The best Cat Vid you’ll see here that’s copied from Ace.
This post was started years ago, but finished this morning. It’s about whether we were really in the Funniest End of Civilization Ever, back when it was funnier and before it ended.
I wrote most of the below when I was reading or just got done reading Herodotus and Xenophon, now I’m reading The Jewish Wars by Josephus. It’s pretty cool. It’s a guy born in 37 AD I think, talking about the years leading up to the Diaspora, he was a leader during the rebellion against Rome that ended with Masada but changed sides.
So much of our problems today stem from hubris. Like global warmmongering, the idea that since we’ve industrialized no more than 5% of the planet and probably far less, we’re going to KILL US ALL!!!!!!
Which has made me wonder if many of us are suffering from it. I mean, maybe we’re not really in the Funniest End of Civilization Ever! but merely one of the funnier ones and perhaps our civilization isn’t the most ridiculous.
That last sentence didn’t hold up, that was before it was a crime against humanity to deny that a man could give birth or that women formerly known as Fred could dominate women’s sports or President Joe Biden and Vice President…. you know, the thing.
Trump is apparently still trying to work with the GOP. I’m not sure why. Here he is trying to defend the latest Continuing Spending Resolution but this time everybody’s calling it a budget. Which is funny cuz when they did it instead of a budget it wasn’t one but now that’s it’s actually a continuing spending resolution that you need when you don’t have a budget they’re pretending it’s a budget.
The White House is pushing the new spending bill as a win for Republicans after gloating from Democrats over major concessions got under the president’s skin.
He’s trying to give them cover, he’s hurting himself trying to put lipstick on that pig. Notice the editorializing, ‘got under his skin’ stated definitively. Should have read, ‘…skin I’d say.’ but then, it’s required to bash Trump in every first paragraph. It’s right there in the new AP style guide. The one with all the rules on the Prophet Mohamed (PBUH).
Congressional leaders reached an agreement Sunday night on a budget that would keep the government open through September and avoid a looming shutdown. Because the bill includes funding for Planned Parenthood, money to help Puerto Rico with a projected shortfall in Medicaid and restricts the allotted $1.5 billion for border security from going to the new wall, Democrats began touting it as a win.
Because it was. The GOP is afraid they’ll be blamed for shutting down the gov’t.
A rebuttal
They’d be credited with shutting down the gov’t. Did they learn nothing from the last election? I know I keep asking that, but really.
White House Budget Director Says Stupidest Thing I’ve Read In The Last 45 Seconds! And That’s Saying Something! (wait until you get there. You’ll know)
He said the Democrats’ claims that they got additional money for Puerto Rico is also false.
“Not a penny of it is new money. All of that money was already spent. That money was sitting there unspent, and all we did was agree to let them move it from one place to another.
See, it was just sitting there, probably right next to the Social Security Lockbox!!!!!!. It wasn’t spent yet, but it was budgeted! So if it wasn’t spent on that, it would have been spent on something! No, not paying down the debt. Shut up.
“What they really didn’t get is this: they wanted a shutdown. We know that.
You should have given them what they (and we) want.
A reporter pointed out that a compromise between Republicans and Democrats is what the American people want to see.
Yeah, no. We want bi-partisanship (capitulation to lefties) to stop.
I realize that our fine journolister betters have repressed that memory, but I know Trump was paying attention to the last election. Geez.
Not me. It can’t be any worse than I expect. Are they funding buses from the Sonoran desert to Apache Junction? If not, then it can’t be even as bad as I expect. If you still have faith in the GOP, you might want to read that article.
Or not. I can respect denial.
The source of the dossier that proved Trump was a Russian dupe was planted by… The Russians!
The FBI, CIA, NSA, EPA, NOAA, NASA, DEA and even the Coast Guard probably knew that but they were on a mission to Get Trump. Because we’re too stupid to be trusted to vote.
Totes unrelated
Comey: Oct 27, metadata showed there was 1000s of Clinton emails on Weiner device, including maybe her missing emails.
They’re getting the votes together to pass the Obamacare Repeal!!
Both Upton (not Kate but a Centrist!!!, V) and Long (nother centrist!!!!) dealt a setback to the healthcare measure earlier this week, when they came out against it because they saidit failed to protect people with pre-existing conditions.The new amendment from Upton would provide $8 billion over five years to help people with pre-existing conditions afford their premiums in states that are granted a waiver from ObamaCare’s protections.
