Golden Fleece

 

  It’s been decades since American politics has seen someone with as much character as the late Wisconsin Senator William Proxmire (D).

Born in 1915, Proxmire’s formative years were based in the Great Depression of the 1920’s and ‘30’s. As with most people living during those times, Proxmire lived his life as though every penny was precious – and they were.

Newspapers cost 2¢, apples were 3¢, gasoline was roughly 18¢, cars went for a lofty $600, while a modest house could be had for $1200, in 1932. Those were Proxmire’s formative years when annual incomes were $1300 for a bus driver, $3100 for a college teacher, $2400 for a dentist, and just over $900 for a construction worker. Throughout the 1930’s, the federal tax rate – based on income – was about 5%.

Times were definitely different nearly 100-years ago, and those tough financial times were not unlike our lives today under a layer of manure called “Bidenomics.” With a complicit media and overly willing Democrat Party lying to the entire world about the economic state of America since 2021, we find ourselves mired waist deep in a stinky mess.

Senator William Proxmire brought something into the federal government during his term from 1975-1988. Throughout those thirteen years he became a celebrity of sorts by exposing unbelievable waste of guvment resources in the form of precious tax dollars.

Senator William Proxmire

Publicly handing out awards meant to shame the wasteful guvment agencies, Proxmire used his position to garner wide publicity for his Golden Fleece Awards.

He handed our 168 of those awards in an attempt to curtail his squandering fellow politicians’ carefree ways of pandering via financial redistribution. Taking scarce tax money from one person to appear beneficial to another is, at best, smarmy. And Proxmire led a campaign to help stop this folly.

In 1975, Proxmire gave a Golden Fleece Award to the Federal Aviation Administration for spending $57,800 ($289,209 inflation adjusted) to study the measurements of 432 airline stewardesses, including the ‘distance from knee to knee while sitting’ and measuring the ‘length of the buttocks,’” per The Washington Post.

Further, The Post stated: “In 1978, The National Institute for Mental Health earned a Fleece award for its $97,000 ($400,489 inflation adjusted) study on the activities inside a Peruvian brothel, where the researchers said repeated visits were made in the interests of accuracy.” You betcha. Wink, wink.

Another look into the sleazy world of guvment via The Washington Post, “In 1977, Proxmire gave an award to the Justice Department for spending $27,000 (119,938 inflation adjusted) to determine ‘why prisoners want to get out of jail.’ In 1979, the Pentagon was recognized for a $3,000 study ($11,123 inflation adjusted) to determine ‘if members of the military should carry umbrellas in the rain.’”

All this sad truth brings us to early 2025, on the cusp of the swearing-in of President-elect Donald J. Trump. Making regular tours across the nation before and since his resounding election in November 2024, Trump has been touting his proposed agenda to help all people while reducing the monumental federal budget deficit and debt.

With critics laughing and giggling while Biden is currently attempting to hamstring Trump’s efforts to save our United States dollar, and subsequently our indebted nation by regaining control of our current economic abyss, America has suffered for the past four-years awaiting Biden’s guaranteed departure from office.

Joining “outside” (read: volunteer, unpaid) forces with brilliant, successful entrepreneurs such as Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, these three are talking about creating the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to take axes to reduce and/or eliminate waste á La Senator Proxmire’s Golden Fleece Award shaming, although with teeth as well as public humiliation.

We’re very close to the reckoning of these plans, and innocent parties are excited. On the other hand, greasy politicians “on the take” are squirming in their oversized leather chairs awaiting their time to exit before their disgrace begins. Of course any public trials will only cement accusations before their prison terms.

There you have it. Senator William Proxmire, long-forgotten crusader for the “little guy” has his true character finally revealed just in time for DOGE and a new, more honest era. I hope he’s watching over Donald Trump, as well as his clean-up crew.

Another Useless Resolution

 

  Just recently turning the page on our annual calendars we find ourselves, once again, struggling for a reason to live until December 31, 2025.

This perennial move often takes on a life of its own because of what I call “special” people. Not to be confused with special people who take the short bus to school, the special people to which I refer are those who are quick to offer advice – “special advice.”

