Never Forget the Bowling Green Massacre

~ Jim Flanigan

Kellyanne Conway gave us a sad reminder last night on MSNBC to never forget the Bowling Green Massacre that was perpetrated by radicalized Iraqi refugees in 2011. Her words that touched my heart last night … “I bet it’s brand new information to people that President Obama had a six-month ban on the Iraqi refugee program after two Iraqis came here to this country, were radicalized and they were the masterminds behind the Bowling Green massacre.”

It was only six years ago, but I have to admit I do not remember images of mourners laying flowers on the victim’s graves in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Let’s all take a look back at the facts surrounding the Bowling Green Massacre:

I’m Unfair to Myself?

~ Jim Flanigan ~ 2 Comments

It looks like anti-Trump activists are trying to schedule a nationwide general strike to protest Trump policies on February 17th. I’m usually up for all Trump protests, but I feel conflicted on this one. The problem is …

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

~ Jim Flanigan

Is it just me, or is Kellyanne Conway looking more and more evil each day? She looks like she’s waiting for Snow White to take a bite from a poison apple in this recent pic …

I think she’s trying to keep pace in the evil department with the rest of the Trumpsters. But at the rate they’re going with their evil plans, she may have to look like this soon to keep up with the rest of them …

The Alarming Clock

doomsday-clock

I see that recently those crazy atomic scientists moved the Doomsday Clock to 2 & 1/2 minutes to midnight, as close to the midnight hour as it has been in decades. That was big news, but I think they totally overlooked a looming problem. Daylight Savings Time starts on March 12th. Don’t we turn our clocks ahead a whole hour then? Gulp.

Foul Play

~ Jim Flanigan

The NBA is having a little trouble with the new immigration rules as some NBA players may be affected when they travel to Toronto for a game with the Raptors, and then try and return to the USA. The NBA is also anticipating trouble for its Basketball Without Borders Global Camp, scheduled to take place during this weekend’s upcoming All Star Game activities.

The NBA does not appear ready to scrap that program, but may just tweak it a bit …

Nazis Have Feelings, Too

“I mean, everyone’s suffering in the Holocaust …” – Reince Priebus (Trump’s Chief of Staff), Meet The Press 1-29-17

Yes, we know Reince, Nazi Lives Matter, too.

Hats Off (due) to Trump

~ Jim Flanigan

After just 1 week of the Trump Reich, I am sad to report that I think it is just about time to buy a Make America Great Again hat and start wearing it.

My current cap just doesn’t cut it anymore …

Now that Trump is steering us towards becoming a Western Russian state, I just don’t feel comfortable wearing it anymore. America WAS already great. Now after just 1 week of being Trumpified, there’s not so much greatness anymore. I may have to revert to my pre-election hat …

Although I don’t think I can wear a MAGA hat, I think now and for the next 4 years, it may be most appropriate.

Please Pass the Spellcheck

I really can’t add much to this except to say that this is a 100% real tweet …

Obama’s Oversight

~ Jim Flanigan

A week after leaving office in an exclusive interview with our crack investigative team, President Obama admitted a major oversight during his administration. “I’m not really sure how we missed it,” puzzled the former President. “Everyone knew we were going to do it, and then we just never got around to it.”

Always Open With a Joke

~ Jim Flanigan

My youngest daughter is doing a presentation today on immigration. She practiced in front of me and I gave her some tips, being the polished public speaker I am. I thought her presentation needed some punching up, so I suggested she open with this Trump immigration joke …

Yes WWE Can!

~ Jim Flanigan

Linda McMahon, former owner of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), brought some old friends with her for support to the Senate Committee meeting discussing her qualifications to be the Administrator of the Small Business Administration.

Hulkamania ran wild as Hulk Hogan himself, never camera shy,  took a seat directly next to Linda McMahon and stared down Democratic Senators as seen in this photo …
