait years for an expensive test or treatment. In fact some cancer patients have died waiting for such tests. Can you imagine what President Trump would do with an opportunity to reply to a Bernie answer on health insurance? It would be devastating.
And how about the rest of Bernie’s agenda? He believes in eliminating border controls. He wants free college for all. He wants to provide free medical and education benefits to all illegals. He’s on board with the pipe dream plan in the “green new deal.” The shock and horror of moderates and independents when Bernie admits that he’s going to ramp their taxes exponentially to pay for all these absurdities will lose him every sane voter in middle America. In such a situation we can probably win Colorado, and Nevada on top of all the states Trump won in 2016 along with the likely addition of Minnesota.
And the best part of the whole thing will be all those progressives wailing and gnashing their teeth on Election Day night. Miley Cyrus whining and crying, again, about how it was Bernie’s turn. Rachel Maddow telling us, again, that this is no nightmare, this is our lives. Without a doubt the “ragin’ Cajun,” James Carville’s head will explode out of frustration that his warnings about Bernie were ignored. The Young Turks will be swearing continuously again. Every single word will be bleeped out. I wonder if Russia will be blamed again. Of course, it would be better to blame the Soviet Union than Russia. that will be the actual cause of the loss. Because when you come right down to it, less than half of Americans are crazy enough to prefer socialism to capitalism. Not that capitalism has been doing a bang up job lately but even the semi-delusional will look into Bernie Sander’s apoplectic face and recognize a lunatic when they see one.
Of course 2020 will be much better than 2016. we wont have to wait for months for President Trump to be sworn in and then assemble a cabinet. He’ll already be there. And with no more campaigning in his future he’ll be unconstrained. His Justice Department can use his next four years to frog-march the likes of Comey, McCabe, Brennan and Clapper right into the big house. My won’t that be fun.
President Trump Kicks Jessie Liu to the Curb
More fallout from the Roger Stone set-up.
https://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/president-trump-starts-to-drain-the-swamp-yanks-liu/
Jessie Liu, as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, oversaw the prosecutors that railroaded Roger Stone. She was up for a post in the Treasury Department but now, not so much. Good. Finally vindictiveness is being put to good use.
Now just do this one hundred thousand more times.
Who will Call the Shots for the Democrats?
I know I said that I’m assuming that President Trump’s re-election is a foregone conclusion and the results of the Democrat primary are of no consequence, but the hilarity of their demolition derby is just too wonderful to ignore. I must opine.
The outcome of the first two state elections for the Democrat Presidential Primary have been disastrous for Joe Biden. He was fourth in Iowa and fifth in New Hampshire. Now granted those states are practically bereft of minority voters who are Joe’s major constituency but to not even come in the top three is highly troubling to the bag men who are supplying Joe’s campaign with the millions of dollars needed to keep the No Malarkey! Reality Bus Tour plodding along on the highways and byways of this great land. It’s probably a good bet that they are already in contact with the Buttigieg and Klobuchar campaigns figuring out how to siphon off funds from Joe and funnel them to the current flavors of the month.
There are already voices in the media calling for Joe to suspend his campaign. They fear that if he remains in the race, he’ll prevent the moderate candidate from knocking off Bernie. You see, the less crazy but more corrupt Dems are afraid that the more crazy but less corrupt Bernie Bros will get their candidate nominated. And those less crazies know that Bernie is unelectable. So even though they must be careful to hide their actions and intentions, they will do anything they can to stop Bernie from accruing the number of delegates needed to win the nomination outright. As long as that is prevented, they can always rig the convention to get their preferred candidate nominated.
But so far, Joe says he’s committed to going forward. His hope is that Nevada and South Carolina will give him the wins he needs to re-establish himself as the front runner. And I really do hope he does stay in. If he manages to siphon off just enough votes to allow Bernie to edge out Butt Pete this contest can go on and on. And once Bloomberg enters the fray things will get even more confused. Bloomberg will pour hundreds of millions of dollars into the race and tempt the establishment with dreams of their own Trump who can rule by fiat and pay for his programs himself. How wonderfully unsettled it all seems to be.
But which way will it all go? I think Bernie will once again fail to secure an outright delegate win. I think they’ll give the nomination to Petey Boy. And I think they’ll make Klobuchar or Kamala Harris his running mate. How exciting is that?
Okay, so I made all this up just now. But tomorrow all these sandcastles could be washed away. Suppose Biden gets a crushing win in South Carolina. Suddenly he’s riding high again. Or suppose Klobuchar beats Buttigieg in both Nevada and South Carolina. Now we must flip the order on the ticket with Amy on top. Or suppose Bernie takes Nevada and Joe comes in second. All these possibilities scramble the logic of who will end up as Dem nominee.
And all of this is driving the Democrat voters and leaders into fits. They’re scared of not knowing who the nominee will be and they’re scared that all the choices are bad. The fear and uncertainty are just great. What a wonderful time to be a conservative.
So not that it should matter who they pick, because they’re still going to lose. But knowing that they’re in agony just makes it so much better.
What Do the Deplorables Want? How About, What Do I Want?
So, this is a loaded question. There isn’t a monolithic consciousness that pervades all of the Right and aligns everyone’s opinions. I have friends who really only care about the Supreme Court and are praying for a Roberts-proof lock on the voting. Then I know guys who more than anything else in the world want to see Comey and all his superiors all the way up to Barry O get frog-marched into prison for their treasonous crimes over the last several years. And I know plenty of people who believe as an article of faith that unless the illegal immigrants are ejected by the tens of millions in the next couple of years that America will be finished.
