The Ladies Of Comedy Are Not Joking About The Inept Congress!

Sofia Vergara added her voice to the campaign
Sofia Vergara joins entertainers in a public service announcement demanding Congress pass reasonable gun control laws. I can imagine Republicans are going to ignore them. I can see conservative agitators call them "limousine liberals".

Amy Schumer, Julliane Moore, Jennifer Anniston, Sarah Silverman, Sofia Vergara, Sarah Silverman, Nathan Lane, Debra Messing, Kevin Bacon, Michael J. Fox, Olivia Munn, and Kristen Schaal joined the president in a PSA. The entertainers plea to Congress do something about gun violence.

The PSA is called "We Can End Gun Violence".

"This new video sends a clear message that we will rally together to help end gun violence. The gun safety movement has grown tremendously over the past few years and what’s more: we’re winning. We’re defeating the gun lobby in statehouses across the country and making it clear that we won’t sit idly by while 88 Americans are killed by gun violence every day and hundreds more are injured," President Barack Obama said.

The recent San Bernardino shootings are now being morphed into an Islamic State themed terrorist attack. The terrorists murdered 14 people and injured 31. They were killed in a hail of gunfire.

The one before that was Colorado Springs. The terrorists was shooting at law enforcement and residents fleeing from the Planned Parenthood location. The terrorist murdered 3 people and injured 12. The law managed to apprehend the terrorist. He will face a jury on capital murder.

The one that didn't catch too much attention was in Colorado Springs. The terrorist went on to murder 4 people and injure many before the law put him down quickly.

The one before that was Umpqua Community College. The terrorist went on to murder 10 people and injure many before he would take his own life.

And we can go on and on and on and on....



The #NotOneMore campaign is launched by the Organizing for America campaign. The president is pressing for reasonable gun control laws.

Now Americans are starting to notice that gun violence is the number one threat in the United States.

#BlackLivesMatter, the Council on American Islam Relations (CAIR), Planned Parenthood, and other organizations are rallying people to demand change. They are demanding for Congress to change course or face an usurping.

Amy Schumer appeared in the video
Amy Schumer.
It's starting to work in a slow, painful and yes frustrating way.

People in the city of Chicago are calling for the firing of Rahm Emmanuel. The embattled mayor has seen his city seen mass murder on a daily basis. Even the police force is committing mass murder.

The people of Baltimore managed to get Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to fire herself out the cannon. Baltimore has seen many mass murders within this year. That doesn't include the death of Freddie Gray.

Jon Stewart of Comedy Central came to The Daily Show recently to slam House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate leader Mitch McConnell for failing to pass a simple law. He demands Congress pass the 9/11 Responders Health bill. Stewart was frustrated with lawmakers inserting partisan pork into bipartisan bills so they can blame the president for a government shutdown.

Stewart retired from the show and passed it to Trevor Noah.

These latest actions are starting to get attention by the junk food media. The junk food media is also getting tired of being labeled "liberal" by the agitators and presidential candidates. The junk food media gave the Republicans 3:1 television coverage.

And yet, the conservative concern trolls ignore all the pleas.

I've seen it in the comment section. I've seen it in the social media pages. I've heard it on radio, teleivsion, print, and internet websites. All I hear from conservatives is tongue and nothing more.

Republicans are so freaking inept. The Republican candidates running for president, the Congress and the conservative agitators spent more time pissing off Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims and women.

Liberalism (or perhaps progressive views) are on the rise in the United States. Conservatives are trying to delay and/or deny the inevitable.

They don't see that their policies are out of touch with the United States. The rise of Donald Trump is possibly one of the recent surges in conservatism.

I can imagine that annoying conservative agitator calling them limousine liberals.

Holiday Cookies!

The final year begins in January.

The final jobs report for the year comes out and it seems like President Barack Obama is smiling all the way. The unemployment rate remains unchanged but it did net over 211,000 jobs.

U.S. job growth increased solidly in November in a show of the economy's resilience, which most likely paves the way for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates this month for the first time in nearly a decade.

