Hanlon’s razor is an aphorism expressed in various ways, including: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” An eponymous law, probably named after a Robert J. Hanlon, it is a philosophical razor which suggests a way of eliminating unlikely explanations for human behavior. – Wikipedia
The aphorism was a meme I recently saw on my Facebook News Feed.
If you watch any commercial TV, you may have seen ads for a health product called Superbeets. The spokesperson for the product is none other than Dana Loesch.
None other than?
Dana Loesch is also the controversial spokesperson for the NRA. She was ever present on NRATV with narration for the organization’s videos.
One video is ostensibly a recruitment video. It is nothing less than a vitriolic, inflammatory incitement to violent resistance to liberals and the liberal media.
It caused quit an uproar even from NRA members asking what the hell happened to the NRA.
In case you just got back from the Moon (which is part of Mars), Trump admitted to George Stephanopoulis that he would collude with a foreign entity to get dirt on his opponent.
He also said the FBI director was wrong when he (FBI guy) said he (Trump) should report any contact.
And now the Chairman of the FEC has weighed in.
I always thought they were illegal: apparently not.
The National Firearms Act of 1934 created strict limits on the ownership of suppressors, or silencers, as they are also known. In the 42 states that permit civilian ownership of the products, individuals must submit an application to the ATF, pass a background check, and pay a $200 tax stamp.
My home state, Ohio, is one of the 42 where they are legal.
While doing research on Trump’s list of people he pardoned, I came across the name Sholom Rubashkin.
Who is Sholom Rubashkin?
I recognized the name from an episode of American Greed . The episode chronicled how Rubashkin managed and operated Agriprocessors, the largest Kosher meat processing plant in the U.S.
On December 14, 2012, Adam Lanza walked into Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newton, Connecticut and slaughtered 20 young students and 6 adults. The children were no older than 8! Soon after, the conspiracy theories started to fly.

There’s an adage:
You can pick your friends.
You can pick your nose,
but you can’t pick your relatives.
Stephen Miller is a low-keyed senior White House advisor to Donald Trump. He is singularly the father of the Zero Tolerance policy that separated immigrant children from their parents. He shares credit for Trump’s Muslim ban with former WH senior staffer Steve Bannon.
Recently an op-ed piece appeared on Politico’s web site and magazine titled:
I thought it odd that when I read a quote of British Monarch Queen Victoria (1837-1901) in which she said, “We are not amused.” that she said “we” instead of “I.”
I later discovered why. She’s speaking for the Empire and not herself. All reigning monarchs use the plural “we.” It’s use has a name. It’s called majestic plural (pluralis maiestatis).
I don’t know how many people may have picked up on this, but when Donald Trump was talking to Kim Jong un, he asked if “I” could get the remains of Korean War MIAs repatriated back to the US. Notice he said “I” and NOT “we.”
What does that tell you about the man?
We are not amused.
From a man who graduated (?) from Wharton School, Donald Trump claims he had been asked by many parents of American soldiers MIA in the Korean War to have their sons remains repatriated to the US.
The Korean War ended 65 years ago.
Apparently Donald Trump never took any history or math classes..
A surviving Korean War veteran would be at least 83 and his parents at least 101 years old.
So Trump communicated with the parents:
Read the article for a good laugh:
It’s been said that no amount of reasoning will convince hard-core Trump supporters that they made a bad choice by voting for him. A recent Gallop Poll showed Trump’s approval rating among Republicans is currently at 85 percent.
However, this poll doesn’t address the issue of how many of that 85% will ignore just about any outlandish or egregious policy decisions he can throw at the American people. Or our steadfast friendly nations given his recent trade tariffs.
Furthermore, 81% of white Evangelical Christians voted for Trump. They overlooked his “grab ‘em by the pussy” comment and voted for him any way.