With the advent of the new year, folks far and wide use this changing of the calendar year as a monumental operation.

We used to manually write checks for remittance for utilities, gifts, car payments, and so on. Since the regular use of computers and cell phones, those paper checks are slowly going the way of the dinosaurs. The inherent problem with checks is that the date had to be filled-in manually.

The change into a new year brought along nearly a half-dozen paper checks sporting the wrong year thereby being “VOIDED.” Although not the monumental crisis some check writers would make it out to be, my sainted wife had a tried and true method to prevent such horror from occurring.

It’s New Year’s Eve; imagine the clock ticking down from 11:59 PM on television. Band leader Guy Lombardo along with his musical group, The Royal Canadians, playing Auld Lang Syne were jiving. The camera shot on television panned across the dance floor, and all were wearing festive cardboard hats; Guy gleefully swinging his conductor’s baton as though he was attempting to spear olives in a giant jar.

Comely women wearing sequined gowns, their male companions dressed in equally handsome tuxedos, thousands of balloons with attendees awaiting their release from netting attached to the ballroom ceiling, all quivering due to the din of the stirring music, until we reach the final seconds of this year.

TEN! NINE! EIGHT! SEVEN! SIX! FIVE! FOUR! THREE! TWO! ONE! Followed by an enthusiastic HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! screamed through the TV speaker. It was finally time to wish your significant other a “Happy New Year.”

Anxiously looking forward to a celebratory kiss, along with a stemmed glass of champagne, the TV revelers signaled it was time for some personal pleasantries at home. Suddenly, I noticed my sainted wife was AWOL from the festivities at hand. This only occurred once a year. Where could she be?

At the kitchen table pre-writing the year into the date line of her checkbook, of course. Such efficiency and commitment is rare. Yea!

Which is where this story begins.

Along with celebrating and massive cleanup from the prior night, desperately searching for just one more sip of flat champagne left in a bottle comes the flood of experts who use their sneaky tactics to “help” people like me out.

It seems as though those experts likely didn’t imbibe with Guy on television or at home with anyone other than themselves.

While weeping in their non-alcoholic champagne, they contrived some new way to irritate me, along with the balance of Americans, who suffer from an ailment: Leave me alone – I don’t care! syndrome.

In case you never heard those words before, they actually mean: Leave me alone – I don’t care!

I’m really old, old enough to remember when the Dead Sea was merely sick. Throughout my formative years, I spent decades with Guy Lombardo as well as countless nutritionists, doctors, nurse practitioners, clergy, crazy women, and politicians, all of whom have my good health and well being in their preaching. By the way, if you’re one of the aforementioned professionals reading this, thanks.

So it was with interest that read an article in The New York Post about a group of people who spent New Year’s Eve together to see how annoying they could appear in numbers. This, was the annual, expected news article on resolutions.

‘Annoying’ doesn’t begin to describe the information this gaggle of wannabe celebrities spewed throughout this article.

Photos of ultra-fit well-groomed twenty-and thirty-somethings graced the e-pages of The Post for this well-meaning article, “Can you pass the old man test?”

Some years ago when I was roughly 4-years old, I found myself with a new skill: tying my own shoes. It was a big deal for me because my Mother used to do that for me. But I learned a new talent which propelled me into tying all sorts of things to make my life better.

Eventually, I transformed my once exceptional shoe lace tying skill into a phase of style and comfort when I bought a pair of cordovan penny loafers. At the time they were all the rage. Wearing khaki slacks, a pressed button-down collared cotton shirt, along with my loafers, I became lost in a type of urban camouflage.

Stupid way to don your shoes if you don't own a chair

The key here is that loafers do not have laces and require no tying abilities to wear them. It wasn’t so much the tying part as it was the sleek look that shoes without laces didn’t provide.

But physical trainers from the Old Man Test are, well, arrogant. They seem to think I wear non-laced shoes because I’m unable to tie my own shoes; they are wrong. But it’s the way they expect old farts like me to tie my shoes that chafes me.

I’m expected to lift my leg of choice, and whilst still in the air – balancing on my other leg – I am supposed to be able to tie a knot in the lace of my lifted leg. Closely resembling a stork, if I am unable to secure my laces in such a manner, I am deemed an Old Man.

