CAN you not read, or CAN you not learn?

Anti-liberal bullshit rant in three…..two……one…..

Now.

I read an article where Hillary Clinton proposed, once again, the abolishment of the electoral college, after New York and California elected her President (I am kidding).  I didn’t forget that, filed it away because of a specific comment she made in the interview…I could not find it and ceased searching after reading an NPR article that proclaimed that Hillary had maintained a relatively low profile since the election.   I thought I would hurl my already eaten PBJ onto the computer screen.  National Public Radio had chosen to re-define “low profile” to cover the womans’ ass while she was out telling more lies than she did during the election.

But to the point, I did remember that Hillarys’ comment was, to wit, “The electoral college denies a fundamental principle of our democracy, that of one man, one vote.”  It was as if the woman had never…..read….a….book…..in….her….life.

Ever.

Now, if you have ever read anything written by me, you can automatically figure out what part of her comment caught my attention.  And no, it wasn’t the “democracy” versus “republic” portion…..that argument, that difference, the goodness OF a republic over a democracy is lost on all liberals, and disdained when understood.  No, I am referring to her comment that a fundamental of our democracy is one man one vote.  If you know ANYTHING, I mean, ANYTHING about the founders, the arguments for and against all elements of the Constitution as written and signed, you would know that the electoral college was SPECIFICALLY designed to NOT provide for one man, one vote.

And, just in case you have wondered far afield from the founders reasoning, the compromise that resulted in the electoral college had some VERY specific objectives.

1.    Put in place a working government for the new nation, the Articles of Confederation being proven to be an unworkable approach for a new nation of states.

2.   Protect the small states, the less populated states, against the large, more heavily populated states in the Presidential election.

3.   Get the slave owning states to the table, joined to the new nation.

Those are the big ones.  The ONLY problem with the electoral college for the democrats lies in the damned near impossibility for it to be usurped by them.  They absolutely canked an important part of the Constitution and the nation when they successfully passed the 17^th amendment, which actually re-wrote a portion of the constitution after 125 years of it working just fine.  The result there was that the states essentially lost their representation, despite the senate, in the republican system (no surprise that THAT changed happened under Woodrow Wilson, the first true, progressive, globalist President).  The PEOPLE still titularly represented in the house, but in the senate, the will of the states gives way virtually every time to the will of the party. 

And now, one party is dying to do away with the electoral college so that they will no longer need to be bothered with elections.  At every level of election in this nation, the democrats work like Santa’s elves to commit and get away with fraud…..and in 2016 it became evident that they were trying it on the national level……if not for that damned electoral college.

The eft has never embraced the US Constitution, and have been working to relegate it to irrelevance since the ink was still wet on the document.  The founders considered minorities, and by that I mean, those of a minority opinion (since virtually all freemen at the time were whities), as they would “factions”.  The electoral college was designed to cancel out pockets of minorities, or factions, and prevent EXACTLY what Hillary and the left wants;

For California and New York to elect leftists to office.

The electoral college is designed to result in an outcome largely for the common good in striving for liberty, not for the good as seen by Cuomo, Brown and their ilk.

These are not my ideas….they are merely poorly worded and explained ideas of great men and thinkers, the founders and great thinkers since then.  The libraries are (or they were) full of the writings and ideas and philosophies of these men.....apparently ignored of loathed by the left.

And the left cannot tolerate that…..and they will continue the attack.  Every four years we are one more Presidential election away from Presidential elections having no relevance at all…..save for the electoral college.  We can NEVER elect another leftist to the Presidency again, or this Republic of which Hillary is either ignorant or resentful, will cease to exist.

Never.

This guy damn near "stupided" me to death.

If haven’t found it yet, one of Facebooks’ actual redeeming qualities is a feature called “marketplace”.  It is just that, a feature where you can advertise, with pictures, items to sell, or that you are seeking to buy, or even give away.  You post it, someone in your local area sees it, haggles the price, and makes arrangements to pick it up.

So far, so good…..right?

Not so fast Batman.

Sooommeeee people.

We had a turntable, a BSR (Birmingham Sound Reproducers) model 0991.  Now, I had to research the brand name (actually very successful, dominating the turntable market at one time), since I am not an audiophile.

You got that right…..I AM NOT AN AUDIOPHILE.  I like music, A LOT, though I am usually a few years behind the current sound, but to me, except for an eight track tape, the one delivery method is about the same as the next.  I have VERY few LP’s left, and just gave a 200 CD changer and the CD’s to my brother in law since I stream or listen to Sirius/XM.  Maybe years around Army noises made me deaf enough that I just don’t care.  As a result, a turntable is a turntable is a cassette tape.  So, I researched, found out how much these things went for on eBay, and given the condition, and figuring that it was 30 years old if it was made during the last year of production, I listed it for $25 (they appear to go for almost $100 in some cases).

And sure enough….someone responded.  The first question was….”What size is the cartridge?”  I had included a picture so it was clear that there was no cartridge.  Next question;  “So the needle is in the head, on the end of the arm?”  I mentioned I had posted a picture, right?  And where else IS the needle on an turntable?  Next question; “  Does  it work?  What are the outputs?”  I made a video of the turntable turning and took a picture of the lines running from the turntable.

