Science is a methodology to find or approximate reliable information. It is not something you “believe in” as though it were a religion.

Science can inform decision making. Science cannot make a decision.

Based on the best available data (-which is always subject to new observation), science can suggest that the novel coronavirus is more deadly than most influenza viruses. Science can suggest methods of reducing propagation of the virus among the population. Science can suggest probable outcomes from various policies.

Science cannot decide the relative importance of allowing greater economic activity versus suppressing activity in order to reduce the rate of viral infection. Science cannot balance the number of deaths from infection against the loss of livelihood due to unemployment, depression and suicide due to social isolation, or unintended consequences of delaying “elective” medical procedures. Science cannot assign moral value.

Take the classic “trolley problem” and its variants. In the trolley problem, science will tell you that if you flip the switch, a certain set of individuals will die, and that if you do nothing, a different set of individuals will die. Science does not tell you whether to flip the switch.

When a politician of any party tells you that they are making a policy decision based on science, they are implying a value. That implied value might be reasonable. You may agree with that value. But be aware that they sneaked in the value through the back door.

So we’ve been watching this shit for years, decades in some instance, and yet, our fine betters are still trying to pretend we’re not seeing what we’re seeing.

I hate to have to admit this, but I have to start with a Mea Wronga.

For a few years now I’ve been saying we should fire everybody at the Dept of “Justice” and replace them with Free Republic commenters, but I wuz wrong.

We should fire them all and replace them with the fine folks at Judicial Watch. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying anything against Freepers, I’m just saying that JW is busy doing the job “Justice” is trying to stop.

The Dept of “Justice” is trying to hide evidence of high crimes and possible treason as Judicial Watch is trying to expose it.

Judicial Watch announced today that it filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice (sic) for all records of communications relating to Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya’s immigration parole. (Judicial Watch v. U.S. Department of Justice (sic)(No. 1:17-cv-02357)).

Judicial Watch filed suit after the Justice(sic) Department failed to respond to an August 4, 2017, FOIA request seeking…

The ‘Russian lawyer’ who finagled a meeting with Donald Trump, Jr. evidently wasn’t supposed to be in the country,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “We want to know what the Obama Justice (sic) Department knew and when it knew about what Ms. Veselniskava was up to.”

We know what she was up to, helping Obama’s “Justice” Dept try to fix an election by setting up bullshit charges against erstwhile Grannarch Hillary’s opponent.

I’ve come to realize we need to fire everybody in the IRS and replace them with Freepers, after JW gets done putting most of them in jail.

Emails uncovered by Judicial Watch show David L. Fish, IRS acting director of Exempt Organizations Rulings and Agreements, informing Holly Paz that another IRS employee, Joe Urban, had begun a “secret research project” with the donor lists that were improperly obtained by the IRS.

Chicago-Machine Politics writ large needs to be prosecuted and stopped, our fine betters at the Dept of “Justice” are uninterested in the rule of law, they want rule by corrupt assholes.

Of course, JW would need to hire some Freepers to do the legwork on a whole bunch of crimes done by all facets of Obama’s gov’t assholes, from Fast and Furious to…I don’t even want to remember all the lawless shit they were doing.

We need a rule of law, not Rule By Corrupt Lawyers and Bureaucrats.

 

So what are the members of our corrupt ruling class doing to get to the bottom of this shit? 

DNC Unveils Clinton Institute For Campaign Ethics Reform In Response To Corruption Allegations

That’s The Onion you say?  The Onion obviously has a time machine, their headlines are usually anywhere from a few days to a few years early, so we have that to look forward to.

Although…I could see them calling it the Obama Institute for Campaign Ethics Reform.

 

Let’s look at the Iranian/Saudi war that’s been raging across the Middle East for the last….. what? 8-12 centuries? Sure, it gets “Hot” and “Cold”, but the last few years, with Obama choosing the Iranians’ side, it got very “Hot” in Syria. But that war is about over, not sure who won, it appears to be Iran as ISIS is aligned with the Saudis.

So it’s moved to the Arabian peninsula. File this under, “Yeah, we already figured that out but it’s nice to have official confirmation.”

 Iran manufactured the ballistic missile fired by Yemen’s Shiite rebels toward the Saudi capital and remnants of it bore “Iranian markings,” the top U.S. Air Force official in the Mideast said Friday, backing the kingdom’s earlier allegations.

Leading to some hilarity. Apparently, the Little Satan isn’t thrilled with Iran winning so they’re putting their thumbs on the scale.

The foreign minister of Saudi Arabia has refused to quell rumors that his country is working with Israel to tackle the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah.

Abel Al-Jubeir said Thursday that Hezbollah, a political and militant Shia-Islamist group, has hijacked the system in Lebanon and is spreading a malign influence throughout the Middle East.

 

Sure, Saudi Arabia helps fund Palestinian jihadis, but with Iran cementing their hold on Syria and Lebanaon, Israel would like them to fight their real enemies, the people who believe in almost the same religion; the Saudis.

With Obama helping the Iranians get nukes, this is utterly unsurprising.

He said many countries want to push back against Hezbollah but would not be drawn either way on whether Saudi Arabia was now working with Israel.

That’s huge, but not really unexpected. Israel ain’t gonna nuke the Arabian peninsula because they help the Palestinian Terrortories, Iran would probably nuke the Saudis before they tried to nuke Israel because that’s what Allah wants.

 

Of course, so far as we’re concerned, we want Iran and the Saudis to focus on each other. Why?

That’s why.

 

One thing I never get, why do people take anything China does at face value?

A day before Donald Trump arrived in Beijing for crucial talks, China arrested three prominent African-American athletes.  It would be awful if this became a racial issue today back home.  A new element could be introduced into the deal-making at the heart of the presidential mission to East Asia, and these youths have a following.  They all have headshots from UCLA:

At least they don’t have head-shots from the People’s Army.

