In 1961, the Shirelles recorded a song titled, “Mama Said.” It was part of their Sing to the Trumpets and Strings album. [The best music in the history of America was recorded in the 1960s when I was in high school. Truth.]
The Shirelles could sing, but they could really move.
You will undoubtedly remember the chorus that went like this:
Mama said there’ll be days like this
There’ll be days like this, my mama said
(Mama said, mama said)
Mama said there’ll be days like this
There’ll be days like this, my mama said
Every time in my life when I’ve had a hard day or stumbled onto something weird, odd, or troubling, I have said to myself, “Mama said there’ll be days like this . . . ” It was elegantly simple and informative.
It — that one line from the song — is my personal safe harbor from really weird things. Recently, several happenstances have occurred that have me saying this. A handful of them are so odd, I feel compelled to share them with you:
1. Hillary Clinton is considering running for the Dem nomination to be the 2024 nominee? WTF?
Hillary recently read to the nation her “acceptance speech” for her 2016 electoral victory, but there was one problem — she didn’t win. This was high theater.
When I first heard this I remember laughing. Not a full throated belly laugh one deploys when confronted by the truly funny, but one of those tiny, mean little laughs that say, “No way in a million years.”
I figured anybody as unlikeable as Hillary, who had the scars of being beaten on her old, tired body, and who had perpetrated a monumental fraud on the country with the Dossier would never have the chutzpah to show her wrinkled, weathered face anywhere near the election.
Then I thought she’d be running against Joe Biden and it was, after all, Hillary Clinton.
In that frame of mind, I hear Bill Clinton say, “She’s the most prepared candidate in the Dem party.”
This clown Dem consultant Doug Schoen says she’s full of energy and capable. The woman almost dropped dead the last time around. Get over it, Hill.
Mama said there’ll be days like this!
2. Joe Biden pretends to be trying to vanquish the China Virus — mind you, the old boy has a plan — whilst the southern border is open to 2,000,000 untested, unvaxed illegal aliens who are admitted into the country with an acknowledged rate of positivity of more than 25% before being decamped all over the country at taxpayer expense. This is an enormous super spreader event. Is this guy for real?
How can Joe Biden possibly be serious about stopping the spread of the China Virus (in its many variants) when we have a flood of untested, infected illegals pouring across the border?
I figure that for every illegal apprehended, there are an equal number who made it untouched. We’re talking 4,000,000 illegals in the last twelve months — the highest rate of illegal entry in the history of the United States.
Did I mention none of these folks are being tested for the China Virus before they’re being transported across the country? This is happening on purpose, but Joe Biden has a plan to defeat the China Virus?
Does Dr. Fauci know about this?
Mama said there’ll be days like this!
Bottom line it, Big Red Car
Mama said there’ll be days like this!
