Trump's Not a Racist; He's a 'Scorch'
2018-01-17
[PJMedia] I have news for Cory Booker -- now dubbed Cryin' Cory on Twitter, evidently because he got a little bent over some recent remarks of our president. Donald Trump's not a racist. He's a "scorch."

Wazzat, you ask?

As a rough contemporary of the president, hailing from the same metropolis, he from Queens and me from somewhat more tony Manhattan, parts of it anyway, I remember a certain type of schoolyard personality being called a "scorch." At least it went that way at Senator Robert F. Wagner Senior Junior High School, aka JHS 167, back in the fifties.

A scorch was the kind of kid who, when someone muffed an easy fly in stickball, would scream out, seemingly totally incensed, "You [f-word]ing [derogatory word for Puerto Rican], how could you [f-word]ing drop that [f-word]ing ball, you dumb [f-word]ing [derogatory word for Puerto Rican] idiot?!"

Of course, no one paid that much attention because it was just one of our scorches -- there were more than one, of all races and creeds -- mouthing off and, soon enough, he and the Puerto Rican kid were heading off to the local candy store together -- known, in my case, as Jesse's Jip Joint -- to share a cup of hot French Fries with way too much ketchup, as if they were best buddies. Indeed, often, they were.

Now we have a "scorch" as president. Some say this is a bad thing. I -- you may guess -- say no. A president who is a scorch is just what America needs after decades of escalating political correctness that, of late, has reached ultra-nauseating levels, particularly on our college campuses and among the mega-hypocritical (someone has to come out with a neologism that goes beyond mere hypocrisy) media, almost all of whom say scorch-like things when they don't think anyone's listening. It's human life.

Ah, you're saying, but he's monsieur le président. He must be diplomatique.

Oh, really? Like the foreign minister of Norway or some such?

How about someone who creates real change and actually makes things better for the people he helps govern in a democratic state, but on occasion says ugly things that might make you wince (or not)?
As past republican presidencies show, he'll going to attacked and compared to both a monkey and H*tler (but never to Stalin or Mao) regardless of what he says or does - so, what the hell? This one constantly distracts the "elites" attack bulls with his twitting muleta, making them miss the sword entirely

Let them try.

The last thing you want is me in charge.