Yet.

China does not want to be friends with America, they want to use our economy to bolster their Potemkin Economy so they can afford shit like a navy, so they can threaten more places than where they can walk.

 

Fucking Africa, the people on that continent are fucked, their rulers don’t want them educated, they want them superstitious and fearful. People are easier to dominate that way.

That gives us shit like this.

 

RELATIVES dancing with the corpses of their loved ones are helping to spread the plague, officials have warned.

Madagascans have been told to stop the traditional practice of Famadihana, which sees locals dig up deceased relatives and dance with them before they are reburied, The Sun reports.

 

In the Congo they eat pygmies for some fucking reason, in some places they screw virgins to cure AIDS, they’re just fucked.

 

Let’s go to America, it’s not really funny, but it’s less murderous.

Yesterday and today mark the anniversary of Kristallnacht.

Kristallnacht also known as Night of Broken Glass was an anti-Jewish pogrom in Nazi Germany on November 9th-10th 1938.

“That’s not America!!!!!” you say, well, Tuesday we had a little Kristolnacht.

The small but vocal contingent of “NeverTrump” Republicans — those who swore never to vote for Donald Trump in the 2016 election, even if that meant handing the country to Hillary Clinton and the Democrats — were exuberant Tuesday night, as Republican gubernatorial candidates went down to defeat in New Jersey and Virginia…

The Weekly Standard section of the We’re Better and Smarter Than You Party/Never Trumpers are happy. Even though, apparently, Gillespie was a member in good standing of that party.

Yeah. The end of the beginning of putting us in our place.

Of course, it’s not even the end of the beginning, it’s just another step in the more than a decade-long process they’ve been trying since Bush was POTUS.

 

This is something I’m not surprised our fine media betters and our betters in the We’re Better and Smarter Than You Party have ignored, but why has the dextrosphere mostly ignored it as well?

Brazile, according to Newsweek, in a piece titled “DNC’S Donna Brazile Dedicated Her Book To ‘Patriot’ Seth Rich, Whose Death Made Her Fear For Own Life”,  dedicated her book in part to Rich…

, as the Post reported earlier in the weekend. She wrote that Rich’s murder haunted her and that she’d installed surveillance cameras at her home and would keep the blinds in her office window closed so she could not be seen by snipers,

When I saw that I figured I’d see a bunch of shit about it, but no, just this and some articles the day she said it. Why should she be worried about “bungling muggers” having sniper rifles? Maybe she doesn’t think his murder was a “bungled” mugging!?!?!?!?!

Weird. When I say that it’s suspicious, it’s a Conspiracy Theory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, when Donna Brazile, former head of the DNC and Hillary’s enabler, says it, it’s Not News!!!!!!!

 

Speaking of the We’re Better and Smarter Than You Party, they’re still butthurt about Roy Moore winning the primary, so there’s no pushback on this.

When the story broke an hour ago that Roy Moore was being accused by multiple women of inappropriate sexual behavior when they were underage teens, I thought, “uh oh.” Then, I saw the source: Washington Post. A short wave of relief came over me before the real dread of our current situation took hold.

I don’t trust the Washington Post. They are among the worst journalistic predators in the country in that they claim to be the beacon of truth while constantly spinning facts to match their liberally approved narratives

He’s been in the public eye for a long time, what with some fairly ‘controversial’ rulings as judge, so why is this coming out now? You don’t need the Harvey Weinstein shit to legitimize tenuously evidenced sexual misconduct claims against a conservative, that’s just standard operating procedure.

Add in that the Wash Post has been at the forefront of Fake News about Trump and, well, this smells like week-old Obama lies.

Hell, it smells like year-old Clinton lies. And those really smell.

 

The Environmental Protection Agency (actual results usually vary) has okayed:

The environmental agency announced in a press release on Tuesday that the company has been approved to let “ZAP male” mosquitoes into the ecosystem to mate with the standard Asian Tiger female mosquito that terrorizes humans in the summer.

Male mosquitoes don’t bite, so when these specially grown ZAP insects, infected with the bacteria Wolbachia pipientis, mate with wild female mosquitoes, the resulting eggs won’t hatch. This will reduce the amount of biting, disease-carrying lady mosquitoes.

I can’t see any problems stemming from this!

Did I say that with a straight face? I’m out of practice so I’ve been practicing again is why I ask.

 

I didn’t pay much attention to this, but the story of the two women and dogs who survived after 6 months adrift in the Pacific smelled as much as a Wash Post ‘scoop’ to me. This guy has the knowledge and boredness to actually look into their claims.

19 REASONS THIS “SURVIVAL” STORY SMELLS FISHY

If I had seen this bit about sharks I would have called bullshit immediately, I find it hard to believe that even today’s journalists are stupid enough to buy it.

“I’m telling you I’ve never seen any Stanley Cup winner come even close to the precision these five sharks had. Three would get on one side and two would get on the other side, and they would make waves and try to knock down the boat.”

“I told [the dogs] not to bark because the sharks could hear us breathing. They could smell us”

Although… I shouldn’t be surprised. Our fine media betters learned all their history from movies, and since SyFy movies made their leftward lurch that must have become their Science/Discovery Channel, what they watch instead of Shark Week. Still, the lack of fully filled bikinis should have clued them it was Fake News.

They’re apparently even more stupid than even I expected. And that’s saying something.

He does some speculating, that seem pretty rock-solid to me.

They’re expecting publicity (mission accomplished) and maybe a book deal. Maybe a TV special. Maybe an episode of “I Shouldn’t Be Alive.” Hell, maybe a movie. They’re attention whores.

Yup.

 

I have to admit, I’m torn on this one.

