Friday Morning Breakfast For The Brain

THANK GOD IT’S FRIDAY!

The Berniephone

By Ben Garrison

The old crank endorsed by AOC plus three.

Bernie is an old, broken down communist who spews the same tired lines during the debates—as if he were an old, scratched up and skipping 78 rpm record.

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and the “Squad” recognized their master’s voice and are endorsing Bernie for president. All of them want to self-righteously inflict their failed socialist plans on Americans.

Socialism has failed over and over again, but they refuse to acknowledge that. Instead, they militantly cling to their own ignorance. They want to keep on playing the broken socialist record, and most Americans don’t want to hear it.

Hillary Clinton’s Impossible Dream

Via The American Thinker

Hillary Clinton, still suffering from delusions of adequacy, has a dream. It is that Democrats will beg her to run again and be their savior. After all, she recently celebrated her historic 2016 win against President Donald Trump during an interview with Judy Woodruff.

Yes, the psychosis has progressed that far.

Still, the lineup of Democrat candidates is so awful that Clinton is actually tied with Andrew Yang in third place in the PredictIt political prediction market.

The betting market is responding to Clinton’s not so subtle odor of desperation, as well as the apparent weakness of the field.

Far too many Republicans and Democrats alike view Clinton as the real-life incarnation of Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th fame, although this is perhaps unfair to Jason, since it was safer to be acquaintances with the machete-wielding psychopath.

Jason was the un-killable evil force. Just when the brave and plucky heroine finally incinerated him, he popped back up with his hockey mask on and creepy music in the background to teach her the error of her ways.

With Clinton, her political immortality is purely an illusion. In fact, there are only two Americans who really want her to run: Clinton herself and President Donald Trump. You could perhaps add Bill Clinton to that list if it would keep her away from the mansion a bit longer.

In light of the Left’s outraged attacks on Ellen DeGeneres for not pushing George W. Bush out of the press box of a football game, perhaps the only remaining issue that can unite Republicans and Democrats is loathing of the corruption queen.

Usually, losing candidates see their approval ratings improve. Not Clinton.

Social Justice Warriors Blame ‘Toxic Fan Culture’ for Audiences Rejecting LGBT TV Show Batwoman

Via Big League Politics

Get woke, go broke!

The ratings for CW’s new feminist TV show Batwoman have already cratered in just its second week on the air.

The “woke” program lost about one-third of its initial audience from its premiere in its second episode that aired on Sunday night. The show posted a very low 0.3/1 rating with only 1.5 million viewers tuning in, as CW came in dead last of any major network in the ratings.

Social justice warriors are already blaming “toxic fan culture” for the immense unpopularity of the show. Commentator David Opie of Digital Spy pointed to user reviews on Rotten Tomatoes as evidence of trolls undermining the show’s admirable messaging.

“Another show with so much potential ruined by wokeness,” one review reads.

“You can tell a narrative is being pushed rather than a decent story being told,” another review claims.

He also pointed to the unpopularity of Batwoman on IMDB as more evidence that trolls are waging war with the show. It receives a 3.1 rating on the site while only 12 percent of Rotten Tomatoes user reviewers give the show a “fresh” rating.

Instead of admitting that the show may be poorly written and unpopular based on its own merits, Opie blames a chauvinist glass ceiling of sexist internet trolls conspiring to hold this TV show down.

New York City Council Votes To Close Rikers Island Jail Complex

Via Zero Hedge

Lawmakers in New York City voted Thursday to close the Rikers Island Jail complex as part of a new modernization effort that includes smaller jails throughout the city, reported Bloomberg. New York City Council voted 36-13 to shut down the jail by 2026, in favor of ten small prisons, one in each borough except Staten Island.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is leading a movement in the city towards ending mass incarceration.

Rikers Island, a historic jail complex situated in the East River between Queens and the Bronx, is the world’s largest correctional and mental institution.

After the vote, de Blasio tweeted, “Our city is a big step closer to closing Rikers Island — and ending the era of mass incarceration.”

ABC News Airs Authentic Footage Of 164-Foot-Tall Godzilla Rampaging Through Syria

Via The Babylon Bee (Satire)

NEW YORK, NY—ABC News has been praised as a bastion of journalistic integrity and in-depth reporting after being the first ones to air authentic footage of a 164-foot-tall radioactive dinosaur rampaging through Syria.

The footage, dubbed “Slaughter in Syria,” shows the monster, named “Gojira” or “Godzilla” by people screaming in the video, rising from the ocean to attack coastal cities throughout the region. Desperate locals try to fend off the monster with depth charges, a huge electric fence, tanks, and fighter jets. But mostly it doesn’t work and they just scream a lot.

Some experts believe we created the monster through too much nuclear testing and some drone strikes and feel we should study the monster. As these experts were opining on the matter in Syria, Godzilla appeared again and destroyed them with his atomic breath.

“Here we can see the harmful effects of Trump’s actions in the region,” said an anchor grimly. “May God have mercy on us all.”

Fortunately, at the last minute, the US military returned and used a weapon called the “Oxygen Destroyer” to defeat the monster for good.

ABC News reporters warn, however, that Godzilla may return to Syria soon to fight other monsters, most notably in a disappointing attack in 1998 and pretty cool attacks in 2014 and 2019.