Nonfarm payrolls increased 211,000 last month, the Labor Department said on Friday. September and October data was revised to show 35,000 more jobs than previously reported.

The unemployment rate held at a 7-1/2-year low of 5 percent, even as people returned to the labor force in a sign of confidence in the jobs market. The jobless rate is in a range many Fed officials see as consistent with full employment and has dropped seven-tenths of a percentage point this year.

Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen may raise the federal interest rate. She believe the government is healthy enough for the interest rate to increase to at least 4%.

Yellen said the economy needs to create just under 100,000 jobs a month to keep up with growth in the working age population.

The Fed's policy-setting committee will meet on Dec. 15-16. Market-based measures of Fed policy expectations assign a probability of 79.1 percent to the central bank's raising interest rates at that meeting, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch site.

The dollar extended gains against a basket of currencies, while prices for U.S. government bonds fell. U.S. stock futures extended gains.

The second month of strong job gains should allay fears the economy has hit a soft patch, after reports showing tepid consumer spending in October and a slowdown in services industry growth in November. Manufacturing contracted in November for the first time in three years.

Though wage growth slowed last month, economists say that was mostly payback for October's outsized gains, which were driven by a calendar quirk. Anecdotal evidence, as well as data on labor-related costs, suggest that tightening job market conditions are starting to put upward pressure on wages.

Average hourly earnings increased four cents, or 0.2 percent from 0.4 percent in October. That lowered the year-on-year reading to 2.3 percent from 2.5 percent in October. The average workweek, however, dipped to 34.5 hours from 34.6.

Other labor market measures that Fed officials are eyeing as they consider lifting the benchmark overnight interest rate from near zero were mixed.

The labor force participation rate, or the share of working-age Americans who are employed or at least looking for a job, rose to 62.5 percent from a near 38-year low of 62.4 percent.

But a broad measure of joblessness that includes people who want to work but have given up searching and those working part-time because they cannot find full-time employment rose one-tenth of a percentage point to 9.9 percent.

Employment gains in November were broad-based, though manufacturing shed 1,000 positions and mining lost 11,000 jobs.

Manufacturing has been crippled by a strong dollar, efforts by businesses to reduce bloated inventory and spending cuts by energy companies scaling back well drilling and exploration in response to sharply lower oil prices.
House Speaker Paul Ryan's (R-WI) first months as House Speaker have been so far "fair" to say at least.
Mining employment has declined by 123,000 since reaching a peak in December 2014. Three quarters of the job losses over this period have been in support activities for mining.

Oilfield services provider Schlumberger (SLB.N) this week announced another round of job cuts in addition to 20,000 layoffs already reported this year. The company said it expected the slowdown in drilling activity to continue in 2016.

Construction payrolls increased 46,000 last month. With 163,000 jobs added, the services sector accounted for the bulk of the increase in employment last month. Retail jobs rose 30,700 and transportation and warehousing employment rebounded after two straight months of declines.

Professional services added 27,000 jobs and government payrolls increased 14,000 last month.

Of course, the conservative agitators will not accept this good news. They keep repeating the debunked talking points that over 94.6 million people are unemployed.

And I will continue to tell you that 1/3 of the U.S. population is either in the iron college, attending high school or college, disabled, retired or dead.

Republicans have not passed any legislation to create jobs. They've shown the world that they're incapable of governing. They won power to just showboat their ignorant agenda.

Newsflash: We have mass shootings in the United States. People are dying because of gun violence everyday. Over 245,000 people have been killed by firearms. We have a large generation of retiring people. We are going through a baby boom. We are having more people quit their jobs in search of better jobs. We have people in college, high school, and vocational school. We have people on disability.

Obama: Quit Promoting The Terrorists!

President Barack Obama hits back at the Republicans for armchair bitching.


The Republican Party is now turning the Paris attacks into a political football. They were quickly blaming President Barack Obama for the attacks. They cite the president's interview on ABC saying that the Islamic State is "contained" as a reason. They conclude that the president is "weak" on terrorism.

