What a fun week.  So much fun it’s hard to know where to begin?  Should we start with Boris?

That would be London’s clown mayor, Boris Johnson, who blasted Mitt Romney for saying to the British press all the threatened union strikes (UK Border Police, security guards, London cabbies, etc.) during the Olympics were "disconcerting."

That was last week (7/26).  This week (8/01), Boris became an Olympic joke with his Zip Line Fail.  Everyone in the UK is laughing at "The Dangling Mayor" now, not our next president.

************   

The fun will continue, but first this truly important announcement.  Thanks to TTP’s Miko de Great, the dates and venue for the TTP Victory Rendezvous have been set:  Friday November 9–Sunday November 11, Key Bridge Marriott, Washington DC

We’ll have details and costs soon, but make your plans to be with your fellow TTPers to celebrate the weekend after Zero and the Dems go down in flames on Nov. 6th

************

Back to joke politicians.  Boris is a buffoon, always has been.  Harry Reid has always been a twerp, but this week he became a symptom of Dem derangement.  Harry’s losing it, as in going wacko, suffering a nervous breakdown, something haywire in his brain circuitry – watch for this syndrome to afflict increasing numbers of Dems and their media whores the closer we get Dem Doomsday (11/06).

On Monday (7/30) in an interview with HuffPo, Reid came unglued with his criticism of Nuclear Regulatory Commission Commissioner William Magwood – calling him a "first class rat," "a treacherous miserable liar," and a s**t-stirrer."

That the Senate Majority Leader would make a vicious personal attack with gutter language is sign enough of mental instability.  Add to this that Magwood is a fellow Democrat – and, oh, yes, he’s black.  Can you imagine if a Republican, say Boehner, had labeled a black bureaucrat with such a vulgarism?  Then again, only Republicans can be racist.  Democrats are automatically exempt from the charge.

The very next day (7/31), Lost Harry went completely around the bend, accusing (again in a HuffPo interview) Mitt Romney of not paying income taxes for the last 10 years because some guy called him up and told him so.

Romney promptly told Reid to "put up or shut up"  Also telling Reid to "shut up" was leftie comic Jon Stewart, who devoted an entire segment of his Daily Show on Wednesday (8/01) entitled "You, Harry Reid, Are Really, Really Terrible" (watch the video, it’s really funny).

When you have both Mitt Romney and Jon Stewart making fun of you and telling you to shut up, it might be a good idea to zip it.  Nope, not Harry, he doubled down.  After Stewart gutted him on national television, he went on the floor of the US Senate and said, "The word is out that (Romney) hasn’t paid taxes for ten years."

Well, of course, the word is also out that Harry Reid is a necrophiliac.  Somebody told me so.  Rush Limbaugh says a source who went to Harvard with Zero told him that Zero "got the worst grades in the history of Harvard."  "The allegation is now out there," Rush announced, "it’s up to Obama to disprove it."

On Hannity last night (8/02), Ann Coulter said she has "an unnamed source who says Obama was born in Kenya."  She, like Rush, was making fun of Lost Harry – but she was all seriousness in her column this week (8/01) about Zero’s Signature Move – getting private records of an opponent unsealed to destroy him.

Reid is going bananas desperate as he’s on an assignment from Zero to do whatever it takes to pry open Romney’s tax returns, hoping to find something they can distort and lie about.   It’s the Chicago Way.  Zero refuses to release any records of his at all, from his actual birth certificate to his college transcripts – while the Whore Media secures a copy of Romney’s 9th grade report card.

Harry Reid has not only lost his mind – he has lost his soul.  As Eric Golub of the Washington Times eloquently explains, both Reid and Zero have broken liberal souls.

************

Meanwhile, the Whore Media continued to sell their souls for Zero.  Matching Lost Harry Reid in pathetic desperation to disparage Romney was Newsweak’s current cover story (7/29 issue) calling him a wimp (The Wimp Factor).  Right.  We have President Pussy-Whipped, who lets

Michelle Obama and Valerie Jarrett boss around with a ring through his nose and are the real powers in the White House – and Romney’s the wimp.

Thus the John Locke Foundation suggests this should be Newsweak’s next cover:

************ 

All week long, the media disgraced themselves with obnoxiously biased coverage on Romney’s Europe trip – which, as Charles Krauthammer points out, was a triumph.

Romney gives a magnificent speech in Jerusalem, and all the New York Times cares about is that it offended the Palestinians.  Why should any decent human being give a rat’s derriere if being pro-Israel offends pro-terrorist Palestinians?

Most disgusting of all, however, was a bunch of media goons shouting and yelling their idiotic questions at Romney – "What about your gaffes?" "Do you have a statement for the Palestinians?" – at the Polish Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Warsaw. 

