3 Whisky Happy Hour

Wot Corruption?

Subscribe to 3 Whisky Happy HourSubscribe

Lucretia hosts this week's episode, and as Hamilton predicted about how executive power would promote sobriety, the awesome responsibility of the host chair led Lucretia to praise Kevin McCarthy for the second week in a row, and she even has nice things to say about Steve!

After the smelling salts were passed round to John and Steve (and fresh glasses of whisky poured), the bartenders get down to business, breaking down the rising anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party; Lucretia's first-hand report from the border in the immediate aftermath of the end of Title 42 and where the immigration disaster will go next (and once again, the responsible Lucretia surprises with her sympathy for asylum seekers); the travesty of the criminal indictment of Marine veteran Daniel Penny for his justified act of self-defense on the New York subway (just think of it as the attempt to run George Floyd 2.0); what to make of Trump's humiliation of CNN; what to make of the week's revelations of the Biden Family Crime Syndicate; and what to make of the Supreme Court interposing itself—by a rare 9 - 0 vote—between federal corruption probes of the states.

Because we're waiting on a serious corruption probe into the Bidens, and to go with our thoughts on how the country is repeating the worst of the 1970s, exit music this week is an old 70s-era Ambrosia tune, "Time Waits for No One."

Why am I searching and when will I know?

Are the years that I've waited with nothing to show?

I'm ready to listen I'm ready to win

But I can't wait much longer before we begin

Time waits for no one

Time waits for no one

No one, no one

Hosted by John Yoo, 'Lucretia', and Steve Hayward

    Thoughts partway through:

    • We are living in the classic 1981 film Escape from New York. Rewatch it, if it's been a while. Heck, watch it again no matter how recently you last saw the movie. As one reviewer wrote, "John Carpenter was Tarantino long before Tarantino was Tarantino."
    • Lucretia's noble sympathy for the exploited illegal aliens harkens to Chris Christie's fleeting success as governor of New Jersey, when he explained to the exploited union members that their leaders had been lying to them for decades about their underfunded pensions.
    • I've been to the AZ-Mexico border, and the situation there is dire. Lucretia is correct that the illegal border crossers don't want to stay at the border, they want to get to say, Tucson or Phoenix, where there are opportunities. As any local rancher can tell you - and one local rancher did tell me, cartel Capos are all around, and offer the illegal aliens a ride to Phoenix for ~$2,000. Invariably the illegal alien doesn't have that kind of money, so he or she becomes an indentured servant to the cartel - that knows where the illegal alien's family lives. A couple thousand bucks per passenger enables the cartel to offer a few hundred bucks to a local 15 year old who is willing to steal a car and drive it to Phoenix with 7 or 8 passengers. Thus, even when the illegal aliens arrive safely at their intended destination, they arrive as slaves. "Open borders" is a crime against humanity, that the Democrat Party is committing knowingly and intentionally.

    When the CNN Townhall Moderator Kaitlin Collins moderately badgered Trump to admit that he lost the 2020 election, Trump should have answered

    I admit that I lost the 2020 Presidential election, just as the 1972 US Olympic basketball team lost to the USSR.