Under Obama's watch there hasn't been a major terrorist attack in the United States. There were more mass shootings under the president's watch.

Now Republican governors and lawmakers are pushing agendas to prevent refugees from entering the United States. They are giving the Islamic State a reason to attack the country.

One Texas Republican state lawmaker said that having refugees here will grant them access to firearms. He cites his own state as being a reason. The Republican involuntarily said access to firearms is too damn easy.

The Republican rhetoric is the best recruitment for the terrorists.

The Islamic State believes that Western societies are destroying their lands. France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States are often in cited as enemies of the extremist group.

The Islamic State was once the al Qaeda of Iraq. They broke away from the group after Osama bin Laden was killed in May 2011. They have gained popularity through the Syrian civil war.

Now the Islamic State has gain ground in Iraq. Conservatives claim that the president's decision to leave the Iraqi War led to the Islamic State growing in power.

Obama gets really annoyed by the armchair generals. He admits that the Paris attacks were a setback to the progress made in the fight against the extremist group. But said that throwing American troops into the Syrian Civil War is a risky move.

Obama warned Republicans that panicking and pushing hateful agendas is fueling the Islamic State recruitment.

While in the Philippines, the president spoke about taking on global terrorism, China's influence in the region and how he's dealing with Congress.

He said that the anti-refugee rhetoric and fear mongering needs to stop.

"Apparently they're scared of widows and orphans coming into the United States of America," Obama said.

Mocking GOP leaders for thinking they're tough, Obama said overblown rhetoric from Republicans could be a potent recruitment tool for the Islamic State group. He insisted the U.S. process for screening refugees for possible entry into the U.S. is rigorous and said the U.S. doesn't make good decisions "based on hysteria" or exaggerated risk.

"We are not well served when in response to a terrorist attack we descend into fear and panic," the president said.

Obama's comments during a meeting with Philippine President Benigno Aquino marked his harshest condemnation yet of Republicans' response to the Paris attacks blamed on Islamic State that killed 129 people last week. Republicans in Congress and on the 2016 presidential trail have urged an immediate closure of America's borders to Syrian refugees, but the Obama administration has shown no sign of backing off its plans to bring an additional 10,000 Syrians fleeing civil war into the U.S.

Obama took particular ire at a proposal by GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush to admit only Christian Syrians. Bush later clarified he wants to give preference to Christians but not exclude properly vetted Muslims. Still, Obama said the idea of only allowing Christians in amounted to "political posturing" that runs contrary to American values.

In Congress, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have urged at least a temporary halt in the resettlement of Syrians, while disputing Obama administration claims that the small numbers making their way here so far are being thoroughly investigated. Obama said he's been waiting for a year and a half for lawmakers to take up refugee legislation, questioning why they are now suddenly in a rush.

Defending his administration's screening program, Obama said it takes 18 to 24 months to clear a refugee for entry, following vetting by the U.S. intelligence community and other agencies as well as biometrics.

Although there are indications that one of the IS attackers carried a Syrian passport and may have arrived in France alongside refugees, Germany's top security official has said the passport might have been a fake intended to stoke fears. Still, Obama acknowledged that the U.S. public was concerned about attacks on the homeland, noting that Paris "reminds us of home.

"I understand why Americans have been particularly affected," he said.

al Qaeda and the Islamic State wants a Republican to win the White House. The Islamic State thinks Republicans are stupid. Republican are weak on terrorism. The terrorists believe the Republicans will bankrupt the country trying to fight them.

Waka Flocka: Get Me The F**K Off Atlantic!

Waka Flocka is the trap's MVP. He follows politics.

Waka Flocka Flame is a busy man. He's prepping up for the Flockaveli 2 album. But one thing that's delaying the release, Atlantic Records. He's been vocal about the label delaying his album release.

He's temped to buy out his contact.







He's released three mixtapes this year and is temped to release a EP called Flockaveli 1.5 for free on the social nets.

He even teased the stans with the single Blue or Red which was produced by his production team Metro Boomin' and Southside of the 808 Mafia.



