Seriously, I’d suggest you just click and scroll until you’ve read most of it.
A small taste:
There is something deep here, some psychological damage present in the West, such that we, as an entire civilization, have lost the ability to take pleasure in anything, and have merely exchanged pleasure for pain in everything we do. Pleasure has lost its novelty. We are like Slaanesh in the Warhammer 40k world.
Where once we celebrated achievement, putting a man on the moon, inventing, building, and learning… now we celebrate victimhood in a form of emotional sadomasochism. Everything is about being made to feel bad. Imagine coming to work in the morning, chugging your cup of coffee, seeing a friend and saying “hey, how’s it going?” Said friend responds cheerfully and happily, “oh, it’s been going horrible, I got run over by a bus, and discriminated against by HR, catcalled by a thug, and my house burned down then got sucked into a tornado! How’s it with you?”
It’s almost that ridiculous.
If you walked on the moon, check your privilege, because I’m a bigger victim than you. If you cured AIDS, fuck you, you were privileged because you’re white, or have a penis. They will say things like, oh you want to know what challenge is, Mr. Quantum Physicist? Challenge is trying to make it in STEM when you’re mentally ill, bipolar, on meds, when you’re a genderqueer black Hispanic Muslim lesbian from Somalia. Who got sucked into a tornado.
On a personal front, I’m just getting back from a long-overdue and much-enjoyed family vacation so I am a bit behind the news. I have a lot to say once I catch up – if I can ever get my thoughts to cohere enough to be writable.
Why am I back? Because war has been declared and I intend to join the fray in whatever capacity is required. For now, blogging. Let’s hope it stays there. I much prefer drawing penises on people to what, in my more pessimistic moments, I fear is coming.
A more salient tipping point for West however was Donald Trump’s use of Twitter during the US election and his major role in normalising and legitimising lies, hate and abuse of almost everyone.
West commented, “What finally got me to leave is the way Donald Trump is using that platform as President. He is using it in a way that I think is dangerous to human life on earth”.
I think I can say without hyperbole that this woman cannot even think without using hyperbole.
Minitrue thinks they have a weiner!!!! But they’ve been trumped.
Defending his stalled immigration ban, Trump said “there was no way to vet those people. There was no documentation. There was nothing.”
(Politifact sez) Trump has said this before. It’s False. A refugee vetting system does exist and has existed since 1980.
Powerline sez
That is true. If Trump had said vetting was inadequate, he would have been correct. But to say there was “no documentation. There was nothing” is an exaggeration. Score: 2-1, Trump.
Trump was talking about vetting people from places like Iran, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan and Libya. and the other places he travelly banned, how do you vet people who come from some place with no central gov’t? How do you vet people when you cannot trust the gov’t to be truthful? Iran, Yemen, Sudan, Libya and Syria would love to ship terrorists here. How have we been doing ‘vetting’ folks from Somalia?
Saying he’s “wrong” would be a stretch.
At least they didn’t score his Sweden remark as false like our fine Minitrue betters who’ve been pumping out story after fakenews about it.
The former Swedish foreign minister wondered what Donald Trump was “smoking” after the president referred to a nonexistent terror attack in the Scandinavian country.
“Sweden? Terror attack? What has he been smoking? Questions abound,”
So what did he say?
“You’ve got to keep our country safe. You look at what’s happening in Germany, you look at what’s happening last night in Sweden,” he said during the speech in Melbourne, Fla.
GANGS OF CRIMINAL YOUTHS FROM MUSLIM IMMIGRANT SUBURBS OF STOCKHOLM AND GOTHENBURG HAVE STARTED TRAVELING TO NORWAY TO COMMIT BURGLARIES AND OTHER CRIMES, POLICE IN OSLO HAVE REPORTED.
Yeah, but they’re Swedish citizens!
Ellefsen said most of the Swedish gang members causing trouble in Norway were well-known to Swedish police, and that their anonymity in Norway, as well as the relative wealth of the country’s citizens, was what was luring them across the border.
“They also know well that there is a lot of wealth in Norwegian homes,” he said. Three of the four Swedes arrested are of Somali descent, while the fourth is Iraqi.
But let’s call Trump a liar for stating the obvious.
I said that Norway and Denmark were going to laugh at Sweden, but I wuz wrong. They’re going to be pretty fucking pissed off if this trend keeps happening.
How funny would it be if Sweden did not stop people from entering their country but their citizens are not allowed into their neighbor’s countries?
A municipal authority in Manitoba, Canada is concerned about the influx of dozens of “asylum seekers” who showed up to border town of Emerson Sunday morning.
“I’m scared, the bigger the numbers — if we don’t have enough officials, someone is going to slip through the crack because there’s so many people to process,” Reeve Greg Janzen, a municipal authority, told CBC News.
The illegal refugees are crossing over form North Dakota and are being processed at the remote prairie town with minimal investigation by Canada Border Service Agency officials.
Janzen said the small town of 671 residents — portrayed by the Canadian media as mostly supportive of the illegals — has become restive because of the increasing numbers and the frequency of the border violations.
Reality trumps lefty idiocy.
They can bash Trump all they want, let’s see how they like all the ‘refugees’ who are going to flee America because of the hyperbole and stupidity of our fine social, moral, intellectual and political betters.
Bosbach heard them tell how they had fled their country for fear of jihadist violence. Eventually, they reached the part of their story, in which they filled in their asylum application, in one of the foreign offices of the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). There, they faced a BAMF employee with a headscarf, who was going to decide whether or not they, Christians, would get protected status.
That’s hilarious. The folks in the religion of those doing the terrorizing are stopping the folks being terrorized by their co-religionists from fleeing oppression. I love this
“is not entirely ungrounded. Therefore, I cannot understand, why only Muslims in BAMF get to decide whether or not Christians, who fled from radical Muslims, get the right to stay in the Federal Republic of Germany.”
WTF? Only Muslims get to decide on Christians’ status?
Jebus. Eh, maybe we’ll see a pogrom against someone besides the Jews if EUnuch masters do not stop shitting on their serfs.
They need to get Trumped but since they’re Europeans, they usually get someone a lot less non-fascist.
The way our shithead pols are shitting on us. Now, this is a fakenewser extraordinaire, but it feels right.
One of President Trump’s primary goals — and a long-standing priority of the Republican Party — is to repeal the Affordable Care Act, a.k.a. Obamacare. On Thursday, House Republican leaders briefed members on aspects of their plan, but there is as yet no consensus on what the plan will ultimately contain.