Oh. So it’s not really a repeal so much as a fix.
So in “Reality!!!” v reality, “Reality!!!” is winning in Congress, not so much in real life.
Tens of thousands of Iowans could be left with no health insurance options next year, after the last carrier for most of the state announced Wednesday that it likely would stop selling individual health policies here.
They’re going to have to spend the next 50 years trying to fix it or else they’re going to just go to Free Healthcare!!!!! ala Cuba.
I (Rachel Maddow V) had this conversation with him (Trump V) .. I’d sort of said he had good chances against his Republican primary opponents and we kind of dished dirt on all the things he thought was wrong with all his Republican primary opponents.”
The interview, however, never happened. Trump suggested that Maddow could just use the phone call they had, even though it was not recorded…
It’s a dangerous time for the first amendment and the free press in this country. At the same time, we’re oddly influential with the guy who wants to kill us.”
Why aren’t they going after Lerner for perjury before Congress now that there’s, presumably, a DO”J” that would actually enforce their orders?
We all know why.
You see, even though the GOP has been acting as if they wanted to repeal Obamacare. 6 votes for repeal with close to 50 other Failure Theater/Throwing Fish votes, it was all just a lie. Cuz we’re too stupid to know what’s what and we need them to lie to us.
They talked about stopping Obama on immigration and Obamacare, they Held Hearings!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they had show-votes. They had SPEECHES!!!! and interviews on FoxNews!!!!!!!!! to let us know that they were on our side!!!! but they aren’t.
And now that they have the chance to do something about what they’ve been Holding Hearings!!!!! and show votes over they are refusing to do it.
Why? Because, you see, they know better than we. We’re just too dim to make these important decisions for ourselves.
And the fact that they have to lie to get elected? Well, that just shows how stupid we are.
We’re supposed to elect leaders to lead us! We elect them, they rule…lead us! How they do that is none of our business!
Actually demanding that they keep their campaign promises just isn’t done. Everybody knows that!
So in other words, we’re not in a democratic Republic, we’re in a Nannarchic Republic where, sure we have a Constitution and some laws and shit, but they don’t apply to the important people who are necessary to lead us!
Phrased slightly differently I’d bet that monologue has been delivered at any number of cocktail parties in DC and NYC.
We’re gonna have to have a discussion on exactly who made whom. Judging from what’s been going on, nobody’s going to like that conversation.
I mentioned MSNBC, you know what that means! The Girls(and Rachel Maddow) Of MSNBC pics below!
I’m not sure if it’s me or if the world is themeless. I keep starting with one and then having it fall apart. Oh well. See if you can guess the theme I thought I had.
In our wordcloud below is “drunken chariot racing” but the link has absolutely nothing to do with drunken, chariot or racing. Which made me think that wordcloud is judging us! As if we’re the kind of window-lickers who’d be all into drunken chariot racing so it just threw it in.
Then I realized, a good idea is a good idea so here’s part of the chariot race from The Perils of Gwendolyn.
You can’t tell from that clip, but that movie has the highest boobs/frame ratio of any movie I’ve ever seen. If you’re into that sort of thing.
So… what happened to “The First 100 Days” on Foxnews? It used to be on at 5pm here (7 east coast), but now it’s Tucker Carlson. His first 100 days are not over and that show started in January so it cannot have been 100 days. Every time I flipped over there was Martha and some, acknowledged, Dem operative bashing Trump, so I have to figure the ratings were pretty low because MSNBC and CNN are much sadder and a whole lot funnier.
In the now, apparently Trump is thinking about doing recess appointments to get around the GOP Senate to confirm his appointments.
I’m torn on that one. On the one hand, it’s fucking hilarious he has to do this to get around the slow-rolling of Republicans. On the other hand, that’s a slimy thing that we do not need to have regularized. Which leads us to the gripping hand, Czars! They do not need to be confirmed, I’m not even sure if they’re officially appointed. I think they just show up and start working.
The ‘recess appt’ thing has to be a troll. I prefer the Before! so I’d like a Czar troll.
Having the NYTimesWashPostCNNABCCBSNBCetc. start freaking out about ‘Czars avoiding confirmation are the end of the Republic!!!!!!” so Trump can comment on the 39 Obama sub-Czars wikipedia claims avoided that messy, tax-cheating-finding, confirmation process would be hilarious.
