McDonald’s

Donald Trump does McDonald’s on Sunday and Tuesday the quarter-pounder will kill you. Come on, you’ve tried killing him, breaking him and jailing him. What else have you got?

Plastic

Ever notice that in every Congressional hearing, the woke environmental politicians have plastic water bottles in front of them?

Hide your kids

I hope parents are not allowing their kids to listen to any of Donald Trump’s interviews. They have become too X-rated for me.

Second water meter

I learned that if you use a lot of water outside, especially if you have a pool, you can request a yard water meter. Since garbage collection fees are tied to water consumption, this can save you money on your water bill. Why is garbage collection tied to water consumption anyway?

Be careful

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is spouting off about Dominion voting machines again switching votes to Democrats. Maybe Dominion should sue her, as that was proven false last election. That might be the way to finally shut her up.

Full of it

Nine years ago, in 2015, Donald Trump said he had a plan to “repeal and replace Obamacare.“ It never happened. Now, nine years later, he says that he has a “concept.“ Why not just use the 2015 proposal? And, how did he go so far backward in nine years, from “plan” to “concept?”

Arnold Palmer

Boy, Donald Trump sure does seem to be infatuated with Arnold Palmer. Wonder why that is.
