Once again, here’s an abridged video edition of Frank Thoughts.
McCarthy in Trouble
Representative Michael Gaetz didn’t like Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy siding with the Democrats, so Gaetz sided with every single Democrat and voted McCarthy out of Speakership.
Who is Speaker of the House now? No one knows. Could be anyone. Could be you. Could be me. But right now, there is no Speaker, thus no one can speak for the House. If they want to order pizza, no one has the authority now to make that call and tell the pizza guy on behalf of the House what toppings they want.
Trump Fraud Trial
Trump attended his fraud trial in New York, but he got some great news — it’s just a civil trial! He was all like, “Oh, I have like a bunch of felony trials going on right now; this is nothing. Why am I even wasting my time here?”
Fire Alarm
Democrat Representative Jamaal Bowman pulled a fire alarm during a crucial vote about the government shutdown. He says he was confused and thought the fire alarm opened the door, and look at these things — they are confusing:
It says on it in big letters “FIRE ALARM,” which, for all you could know, could be the brand name for the door opener company.
“Fire Alarm door openers: We open doors blazing fast!” That’s a thing that could exist.
Biden Hunting Conservatives
I saw this on Twitter (now called “X,” except no one calls it X):
Is this true? Are all the conservative commentators going to get hunted down and murdered? It could happen to me! I’ve sometimes said stuff about Biden, and not all of it was very nice. Like, I commented on him being too old. I criticized his economic policies. And I called him a fart-knocker. I could be murdered!
Well, if after the 2024 election, Biden is reelected and soon after you find out I’m murdered, don’t believe the police when they say, “We know who definitely didn’t do this: President Joe Biden.” They’re covering for him!
Unemployment for Striking
In California, they tried to pass a bill that people could get paid unemployment when striking. So, instead of getting paid after losing their job, they have a job but just decided not to do it, but also want to get paid. I think the left are confused; they act like they want union rights and better jobs or something, but I think in the end, what they really want is someone to pay them money without them having to do any work. I understand this; I wish people would pay me for this Substack without me doing any posts. But lots of other people are like, “I want Frank to do lots of posts but not have to pay him.” Economics is complicated.
Biden’s Dog Attacking People
They had to remove Biden’s dog from the White House because it kept attacking the staff. I guess Biden training his dog to hunt down conservatives isn’t going well.
Jules Verne
I find it funny that Jules Verne wrote science fiction, but it’s about stuff that’s now our past, like an electric submarine and a trip to the moon. It makes me wonder if there was a caveman who wrote science fiction about like chairs.
What Happened with Hellbender 2?
Hey, the Hellbender 2 audiobook came out a while ago, but it only has eight ratings. I know I sold way more than that. Maybe a lot of you bought it and didn’t listen to it; I guess that’s okay, as I get paid the same whether you listen to it or not. Still, if you did listen to it, please review it or at least rate it… unless you didn’t like it. That’s your problem, and you need to keep it to yourself.
Reviewing an author’s work is the best way to support him… after giving him money.