All day.  This exchange took all day.

Then, yesterday, the platter master returned, “I am finding myself more and more interested in this turn table……” followed by a few more questions.”

So……at this point, I had about had enough, and replied “Sorry_________, you outlasted me.  It should have been clear from the start that I am not an audiophile, and that I certainly don’t know one turn table from the next.  And for $25 I am not spending the time to learn.  I am giving it to charity.”

Now…..YOU WOULD THINK that most people would have thought “Well, THAT dude was rude.”  But NO!  Not Wolfman Jack.  He actually responds with a note that starts “In the future, if you have any more turntables to sell (what am I?  Frigging Radio Shack?)…….” Followed by a litany of things to look for in a turn table.  Information that I will NEVER use or need because I do not plan on being in the turntable market on the post Beatles era.  But, it was apparently critical to him that I KNEW that HE KNEW his turntable shit.  It was ESSENTIAL that he had the last word.

So, you know what I did?  I checked his profile and thought “Yep, he looks like a dick”…..so I let him have the last word…….right after I erased the conversation and blocked further IM’s from him.

I don’t get some people….as a matter of fact, I do not get MOST people.   If turntables are your thing (or ANYTHING is your thing), and for $25 dollars (which would have inevitably ended up at $15, because these things normally do.  Add in to that the fact that I am not going to use it….I might have just given the thing away if someone had made the case), wouldn’t you just have made the 20 mile drive to check it out?

My wife and I have given tons of stuff to charity, starting when we as two self sufficient grownups mixed everything through the marriage.  We outfitted one of the three kids with everything he needed to start out on his own, we have given things to friends and friends in need.  We sell very little because my wife breaks out in hives at the idea of a garage sale…..but we know the deal…..someone negotiates asking price down as far as possible, knowing that the owners do not want to take that crap back home….but it is not new crap.  What I don’t expect to have happen is some guy dragging out negotiations for three days over $25……

…..and a lecture…..I don’t expect a lecture.

SO, if you want a turntable, I have one.  And the price is right.

You can have it for free.

YOU....young person.......are a scrotum.

Okay, I know you have all seen this, and it would not be fulfilling of my role as an opinionated bastard were I not to hold forth on this.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/get-there/wp/2018/05/24/parents-who-went-to-court-to-evict-their-unemployed-30-year-old-son-did-the-right-thing/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.4e3a71adef59

There is actually a video that goes along with this…..which also doesn’t show the 30 year old in good stead…..I mean, how COULD it?

I graduated high school when I was 17.  Had my parents ALLOWED me to stay past graduation and a day, I would not have DARED.  My Dad was distant and uncaring, something he carried throughout life, through all of his relationships and associations, right to his grave.  To point of fact, at his memorial service, the only non-family there were people that knew my father from his childhood; it is as if he just quit life a few decades before his death.  My mother was a straight up, vicious, vengeful, spiteful woman, whom I am sure today would have been diagnosed with some sort of psychological disorder requiring VERY close supervision.  Remarkably, my brother and sister and I all turned out acceptable for public interaction but it was not due to her efforts.  Unless my siblings received a familial gift that was kept from me, our parents never encouraged us to do anything productive, and never assisted in what we did pursue.  The end result for me was that I graduated from high school with ZERO, and I mean NADA, NULL, NIL, DONUT promise, potential or future…and the same amount of knowledge in how to pursue a future.  I DID know that I was in no way welcome to remain at “home” (my mother actually locked me out of the house on two occasions for being 15 minutes and five minutes late, respectively, for my 2200 curfew as a HS senior, who worked 40 hours a week, paid for my braces, clothes, school expenses, entertainment (such as it was), gas, insurance, car, and had chores around the house), NOR WOULD I HAVE WANTED TOO.

Even today, my youngest, who has lived in the relative lap of luxury as an only child, in my ex wifes’ nest, can hardly WAIT to get out on his own.  That is because all REAL people, with some dignity, go to school, finish, get a job, move out and get on with life (and apparently, this is a novel concept to some people....like getting a job, getting married and THEN having kids).

And yeah, I get it….the 30 year old in the story…his parents are criticized for tolerating it, for making life to easy for the kid, the chronological adult.  But…..that is bullshit.  This 30 year old (what do you call someone like this?  Kid?  Certainly “man” is not descriptive) is responsible.  He doesn’t behave like this thru lack of choice, but thru EXERCISING choice.  This DNA train wreck is doing this because HE CAN.  The man is devoid of dignity, of maturity.  And what did he say?  That he needed a six month notice to prepare?  Dude….you have had THIRTY DAMNED YEARS…..and not done shit.  YOU LEFT YOUR PARENTS WITH NO OPTIONS other than to take their own kid to court in an effort to force him to have a marginal amount of shame.

And the maneuver failed.  He is getting out….but the turd is going to APPEAL to force his parents to give him six more months of a free ride.  And don’t you find it telling that he has no friends willing to take him in?  No other family?  You know why?

Because he is a piece of shit.  And I have $10 that says that, if he ever voted….he voted democrat.

