Midnight Special : Staying Trivial

Well it took Les two weeks to get it. They were all artists who appeared on the Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome mix tapes Volume 1 and 2. Or it might be the Cleveland Guardians. I don’t recall. Anyway I got your Four Guitars around here somewhere.

So on to tonight’s trivia. Let us double our pleasure and double or fun with double the music of the 5 artists central to the answer.

Enjoy.

Guessed Host

Diamond Jim asked me to stand in for the Wednesday night music trivia contest, known as Midnight Special, while he was on vacation. It seems he’s back from vacation. I’m going to forge ahead with my trivia question, though, because I worked so hard on it.

Equally impressive, I did it without the help of Raquel. As a special treat, I am offering it far earlier than midnight — unless you live in, like, Guadalcanal. But I may have that backwards. I think it’s midnight in Paris. (Moneybags would know.)

If you do live in Guadalcanal, how’s it going there?

If you don’t, answer this question before Les gets to it:

[Reads from trivia card]:

“The ‘Beatles.’ The Beatles were a legendary rock group, but does anyone remember the names of the four artists who belonged to that band?”

No, it’s not a trick question. I suspect that four out of four college kids today would muff the answer.

So sad.

And they wouldn’t know what Guadalcanal signified two decades earlier, either.

This Is So Untrue!

Facebook has flagged it, Twitter has banned it, YouTube refuses to display it, and Google will not list it among search returns.

“But what was it?” you ask.

You’ll never know. The courts have put a gag order on those who heard of it, and all written records of it have been redacted. The electronic media where it once resided have all mysteriously been lost, damaged, or accidentally wiped clean.

Tuesday Night Open Thread: I Wish I Were As Sarcastic as California Is To Its Female Prisoners

And it’s not from the Babylon Bee, either:

California Gives Female Inmates Condoms, Plan B After State Forces Them To Stay With Transgenders
Daily Wire | 7/22/21 | Ben Zeusloft

The state of California is reportedly offering contraceptives — including Plan B — to female inmates forced to stay with men identifying as “transgender.”

Caged He/it!

So let’s say your grandma gets incarcerated in California for — oh, I don’t know — taking part in the march on the Capitol on January 6th, and is awaiting trial for over five months. The guy from “Machete” is now bunking with her and joining her in the shower. She’ll get a condom and a morning-after pill.

California.

The Media Just Failed To Follow up on This for Some Obscure Reason

Video: Susan Rice Admits That Joe Biden’s Quid Pro Quo With Ukraine Was At The Request Of Obama
Red State Nation | 5/20/2020 | Sarah Hall

Last year Joe Biden bragged about how he coerced Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor Victor Shokin by threatening that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees from them.

While this type of interference in a foreign government by the then-Vice President of the United States is highly inappropriate in itself, what makes it even worse is that the prosecutor he got fired was probing a firm for which his son Hunter Biden worked. Yesterday an audiotape has been released by a Ukrainian politician which details conversations between corrupt and discredited former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and U.S. presidential candidate Joe Biden. John Kerry is also on the audio tape.

The men discuss the firing of then Prosecutor Shokin for corrupt reasons, in order to prevent an investigation into Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, and other criminal actions.

Biden puts pressure on Poroshenko to fire Shokin. Poroshenko said that he blocked the resignation of Yatsenyuk on February 16, 2016 at the personal direction of Biden. On both points, according to Derkach, there is an obvious corpus delicti under the article “treason” (in fact, Poroshenko complied with the instructions of the leadership of a foreign state).

Audio below:

Here is the section where Joe Biden starts talking. Biden mentions Donald Trump.

From the audio, Joe Biden tells Poroshenko: We will help you get the vote.

Another updated version of the call:

Unavailable? Here is my shocked face.

And it seems that President Obama is involved in this case too.

During an interview with CBS News in October 2019 former Obama National Security Advisor Susan Rice says the orders came from the top, by Barack Obama.

Susan Rice tells CBS Joe Biden’s quid pro quo with Ukraine was per the request of Obama.

Susan Rice: “Joe Biden was doing what he was asked to do by the President of the United States.”

Biden LITERALLY says the opposite on TAPE.

He states that the President of Ukraine asks him “doesn’t Obama have to authorize this?”

Biden says no.

Rice is a serial liar.