Waka's really following the U.S. presidential elections. He's  shown interest in the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Waka is very active in politics. Seeing that Trump is running for the president, Waka had thought about running for president too.

When the Republicans went through a month of searching for the next House Speaker, he thought it would be cool to be the Speaker of the House. They ended up choosing Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) for their speaker.

Waka also appeared on a local news agitator doing the weather. He was doing a charity concert for flood victims. A South Carolina news channel allowed the entertainer get a crack at the weather.

Earlier this year, MSNBC had Waka on to discuss the University of Oklahoma's fraternity shouting NIGGER in a musical chant.

Waka was beefing with Gucci Mane. Gucci was pissed that his mom, Miss Mizay took control over 1017 Brick Squad when the rapper got caught in a federal case. Gowop is serving a 3.5 year bid in federal time out in Terre Haute, Indiana. They recently just settled their feud.

The Junk Food Media Shields Israel's Brutal Killings Of Palestinians!




When you hear about the conflict in the Middle East, the American junk food media often says that the region is unstable.

We can credit one country in the middle of the conflict.

Remember this year, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said publicly that Israel will continue building settlements and peace with Palestine isn't happening.

That helped push Netanyahu to win another term as the country's most controversial leader.

Netanyahu will come back to the United States to meet President Barack Obama again. This will be the first time they've meet. The last time Netanyahu came to the U.S., he was invited by the ex-Weeper John Boehner on the whim of a hotly contested election in Israel.

Netanyahu spoke to the Joint Session of Congress to denounce the Iranian deal. The president wasn't thrilled that he showed up to denounce the historic deal. The deal was proposed by the U.S. with assistance from China, Russia, Great Britain, Germany and France.

Obama and his administration behind the scenes hates dealing with him. The Netanyahu administration share the same mutual disdain.

Enter Ran Baratz, a media adviser who got the White House infuriated this month. This guy has appeared on conservative agitating media popping off.

He declared that President Obama is a modern day anti-Semite and said of Secretary of State John Kerry being the intellectual body of a 12 year old.

Netanyahu's choice of Baratz is pretty much, a middle finger to the president. Baratz is a hardliner who believes that Israel should wipe the Gaza Strip and West Bank off the map.

The junk food media immediately pounced on this figure after he shared some not so nice social media postings about America and the first Black president. He also went after the Israeli president Reuven Rivlin.

Rivlin, who is the president of the country doesn't have much power. He's basically the ceremonial and figurehead of the country. Netanyahu is the chief. The prime minister of Israel is the most powerful leader in the country.

Rivlin was mocked by Baratz for flying economy class and shaking hands with Muslim citizens. In other words, Rivlin is weak.  He has gotten a share of death threats from extremists.

The P+6 deal is in effect and Iran is keeping its word on disarming. The deal will have a 10 year freeze on nuclear progress. They will have access to nuclear energy. The will have sanctions lifted accordingly.

Israel since its founding became a lightening rod to conflict. Many view Israel as the biblical Holy Land. Its most sacred sites are clustered in Jerusalem’s Old City, including the Temple Mount, Dome of the Rock shrine, Al-Aqsa Mosque and Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Many Muslims believe that the Israeli government has systematically punished the Palestinians with sanctions and unwarranted genocide.

When rumors of the Israeli government blocking access to a historical mosque, tension once again rose in the region.

In a 3:1 ratio, Israeli have killed Palestinians. The junk food media covered last month's tension.

A major escalation occurred at the outset of October, marked by daily stabbing assaults by "lone wolf" Palestinians, and other attacks by Palestinian terror cells, mainly in the contested Old City of Jerusalem and in East Jerusalem.sparking fears of a Third Intifada.

Commentators have variously analysed the phenomenon as the consequence of either a viral social-media campaign that may have influenced and motivated the Palestinian attackers, or as a result of frustration over the failure of peace talks to end the decades-long occupation and the suppression of human rights.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has been accused of incitement to violence.

The mayor of Jerusalem Nir Barkat encouraged "licensed gun owners to carry their weapons to increase security."

