Let Me Get This Straight

By Rich Kozlovich

Copying and pasting pictures or cartoons from a site directly into my articles is often times impossible.  So, for years I managed to overcome that by saving them to my pictures file and then I could copy and paste them into whatever article I was working on.  Blogger, which owns all the Blogger blogs, and is part of Google, decided they would no longer permit that unless they could plant cookies in my computer and be given access to any cookies already there.  

Yeah, right, that just ain't gonna happen.  

So, that brings me to Powerline, a news site I follow.   They regularly run a snarky satirical Week in Pictures segment, and there’s some really good stuff there, which I can no longer duplicate, however, here's one of the cartoons I was able to find on line. 

 

So, I’ve put together this paraphrased article of what I consider the best and snarkiest pictures, which I've titled, "Let me get this straight." 

1. Everyone hates white people but everyone wants to move into communities dominated by white people.   
2. Muslims hate pork, beer, dogs, bikinis, and freedom of speech.  So why do they come to America?   
3. The left wants to confiscate guns.  So, how about first taking them from criminals, you know, like a test run?  
4. Rioters are burning the American flag screaming death to America and waving the flag of the country they desperately don’t want to be deported back to.   
5. The left “spontaneously” held "No King" demonstrates in cities all over the nation… and on the same day.   Did I mention spontaneous?  Yet they’re the same people who want bigger government that controls their health care, their pay, their speech, raises their children, controls their land, and their future.   
6. Now that Iran’s nuclear goals are toast that leaves only three Muslim nations with nukes.  Pakistan, France, and the UK.  
7. Before Trump bombed Iran’s nuke facilities CNN claimed that wasn't necessary because Iran wasn’t even close to making a bomb.  After the bombing they claim Iran can make a bomb tomorrow.   
8. Iran says they destroyed 14 bunker bombs with their nuclear facilities, and are calling that a victory.
9. What were the top four reasons why Democrats weren’t informed about the bombing ahead of time.  Alexandria Ocasios-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, and Raship Tlaib.
10. If the current media outlets were in business during WWII they would've insisted Hiroshima’s bombing hardly damaged the city.    
11. Far left actor Mark Ruffalo insists capitalism is failing us, killing us, robbing us of our children’s future.  So, since entirely too many are getting rich making movies, entertainment should be free, for the public good.  No one should profit from it, since that’s exploitation, and besides, entertainment is a human right.  So, let’s create a Department of Entertainment as a single provider with equal pay for actors and postal workers.    
12. What’s the most important quality men should look for in woman?  Double XX chromosomes. 
13. It’s being reported that the number of women afflicted with sexually transmitted diseases is skyrocketing, and racism and misogyny are responsible.

I'm adding two points that weren't in the picture parade, but they fit.  Rosie O'Donnell, who was never known for being trim and slim, now claims her overeating and over drinking is Trump's fault. So, are we to assume she was a slim drug free teetotaler before Trump was elected?  Interesting!  Is that more believable than saying rain isn't wet.  

Then there's Rep. Bowman who says the higher rate of cancer, heart disease, and diabetes in blacks is because of the stress they're under for being called the N word.   Not the stress caused by having a 70% illegitimacy rate, a huge percentage of single parent families, or their indulgence in illegal drugs, selling and using, overall criminal activity, penchant for violence, and bad diet. Noooo, it's name calling.   I'm not sure if that means being called the N word by other blacks or is it just whitey's fault?
