Trump And The Media

Received via email:

Lunch with the Pope

President-elect Trump invited the Pope for lunch on his mega yacht.
The Pope accepted and during lunch, a puff of wind blew the Pontiff's hat off, right into the water.

It floated off about 50 feet, then the wind died down and it just floated in place.

The crew and the secret service were scrambling to launch a boat to go get it, when Trump waved them off, saying, "Never mind, boys, I'll get it."

The Donald climbed over the side of the yacht, walked on the water to the hat, picked it up, walked back on the water, climbed into the yacht, and handed the Pope his hat.

The crew was speechless. The security team and the Pope's entourage were speechless.

No one knew what to say, not even the Pope.

But that afternoon, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN reported:

"TRUMP CAN'T SWIM!"

Updated Abbott And Costello

FreeThinke's comment at at my blog yesterday — after the release of the horrible job numbers for May 2016:

ABBOTT and COSTELLO'S BRILLIANT EXPLANATION of a CRUCIAL ISSUE

COSTELLO: I want to talk about the unemployment rate in America .

ABBOTT: Good Subject. Terrible Times. It’s 5.6%.

COSTELLO: That many people are out of work?

ABBOTT: No, that’s 23%.

COSTELLO: You just said 5.6%.

ABBOTT: 5.6% Unemployed.

COSTELLO: Right 5.6% out of work.

ABBOTT: No, that’s 23%.

COSTELLO: Okay, so it’s 23% unemployed.

ABBOTT: No, that’s 5.6%.

COSTELLO: WAIT A MINUTE. Is it 5.6% or 23%?

ABBOTT: 5.6% are unemployed. 23% are out of work.

COSTELLO: If you are out of work you are unemployed.

ABBOTT: No, Obama said you can’t count the “Out of Work” as the unemployed. You have to look for work to be unemployed.

COSTELLO: BUT THEY ARE OUT OF WORK!!!

ABBOTT: No, you miss his point.

COSTELLO: What point?

ABBOTT: Someone who doesn’t look for work can’t be counted with those who look for work. It wouldn’t be fair.

COSTELLO: To whom?

ABBOTT: The unemployed.

COSTELLO: But ALL of them are out of work.

ABBOTT: No, the unemployed are actively looking for work. Those who are out of work gave up looking and if you give up, you are no longer in the ranks of the unemployed.

COSTELLO: So if you’re off the unemployment roles that would count as less unemployment?

ABBOTT: Unemployment would go down. Absolutely!

COSTELLO: The unemployment just goes down because you don’t look for work?

ABBOTT: Absolutely it goes down. That’s how it gets to 5.6%. Otherwise it would be 23%.

COSTELLO: Wait, I got a question for you. That means there are two ways to bring down the unemployment number?

ABBOTT: Two ways is correct.

COSTELLO: Unemployment can go down if someone gets a job?

ABBOTT: Correct.

COSTELLO: And unemployment can also go down if you stop looking for a job?

ABBOTT: Bingo.

COSTELLO: So there are two ways to bring unemployment down, and the easier of the two is to have people stop looking for work.

ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like a Democrat.

COSTELLO: I don’t even know what the hell I just said!

ABBOTT: Now you’re thinking like Hillary!

Wry Humor

Picture Of The Day

PhotoShopped or not, it is accurate and sums up both the domestic and the foreign policy of the Obama administration (hat tip to Randy's Roundtable):

Your Weekend Funny

This Sums It Up

With a hat tip to Right Truth:

Weekend Humor (Or Not)

But not so funny, particularly on the heels of Friday's news of the downgrade of the United States credit rating (Click directly on the image below to enlarge it):


On a very serious and somber note, watch the following video from the Wall Street Journal:

What Politicians Mean By "Austerity"

With a hat tip to Randy's Roundtable:

As Woodsterman pointed out in the comment thread at Randy's site:

Have you ever seen one of them [a politician] miss a paycheck?

Irony

Especially in these days of budget crunches at all levels of government.

Another Obama Photo-Op

Sort of (hat tip to Moonbattery):



The dialogue bubble is accurate, huh?

What's more - Obama doesn't care the economic legacy his administration is bestowing on all of us.

Prophetic Video

Especially since the firing of Juan Williams by NPR (hat tip to Creeping Sharia):


The above video was made in 2007.

How far down the slide of dhimmitude we have gone since 2007!

Sometimes You Have To Smile

Look where the bedbug epidemic is now.

The EPA and Customs and Border Protection have offices in the same building.

Anti-Obama Obituary

Oh, Yeah!

From RP Free Speech of Another Thousand Words (Click directly on the image to enlarge it):



And what has to be the quote of the week (hat tip to Warren):

Let me put this bluntly: virtually no one in America gives a damn what Barack Obama says about anything at this point. What could be more predictable, and less interesting, than Obama’s opinion on any given subject? Who wants to contemplate the economic wisdom of a guy who looted the Treasury for a trillion dollars, with less benefit than we could have achieved by stuffing hundred dollar bills into random cereal boxes? Who’s excited to hear about the next plan to convert taxpayer dollars into Democrat campaign funds? Who’s hungry for another hour of tedious excuses about permanently broken markets and the titanic dead hand of George W. Bush? Who wants a lecture on ethical business practices from the titular head of the party that gave us Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters? What use is another hollow foreign-policy speech from a man who sees no global adversary to rival the menace of Arizona? Even Obama’s supporters don’t hear anything he says any more. There’s nothing left to hear.

Michelle Obama Satirized In Thailand?

With a hat tip to Z!:



Remember when the Dems used to say that foreign nations despised GWB's cowboy ways and that America was a laughing stock overseas?

Well, looks as if BHO and his wife are laughing stocks there too. Heh.

Remember Saturday Morning Cartoons?