Yeah, about what I expected. They’re trying to trump us.
But that bit about it being a “long-standing priority of the Republican Party” is wrong. It’s been a priority of Republican voters, but the Party apparatchiks have been too busy throwing stinky fish at me to get me to slap my fins and honk my horn. That’s why we have Trump instead of a Republican.
who believe that he is a budding fascist dictator on the verge of building concentration camps, but if you really did believe that, wouldn’t you wish, at least a little, that the media hadn’t been exactly as hysterical when faced with the bland, anodyne visage of Mitt Romney? Or John McCain? You want to be taken seriously now after insisting that Dick Cheney was the new American Gestapo?”
He’s extremely uninterested in doing what the We’re Better And Smarter Than You Party wants so he is therefore very extreme! Right John Fucking McCain?
I never figured out why Foxnews replaced Tony Snow with Minitrue member in good standing, Chris Wallace. I just do not like that guy and it seemed they could have found someone from outside the media-bubble. But they made their decision so we get stories like this.
Chris Wallace, who only has a career in news because of his hack father Mike Wallace had a meltdown while interviewing Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. Bitter Wallace is a leftist hack, like Shepard Smith, which is why I watch less and less of Fox News these days. As usual, Wallace’s talking points centered around thee faux Russian hacking.
The fucking stupidity of focusing so much time and effort on ‘Russia Hacked Our Election!!!!’ stupidity. That ignores all the nefarious, treasonous and felonious contacts between the Golden Cow and Tsar Putin I.
We are supposed to forget that Obama and Hillary spent years bashing Bush because he alienated Russia and now, we’re supposed to be OUTRAGED!!!! over some Minitrue idiocy about Trump and Russia?
The so-called global elite have done well for themselves, but left working families with shrinking wages. Really they are shrinking. 18 years ago though many of you in this room made more money working one job than you’re making right now working two and three jobs. Instead of peace, we’ve seen wars that never end and conflicts that never seem to go away. We don’t fight to win. We fight politically correct wars. We don’t win anymore. We don’t win at trade. We don’t win in any capacity. We don’t win anymore. We’re going to start winning again. Believe me.
Yes, winning is so gauche, it’s just not done by all the right people.
You know, the ones still whining about losing an election.
Also via Cold Fury, we see this bit of ‘Wargaming‘, where some non-occutardish types get sick of occutardish and BLM violent rioting.
It’s very interesting, my only quibble would be all the Spec-Ops!!!!! frills. For instance, why get LE-only radios? Much of the Tacticool!!! stuff would only produce a trail for the police to follow.
I do love this fillip, it’s what I expect.
And just for fun, the night before, he’d left enough parts and exemplars inside the garage of the witch organizing this event to see her off to a long odyssey through the federal courts and prison system, after one anonymous phone call. Life’s a bitch, especially when you are one, he chuckled to himself as he salted the items among her possessions the night before.
Lovely. Attack a lefty riot and blame the attack on the organizer of the riot. That’s hilarious.
Our fine betters should pick their battles better, or they’re gonna be standing there, looking at a 5 foot metal chicken. Click that, read it. It’s old but it’s awesomely funny. You’ll LOL you will.
Towards the end of the exchange, I became emotional. I could no longer hear Mr. Horowitz speaking and so did not even hear his injection of Hezbollah’s credo of “rounding up” Jews in his last tangent. I could no longer contain my anger at being implicitly and improperly labeled a terrorist, an anti-Semite, and a proponent of genocide. The answer I was coerced into giving grossly misrepresented my beliefs and ideologies.
You can watch the vid, it surely looks as if her “defense” is a lie. YMMV.
The funniest part? She thinks this makes it all better.
My answer, “for it,” in the context in which it was said does NOT mean “for” genocide. I was referring to his initial question that asked me for my position on Hamas,
Sen. John McCain slammed President Donald Trump’s attacks on the media this week by noting dictators “get started by suppressing free press.”
I really don’t like that fuckhead.
Trump isn’t “suppressing” the free press, he’s calling them the lazy, biased, ignorant and stupid lying sacks of shit they are.
But he continued, “If you want to preserve — I’m very serious now — if you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press,”
Yeah about that, they need to be “adversarial” to all politicians, not just lying sacks of adversarial shit against the ones they hate and lying sacks of obsequious shit for the ones they love.
Hundreds of public buildings in Rome are occupied by political parties and associations that have not been paying rent for years. According to data as of November 30, over than six million Euros (6.8) are missing from the coffers of Ater-Roma, Rome’s public housing body.
About as expected.
I’m rooting for Italy to get a Trump, but they already had one (Beppe Grillo), since they’re Europeans, I expect them to get someone who’s closer to what our fine media idiots think Trump is.
These “leaks” are untrustworthy, but I’d say we all really need to be good so this one comes true.
Senior White House officials and members of the National Security Council are pushing former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton as a replacement for ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn, according to multiple sources in and out of the White House who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.
Oh man would that be beautiful. What’s the opposite of “Pyrrhic Victory”? Because losing Flynn but gaining Bolton would be that.
The rest have no scheme except they’re NY Post heavy.
I can usually say, “This is the theme.” but lately it’s been nearly impossible, so in no particular order:
Trump fans are getting license plates so totally tolerant lefties will know which cars to trash! My two faves.
TRUMPU
TRUMPWON
That’s funny. I figure the vehicle with the second one doesn’t last a month.
An Obama-tied activist group training tens of thousands of agitators to protest President Trump’s policies plans to hit Republican lawmakers supporting those policies even harder this week, when they return home for the congressional recess and hold town hall meetings and other functions.
I look forward to all the hagiographies about this totally ‘grass-roots’ group.
The manual, published with OFA partner “Indivisible,” advises protesters to go into halls quietly so as not to raise alarms, and “grab seats at the front of the room but do not all sit together.” Rather, spread out in pairs to make it seem like the whole room opposes the Republican host’s positions. “This will help reinforce the impression of broad consensus.” It also urges them to ask “hostile” questions — while keeping “a firm hold on the mic” — and loudly boo the the GOP politician if he isn’t “giving you real answers.”
That’s gonna work out great! Trump is a shoe-in for 2020 now!
Jackasses.