Here’s some really good information for anyone – ANYONE: if you fall over because you’re standing on one leg, and subsequently fall over, you’ll likely wake up inside an ambulance. Questions about how you arrived here will get harder from this point while in the hospital.

Therefore, knowing better than to lift either leg up high enough to perform any function on my foot, I decided this was merely an exercise in futility. The tests only got better with more reading.

Akin to roadside sobriety tests, this series of ‘I dare you tests’ seemed to evoke a mockery of anyone unable to mimic the actions of these young pukes who like experienced some sort of gratification out of goading senior citizens into performing life-threatening challenges.

And so it goes. More strangers giddy about helping me and other old relics navigating our way through life are suddenly running rampant on the interweb. While I certainly appreciate the advice, I’ll stick to sitting down to don my footwear in lieu of splitting my skull open to prove a point.

To that I challenge those influencers to both get a real job and keep it for more than a gnat’s attention span. As for me: Leave me alone – I don’t care!

 Unto us a Child is born.

A very special Christmas card from the entire staff.

Pardon Me

 

 
In case you’re a regular reader of this brilliant source of information you’ll know that this is one of those rare self-writing stories; you really don’t need to read it to know how the story ends.

For the last four presidential years, Joe Biden has been front and center in a scam to deceive Americans while camouflaged as a kindly grandfather, favorite uncle, or a fond next door neighbor. Along with his vice president sidekick, Kamala Harris, they worked with one another to change the world.

Joe was selected by the people because of his subtle demeanor, while Kamala, on the other hand, was chosen by Joe due to her extraordinary qualifications: race and sex. Who knew?

Joe exited the chute after his swearing-in by signing countless Executive Orders (EOs) to flip the country upside down without the benefit of Congress’ input. That was great for Joe, not so great for the American people, though.

Four years of having the mainstream media (MSM), also known as: the legacy media, complicit with the sleazy Democrat politicians at all levels, in hiding Joe’s mental and physical deficiencies, had resulted in a legislative horror show which was enough.

Willingly allowing criminals into America, Joe quickly created an embarrassment out of law and order. In step with progressive district attorneys, as well as the bitter United States Attorney General, Merrick Garland, they happily thrust their feet into anything that would correct this errant route that was rapidly destroying our once sovereign nation.

Meanwhile, after selecting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) believers for significant roles within the government, racism – albeit reverse racism – took hold everywhere. Damn the knowledge, skills, and abilities criteria, race and sex seemed to be paramount to further extend hate and anger within the ranks, with no reverse gear.

Our military had soldiers at each other’s throats, only minorities were allowed to apply for most federal jobs, while a fellow – Dr. St. Anthony Fauci – took up a hobby of publicly lying to the American people who were in the throes of COVID-19. It was not a nice place to be.

Nonetheless, this self-licking ice cream cone has more turns than Chubby Checker (look him up,) on a skateboard. Smearing Former-President Donald Trump for a lie involving his mishandling of COVID, the media, Democrat politicians, and an odd little elf, Karine Jean-Pierre (KJP) were more than willing to abet the lies that fostered lawsuits against the Republicans and Donald Trump, to stifle another run for office.

Chubby Checker
(I saved you the trouble)

But as the years passed, the emboldened Democrats, along with First Son, Hunter Biden, found themselves deeper and deeper in lies, graft, and corruption.

The MSM hid the trials and convictions of Hunter that were leading a direct path to kind Uncle Joe and his Biden Organized Crime Family members who were in for millions of dollars from a variety of foreign countries, as well as the military industrial complex. The smokescreen was enhanced to better hide the evidence.

Nearing the 2024 elections, this poop hurricane kept growing larger and larger by the minute. With Joe summarily displaced by the powers-that-be, and Kamala preparing to assume his throne, the fix was apparently in.

Her amateurish campaign drove a nearly $2 billion war chest into a $20 million dollar deficit within a few short months; four to be exact.

Unfortunately, Joe and his media buddies were busy dodging hard questions from the likes of Fox News as well as Newsmax, regarding Joe's possibility of pardoning Hunter for his crimes. Firearms deceit, and money laundering, were just two of the charges for which Hunter was convicted.