During October, at least 68 Palestinians, were killed by Israel military and border police forces, 43 of whom were identified by the IDF as attackers in incidents such as stabbing, vehicular and gun attacks, though the interpretation of some of these incidents as 'terrorist' attacks has been questioned. In the same month, according to the Palestine Red Crescent Society, Israeli operations aimed at suppressing or dispersing demonstrations and protests in many of which stones, rocks and Molotov cocktails are thrown, injured an estimated 8,262 Palestinians, 2,617 by gun wounds, 760 by live fire, 1,857 by rubber-coated steel bullets.

As of November, 817 violent demonstrations occurred as well as 851 stone throwing and 377 molotov cocktail incidents, in which one Israeli was killed.

Since the eve of Rosh Hashanah, 11 Israelis were killed by Palestinian violence. IDF have recorded 75 indiscriminate terrorist attacks by Palestinians against Israeli civilians and security forces, 43 of which were in the West Bank, 22 in the Jerusalem municipality, and 11 within the Green Line (excluding Jerusalem), in which 10 Israelis were killed. An Eritrean was shot and lynched after mistakenly identified as an attacker during the Beersheva bus station shooting and died later.

 Israeli security forces arrested five members of a Hamas affiliated terror cell that killed 2 Israeli civilians on October 1.

The number of rocket attacks from Hamas lead Gaza strip increased in the same month.

In addition in early October, a 'lone wolf' Palestinian female bomber detonated a bomb in her car after being stopped on a road to Jerusalem, while yelling "Allahu Akbar."

The international community considers the use of indiscriminate attacks on civilian populations as illegal under international law.

Tensions will be on full display as Netanyahu visits the White House.

Quick Poll.

Who should be trusted as a world leader?

Turkey Jerky!

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) in 2010 meets with President Barack Obama.

Well it seems like the ney sayers will have an opportunity to debate the October jobs numbers.

It seems like House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will have to find some reason to attack the president for 95 million people not working.

Conservatives are fucking stupid. They seem to be fixated on this notion that 95 million people not working. If 95 million people aren't working, then 1/3 of the nation isn't working.

So that means over a third of 320 million Americans are determined to be lazy gubmint leeches right?

Nevermind the incarcerated, the disabled, the retired, the underage, those attending college and the dead. Nevermind those who felt confident to quit their jobs. Nevermind those who were laid off, fired, or temporarily hired for a selective period.

To spread a misleading statement as fact is the reason to why Ben Carson and Donald Trump in the lead. That helped Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) gain momentum.

Anyway, the unemployment drops to 5 percent after it was revealed 271,000 jobs were recorded for the month of October.

This strong jobs report may push Janet Yellen, the Federal Reverse chief to push the interest rate up.

Employment gains in October were broad-based, though manufacturing added no jobs and mining shed 4,000 positions.

Manufacturing has been hit by a strong dollar, efforts by businesses to reduce bloated inventory and spending cuts by energy companies cutting back on well drilling and exploration in response to lower oil prices.

Mining employment has declined by 109,000 since peaking in December 2014. Oilfield services provider Schlumberger last month announced further layoffs in addition to the 20,000 jobs it has already eliminated.

Construction payrolls, however, increased 31,000 last month, the biggest gain since February.

The services sector added 241,000 jobs last month, with large gains in retail, health and leisure. Government payrolls increased 3,000 last month.

It seems like the president and Secretary of State John Kerry will also reject the building of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. TransCanada put a lot of influence in the Congress. They were bidding for lawmakers to support the measure. Many Republicans claim the pipeline will create 30,000 jobs. Many Democrats said that tar sand oil could be dangerous to the environment.

Republican passed a bill supporting the pipeline. The president swiftly vetoed the bill and it died.

The pipeline would cut through a lot of properties. A lot of people have to lose land due to government seizure of land.

What could happen if there's an earthquake and the pipeline is ruptured?

Once the pipeline is completed, how many jobs will it take to work on the pipeline?