Phoenixians are going to get it good and hard. They got rid of Sheriff Joe and I have a feeling they’re going to discover there are worse things than a sheriff who enforces the laws.
Maricopa County jails will no longer detain people flagged by federal authorities as a courtesy for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Sheriff Paul Penzone said Friday evening.
I live in a very redneck area, we don’t have the same problems the rest of the valley has. The only home invasions in AJ are tweakers home-invading their dealers when they can’t scrape $5 together. I expect Phoenix to have a different experience, what with the beheadings, kidnappings and gang wars. But good luck with that.
I hate all commie dictatorships and the people who act as if they’re not gigantic slave-plantations really piss me off. In China, when people go to the city to work in the factories they’re not allowed to bring their kid so the kids have to stay back in the village and work there. That link is to pictures of the kids left home.
Caption to this pic. Joining parents in the city is not usually an option, as China’s hukou documentation system dictates that education and health care are accessible only in the district where a child is born and registered.
The billion serfs in that murderously commie dictatorship really have it shitty.
I wonder how many kids I could get for Kagogi. I’d probably get more in China than America. Kago would have to dress out at 40lbs at least and you’d get a decent fur coat out of him.
Interesting
It was announced on Saturday that Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos will deliver next Saturday’s keynote address at CPAC
A Democratic Federal Election Commission official who pushed to regulate the internet and has been absent from public meetings for months is resigning, according to an announcement.
Ann Ravel, who wanted to regulate political speech on the internet from websites such as the Drudge Report, announced Sunday that she is stepping down from her post.
Stopping fuckheads like her from regulating political speech is the whole fucking reason we have free speech in the 1st amendment.
Think about how we felt 4 months ago. We were waiting for our gov’t go attack us, not metaphorically but physically. We were in year 8 of Recovery Summer that only helped those connected. The GOP was busily doing Failure Theater while attacking me barely less than they were attacking Trump. It was a dark and stormy time.
Then, we woke up on 11/9 and it was different. The Sun was brighter, the veal tastier, tears of leftists saltier. Like night and day.
It was different for some.
On the morning of November 9, 2016, America’s elite—its talking and deciding classes—woke up to a country they did not know. To most privileged and well-educated Americans, especially those living in its bicoastal bastions, the election of Donald Trump had been a thing almost impossible even to imagine. What sort of country would go and elect someone like Trump as president? Certainly not one they were familiar with, or understood anything about.
That just gave me a huge schadenboner.
With this bit of ultra-hilarity.
Now that those signals are no longer possible to ignore, it is high time for experts and intellectuals to reacquaint themselves with the country in which they live and to begin the task of describing what has befallen the country in which we have lived since the dawn of the new century.
They do not see any reason to understand what happened, they’re too busy attacking us for that./Trump 2020
It’s long but very depressing, I cherry-picked the funny parts. The rest is about how boned we are.
Basically, if you click on “Funniest End of Civilization Evah” on the left, you’ll see much of the same stuff.
That’s freaking awesome. Via this site, Odd Stuff Magazine, that apparently every blogger in the world knows about but me.
And probably Ace.
So is it illusion that it’s no war in Ukraine or is it delusion?
An area near the industrial zone came under fire. As a result of explosions of shells on Levanevskoho Str., Soborna Str., and Lermontova Str., eight houses were damaged by shrapnel. Rooftops, walls, and windows suffered considerable damage,” the press service of the National Police in Donetsk region reported.
Delusion, they’re surely not hiding it. I do not think the spring is going to be fun in much of the world.
Delusional thinking knows no limits!
European leaders get together in Munich to discuss the invasion of a part of Europe!
The Munich Agreement was a settlement permitting Nazi Germany’s annexation of portions of Czechoslovakia along the country’s borders mainly inhabited by German speakers, for which a new territorial designation “Sudetenland” was coined…
Because the state of Czechoslovakia was not invited to the conference,…
Foreign ministers of the Normandy Four have started negotiations in Munich on settlement of the situation in Donbas, according to an UNIAN correspondent…
The talks are being held on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference with the participation of Foreign Ministers of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin, Russia Sergey Lavrov, Germany Sigmar Gabriel, and France Jean-Marc Ayrault,
Eh, at least this time they invited Czechoslovakia…Ukraine. They’re still gonna be betrayed, but they’ll be able to watch it in real time.
CBS News has learned that on Thursday, an angry President Trump called CIA Director Mike Pompeo and yelled at him for not pushing back hard enough against reports that the intelligence community was withholding information from the commander-in-chief.
Every report about Trump from any minitrue outlet should be considered a lie until proven stupid, how could they know he “yelled”? I wouldn’t dispute that Trump called him and took him to task for that bit of assholery, but I sincerely doubt he “yelled at him”. So… is that story delusion or illusional?
When reality violates your ego that rudely, you either have to rewrite the movie in your head to recast yourself as an idiot, or you rewrite the movie to make yourself the hero who could see what others missed. Apparently the Huffington Post chose to rewrite their movie so Trump is a deranged monster, just like they warned us. That’s what they see. This isn’t an example of so-called “fake” news as we generally understand it. This is literally imaginary news. I believe the Huffington Post’s description of the press conference is literally what they saw.
Yup. They cannot admit, especially to themselves, that they’re idiots.
The Northern Arizona University Political Science department recently hosted a “Specter of Fascism” event at which professors repeatedly compared Donald Trump to Hitler and the Nazis.
“The Specter of Fascism” was a panel discussion featuring six NAU professors with specialties covering politics and international affairs, women and gender studies, and criminology.
It’s attempted indoctrination by delusional fools pushing an illusion.
I agree with this bit though
“The material and psychological conditions that made it possible for the Nazis to mobilize masses around an ideologically constructed enemy are the very same conditions in which our politics is unfolding today
Except I’d say the people who are busily rioting around the country are the incipient fascists.
Now, Trump the Fascist is an illusion they’re trying to create, but their idiocy hampers that. Let’s continue the quote about how the conditions are the same as for the Nazis.
explaining that “these material conditions are a capitalist, economic, and bourgeois social world in which private gain…you know, ruthlessly competitive world is celebrated and where economic suffering combine with deep social isolation is the condition we live in.”
Ummmmm, that’s the commie revolution idiot lefties have been masturbating to since Marx first thought it up, the rise of fascism was an entirely different deal.
Okay, I’ve heard some stupid things from Bill Gates, but this is the most disingenuous and delusional thing I’ve ever heard.
Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft and world’s richest man, said in an interview Friday that robots that steal human jobs should pay their fair share of taxes.
“Right now, the human worker who does, say, $50,000 worth of work in a factory, that income is taxed and you get income tax, Social Security tax, all those things,” he said. “If a robot comes in to do the same thing, you’d think that we’d tax the robot at a similar level.”
Disingenuous because he knows the people who run the robots will be taxed so the people buying the products will pay the taxes, delusional because… that’s about the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard.
The worst part? Nancy Pelosi, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and Chuck fucking Schumer just got huge boners and they’re not sure why.
The Church’s legislative body voted last night against a report that calls for continued opposition to same-sex marriage…
Now some clergy have come forward saying they made a mistake when using their voting machines, and that they actually supported their colleagues’ report.
I would bet fifty cents that was supposed to be failure theater. They wanted the vote to be close but they miscounted and screwed it up.
A police veteran with 22 years on the force was told to “tone down” his sexuality if he ever wanted a promotion to lieutenant, according to a discrimination lawsuit.
At first I thought, “I can understand that, women who are cops do not emphasize their femininity so they can intimidate..well…me. Men should not either.”, but then I thought about the fact that he was already a 22 year veteran, that would seem to point out they just don’t like gay cooties.
Everyone knows girls are where cooties come from. I just wish more people would accept that.
F]eminists are pushing a boycott of Trump wines and Wegmans for selling it. … Since the boycott began the sale of Trump Wines has skyrocketed. [story]

A viral video shows a group of women storming into a Nordstrom to cancel their accounts in response to the retailer’s decision to stop selling Ivanka Trump’s fashion brand, promising to shop at Dillard’s instead. [story]
Hah!
The problem is that Veeshir-style boycotts take so much time and effort they’re just not worth it.
While we’re waiting for a new song, let’s look back at 20th century man.
Although…
Ain’t got no ambition, I’m just disillusioned
I’m a twentieth century man but I don’t want to be here.
My mama said she can’t understand me
She can’t see my motivation
Just give me some security,
I’m a paranoid schizoid product of the twentieth century.
He’s not all that different from 21st century man.
Well, except for the fact that a johnson is no longer required for man-hood.
Spillway repairs at the troubled Oroville Dam will get their first major test this weekend, as meteorologists have revised their forecast and are now predicting a much wetter and warmer storm outlook…
“It looks like it’s going to be a pretty good rainmaker,” said NWS meteorologist Mike Smith. “You’re looking at 10 inches from Sunday night to Monday night.”
Only in CA could they screw up hydraulic despotism.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is cleaning house at the State Department, according to a report.
Staffers in the offices of deputy secretary of state for management and resources as well as counselor were shown the door Thursday, according to CBS News.
Many of those let go were on the building’s seventh floor — top-floor bigs — a symbolically important sign to the rest of the diplomatic corps that their new boss has different priorities than the last one.
If there’s one place that needs to be cleaned up it’s the State Dept.
Since they show such malice in their ‘mistakes’, I’d say they deserve it. Reckless disregard is one thing, they’re malicious.
I love this bit
Before Trump was elected president, we suggested that his threats necessitated a federal anti-SLAPP law.
Before Trump you might have had a chance to convince people the media weren’t being malicious and abusing their Constitutional protections, now everybody’s pointing and laughing and if all you assholes get sued out of existence you have only yourselves to blame.
I’m not really fer it, but I’m also not really agin it. Karma being a bitch can be very darn funny.
Three looks at Trump’s presser yesterday.
Trump Cheers His Own Epic Press-Conference Rant Against The Media!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
President Trump took a victory lap Friday morning, boasting about the kudos he received following his meandering press conference the day before…
Many critics noted how bizarre the 75-minute-long presser was, but conservative talker Limbaugh cheered the Republican president.
“Many Critics” screech no matter what he does.
But other members of the media were not as flattering about the presser,…
Yeah, the butthurt was epic.
The other look. Sorry media, this press conference played very differently with Trump’s supporters. (Do tell)
The president proved once again that he is the greatest show on Earth. Lions and tigers and elephants are kid stuff next to his high wire act.
Next time, the White House ought to sell popcorn.
If Trump started selling popcorn the deficit would be gone by June.
Trump’s detractors immediately panned the show as madness, but they missed the method behind it and proved they still don’t understand his appeal. Facing his first crisis in the Oval Office, he was unbowed in demonstrating his bare-knuckle intention to fight back…
In front of cameras, and using the assembled press corps as props, he conducted a televised revival meeting to remind his supporters that he is still the man they elected. Ticking off a lengthy list of executive orders and other actions he has taken, he displayed serious fealty to his campaign promises.
And they just cannot fucking understand that last bit. He’s actually doing what he promised the rubes!?!?!?!?!?! Doesn’t he know that’s not how things are done?
Shep, of course, is fresh off calling Trump a liar because he talked about illegal aliens voting, as you’d know if you read this blog. I ain’t looking for it.
“It is crazy what we are watching every day, it is absolutely crazy,” Smith said. “He keeps repeating ridiculous throwaway lines that are not true at all and sort of avoiding this issue of Russia as if we are some kind of fools for asking the question.”
European Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker, claims that Brexit negotiations with the EU will be complex and take longer than the allotted two years.
Speaking on the sidelines at the international Munich Security Conference Junker added that Britain does not have the right to forge bilateral trade deals while still a member of the EU.
Keeping a Brexit-like scenario in mind, commission wants the voting rights for migrants and refugees at par with German citizens in any future referendum.
I just don’t think they’re thinking that through. Sure their serfs are revolting, but do they really want to replace them with more splodey ones?
Palestine is many things. A Roman name and a Cold War lie. Mostly it’s a justification for killing Jews.
Succinct and accurate. Perfect.
What we think of as “Palestinian” terrorism was a low-level conflict pursued by the Arab Socialist states in between their invasions of Israel. After several lost wars, the terrorism was all that remained. Egypt, Syria and the USSR threw in the towel on actually destroying Israel with tanks and jets, but funding terrorism was cheap and low-risk. And the rewards were disproportionate to the cost.
For less than the price of a single jet fighter, Islamic terrorists could strike deep inside Israel while isolating the Jewish State internationally with demands for “negotiations” and “statehood.”