Hackers from the UK-based security firm Pen Test Partners have found that it’s trivially easy to hack into a Svakom Siime Eye, a $249 Internet of Things dildo that has a small camera on its tip, allowing users to stream a video to anyone of their choosing over the internet. However, if you’re in Wi-Fi range of the dildo and can guess the password, which by default is “88888888,” you can watch the video stream. With a bit more hacking, you can take control of the firmware and then connect to it remotely as well.

As noted at the link, these things don’t always go into the vagina, just saying. So if they end up looking up someone’s ass, isn’t actually accomplishing that goal punishment enough?

 

200 Quatloos on Riki Tikki Tavi!

A  Scottish pro golfer captured video of a cobra battling a mongoose for its life on a South African course during the European Tour’s Nedbank Golf Challenge.

Fuck Nagaina.

 

I got sick of comeying, tried not to mueller but now I’m stuck watching them act as if some neo-nazis just started beating on random people who were in no way involved with any violence.

I’m gonna start with this, again, because that is one of the most disturbing things I’ve seen in my lifetime. The police were not stopping this guy from being assaulted, during a fucking press conference, until after he was tackled. They observed multiple assaults and did not a fucking thing.

The fuckhead who hits him in the back and then raises his hands is a real piece of work.

Whoever the speaker is should sue the shit out of the city and state. I hope he does and he bankrupts both. Let their taxpayers rein in Gov Clintonista and the local fuckheads.

 

I’ve seen this linked a few places with people noting that the cops are calling Gov Clintonista a fucking liar.

Ummmm, he’s a Clintonista, of course he lied. You don’t even need proof to say that, it’s just axiomatic.

Butt hey’re ignoring the important parts.

“No, the State Police did not have inferior equipment,” Corinne Geller, Virginia State Police public relations manager, told the Free Beacon. “Our personnel are equipped, and were equipped, with the necessary protective and tactical gear for their safety and, obviously, to protect those that were in attendance of the event.”

So what you’re saying there Officer Fuckhead is that you were  prepared and you still did not a fucking thing? Why is that?

“There were physical barriers in place for folks to be able to use for their safety. We cannot tell people where to assemble, there’s freedom of assembly,”

Lying liar who fascists! The evil forces your footsoldiers attacked needed a permit they had to sue to get but you’re saying a large group of armed, masked thugs who came to mostly-peacefully stop speech they don’t like didn’t need a permit? Lying fuckhead.

The rule of law in America is dead as a fucking doornail.

 

Nother curious thing that looks very clintonian.

Almost at first contact, Charlottesville mayor Michael Signer and Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe declared a state of emergency and cancelled the demonstrators’ permits

I’d like to see some FOIAing of his email, I’m sure we’d see communications from Gov Clintonista setting that shit up. I’d be utterly unsurprised if CNN and the Wash Post were in on it too so they could know to ignore that the fascist anti-fa fascists came for the violence and stayed for the not getting stopped assaulting.

 

Not really all that unexpected or surprising for the NY Times to protect Gov Clintonista but it can be helpful to see how they lie and fakenews.

FAKENEWS NEW YORK TIMES: Totally Rewrites Charlottesville Story to Protect Gov. Terry McAuliffe

But of course.

So how do the mostly-peaceful fascists thank their ‘journalist’ cover?

Sunday night, a local CBS Photojournalist was attacked by Antifa protesters. The photojournalist was standing on the sidelines of the protest filming with his iPhone when he was attacked. He was not on duty at the time.

Just the way they deserve to be thanked. Bravo anti-fa fascists! Keep up the good work!

 

Speaking of good work keeping up, how many $billions did Obama give Iran for totally mostly-peaceful purposes?

Iran is preparing to send a flotilla of warships to the Atlantic Ocean following the announcement of a massive $500 million investment in war spending

Mostly-Peaceful!

Maybe Obama was listening to NY Times/Nobel Prize in Economics writer(s) who think sending our shit half-way round the world to blow it up helps the economy.  That makes more sense than that a POTUS knowingly armed our enemies to make them stronger.

Well, not so much ‘more sense’ as ‘sounds less fucking infuriatingly fucking horrific than the truth that our previous POTUS got the world all ready to rumble.’

 

I’m pretty well fucking sick of fucking Canada acting all “We’re So Much Better Than The US!!!!”, they’re not even as good at hypocrisy, but not for lack of trying.

“We are certainly looking for a better level playing field across North America on environmental protections,” Trudeau said last week.

However with Trump withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris climate change agreement and pledging to return the U.S. coal industry to its glory days, the White House and the Canadian government are far apart on many environmental issues.

Shouldn’t you be trying to bone France’s Macron?

Keep that in mind as we discuss Green Science (which is neither)

 

Since cars with batteries are charged via unicorn fart, that part is clean, clean, clean, but what about making them? It takes lithium.

Since Canada is all in on Green Science!!!!! (which is neither), they decided to mine lithium. Since lithium mining is very polluting, what to do, what to do?

Lithium mines escape pollution laws

Green Science (which is neither), killing Gaia, people and lowering our standard of living for decades while allowing smug, ignorant fuckheads like Prime Minister Ken Doll in Canada to act all smug and superior.

 

They’re also mining thorium, cadmium and some other toxic stuff that’s bad for Gaia and growing things, but since it’s Green Science!!!!! (which is neither), it’s A-OK.

I do wish Trump took requests, he should explain how we need to go to all battery vehicles and trade more with the extra-pollutiony, murderous, commie dictators in China and the hypocritical twats in Canada.

That way, our fine media betters would be forced to explain how batteries are bad for Gaia and flowers.

 

Related, here’s Green Science (which is neither) dishonesty!

