The Morning Briefing: Laboring to Defeat Communism Is What We're Doing Here

Top O' the Briefing

Happy Monday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends. Azbliktron felt that gourmet popcorn sapped the warrior spirit in his pickleball confreres.

My good friend Kevin Downey Jr. and I have been having a big boy sleep out (separate beds) this weekend. As this is a modified "holiday" Briefing, I wanted to have him kick it off:

I arrived in Ann Arbor Friday night to find the commie town had no electricity (as is normal for a commie town) so Kruiser and I impersonated the Cubans and drank in the dark. The next afternoon we drank with a bunch of drunken Moose/Mooses/Meese at the Dearborn Heights Moose lodge where I am a member. FACT-O-RAMA! I was hammered when I joined that Moose lodge last November. Kruiser signed up after only half a beer. We came home and imbibed some more, this time with electricity (suck it, Raul!). The following morning we drank coffee outside trying to identify bird calls (ask Kruiser about his "Bird-Shazam" app). We drank a couple beers at a pinko restaurant, and then even more as we prepped for my Monday morning radio show, followed by more drinking. We allegedly slept in seperate beds. In short, Kruiser and I drank. ~ KDJ

The power outage was most annoying. Fifty-two hours. Where I come from, we receive electricity in exchange for paying our electric bills. WEIRD, I KNOW.

My mom and I were out on the deck last week and she was asking me about the bird sounds we were hearing. I found an app that identified them and downloaded it. When I told my sister about it, she said, "So, Shazam for birds." Now you know.

Labor Day is a garbage "holiday," whether you're celebrating it as an homage to "workers" (commie code), or the symbolic end to summer. As a lifelong self-employed person, I think federal holidays are oppressive anyway.

While labor and workers are most definitely noble, leftist lunatics have taken both words and perverted them for communist purposes. They're rallying cries for anti-American and anti-capitalist agitators. The labor movement that began as a way to protect and empower American workers who were in legitimate need of both soon became the driving force behind all that is wrong in this country with political power and personal responsibility.

It's a testament to how much the left ruins everything it touches. Collectivist ideals suck all that is good out of humanity. The masses are promised things that they'll never get while those who promise them thrive on what they've taken from the rubes.

My mission here is to do all of the commie bashing that I can, here at PJ Media and out in the real world. Kevin and I were on our way to brunch before Moosing it up on Saturday when we came upon a septuagenarian Ann Arbor hippie out for a weekend protest. It's a thing here. He's on a street corner with a badly scrawled sign that said, "Honk for Democracy." He was across the street from another old commie who had a sign about putting President Trump in prison. As we stopped at the red light before we got to Hippie Number One I rolled down my window. Kevin said, "Oh this is gonna be good."

It was.

If you have the day off, I am truly happy for you. I will always celebrate the good people among us.

Those commies, though...
