The Brew: Where We Catch You Up on Everything But Will Smith and Chris Rock

By Al Perrotta Published on April 4, 2022

Happy Monday!

Whataya say we start the week with some wise, concise words of wisdom? Something to get us zeroed in on the day. 

A Dose of Wisdom

The other day, while meeting with Jamaica’s prime minister, Kamala Harris offered this dazzling “word salad” as healthy for our intellect as a lettuce salad is for our bodies.

We also recognize just as it has been in the United States, for Jamaica, one of the issues that has been presented as an issue that is economic in the way of its impact has been the pandemic. So to that end, we are announcing today also that we will assist Jamaica in COVID recovery by assisting in terms of the recovery efforts in Jamaica that have been essential to, I believe, what is necessary to strengthen not only the issue of public health but also the economy.

I was going to say, “Ma’am, put down the ganja,” but we’ll leave it at: “Never has anyone worked so hard to sound so important while saying so little.”

But that still beats, “Never has anyone worked so little to do so much damage while making so little sense.”

Biden Dumps Title 42, Promotes His Wife to Former Vice President

Joe Biden (via the political CDC) announced he’s dropping Title 42, a regulation ordered by Donald Trump during the COVID crisis that helped keep illegal immigrants who may be carrying the virus from entering the country. Democratic Senator Joe Manchin calls the dropping of Title 42 a “frightening decision.”

Even the regime admits eliminating Title 42 will lead to an increased rush of illegal immigrants across the already overwhelmed border. But of course, since the illegals are not crossing the border with Ukraine, the White House cares not the slightest. Hey, maybe if Border Agents passed the hat and dropped a few million into Hunter Biden’s accounts, Biden would protect our border too.

(On the plus side, if the CDC is saying Title 42 is not needed anymore, they’re admitting the COVID pandemic is over.)

Meanwhile, Biden’s inability to remember who is who and who did what has struck again. This time, he referred to his wife Jill as the former vice president. Happened during Saturday’s commissioning of the USS Delaware:

“I’m deeply proud of the work [Jill is] doing as first lady with Joining Forces initiative she started with Michelle Obama when she was vice president.”

1st Law of Snake News Proven Right Again: There’s No Mystery Gap in Trump J6 White House Phone Logs

What is the First Law of Snake News? “Any news story about Donald Trump that has the media hyperventilating will be proven false … usually within 24 hours.”

Like Newton’s Laws of Motion, the First Law of Snake News is repeatedly proven right. Even now that Trump is out of office. The latest? Pelosi’s J6 Committee claimed there was a 70-minute gap in Trump’s White House phone logs for January 6. The media went nuts. “This is Watergate! This is five-times worse than Watergate since that missing gap on the tape was only 18 minutes! This is worse than 9/11!”

Except CNN, of all people, reported that there is no gap that day in the official phone logs of the White House. Sure, they still made like there were secret calls Trump took and made that day. They’re still carrying water for the Democrats after all. But at least they’re using a leaky bucket.

She’s In. Sarah Palin Running for Congress

For about seven years in the 1960s, Elvis Presley did little more than put out a bunch of increasingly frivolous movies and music, pretty much pulverizing his status as the King of Rock-n-Roll. By 1968, the revolutionary music figure … the charismatic force of nature who shattered the status quo and scared the heck out of the establishment … had become almost a joke.

Then Elvis decided play time was over. He would reclaim his throne. He showed up for his 1968 “Comeback” special rested, tan and out for blood.

Mick Jagger who?

For almost a decade now, Sarah Palin has been seen not as a serious political force, but more as a punch line, tabloid-fodder. At least in the public perception. Gone was the charismatic force of nature who shattered the status quo, scared the heck out of the establishment, and ignited a populist revolution. She’s been more the Tina Fey caricature than the real Palin.

But playtime is over. Sarah Palin may not be donning black leather … well, at least until her next biker rally. But she’s rested, tan and out for blood. Sarah Palin announced Friday she will indeed run for Congress in Alaska’s special election to replace the late Don Young.

“America is at a tipping point,” said Palin “As I’ve watched the far left destroy the country, I knew I had to step up and join the fight.”

Fox News is reporting Palin decided to jump into the race after being encouraged by former President Trump. She joins about 50 other candidates. Voting begins for the all mail-in primary later this month, with results announced June 26. The top four candidates square off in an August 16 run-off.

The Barracuda on Capitol Hill. She’ll feast on the Squad and the RINOs like Elvis on a peanut butter, banana and bacon sandwich.  

Some Class Out of Hollywood? Razzies Rescind Nominations for Bruce Willis

The Razzie Awards, the annual Oscar spoof that recognizes the worst in cinema, has done something honorable. The night before the Oscars, the Razzies had a special category for Willis called “Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie,” mocking the eight bad straight-to-streaming movies he appeared in. He “won” for a movie called Cosmic Sin.

However, upon news the veteran actor is suffering from the brain disorder aphasia, the Razzies are rescinding the award.

Co-founders John Wilson and Mo Murphy announced “If someone’s medical condition is a factor in their decision-making and/or their performance, we acknowledge that it is not appropriate to give them a Razzie.”

Kudos to the Razzies for showing some decency. A rare thing out there.

So…do I get a cookie for not mentioning Will Smith or Chris Rock even once in today’s Brew? No? Not even a breakfast biscuit?