I just wish we had a competent, less-hatey media so that would discussed instead of just blatantly obvious. Of course, in EUnuchstan, saying stuff far more milquetoast will get you a hate-crimes trial, so it’s hard to talk about.
I’m so old I remember when the Dalai Lama was universally loved on college campuses!
Students at the University of California, San Diego are protesting an upcoming visit by the Dalai Lama – claiming the Tibetan leader is “oppressive”.
Seriously? Who’s he oppressing?
Chinese students are leading objections to the event,
Oh right, totally tolerant and peaceful murderous commies feel oppressed when people talk about their murderousness and commieness.
Send them back to fucking China. I hate apparatchiks for murderous commies taking advantage of our freedoms to try to deny it for others.
And who can forget Obama letting the Dalai Lama know what Obama’s murderously commie friends think of him.
To spit on that guy for murderous commies just makes me sick.
Look at the smile. He has all the class Obama doesn’t and more.
Wait, that’s another old one. HERE’S THE RIGHT ONE FROM TODAY!!!!!!
Shoot, wrong one. Here’s the right link. Geez, there sure are a lot of WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!! predictions from Gorequemada. Are we dead yet? Because I thought Hell would be less funny.
I love this line.
But it was science – not politics – that carried the day.
No really, they were talking about global warmmongering when they wrote that. I can’t even keep a straight face just cuttin’ n’ pastin’, I don’t think I’d be able to actually write that.
In the climate and health meeting held at The Carter Center, Gore steered clear of mentioning Trump. Instead, he stressed that climate changes could render parts of the Middle East – including some of the holiest cities on the planet – uninhabitable. It could also cause deadly health problems and reduce life expectancy. Those in poverty will be hardest hit, he said.
Fakenewswers refuse to ask him about his earlier, stupid, predictions and yet, we’re supposed to trust him and them because The Science!!!!!! Is Settled!!!!!!!!
Why didn’t Jets fans think of this?

California got $34 billion of stimulizing money that apparently didn’t go to the dam they’ve known for more than a decade was in danger.
Despite more than a decade of warnings about Oroville, there is no public record of the country’s tallest dam receiving any of the more than $34 billion from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act sent to California for infrastructure projects.
I absolutely love this bit
The California Department of Water Resources denied that it had failed to heed concerns about the emergency spillway.
“We have a very rigorous schedule of inspections that is determined by state and federal regulators,” said spokesman Eric See. “We actually do those inspections annually.”
So what you’re saying is that even though you inspected this dam and checked all the right boxes, it’s falling apart?!?!?!!? That can’t be!
Bureaucrats checking boxes is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical bureaucratic ceremony!
So what did they spend that infrastructure money on?
Thompson lauded numerous stimulus projects, which included $2.2 million for “more attractive” sidewalks and $2.5 million for a 205-acre “zero net energy” community on the University of California Davis campus to put a greater “emphasis on walking” and bicycling.
“zero net energy” means, “No modern infrastructure”, which is very Californian. They took infrastructure stimulizing money to create a place with no infrastructure while ignoring the dam that’s GONNA KILL THEM ALL!.
That’s dam funny. And dam endy as well. Glad I don’t live downstream.
This next link should have been first, but then the headline wouldn’t have made any sense. This is fucking outrageous.
By now many of you know that Mike Strickland, a pro-gun, free lance journalist was convicted of 21 counts of self defense on Friday, Feb.10.
Strickland had been attacked by a mob in Portland while covering a “Black Lives Matter” protest. The attack was planned and coordinated in advance.
They went after this guy because in peaceful, tolerant Oregon you cannot go against the tolerance and love of lefties or they’ll fucking beat you into a coma or throw you in jail in a fully justified twisting of laws.
I’d excerpt more of it but it needs to be read in full. The scope of the railroading of this guy is breathtaking.
And the worst part? You know the majority of voters in that bastion of peace, love, inclusion and tolerance would be just happy to see this nazi get putsched.
So a few months ago Yellen was talking about negative interest rates, but that’s when she needed to keep interest rates down so it wasn’t so obvious how screwed we are over debt. Now, she needs to get a president impeached so here we are, watching our fine betters trying so hard to make him unpopular.
The financial world has been put on notice by the US central bank to get ready for interest rate rises, but there is still no word on when…
Yellen did warn about delaying rate hikes: “Waiting too long to remove accommodation would be unwise.
I hate the We’re Better And Smarter Than You Party.
Ann Coulter occasionally goes over the top, but she also is usually spot on.
What have congressional Republicans been doing? Scrapbooking?
More than 90 percent of congressional Republicans kept their jobs after the 2016 election, so you can cross “staffing an entire branch of government” off the list….
The House passed six Obamacare repeals when Obama was president and there was no chance of them being signed into law.
Yup.
To the delight of the media, these frightened little lambs are appalled by nearly everything Trump does…
Way, way back, 15 long months ago, congressional Republicans didn’t have a problem with a total ban on Syrian and Iraqi refugees. Not for a mere three months like Trump’s order — but permanently…
That bill passed the House with an overwhelming, veto-proof majority, including 47 Democrats. Then it went to the Senate to die.
The establishment pricks of the GOP are not taking their comeuppance well.
Massie’s measure consists of only one sentence: “The Department of Education Shall Terminate on December 31, 2018.” He introduced it at the very same time U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos was confirmed by the Senate.
Republican-backed legislation to eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is definitely one of the shortest bills Congress has dealt with in a while.
“The Environmental Protection Agency shall terminate on December 31, 2018” is all the bill says regarding EPA’s elimination. The bill’s preamble has more words than its legislative language.
The Democrat Party really, really is dwindling away before our eyes. But don’t misunderstand me. It’s precisely because of this that the unelected Democrat Party, which is embedded in our nation’s bureaucracy, has taken over the role of the opposition party. And by that I mean all of the Obama appointees in the intelligence community. All of the Obama and Clinton appointees at the departments of justice, departments of state and the defense department, they are all there, and they are working to sabotage the administration of Donald Trump from within. They are doing this with the aid and cooperation of the media. (Don’t forget the GOP pricks like McCain! V)
Putting Teh Peepul in their place (at the feet of our fine moral, social, intellectual and political betters).
Speaking of putting Teh Peepul in their place, Orange Coast Community College slays me. We’ve all seen the story about the kid who recorded his unhinged prof unhingedly attacking Trump ‘forcing’ the school to suspend him. What cracks me up is what he has to do to be readmitted to this fine institution.
