Today Fox announced that ten days before I complete three quarters of a century, they are rearranging their prime time lineup. Now it will start at seven with Ingraham followed by Jesse replacing Tucker. Then Hannity will stay in his same spot and Gutfeld will move up to the 10 pm spot.

Now I would have kept Jesse where he is because he is simply not Tucker material. He’s a usually funny midwit. I would have put Laura in Tucker’s spot because she a serious intellect who clerked for Justice Clarence Thomas, and can actually deliver an insightful and informative monologue. I know one of you doesn’t like her because she cuts off guests who start spouting nonsense. That’s one thing I like. Remember that in the beginning Tucker used to have on lefties and he would laugh like a fool but let them talk and then he realized how stupid that was and stopped doing it.

And lastly moving Gutfeld up is a good move because it makes it more likely that I will see it live and not having to watch it back the next day. My one concern is whether he can continue with the risqué nature of his show at the earlier hour.

Apparently she’s been getting a lot of criticism for appearing stupid on the Five, so she started out yesterday by saying she’s paid to be Debbie Downer and basically saying she’s just mouthing leftist nonsense because she’s apparently for sale!

I’m not sure that was any better.

The reason for this rant is that it occurred to me a couple days ago under basically Marketing 101 you have to know your audience and not offend it.

In the bud lite case their audience is not flat chested trans women floating around like a prepubescent wood nymph. And thus they took a big hit.

Truvada is an aids prevention drug. Their commercial is full of gay couples kissing and acting just like straight couples and even features a bit at the end where what I believe is known as a bear — a husky guy with a very hairy chest — being kissed on the lips by a younger thinner man. Now that may not be your cup of tea or mine, but they were playing to their audience. Most people reading this are probably not in the Truvada demographic but that’s okay. We weren’t going to buy it before or after the commercial. They potentially connected with their base and certainly didn’t offend them.

RIP! The purpose of this rant is to once again punch my curmudgeon ticket.

First I’m sorry for the people who died. No I take that back. I feel sorry for their survivors who unfortunately had kin that were narcissistic idiots who risked their lives for a completely useless joy ride This was nothing more than the ultimate, make that penultimate, example of conspicuous consumption. If you don’t know what that is, look it up it’s a staple in economics.

Remember these idiots paid $250K per seat to go on basically a sightseeing trip that they could have seen much better on the internet. No they went so they could say I’m richer than you and can do stupid things you can’t afford.

Btw the ultimate is people who pay I think it’s $1 million to ride Space X.

And I’m sick of people, particularly Clay and Buck, pretending that these idiots were explorers or people pushing scientific discoveries. They even compared them to Lewis and Clarke. This is total bullshit. They were going on a sightseeing trip to a place that has already been videotaped ad nauseam.

And here’s what I really object to. They all signed a waiver which on the first page said three times that death was a possibility. What I want added is that if something goes wrong, not one dollar of US taxpayer money will be spent to bail you out. How many millions did will we have to pay because idiots took a risk for no legitimate reason other than narcissistic vanity?

That should keep me in the curmudgeon society.

Just for those who are still concerned about the classified records case, here are a couple articles from very smart people utterly destroying the Smith indictment. Enjoy!

Okay last week it came out that the wife of the comptroller of Burisma, who died under suspicious circumstances, said she had the the bank account information where all the Magoo money was transferred and she wanted to testify before Congress and inform them of all the shady Magoo dealings. This week she was found mysteriously dead. Anyone want to bet Magoo is talking to the Clintons?

I had lunch today and as always I sat at the bar and my favorite waitress took care of me. However there was a woman a few seats away that talked on her cell phone the entire time I was there. I know way more than I need or want to about this woman, including her health issues, her legal issues, her marital issues and her love life issues. Please shut the hell up. If you’re going to talk, then go to a booth in a corner away from others. I came to enjoy a meal not listen to your problems.

If I get a call in those conditions, I say I’m at a restaurant and I’ll call you back. This idiot spent so much time talking that she had to put her food in a take home box! Please respect others privacy!

It appears that Georgia may be up to the same shenanigans it pulled against Trump in 2020. Remember that Governor Kemp and Secretary of State Raffensperger the person responsible for voting in Georgia both hate Trump because he called them out for allowing illegal changes to voting laws. In fact Raffensperger is the person responsible for the potential indictment of Trump in Georgia. And he is the person who supposedly debunked the chase everyone out then pull out suitcases full of ballots and count some of them three times by saying basically nothing to see here that’s how we do it. And as I recall it’s the state where in one county they put 100 Trump ballots through a dominion voting machine and 100 Magoo ballots and the results came out 85 for Trump and 115 for Magoo. They repeated it and got the same results.

Now you may ask what’s this got to do with anything? Well the two articles below came out today and present a scary scenario. In the first, after keeping it covered up since 2021 a report was released that proves the Dominion machines can alter votes. Too bad it wasn’t released before Fox settled with them. Tucker might still be on every night

The second explains that even though they know these machines are vulnerable, Raffensperger doesn’t plan to upload the fixes until after the 2024 elections. Gee why would you want to leave the vulnerabilities uncorrected? I’ll let you connect the dots.

A couple of articles today. The first deals with the bogus presentation of the boxes at MAL. When the pictures first came out of all the boxes all over the place, I admit I was a little shocked but should have realized it was a staged presentation to inflame everyone. But just like the pictures right after the raid where they spread supposedly classified documents all over the floor, these photos are deceptive by design. Read the article.

The second I would expect some of you have read. It’s by Greg Jarrett and is by far the most comprehensive take down of the indictment and will I’m sure make you feel much better about Trump’s position. Remember as I have been saying the indictment is basically Smith’s fantasy.

Trump’s indictment is not the slam dunk case liberal media believes it is

Alvin Bragg announced today that he is putting off his prosecution of Trump until after the federal case is resolved. This is just more of his cya nonsense. He knows he has no case and now he can continue to bask in the glory of being the first person to indict Trump without ever having to prove it.
