Deep breath. The air all fresh and new. That, my friends is the sound made knowing the holidays are over and a bran’ spankin’ new year has begun. I know that because the local Fry’s already has the Valentine’s Day aisle fully stocked and ready to go. So let’s kick off the first “Thursday Thoughts” of the year in style. In other thoughts:

You see, it’s spouting stuff like this that makes Hollywood and entertainers look nothing more than Trump hating caricatures:

“If you read the history, you won’t be surprised. It’s exactly the same,” Ronstadt replied. “Find a common enemy for everybody to hate. I was sure that Trump was going to get elected the day he announced, and I said it’s gonna be like Hitler, and the Mexicans are the new Jews. And sure enough that’s what he delivered.”

I mean, how dumb can one person be? How ignorant about history can one be? Clue to Linda: loved your music but don’t you have to be some kind of an ignoramus to know your analogy doesn’t hold up? If Trump is Hitler (a favorite and all-too-easy meme of the loony left, just like any Republican other than John McCain, BTW), and Mexicans are the “new Jews”, then answer me this, Linda: why are so many of them trying to come here by any means necessary? I don’t seem to remember Jews all over the world flocking to be part of Hitler’s Germany. Wasn’t the direction was all the other way (in more ways than one)? So just shut yer yap and stick to what you know best – singing.

Here’s hoping this is the year that President Trump pardons Michael Flynn and Roger Stone.

I’m sorry, but as a Roman Catholic watching this it’s hard not to view Pope Francis as a vile, disgusting, pompous, and ungodly man. This is how he treats members of his own flock? Just one question, PF, were these comments before or after slapping that poor woman’s hand? I guess one can add hypocrite to the above list as well.

One of the more outrageous and disgraceful aspects of the Trump presidency is the mainstream media’s treatment of First Lady Melania Trump. She has more class, modesty, and dignity than “Moochelle” Obama, who the media fawned over relentlessly throughout the Obama era. Don’t believe me? Just watch how she watches her husband answer the media’s questions prior to the New Year’s Eve party at Mar-a-Lago with such grace and style.

Sad to hear of the passing of Neil Innes, whose Monty Python association led to his co-founding (with Eric Idle) the “Prefab Four” The Rutles; “All You Need is Cash” was the first “mockumentary” predating the iconic “This Is Spinal Tap”. Innes could write Beatles-style songs almost as good as the real thing – listen to “Hold My Hand”, “I Must Be In Love”, “Ouch” (a George Harrison favorite, BTW), and “Love Life” and you’ll see what I mean.

My only response to Don Lemon’s comments on CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage, and to all those on the loony left who hate President Trump and accuse those of us who support him of being racists comes courtesy of the late, great, and incredibly-missed Andrew Breitbart.

November is coming. Bring. It. On.