Nearly daily, White House pressers asked KJP about Joe’s possible pardoning of Hunter for his flagrant crime spree. Each time it was met with arrogance and indignancy from KJP. Adamant Joe was not going to grant – or even consider – a pardon for Hunter, The White House considered this story dead-on-arrival.

Until Thanksgiving weekend, that is. It seems as though Joe had an epiphany that weekend. He decided that his Organized Crime Family had suffered enough and he needed to save his tortured son from further embarrassment.

The Punchline: Our kindly grandfather, uncle, and fond next-door neighbor had decided to pardon his son, Hunter, for ANY and ALL crimes for a ten-year period. Ain’t that special?

Suddenly, the words “pardon me” take on a whole new meaning.

Here’s the kicker. He’s now also contemplating pardoning his entire Organized Crime Family for their legal shortcomings, along with those of Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, and Dr. St. Anthony Fauci. But why?

For four-years, they Left has pled ‘not guilty’ to any cover-ups by these political degenerates. So, if there is no crime, from what are they being pardoned?

Of course there’s more to this story, and you can probably write it yourself. But I’d rather you return to read it here.

Dodging a Bullet

 

  History is usually a good barometer of what tomorrow holds. Hurricanes, for example, have been with us since the advent of time. Throughout those eons, special people decided to keep records of those usually devastating storms to form a pattern to hopefully prevent future annihilation.

Along the way, these analysts discovered pattern in rain storms, snow events, droughts, and tornadoes, all combining to give mankind a better vision of what we now call “weather.” Such studies and records have been helping mitigate extensive damage as well as loss of lives.

Equally important to history is how it can be applied to other important events in our lives that are touched day-in and day-out.

This is also where most activities such as sports teams rewinding their game videos to see where improvement is needed, and to doctors trying to decipher why their patients are now unexpectedly deceased, can be modified for future endeavors, hoping for better successes next time.

Using this as a segue, we arrive at what recent history for which America has been begging to examine: the 2024 elections.

It seems as though nearly every four-years we dissect presidential elections because the hapless press – the legacy media – have a dirty habit of ignoring what they want to ignore, reporting what they want to report, and fabricate what they want to fabricate. And this election is no different.

Sitting president, Joe Biden, was doing his best impression of a jellyfish trying to climb a ladder, for four-years. The legacy media did their best to hide most shortcomings during Biden’s free reign. Unfortunately, a public display during a live debate could not be manipulated leaving the public aghast.

He needed to be replaced, and pronto. With heavy financial donors throwing money at the problem, Biden felt secure in that he was beloved. I dare say he was merely being bought by deep-pocketed special interest types seeking four more years of riding the federal gravy train to more graft and corruption.

In a flaccid effort to summarily replace Joe with a viable candidate, the powers-that-be were forced to look elsewhere to find that special candidate. They, not unlike Joe did in 2020, discovered how well diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) works in real life. (Hint: It doesn’t.)

Handily selecting Joe’s current vice president, Kamala Harris, appeared as the best way to soothe the irritation from non-Harris devotees. But why not choose her? Harris is the definitive example of a DEI hire: chock full o’ razzle dazzle backed by little in the way of substance.

Flying out of the gate like an antsy thoroughbred racehorse, Harris took to the cameras just like a seasoned media whore. Flitting from one camera to another, she quickly made the rounds of niche podcasts, and television interviews with friendly hosts who not only threw the ball, but also blocked any potential linemen who might cause a fumble.

Her anointment by Democrat Party bigwigs went seamlessly during the timely Democrat National Convention. (DNC).

In fact, all the nearly $1,000,000,000 that Joe Biden had ‘raised’ was quickly transferred to Harris’ campaign coffers to be spent in her guaranteed win against candidate Donald Trump.

Playing the race card along with the sex card – she’s black and a woman – with aplomb, Harris took to the campaign trail with great enthusiasm.

With only four-months to attempt to become “likable” to the voters, Harris traveled to Pennsylvania and Michigan repeatedly.

