I’ve mentioned it before - there are times when someone posts something so ridiculous that it’s easy to remember. Do you expect that I will have to peruse any prior posts to recall you giving us a picture of CC Sabathia claiming it was George Scott? Of course not. You, Redhawk, and Roundy are not necessarily an exclusive club, but you do make things easy.

It still amazes me that the Cult of Trump managed to spin the following established facts into a criminal conspiracy that TRUMP would reveal: - Trump had a long relationship with Epstein, who was a frequent guest at Mar-a-Lago - Epstein got a sweetheart plea deal from Alex Acosta, who was then offered a position in Trump's cabinet - Epstein was found dead while in the custody of Trump's Bureau of Prisons - Ghislaine Maxwell arrested, and Trump quips "I wish her well" - Trump hires Alan Dershowitz - Dershowitz's former accuser, Virginia Giuffre, weirdly recants and says maybe it wasn't he who raped her after all (she confused him with another yellow-toothed goblin?) - Virginia Giuffre kills herself. And now add: - Trump's AG/FBI Director have determined that there is nothing of interest in Epstein's files and that he did, in fact, commit suicide And somehow the Cult says it's all about ... Bill Clinton? Who was last president a quarter century ago? I mean, it isn't too difficult to construct a fine and simple conspiracy theory around those facts, right? And yet we have the bizarro Hillary Clinton baby-eating cult as the favored one.

HOW DARE HE DINE WITH THE PRESIDENT: Scott Jennings: The Elites Sent a Message to Maher — And Everyone Else. “This isn’t about the dinner that Bill Maher had with Donald Trump a couple of weeks ago. It’s about the next dinner invitation that Maher or anyone else receives. The Left — especially the entertainment-industry and mainstream-media Left — will launch a vicious character-assassination campaign against anyone who dares to engage with the political opposition.” This was a bigger threat back when people cared what the entertainment industry and the “mainstream-media” Left thought. Also, the left’s childish “Mean Girls” style efforts at ostracism are just, well, childish and should be punished. Send them to bed without their supper, by which I mean bankrupt their corrupt, incompetent industries. https://hotair.com/ed-morrissey/2025/04/22/scott-jennings-the-elites-send-a-message-to-maher-n3802005 -
Listen, I was a fan of George “Boomer” Scott. Along with Dick Allen he was styling before it was fashionable by wearing a helmet in the field. An outstanding player. For anyone, let alone an expert on everything (no, I’m not talking about you, it’s Frankish) to mistake him for the great and enormous CC Sabathia simply because both are men of color, is nothing short of offensive. And idiotic.

AWESOME! The one next to NYU! I go there a couple times a month just for the upstate NY nostalgia! Zohran picked up the Bernie Sanders endorsement yesterday, so now he’s ready to roll for this coming Tuesday. It will be an all-hands-on-deck canvassing adventure over the final weekend. We still need volunteers in the Bronx, FYI…for any progressive PPP lurkers out there… My official ranked-choice top-5 vote for Tuesday: 1. Zohran Mamdani 2. Brad Lander 3. Zellnor Myrie 4. Scott Stringer 5. Adrienne Adams It’s super strategic if you’re a progressive: Zohran #1, all 5 spots filled, no Cuomo listed, and Adrienne Adams as an emergency anti-Cuomo centrist rally candidate.

The Democrats Declare War on the Obama Boys Scott Pinsker FTA: This morning — at 5 a.m. on the flippin’ dot! — NBC News dropped a triple-bylined, 40+ paragraph bombshell: “Obama world loses its shine in a changing, hurting Democratic Party” (I think there’s a typo in the title? Maybe they meant “Obama world loses its shine in a changing climate,” or something like that. Nonetheless…) Folks, NBC News was obviously working on this story for a very long time. They had three journalists collaborating on it, including Jonathan Allen and Natasha Korecki, their “senior national political reporters.” They name-dropped 50 or so people in the first 30 paragraphs. Donors, activists, and big-time operatives were all interviewed. Pro Tip: When liberal journalists use a phrase like “high priests of their party’s politics,” you KNOW it’s gonna be followed by an angry slam. When your default setting is hostility to religion, you’re not using a phrase like “high priest” out of reverence, but out of snark. The Democrats are furious. The Democratic Finger-Pointing Game continues: At first, it was all Kamala Harris’s fault, but her people (correctly) pointed out that Biden’s ineptitude torpedoed her chances. Then the finger was pointed at Biden, but his people (correctly) pointed out that he’s just a sick old man who did the best he could. So now, they’re blaming the people who put Biden in power: The Obama boys. https://pjmedia.com/scott-pinsker/2025/05/27/the-dems-declare-war-on-the-obama-boys-n4940178