Kids…you do not BELONG in your parents house.  Hey, I get it…you are in transition, lost a job, are between postings…..a few weeks is a given.  I have three with their caravans….OF COURSE they would be welcome while they work to get back on track, or (as was in my case with my ex wifes family) while transitioning from station to station.  Of course they would be welcome.  But they do not BELONG here…..they BELONG in their own life…..in their own home.

This piece of crap in the story?  He is a disgrace.

I got nothing constructive here.......just like the author

Wow.

There are SOME venues you just do not count on for your news…….Slate.com, Vox.com, CNN, HUFFPO, WAPO, NYT and Yahoo.  Granted Yahoo is not a TRUE competitor…..which makes them all the worse…..a free service that picks and choses the news it publishes and cuts and pastes depending on their narrative…..which is generally pretty crappy.  I did say “free”, right?

Can you read this article and determine what is wrong with it?  In the first few paragraphs the author lets you in on a secret…..well, probably not a secret to his peers, but he lets the rest of us in on it.

Here is the article; take a look.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/president-trumps-pardon-jack-johnson-welcome-unexpected-195442612.html

You saw it right?  Pretty glaring.

Now, I do not know crap about boxing….I saw the Rocky movies….I know that THAT franchise over played its hand and was only saved by Rocky Balboa.  I know I couldn’t take the ass beating it would take to merely lose, let alone make an attempt to win.  But this story is a real “feel good” piece…..as well as a piece that reflects the bias of the author.

And there are two main points here….one of which I picked up on right away.

“There is a particular irony in the fact that it took President Donald Trump, hardly a champion of rights for African-Americans and other racial minorities, to be the one who pardoned former heavyweight champion Jack Johnson”.

Really?  What is your source?  Your reference?  Your evidence?  Because there is PLENTY of evidence that President Trump cares far more about all people than his predecessor, the statist Sun King Obama.  As a matter of fact, very few people can point to Obama, or ANY progressive and say that the person did much for minorities.  This is a piece of unfounded, biased opinion by the “sports author” Kevin Lole.  It is unfounded and serves to do nothing but to show that Lole cannot be counted on to report honestly about shit that most of us don’t know about….let alone care about.

But Lole is not wholly without merit.  He points out that congress, at the time dominated by democrats, passed a resolution saying that Jackson should be pardoned by the President, a democrat and a huge fan of pardoning felons, and he didn’t do it.  Not only that, his attorney general, a proven racist (“my people”), and equally dedicated to ignoring inconvenient laws, used THE lamest of all possible excuses to blow off the pardon possibilities; the allegations that a black man, in the first half last century, treated women poorly. 

What a dilemma….to have to chose between two victim classes that you as an activist promote and encourage, and choosing to leave a mans (“my people”) name on the books as a convicted felon, to avoid offending the other victim class.  Oh the drama.

No less drama than confessing in writing that THAT was what the Obama regime did, while criticizing Trump for doing the right thing.

I once thought I could be a liberal because of the complete lack of a requirement to think, and now I am convinced that I could never be a liberal because of the complete lack of a requirement to think.  Back to my original question….there is a lot wrong with this article….most embodied by the author.

Starbucks need grow some king sized 'nads.....soon.

I think every male faculty member in a US college and university, and every male in the management of places like Ben and Jerry’s and Starbucks, should be lined up and have their nuts cut off, then sent back to work.  LORD KNOWS they don’t need those gonads because they apparently produce no testosterone and are clearly not connected in any way to “man shit”….unless we include “man shit for brains”

This week, after running scared like letftist sissies because of the incident in which a Starbucks employee called the cops on two black non-customers waiting for a white acquaintance and not purchasing anything, Starbucks has essentially announced that selling over priced homo coffee is NOT their raison d’etre, rather it is being:

“committed to creating a culture of warmth and belonging where everyone is welcome”.

And I thought five dollars for too much cream in a coffee was hard to get my head around.

Listen…..shit like that in Philadelphia is going to happen.  There is NO WAY that a bunch of limp wristed, metro-sexual, country and military hating, lisping, college educated baristas is going to be down with the cause enough that they can be planted in an urban Philadelphia coffee shop and not be scared of ANY black man….we (you) train them like that.  We (you) spend a lot of money to send them to Unicon U, where they are taught to love MS-13 but hate anti-abortionists, where they get all on board with the faux hardships of the aggrieved class, often black Americans, until they realize that THEY are the ones the aggrieved class are aggrieved about.  We (you) teach them to conflate the gun with the shooter (or the other way around….I only half way know what ‘conflate’ means).  Starbucks, though I am no fan, was PERFECTLY in their rights to call the cops on the men.  Was it smart?  NO…but Starbucks gets what its’ approach to the real world has groomed…..a bunch of pansies playing in a grown up world by rules that are abandoned every time they are needed.

So what does Starbucks do?  They punish every employee for the sins of one, forcing them to go to diversity training (which would have been taken place while I was watching Investigation Discovery because I have had about all of THAT useless shit I can handle), and THEN they abandon the policy, throw the doors open, make Starbucks an all play.  I guess they figure that the can get more sales from the street people if they let them use the Starbucks bathroom.