Mo' money needed to help Kamala 
learn about economics

Now with a war chest containing $1,400,000,000, Harris ran countless ads, to the point of nausea. She also seemingly popped up like the proverbial turd in the punch bowl every time the TV was on.

Daytime talk shows, late night programs, comedy skit venues, cable information programs masquerading as news offerings featured her, as did her many rallies using celebrities including Oprah Winfrey, Beyoncé, George Clooney, Cher, among other has-beens, to generate more ebullience.

What was a secret was that these pro-Harris sycophants were being paid handsomely. It was reported Oprah was paid $1,000,000 to appear on behalf of her close personal friend, Kamala. Ms. Winfrey denied she received any money. But reports continue that she was actually given $2,000,000, which her “production company” got in the form of production costs. Wink, wink.

We are now resting in our plush recliners listening to the Harris-for-President campaign carping that although the donated money was all spent, it was likely misspent.

But this is the sad part. If you spent a dollar each second – weekends, holidays, day and night, for 31-years, you would not be able to spend one-billion dollars. Yet, Harris and her buddies did so in four months. Four months!!!

The funny part is that those same blood suckers who threw your political campaign money down the garbage disposal are now begging for more of your hard-earned cash to pay the $20,000,000 overage they spent and need to repay. I’ll wait while you let that sink in.

These are the people Harris supporters were hoping would get into the drivers’ seat of guvment. Without a clue how to manage money, they were delighted to spend your donations faster than a drunken sailor. My apologies to drunker sailors.

You see, giving free cell phones to criminals, as well as debit cards, housing, meals, and transportation to illegal immigrants, while paying hundreds of billions of dollars to wealthy families for college tuition loans, giving vouchers to EV buyers, and three free meals plus day care to well-to-do families, are from the same hands that have no desire to spend your tax dollars wisely.

This history lesson should be etched into everyone’s memory for future use when the 2028, 2032, 2036, and so forth, elections occur. Believe me, the only things that will change in the future are the amounts of frivolous money that will be wasted.

Another bullet dodged. Please help Kamala Harris by donating mo’ money AND a job. A real job.

Aftermath

   They hate you, and they’re deaf.

This is likely where you’re asking yourself, “To whom is this old fart referring?”

Glad you asked.

We recently finished with an election cycle that seemingly lasted for years; that’s because it did.

Leading up to the early midsummer debate, Democrats were agog that their candidate was a well-liked incumbent. Of course, you know the rest of this story.

Joseph Robinette Biden performed so poorly that buzzards appeared to hover above the stage awaiting a fresh meal. His opponent, Donald J. Trump, seemingly ice skated through debate, looking like a gold medal Winter Olympian.

Immediately thereafter, the mainstream media (MSM) were complicit with the usual characters shading any and all deficiencies exhibited by Biden. If you didn’t watch the debate, you would believe Biden left Trump weeping, in a fetal position, on the stage.

For days thereafter, the MSM handily controlled the narrative of each and every news cycle praising Biden for using only a small portion of his well-honed debating skills – skills that Biden himself insisted propelled him through his half-century guvment career.

Meanwhile, that same media cabal derided Trump, calling him names while referring to him as “weird,” “Hitler,” “Nazi,” and “a fascist.”

It was an historic time in that such vitriol as this had never been witnessed before. Ever. Trump needed to be removed from considered for the presidency, he should not be allowed to be able to impose his bigoted, racist, fascist, misogynistic, and xenophobic policies. Period.

In fact, two unstable individuals attempted to assassinate Trump, perhaps a gesture of saving civilization from the MSM manufactured idea of an ogre. Although the average American could not define a fascist, they knew one when they saw one – or were told what a fascist was supposed to be.

In any case, Democrat politicians were quick to Biden’s defense to assure us our lying eyes were, well, lying. What we saw during the bloodbath – uh, debate – was merely a seasoned politician having a “bad night.” Sure.

News readers on CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, NPR, and the like, eagerly assured any attentive American that Biden was “at the top of his game,” with the White House Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, averting 80-year old Biden regularly ran circles around youngsters much like herself. You betcha.

This is what a normal, polite society refers to as “lack of candor.” In other words, “lying.”

Everyone knew what they saw, as well as what was happening before their very eyes. Sane people were hoping Biden and Dr. Jill were shopping for a nursing home.