They mention energy costs for producing the vehicles as if that’s all the pollution they emit.  Not sure how much it’s changed, but 6 or 8 years ago a regular Honda Civic was about the cleanest emission vehicle on the road. As my buddy noted, you couldn’t commit suicide with one, you’d just get a bad headache.

These obfuscators write this

Although hybrid vehicle production is more energy-intensive and results in higher production emissions, hybrid vehicles are still the greener choice overall. 

Just after writing this

n recent years, rare earth metals like lithium have been imported almost exclusively from China, which was able to lower its prices enough to monopolize the industry [source: Strickland]. One of the reasons China could sell lithium so cheaply was because it widely ignored environmental safeguards during the mining process. In the Bayan Obo region of China, for example, miners removed topsoil and extracted the gold-flecked metals using acids that entered the groundwater, destroying nearby agricultural land. (emphasis me in both paragraphs V)

Although I can understand their dishonesty, who gives a fuck if some Chinese serfs die from all the pollution and hunger after losing their farmland?

There are plenty more where they came from (like a billion) and we can’t have a China Is A Role Model For The US campaign if people are gonna nitpick about dead serfs and destroyed ecosystems.

Just ask anybody living in a former SSR (Hey NY Times Pulitzer Prize Winning Fakenewser, Walter Duranty!).

 

I only have a digital antenna for TV and I do not miss Foxnews or CNN very much, if at all. For the last few weeks I had cable I couldn’t watch any of them for more than a minute, usually less, as all they were talking about was Getting Trump!!!!! while ignoring anything that makes the Dems look like the fascist, dishonest assholes they are. If I never hear or write the words, “comey” and “russia” I’ll be happy.

I get most of my news from the tubes anyway, I’d only occasionally see something on Foxnews I didn’t know and look for it. Not watching cable news makes you more knowledgeable with every day.

 

Let’s start with a little Never Trumpers Just Trying To Help Trump!.

The Trumps and the Truth
The best defense against future revelations is radical transparency.

Even Donald Trump might agree that a major reason he won the 2016 election is because voters couldn’t abide Hillary Clinton’s legacy of scandal, deception and stonewalling. Yet on the story of Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election, Mr. Trump and his family are repeating the mistakes that doomed Mrs. Clinton.

So he’s supposed to be transparent when minitrue keeps using anonymous sources to lie about him and his peeps? He’s supposed to be transparent when minitrue screeches Treason! and attacks his peeps for meeting with people who claimed to have dirt on Hillary? I can see their problem, everybody knew the dirt on Hillary, but minitrue and Never Trumpers tried to do their best to keep that shit under wraps.

Don’t you get it, guys? Special counsel Robert Mueller and the House and Senate intelligence committees are investigating the Russia story. Everything that is potentially damaging to the Trumps will come out, one way or another. Everything. Denouncing leaks as “fake news” won’t wash as a counter-strategy beyond the President’s base, as Mr. Trump’s latest 36% approval rating shows.

The problem for Never Trumpers is that Trump’s voters do not trust them, rather, we do trust them to lie, obfuscate and do their best to sabotage the man they hate who is doing what the people they hate elected him to do. The people who hate Trump, like the Elite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ignoramuses at the WJS, will never be swayed because he’s threatening their cozy oligarchy, the people who like Trump will not be swayed by anything minitrue does.

 

This is the type of shit that might make Trump’s supporters very fucking angry with Trump.

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said the Justice Department will issue new directives to increase the federal govenment’s use of civil asset forfeiture, a controversial practice that allows law enforcement to seize property from suspected criminals without charging them with a crime.

That’s Rope, Tree, Politician, some assembly required, shit.

With the No-Knock Raid, asset forfeiture when no crime has been proven, is the biggest unConstitutional shit our gov’t does.

 

Speaking of ignorant Never Trumpers, Kurt Schlichter is spot on. Again.

As the Grand Marshal of the Supreme Court assembles the posse of Bailiffs, Trumpeters and Attendants, the Learned Scribes are generating the Official Law Warrant of Justice to arrest Donald Trump Jr. for High Treason, which they will do after marching to the White House on a carpet of rose petals strewn by Fair Maidens.

Or something. Whatever. The Menscian media is in a spazz yet again.

Boy oh boy, maybe this time we can overturn the results of the election…

That asset forfeiture shit really pisses me off, but Trump’s enemies are still Constitutional America’s enemies.

This shows he wasn’t paying too much attention.

And I admit I almost didn’t think it could happen, but things have gotten stupider

If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the last 10 years it’s that we’ve not even come close to plumbing the depths of the stupidity of our Elite!!!! ignoramuses. As he writes, they freak out over the most common-place things, like meeting with someone, still alive, with dirt on Hillary.

It would be political malpractice not to meet with someone who has dirt on Hillary.

And you want to meet them as soon as possible. People with dirt on Clintons tend to commit suicide or be killed in a ‘botched robbery’ where nothing is stolen except life.

Heads up to Charles Ortel, Mike Cernovich and other brave souls who keep digging for the truth about the Clinton Foundation: Make public your own suicide note before your never-to-be-proven killers get to register “SUICIDE” as the cause of your untimely death.

Send out your own ‘Suicide’ note first along the lines of: I (fill-in-the-blank) am researching the mysterious deaths of Seth Rich, John Ashe, Peter E. Smith, Klaus Eberwein and others.  I would never choose suicide as the way out of life on earth.”  It wouldn’t hurt to add, “nor am I the type to ever drop a barbell on my own neck.”  “Ditto for wandering along alone on the streets of Washington, D.C., which should be one of the safest places to be out wandering, rather than the political quagmire it really is.”

Now I have to wonder if Hillary had Arkansas state troopers kill Bill’s hookers.

Some data points.