It is shit like this, this complete abandonment of standards when confronted with their own stupidity, that is going to keep anyone from ever having any thing worth a damn.  I am reminded that Starbucks declined a request of a Marine in Iraq to send some of his buddies and he a blend of coffee because the Marine had gotten his fellows hooked in it.  Seems like Starbucks supported the Marines, but not the war (which is always a lie), and declined.  You see Starbucks can’t be bothered with our troops in harms way…..they are busy opening the doors to all comers, because it is no longer about coffee….about substance….they exist to make everybody welcome.

And all they have to do is make and sell over priced coffee….just…shut up….and sell the coffee….

…..and grow some damned gonads……because the ones you guys have?

Completely useless.

How long will you allow this to last, liberal?

Well, another school shooting, victims in the double digits, round up the usual suspects, point the usual fingers.

I wonder…..exactly how many of our children….YOUR children, the left is going to let die before they address THE problem.  And I say the left, because you and I both know that, when it comes to school boards, education administrators, teachers unions, they are leftists……our entire public school system was born of the left and the lefts need to educate people to govern the rest of us, all others being expendable.  That is, of course, an entirely different conversation, but if you doubt me, read the works, writings and biographies of Theodore Roosevelt, the first progressive President (though like John McCain, a nominal republican) and Woodrow Wilson (the racist, statist, NWO first socialist President).

Think about it…….as the US birth rate declines, dragging down the population of “Americans” in America (and the economy with it), and we open our doors to all manner of illegal immigrants, the left has DOUBLED the opportunities for children in this nation to not make it to voting age.  Assuming that they survive the womb (abortion being a leftist mandate), they now have a chance, not a good one but not an impossible one, of getting killed in high school; the former because they insist, the latter because they resist.  I will never fathom the urge to abort a child as a matter of course….and don’t give me the shit on it…..we as a nation do entirely too much of it for it to be predominantly a matter of necessity.  But I can certainly get my head around the desire to protect your child in public school, even if you won’t protect your child FROM public school.

So, liberal, why don’t you?  How many of our children, of YOUR children, are you willing to allow to be killed by wack jobs, until YOU grow up, acknowledge the problem, and try and actually do something.  Don’t use some ignorant, Marxist, high school shit for brains as your anti-gun front man, don’t ban guns (you don’t ban booze, you don’t ban texting and driving and you don’t ban a host of other things involved in getting people killed, because you realize it is the BEHAVIOR, not the hardware that is the problem).  Since you refuse to have standards, standards that you are willing to have enforced, since your shallow mind allows you to retreat and for everyone else to give up something for the wack job shooter, how long before you actually DO something?

How many studies or first hand accounts do you need to read, see, or be a part of, that show that armed, trained guards are a deterrent?  How long will you resist arming teachers who are willing to perform the role?  How long will we teach tolerance of victimized, and not how to place three shots in a circle the size of a quarter at 25m?  How long are you going to preach fear of guns, and tolerance of those that use them to kill your kids?  How many times will you allow inclusiveness and political correctness to allow a kid to remain in school, a kid that CLEARLY needs help?

How long are you willing to send your kids into an environment and then ensure that they are helpless, and make them targets, without doing something about it?  Without doing something about the real problem?

How long liberal?

And let me tell you….my children are all grown and working for a living, raising a family, not in your state sanctioned shooting galleries.  TECHNICALLY, I don’t care; you take as long as you want.  Of course, this isn’t a technical question….this is a human question….I don’t want to see your kids shot up…..give the problem to me and I will fix it.

But these are your kids….you take as long as you want.

The Backwards Thinking of Democrats……which is why they lie.

Remember Willie Brown?  Brown is a black man (that sounds odd when I say it out loud), the two time mayor of San Francisco and a faaaaaarrrrrrrrr left left-tard.  Frankly I didn’t realize that there were enough blacks in San Francisco to elect a black mayor, but as Kanye West has acknowledged…..a black lib is merely a black man until in the pocket of a white lib, so I suppose it makes sense.  Well, Brown has written an editorial for the San Francisco Chronicle entitled “Trump Is More Popular Than Dems Want to Admit.” At least one lefty gets it.

Sort of.

https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/williesworld/article/Trump-is-more-popular-than-Dems-want-to-admit-12908579.php

Brown exhorts his fellow democrats to change course now if they want to be victorious in November.

In his second full paragraph Brown writes ” Like it or not, a significant number of Americans are actually happy these days. They are making money. They feel safe, and they agree with with the president’s protectionist trade policies, his call for more American jobs, even his immigration stance”.

He goes on the write “Like it or not, a significant number of Americans are actually happy these days. They are making money. They feel safe, and they agree with with the president’s protectionist trade policies, his call for more American jobs, even his immigration stance. The jobs growth reports, the North Korea summit and the steady economy are beating out the Stormy Daniels scandal and the Robert Mueller investigation in Middle America, hands down”.

Now….think about that for a minute….one of the former, shining stars of California leftist malfeasance, is warning his fellow liberals, statists, socialists and eventually communists, that “Like it or not, a significant number of Americans are actually happy these days.”  Let me just suggest that there is NOBODY, certainly no elected official, in this country that should NOT like it, that Americans are happy.  NOBODY.  Isn’t that one of the reasons we ELECT people to represent us?  Safety, freedom, a path to affluence….all of which, in the end, would lead to happiness?   I think so, and I do not think I am alone in that.  But Brown sees SOME of the writing on the political wall…..he sees that his fellow democrats DO NOT LIKE IT, that Americans are happy.