So tell me, Scott, how does it feel to have your Defense Secretary have a live-chat of actual, to the moment, battle plans with just anyone he can drunkenly find to listen? I mean you hawkish Republicans surely know more about war plans than the rest of us, so please fill us idiots in. -
Elon's Scheduled Temporary Special Employment Ends!
4th&long replied to BillsFanNC's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Are these the savings they claim to make only to walk back later? Does it include the people they fired and paid to sit home and do nothing and then to try to force them back to work when they realized they needed them? Does this include Musk shoving Scott bessent when he called Musk out for not saving the trillions Musk promised? You don't believe that happened? That blonde press secretary admitted it. Look it up. Or it's this that Maga knows all and I just have TDS? It sounds to me like you are they one who can't read facts. $175 billion is nice but only a drop in the bucket of what this govt spends and will be quickly wiped out by the big dumb bill that took from the poor to pay the rich and will add trillions to the deficit. Clown show. -
If he were Israeli intelligence, it would explain a lot. I’ll be watching for Allen Dershowitz name. He did a political 180 a few years back and has been implicated. Ghislane’s father, Maxwell died under mysterious circumstances. Finally, the Israelis ran a very successful spy campaign with a supposedly wealthy socialite until he was captured and hung. https://www.timesofisrael.com/mossad-head-reveals-how-syria-found-eli-cohen-discloses-spys-final-message/amp/ amazing story albeit less salacious.

There will be NO dissent from the Democrat Party Narrative The Coup Against Sen. Fetterman Is Officially Underway by Scott Pinsker “Kindness is the beginning of cruelty.” —Frank Herbert Three years ago, the Democratic Party nominated John Fetterman to the Senate, despite his significant health problems. It wasn’t a secret: Fetterman’s brain trauma was on full display during his horrendous debate against Dr. Mehmet Oz, where he stammered, stuttered, and (repeatedly) lost his train of thought. Fetterman won anyway, beating Oz by nearly 5% points, helping the Democrats flip the only Senate seat of the 2022 midterms, giving the Donkeys control of the Senate for the first time since 2015. It was an important election — and a Faustian bargain. In order to wrest control of the Senate away from the Republicans, they had to link their future to a brain-damaged man. Just six weeks after taking office, Fetterman checked himself into the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for clinical depression. He was hospitalized for over a month. No matter: Even though Fetterman is routinely AWOL (he’s missed more votes than any other senator), when he’s there, he votes the way his party elders demand. At least, he used to. But after breaking with the party on issues such as Israel and (gasp!) voting for a few Trump nominees, the liberal base is in a tizzy. They feel betrayed. And now they’re planning a coup. https://pjmedia.com/scott-pinsker/2025/05/03/the-coup-against-sen-fetterman-is-officially-underway-n4939461

There's the cave, and it isn't China announcing it: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent expects the U.S. and China to begin de-escalating their trade hostilities in the “very near future,” he said at an event in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday organized by JPMorgan, a person in the room told Barron’s. Those tariffs are “an embargo on both sides” that effectively ends trade between the U.S. and China, Bessent said, according to the person. But Bessent added that the goal isn’t for the U.S. and China to decouple their economies. Rather, he believes the unsustainable tariff situation is likely to drive both the U.S. and China to recalibrate their trade relationship. That would begin a potentially difficult set of negotiations.

