WHEN A.O.C. RUNS THE EPA….

WHEN A.O.C. RUNS THE EPA….-- Satire Hugh Betcha, Ace Reporter for the Mighty Canada Free Press and winner of the 2020 Environmental Reporter of the Year Award by Greenpeace, interviewed AOC, who will head the EPA after President [God Help Us] Biden takes office in 2021. AOC shared her proposed radical regulations to take effect on the day of the election.  In an effort to curb methane emissions from livestock who shamelessly pollute the air with their gaseous exhaust, endanger the ozone layer, melt the polar icecaps and raise the average ambient temperature of the planet by one one-thousandth of a degree per decade, AOC has proposed that the federal government  impose a per head gas tax on cattle and other livestock.  Until the E.P.A. implements such a rule, livestock remain free to pass gas without fear of federal intervention

Pelosi and Schiff to Impeach Dead Presidents

Pelosi and Schiff to Impeach Dead Presidents-- Satire When the Speaker of the House wants to announce something momentous, her first call goes to Hugh Betcha, Ace Reporter of the Mighty Canada Free Press. Hugh, winner of the coveted Rachael Maddow “Conservative Reporter I Hate Most 2020 Award” and a man respected by both sides of the aisle in Foggy Bottom, was only too happy to oblige. Within two hours of her call, the reporter flew his private jet from Wynstone, South Dakota to Washington D.C. and was pressed into service by the Speaker who was removing paintings from the halls of Congress. “Here, grab this,” Pelosi told him as she handed down a portrait of a former Speaker of the House from atop a ladder. Hugh obliged.

Pelosi's Ice Cream Treats to Unemployed Workers and Small Business Owners

Pelosi's Ice Cream Treats to Unemployed Workers and Small Business Owners-- Satire "It came to me during the Late Late Show with James Corden," Pelosi told Ace Reporter Hugh Betcha, "that I must do something for the poor people of the country and the struggling small business owners—we are all in this together." Managing to struggle through this period of self-imposed isolation and dutifully following the President's directive to hunker down and practice social distancing, Pelosi continued speaking to Hugh through the two-way intercom attached to the ten foot wall of her mansion in San Francisco.

Uncle Sugar’s Wagon of Economic Happiness

Sandersclaus and Democratic SocialismHe was a "Democratic Socialist"--whatever that is--who offered the people free stuff--free education, free medical care, free welfare benefits to all who crossed over the border, reparations for anyone who was a victim of anything,  and many other free things. His promises flowed like honey and his cult like following--Sandersnistas--were captivated by his words.  "The State," he said, "will take care of you." His message was alluring and they wanted to believe. His name was Sanders, but some called him simply, Sandersclaus.  Others, called him affectionately, Uncle Sugar

Unborn Baby Eagles

Unborn Baby Eagles, Abortion“Don't fail to rescue those who are doomed to die. Don't say, "I didn't know it!"  God can read your mind. He watches each of us and knows our thoughts. And God will pay us back for what we do.” (Proverbs 24:11-12--Contemporary English Version) Since 1973 when two women, prompted (some might say, used) by their activist radical women’s rights attorneys, challenged laws prohibiting abortions and won1, nearly 50 million unborn and nearly born babies have been killed. That is nearly 16% of the current population of the United States. Fifty million babies who had no choice were sacrificed on the Altar of Choice—proving that when activist attorneys with no moral grounding argue cases before activist judges with no moral grounding, bad things happen.

A Clear, Cold Night

A Clear, Cold NightChristmas was, for me, a clear, cold night. I grew up in a small Midwestern town during the 50s and 60s. There was never a better place or time to grow up. Of that I was certain. And my perfect childhood was never more perfect than at Christmas. I had a Peter Billingsley, Christmas Story Christmas every year. I was that chubby little kid with the horn rimmed glasses and nerdy clothes with the three buckle snow boots who wished for and got the Red Ryder BB gun on his ninth Christmas.

The Hard Left Turn

The candidate was a man of great courage. A decorated war hero, he was nearly killed in combat. He risked life and limb to save his comrades and never left their side. He was a true patriot in every sense of the word. After his military service, he devoted his life to public service.

Hillary to Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky and Pennsylvania Coal Miners: "McDonald's is Hiring!"

When Hillary Clinton spoke at an Ohio town hall meeting during her primary campaign earlier this year, her flippant remark that she would "put a lot of coal miners outta work," if she is elected President, was as welcome to coal miners as a skunk at a picnic. In an effort to un-ding the bell and reverse the political damage caused by her remarks (undoubtedly one of the reasons that 30,000 Democrats in Pennsylvania switched to the GOP in recent months) she quickly reversed herself with an equally clumsy statement that she "misspoke"[sic] when she said she would put a lot of miners out of work.

ATTORNEY GENERAL LORETTA LYNCH TO ORGANIZE LOVE TRAIN TO SYRIA

In the wake of the tragic terror attack in Orlando which killed 49 Americans and injured scores more, Loretta Lynch--point person for the Obama Administration--decided to get serious about ISIS. It was time to go on offense. And, as is usually the case, whenever the President or his advisers need to break such a story to the press, they call on Ace Reporter Hugh Betcha, Head of the Middle East Bureau of the Stoos Media Conglomerate.

2017--President Hillary's New Best Friend, Vladimir Putin

It was January 21, 2017, and an exhausted President Hillary Clinton was basking in the afterglow of her swearing in the day before. Narrowly defeating Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election, she settled into her chair in the Oval Office on her first full day at the helm. She surveyed the room and dreamed of how she planned to serve out the third and maybe fourth terms of Barack Obama--just as she had promised to do during the campaign.

The Christmas Candle

Ebeneezer Biden: Better at Giving Away Your Money Than His

--Satire Recently, Ace Reporter Hugh Betcha--named Univision's "Most Trusted Conservative Reporter, 2015," and MSNBC's "Reporter We Would Most Like to Hang Out With, 2015" overheard a discussion in the ObamaMedia about Republican politicians' charitable giving habits. Since liberal politicians are so caring for the poor, since Hillary is taking a nose dive in the polls, and kindly Uncle Joe Biden is about to enter the race for President, Hugh decided to explore the would-be Democrat standard bearer's history of charitable giving. Certainly his private giving must match his avowed love of and desire to help the poor.