The Justin Trudeau effect helped a lot.

Trudeau who won the Canadian national elections to become the next prime minister. He opposes the Keystone XL pipeline.

Springfield, Ohio Lost Its Target!

Target announces another round of closings. Springfield, Ohio loses its only store.

Springfield, Ohio was dealt a blow. The Minneapolis based retailer announced another round of closings. The closings are affecting areas where they claim sales are in decline.

In the latest rounds of closings, the First Avenue location is on the list. The only Target store in the area will close in January.

That leaves Dayton metropolitan area four area locations. Huber Heights, Beavercreek, Centerville, and Miamisburg locations are still open for the time being.

Since 2013, the areas surrounding the Upper Valley Mall and Bechtle Avenue shopping district were hit with retail closing up.

When it was announced J.C. Penny and Macy's were closing in the same period, it put the nail in the coffin for the Upper Valley Mall. It's now declared a dead mall.

Springfield Ohio's only Target store is closing.
The mall is in receivership and the property's only anchor store Sears is considering closing.

The property hasn't secure a major anchor since the announcement.

The Bon Ton Corporation which owns Dayton-based Elder-Beerman closed first. Then Macy's and later J.C. Penny.

The Springfield city and township leaders are hoping that Hobby Lobby and Dick's Sporting Goods brings a little bit of good news to the area.

The Columbus area took a hit as well. Despite having the Hollywood Casino in the area, the Westland Mall is officially dead and everything around it is dying as well.

The Target Graceland location on West Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio is closing in January.

Target had closed all its Canadian stores in 2014-15. The 133 stores operated independently of the Target Corporation. It pull completely out of the country.

Target is trying to rebrand its image. They recently aired promotional for The Peanuts Movie and a cameo appearance from Brian and Stewie from Fox's Family Guy.

The Bluegrass Gubna's Race!

Insurgent Matt Bevin shakes hands with Democrat in name only Attorney General Jack Conway.

The state is Cook Political Voting index value +13 Republican. The state supported George W. Bush, John McCain and perennial loser Mitt Romney. The last Democrat in national office to win this state was Bill Clinton. The state has a term limit governor. And now is it possible that Democrats can hold on to a state that supports Republicans in 2:1 ratio?

Democrats in Kentucky are voting for Republicans. 

These so-called Reagan Democrats exist in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. 

There's a razor thin lead for the Democratic nominee against the Republican nominee. The nominees are both worthless. They are also-rans who lack charisma. 

But one thing could impact this election: Medicare. Kentucky voters support the state's health care exchange. They don't see it as Obamacare. They see it as "healthy Kentucky".

Republicans didn't pour a lot of money into insurgent Matt Bevin's campaign. Bevin is a perennial candidate for House, Senate and now the governor's race. Bevin is determined to make a name for himself.

Conway is a perennial candidate who lost to Rand Paul in 2010. He just kept a low profile for the time and decided that it could better choice to run for governor than a rematch against Paul.

The conservative agitators have ignored Bevin. Even during the Kim Davis fiasco, Republicans haven't put much into this race.

Many see Bevin as out of the mainstream. But does it mean it's not capable of pulling it off?

Hell Bevin could win this.

Democrats ain't really got much to celebrate. Whether Conway wins or not, they can't rely on him.

I can picture Conway being a thorn in President Barack Obama's skin. He will find ways to blame the president for "attacking the coal industry".

House Weeper Paul Ryan!

Will it get better? -  Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)

The former vice presidential nominee is now third in line in the power of succession. The House of Representatives voted today to place him at the gavel. He will now have the difficult task of trying to get the House in order.

The Republican lawmaker from Janesville was really reluctant to take the task, but for the sake of the party, he decided to jump into this.

Paul Davis Ryan, you got a big House. Mr. Ryan, the pressure is now on you to work with President Barack Obama and the members of Congress.

You will be the third Midwestern lawmaker to become the most powerful (and yes gullible) lawmaker in the country. You will be issued Secret Service detail and a cool perks being the House Speaker. You are going to make tough decisions that may help or hurt the country.