Which brings us to the HFR Hero of the Week:  Romney aide Rick Gorka.  After admonishing the obnoxious propagandists posing as journalists to "Show some respect" for a place that is holy to the Polish people and they refused, Gorka told them to "Kiss my ass – show some respect."

Here’s the video, although Gorka’s now-immortal three words are bleeped:

 

This is the moment all of us have wanted to see, a Republican telling the media to "kiss my ass" – for this is exactly and precisely the message the media needs to hear, one of contempt and disgust.  I would suggest, in fact, that Romney defend his aide with this statement:

"I am quite happy to defend Mr. Gorka’s words.  While they were more colorful than those I would choose, they nonetheless express my sentiments towards those his words were directed to who are posing as journalists covering this campaign.  I want to make it plain that I do not consider themselves journalists respectful of their profession and of their own integrity.  I consider themselves smear merchants and propagandists for the Democrat Party.  I will treat them accordingly."
 

************

Inspired by our Hero of the Week, and infuriated by Zero’s infamous insult to all entrepreneurs – "You didn’t build that" – Ray Gaster, owner of Gaster Lumber & Hardware in Savannah GA, put up a big sign in front of his business this week that declared:  Obama Can Kiss My Ass.

Good for Ray and good for Rick.  This is what all of us should say to Zero and his media prostitutes.  Then again, that’s just what a large majority of voters will say to them on November 6th.

************

Time for a round of cheering applause and congratulations to Ted Cruz for winning the Texas GOP primary for US Senator on Tuesday (7/31).  Ted won going away, which surprised a lot of folks – but not any of us who heard him speak at the Washington Rendezvous last October.  He just blew everybody away. 

Ted Cruz is going to be far more than another Pub Senator.  He and Rand Paul, Jim DeMint, Marco Rubio, along with others are going to lead a Tea Party takeover of the Senate leadership, turning the current establishment elite led by Mitch McConnell into back benchers.  Jim DeMint may very well be the next Senate Majority Leader.

************

It was Sarah Palin’s endorsement of Ted that clinched his victory.  Today (8/03), Sarah’s in Missouri endorsing Sarah Steelman.  You may recall the name.  TTP endorsed her back in August 2009 in the 2010 Senate Sitrep:

"Vying in the Pub primary will be long time Congressman and party elite hack Roy Blunt and former state treasurer Sarah Steelman.  Sarah is a whip-smart, charismatic, articulate, drop-dead gorgeous Ayn Rand pro-American conservative. Wow."

Sarah lost that primary to Blunt who’s now in the Senate.  She’s in the race again, and let’s hope Mama Grizzly will get her across the finish line this time.  You can help by going to sarahsteelman.com.

Of course, the most thrilling news of the week was the overwhelming outpouring of support across the whole country for Chick-fil-A.  Meanwhile, the brain-dead Dems are insistent on inserting a plank in the Dem Platform advocating homosexual "marriage."  That’ll be a real vote-getter.  As Newsbusters notes, all the network newsies are ignoring this and the denouncing of it by groups of black pastors.

Now, I’m sure you’ve been enjoying your Chick-fil-A spicy chicken sandwiches if there’s an outlet anywhere near you – so it’s time for dessert.  What could be better than the best cake you’ve ever had from the Masterpiece Cake Shop?

Actually, it’s really important for you to be their customer, either in person if you live in the Denver area (Masterpiece is in Lakewood) or know someone who does to whom you can send a cake as a gift.  The owner, Jack Phillips, is being attacked for refusing to bake a wedding cake for two homosexuals.  Once more, the left and the homosexual agenda is on the side of anti-freedom fascism.  Give what business you can to Jack Phillips!

************ 

Did SloJo Biden just endorse Mitt Romney?  He actually said in a speech on Monday (7/30) that a Romney Presidency will be disastrous for trial lawyers.  Knowing that alone could put Romney over the top among voters in a dozen swing states.  Yes, SloJo said this a warning to a convention of trial lawyers, but Romney should nevertheless send him a thank-you note in any regard.

************

And how about George Soros taking it in the shorts this week?  Here’s the headline (7/31):  Soros Election-Rigging Scheme Collapses.  He thought he could buy a score of Secretary of State offices that oversee elections in their state.  He failed.  Very cool.

************

Also very cool is a federal court in Colorado ruling that a business can ignore the Obamacare requirement to provide contraception coverage in health care insurance if it conflicts with the owners’ religious faith.

************

Finally, believe it or not, even House Speaker John Boehner was cool this week.  As the unemployment figures continue to stay above 8% (the "official" rate, the real one is at least twice that counting those who have given up) for the 41st consecutive month, the entire dismal length of the Zero Presidency, Boehner succinctly explained why:

"The president has never created a job. He’s never even had a real job, for God’s sake. And I can tell you from my dealings with him, he has no idea how the real world, that we actually live in, works."
