Bloomberg may throw your soda cup in the ring

Michael Bloomberg, billionaire, former New York City mayor, and owner of Bloomberg News, a media outlet, is thinking  about running against another billionaire real estate developer and TV show entertainer from New York City if Trump gets the nomination. It looks like that's what's going to happen, but hey, ya never know. 

Of course, Bloomberg will also need to run against people on the left, notably a woman who may be indicted for disobeying the law regarding the Espionage Act, and who has logged more miles than any other Secretary of State while doing nothing for the country, and whose family foundation funds may have been used illegally and to buy political influence for foreign countries.

Another leftist Bloomberg will have to run against if he truly wants to become POTUS is a socialist who, as a New Hampshire senator, has done very little with his time in the Senate and who believes in the possibility of raising taxes on Americans to 90%.

The other leftist was mayor of a failed Baltimore, Maryland, then governor of the same state. He is as relevant to this election cycle as a yo-yo is to a flounder.

Like Donald Trump, Bloomberg says he will finance his campaign with his own money and has already commissioned a poll and ordered his advisers to start drafting plans, but he will likely wait to see what happens with the Iowa caucus on February 1st.

Bloomberg, a notorious flip-flopper has run as a Democrat, a Republican, and would now run as an Independent.

Ted Cruz (R-Tx) is a close second to Donald Trump, while Bernie Sanders (D-NH) is making a "shhtrong" bid for the Democratic nomination. 

Like Sanders, Bloomberg is pre- "The Howdy Doody Show," which makes them both quite old.

Changin' with time

While Bloomie's odds at actually winning the election is on par with winning the lottery without buying a ticket, he would probably screw things up for both parties in the general election. As a person who has screwed up New York City by regulating everything possible, that suits him just fine.

One would think that owning an entire media platform would disqualify a person from becoming president, but the times, they are a changin'.

Although no Independent ever was elected to POTUS, Bloomberg, a supporter of highly restrictive gun laws might sway disaffected voters on both sides of the aisle.

If, in fact, he were to get elected, it would be a blow to the Constitution and our civil liberties. 

C'mon folks, the guy put restrictions on the size of soda pop servings allowed in restaurants, and like Moochelle Obama, would even try to control the food we're allowed to eat, and then there's that little issue about the Second Amendment.

The Mizzou Three issue apologies for denying reporter his Constitutional rights

It's about time Constitutional antagonists were made to pay for their un-American behavior. Three of them, all members of the University of Missouri faculty, are facing repercussions after a video showed them taunting and harassing student journalists during a campus protest last week. The ironic thing about this is that one of them, Melissa Click, had a courtesy appointment with the Missouri School of Journalism, from which she has since resigned.

The face of anarchy

Another culprit (the guy with whom Click shares an address, according to the St. Louis Dispatch) Prof. Richard J. "Chip" Callahan, chairs the Religious Studies Department. He might have majored in Radical Islamic Studies because he is about as sensitive as ISIS mujahedeen to a Bar Mitzvah boy. He joined the Mizzou mob and stopped Tim Tai, a photojournalist, from reporting on the protest.

When Tai was being menaced by the students, he complained and Callahan responded with "Don't talk to me. It's not my problem."

Janna Basler, director of Greek life and leadership on campus, was also part in the suppression of Tai's First Amendment rights, and she was caught on video like the other two bubble-wiffers. She refused to respond to questions about her role in the mess caught on video.

Click was reported to have "shut herself in her university office on Tuesday afternoon and sobbing could be heard through the door." 

She slithered from her office by 5 p.m. Tuesday and released a written statement apologizing for her inexcusable actions, adding that she also apologized to Tai and expressed regret that she had shifted attention from the 'students' campaign for justice. "From this experience I have learned about humanity and humility," Click clucked.

I doubt it. Some liberal somewhere will tell Click that she had every right to keep Tai from taking photos, in spite of the fact that it is public property and Tai even attends that school.

The campus chanting has now gone from "Hey hey, ho ho, reporters have got to go," to handing out leaflets urging the anarchist protesters to respect journalists' First Amendment rights and welcome them.

Isn't it ironic, not only about Click teaching journalism, but for her and her fellow scumcrumpets to be exercising their First Amendment rights while denying the same rights to others? This can be used in the definition of hypocrisy.

Janna Basler

"Chip" Callahan apologized to Tim Tai, and the young man had more class than Callahan will ever have by accepting the apology.

Janna Basler was placed on administrative leave and she too issued an apology to Tai for being a censoring ass, although she didn't word it quite that way. She said that she allowed her emotions to get the most of her "while trying to protect some of our students." 

That isn't an apology--where I come from, we call that an excuse.
