We haven’t picked on you for a couple of weeks Chris, but that doesn’t mean you’ve been forgotten.

Mike Rowe – “It’s a Dirty Job ‘Taking a Liberal to School’
Mike Rowe of “Dirty Jobs” fame, and now with his “MikeRoweWorks Foundation“, does not suffer liberal foolishness lightly. See his “real world schooling” of Twitter troll Chuck Atkins. It’s a dirty job, Mike, and we sure are glad you’re willing to do it.
Twitter troll Chuck Atkins says…
“One of the tenants of white nationalism is that college educated people are academic elitests. Comment? No? I’m not surprised. You never take a political stand because you don’t want to alienate anybody. Its bad for business. I get it. But there is a current of anti intellectualism in this country – promoted by Republicans. Those people love you, and they think your initiative is their initiative. Meanwhile, the rest of the world is kickin our ass academically.”
And Mike’s reply to Chuck…
Since we’re being candid, allow me to say how much I dislike your post. Everything about it annoys me – your smug and snarky tone, your appalling grammar, your complete lack of evidence to support your claims, and of course, the overarching logical fallacy that informs your entire position. What really bugs me though, is the fact that you’re not entirely wrong. It’s true; I haven’t shared any political opinions this week, in part anyway, because doing so might very well be “bad for business.”
What can I say? I work for half-a-dozen different companies, none of whom pay me to share my political opinions. I run a non-partisan foundation, I’m about to launch a new show on Facebook, and I’m very aware that celebrities pay a price for opening their big fat gobs. Gilbert Gottfried, Kathy Griffin, Colin Kaepernick, Milo Yiannopoulos…even that guy from Google who just got himself fired for mouthing off. There’s no getting around it – the first amendment does not guarantee the freedom to speak without consequences. And really, that’s fine by me.
So no – I’m not going to share my personal feelings about Charlottesville, President Trump, or the current effort to remove thousands of statues of long dead soldiers from the public square. Not just because it’s “bad for business,” but because it’s annoying. I can’t think of a single celebrity whose political opinion I value, and I’m not going to assume the country feels any differently about mine. So, rather than blow myself up, or chime in with all the obvious observations about the cowardly scum in the pointy hats, I’m going to talk instead about my belief that comments like yours pose a far greater threat to the future of our country than the existence of a memorial to Thomas Jefferson, or a monument to George Washington. Ready? Let’s start with a closer look at your claims.
Trump’s Phoenix Speech Excerpted
Do you really need to know anything else?
Liberty – “Is It Safe?”
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
Sympathy For The Devil – Steve Bannon’s My Name

Chicken Run – Donald J. Trump Style
For every meme liberals come up with in an attempt to ‘dog'(or chicken?) President Donald Trump, it somehow goes awry, biting them in their hypocritical butts. First there was the CNN WWF Throwdown, and now we have your White House lawn “Chicken Run” meme. Move over Foghorn Leghorn, the Democrats have arrived.

#DTS – Senate August R & R
The “Repeal and Replace” of ObamaCare turned out to be a bridge too far for Senate Republicans to walk while talking the talk. Not mentioning the fact that they only had 7 lousy years to figure it out. So….Let’s go on our August Recess instead.
The Senate spells their August break: R&R – Recess and Relax. We spell their August break: R&R – Repudiate and Replace.
New John McCain Statue for Congressional Cloakroom
The perfect statue commemorating John’s 35 years in Government Service. He never met a ‘War’ or a ‘Democrat’ he didn’t like.
White House ‘Survivor’ – It’ll Be Yuuuge!!
RealityTV at it’s best and lowest. I can’t wait for the episode where new Chief of Staff, John Kelly, catches a leaker and stakes the culprit out on the White House South Lawn smeared with honey and….