To be allowed back in school, the letter says, O’Neil’s essay is to be three pages and double-spaced and must discuss why he videotaped the professor. Also, the essay is to cover his “thoughts and analysis” on why he decided to share the videos, what he thought would happen to Cox and “the impact of the video going ‘viral’ and the ensuing damage to Orange Coast College students, faculty and staff.”
Gee, it’s not as if he’s going to be able to go to another community college! I mean, there are so few of them!
He should write three pages, quadruple-spaced, and discuss how the admin in that community college are bunch of fascist assholes and thank them for letting him know he needed to go to another community college. Preferably in a different state.
A Facebook chatbot is offering hapless men the words to charm any feisty feminist without causing offence.
No really, why?
The worst part is that something that could avoid causing offence to a feminist must be some powerful fucking software and they’re wasting it on talking to feminists.
It’s worse when you realize stuff like that before you die.
Let’s Tube!
I have a word of advice for Romanians who’ve been protesting their corrupt, Obama-style gov’t.
Romania’s parliament on Monday unanimously endorsed a presidential proposal for a nationwide referendum to get public support for the fight against corruption.
Keep watching them, right now they’re just trying to get you to shut up and go back to ignoring them. Don’t fall for it!
There is no time-frame yet and MPs’ backing for the plan is not binding.
But it does send a strong message…
See? This is the “Throwing fish at you to get you to clap your fins and honk your squeezy bulbs” phase. Keep reminding them about the “Decorating lamp post” phase.
In EUnuchstan, they don’t have freedom of spe… well, freedom of style of guess.
A Hitler lookalike has been arrested in Austria on charges of glorifying the Nazi era, local officials say.
The 25-year-old man reportedly calls himself Harald Hitler.
The man, sporting a side parting and a trademark moustache, had been seen having his photograph taken outside the house in Braunau am Inn in which Adolf Hitler was born.
He was arrested for dressing like Hitler, nothing more. I’m all for laws against murderous ideologies acting murderously ideological, but shouldn’t those laws require actual actions? I mean, I know why they have the laws, they don’t trust their serfs. That doesn’t mean I like it.
Federal immigration officials arrested more than 600 people across at least 11 states last week, detaining 40 people in the New York City area, law enforcement officials said on Sunday.
It remained unclear whether the actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were part of continuing operations to round up undocumented immigrants with criminal convictions or a ramping-up of deportations by the Trump administration.
Wait, you mean they didn’t tell you?
President Trump proclaimed on Twitter early Sunday morning: “The crackdown on illegal criminals is merely the keeping of my campaign promise. Gang members, drug dealers & others are being removed!”
But Gillian Christensen, acting press secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, said, “The focus of these targeted enforcement operations is consistent with the routine, targeted arrests carried out by ICE’s Fugitive Operations Teams on a daily basis.”
That “But” in there in the second paragraph is not needed, unless you want to follow up with some lies to obfuscate the issue.
The contradiction heightened an already swelling fear among immigrants and their advocates.
Oh right.
Now remember this paragraph as you read what the Daily Mail reports.
“All these people are in violation of some sort of immigration law,” the official said, adding that some of their convictionsincluded rape and aggravated assault.
Federal immigration officials are laying out a range of crimes that have been committed by a undocumented immigrants snatched up in immigration raids around the country over the last week.
This included those ‘convicted of crimes including, but not limited to, homicide, aggravated sexual abuse, sexual assault of a minor, lewd and lascivious acts with a child, indecent liberties with a minor, drug trafficking, battery, assault, DUI and weapons charges,’ according to the statement.
That doesn’t sound like “some” to me.
Remember, we have to learn bad news for Dem constituencies in furrin papers.
American papers are defending foreigners and foreign papers report on what’s going on. Aristophanes Approved!\
One of my favorite smells is working on showing that Hate-Crimes folks smell bad.
So I Documented A Hate Crime Incident Today…
I was inspired by this CBC article; Website to keep tabs on incidents involving hate in Alberta
I was so motivated I went straight to the STOPHATEAB.CA web site and filed my complaint.
I complained about an Anti-Ahmadi sect hate screed that the Muslims in Calgary web site has had published since at least 2016. I covered this hate screed last year and you can read about it here.
The hate screed states that the Ahmadi are apostates who spread filth and are allied with Israel. That’s pretty much a death sentence in Islam.
I expect the response to say, ‘Stop being so hatey! We go after right wing hate!” or something semantically equivalent but obfuscatory.
The media luminaries have gone crazy after four journalists asked a series of legitimate questions about major international issues like immigration, national security, and trade policy of President Donald Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at a joint press conference on Monday.
Media figures are furious that the journalists asked about real issues affecting people in both countries—the United States and Canada—rather than parroting the same anti-Trump narrative about National Security Adviser Gen. Michael Flynn that the media have been pushing all weekend.
There are two reasons the media is freaking out over Trump taking questions from non-important news outlets. The first is They’re Important and this makes them feel less important. The other is that the new folks don’t know which questions they’re supposed to ask to further The Narrative!. That pisses them off.
I’m not sure what to think about Flynn. On the one hand, I have no idea what’s going on (at least I admit it, Minitrue just makes up the worst interpretation), on the other hand this gives Minitrue a stick to beat Trump with. On the gripping hand, the Trump 2020 reelection committee is in full swing so they’ll overplay their OUTRAGE!!!! on this. (Megyn Kelly must be freaking out that she can’t get her OUTRAGE!!!!!!! on for a while)
Did Kylie Jenner Get A Boob Job? Why Am I Being Paid To Write About This Shite?
The reason you’re being paid to do that is because that’s what the news media is all about anymore, you lie to elect Dems or you do click-bait articles with “boob” and “sex” in the headline.
But the important part is that the story actually shows us the MO of the news media very succinctly. The quoted bits are from his editor telling him how to write a hard-news article.
“The last thing we want is readers to think we have an opinion, we’ve got to disguise that with suggestive yet subtle language, but don’t make it obvious. We’re judging her for having the boob job, but we don’t want our readers to realise that, we’ve got to stay on the fence about these things and invite them to judge instead”. Well, fucking fair play for stating the obvious Siobhan. Last thing we’d want is our readers thinking is that we only publish this shit pretending there’s a ‘controversial this or that’, just to get them nice and annoyed.
