"Success will bring the country together,” said President Trump in his Super Bowl interview

Of course not! Too many people have been taught — by elementary school teachers, middle and high school teachers, and college professors — that this country is irredeemably evil. They will be in no way happy if the US is successful.

To the evil religous cult that is the Democrat party and their cult media - this means war.

For the 25th year in a row, I have no idea who's playing in the Super Bowl. If it's not played in weather below 0 F or in deep mud, football holds no interest.

I assume the progs won't watch because it's on FOX?

Jaq said...

If he is successful in breaking the iron rice bowls of the DC insiders and their henchmen in the bureaucracy, there are still going to be a fair number of unhappy people, and they control the media.

The donut shop had two tip boxes out, one for KC and the other for Philly. The KC box seemed to have more bills in it, and more large ones--I saw a few 20s.

Normally I tip there when I buy something, but I skipped it today.

Pleasantly surprised its been relatively leftie-propaganda free when I’ve focused one eye their way…yay Trump though. Kara Schwisser must be extra insurrection-ey after that…

Iman said...

Missed the interview, but Jaq is correct… there will be many people absolutely verklempt about being kicked off the gravy train. Some may even find themselves in legal jeopardy.

And for good reason.

Swifties vs cheesesteaks

DEI vs DEI.

We get the circuses. They keep the bread for themselves.

Yancey Ward said...

I don't much care who wins tonight but, for novelty, I hope KC becomes the first 3-Peat winner.

Leland said...

Fox going heavy on the patriotism. They even have a former Patriot doing color commentary.

Arashi said...

Yes some folks will still be upset. These are the people that if someone gave them a brand new Lamborghini, they would complain that it was the wrong color and if red, call their attorney to sue for being triggered.

Love will keep us together. (Although it didn't keep the Captain and Tennille together.)

Big Mike said...

@Yancey Ward, 1st half is all Eagles defense.

gilbar said...

With Taylor Swift's support; HOW can Harris lose?

Big Mike said...

(And so far the commercials have not been impressive. There was one where a man is holding his little girl and having flash-forwards to when he teaches her to drive and later still when he drops her off at college that appealed to an old softy like me, but mostly just meh.)

Larry J said...

Democrats are only happy when they’re in power, the graft is flowing, and America is losing.

traditionalguy said...

DJT said the forbidden word: KICKBACKS. So Brett Baer never mentioned it.

Narr said...

@Big Mike (7:24)

Be glad the commercial wasn't about proud Pop driving his little girl to their first abortion.

I saw the last third of the second quarter, looked in at the Puppy Bowl, and went back a few minutes into the halftime show. Fascinating, in its way.

I wonder what it's supposed to mean.

Leland said...

If the Chiefs don’t win, how will Travis Kelce propose to Taylor?

NorthOfTheOneOhOne said...

Well, looks like we'll be getting a new album soon once Taylor writes 47 different songs about how disappointed she is that her boyfriend's team lost.

Big Mike said...

@Leland, he won’t be able to propose — she’ll start dating someone else.

Big Mike said...

@Leland, I think Jalen Hurts is single. Maybe Swift can date him instead?

JRoberts said...

Regarding the halftime show, another year of boring hip-hop (or whatever this was). Rick Beato is right, modern popular music is dead.

Being in New Orleans, it would have great to have had a significant jazz representation. Trombone Shorty, Perservation Hall Band, etc. would have been an improvement over Kendrick Lamar.

BTW, is anybody else getting tired of Samuel L. Jackson and his Shtick?

Clever Pseudonym said...

Yes, to JRoberts' suggestion:
Trombone Shorty, Kermit Ruffins, the Rebirth Brass Band etc: NOLA musicians would have rocked the house with some real funky jazz and instrumental skill, not tedious rapping.
(I love hip hop but live performances are its weak spot.)

It remined me of this gem.

Mahomes showed a lot of character. I don't think a QB has ever been sacked that much in a Superbowl. He really got run over a few times, but he hung in there.......I looked up the lyrics to Not Like Us, the Kendrick Lamar rap song. Then I asked ChatGpt what the lyrics meant. Apparently he accuses Drake of pedophilia in the song. How is that not defamation:

Ice Nine said...

Halftime show was dreadful. Monotonous, unintelligible muttering. Could they at least have danced a bit?

Where's Prince when you really need him?

Narr said...

I understand that the halftime rapper was Kendrick Lamar, and the girl singer was Memphis' own Flo-rilla.

A proud moment for us.

Following up on Big Mike, the major problem in America since Obama got elected is the notion that the greatest signifies that you don't deserve to succeed is actual success.

tommyesq said...

Also, could you imagine Jeep running the Harrison Ford jingoistic pro America ad during the Biden years?

effinayright said...

The only commercial that got even a snort from me was the one with the Man with a Cowboy Head. The rest? Meh. We watched Mark Levin during halftime, and were thus spared the savage shit that is hip hop. (as Mark would say, "There. I said it.")

Leland said...

I clicked off near the start of the 4th quarter. Hurts 50+ yard, all-air, TD pass was just the chefs kiss to a deserved win.

Curious George said...

"Apparently he accuses Drake of pedophilia in the song. How is that not defamation:"

How? If it's true.