To make sense of this next link, you have to understand Trump is a recent Republican. He thinks more like a Democrat.
WELL, YES: Trump isn’t really campaigning earlier than other recent presidents. He’s just more upfront about it.
The “permanent campaign” was invented by (or maybe “for”) Bill Clinton a quarter century ago, and for better or worse it’s now a permanent part of our political landscape.
WELL, NO: Bush didn’t campaign constantly. He promoted himself, but he didn’t campaign. He was a breath of maturity in the office that Clinton and Obama did their best to ensmallen.
As for “He’s more upfront about it.”… No. The media is more upfront about attacking him for it. He’s not doing anything different from what Clinton and Obama did. Hell, he’s less upfront than Obama who traveled to fundraisers across the country all the freaking time.
While I’m yelling at Instapundit, this always bothers me. Most of the article linked is pretty accurate.
The basic division in American politics today is not over the merits of President Trump. Many of those who voted for him believed that he lacked the moral grounding and gravitas that great Presidents must ultimately draw on. The division is between those who think that before Trump, things were going just fine and the American elite was doing an excellent job, and those who blame the rise of Trump on the failures and blindness of the so-called “meritocratic elite” who, they would argue, have been running the country into the ground.
No argument from me so far. Here’s where we go off the tracks.
In foreign policy, the United States has had two failed presidencies in a row. Our grand strategy of…democratization of the Middle East would and could solve the terrorism problem—and so did their degreed and esteemed advisers and the commentariat.
We had won in Iraq. We were almost done. As anybody with a brain told Obama, he had to fucking leave some dam Marines, A-10s and Apaches there, similar to how we treated Germany. That way, ISIS would have been stain in the desert when they were first chased out of Syria in their Toyota pick-ups instead of getting stronger and taking over much of the region.
Now: Israeli soldier gets 18 months in jail for shooting a wounded, Palestinian terrorist. Palis are all upset it’s only 18 months. Apparently, helping suicide attackers suicide is verboten in their religion. You need to let them blow themselves up I guess.
Before: Palestinians have a different view on successful suicide bombers being killed as they open an exhibit of a suicide bombing from the previous month. After an outcry from people who give the PLO money, the Arafish canceled the exhibit. Yes, it was built less than a month later. Too soon?
Doesn’t really fit, but this is another in a very long series. We’re talking Days of our Lives long.
At UCLA Law School last week, a squad of student “thought police” tried to ban my book, Failing to Confront Islamic Totalitarianism: From George W. Bush to Barack Obama and Beyond. They don’t want you to know the book even exists, let alone what’s inside it. And the UCLA administration enabled them. This ominous episode underlines how students are learning to be contemptuous of intellectual freedom.
And since it’s California, they went the extra mile. It happened at
…a panel discussion at UCLA Law School on the vital importance of freedom of speech and the threats to it.
The funniest part is that this State-Sponsored, Law Fucking School does not see the irony of students learning how to be law talking folks at a gov’t-affiliated Law Fucking School stomping on speech they do not like and not being immediately and humiliatingly slapped down by either the faculty or the admin (both?) at the gov’t-run Law Fucking School. More, they think anybody who does see irony is a hating hater who hates.
Yeah, that bothers me a lot. At least some of these people are likely to be future lawyers, politicians and judges.
Our best hope is if all the different flavors of fascist assholes start killing each other before they start trying to kill the rest of us.
“The Court finds these allegations sufficient to establish that CNN was acting recklessly with regard to the accuracy of its report, i.e., with ‘actual malice,” the order reads.
That could be really horrible with possibly good results.
CNN begged for it. As did Rolling Stone. As are a bunch of others. Expect a slew of these as precedents are set.
I really don’t like the idea of the US have British-style libel laws. US law is an attempt to fix what the Brits got wrong.
On the other hand, maybe they’ll stop being fucking lying sacks of fucking shit.
I’m really of the opinion that it’s a terrible precedent and I really, really, really wish our fine Minitrue betters did not make it nearly a requirement but since they did, I hope it has a salutary effect. Or should that be “salutatory affect” so people can have something easy to make of me for? Besides constantly ending sentences of prepositions, that is.