And with that acknowledgement, because that is what it is, an acknowledgement, Brown is admitting that the goal of the democrats is not what makes the American people happy, but rather what makes democrat party officials, idealogues, the media happy.  And Brown even speaks to the appearance of democrats being like children on the playground; the left sees only so much happiness to go around, and it is for them to have, and if you have any, it is the happiness they want you to have; the more happiness you have, the less they have.  That is why the left only knows of one way to generate “happiness”; take it from others to give to the unhappy, a demographic that they will define.

And because the left has to convince you that they hold the keys to your happiness, only by making others unhappy, and because that never is successful over time…..they have to lie.

“Like it or not”?  They don’t like it, because they aren’t interested in your happiness.  They are interested in their power.  And because they cannot campaign against happiness, they have to lie.  It isn’t complicated.  And trust me……return the left to power one more time, and we will never regain the promise of the founders, and within the decade the left WILL like it.

Because nobody will be happy.

Meghan McCain is correct.....someone should be fired

John McCain and the Democrats…..the gift that keeps on giving.  I put digits to keyboard here, with all deference to the generation ahead of me, the one that served in Vietnam.  When I entered the service, it was common to serve around and with more senior sergeants and officers that had been in the Army in Vietnam; that wasn’t me.  As a matter of fact, there is more than a passing possibility that my own birth was someone else’s effort to avoid service in Vietnam.  I have no first-hand knowledge of being a POW and excepting some training, no inkling of torture.

That said….I am an opinionated ass, so here I go.

The flap this week, stemming from a comment purportedly made by a white house aide (or congressional, I don’t know…..the truth has been obscured by the media and the left…..the regular actors)….this is complete bullshit.  The comment was, to wit, that John McCain is irrelevant because he was going to be dead soon anyhow.  That isn’t an exact quote, but it is close enough and I am sure as tasteless as the actual comment.

My Lord you would have thought that Obama had sold the free world to Iran in return for them agreeing to slow down on their plan to nuke Israel and the US……wait, wait a minute….there was no outrage there….my bad.  You would have thought that the comment was as vile, even half as vile as something that comes spilling from the foul mouth of Maxine Waters daily.  Hmmmm…no outrage there either.  I guess we COULD equate the comment to anti-Christian, anti-Conservative, anti-heterosexual, anti-law and order, anti-Constitutional comments made by Samantha Bee, Hillary Clinton, Rosie McDonald, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Joe Biden, Terry McCauliffe, Kammala Harris, Nancy Pelosi….Dick Durbin…..Joy Reid, any fucktard named Cuomo…….I mean, literally EVERYBODY in the constellation of liberal media and politicians and faux entertainment system……we could equate the comment by the staffer to ANY OF THOSE PEOPLE….

…..because they make comments DAILY, which are just as bad, if not far worse, than anything a staffer would make about a senator who r remained in the senate betraying conservative values FAR longer than needed, and who is INDEED going to die soon.

And there is an interesting dynamic here; maybe two.  This staffer, whom nobody outside of his immediate family is going to remember the day he changes jobs, is being trashed by every media outlet with a reader or listener, is being held up as heartless, evil incarnate……..and all of the names I mentioned above, who are in the public world, on media, in movies and TV, in congress…..get a complete pass……a….complete…..pass.

Because the sin of that conservative staffer is far worse than the sins they commit daily in their loathing of conservatives…..because they say so…..and the media carries their water.

Another dynamic is a little more difficult to put a finger on….but it is related to the first.  Meghan McCain, who has spent her life trading on the family name because she is COMPLETELY talentless…..and I have always suspected not too smart (and I say that with absolutely no fear of anyone making a strong case to the contrary) was on the “View” on Friday, saying that she did not understand the environment where someone could work a job, make a comment like the staffer made, and still be employed the next day. 

The “View”.  She said that on the “View”.

Apparently the only acceptable punishment in all cases is now, losing your job.

Let that sink in.  Meghan McCain, pretty much the female Morning Joe, sits on the VIEW among some of the stupidest women standing up right, foul mouthed, uninformed, violating decency and exhibiting ignorance every time they voice an opinion, and suggests SOMEONE ELSE SHOULD LOSE A JOB. 

And liberals will never ever see that yes…..someone SHOULD lose a job, and in Meghan’s case it should be every single one of the women that she was sitting with.

Listen……..I don’t know if John McCain is a hero…..I know he served and that alone, increasingly in our nation, is a rarity.  I know he served five years as a POW and all accounts are that he was mistreated, horribly.  I don’t know if he is guilty of the professional indiscretions that have haunted him.  I DO know that he never testified against his nation before the senate, like John Kerry.  I DO know that his father and grandfather were both admirals, a pedigree that should have ensured he would have been a flag officer as well, but did not.  I DO know that he was implicated in the ABSCAM sting and suffered no consequences…..and I DO know that he has been a reliable ally of and frequent supporter of liberals and their agenda.  It is clear that he loathes President Trump and has indicated NO willingness to put the nation ahead of that loathing.  And it is clear, to ME, maybe nobody else, that this crap storm over the comments of the staffer, is nothing more than another hypocritical, fake outrage by a political movement that is a constant source of real outrage.  This time the left is using the McCain family, Meghan WILL wake up to the reality that she is being used as a tool, once the left used her for all it can get.  In the meantime, the puppet masters are laughing and high fiving themselves that they have once again created something from nothing, none of which they care about.

