The Asterisk *dministration Is Joking, Right?

The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.

I really thought that the Asterisk *dminstration was a grossly incompetent band of pampered neo-Marxist doofuses committed to an anti-American agenda of free-fallin’ decline, but I was wrong. Instead, they are clearly a bunch of merry pranksters pulling off a huge goof on the American people. It’s all about the lulz, as the hip kids say. Clearly, they’re messing with us. 

Is there any other explanation why the first *dministration envoy to China is not there about Uighur genocide, or the reds invading Taiwan, or for blaming the innocent and inoffensive pangolin for the virus that they let out of their bioweapons lab? No. You don’t send John Frankenkerry to Shanghai to talk about the weather in 2121 if you are serious people. 

These guys are hilarious.

Also, the Oscars are coming. No, I didn’t realize it either. And no, I don’t recognize any of the movies either. And no, I’m not watching it either.

Wait, The Big Issue With China Is…The Weather?

If you want proof of the essentially unserious nature of our garbage elite, look no further than the fact that Grandpa Badfinger’s big priority with the Chi Coms is begging them to crush their own economy because of the weather in a century. Of course, the proposed bargain will be that we give them the destruction of America’s economy today in exchange for carbon emission reduction promises by Xi’s minions tomorrow. Wimpy offered Popeye a better deal for buying him a burger – we all know that with the communists, Tuesday and repayment will never come.

Of course, that assumes that climate change is real and not a quasi-religious Marxist sacrament designed to give our garbage elite more power and money at the expense of normal people while simultaneously filling the spiritual void of our alleged betters. These guys need Jesus, not a weatherman. But that’s another column.

In any case, it’s hard to quantify the extent of this diplomatic disaster. First, this comes right after these commie psychos lectured the *dministration diplomats in Alaska about how America is systemically racists and built on racism and – did I mention? – racist. And what was Tony Blinken going to say – No, you commie bastards, America’s not built on racism? 

That’s pretty much Democrat pagan gospel. It’s not like he could stand up and say, “Come one, that’s just bullSchiff we shovel out to the rubes.” He just sat there and let these bloodstained tyrants run down our country in exactly the same way our garbage elite runs down our country. Well played, jerks.

The Uighurs are being erased – not fake erased like whiny trans activists and other stripes in the anti-normal rainbow claim, but literally wiped off the face of the earth. The Chi Com air forces are penetrating Taiwan’s air space and they are building a navy ready to take the island by force. The Chinese are claiming successive island chains in the Western Pacific, moving out their area of dominance. Look for them to claim Honolulu next (Gee, I wonder if any writer of bestselling conservative action novels ever predicted that?). But our glorious Matlock Superfan in the White House is focused on sunshine panic.

Now, the reds have got to be looking at this initiative thinking, “Is this a trap?” because they probably cannot, deep down, believe that any people are so frivolous and unserious as to prioritize a weather fetish over actual national interests. Well, guess again, because the *dministration is that frivolous. In fact, our entire ruling caste is that frivolous. Inheriting the greatest nation in human history, the freest and prosperous nation ever, these cultural trust fund babies needed to find a challenge since their better fathers had overcome the real challenges, finally putting the Soviet Union in its grave 30 years ago. 

So, without dragons to slay, these losers create their own little geekos to stomp. Climate change, structural racism – it’s a joke, a substitute for real threats and challenges. It’s the manifestation of a bizarre psychodrama as inferior spawn of superior sires struggle to prove themselves by taking on twelfth-tier foes. It’s like the Roman emperor Commodus in Gladiator, son of a much superior father, who sought to prove himself by fighting in the arena only after knifing his foe in the kidney to get that extra edge.

These clowns are so busy congratulating themselves they can’t hear the Chi Com laughter.

The Oscar For Failure Goes To … The Oscars

I don’t think I have seen a single Best Picture nominee. Maybe I have bad taste in movies. Or maybe I have really good taste. I just know I’ve got zero interest in them. After all, it looks like a non-stop festival of misery and wokeness. So no, I’m not going to watch, or even later check on the results of, what used to be an institution back when there were like three channels.

I welcome this. Why? Because I want Hollywood and the other garbage institutions to fall. And when they do, we can replace them with something that does not hate us. And I have no sentimental attachment to them – that’s the extent of their complete alienation from us. They chose to hate us. But now, was they get ready to set a new record for low ratings, they get to have us hate them right back.
