THE BEST FIGHT TOOK PLACE IN THE STANDS

By Howie Katz

 

 

Two fans slug it out in the best fight during the Jake Paul-Mike Tyson bout

 

Friday night's fight between 58-year-old former heavyweight champ Mike Tyson and 27-year-old Jake Paul was boring because Paul did not want to o inflict any unnecessary pain on old Iron Mike who landed only 18 punches during the entire fight. Paul landed 78 punches as he won by a unanimous decision.

The 8-round bout took place before a packed house of 70,00 spectators in the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. The stadium is the home of the Dallas Cowboys.

Two fans slugged it out in the stands. That turned out to be the best fight during the bout between Jake Paul and rusty Iron Mike.


The hardest punch landed by Tyson was the night before the fight when he slapped Paul after the weigh-in

Tyson, 58, was unable to keep pace with his younger opponent and landed only 18 punches

The hardest punch landed by Tyson was the night before the fight when he slapped Paul after the weigh-in.

The fight was also streamed by Netflix to 65 million viewers. The quality of the streaming was very poor. A number of outraged viewers said they were cancelling their subscription to Netflix.

 

But some fans hailed ring girl Sydney Thomas as the real star of the show at AT&T Stadium

Fans declared that ring girl Sydney Thomas was the real winner of the Paul-Tyson bout
 
This was Tyson's first fight in 19 years. Rusty Iron Mike should have stayed home. The fight was so boring that it caused fans to declare that ring girl Sydney Thomas was the real winner of the bout.
 
The 70,000 fans in the stadium and the 65 million Netflix viewers paid to see a knockdown brawl like the three Rocky Graziano-Tony Zale fights, but what they got was a sleeper instead. It's a shame that only a few of the fans got to see the slugfest in the stands.

AFTER MAKING SOME GOOD CABINET PICKS, TRUMP SCRAPED THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL WITH MATT GAETZ AND RFK JR

By Howie Katz

After making some good choices for his cabinet, the president-elect scraped the bottom of the barrel with Matt Gaetz and RFK Jr., their only qualification is being fiercely supportive of Trump.

Trump's former national security adviser John Bolton had this to say about Trumps pick of Matt Gaets to be Attorney General:

“Well, it must be the worst nomination for a cabinet position in American history. Gaetz is not only totally incompetent for this job, he doesn’t have the character. He is a person of moral turpitude, and notwithstanding how difficult it may be politically, this is a nomination the Republican Party should oppose.”

I would add that Gaetz is no friend of the Jewish people. He has called the Anti Defamation League (ADL) a racist organization. And he invited Holocaust denier Charles Johnson to the State of the Union address. Johnson does not believe the Nazis exterminated six million Jews and claims instead that only 250,000 Jews had died of illness. Gaetz has also endorsed the anti-Semitic mantra that Jews killed Jesus.

Trump's choice of RFK Jr. to be Secretary of Health and Human Services is just as bad as his pick of Gantz

 

The 70-year-old Robert F. Kennedy Jr. shared a picture of himself shirtless during his 2024 independent presidential campaign, trying to prove that he was the pinnacle of health without using vaccines

RFK Jr. has been a vocal critic of childhood immunizations. He is opposed to the Covid vaccine. He wants to remove fluoride from our water systems. And he has promised to fire every nutritional scientist in the health and agriculture departments on day one of the Trump presidency.

Gaetz's nomination may not be approved by the Senate, but Trump can still appoint him as Attorney General during a Senate recess.

While loyalty to Trump is important it should never trump what's good for our country. Gaetz and RFK Jr. are most definitely not good for our country.

TODAY IS VETERANS DAY .... TRUMP SHOULD STAY OUT OF SIGHT

By Howie Katz

November 11 is a day our country is supposed to honor those Americans who served in our armed forces, especially those who served during a time of war. 
 
On this day, Donald Trump should stay out of sight,

Trump is a not only a Vietnam war draft dodger, but he has dishonored those who lost their lives or were taken captives while fighting for our country.
 
During the Vietnam war, which lasted from 1957 to 1975, more than 58,000 U.S. military personnel lost their lives and more than 300,000 were wounded in combat. Trump's father made sure his son Donald would not be among them.
 
Trump's multi-millionaire daddy paid some sorry-ass doctor to make up a fake bone spur diagnosis that would give Donald a medical deferment from the draft.
 
That 'bone spur' did not keep Trump from traversing golf courses during a time when golfers still walked from hole to hole instead of riding in a golf cart. 
 
Worse yet, the draft dodger dishonored true war hero Joh McCain for being captured by the North Vietnamese. 

McCain was a fighter pilot during the Vietnam war. In October 1967, he was shot down over Hanoi and captured by the North Vietnamese while seriously wounded. 


This is an undated file photo of Sen. John McCain, lying injured as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam. It was among 4,000 photos and documents given to a U.S. delegation by Hanoi. McCain was a U.S. Navy pilot downed in Vietnam in 1967.

