Is This Guy Too Much, Or What? He's The Best!

POLIATRICS? Here's What It's All About . . .


Call it poliatrics.

It's at the intersection of politics and theatrics. And if you think it doesn't exist, you haven't been paying attention. In fact, highly theatrical moments have helped to define the major political figures of this country and theatrics have played a huge role in American politics and the presidency for more than a century.

Let's review some of the major rules of the show business and see how they apply:

1) Hype The Big Event. No performance can succeed without a hype -- even presidential inaugurals and political conventions. And part of the hype is keeping the audience guessing. After all, a certain shroud of mystery does wonders for heightening expectation. In 1964, President Lyndon Johnson needed to build anticipation for what would otherwise be a pro forma Democrat National Convention in Atlantic City. So, he staged an elaborate guessing game surrounding his vice presidential pick and kept everyone waiting until the last possible moment (even setting up decoys) before bringing on Hubert Humphrey. 

2) Make a Grand Entrance. Really Big Stars don't just walk onto a stage or a movie set, they make an Entrance. One of the first things Ronald Reagan learned when he was under contract to Warner Brothers was how to throw back his shoulders, lift his head high, rise up and stride forward purposefully. Of course it helped that he was also one of the first actors to wear contact lenses and his outfits were perfectly tailored from that day forward. Small wonder that defining what it meant to look and act presidential later came natural to this guy!

3) Give 'Em What They Came For. Can Springsteen appear without singing Glory Days? Fat chance! Ya gotta give the audience what they want. So Obama never gave a stump speech without Hope and Change. And when Trump's rally rhetoric reaches its climactic moment, you can guarantee it will build to that familiar litany ending with Make America Great Again. Feed 'em the vittles they crave!

4) Be Bigger Than Life. The big screen was invented for  bigger than life stars and stories. 125 years ago, Teddy Roosevelt ushered in an epic American era in part by establishing such a formidable stage presence that it was impossible to ignore him. He was vivid, daring, surprising, brash and (at the dawn of the motion picture era) visually intuitive. Hugely consequential, he helped to define not only the modern presidency but the 20th century itself. By sheer force of will he seemed to thrust America onto the world stage once and for all. And America and the presidency haven't been the same since.

5) Perfect The Comeback. In show business a setback is nothing more than a setup for a comeback. And nobody understood this better than Richard Nixon who, after losing the presidency in one of the closest races ever in 1960, came back to win the office in 1968. Ditto Donald Trump, who did it back-to-back in 2020 and 2024, becoming only the second president ever to serve two non-consecutive terms. And, how about the redoubtable Comeback Kid himself, Bill Clinton who bounced back after losing the governorship of Arkansas and rose from the ashes again during the 1992 Democrat presidential primaries. Yowza!

6) Always Leave 'Em Begging For More. AKA get the hell to get off the stage before they give you the hook. AKA don't overstay your welcome. Here's the deal: Ya gotta leave while the audience still loves you, while they're still crazy about you, before you're past your due date. Vain as they are, few (if any!) politicians have learned when and how to make a graceful exit. And here, they're mostly all notable for failing. Pelosi and Schumer immediately come to mind. But the penultimate (and most embarrassing) example remains Joe Biden. Two words: rotten tomatoes!

So now you know why they call politics "show business for ugly people." That's all folks!

Well, It's A Monstrosity -- That's For Sure!

It has its dedication today.

It's called the Obama Presidential Center on the South Side of Chicago.

The Wall Street Journal calls it "a tower fit for a Pharaoh" and adds that its "colossal, haughty and ultimately inscrutable." They've also characterized it as a vanity project that "looks like a refrigerator that dropped off the Death Star" and an edifice that "doesn’t suggest any mistakes were made by its subject, nor does it delve into any related controversies." 

And this was one of the kinder reviews.

It sort of reminds us of Obamacare -- a big, ugly, intrusive, expensive imposition that lives up to all our worst fears.

And It's Damned UGLY, Too!

The Obama Presidential Library in Chicago is reportedly two years past its "opening" date, $600 million over budget and, some say many of the contractors have not been paid. On top of it all, its just this side of grotesque. Would you want this monstrosity in your neighborhood?

An Important Announcement From President Trump

Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump

Barack Hussein Obama’s Deal with Iran, the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a Nuclear Weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago, and would have used long before now. My Agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, A WALL TO NO NUCLEAR WEAPON! In fact, they no longer want a Nuclear Weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development, or any other form of procurement. The Deal is scheduled to get signed tomorrow, and immediately after it is signed, the Hormuz Strait is OPEN TO ALL. Our relationship with Iran is a much different and better one than previous Administrations have had. Unlike Obama’s Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in payments to them, including 1.7 Billion Dollars in green, cold cash, no money will exchange hands. At the appropriate time, when all is calm, we will go in and get the Nuclear Dust, buried deep under the powerful sunken granite mountains, thanks to our beautiful B-2 Bombers and their brilliant pilots, and downblend and destroy it, whether in Iran, or the United States. We look forward to working with Iran, and the entire Middle East, long into the future. Hopefully, this process will all work out quickly, easily, and smoothly. If it doesn’t, we have the ultimate alternative, hopefully never to be used again! Thank you for your attention to this matter!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP

OMG! The Contrast Is VERY Revealing!

Pope, Cardinals Ought Remember This . . .

MAGA didn't sue nuns to make them provide birth control or bend the knee to trans ideology.

MAGA didn't arrest innocent abortion protestors and charge them with federal crimes.

MAGA didn't try to make priests break the seal of the confessional. MAGA didn't label Catholics "domestic terrorists" and weaponize the FACE Act. Democrats did all this!

And one more thing? Who's appointees finally succeeded in getting Roe vs Wade overturned? That would Donald Trump and a Republican Senate.

Democrats harassed, berated, denigrated and tried to jail Catholics. Just ask the Little Sisters of the Poor who were sued or Mark Houck, a Pennsylvania pro-life Catholic activist who was arrested by the Biden Justice Department.

President Trump overturned all that. Trump delivered for Catholics.

Maybe it's time for the leaders of the "one true holy Catholic and apostolic church" to consider the central role of gratitude in the life of the Church.

Pope Meets With Obama's Guy As Olympians Wait

CHICAGO DEMOCRAT MACHINE? Pope Leo XIV apparently showed up a half hour late for Italian Olympic and Paralympic officials because he was huddled in a private meeting with David Axelrod, Barack Obama's "chief strategist".

So, is the Vatican getting strategy sessions from the guy who helped ram through abortion-on-demand, forced nuns to fund contraception, and pushed open borders? Whew!
What do you think is really going on here? Note -- above has been verified as follows: According to reports from April 9, 2026, Pope Leo held a private audience with David Axelrod, the former chief strategist for Barack Obama. The meeting took place at the Vatican amid strained U.S. ties, with discussions potentially involving a future meeting between the Pope and Obama.

Biden's Racial Stereotype? They Laughed It Off!