“Former Haitian government Klaus Eberwein was found dead in a motel room earlier this week from a gunshot wound to the head. The Miami-Dade medical examiner is ruling it a suicide. (Cristina Laila, Gateway Pundit, July 15, 2017)…

“On July 3, 2016, Shawn Lucas and filmmaker Ricardo Villaba served the DNC Services Corp. and Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz at DNC’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., in the fraud class action suit against the Democrat Party on behalf of Bernie Sanders supporters.

“Shawn Lucas was found dead that week…

”And on June 22, 2016, former UN official John Ashe “accidentally” crushed his own throat and died a week before he was scheduled to testify against the Clintons and Democrat Party…

“The Chicago Tribune reported Thursday that the Minnesota death record states Smith committed suicide in a hotel room May 14.

“The investigator’s death came only 10 days after a Wall Street Journal interview by investigative reporter Shane Harris, who focused on Smith’s attempts to locate 33,000 emails deleted by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before she surrendered her email server to federal authorities…

 

How convenient. If only our anti-American media could be assed to actually report on news instead of trying to get Democrats elected.

 

Speaking of the lying liars who fakenews, 8 years of media tongue-bathing of Obama have some salutary aspects.

And all along, over eight terrible years, our media did a whole lot more than just let Obama get away with it. They wholeheartedly colluded. They allowed Obama to persecute them through the Department of Justice and to lie to our face (remember: I just now read about it in the newspaper, the IRS did nothing wrong, you can keep your insurance). And when that wasn’t enough, the media mercilessly attacked as racist anyone who criticized the Precious and ginned up nothingburgers like Todd Akin to distract from those four dead Americans. And when even that wasn’t enough, they themselves lied and obfuscated, covered up and dissembled, and most of all they set all kinds of precedents that, in a delicious form of irony, are now driving this utterly failed institution to the edge of insanity…

And now — now! — this very same media (with the help of #NeverTrump’s forever-preening moral narcissists) is using the spear of Muh Principles to demand that those of us on the political right agree to destroy ourselves in their corrupt crusade, that we acquiesce like second-class citizens to their separate sets of rules?

Like hell.

You can tell it’s not DPUD, here that “Like hell” would be “Fuck that.”, but that’s just a semantic quibble.

Journolisters do not want to follow those precedents, but Americans are suddenly remembering what happened a few years ago. That does not bode well for either minitrue, the rest of the Dem party or the establishment pricks in the GOP.

 

GOP voters device

Get out your squeezy bulb!!!!!!

Not long after the defections of two more Senate Republicans made the GOP Obamacare replacement bill dead in the water, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell  (R-KY) announced Monday night he would let members vote for a “repeal only” amendment, if they are able to get the base health care legislation that was passed in the House onto the floor…

I can tell that’s a lie. The GOP only does machiavellian tactics against their voters.

A conundrum.

Under the plan laid out by McConnell’s statement Monday, if the Senate Republicans are willing to advance the repeal-and-replace bill passed in the House in a procedural vote, they will get a chance to vote on an amendment to replace it with a “repeal only” approach, similar to a 2015 bill Congress passed that was vetoed by President Obama. It’s unclear what the next steps would be if the vote on the amendment failed.

I can clear that up. We’ll get 

 

Speaking of which, only one of these people is being honest.

 President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called for the full, clean repeal of Obamacare in late-night statements Monday.

I’m sick of fish, my fins hurt and my squeezy bulb needs to be replaced so get back to me when it happens.

Another thing I’ve learned is that when the GOP says something is going to happen, it won’t. They like the power and opportunity for graft Obamacare gives them.

A data point on whether the GOP Congress will do what they’ve been claiming they want to do and what they were specifically elected to do.

Just six months ago, it looked like the Republican Party was about to go on a legislative blitzkrieg, shredding law after law passed by the Obama administration…

But a funny thing happened on the way to libertarian utopia. Indeed, it turns out that the GOP-controlled Congress can’t seem to pass any meaningful laws at all. Either they have forgotten how, or the divisions in their own increasingly radicalized caucus are proving too difficult to surmount. Whatever the explanation, thus far these GOP legislators are on track to be the least productive group since at least the Civil War.

They have all three branches of our gov’t and yet they cannot do what they’ve been running on for years. d

Of course, that’s obviously a minitrue/Never Trumper publication in good standing

ObamaCare would be vaporized and replaced with a nickel rattling inside an empty Mountain Dew can. Dodd-Frank was sure to be tossed aside for a transparent giveaway to Wall Street. And Republicans would pass their regressive tax reform, their perplexing border-adjustment tax, and so much more…

if you measure by the 43 laws that President Trump has adorned with his garish signature

the new Congress would work with a sub-literate tabula rasa named Donald Trump…

 

But they’re not wrong about the Do-Nothing Congress. Now, normally I’d be for Congress not doing shit, but they need to undo shit and they aren’t.

No minitrue article is complete without a blatant lie.

The most important finding they’ve uncovered is that over the past 30 years, congressional Republicans have become substantially more ideologically extreme, while congressional Democrats have moved marginally to the left but are not much different as a group than they were in 1980

Lying liars who lie. In 1980, the Dems were against gay marriage, illegal immigration, had no comment on all the various new sexual orientations and their right to use the bathroom they feel like using that day and, of course, they were for America. While the GOP has become CENTRIST!!!! (read, moved to the left).

 

It seems the Supreme Court has the same opinion I do of the assholes in Hawaii who have decided they are legislators while also having the power of the POTUSy.

The U.S. Supreme Court has given Hawaii et al until noon Tuesday to respond to the government’s motion on the reinstated travel ban. The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a Motion to Clarify and Application for Stay after Hawaii Attorney General Douglas S. Chin judge-shopped seeking a broader definition pertaining to those permitted to enter the U.S.