These might be a good metaphor for the people who supported Trump and/or people who supported Hillary.
The worst of those outbreaks were known as cocoliztli, from the word “pestilence” in the Aztec language Nahuatl.
It’s during one of these cocoliztli, between 1545 and 1550, that up to 80 percentof the native population is believed to have perished…
Now, the Max Planck researchers have presented evidence that the cause of the outbreak could have actually been a primitive and deadly form of salmonella.
The first glaring tell, “up to” and “believed to be…” are codewords for “Yeah, I’m pulling this out of my ass.”
At one point I got really into Aztec history after reading Jennings’ Aztec. It’s a very good book, as are most of his books, I haven’t read the sequels to Aztec, and it’s also, like all his books, surprisingly well researched and accurate.
That salmonella deal is an interesting idea that seem implausible to me. They list the plagues sweeping the area and the theory I’ve always seen is that it was just a cumulative deal with no real “This is the one!!!!”
I figure they just need some cash and global worming is getting tapped out.
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!
Here’s how fake news works. McCain gives some blatantly faked deal to one of Obama’s Trump-haters in the Dept. of “Justice”, they brief Trump on it saying, “People who hate you (Like McCain and..well, the intelligence community) are going to be doing shit like this to you in the future. Be prepared.”
The stupidity is published as accurate. Minitrue does their thing and next thing you know, basic facts are obfuscated.
NBC claimed yesterday that the synopsis was prepared but not shared with Trump, and furthermore that it was prepared merely as an example of “disinformation,” potentially to show him how unreliable private intelligence is.
Yeah, they try to make it hard to figure out what happened, but it was shared with Trump, move the word “potentially” and the sentence reflects reality.
He’s talking about the Clapper thing, here’s a different take on the intelligence brouhaha culminating with Clapper’s letter.
I haven’t seen a lot of follow-up about that (well, except now for the main headline on Drudge), but it’s very clear that Trump just nailed the existing Intelligence agencies for leaking this information. He knows it, and they know it. And guess what happens less than 12 hours later? (Clapper’s letter saying, ‘Our bad’ V)
Trump is a huckster, but he’s smart and can accurately model reality and act accordingly. He’s also used to dealing in the highest circles of competence in the world, now he’s in the US gov’t. That’s like training for the NFL and playing in the Lingerie League.
Well played, President-Elect Trump. I suspect we may see some top-level housecleaning when Dan Coats (Director of National Intelligence and Clapper’s replacement), Mike Pompeo (Director of the CIA) and Gen. Mike Flynn (National Security Advisor) are confirmed and in place
How beautiful would it be if our gov’t was actually run by people who care more about reality and helping America than giving money and power to leftist groups?
Let’s do some a couple fake news items. Without hovering over the link, try to see if they’re parody or satire or meant to be believed.
One of the guns used in the November 13, 2015 Paris terrorist attacks came from Phoenix, Arizona where the Obama administration allowed criminals to buy thousands of weapons illegally in a deadly and futile “gun-walking” operation known as “Fast and Furious.”
A Report of Investigation (ROI) filed by a case agent in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives (ATF) tracked the gun used in the Paris attacks to a Phoenix gun owner who sold it illegally, “off book,” Judicial Watch’s law enforcement sources confirm.
Too bad none of our fine media betters are covering this.
Check that, thank goodness they aren’t. They’d hide that it was Obama selling the gun and use it as an excuse to try to take my guns.
Lots of chucklers and near chucklers today, so let’s start with one that makes me laugh.
Maybe there are hydrogen oceans with CO2 sands and probably little water ice mountains with helium snow so the people who live there ski in the morning (about 487 of our days long) and then have pina colodas beachside in the afternoon (also 487 days long, happy hour is a bear there).
It gets cold at night I bet.
China’s President Xi Jinping will promote “inclusive globalization” at this month’s World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos and will warn that populist approaches can lead to “war and poverty”,
It won’t be Kim Jong Il working with the Film Actors Guild to Bring Peace For Our Time while causing wars around the world, Xi will be handling those duties.
I don’t think I’d go to the Panama Canal for a few years.
Not sure why Joey is in this one, I’d much prefer Rachel and her nips, but I do like the sentiment.
