Turning the Mundane into Fundane Since 2015
I saw on Twitter over the weekend that Melania Trump accepted her flaming crown as Queen of Hell …



I got confirmation that this was a real billboard in the St. Louis area.

If what that billboard is implying is true, I have only one question …
Aren’t we way overdue for a crucifixion?


I was not shocked when I saw this news story on my phone a week ago.

That did not surprise me or alarm me. Rallies to Make America Great Again cost money. But then there’s this … Continue reading “A Peso for El Paso, Please”
To catch-up the Trump supporters and similar slow/non-readers of this blog, here are the candidates we have eliminated from the Democratic primary race to date.
I mean, really, someone has to tell these people to go home and stop wasting money. I felt bad about the Delaney winnowing since he was the first in the race and seems like a good guy, until I saw this …

We tried another new church on Easter Sunday. We really liked it, except for the booming organ music that shook my dental fillings at times. Maybe we should sit in the back next time, if there is one. It was a church we had tried before, but decided not to visit again due to the service featuring … a puppet show. It wasn’t a creepy or scary puppet show.

But it was still a puppet show. However, we decided to try it again. And we liked it! I thought maybe we had found our new church home, until I spotted this in the church bulletin …
My wife slightly overbaked some cookies that we were going to take for a family Easter gathering, so my daughter and I got to decorate those and keep them. Score! No, I did not add 5 minutes to her timer. In addition, my wife was thoughtful enough to bake the random dough shapes that were leftover after using the cookie cutter. I was thrilled to see this one.

No, the NJ does not stand for No Jesus in honor of the Easter story that says they found his tomb empty. It stands for something else.

Since the Republican Tax “Cut” imposed upon USA taxpayers in 2017 has resulted in Americans paying more in 2018 income taxes, I am going to help taxpayers out by reducing government costs. Maybe the next President will actually cut middle class taxes in 2021 because of my ideas.
The Mueller report will be issued this week. We can reasonably expect text like this in the report …

Attorney General William Barr is working on redactions, so it may look like this when published …
This is not becoming a favorite recurring blog post of mine. I liked it when I was eliminating candidates such as John Hickenlooper, Bernie Sanders, and Comrade Tulsi Gabbard from the Democratic presidential race. But now I have to start cutting some good people, like this guy.
Three guesses who he is. Go …
Nope, nope, and nope. That presidential candidate is …

I not only get Likes, Comments, and Retweets, but I also get mail. Here’s page 1 of what was left in my mailbox this week. I felt so ‘Mueller reportish’ as I redacted names after I confirmed that the person who sent this actually exists at the address they listed.
After an initial reading, I was unclear if this person is alt-right or alt-left. I reread and still have no clue. They do mention the 2nd Amendment on Page 1, but not in a ‘for or against’ way. Maybe just alt-crazy? Of course, I could not resist adding my own comments in red and in white over some redactions.
Page 1 follows:

2 more pages to go. Here’s Page 2, definitely hand-written by the person who signed this.
Is it crazy that I get worried that Trump hasn’t tweeted in over 18 hours? You know he’s up. You know he’s been watching Fox & Friends. Why no tweets? It makes me worried when he doesn’t tweet, like he is dealing with an actual national security issue. With his dissolving brain, that is cause for concern.
Okay, this is turning into live-blogging. As I type this post, Trump tweeted this …

Ah, that’s better. There is something comforting to me about Trump getting back to tweeting and wasting his time rather than potentially governing. This country is really messed up.
Yesterday, I introduced you to stories from the childhood of my grandmother and her siblings, my great aunts and uncles. For today, I threatened promised stories of the parents, my great grandmother and great grandfather. I am making good on that threat promise, so here we go. First up is a story of how my family history is similar to the Trump family in one special way.
