🚨 BREAKING: 🚨 Former Vice President Mike Pence is reportedly orchestrating a "RINO coup" of Never Trump establishment Republicans who are on a mission to do a hostile take back of the Republican Party from President Trump and the MAGA movement. They are said to be funding opposition research on Trump-backed MAGA candidates in the midterms, financially backing their primary opponents and even strategically placing Trump haters in disguise as supporters of the President in key positions within the Trump administration in order to sabotage and undermine the President. Pam Bondi and Susie Wiles are two confirmed RINO infiltrators who were placed in their positions by Pence and his ilk. The RINO coup allegedly includes DOZENS of "Old Guard" Republicans including the Bush family, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Mitt Romney and the family of late Senator John McCain among others. Mike Pence was the ringleader of the treason within the first Trump administration and he is the mastermind of the attempt to destroy the second one... THE FLY WAS RIGHT. ARREST PENCE NOW! 💪🏻🔥🇺🇸
I want to apologize for not responding to any of the 22 thousand comments my last post inspired. I’ve been filming all week and just noticed my observations about Jimmy Kimmel and a former plumber named Markwayne Mullin have gone viral. I've also noticed that many of the comments are from people who genuinely seem to believe that Jimmy wasn’t belittling plumbers at all, but was instead, simply trying to point out that Mullin is not qualified to lead the DHS. Here's a small smattering...
Roger Bicknell...
Mikey stop. Kimmel wasn't making fun of plumbers he was making fun of Mullin.
Rebecca Piatt Gonzalez...
Dearest Mike, it's not anything to do with his being a plumber. It's him NOT being skilled in Homeland Security.
Patrick Wise...
Being a plumber qualifies you to be a plumber. Period. The issue Jimmy and the rest of us at the adult table recognize is that jobs require certain training and experience and being a plumber does not qualify you to be Sec of DHS.
Had Roger, Rebecca, Patrick and all the others who rushed to Jimmy’s Kimmel’s defense actually read what I had written, they would see that I did not suggest - even remotely - that a plumber was inherently qualified to hold a cabinet position. What I said was that being a plumber should not disqualify a person from holding such a position. Big difference. Doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, fireman, and university professors are no more or less qualified to run the DHS than plumbers, electricians, or carpenters – but should they all be dismissed as “unqualified” simply because they made a living in some other vocation?
As I wrote in my original post, credentials and diplomas are great ways to bolster a person’s credibility, especially if we’re talking about mastering a specific skill. I think we can all agree that plumbers, accountants, mechanics, and surgeons should all have to prove themselves competent before hanging out a shingle. But what do their credentials and diplomas have to do with their actual competency? Are we not already surrounded by a legion of perfectly qualified experts who don't know what the hell they're doing? Moreover, what do credentials and experience have to do with wisdom, honesty, common sense, integrity, courage, the ability to lead, or any other virtue we’d like to have in our elected officials?
There are plenty of legitimate reasons to question Mullin’s suitability for this role. But there’s no legitimate reason to disqualify him simply because he used to be a plumber. Just as there was no legitimate reason to dismiss AOC because she used to tend bar. As for the joke itself, here’s an honest question. If Senator Mullin was a retired doctor instead of a retired plumber, do you believe he would have would made the same joke?
Roger, Rebecca, Patrick...be honest. Do you really think Jimmy would have said to his audience, "So, now we have a DOCTOR in charge of protecting us from terrorism? Hey – it worked for Dr. Suess – maybe it’ll work for Markwayne!"
Personally, I don't. Not in a million years. Why? Because no one would have found it funny, that’s why. Even though doctors are no more “qualified” to protect us from terrorists than plumbers are, Jimmy knows that doctors are widely respected in society, and that plumbers are not. He knows that medical degrees and doctorates are aspirational credentials, whereas plumbing certificates are not. The entire premise of his joke was based on a personal bias that he knew his audience shared – a bias that presupposes plumbers are uneducated, one-dimensional workers who never made it to college, and are therefore "unqualified" to do anything but plumb.
Jimmy is entitled to his opinion, along with anyone else who believes that Mullin is unqualified to lead the DHS. The Constitution, however, says otherwise, and so does the Senate. Likewise, reasonable people can disagree as to what is funny and what isn’t. Frankly, I couldn’t care less. What I do care about, is the extraordinary shortage of plumbers and electricians our country is facing, and the longstanding stigmas and stereotypes that continue to discourage people from considering a lucrative career in the skilled trades. Jimmy’s joke – and his audience’s reaction to it – is proof positive that those stigmas and stereotypes are alive and well.