I always wonder what dogs think of us. I wonder if they think we controll weather. My dog thinks I’m an asshole, so I figure he thinks I make it 120 degrees outside just to fuck with him. His biggest wonder is how to get that big moving room to take him to McDonald’s. Next to the park, McD’s drive-thru is Kago’s favorite place to be. Now that he’s older, he prefers the drive-thru to the park.
I mentioned Nancy Pelosi and Obama, you know what that means! Pics of them below the fold!!!!!!!!
Authorities in Washington St told us to look for a “hispanic guy”.
” He initially said the suspect is a Hispanic male in his 20s or 30s. At a press conference on Saturday, however, authorities said they were not certain of the suspect’s race.
Yeah, I kept hearing, “They’re looking for some hispanic guy.” and I thought, maybe, but not really. In the picture they showed (on the right below), the guy didn’t look very hispanic. He looked a lot more middle eastern what with the gigantic eyebrows.
They had people looking for a hispanic guy. Cuz of the racism against middle eastern types.
I guess they’ve watched too much South Park, I’m surprised they didn’t say, “Some Puerto Rican guy”
It doesn’t look like terrorism, according to that Weasel Zippers link
Cetin’s neighbor who saw him being arrested and took pictures of the arrest, says that Cetin’s ex-girlfriend and her grandmother were among those shot in the Macy’s.
Sounds more like a jilted lover.
As an aside, I was flipping by Foxnews when they had a FoxNews ALERT!!!!!! about him being arrested and three guys shooting up Baltimore who are still on the loose.
And then they went back to the pre-recored Gutfeld show.
Really? They caught the guy who shot up a mall and they’re looking for 3 guys shooting up Baltimore, you’d think a 24 hour news channel might want to tell me more about breaking news than just the bare bones so I would keep watching.
You’d be wrong. (Eh, I got to see Maid Marian in the bath instead. So I’m calling that a win see below.)
That article above about the three guys in Baltimore doesn’t tell their race, so…..
Black or hispanic Middle Eastern?
It used to be you would just assume black when they didn’t say a race, but now it’s a toss-up.
You’d think they would want people to know who to look for.
You would be wrong.
Those are both places where Dems run things so they are uninterested in keeping you safe as they’re in a Narrative War!
Lefties have been ignoring and erasing reality for decades, but the last 8 years it’s been going full blast.
Chickens and roosting comes to mind.
It’s too bad we’re all about to pay the price.
The US and the world are about to get a heaping dose of reality.
This is why we have Trump.
If this post seems slow, I was watching, “Men in Tights” when the Maid Marion in the tub scene happened.
Important, someone else notices things! UPdate!!!!!! just below the picture of the Potus Of The Damned!!!!!!!!
Does anybody believe she has pneumonia? I know I don’t. But then, just because every other time I’ve noticed Clinton lies long before our fine media betters will acknowledge it, that doesn’t mean she lying this time.
Except her lips were moving.
Check and mate.
The other reason I know it’s not pneumonia is because I know what it really was; too much sunlight or too many crosses.
POTUS Of The Damned!
We’re lucky she didn’t burst into flames.
For some values of “lucky” I guess. Important UPdate!!!!!!!! Am I become a twittererer now that people are leaving twitter? Always behind the tech curve. I miss windows 95 and netscape navigator.
U.S. President Barack Obama said on Friday any provocative actions by North Korea would have “serious consequences” after the reclusive North confirmed it had conducted its fifth nuclear test.
The only people who actually face CONSEQUENCES!!!!!!!! from Obama are people who are insufficiently suckophantic toward him, like me and our military.
I’m not sure what he’s planning, but I’d say either the Army folks stationed in S. Korea are boned or I am. Not sure which way to root on that one.
I don’t think he’s planning on sending the NOAA or EPA swat teams out after me just yet while they’re facing a guy who couldn’t care less if they live or die, and Kim Jong KG too!
The National Anthem protests in the NFL continued on Sunday, as four members of the Miami Dolphins and one member of the Kansas City Chiefs conducted demonstrations during pregame ceremonies.
The Dolphins knelt and the Chief raised a fist.
The NFL had better stomp on this political shit quick or they’re going to piss off many of the people who love football. We don’t want politics, we want football!
Supermodel Kate Upton has condemned the four Miami Dolphins players who knelt during the national anthem, writing on Instagram that their actions are “a disgrace to those people who have served and currently serve our country.”
