The WIRE: Your week in review

March 17, 2017 By Takingonissues

From Sesame Street to snowed-in streets — and most points in between — it’s time for a look back at the week that was. Personal Liberty Digest® presents: The WIRE!

Snowflake histrionics over President Donald Trump’s budget, claiming cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting threaten PBS’s iconic Sesame Street. Apparently, they forgot Sesame Street has been on premium pay channel HBO since last year.


Big Bird is safe at HBO. At least, as safe as anyone can be at HBO.

Other liberal complaints about the budget included concerns about the president’s travel budget; with critics claiming a weekend at Mar-a-Lago could feed poor children and seniors. By that measure, how many kids and seniors could have dined on what it cost when the Obamas vacationed on separate planes?


“What’s down there, mommy?” “Those are hungry, poor people, Malia.”

The latest video from rap relic Snoop Dogg portrays him shooting a cartoon version of the president, deriving howls of laughter from liberals who thought looking at Obama cross-eyed was high treason. Of course, not everyone yukked it up.


“Yo Snoop! The Secret Service called. They said to lay off the chronic, G.”

Snoop’s nephew could probably use a hit of his uncle’s stash. Rapper Lil’ Bow Wow this week threatened to “pimp out” First Lady Melania Trump; stepping over a line conservatives never crossed with former first lady Michelle Obama.


Granted, ain’t nobody gonna pay for that.

No way could anyone screw up a major legislative rollout as thoroughly as the Democrat Party did with Obamacare.


GOP: “Hold my beer and watch this.”

Some took their criticism of the GOP’s embattled proposal a little too far, with multiple media flacks suggesting the law could cause “thousands of unintended pregnancies.”


“Yeah, soooo, that’s kinda my thing.” – the Holy Spirit

Rachel Maddow’s “big scoop?” President Donald Trump paid nearly $40 million in taxes in 2005. Every year on April 15, he sneaks down to Washington, and pays his fair share!


Is there no end to his villainy?

It may have cost her what’s left of her reputation, but Maddow’s stunt did deliver the top cable ratings of the night.


The worst wrecks always draw the biggest crowds.

Not everyone was disappointed in Maddow’s career suicide.


Back to you, Rachel!

After an ugly anti-Trump tweet was pinned to their official corporate Twitter feed, McDonald’s — whose PR is run by former Obama spokehole Robert Gibbs — blamed an “outside hacker” and released a composite sketch of their top suspect.


Or maybe Gibbs “got it his way.”

Brian Williams whined this week that the Trump administration was trying to create an “alternative universe.”


In one of them, Williams is a real reporter!

A judge in Hawaii quashed President Trump’s latest effort to secure our borders. Must be nice in Hawaii, especially since they shipped their homeless out on one-way tickets.


Wish you were Glad you’re not here!

A liberal assaulted conservative talk show host Michael Savage at a San Francisco restaurant this week. Of course, no charges were filed against the liberal, even though he even kicked Savage’s dog.


Hey, does this mean you can punch random MSNBC hosts in the face? Asking for a friend.

If the recent spell of unseasonably warm temperatures were “proof” of so-called global warming, what were “Winter Storm Stella” and her blizzard conditions?


Besides proof that global warmists are full of crap, I mean.

And that’s your week in review! For the Personal Liberty Digest®, I’m Ben Crystal saying “See you next week on the WIRE!”
