During Ronald Reagan's first administration he used to regale audiences with a patriotic tale of a brave American pilot during World War Two who persevered through injury, anti-aircraft fire, and faulty instruments to land his plane back on Allied soil with all its crew intact. There was always a rousing ovation. A few inquisitive reporters wondered about the validity of the story. It turned out not to be true. 

It was, however, a role Reagan played as the lead in a 1940s movie. When asked about this obvious fraud legendary press spokesman Larry Speakes uttered one of the great answers of all time. "If you tell the same story three times it becomes the truth." Politicians have run with this ever since. The spineless Speaker of the House Republican Kevin McCarthy is applying this to his announcement of yet another inquiry into the impeachment of Uncle Joe Biden, despite no evidence. America's herald of God, guns, Trump, and tantric sex Margorie Taylor Greene stated that such an action was required because, just because. 

"Meet The Press" began today with Republican New Hampshire Governor John Sununu. Because he does not worship at the temple of Trump he is what passes as a moderate these days. Back in the 1960s you actually had liberal Republican senators like Nelson Rockefeller of New York. If you had a liberal Republican these days he would be executed at dawn by the Kid Rock Bud Light firing squad. When asked about the indictments of Mango Mussolini he stated, 'balls are balls and strikes are strikes'. He said it was not a fait accompli that Donnie will be the nominee. He said this would become clearer once the Darwinian thinning of the herd among the candidates occurred. He went on to consult his Magic Eight Ball and say neither Trump nor Biden would lead their respective tickets. As Keanu Reeves would say " whoa." 

Next was Commerce Secretary Gina Riamondo, fresh back from her trip to China. The Chinese hacked her emails right before her visit. This only reinforces China's reputation as the Bugs " Ain't I a little stinker" Bunnys of the world. She says our hole card in trade negotiations with them is that they need our business as much as we need theirs. She is the fourth U.S. official to go to Beijing this year. And for what? How many times do you ask out the cheerleader until you just give up? 

In medical news Republican Majority Leader Mitch "Doctor No" McConnell suffered his second extended mental freeze up during the past 5 weeks. When asked if he would run for reelection Mitch began to answer and then went into the 1000 mile death stare to nowhere. This is not only dangerous for his party, but also the Senate and the security of our nation. Move over Rover and let Jimi take over. Do not put me in charge of making the salmon loaf for dinner. Do not give the keys of the Lamborghini to Pete Davidson. Like sands through the hourglass so are the days of our lives