That’s legalese for, “Don’t fuck with us you booger-eating moh-rons.”

 

Let’s look at more of lefties being all centrist and shit.

The evidence is clear—the American Left succeeded in lobbying the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to eliminate some of the sexual identity disorders from their Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM).

It’s none of my business what you want to do with your genitalia or if you want to deny you have them or want to claim your gender is not decided by your genitalia, but don’t expect me to be involved in supporting your problems.

Let’s look at how little lefties have moved left since the 80s.

First published in 1968, DSM-II, Section 3, Part V, listed Personality Disorders and Certain other Non-psychotic Mental Disorders.  In this section, homosexuality was listed as a mental disorder.  Under pressure from the Left and gay-rights groups, the APA compromised, removing homosexuality from the DSM but replacing it with the kinder and gentler descriptor: “sexual orientation disturbance” for people “in conflict with” their sexual orientation.

In 1987 homosexuality was struck from the DSM by a majority vote of the APA members.  In 2012, transvestitism, was also eliminated from the DSM-5 (fifth edition), replaced gender identity disorder and further redefined and softened the previous personality disorder into gender dysphoria.  The change in terminology removed all implication and designation that transvestitism was a mental illness.  Dysphoria is defined as the distress a person experiences as a result of the sex and gender they were assigned at birth.

 

I’m not making a judgement call on that, I’m just noting that things have changed drastically since the 80s and for the assholes above to claim the Dems have not moved far left is not just a lie, but one that demands I not remember anything our fine media betters don’t want me to know.

Which makes this make much more sense.

“Generally, more highly educated people, who have higher incomes, consume more resources than poorly educated people, who tend to have lower incomes,” explains a UN “toolkit” for global “sustainable” education,which is still posted online at UNESCO’s website. “In this case, more education increases the threat to sustainability.”

The less you know the easier you are to control. Every slave-owner ever knew that. And if you miseducate, well, Orwell knew all about that. “He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past.”

 

As our universities become crazed, fascist, racist, violent places, we know why at least.

Top public universities pay administrators with jobs related to diversity initiatives an average of  $175,088 per year, substantially more than other professors and faculty members, according to a Campus Reform investigation Wednesday.

Paying 6 figures to socialist agitators is all about teh stupidity. Ever level of our educational system would be best served by firing everybody whose job title includes “diversity” or “inclusion”. That would reduce the cost of schooling by a non-insignificant amount.

That’s via David Thompson, who you should be reading. I’ve lost his blog and found it again a bunch of times over the years and have always enjoyed it.

 

That shooting in Minnesota looks very fucking bad.

The police officer who shot and killed an unarmed Australian woman in mysterious circumstances after she called 911 to report a disturbance behind her upscale Minneapolis home has been identified.

Mohamed Noor, who joined the department in March 2015, reached over and shot Justine Damond, 40, multiple times from the passenger seat of his squad car while she spoke to his colleague on the drivers side in a back alley.

I’m sure this makes me a hater, but people from places without central authority cannot understand how an America police force is supposed to act. Life isn’t cheap here the way it is in places like Somalia. You can train him for a few months but is that good enough to overcome a lifetime of experience? Too bad finding out what happened will be so hard. You cannot upset the Narrative that immigrants from shithole countries are just friends we haven’t met.

 

Nothing major, just someone else who agrees with my take on Pinochet vs commie dictators.

Hear me loud and clear!” Salvador Allende himself boasted the following month. “We will employ revolutionary violence!” (Is that so, Mr Allende? Well two can play at that game, answered Pinochet.)…

(Pinochet’s forces give communists a taste of their own medicine on 9-11-73.  Anti-communist Chileans react by burning pictures of Allende, Castro and Che Guevara…In very short order Chile became prosperous and free.)

Exactly, he saw commies about to take over his country so he did it first, killed as many commies as he could find and then left a functioning democratic republic. He also killed commies trying to recreate Cuba all over South America, stalling their plans. For that, he can never be forgiven.

That’s why Ronnie Raygun is the worst person in the history of ever for selling arms to Iran to fight Iraq and using the money to pay anti-commie fighters. He should have sold arms to Cuba and used the money to bankroll anti-Pinochet fighters.

 

I was leaning toward a sane person, or FrnakJ, writing the President Hillary Clinton blog, but now I have to rethink it. This is about John McCain, who I thought had a blood-clot, not a tumor (It is not a two-more!)

Dearest brain turmor,

I’ve never written a brain tumor before. But I think you’re great, brain tumor. I heard about you on the news. Please accept this box of chocolates as a token of my sincere admiration. Romantically, I don’t want anything from you, except to tell you: I love you, brain tumor. You’ve reduced Americans like me to tears of relief and gratitude. Rock on, my dear brain tumor. At a time when Republicans are trying to kill us all, no one is doing more important work for the cause of universal health care in America than the work that you are doing today, except maybe President Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Love, your fan,

Mary Barnes Fashan,

Miami, FL

That’s lefty-grade hate and vitriol right there. Unless the blogger is working OT to act like our fine, tolerant, mostly-peaceful left.

 

From the Barrel of a Gun!, we learn if you’re planning on going to the Maldives you had better go soon.

 

You have until September. Make your plans accordingly. Don’t forget the bottle water.

 

Road and Track must have lost their way.

Headline

How the Hell Is the Aston Martin Valkyrie a Road-Legal Car?

That should read, “How Awesome is it that the Aston Martin Valkyrie is a Road-Legal Car?

The specs

the car would produce 1130 hp from its naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 and will weigh around 2,270 lbs. Aston Martin hasn’t released any drivetrain specs today, but the company has confirmed a lot of the coolest details of the car.

Holey moley. That’s more than 3 times the HP of my Mustang while it’s half the weight. All I can say is to make sure your toupee is glued tight before hitting that gas pedal.