Yes…..people across that sordid spectrum should lose their jobs…..and includes the zombies on the “View”, and,  based on performance recently, quite possibly John McCain.

I apologize....my "Cultural Americanism" is showing....my bad.

This woman is absolutely a piece of racist, ignorant, ill informed, bias, bigoted, trash.  Whatever she spent on her college degree should be refunded and she should return to the ‘hood from whence she came.  And in case you are female and think I am referring to you, I am not.  I am referring to April Ryan, the White House correspondent for Urban Radio Networks (which in and of itself would call into question the legitimacy of the Urban Radio Network).  If you recall, Ms. Ryan was the brain-dead wiener that accused Sarah Huckabee Sanders of being “street” after she intentionally took out of context the comment from Sanders that “you don’t know me.”  Apparently, Sanders stating the obvious, that Ryan didn’t know her, as evidenced by Ryan’s stupid question of Sanders,  is “street” from where Ryan hails.  To ME, the reality that Ryan understands the “street” reference is more an indictment of her than of Sanders.

Ryan was clearly hoping that her belittling of Sanders in the wake of that remark would go viral, making her the black, fat, ignorant equal to CNN’s Jim Acosta.  That goal failed and Ryan almost slipped into the obscurity which would be far to good for her, except……you always know that there is an “except”….except today she really stepped in it, when she stated that the first lady, Melania Trump, was not “Culturally American”, but that she was learning.

http://freebeacon.com/politics/april-ryan-melania-trump-not-culturally-american/

I guess, after I quit choking on the stupidity of Ryan’s comment (and that is apparently her stock in trade), what occurred to me is; what the hell does April Ryan know about being “culturally American?”  Does cultural Americanism involve being an uninformed, biased idiot?  Does it involve open borders?  Anti-law and order, anti-police stances?  Does it involve support for anti-American organizations such as BLM, ANTIFA and the democrat party?  Does it involve open ended Muslim infiltration of our institutions?  Does it involve social welfare programs that rob us of our future?  Abortion?  Anti-Judeo-Christian sentiment?  Does it involve the government being the guarantor of rights, but only the government can determine what those are? Political correctness that paralyzes the body politic?  LBGT lifestyle?  Quota hiring’s?  A corrupt and politicized media?  An almost endemic disregard for law and order? For April Ryan (and that CNN tool Erin Burnett that gave Ryan the platform), what is a cultural American?  Does ANYONE but me find it odd that someone deeply rooted in the counter culture of a Constitutional republic, should reference something as foreign to her as a “cultural American”?

Melania Trump is a citizen of the United States, and has been for over a decade.  In that respect she is more “culturally American” than many people that the left (and Ms. Ryan is a leftist) champions over natural born citizens.  She has been a successful figure in the advertising industry (and success alone puts her far ahead of many of the lefts “cultural Americans”.  She speaks five languages, which makes her quite a bit more educated than A LOT of “cultural Americans” (Ms. Ryan included).  So, what equals a cultural American in the view of April Ryan…..and for that matter, anyone who agrees with her?

I suspect that Ms. Ryan’s’ view of a cultural American is someone to the left, who hates conservatives.  Being a disgusting moron is likely a plus.

Perhaps, in the end…..the First Lady simply isn’t “street” enough.

If it please the members of the senate.....and I KNOW IT WILL.....

We have gone straight down the rabbit hole.  And think for a MOMENT about this.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/9-11-planner-tortured-by-cia-asks-to-tell-senators-about-gina-haspel/ar-AAwY5mx?ocid=ientp

If you are like me, 09/11 told you everything you needed to know about Islam…..followed by almost 20 years of Islam reinforcing the lesson and using leftists, progressives and what was once the democrat party as instructors.

If you are like me, the absolutely reprehensible behavior of the American left in the wake of the 2016 election told you everything you needed to know about progressives, their disregard for you, for the law and for the truth (and let me be sure you know that the American progressives includes a media that is in no way free, by its’ own choice).

So it should come as no surprise that, when asked, the US senate, increasingly useless to US citizens, is considering allowing the mastermind planner of the 09/11 attacks to testify against Gina Haspel, the President Trump nominee to be the director of the CIA, on his treatment at the hands of the CIA once captured.   How does one even wrap their gourd around the IDEA that we would let the architect of 3000 US murders have a voice at the table concerning the person nominated to run the agency charged with finding the architect of 3000 US murders?  How?  I guess it makes perfect sense if you are a leftard, if you believe that John Brenan, a despicable man in and out of office, a communist and closet muslim, did a fine job in running the CIA and in lying to congress and attempting to de-legitimize the President and the law….yeah, I guess that works for you.  But most people in this nation aren’t quite as intellectually bankrupt as that (an I grant you that appears to be a narrow majority, but still “most”.

