Ben Carson's middle name is officially Cray-Cray

Former neurosurgeon at Johns Hopkins and current Fox News commentator Ben Carson recently made a speech in support of Oregon GOP Senate candidate Monica Wehby in Wilsonville, Oregon, and as usual, made some comments which brought Jesus close to saying, "What the fu..?" At this January 31st fundraiser, Carson said the following:

- "[One of the main goals of progressives is to] fundamentally change who we are. [Part of that entails] keeping a blanket of silence over the majority."

- "There comes a time when people with values simply have to stand up. Think about Nazi Germany. Most of those people did not believe in what Hitler was doing. But did they speak up? Did they stand up for what they believe in? They did not, and you saw what happened. And if you believe that same thing can't happen again, you're very wrong. But we're not going to let it happen."

Let me get this straight. It's progressives' goal to change "who we are" and place a blanket of silence over the majority in this country, and this is reminiscent of Hitler and Nazis in Germany during the Holocaust? Let's compare progressives' goals with conservative ones for a moment.

Progressives' goals
- To provide equal rights and opportunities for minorities

- To provide equal rights and opportunities for women

- To provide equal rights and opportunities for homosexuals

- To provide equal rights and opportunities for the non-religious and for the religious whom don't practice Christianity

- To both both conserve and improve the environment

- Etc.


Conservatives' goals
- To make it more difficult for minorities to vote (as well as women)

- To take away or severely limit women's reproductive rights

- To deny women equal pay for equal work

- To prohibit equal rights for homosexuals

- To see Christians as superior to all others

- Etc.


Who were you comparing to Hitler and Nazis again, Mr. Carson? Ah, that's right - Hitler and his minions were well known for wanting equal rights for all, including: Women, gays, and Jews.

Also, Mr. Carson may want to do some more research on the election process in this country, as well as mathematics.

"[Part of that entails] keeping a blanket of silence over the majority."

For the record, a majority voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and again in 2012. Not only that, but Democrats picked up seats in both the House and the Senate in 2012. Progressives aren't "keeping a blanket of silence over the majority." Progressives are the majority.

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

Trump's Lie Tally at the CNN Debate

1) "We had the greatest economy in the history of our country. We had never done so well. Every – everybody was amazed by it. Other countries were copying us." 2) "But the thing we never got the credit for, and we should have, is getting us out of that COVID mess." 3) "The only jobs he created are for illegal immigrants and bounceback jobs; they’re bounced back from the COVID." 4) "Not going to drive them higher. It’s just going to cause countries that have been ripping us off for years, like China and many others, in all fairness to China – it’s going to just force them to pay us a lot of money, reduce our deficit tremendously, and give us a lot of power for other things." (tariffs) 5) "He also said he inherited 9 percent inflation." 6) "No, he inherited almost no inflation and it stayed that way for 14 months. And then it blew up under his leadership, because they spent money like a bunch of people that didn’t know what t...