McCain was a prisoner of war until 1973. During that time he was tortured by his captors. The North Vietnamese wanted to release him early for propaganda purposes because both his father and grandfather were U.S. Navy admirals, but McCain refused to be freed out of turn.
 
On July 18, 2015, Trump said this about John McCain: "He’s not a war hero. He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured." 
 
Had McCain been killed when his plane was shot down, Trump still would not have considered him a hero.  

In 2018, according to members of his staff, Trump did not visit the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, near Paris because, "Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers." They also claimed Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood during WWI as "suckers" for getting killed.
 
Those U.S. troops who died, were wounded or taken prisoner while fighting for our country are true heroes ... Trump is a true asshole.

When I cast my ballot for Trump, I did not vote for hm, I voted against Kamala Harris.

I AM SORELY DISAPPOINTED

By Howie Katz

Nikki Haley and Mike Pompeo
 
During Trump's presidency, UN ambassador Nikki Haley and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo were two of the most competent and effective members of his administration.

Both Haley and Pompeo supported Trump in his bid for reelection, but both rightly criticized some of the things he said during the campaign.

It has been announced that neither Haley nor Pompeo will be part of the Trump administration. That is obviously payback for their criticism and it's damn petty of the president-elect.
 
I am sorely disappointed.

GOOD NEWS, REALLY VERY GOOD NEWS: I WAS WRONG! I WAS WRONG! I WAS WRONG!!

By Howie Katz

 

Trump strode on to the stage at around 2.30am (ET), stern-faced and somber, the weight of history upon him.

On October 8, 2024, I predicted that on January 20, 2025, Kamala Harris would be sworn in as our new president.

I am very happy to admit that I was wrong, dead wrong!

As of noon Texas time, Trump had  292 electoral votes. He needed 270 to win. Trump also won the popular vote.

By noon, the Republicans were also sweeping both houses of Congress, 52-43 in the Senate and 201-184 in the House. 

Kamala Harris was unable to word salad her way into the White House. Her 'chicken in every pot' promise did not work. Neither did her screeching on women's reproductive rights. 

What won it for Trump? Let me quote what Jim Carville said in 1992: "It's the economy, stupid."

At his rallies, Trump asked, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?"  To America's workers the obvious answer was "no". The economy was by far the top issue, followed by illegal immigration and abortion.

 

 

Kamala Harris was unable to word salad her way into the White House. 

 

Barack Obama's campaigning for Harris did not help her and now he won't be serving his fourth term as president.

One of Trump's first acts as president should be to throw the Obama-holdovers out of the government, especially those in the State Department.

Trump's victory is not just good for America, but it is also good for Israel. Although he and Netanyahu have grown apart, Trump will never threaten Israel with an arms embargo like the Biden-Harris administration has done.

I'm a happy camper now and I'm very glad that I was wrong in predicting a Harris wi

TED CRUZ APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN REELECTED TO THE US SENATE

By Howie Katz

 

 


With 87.4 percent of the Texas vote counted, Senator Ted Cruz had an insurmountable lead of one million votes over his Democratic challenger Congressman Colin Allred.

Allred received millions of out-of-state dollars for his campaign, but that did not lead to the victory the Democrats hoped for.

Cruz's reelection is not only good for Texas and the United States, but it is also good for Israel. Cruz has been a longtime good friend and strong supporter of the Jewish state.

At this writing, Trump appears to be headed for a win. Even though Trump is a lunatic, I hope he will end up defeating dumbass Harris. It's far better for the country to have a lunatic than a dumbass in the White House.

IT SEEMS THAT TRUMP IS TRYING TO UNSEAT KAMALA HARRIS AS THE DUMBEST CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT EVER

By Howie Katz 

 

Donald Trump went on a profanity-laden attack against some of his rivals as he spoke with Tucker Carlson just days before the election
Donald Trump was interviewed by Tucker Carlson in Glendale, Arizona Thursday evening

 

On October 29 I said that Kamala Harris has got to be the dumbest candidate ever for president, but I may have spoken too soon. It seems that Trump is trying to unseat her.

Trump sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson in Glendale, Arizona on Thursday evening. and here is what Trump said abut Liz Cheney, the former Republican congresswoman who has been campaigning for Kamala Harris.

"Let's put her with the rifle standing there with nine barrels shooting at her. OK, let's see how she feels about it. You know, when the guns are trained on her face."

It's almost impossible to conceive of how any sane candidate would ever say something like that abut an election opponent, but Trump said it about Cheney.

Trump is either not of sound mind or he is trying to get Kamala elected.

Harris was quick to say that his Liz Cheney comments should "disqualify" Trump of being president, and she's right.

Arizona's Democratic attorney general has opened an investigation into whether Trump's insane remark constitutes a death threat.

If Trump is not the dumbest candidate ever for president, he certainly is the craziest. 

On Tuesday, Americans will elect either a dumbass or a lunatic, neither one of which is fit to be president of the United States.

God help America!