Look at this list and the other priorities you know about; First Amendment violations, Second Amendment outrages, social media discrimination, job offshoring, etc. These priorities are all over the place. What pattern or organizing principle can clarify how all of these goals are related?
A couple of years ago I wrote a post in which I compared the present illegal immigration situation to a sinking ship. The steps I outlined to solve the problem were:
- Step One – Plug the hole.
- Step Two – Pump out the water.
- Step Three – Repair the damage.
- Step Four – Review cause of crash and take measures to prevent recurrence.
I laid out what each of these steps translated into with respect to the immigrant problem but it’s easy enough to guess what they were.
Thinking back to that analogy and looking at all the other problems listed above I have to modify the model. It’s not as if we struck a reef and a hole has to be repaired. It’s like a group of maniacal saboteurs armed with explosives has systematically blasted a dozen separate holes in the hull and is in fact still setting up additional charges. In a situation like that plugging holes is not the first order of business. The first job is to liquidate the saboteurs.
For that reason, I agree with the folks who want to prosecute the Coup and throw the book at them. These people are an existential threat to us and as long as they are still in place, we will never make any progress on wresting control of our lives back into our own hands. Comey, Brennan, Clapper and the rest of the conspirators have attempted to overthrow the lawfully elected President of the United States and although they failed, they are still walking the streets unpunished and waiting to get back to work as soon as they have another chance. These people are a de facto oligarchy that decide what is allowed to occur in the federal government and even who is allowed to run it.
Since J. Edgar Hoover started blackmailing Jack Kennedy back in the 1960s the security apparatus has been dictating policy from behind the scenes and controlling many of the elected officials that we thought were the decision makers. Does it go above these coup leaders? Maybe we’ll find out. If the lower level guys squeal on the mid-level rats I would imagine that anything is possible. But this will require that William Barr is both genuinely patriotic and absolutely fearless. It’s hard to believe that we could be that lucky. Once again, we’re about to find out. It’s way past the time for Barr to start getting results from Durham’s investigations. After the acquittal some people have stated that the first indictments are about to be handed down in the next few weeks. Well, I’ve heard that many times before. But I’m interested in seeing what is the result. As stated above I thing that prosecuting these people is the only way to head off further damage to our country. Otherwise we’re just chasing yesterday’s disaster and never catching up.
We’ve Got the Bastards on the Run
It’s possible, in my opinion, to belabor certain points. For instance, some folks are so interested in the inside baseball of the Justice Department corruption that countless words will be expended weekly going over the minutia of the various documents available and how these might impact future moves by President Trump’s allies and enemies. Granted, that many people are fascinated by the prospect of the swamp getting nuked by Attorney General Barr. I myself am among those who would build a statue to Mr. Barr if he won that war. But I think continuously covering the same ground is too maddening to contemplate and a form of abuse of the readers. That being said, I want to regurgitate some of the events of this past week. And the reason is I want to talk about what the cumulative effect of all these wins has been on the morale of the Right Wing.
I have some friends on the Right who for a long time have been borderline clinically depressed over the state of the country and the prospects of things ever improving. Well, this week I caught them smiling and laughing about the events of the past few days. When I accused them of optimism, they tried to deny it but the smiles on their faces put the lie to it. And in the news a poll found that Americans by an 80% to 11% margin thought that their lives would improve in 2020.
What we are seeing is the result of winning. What we are seeing is the result of trying. People have been conditioned by decades of seeing the hapless Republicans having their heads handed to them by progressives in the Media and the Democrats that they automatically assume that no matter what break comes our way it will be stifled by a combination of the power of the Left and the incompetence of the GOP establishment.
Well, what we saw this week is something that we haven’t seen since Reagan. Sustained good news. A whole week where every real piece of news went our way. Every event showed President Trump winning and the various Leftists taking it on the chin. You might ask, so what? Shouldn’t we just take this in stride and move onto the next fight?
No. We should celebrate. We should relish the moment. We should go out to dinner and order something special and if you’re of the persuasion, pop open a bottle of good wine. Call up your friends on our side of the aisle and share a laugh and a pleasant conversation. This doesn’t happen every day. Their side took some pretty heavy shots and their leaders and their followers were noticeably stunned at just how bad things turned out. Guys like James Carville were sounding the alarm. They know just how bad it will be for their side if a Bernie Sanders or even a Pete Buttigieg ends up as their candidate. They’re terrified. And us? We’re elated and confident and expecting it to get even better. And the best part? They know the truth of both sides of it and there’s not a damn thing they can do about it. As I said in an earlier post, impeachment is the last bullet in the gun. If you can’t get a conviction or even a bipartisan effort you’re out of luck. President Trump has actually come out of the trial stronger than he went in. Every effort the Democrats have tried, from the ridiculously partisan show trial in the House to Pelosi’s petulant tearing up of her copy of the SOTU have backfired and made them look dishonest or ridiculous or both.
Next week we’ll have to get back to battling in the trenches with these dishonest swine but for now it’s not only desirable to celebrate it’s necessary. Raise a glass of cheer to President Trump for having the fighting spirit to risk everything to expose these evil clowns for what they are. And toast yourself for not giving up. We’ve got the bastards on the run.