“Frame it so that the speculation about the boob job comes from another publication, copy and paste if needed. Or if you can’t get that just use some randomers tweets on Twitter”. Loud and clear Siobhan. Plenty of random tweets out there. Should be easy.
The subject doesn’t matter, our fine media betters do the same thing with every story. They start out with the conclusion then change the facts to fit The Narrative!. It’s what they do.
Under the plan, the commerce secretary would designate the practice of currency manipulation as an unfair subsidy when employed by any country, instead of singling out China, said people briefed on or involved in formulating the policy. U.S. companies would then be in a position to bring antisubsidy actions themselves to the U.S. Commerce Department against China or other countries.
Isn’t that pretty much what we’ve been doing too? Keeping interest rates down and constantly printing more money so we can afford to pay off the huge debt Obama and the GOP ran up.
For the past three weeks, Democratic protesters have swarmed Republican town hall events across the country, booing, shouting down and trying to embarrass GOP lawmakers seeking to gut ObamaCare.
In the coming weeks, grassroots conservatives will be fighting back.
FreedomWorks, the Tea Party-aligned outside group, beginning next month will be organizing rallies and urging its nearly 6 million activists to turn out at town hall events to ensure members of Congress are also getting an earful from ObamaCare detractors.
Those totally peaceful lefty rioters are not known to take dissent very peacefully and I think the used-to-be really peaceful Tea Party types are all outta cheeks to turn.
There are a bunch of chucklers today, some on purpose, some not.
In another sweeping move aimed at undoing the perceived damage done by the Obama administration, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday directing the Department of Justice to revoke all sixteen Thanksgiving Day turkey pardons issued by the former president during his eight years in office.
…“This morning, the president once again used his executive powers to see to it that justice is served and that the surviving creatures will be destroyed.”
Man do I wish Trump would do that. The freaking out by the media as America is rolling around on the floor laughing would be all about teh awesome.
Back in the 80s, Times Square was not a very safe place. It was full of drug dealers, hookers, sidewalk hustlers and the businesses were mostly sex shops with peep shows. At 20 years old, my friend and I were mugged there, just standing on the sidewalk waiting for another friend.
Then, Benito Guiliani showed you can tame the city and Times Square became all Disneyfied, the low-lifes moved off a few blocks, it actually caused a sort of, hooker-inspired gentrification in Hell’s Kitchen. The class of low-life there skyrocketed.
First I’d like to ask a question, are Colts really three times better than S&W? I’ve never fired a Colt revolver but I really like S&W. I just don’t see how a used, stainless .44mag is $700 when it’s S&W but $1,500-$2500 when it’s Colt.
S&W is about $100+/- more than Ruger and I think that’s about right.
Is it just because they don’t make them anymore? Because I’ll tell you, unless the Colt comes with a happier ending than a S&W, I just can’t see it being worth that much more.
I wishfully hoped that they wouldn’t use all the terrorist-catching laws that were ONLY GOING TO BE USED TO CATCH TERRORISTS!!!!!!! on people who aren’t terrorists.
Law enforcement wants to charge a Perry County man with committing terrorist activity after he stole 911 communications equipment.
Frank Thomas Aldridge is in custody after breaking into a 911 communications building back on Dec. 9, 2016.
Aldridge found out he couldn’t resell the equipment he stole, so he threw it in a nearby creek.
I know, when I wishfully think I make an ass out of me and me. Especially when I wishfully think that gov’t folks won’t get all mission creepy.
Leading French Presidential Candidate Emmanuel Macron has invited the entire US climate science community to relocate to France.
Thank you French socialist dude, I sincerely hope they take you up on your offer.
Romanians are wishing for a non-corrupt gov’t and thinking that they’re gonna have to stay serious to get it. They’ve been protesting for about 2 weeks over
The decree, decriminalised the abuse of office in cases where the damages were less than 200,000 leu (about 43,200 euros) and was coupled with a mass pardon for non-violent convicts serving short jail terms.
What that means is that if a politician takes a bribe for less than about $50k, no harm no foul. And pols in jail would be let out.
Obviously, their gov’t is pretty similar to ours.
Despite the outrage over the proposed changes to the criminal code. the government is refusing to quit. It insists the public has misunderstood its reform bid
Yeah, we get that shit here too.
I wish them luck. Romanian pols might want to review history, Europeans do not get a Trump, they get a Hitler or a Ceausescu and light poles start to get decorated.
A French street artist was severely beaten up in Paris after refusing to remove a work of art calling for coexistence between Islam, Judaism and Christianity.
When I mention the stupidity of those COEXIST signs, I’m called a hater, if you click you will see that the French media tried to obfuscate the issue, but it’s unobfuscatable. He should have stuck with the traditional form.
Political action committees that fundraised for President Barrack Obama during the 2012 presidential election, bused protesters to Republican town hall events nationwide earlier in February, according to a Sunday report from The Washington Post.
It makes it funnier that the Wash Post are the fakenewsers praising the TOTALLY GRASSROOTS!!!!!! group while they also noticed that Obama was busing in those totally grassroots protestors.
Back to the original fakenews, so long as you think the Tea Party a top-down, paid for, astro-turfed group of rioters willing to travel around the country to get their violence and stupidity on then they’re spot on. Which is what they thought the tea party was.
What I can’t figure out is whether or not Canada gets any US TV channels.
U.S. border guards would get new powers to question, search and even detain Canadian citizens on Canadian soil under a bill proposed by the Liberal government.
As we’re trying to limit the power of the feds here the Canadians are giving our feds more power!?!?!?!
Don’t encourage them you idiots! It’s only going to make our job here more difficult! Idjits.
While the men prayed, she (Ontario premier Kathleen Wynne V) sat patiently in the back corner of the mosque waiting to say the words many in the room were so thankful to hear.
The words they were so thankful to hear? “We will adhere to the tenets of your religion.” Actually, she said something else, but you know what they heard.
She sat in a corner in the back of the mosque while the men fucking prayed and she didn’t fucking leave. She didn’t seem to even realize they were making sure she knew her place.
As we watch California flooding caused by corrupt, CA pols… global worming, let’s focus on what’s important.
Frankly, I don't care who California blames for the problems it created by electing a Democrat supermajority. I'm just laughing at it.
In an impassioned plea, Mr Cook, boss of the world’s largest company (CEO of Apple V), says that the epidemic of false reports “is a big problem in a lot of the world” and necessitates a crackdown by the authorities and technology firms.