My only problem with cars like that is that they cannot keep up with my Mustang on real roads. Sure on a track or a perfectly smooth, curvy road I wouldn’t even see his taillights after about 4 seconds, but in the real world all that power without any weight to hold it down makes it unstable.

There are some awesome exit/entrance ramps in the Greater Albany Metropolitan region.  I could take those ramps at 90+ even in my old Integra, my Mustang takes them even faster. My buddy brought his ZR1 Corvette up a few years ago and I took him to my favorite but he couldn’t get it above about 70 because the cracks in the road made it bounce and would have bounced right off the outside of the turn and off the road.

There’s nothing like 2 tons of Detroit steel barreling down the road. Nothing.

 

Obama lost wars we’d already won, Trump is trying to win peace we’d already lost!

Continuing his trend of pulling the United States out of longstanding agreements, President Donald Trump today signed an executive order officially pulling the US out of the Treaty of Versailles “just in case,” Duffel Blog has learned.

“As of today,” Trump said in a statement, “America will no longer participate in the draconian and economically harmful stipulations of the Treaty of Versailles — which is really close to Paris, by the way, it’s like a suburb — and will instead focus on what really won the first world war: coal.”

 

It’s nearly 100 years late, but still welcome! That’s also a dig on the Democrats War on Coal!, Trump knows who our allies are!

 

I have to wonder if Texas cats are working on taking over the world.

Armored fucking cats. Jebus.

 

Let’s end on Why I Don’t Miss DC, especially The Mixing Bowl!

At any time in the day or night you can be stuck in non-moving traffic. The ones that annoyed me most were when the accident was on the other side of the highway. If I’m behind an accident I cannot get angry (except at whatever asshole did something stupid to cause it), but when I’m down to 5 MPH because none of the assholes ahead of me had ever seen an accident or a cop car on the other side of the highway that really steams me.

 

 

 

Listen, I’m not sure if someone’s messing with just me or with a lot of us, but it’s really getting harder and harder to take anything I see in the news seriously.

We’re close to war with Russia

The White House said on Monday that coalition forces fighting Islamic State militants in Syria retained the right to self-defense as Russia warned it viewed any planes flying in its area of operations as potential targets…

Russia, a staunch ally of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, said it would treat U.S.-led coalition aircraft flying west of the Euphrates River in Syria as potential targets and track them with missile systems and military aircraft. It stopped short of saying it would shoot them down.

The Russian Defence Ministry said it was also immediately scrapping a Syrian air safety agreement with Washington designed to avoid collisions and dangerous incidents.

and every time I flip to TV news I see something about Trump. Yesterday CNN went on for a little while about Flynn for fuck’s sake.

So what else are they ignoring as they focus on GETTING TRUMP!!!!!!!?

Unmasking Scandal: On Monday, Judicial Watch announced that it hit a dead end in its effort to dig out information about why White House advisor Susan Rice ordered an “unmasking” of Trump campaign officials in classified reports. In response to Judicial Watch’s April 4 request for materials related to these unmasking requests — to determine whether they were politically motivated — the National Security Council said it had sent all those records to Obama’s presidential library, where they can’t be released for five years…

Loretta Lynch Scandal: Despite blanket coverage of James Comey’s testimony about his firing by Trump, few noted the bombshell Comey dropped about Obama’s attorney general, Loretta Lynch, who, Comey said, pressured him to downplay the significance of the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s reckless handling of classified emails on her private server. Comey said Lynch told him to call it a “matter,” not an investigation.

There’s more. You see, our fine media betters can’t have people getting the wrong idea. They need to understand that Trump is a fascist. If they ever find out how Obama and the rest of the Dem party acted and acts they might think the Democrats are the real fascists!?!?!?! We can’t have that!

 

 

Via Paco, we see something I really didn’t want to know.

Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain in 2012 turned over nearly $9 million in unspent funds from his failed 2008 presidential campaign to a new foundation bearing his name, the McCain Institute for International Leadership.

The institute is intended to serve as a “legacy” for McCain and “is dedicated to advancing human rights, dignity, democracy and freedom.” It is a tax-exempt non-profit foundation with assets valued at $8.1 million and associated with Arizona State University…

Critics worry that the institute’s donors and McCain’s personal leadership in the organization’s exclusive “Sedona Forum” bear an uncanny resemblance to the glitzy Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) that annually co-mingled special interests and powerful political players in alleged pay-to-play schemes.

The institute has accepted contributions of as much as $100,000 from billionaire liberal activist-funder George Soros and from Teneo, a for-profit company co-founded by Doug Band, former President Bill Clinton’s “bag man.” Teneo has long helped enrich Clinton through lucrative speaking and business deals.

In addition, the institute has taken at least $100,000 from a Moroccan state-run company tied to repeated charges of worker abuse…also accepted at least $100,000 from the Pivotal Foundation, which was created by Francis Najafi … has in the last three years given $205,000 to the National Iranian-American Council (NIAC), which has been a vocal advocate for the Iranian nuclear deal the Obama administration negotiated.

 

Which deal McCain supposedly opposed. Jeffrey Immelt is on the board. You know, the ‘Republican’ head of GE who was such good friends with Obama.

The worst part? That I believe.

 

More of reality intruding on Reality!, it’s not funny but it was entirely predictable.

Let’s Burn Some Cat Fur!

First, Reality!

The term “no-go zone” famously caught on in some international media back in 2015 after it was used by a Swedish newspaper columnist to label these areas, but it has been strongly rejected by police and emergency services themselves.

The police definition describe these districts as socio-economically vulnerable areas with a generally high crime rate. In an especially vulnerable area there are also often parallel societal structures, religious extremism and police regularly have to adapt their methods to the volatile situation. (Ed. This usually means running away) Residents also often do not report crimes, either out of fear of retaliation or because they think it will not lead to anything.

