A new poll shows how many Republicans feel President Obama is trying to take over Texas

A new Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey was released earlier today, which showed the following findings I felt the need to share:

- 32% of Republicans believe "the government is trying to take over Texas" (40% do not)

- 50% of Tea Partiers believe this

- 76% of Rick-Perry-for-president supporters believe this

- 56% of Ted-Cruz-for-president supporters believe this

So, in other words, 44% of Republican respondents believe in the Jade Helm conspiracy theory (56% do not), 68% of Tea Party respondents believe in this conspiracy (32% do not), 82% of Rick Perry-supporter respondents believe in it (18% do not), and 73% of Ted Cruz-supporter respondents believe in this theory (27% do not).

This conspiracy theory is so ridiculous, even Arizona Senator John McCain has spoken out on the matter, saying the following to the Dallas Morning News: "It's bizarre. We have been having military exercises in the southwest for a couple of hundred years."

"Bizarre," yeah, that's the nice way of putting it. What McCain really wanted to say was probably something along the lines of, "My friends, this is me, an old man, telling you all to stop acting so f**king crazy. God bless you and God bless the United States of America." Amen to that...

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...
