Legendary rocker Bon Jovi, along with gospel duo The War and Treaty, has released a video to go along with his song “House of Love.” Obviously Bon Jovi doesn’t need to prove anything to anybody and probably couldn’t care less if he loses fans but this latest song of his has got to be one of the worst political songs I’ve ever heard.
Clearly meant to be a nod to Kamala Harris and I wonder if this song is going to age poorly. At this point, Harris still has a chance and anything’s possible but I have serious doubts she’ll have enough votes to be the next president. Also, if you haven’t voted yet, get out there and do your part! Whether you vote for this candidate or this one or the few others on the ballot, we can still be friends, right? Kinda like the relationship between country singer Brad Paisley and his bud Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Remember this horrendous song from 2023?
When did Bon Jovi get so soft? All along I’ve thought rockers were edgy, tough, but I guess liberals think that’s too toxic. I remember the first time I had question marks about Bon Jovi being the Bon Jovi we remember from the 80s. It was in a duet with Jennifer Nettles back in 2009. He does have a luscious head of hair, though.
Maybe I just don’t like Bon Jovi’s music? Is that the moral of this story?
Shark Tank Guru and Harris Geek Squad Member Mark Cuban sat down with self-proclaimed geek Kamala Harris to ask her a few questions about her policies. I’ll save you 6 minutes by giving you the highlights…
Mark: What does the grind of campaigning feel like? Kamala: I go all day long. Me: That’s what she said.
Mark (expectantly): What does your workout look like?? Kamala: I get on the elliptical. Mark: *waiting for more* Kamala: *No, that’s it*
Mark: Why are you a geek? Kamala: My mom was a scientist, right? Mark: Yes. Me: I thought she grew up in a middle class home.
Mark: You said it only took a year to build the Empire State Building. Kamala: Yes. Mark: *contines to ask a random question about the deficit* Me: 🤔
Kamala: …in terms of… Me: I hope they copyrighted this signature phrase.
Kamala: I love how you finish my… Mark: Sentences. Both: 🤗
Kamala: Trump is applying a machete. Mark: *nods* Me: When’s the last time anyone “applied” a machete to something? Next thing you know they’re gonna say Tim Walz taught football.
Mark: Trump is the Grinch that stole Christmas.. This time next year… Me: Did he ALREADY steal it or he’s GOING to steal it? Me: *confused* Mark: All China toys are gonna be too expensive, Christmas is officially ruined.
Kamala: I’m going to build everyone a house. Mark: work life balance! Me: 🥴
I didn’t wake up thinking today was going to be so colorful but right from the get-go the color wheel was spinning. Let’s start at the beginning: When I woke up it was pitch black outside. In the car I listened to the radio and found out Tulsi Gabbard is going red— officially joining the Republican Party. I also heard Chris Hansen (yes, THAT Chris Hansen) promoting the little blue pill– Viagra (boing!).
I went swimming in a city pool and wore my turquoiseTyr swim jammers for the first time. Someone at the pool brought up another swimming opportunity at Rainbow River. Later on I stopped by Sam’s Club and picked up a bunch of still-green-on-the-outside bananas. Back on the radio, I learned that apparently Donald Trump is a “pathological liar” while Tim Walz’s lying is considered a gray area.
I could go on and on but orange you glad I’m stopping here? I post every day at 1pm central so come white back tomorrow for more!
Donald Trump is in the news for something unexpected: going to McDonald’s to experience life as a fry cook.
Lovin’ It. Is anyone surprised he went to the GOLDEN arches to do it? Democrats probably thought he’d go to Burger KING (since he’s going to be a dictator on day 1 and all). But there’s something special about that double cheese burger at McDonald’s, right? Great childhood memories with the happy meals, playgrounds, milkshakes, fries. Plus the toys, the Hamburglar. Ronald McDonald. Or should I say, Ronald Donald McTrump?
Do You Want Fries With That? Asking if “you want fries with that” was once the butt of jokes, especially when a star fell from grace but now Donald Trump went in like an undercover boss and worked a McDonald’s drive-through. The stunt has supersized the TDS for all the Democrats out there, even the “golden” child AOC chimed in. Here’s the cold, hard truth: they can’t handle that they got their McNuggets handed to them. The ice cream machine might be broken but Trump’s stunt is working, and working like a charm.
She’s Just the Dollar Menu Obama. Meanwhile, their candidate can’t seem to do anything right: Did you hear what Harris said about Jimmy Carter voting (below)? Or how she made a special appearance at a Christian church after blasting a Christian a few days earlier? The list goes on and on…
I was able to take advantage of early voting this week and I’m happy to say I did NOT vote for these two candidates. I voted for a person who aligns more with what I wish for the future of the United States. Yes, I’m talking about McDonald Trump. His personality is a little irritating sometimes and he’s more on the narcissist side than most people I know. But when it comes down to the welfare of America, he’ll do his best because doing his best makes himself look good. In turn, it helps the country be great again. Unlike Kamala Harris who apparently wants to make America like Detroit (according to Lizzo) along with her running mate who all but admitted the $25,000 down payment assistance he and Kamala are dangling in front of voters is really a loan.
If you’re undecided, I plead for you to vote Trump/Vance. At the very least, you’ll have more money in your pocket because it’s almost a sure thing that prices for everything will go back down. And for all you girl parents out there, think about how great it is when your daughters can be involved in fair sports– competition with so many great life lessons to be learned– Trump seems to put a high level of importance on keeping men out of women’s sports. A return to common sense, this is what your Trump vote means.
That’s why I was proud to fill in that little circle next to his and JD Vance’s names here in the capital of Florida. For what it’s worth, I also voted ‘no’ on Amendment 3 (who wants Florida to smell like weed everywhere they go?) and ‘no’ on Amendment 4 (too vague on changing abortion from a 6-week ban to terminating the pregnancy before viability… whatever that means??).
Get out there and vote and on your way, grab a Happy Meal.
Kamala Harris used all her familiar tools from her political tool belt, including everyone’s favorite– her over-the-top hyena laugh at her own “joke” that no one else really thought was a joke. Here’s a screen shot that pretty much sums up all the moments. The best line of the entire conversation actually came from Kamala herself…
Harris: I’m going to have a Republican in my cabinet because I want good ideas.