ESPN went full soap opera then went full SJW and racist (Hey Bomani!), and lost lots of viewers. The NFL is treading on dangerous ground.
The people who think they’re Elite are busily shitting on the rest of us and we’re noticing it.
Yankee Doodle” was originally created by the British to ridicule Americans…
The “macaroni” in question does not, however, refer to the food, but rather to a fashion trend that began in the 1760s among aristocratic British men….
To be “macaroni” was to be sophisticated, upper class, and worldly.
a doodle—a simpleton—thinks that he can be macaroni—fashionable—simply by sticking a feather in his cap. In other words, he is out of touch with high society.
You see, we lowbrow Americans just weren’t sophisticated enough to understand how elite they were but they just knew that we wanted to be like the but fell short when we tried to ape our betters.
Just like today!
The people who hope to keep their thumb on us are always calling us names and basically telling us to shut up and do what we’re told.
So how do we handle stuff like that.
and that American soldiers reclaimed it during the Revolutionary War
walking into a funeral and trying to remove a body from a casket….
Police say Frierson smelled of alcohol and had a small glass pipe with her.
Crystal meth is one bad freaking drug. Most drugs just make the users useless, they cause crime because the users need to steal to get more drugs or because the sale is so lucrative, but crystal meth makes the users freaking insane, annoying, aggressive assholes.
We mentioned a certain woman above so you know what that means! Pics of Hillary! collapsing below the fold!
Another Repost from 2/2013 because of some 30 year old hotassery. Jeez, I try to re-introduce an aging hottie to a new generation and what thanks do I get? Shut down. Sonomabatch.
Now, on to our post, which is still relevant. I’m not sure if that makes it fundy or fendy.
I moved the bits around to keep Chicago stuff next to each other. Not sure why I didn’t do that the first go around.
This is totally not a “round the tubes” post. I already did one of those today.
What with the problems in their global warmmongering, Penn State must have moved some global warmmongering ‘scientists’ over to their astronomy dept.
We all know the “Goldilocks Zone” (GZ) in astrogeometristics means the zone that’s ‘just right’ for life. In other words, the distance from a star where a planet could conceivably support life. We only know of one planet, currently, that supports life so we used to base the GZ on Earth’s orbit. That was the ignorant ‘before’, we’re in the glorious ‘now’ so we have super-genius global warmmongers on the job.
the Penn State team suggests… farther away planets into the fold of life-sustaining planets, a… it also kicks some planets out of the hunt for life as too hot — including, oddly enough, our very own Earth,
Brilliant! You’d think one of them might look at that and say, “Uh, guys…..” You’d be wrong.
So why do I say it’s global warmmongers? Besides the obvious I mean.
Clouds are just one factor that neither definition of the zone takes into account,
Neither do any global warmmongering models, and that’s why nothing they do is useful. They just can’t figure out how to model clouds (neither can I, but I admit it), so they just ignore them. It’s Ostrich Science.
Seriously, it always make me laugh to think of going back to 1970 and trying to explain 2013. The crackpots living in the mountains waiting for the Russkies to invade because the US gov’t invited them would think I was a paranoid loon.
Speaking of which, assuming there are around 250 million adults in America, does anybody really think that there aren’t 249,999,999 people more fit for that job than Hagel? You know who this helps? That’s right, Joe Biden. He’s number 249,999,999. He’s coming up smelling like…not shit!
Updated 9/6/2016 Remember Hagel? Whodathunk his successor would be even more useless? How funny is it that nobody, and I mean nobody, thought that would be possible.
Now, back to 2/2013
FrnakJ would win “Quote of the Day if I let him in the contest, but I won’t cuz he’d win every day.
So lax gun laws in other states than Illinois cause gun violence in Chicago but not in the states with the lax gun laws.
Heh. He’s consistently made me laugh for 9 years. But don’t tell him. He’ll get a big head.
Okay, this is heartening. Chicago and Boston have always been uber-corrupt but well run. They both had the biggest necessity for any, effective, political machine, a top-down hierarchy where the top tries to make sure Teh Peepul are happy. As we’ve seen in Boston, that might crumbling in Chicago . The fall of the Kennedys and the $billions in Big Dig money made insurrection thinkable in Boston.
Now we see something funnier in Chicago.