It just keeps staying stupid out there. Whodathunk we’d go from the Funniest End of Civilization Ever to the Stupidest End of Civilization Ever so quickly?
A week after Houston celebrated hosting Super Bowl LI, the NFL says the state’s proposed transgender bathroom bill could affect whether Texas gets to do so again.
In its first statement since Senate Bill 6 was filed in January, the NFL has warned it will take into account the civil rights law of states before it chooses future event locations.
They refuse to allow me just to enjoy their game.
This is just cruel
He asked HS kids ditching school why they were protesting. They weren’t really sure but really, did anybody expect anything different? They’re against going to school and for ditching school.
I’ve been wanting to ask this question, how is Jesse Watters different from Stuttering John? O’Reilly sends Watters out to ambush people with questions they don’t want to answer, that’s exactly how Howard used Stuttering John. Although….I don’t think Jesse Watters has ever asked Ted Williams if he farted in a catcher’s face.
Chadwick Moore, a 33-year-old journalist who lives in Williamsburg, had been a lifelong liberal. Then, last September, he penned a profile for Out magazine of Milo Yiannopoulos — a controversial alt-right extremist who is an outspoken critic of feminism, Muslims and gay rights (despite being openly gay himself). Although the Out story didn’t take a positive stance — or any stance — on Yiannopoulos, Moore found himself pilloried by fellow Democrats and ostracized by longtime friends.
Here, he tells Michael Kaplan his story — including why the backlash drove him to the right.
Dude’s in for a rough time. This is the de rigueur quote
I realized that, for the first time in my adult life, I was outside of the liberal bubble and looking in. What I saw was ugly, lock step, incurious and mean-spirited.
I’ve known a bunch of lefties, gay or not, who saw the same thing except they went back in. When we’re talking alone they’ll tell me that they’re afraid to go against their friends. They expect sympathy from me, they get confusion. How can you refuse to think for yourself?
Little bit of naivety
I hope to find out that it pays to keep an open mind.
And I hope that New Yorkers can be as open-minded and accepting of my new status as a conservative man as they’ve been about my sexual orientation.
Hope in one hand, jerk off in the other. See which hands gets sticky first.
Comedian Dave Chappelle has been prepping for his November 12 hosting slot on Saturday Night Live …
He was particularly agitated about what he believes was Clinton’s role in leaking a surreptitiously recorded conversation between Republican nominee Donald J. Trump and TV personality Billy Bush. “What I heard on that tape was gross,” Chappelle said. “But the way I got to hear it was even more gross. You know that came directly from Hillary.” He stated this had put him off a candidate he had already known was “not right.” He likened voting for her to a hypothetical situation of actress Halle Berry breaking wind in his face during sexual relations. “I’m still going to go for it,” he said. “But I wish she hadn’t done that thing.”
He notices one of the fake news things that all right (left) thinking people know to ignore.
Chappelle further shocked the New York crowd by defending Trump. He took issue with the media stating as fact that Trump had admitted committing sexual assault in the recorded conversation. “Sexual assault? It wasn’t. He said, ‘And when you’re a star, they let you do it.’ That phrase implies consent. I just don’t like the way the media twisted that whole thing. Nobody questioned it.”
Yeah see, maybe nobody you know questioned it, but that doesn’t mean nobody questioned it.
Good luck with the whole, losing all your friends, thing though.
Hungary does not want those refugees. Headline and subhed
Bounty hunters chasing immigrants on horses, a 110-mile razor fence and bans on new mosques: ANDREW MALONE reports from the EU country whose brutal crackdown on Muslim migrants makes Trump look liberal
Laszlo Toroczkai, 47, and his bounty hunters have caught hundreds of migrants
He is mayor of Asotthalom, Hungary, a small town that borders Serbia
During the refugee crisis, thousands poured in across the unprotected border
Apparently, they have some experience with Muslim invasions
It is a debate in which Hungary is utterly uncompromising. To understand why, one must understand how Hungary’s bitter opposition to Muslims, stretching back centuries to the invasion and occupation by Ottoman Muslim rulers for 150 years until 1699.
Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orban has offered to open up his country to refugees – but only those seeking sanctuary from the liberal policies of western Europe….
“Of course we can give shelter to the real refugees: Germans, Dutch, French, Italians; scared politicians and journalists; Christians who had to flee their own country; those people who want to find here the Europe that they lost at their home,” he noted to applause.
Okay, that’s funny until you realize it’s not funny at all.
Tsar Putin I and Sultan Erdogan are playing Risk and it’s going swimmingly.
Intense fighting continues in and around al-Bab, a town of 100,000 people in northern Syria, with the Free Syrian Army forces supported by the Turks entering from the north, while Syrian regime forces enter from the south…
Syria is now split into areas controlled by one of four factions; ISIL, the Syrian government, the Free Syrian army, and the Kurds. Al-Bab is special because it is the only place in Syria where all four have significant forces in close proximity.
I’m sure that’s going to work out well. The Free Syrian Army forces are a hodgepodge of murderous terrorist groups that form, split and reform with explosive regularity, each splinter group hates everybody not of their splinter group. The Kurds are hated and hate all the rest, the Syrian gov’t forces hate the rest and ISIS, of course, hates everybody not a believer in their murderous interpretation of Islam. Some of the Free Syrian Army folks were formerly part of ISIS, and probably will be again. Getting into a war in Syria is even more stupider than being in a land war in Asia.
I’ve been wondering if this is going to get Russia and Turkey in a war, more hoping actually.
Turkish military tanks were spotted supporting the Sultan Murad Brigade in clashes with forces loyal to the Assad regime in the village of Um Al-Zindin, Syria, south of the Islamic State-held al-Bab
These are peoples who’ve hated each other for thousands of years, adding in differing, murderous ideologies has just given them another reason to kill each other so no matter what the end game is going to be murderously confused.
Catalonia has another referendum on independence from Spain this year and Spain is acting all upset.
I have to wonder if all these referendums are failure theater or if they’re actually trying to accomplish it.
If Catalonia gets independent, can Basque independence be far behind? Will we see a Basque/Catalonian nation formed between Spain and France? Maybe two, smaller countries? Will we see a three sided civil war? Should be funnier than their last civil war, fewer Nazis.
Remember that fashion designer from the other day? I found some even more ridiculous looking outfits for guys!
