Politics are a Joke

- By Argus Hamilton

HOLLYWOOD-God Bless America, and how’s everybody?

The Minneapoli­s Tribune reports a Minnesota theater canceled their production of Cinderella because the cast is too white for public presentati­on. If you think that’s nuts, you should avoid Minnesota’s supermarke­ts. White Bread has been canceled and the label will now read Privilege Loaf.

TCM will devote a week to airing the greatest western movies ever made in Hollywood that includes Stagecoach, Shane, Rio Bravo, Jesse James and the Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. When I was a kid, every cowboy movie ended in a fatal shoot out. Now it’s the same, only it’s every news cycle.

Politico cited dog trainers to explain why Biden’s German Shepherd Major is attacking, biting and charging people in the White House. He can pounce on anyone at any minute. Bored White House reporters have asked if Major can regularly address them in the briefing room and play Trump.

Donald Trump called for conservati­ves to boycott Coca-Cola for backing MLB taking the All-Star Game from Atlanta. It’s not a new idea. Maybe I heard it wrong, but I started my boycott of coke thirtyfour and a half years ago and so far I’ve saved twenty-five million dollars and my nose.

President Biden addressed reporters Tuesday to announce the vaccine will be available to all in two weeks. He applauded the progress America has been making in many areas this year. I think it’s a sign of progress that both Georgia and Congressma­n Matt Gaetz have decided to start checking IDs.

MLB moved the All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver over Georgia’s voting law. Colorado’s voting law is much stricter and Atlanta’s black-owned businesses could lose a hundred million dollars. I’d say somebody at Major League Baseball headquarte­rs is snorting Parmesan cheese again.

President Biden applauded decisions by corporate giants Delta Airlines, Citibank, JP Morgan, and Coca-Cola to back MLB’s moving the All-Star game in protest of the voter law. There IS such a thing as piling on. The Devil has just announced his fiddle contest will no longer be held in Georgia.

Newt Gingrich urged Republican­s to boycott Delta Airlines for backing the protest against the Georgia voting law. That’s one of the three airlines remaining. If Republican­s keep boycotting every airline that disagrees with them politicall­y, they are going to wind up walking to Augusta every April.

President Biden called Georgia’s new voting law an attempt to make black people return to life under Jim Crow. That’s the era when blacks and whites had separate churches, neighborho­ods, schools and political parties. We’ve come SO far, we now have separate cable news channels, as well.

President Biden was asked by Fox News Tuesday if he had any plans to discuss with our allies boycotting next year’s Winter Olympics in Beijing, but the president said there’d been no discussion. I wouldn’t miss watching the athletes compete in China for anything. It’ll be a real test of antibodies.

Border Patrol agents said many kids pouring across the border are used as drug mules as well as decoys for gangsters making the crossing. There is a crisis at the Southern border and critics are asking why Biden isn’t taking the steps to protect us. Obviously, they haven’t seen him take steps.

Congressma­n Matt Gaetz heatedly denied dating a seventeen-year-old Monday while admitting he’s not a monk. His father was highly successful and had a reputation as a lady’s man back in his day. Matt’s favorite childhood memory is when he and his Dad used to go fishing together at Hooters.

The Wall Street Journal reported a survey which revealed that fewer than half the population of the U.S. now attends church services. It reported Texas is America’s most religious state. That’s because in Texas you can feel the presence of Jesus all around you, due mostly to poor border control.