Yes, the left will disregard that, on any given day, a woman at the helm of the CIA would be a dream, for which they would get behind immediately to prove their fealty to “diversity”.  But this isn’t that day….because listening to an avowed terrorist and murderer and letting that inform your decisions on who should lead the agency charged with stopping terrorists and murderers is far more important than diversity; it is treasonous……and the progressive left must remain loyal to their base motivations, as a minimum.

In all earnestness.....seriously.....not kidding

We do remember Josh Earnest, right?  Of course that is rhetorical.  I once pitied the man, named “earnest” and charged with speaking for Barrack Obama…..then I realized that the man lied like contractor grade carpet, and that despite his name, he was in the PERFECT job for his skill set.

And I will come back to him.

Right now, let’s do this.

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/were-you-lying-sanders-faces-new-credibility-questions/ar-AAwIPvN?ocid=ientp

I have mentioned before that the left, and the media is a huge part of that, will destroy whatever and whomever necessary (except Clinton and Obama or another out front left tard) in order to get at Trump, even if they cannot get a single thing on Trump except their own loathing.  Sarah Huckabee Sanders appears to be the next target, the media’s appetite whetted after they and a shit head from Montana harpooned an admirals shot at being the VA secretary.  The White House press corps has the audacity to ask a press secretary if she lied on behalf of the President.  Evidently any shame they felt after last weeks correspondents’ dinner has passed.

And I am not saying that wouldn’t be possible, the lying I mean, which brings me back to Josh Earnest.  One thing he was never accused of was being dishonest with the media, one of the things he rarely was, was honest with the media, and one of the things the media never questioned was his honesty.  If he has a soul, Josh Earnest sold it to be behind the podium, regularly repeating the lies of and dodging the questions about the President and his own public statements; like your taxes not going up, like the greatness of his foreign policy (a debacle of enormous proportions….buddy buddy as he was with the North Koreans, Russians, Islamic militants and Iranians), like keeping your health insurance or your doctor……and on and on and on……Earnest WAS the face of a lying liar and the lies he lied…..

……and the White House press corps dutifully carried his water….and NEVER questioned his honesty.

Ever.

If Sarah Sanders was not a lady, nobody would blame her for wading into that crowd with an axe handle.

Nobody.

No Hillary.....not capitalism......criminality

“Criminal……not capitalist…….criminal.”

This is absolutely un-fathomable.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/05/03/hillary-clinton-says-being-capitalist-likely-hurt-her-among-socialist-dems.html

I made a comment to an FB friend the other day (actually, he and his wife are REAL friends after a few days of drunken debauchery in the Florida Keys a few years back), that the real tragedy of the “Trump-Russia Dossier” is its’ nature as a cottage industry.  The thing has been proven to be, at the LEAST unfounded, and in large part, to the extent that anyone cared to actually check its’ provenance, a lie.  It was, is, a lie, written down on paper, leaked by  US intelligence chiefs (Clapper and Brennan) to the media (both of which are now paid “experts” for leftist news networks), and used to launch an ongoing investigation into President Trump in an effort to impeach and remove him from President.  In the world of thinking people, the “dossier” is a factor only because it is a lie…..sort of like “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”, which purported to be a reflection of Jewish goals to rule the world, was a motivator in the open anti-semitism of the NAZI’s.  And yet, the media continues to high five themselves on “the good get”, give one another awards and the elected and anointed left continues to refer to it as something relevant.  Spiderman has more relevancy.

But Hillary Clinton does not.  Like a monster from another, dark and forbidden world, the Hillary has come from the shadows, to push forward the progressive dream for the midterm elections, Hillary has now announced that her capitalism hurt her with the far left of her party in the elections.

Her being a capitalist…..it hurt her with the left in her party.

Or…..white men.

Or….men telling their wives how to vote.

Or…..The Russians.

Or…..we it Trump colluding with the Russians?

What exactly was it?  Because I gotta tell you…..the “I’m a capitalist and therefore unpopular in my party” shit is just a little lame, even for Hillary.  How would you even explain that?  If you listen to Bernie Sanders, who is more full of shit than a city landfill, he lauds the virtues of capitalism, with his main caveat being that it is capitalism and would be just fine if it were not capitalism.  Hillary is the exact same way……she is no capitalist; she staked her ground out as a progressive and that is what she is.  She is all in on state managed, owned or otherwise run, economy…..and she can CALL that capitalism if she wants to do so…..but it is socialism.  And I am not even arguing that, through regulation from the alphabet soup agencies of the federal government, we aren’t almost there yet……I am arguing that she would take us all of the way there…..and that didn’t hurt her among the left.

Hillary’s entire party is left.  As a matter of fact, we need to coin a new phrase for it, because a classical “Liberal” is not what the party has become.  The main difference between her and Bernie in 2016 is that Bernie was very clear that he did not buy into the American way…..that way he has used to freeload his sorry ass through life with….he is an avowed anti-Constitutionalist and socialist, which is why he has always been a reliable democrat vote.  Hillary can’t be honest about anything.

And that is what hurt her, even in a party of lies.  Most of those leftists assholes are honest with themselves even if they lie to the nation as a job requirement.  Hillary isn’t even honest with herself.

Because if she was….she would realize that capitalism is not her problem.