PS. We have a lot of money set aside to help train the next generation of plumbers. Apply for a scholarship at mikeroweworks.org Who knows? Could be the first step on your road to President..
@ToddYakoubian Lmao that is not ice. Shirley Arkansas is only 60 miles north of little rock.its not like it's the frozen tundra up there. I sure hope I'm missing something 😅
Add it to the résumé: With today’s win over the Indianapolis Colts, Patrick Mahomes has now defeated all 31 other NFL franchises in the regular season
👑👑
@BaldyNFL@Chiefs@PatrickMahomes Reading through these comments has been enlightening. Y’all are a bunch of jealous ass, butthurt, cry babies. I guaran-fuckin-tee you, if Mahomes was on YOUR team you’d be in awe of him and he’d be the GOAT! But most of you are too consumed with hate and jealousy to admit that.
BREAKING: Leaked audio of a 911 call from August 26th to the Clark County Sheriff Office in Springfield, Ohio shows a caller reporting 4 Haitian Migrants carrying dead geese to the police. 🚨🚨🚨🚨
🚨 #BREAKING: The US Supreme Court has BLOCKED the Biden Harris administration’s effort to change Title IX and FORCE schools to allow:
➡️ Men to shower with women
➡️ Men to take academic AND athletic scholarships from women
➡️ Men to be housed in women’s dorms
And teachers would be COMPELLED to use “preferred pronouns”
Biden and Harris were attempting to make a change to Title IX in order to enforce this.
THIS IS A HUGE WIN FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS! Wokeness took an L today!
Thanks to all the State AGs who came together to make this happen!
@ConsciousClark_@PauletteEllaH@JeffDogggg THAT one play call inflicted a generation of PTSD on an entire fan base. The biggest “what if” in the history of the NFL. I hate Pete Carroll, but I still feel bad for the fan base. That was cruel and unusual punishment. I don’t know how y’all were ever able to forgive him.
@PauletteEllaH@JeffDogggg Yupp exactly, I still am not over my Seahawks not giving Lynch the ball on the Half yard line. We had not only a Super Bowl in the bag, but a Dynasty in the bag. That one play made all our best players break up and go to other teams.
If CMC doesn’t fumble
If Trent doesn’t get back to back penalties
If the ball doesn’t bounce off Luter’s leg
If Ray Ray just falls on it
If they score after Ja’Yir’s Int
And on and on. Any ONE of these things & the 49ers are Champs.
Still can’t believe it.
@JeffDogggg At this point in Mahomes’ career, there really is no shame in losing to the Chiefs. Just like Brady in his prime (and beyond), it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion that he’s gonna find a way to beat you no matter how well you play. ESPECIALLY in the playoffs / Super Bowl.
@KSeaboldt It’s a team loss all around. The line played poorly and Mahomes lost the game himself with 2 huge turnovers back to back. He did everything he could to win it back but he did lose it first. There’s something wrong with the vibe of this team.
An absolute organizational embarrassment for the Chiefs today, one that cannot be overstated. I don’t care what Andy Reid or anyone else has to say after the game; words are meaningless at this point. This game pounds out in ALL CAPS that significant change must come in the offseason and not just to the roster.
A complete overhaul of the WR position is, at this point, not even worthy of discussion. Rashee Rice has a job. The rest can find new homes. Rebuilding this position is EASILY their top priority and Brett Veach has to hit at least one home run here while trying to figure out why this season went the way it did and what his role was in that.
There isn’t a single coach on the offensive side who can make a compelling case that they should be back and that includes Matt Nagy. Regardless of talent, this has consistently been one of the most disorganized offenses in the NFL. I understood why this was happening in 2012 when Brady Quinn was throwing to Jonathan Baldwin and Terrence Copper. But Nagy’s offense has done what I thought could never be done. It has turned the best player in football into an anxious, jittery, and hesitant player unsure of what’s going to happen every single time he takes the snap.
Lastly, Andy Reid has to look in the mirror and figure out why his team got away from him this season. Because they did. Every week it has seemed as if the other team came with more fire. That is inexcusable.
They’ll still probably win the AFC West. They’ll play a home game in the playoffs. Hell, they might even win one though there is NO reason to believe they’ll win more than that. But this organization is at a crossroads. It MUST meet the moment.
