Andrew Gillum — remember him?

You know  —  the former Mayor of Tallahassee,   who was the Democrat candidate for governor in 2016.   Florida should count itself lucky that Ron  DeSantis won.   According to the  police report,  in the early hours of February 13, Miami Beach police responded to a possible overdose in a hotel room.   When they arrived, they discovered three men: a man who overdosed;  a man who made the 911 call;  and Andrew Gillum.    The explanations offered don’t seem very stout to me,  and one has to wonder about Gillum’s choice of  “friends.”

UPDATE:  I think one can also wonder if his political star  just extinguished  itself.

UPDATE:  Well,  now we know all three men were naked, and one of them was a gay escort.   Does that suggest anything to you?   It also makes me think the cops  and the press  certainly were aware of similar behavior in the past.  What do you imagine we’d have known quite a while ago if Mr. Gillum were a difference race and political persuasion?

UPDATE:  Mr. Gillum has now quit politics and  entered rehab,   so he is acknowledging he is toast,  but hoping to skate under the very low Democratic bar of bad behavior.

UPDATE:  And yes,   Gillum  most certainly  did deserve  the humiliation,  the outing and whatever other nastiness  comes his way.   If you remember Trayvon Martin,  you know why.

UPDATE:  Has Gillum convinced himself he  can escape  all of this?   Or is he just even dumber  and more arrogant than I knew?

How expected…

I’ve been waiting several days for  this excuse to come out,  but I’m curious as to why it took Smollett so long to think of it.   Now I want to hear what drug(s) made him a bald-faced liar and fantasist,  yet allowed him to keep a job which required at least a modicum of acting skills.   Perhaps he’ll come up with an answer after he throws his enabler buddies under the bus.

 

Too few good men…

Hat tip to Ramesh Ponnuru for providing us the link to Mark Perry’s depressing article  on the problems military recruitment is currently undergoing.   And yeah,  that goes for the females as well.

My family has been in America since before it was America,  and every generation has seen military service,  right through to the present.   The current dilemma is largely a result of progressive policies demonizing the military,  the horrors of the modern educational system run nearly everywhere by liberals and progressives,  and idiot parents who produce incurious, arrogant, unfit snowflakes who can’t manage to get their underwear washed and attend a few classes a day without the support of a life counselor and a crying closet.  My parents would have disowned me  if I had been such a pathetic weakling, and they would have been right to.

If you were born in any of America’s ghettos,  you will probably never meet your father,  who your mother may or may not be able to identify. If you live in a progressive city,  you are likely doomed to join a gang for protection since the politicians won’t let the police patrol your neighborhood, or put away the criminals who control the hoods.  But if you can manage to become at least semi-literate,  the military offers you a door not opened for you elsewhere.  Grit your teeth,  hang on by your fingernails and at least get enough education to qualify for the service.  It makes men of many,  and some of them turn out to be very, very good men.

 

Barack the drug king…

This column indicates why His Oneness was the  most successful  drug dealer of all time.   Pay special attention to the charts showing addictions growing along with ObamaCare.

 

 

Heartburn meds…

If you think most doctors bother to read the microscopic fine print on the information fold-outs that come with modern medicine,  you are dead wrong,  and if you count on them to do what is really your job,  you may well end up actually dead.

So all you heartburn and acid reflux sufferers  take notice  and protect yourselves.

 

 

 

Stoned driving…

Who knew?  Driving while stoned out of your mind is just  as dangerous as driving when you’re drunk.   The geniuses who run the state of Washington,  and who approved the legalization of pot,  seem astonished by this news.   Did they not remember what happened in the 60’s and 70’s when all the potheads and hippies were on the road?   Were they too stoned themselves to remember,  or are they just too stupid now to grasp it?

Cancer treatment…

There is a  new treatment  for breast cancer which is proving extremely effective,  and offers fresh hope for those who suffer from this disease.

World-class jerk…

Remember Martin Shkreli,  the pharmaceutical CEO who jacked up the price of a drug used to treat infections in HIV patients?  He was called to testify before Congress,  and did an excellent job  of cementing  his well-earned reputation as a world-class jerk.   I can’t imagine his performance will help him in his trial for fraud charges relating to the hedge fund he managed.

 

 

Captagon driving jihad?

I very much doubt it is the  driving force  behind radical Islam,  but I’m quite sure it is helpful to the jihadists.

 

 

Mexican drug cartels…

This is an  interesting look at Mexican drug cartels,  even though it contradicts some earlier information by officials.   Why does it matter to you?   Because the jihadists are already in contact with the cartels for the purpose of moving men and materials across our southern border.   You know,  the one which His Oneness assures us has never been more secure.