Many in the insurgency thought Ryan will be willing to compromise with the Democrats. Ryan also said that he will work with the president. He warned Republicans that he will not cave to pressure from either the president or a handful of insurgents.

The White House has called the new Speaker and wished him well.

His predecessor Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) said that he will get the budget and debt ceiling debacle completed before he steps down. Today the House had passed the legislation. The senate will take up the measure. Of course, I am guessing that Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) will find ways to derail the deal.

He was the chairman of House Ways and Means committee. He held that position for a couple of years now.

Picking him was a controversial move.

The 1st Congressional District has a Cook PVI rating of Republican +3. His district is a swing that leans Republican.

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) will now continue his reign on World News Today.

Paul Ryan: I Hope I Don't End Up Like Dennis Hastert And John Boehner!

No easy decision for Wisconsin's Paul Ryan.

The failed vice presidential nominee is likely to become the next Weeper of the House. The controversial decision to place Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) in the position has many in the junk food media wondering if the party is capable of governing.

In the beginning, Ryan refused the position. He knew that the insurgents would attack him if he decides potential bipartisanship with Democrats and the president. He said that he wanted most of his party to support him.

He said that he doesn't want to travel constantly like Boehner. He still has children that are young and they always come first. Ryan doesn't want the spotlight on him. He believes that if he can't cut it as the Weeper of the House, his ambitions (i.e, governor or presidential aspects) could be ruined.

He actually loves his job being the head of the Ways and Means committee.

Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) give the middle finger to his fellow Republicans this month when he announced an abrupt resignation. That sparked a civil war within the party.

In the beginning Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) wanted the position. But when he went on that annoying conservative agitator's program to declare that Hillary Clinton's decline was due to Republicans pressuring her on Benghazi, he was slammed for putting their business out there.

Ryan who was hammered for his Project to Prosperity bill is now hoping for Republicans to guide him through another stand down with  President Barack Obama and the next president.

Ryan was picked by perennial loser Mitt Romney in the 2012 presidential elections.

The insurgent wing concludes that Ryan is "establishment". Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) isn't keen on Ryan. He and many of the insurgent "Freedom Caucus" wants Ryan to give them more input in bills and floor time. Ryan refuses to concede to Republican insurgent demands.

Conservatives also slam Ryan as being a "squish". The AM agitators like Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin and Michael Savage calling the party to resend the thought of Ryan being the House Weeper.

Before Boehner leaves Washington, he wants to thumb one more in the eye of the insurgents. He and Majority leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) will rally members to pass a bipartisan budget and raise the debt ceiling for two years.

The budget deal and debt ceiling are going to likely be passed despite the obstruction from the insurgent wing of the Republican Party.

Ryan doesn't like the budget, but he will vote for it. Ryan also support rival Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) when he issues an impeachment hearing for the IRS head. Expect this controversy to go nowhere.

Meanwhile, ex-House Weeper Dennis Hastert plead guilty to lying to the FBI, wire fraud and extortion. He was caught up in a "hush money" scandal. He was secretly paying off his mistress. The mistress is a male prostitute he once mentored as a wrestling coach.

By taking the plea deal, he may end up getting up to six months to five years in federal time out for every charge.

Ryan hopes that his term as House Weeper doesn't become another disaster.

Ringside Romney!

Evander Holyfield decides to make a man out of perennial loser Mitt Romney.

He may be a perennial failure for political office, but during his downtime Mitt Romney decides to take on a new hobby, boxing.

For a charity, perennial loser Mitt Romney takes on Evander Holyfield. They were raising cash for CharityVision, a group that helps children with vision and lost of sight.

Holyfield didn't go soft on Romney. The perennial loser can add another notch to his belt of failure.

Romney lasted only two rounds.

But on the bright side, Holyfield won.

So in regards to the perennial loser's record

1W - 4L

1 win as a state governor, 1 lost as a U.S. Senate nominee, 1 lost as a Republican candidate, 1 lost as a Republican presidential nominee, and 1 lost as a boxer.