DAMN YOU BOY SCOUTS!!!!! WE WILL HAVE NONE OF THAT!!!!

The flotsam, jetsam and carnage of the politically correct madness of the US……or……

…How over a century of tradition is no longer valid.

By now we have all read that the Boy Scouts of America, dedicated to training young boys in responsible citizenship, character development, and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities, educational programs, and, at older age levels, career-oriented programs in partnership with community organizations, has been eviscerated.   Scouting values such as trustworthiness, good citizenship, and outdoors skills, are taught through a variety of activities such as camping, aquatics, and hiking.  Scouting is, was, a leadership and service organization focused on turning young men into boys of responsible citizenship, character, and self-reliance Over a century old, the BSA was founded in 1910, and since then, more than 110 million Americans have been participants in BSA programs at some time.

It was a great model and a good thing for boys and young men.

OR…..so we thought.  As of yesterday the BSA surrendered to the political correct movement that insists that the unequal be equal, that boys be no more than girls and that girls not be girls, though they cannot be men.  The article at the link below explains it better than I ever can.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/30130/walsh-boy-scouts-matt-walsh?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_content=062316-news&utm_campaign=dwbrand

I never had the joy of being a scout; given my mothers iron fisted and somewhat arbitrary rule of myself and my siblings, we were each lucky enough to belong to anything but a larger group of survivors.  I would have LOVED too…to have been a scout, I knew a bunch of them, they all seemed to be good peeps.  I was a “Tiger Scout” dad with my own son (THAT was like trapping water on a flat surface), I loved THAT experience, but I was never a scout.

But me not being a Boy Scout is apparently something I can accept a lot better than gays can accept themselves not being scouts or scout leaders, or feminists can tolerate their biological female children not being boy scouts.  In our culture today, something that identifies a boy, a male, as unique, as special, cannot be allowed to stand; it must be destroyed at all cost.  Not changed, but destroyed.  It would never be enough to introduce into the girl scouts the elements of boy scouting that the feminist left claims to want, because that is not what they want…..they want the Boy Scouts of America to be destroyed.

And they did it.

Now, ASSUMING that the Girl Scouts must change and must change their name also, let me tell you how this is going to play out.   ONLY through social engineering, forcing the issue, will girls flock to the “Boy” scouts. There will be some, some will be attracted to the outdoorsy part of it, but nothing substantial. The nominal that trickle to the “Girl” scouts will be a bunch of junior league wack jobs, “sons” of gay couples, or leftard shitheads who think their children should define their own identity.  Coupled with the admittance of gays as scout leaders, and eventually males as “girl” scout leaders, if we are leveling a playing field, the incidents of molestation charges and pedophilia will go up faster than membership.  And the popcorn and cookies which we all buy to show support, will still taste like crap.

And everyone will be SHOCKED that…..once again, in an effort to criminalize something like gender specific scouting, we created criminals.  This week we allowed our fascination with a lie, our distance from truth and what is right, destroy an organization completely……specifically as part of destroying America.  Over 100 years of a national organization was no longer good enough for the left……so it had to be destroyed.

Like the article says….never surrender to the lies of these people; we will end up with nothing.  Keep your children away from scouting…..and for good measure, anything the left touches.

California....the land of the corrupt and stupid

Here is a democrat for you…..as a matter of fact, here is a whole state full of democrats for you…..California is suing the United States, President Trump and the EPA in particular, for reducing restrictive limits on automobile pollution emissions.

Just so YOU understand……if the EPA reduces the emission standards (which are THE most restrictive in the world and have helped California none at all, ever, not never), there is absolutely nothing to prevent California from doing what it has done in the past, and have specific, state mandated, emission standards for cars made in or sold in or used in California.  Of course car manufacturers would be less likely to build in California, dealers less likely to sell in California, and drivers less likely to move to California….but shit like that has never bothered that state before.

But, California is not content with their ability to jack up the state of California, its’ economy and its’ quality of life, over an issue that has not proven to bring anything to the state other than mindless virtue signaling.  Nope, through their lawsuit, the California government wants EVERYONE to pay.

In fairness, there are 14 other states that have jumped on the lawsuit…including the nations other major failure, New York.  But California has over achieved by considering a law that will outlaw references to traditional (actual) gender “stereotypes” (like male, female, flaming homo, woman with pecker…..that sort of thing), so it has that going for it.

At what point do we just write that state off as a complete loss?  The largest homeless population of any state in the nation, paying for illegal immigrants (with our tax dollars), refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement, legalizing everything abnormal while supporting nothing traditionally seen as normal, the state cannot even muster a jury that will find guilty an illegal alien who was SEEN murdering a US citizen.  The state taxes the crap out of EVERYTHING yet is well known for using the “revenue” to not fix any of its’ problems.  If New York, Chicago, Houston, Oregon and Seattle are to the left of center, California has left the reservation completely. 

California boasts that it has one of the 10 biggest economies in the world…..apparently there is no incongruence with the inability to pay your bills.  Or contribute.

The sad part is….there are some good people in California….I work with one who only stays because he is comfortable enough and old enough where the state would have to take EVERYTHING he has in order for him to move.

But he considers it on occasion.

Because he is not so sure that California isn’t considering that itself.
