It’s weird out there, usually I can spot a theme each day but today I can’t, not sure if it’s me or if it’s just that things are so all over the place.
Let’s start with You Will Be Made To Care!
Here we have NJ xesplaining to teens.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie signed legislation Friday requiring the state to give guidance to public schools about policies for transgender students, including blocking the schools from forcing the students from using bathrooms that conflict with their gender identities.
I’m sure HS students are mature enough to treat this with the respect and decorum it deserves.
I look forward to Dress Thursday where the football players all wear dresses to use the girl’s bathroom and locker room every Thursday and it will be a hate-crime if anybody tries to stop them.
I’m surprised that’s in NJ, sure they’re solidly Democrat but I figured that was more a corruption thing than a lefty thing. It’s funny that the GOP governor signed that into law. He’s a perfect northeast Republican in the mold of Susan Collins (R-Maine) and John McCain (R-DC).
Which reinforces Harvey’s point that we’re the RINOs, not them.
I think I’m actually the RINO.
I say that because I’m finding more and more that the Republicans aren’t the conservatives. Being a conservative and aligning yourself with a Republican doesn’t make Republicans conservative. It just means you’re aligning with the least liberal, least horrible of the viable options.
I don’t really want to take up the label “RINO” because of what it has represented. But, the reality is, the Republican Party isn’t a bunch of conservatives. But, a bunch of conservatives vote for the Republicans.
Yup.
I’m not surprised about Minnesota though.
A recently approved Minnesota Department of Education “toolkit” instructs schools to isolate students who are concerned about sharing bathrooms and locker rooms with transgender students.
Room 101 For You!
I will say I’d bet that makes a lot of students see exactly how morally and intellectually bankrupt lefties are when they’re forced to believe what their betters demand.
I used to tutor HS kids in math because AZ students had to pass the AIMS test. It was HS math, heavy on algebra and geometry.
They canceled it because so many kids could not graduate HS because they couldn’t pass it. It was depressing trying to teach kids how to do math when they used their fingers to add 5 to 17 and a calculator to multiply 10*7.
In today’s exciting episode, CA has gone AZ one better.
The chancellor of the California community college system has stated that institutions’ algebra requirements are “the biggest barrier” for “underemployed or unemployed Americans,” and as such is … a civil rights issue.
So you can have a college degree without algebra. Sigh. I’m sure that’ll make people happy to hire CA graduates.
It’s not a civil rights issue, it’s a community issue. Too many communities in our nation do not prize education. It’s absolutely not a “discrimination” deal or else Jewish people would have the same problems.
This is the shit that will get Trump’s supporters pissed off.
First, we have the State Dept derping.
Officials in the Trump administration’s State Department are standing by a recent report criticized by Congress that blamed Israel for terror attacks and claimed Palestinians rarely incite violence, telling the Washington Free Beacon that it remains unclear why terrorists engage in violent acts.
Trump and Tillerson should have slapped that shit down publicly, loudly and rudely. But they didn’t.
There’s a petition at the White House calling for an end to the gov’t stealing property from people not convicted of a crime.
If the media really wanted to Get Trump they’d hit him for shit like that, but they don’t understand how anybody could be upset about being evenhanded between murderous terrorists and a liberal democracy or against the gov’t Taking Money From Criminals (who haven’t been convicted of a crime) so they’re busy lying about him.
Here we see believing lefty fantasies has immediate consequences.
The meltdown in Venezuela’s currency is deepening as a crippling dollar shortage and a threat of oil sanctions take their toll on the economy. The black-market rate for the bolivar traded weaker than 8,700 per dollar for the first time, according to dolartoday.com on Friday, compared with the official rate of around 10 and a more widely used alternative rate of 2,757.
What does that mean for investors?
That’s creating an illusion for foreigners observing the country’s stock market, which appears to be valued at $2.57 trillion — bigger than Germany’s, France’s, India’s or Canada’s — but is worth only $3 billion based on the black-market rate.
Like China, if you believe the official numbers you will be boned.

That’s about perfect.

EU Indecision Worsens Italy’s Migrant Crisis
There’s a difference between “indecision” and “slowrolling because you want the current system to stay in place.”
But we’ve been told that Muslim women would choose the Islamic body sack for women!!!! For Freedom!!!!!
Women burn burqas and men shave beards to celebrate liberation from Isis in Syria
It’s funny how often that’s the first thing women do when freed from subjugation. Although forcing the women to shave their beards is a little far.
I was into Spicer at first but the questions go so ridiculous that the press conferences got very boring so I won’t miss him much. I will miss Sean Spicier.
He notices reality in the funniest way.
Faceblock can’t be assed to stop people calling for death to Trump and Republicans or ISIS but attack a preferred group and you’re gone.
You just can’t make this stuff up, Muslim banned from Islamophobia in a flagging campaign by radical Muslims who think he is the wrong kind of Muslim.
Mudderpockers.
I’d say this says more about the voters
She isn’t “in charge” of that district, that’t the local govt’s job. Who the same people keep electing.
In other words, they vote for people who leave their district looking like that and they also vote for Sheila Jackson Lee. That’s on them.
While I dislike these assholes I don’t blame NY pols for being blatantly corrupt and useless, I don’t blame John McCain for being McCain, I didn’t blame Reid for being so despicable, I blame the people who vote for them.

I didn’t realize Hitler was a color.
Up twinkles?
Once again I get mad at lefties for ruining a perfectly good joke. If I had done that it would have been funn…wait, it’s funnier that it’s serious!
Nevermind.
See? It was all over place and it just sorta stopped instead of ending.
Not sure if it’s me or the world.
I blame…..uhhhh…… me!
I know, that’s so 19th century.
… Modern Educayshun … whatcha gonna do…
Sheila Jackson Lee was a council member in Houston before her election to congress… “Houston is considered to be a politically divided city whose balance of power often sways between Republicans and Democrats. The city has elected (as of 2017) Democratic mayors since 1982 but the city council has been much more divided. The affluent western-central portions of Houston—such as River Oaks and the Memorial/Spring Branch area, as well as master planned communities of Kingwood and Clear Lake City—consistently vote Republican, while many of the inner city areas, Neartown, and Alief—are heavily Democratic.”
i guess that’s why Trump asked “what have you got to lose”
See, their pols know they are in ‘safe’ seats so they can crap on their voters with impunity.
I’ve been thinking along the same lines on the concept of the “RINO”. Almost everywhere I look, it’s all GOPV(ichy); where’s the conservative equivalent of the Free French garrison at Brazzaville?
Hopefully we’ll find out during primary season.
Then…. Vichyssois for everyone!
Make sure the Vichy is diced small.
And sent back to K Street where they belong.
