Lightning Round, April 2019


Bizarre science: Who could have imagined that one of the greatest discoveries in modern medicine is the fecal transplant?  If you thought the greatest gift one person could give another is either a kidney or dinner, you're only partly correct, and thus enters the person-to-person fecal transplant to quickly cure specific internal medicine issues. . . . . .If Julian Assange is extradited to the United States, his attorney should insist that his interrogation be conducted in Chicago, using something similar to a Jussie Smollett defense, whatever that is (but nevertheless apparently successful). . . . . .We assume Chelsea Manning will greet Assange at the airport, decked out in "her" party-atmosphere finery. . . . . .Did we hear on "Full Measure" that, even though the foot-dragging FDA is "studying" the curse of televised pharmaceutical commercials, the FDA may indeed allow drug companies to provide LESS televised information regarding side-effects?  We hope Big Pharma is not allowed to stomp out cheaper generic drugs and time-tested remedies in order to promote newer medications which haven't even been tested long-term for their efficacy (or publicly unreported deadly consequences). . . . . .We also tire of dumb TV commercials with people who are or portray physicians with stethoscopes around their necks to make an identity point.  Should they also show doctors' colorful ties infested with mashed potatoes from lunchtime at the hospital cafeteria, where we ourselves have witnessed such activities? . . . . . .Nancy Pelosi attempts in interviews to make the case that the Democrats are not socialists.  WTF?  Now that the party has drifted into utter lunacy, there's nary a Democrat candidate running who isn't as radical as they come.  Even Indiana "Mayor Pete" Buttigieg, despite a litany of accomplishments, is cruising on the radical treadmill -- and friendly old Bernie Sanders isn't only shouting "democratic socialist," he's about as communist as one can be in the U.S., determined to make everything big government. . . . . .we like Trump's idea about sending criminal aliens to criminal "sanctuary cities," and we would look forward to a day when the governors and mayors of these highly illegal places are hauled off to prison while aliens in hiding are found and deported.  Funny how taxpayers of sanctuary cities are never given a vote, a referendum on whether they want to pay enormous sums to support this dangerous fantasy while their own kids, education, health care and other benefits intended for CITIZENS decline. . . . . .Meanwhile, the Democrat-dominated NY State legislature ponied up millions of dollars to college-educate illegal aliens, while denying the children of military service members killed in action free college tuition at state colleges and universities.  Megalomaniac Democrat NY governor Cuomo gasps in shock, insisting he wants this overturned, but laws would first need to be changed.  Truth is, the damage has been done, and even if Democrats reverse themselves, the first move they made is the one that counts to forever darken their already evil image in NY. . . . . .Oops, what is this with cops mistakenly pulling out guns instead of tasers to take suspects down?  Do the right thing and get rid of tasers altogether so the police can keep some mighty fine firearms and know with confidence that when they need to shoot somebody they have exactly the right equipment. . . . . .College hazing deaths on the increase:  Yeah, but aren't the persons being hazed all part of the same fraternities of morons?  Equals among equals?  We thought the word, "NO" was all the rage on campuses now, and if you're smart enough to be in college you should be smart enough to decline potentially fatal drinking contests or cleverly stupid ass-wupping fantasies. Sue?  Sue who?. . . . . .The Cathedral of Notre Dame:  Yes, we know, but the fact is, there have been numerous attempts by radical followers of Islam to destroy the structure, so who knows?. . . . . .The evening news programs on major TV networks are merely half-hour commercials for the Democrat Party.  Congrats, sold-out journalists. . . . . ."Some people did something" on 9/11.  Yes they did, Congresswoman, and Trump's release of the video is needed to educate young Americans who have not a clue about the people or the something, and no matter how you couch it, extremist Islam is the face of evil. . . . . .Automation continues to assure fewer jobs in the future, so what are we supposed to do with the invasion of illegals who will be a nation-destroying burden?  Black Americans should be especially outraged because (1) they have been let down horribly by the Democrats, as usual, by this tragic influx and (2) illegals will take jobs that poor black people need, particularly in the South and Southwest. . . . . .Looking so-o-o-o forward to Barr's release of Mueller's report AND the Horowitz report due soon, and if all of this spikes even more investigations of LEFT-affiliated national crimes, good.