Explaining ‘America First’ to Dolts, Dummies, and Democrats. Scott Pinsker Ah, from Orwellian “Newspeak” to the P.C. excesses of modern-day feminism: The English language is constantly evolving. It’s why middle-aged guys need a decoder ring to understand what the hell teenagers are saying. (Teenagers: “Uh, what’s a decoder ring?”) “Mansplaining” is one of our most recent Frankenstein-language creations. In the annals of feminism, few misdeeds are greater than the crime of mansplaining. It’s mostly defined along the lines of “explaining something to a woman in a condescending way that assumes she has no knowledge about the topic.” Yet oddly enough, these same liberals are absolutely delighted to tell MAGA voters what MAGA is all about: what it is, what it stands for, and what we should think about foreign policy. ( you really see this silliness here on PPP) “Mansplaining” is an evil, awful crime against humanity; “Libsplaining” is bravely speaking truth to power… something, something. Sensing an opportunity to split the MAGA base, the mainstream media has been working overtime to redefine “America First.” Consider the headlines from just the past week: (13 examples at the link) Well, garsh! I mean, who’s better qualified than Al Jazeera, MSNBC, and Vanity Fair to really understand all the nuances of the MAGA movement? (And not to mention, the inner workings of Donald Trump’s brain?) Clearly, these are the guys we should turn to for an unbiased, even-handed, fair-and-balanced analysis of the man they’ve been swearing was “literally Hitler” for over a decade. But, like many things, there is a kernel of truth to the media’s contention. “Greatness” — i.e. “Make America Great Again” — is an abstract standard: What one man considers great, another considers mediocre. And given the enormous complexities of foreign policy, the Middle East, and competing risk/reward calculations, there are ample opportunities for conflicting opinions. That’s not necessarily a bad thing: A good, stable movement isn’t threatened by debate; it’s strengthened by it. For a political movement to survive, it needs to adapt, evolve, and grow with its target audience. https://pjmedia.com/scott-pinsker/2025/06/23/explaining-america-first-to-dolts-dummies-and-democrats-and-sadly-to-tucker-carlson-n4941082

Neera Tanden Tried to Compare Tesla Attacks and J6. It Did Not End Well For Her. By Leah Barkoukis CNN’s Scott Jennings schooled Neera Tanden after the former Biden administration official brought up January 6 during a discussion about the attacks on Tesla vehicles, dealerships, and charging stations nationwide over Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration. That’s when Tanden followed up with a response about the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. “So, when they do it to a Tesla dealership, it’s really bad. But when they do it to the halls of Congress, we should pardon them? Is that your position?” she asked. But Jennings said it was clear she had no idea what his position on January 6 is and went on to “educate” her. After calling out her “condescending” behavior, he brought her up to speed on his position. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2025/03/19/scott-jennings-neera-tanden-n2654063

I want to make fun of you but I truly pity your lack of awareness of the world. Politicians understand how to maintain control of their little fiefdoms. My congressman is so boring because no one in my district wants to be embarrassed where next door they have Maxwell who spouts off on everything because they just want someone to say something. Few care how they maintain. -
Scott Jennings appreciation thread
B-Man replied to Big Blitz's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Here's what Scott Jennings had to say regarding Booker's fake filibuster : It is a feat of longevity. I’m not sure what the point of it is. He didn’t stop any legislation. He didn’t hold up any nominations. He said it was a moral moment. So I guess, you know, as a Republican, I infer that he thinks half the country is immoral. And that kind of messaging to me is exactly what's been plaguing the Democrats for - certainly in the last election and the last several months is this idea, this hatefulness towards your fellow Americans because they chose a different party or voted a different way. And our own Harry Enten reported that Congressional Democrats have a 21 percent approval rating, so in some respects there's nowhere to go but up. And Cory Booker, I think, is trying to fill a vacuum. There's no real leadership nationally in the Democratic Party. Obviously, they don't have any confidence in Schumer, they've had a lot of radical voices out there who are trying to take control of the party. So maybe this was an attempt by him to try to wrest control of at least the spiritual leadership of the national party. I don't know if it will work. https://redstate.com/sister-toldjah/2025/04/01/scott-jennings-puts-the-cory-booker-speech-record-in-perspective-with-some-hard-truths-for-democrats-n2187400 -

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told the NY Economy Club: “The first time I went to see President Trump he looked at me and said ‘how do we get this debt and deficit down without killing the economy?’ ... I’ve been thinking about this for 18 months and [the way to do it is] the transition from a public sector to private sector [driven economy] … 25 percent of GDP goes through [Washington DC] Area code 202.”
