Let me play Nostradamus for a moment: Donald Trump will soon announce his withdrawal from the presidential race due to a brain-eating amoeba that caused him to say stupid, racist, xenophobic things about Mexicans. He hopes thereby to salvage what little street cred he has left among other halfwits.

But his empire tumbles around his dumb ass. After Univision & NBC dumped him, his misogynist pageants, & the Celebrity Apprentice, Macy’s (where he sells a line of vulgar & flashy men’s clothing & jewelry) & Serta also dumped him. Costa Rica, Mexico, & Bogota pulled out of the Miss Universe pageant; performers & the two cohosts pulled out of the July 12th Miss USA pageant.

Adios amigo! Don’t let the door hit your dumb ass on the way out. And wipe that smug look off your face.

Researchers at the University of Vermont conclude that those with blue eyes are more prone to alcoholism. So glad they cleared that up. We won’t ask why they were looking at such an inane connection but we would like to ask, “Now what?” Or should the question be “So what?”

The feudal trappings & homage given to some religious figures don’t appeal to me but they’re not of concern to me. When they start talking politics, that does interest me. Like when Pope Francis remains silent on ethnic cleansing in Gaza while schmoozing with the Israeli president. Or when the Dalai Lama talks about compassion & love for humanity & then pays tribute & hangs out with George W. Bush, the man who lied the US into the Iraq War.

On two occasions now–once in a 2012 interview with Piers Morgan & yesterday at the G.W. Bush presidential center in Dallas, TX–the Dalai Lama expressed personal love for Bush but only “reservations” about his barbaric & murderous war against Iraq.

It was a regular little love-fest yesterday between the Dalai Lama & Bush–a man most of humanity wants prosecuted for the hell he created for the Iraqi people. It’s a slippery slope the Dalai Lama is on: do we personally love Hitler, Stalin, Omar Suleiman (the torturer), Pinochet, Netanyahu, Kissinger, Mubarak, Sisi, et al, & just have “reservations” about their unspeakable crimes? Does criminality on such a scale mean nothing?