How, in the city of Chicago where the Democrat Machine is so strong, could there be 17 Democrat candidates vying for one open seat? It could hardly be imagined under the iron rule of former Mayor Daley.
How indeed. What we’re seeing is people who want power, but think power means you tell people what to do and you know more than anybody else. Rahm doesn’t understand what it takes to run a political machine, it’s like a mafia family but with more guns. Daley was raised and taught by his father who perfected Chicago’s political machine, and that was one of the most vicious but well run in the country.
The candidates run the gamut from completely clueless, yet dangerous in their ignorance to practiced Chicago pols like Alderman Beale and Robin Kelly,
Oh man am I rooting for the ignorantly dangerous. Chicago likes its politics and believes all the stupidities MSNBC spews out, let them actually live in that world. I picture people like Barbra Boxer or Maxine Waters, except even more stupid or they’d be in national politics instead of Chicago-city politics. They can pass a law mandating that all guns sold in Chicago have remote safeties that the police control or that they have smart bullets that don’t shoot people with police badges.
Chaos is the best outcome from stuff like that.
Updated 9/6/16
I’d just like to point out that the chaos I was expecting in Chicago is here and it’s politically driven.
Say what you want about the Daleys (really, say it. They were just less obvious about their feloniosity than Capone), but they knew how to run the crime family that is the Chicago-Dem Party, Rahm does not.
9/6/2016 Deleted part about funemployment that didn’t make sense at the time and really doesn’t make sense and I don’t feel like trying to make it make sense. Just more Minitrue nonsense to make their God-President look not like shit.
Now, back to 2/2013
This needs to be posted again, not because I like it, but because it’s so scarily true.
Just Fixin’ It
9/6/2016 Not sure why they left Article V alone. It’s all obsolete and shit, now they just ignore it, the Dept. of “Justice” then ignores any court orders and then Obama gets John Roberts to say it’s OK. I guess Roberts answered Obama’s plea
Mr. Roberts! Tear Down This Wall!
Now, back to 2/2013
No links, just some uselessly late movie reviews.
9/6/2016 I took out most of the movies for the repost and added Hercules.
Hercules with The Rock. I love that movie. It actually could be the most historically correct Hercules movie ever. Seriously. I’d bet a dollar that this is how the legend started.
Bubba Ho Tep, one of Bruce Campbell’s finest. Elvis got sick of performing, traded with an impersonator but kept the right to take it back then lost the papers so now he’s in a cheap nursing home about to be killed by a mummy. If you need any other endorsement, Lemur King doesn’t like it.
And last but not least, the hockey strike was over like 2 weeks ago, why didn’t anybody tell me? Are the Islanders mathematically eliminated yet?
9/6/2016 again, sigh. Now the Islanders make it to the playoffs and revert to suckage when they get there. Not sure which is worse.
Deleted the Hottasery, so it’s Slim Pickens below.
I had an Ebiscu Muscats vid ready, but as I watched it, I realized it just wasn’t as hot as Banana Mango High School.
But this one was queued on the side, so I figured I would post it as a public service to the Chinese who seem hell-bent on getting into a war with the Chinese.
We are not nearly afraid enough of the Japanese.
What the hell is going on in that vid eo? There’s something about it that almost makes sense but it’s just out of reach.
I mean, you can almost see it, and then a bunch of bones floats by and a huge black guy in knickers starts dancing.
I just find it hard to believe that even two atomic bombs can erase centuries of being badasses so they’re a powderkeg waiting to get off…go off.
The media is downplaying the “protests” as isolated. It seems they aren’t broadcasting footage of the debris being thrown across Harrison by Sanders/Hillary supporters at Trump fans.
They also aren’t mentioning the hordes running through the UIC parking structure breaking the windows of cars with Trump 2016 stickers.
Honesty is such a lonely word Everyone is so untrue
Honesty is hardly ever heard
And mostly what I need from you
The Daily Mail suggested Mrs Trump may have worked as a part-time escort in New York, and met husband Donald Trump, who is now running for the White House, earlier than previously reported.
The claims were “outright lying”, lawyer Charles Harder said.
I can always find someone
To say they sympathize
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve
But I don’t want some pretty face
To tell me pretty lies
All I want is someone to believe
In this new series, I propose to explore the sequence of errors, large and small, through which the climatological establishment has – until now – gotten away with greatly exaggerating climate sensitivity.
or this I guess