But because Trump was taking the lead by leaps and bounds, more slander and libel were in order. Since assassin’s bullets were ineffective and the narrative was weak, much more drastic methods were called for in order to protect all the lofty accomplishments Biden and his puppeteer made thus far.

After all, we had auto manufacturers cranking out electric vehicles (EVs), the military successfully getting soldiers infighting between the races, arguing over tribalism in society, screaming demands for murdering more babies, students insisting all Jews should be exterminated, a proxy war with Russia, and foreign countries buying up copious tracts of American farm land. How great is all that?

Skipping ahead to the 2024 elections, the Democrats somehow realized not all the American people were as stupid as they made them out to be. Resorting to attacking not only Trump, but the voters themselves, Dems attempted to shame people for ‘voting their conscience.’ We’ll have none of that stuff around here!

Pulling the rug out from Biden enroute to the election, the smarmy Democrats magically substituted his current vice president, Kamala Harris, for the presidential ticket. Harris was generally thought to be an “empty suit,” mere window dressing because of her annoying laugh and her gift for talking down to adults.

Considering herself the smartest person in any room, she came off as arrogant, especially during interviews when asked tough questions. She often quickly turned the tables on the interviewer in attempt to appear superior. Thank goodness she was usually unsuccessful.

This public display of the real Kamala Harris ultimately led to her political demise. Not answering questions, being verbally combative, with a dash of haughtiness all contributed to helping voters decide for whom to cast their ballot. She never held an actual press conference during her abbreviated presidential run. She did, however, spend lots of time on friendly-territory mass media venues fielding softball questions.

Financially challenged Oprah Winfrey

Even Oprah, and some unknown, Sunny Hostin, desperately attempted to save Harris during awkward television interviews by throwing Harris verbal opportunities in the form of life preservers. It’s too bad Harris was overly self-consumed to feel she needed saving.

And now we have arrived at the point of new names and titles being issued: President-Elect Donald J. Trump, Vice President- Elect J.D. Vance, Former Vice President Kamala Harris, along with campaign assistants Has-Been Barack Hussein Obama, Check Cashing Beyoncé, Meaningless Michelle Obama, and Wanna-be Influencers Joy Bayhar, Whoopi Goldberg, plus MSNBC’s sycophantic Morning Joe Scarborough and his sidekick, Mika.

Normal people would take this opportunity to regroup in an effort to gather information as a way to analyze why this landslide victory went to Donald Trump. But you should note that I began this paragraph with the word “Normal.”

The Democratic Left is looking at the voters and see one thing: imbecility. Yes, they think you are too stupid to come out of the rain.

Throughout the entire election campaign season we heard pollsters tell us what were the biggest issues on people’s minds. Those polls repeatedly ranked in this order: economy, inflation, and illegal immigration.

On the other hand, Leftist Democrats insisted people were more concerned with: aborting babies, environmental issues, aborting babies, aiding Palestine, keeping America’s borders open to all, as well as aborting babies.

As is evident, those are two divergent views to taxpayers, and the votes reflected the desires of discerning voters.

Here we are a few weeks after the people have spoken. Republicans are eager to fix the things the Biden administration had intentionally broken over the last four-years. Dems are doubling down insisting they didn’t yell loudly enough.

California’s Gavin Newsom, Massachusetts’ Maura Healey, Illinois’ J.B. Pritzker, and Colorado’s Jared Polis, are among the gaggle of sour grapes state governors who are doubling-down on inferring voters weren’t smart enough to know what they want or need.

Making very public announcements countering President-Elect Trump’s plan to summarily manage and/or oust illegal immigrants, those aforementioned governors insist they will use troops, if necessary, to protect their illegal residents at the expense of legal, taxpaying residents.

Keep in mind, that pesky “rule of law” thing should still apply, although it must now be on vacation when talking about who is going to be at America’s helm.

There you have it. Most of the Democrat leaders don’t care about your health and well-being at the cost of pandering to the voters. Damn the crime, influx of deadly fentanyl and other drugs, along with sexual assaults of children.

I told you: they hate you, and they’re deaf.