Now reality.

Approached for comment, Stockholm area regional police chief Ulf Johansson said he was not “fully up to date” with details regarding the station’s closure, but told SVT “the premises in Kista left a lot to be desired when it comes to the work environment”.

In March, plans to replace Rinkeby’s police station, which closed in 2014, were put on hold because construction companies feared for the safety of their workforce in the majority migrant suburb, which is notorious for gang and gun crime.

They’re not No-Go Zones! They’re Free-Fire Zones! I just hope they’re sharia-compliant. Wouldn’t want to be racist.

 

Next up

 

Congress is pushing for gun-permit, national reciprocity for them, they should do it for all of us.

And what about their staffs? Why limit concealed carry only to congressmen and women?

Other Republican lawmakers are proposing nationwide reciprocity bills for all permit holders. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) is introducing such legislation this week. Reciprocity would make life simpler for permit holders who travel.

I expect it for them, not for us. They don’t really like us after all

 

This we’ve been watching happen for a long time. I’d say people who have California in the We’re Totally Boned pool still have hope, but those with Illinois have to be feeling hopeful.

With just 10 days to go until Illinois enters its third year without a budget, resulting in the state’s imminent downgrade to junk status and potentially culminating in a default for the state whose unpaid bills now surpass $15 billion, Democratic Illinois Comptroller Susana Mendoza issued a warning to Illinois Gov. Rauner and other elected officials on Tuesday, saying in a letter that her office has “very serious concerns” it may no longer be able to guarantee “timely and predictable payments” for some core services.

As we saw a few years ago when they gave out IOUs for lottery winners, they’re still having problem paying out on the most profitable ‘gambling’ deal there is.

Illinois is grappling with a full-fledged financial crisis and not even the lottery is safe – with Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner warning the state is entering “banana republic” territory.

You know how bookies go broke? They get a big hit they weren’t expecting, the lottery doesn’t have that problem as the payout goes up with pay-in, not odds.

The other ways they go broke are if their protection money is really high or the boss’ son comes in and takes the receipts.

In Illinois, they have both of those problems.

 

Let’s laugh at some stuff that’s just too ridiculous to be true. Global Warmmongering!

Settled Science! seems a lot more unsettled than I would expect.

Indeed, only last week the Spectator published an article by one such Pause Denier – a scientist from the University of East Anglia (ground zero of the Climategate scandal), fondly known as the University of Easy Access, named Phil Williamson.

It is titled The Great Myth of the Global Warming Pause and it claims, somewhat imaginatively:

The Paris agreement will be the future, whereas the so-called global-warming hiatus is already history.

And let’s not forget that in the dog days of the Obama administration, alarmist scientists were so desperate to pooh pooh the “Pause” in the run up to the Paris climate talks that they concocted a junk science paper – now the subject of a federal investigation – which used dodgy data to try to airbrush the Pause out of history.

But wait! There’s Still More!!!!!!!!

A scientific consensus has emerged among top mainstream climate scientists that “skeptics” or “lukewarmers” were not long ago derided for suggesting — there was a nearly two-decade long “hiatus” in global warming that climate models failed to accurately predict or replicate.A new paper, led by climate scientist Benjamin Santer, adds to the ever-expanding volume of “hiatus” literature embracing popular arguments advanced by skeptics, and even uses satellite temperature datasets to show reduced atmospheric warming.

More importantly, the paper discusses the failure of climate models to predict or replicate the “slowdown” in early 21st century global temperatures, which was another oft-derided skeptic observation.

You have to love this

“In the early twenty-first century, satellite-derived tropospheric warming trends were generally smaller than trends estimated from a large multi-model ensemble,” reads the abstract of Santer’s paper, which was published Monday.

Can you study the climate and still notice reality? I didn’t think that was allowed.

What’s interesting, though, is Santer and his co-authors say their paper is “unlikely to reconcile the divergent schools of thought regarding the causes of differences between modeled and observed warming rates.”

Translation: This ain’t gonna change shit.

Not that I expected it to, I just like watching lefties notice reality before disappearing or learning not to go against the Consensus.

 

Let’s end on the freude we’re getting the most of these days.

Schaden!

When you look like that because your guy lost a House race perhaps you really need to get a fucking life. Jeez.

Speaking of which. Fakenewswers are sad!

Look at those “journalists” sad about some white guy in Georgia losing to a Wymynz. Why are they such racist misogynists? Haters.

 

Minitrue, after explaining how this was a referendum on Trump is evaluating what happened and, since they’re all reality based and shit, they know what’s to blame!

When they lose it’s not their fault, it’s ours.

Or Theirs. You know, Them.

The Shadow People Who Oppose The Rule Of Tolerance, Justice and Mostly-Peace!.

Below the fold, I’ve been trying to learn how to read lips but for some reason I just can’t concentrate on this one even though I can’t fault the enunciation.  Maybe someone could help me with that.

(more…)

Always a shame. Watching a nervous breakdown, they’re just insane!

 

Let’s start with et tu Ugglay?

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show,” Andrea Mitchell, …” stated that former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s accusation that Americans directed and colluded with Russia to “weaponize information” against her is “basically pointing to the Trump campaign,” a charge where Clinton “doesn’t have the evidence,” and is “drawing a conspiracy theory.”

When Hillary’s lost that hag you know it’s time for the old cankles home.

 

7 jaw dropping revelations From Hearings on the Motion to Dismiss the DNC Fraud Lawsuit and you’re not going believe number 8!

It’s mostly a bunch of stupid lawyer tricks.

The Democrats insist that “impartial” cannot be defined, so the DNC’s impartiality clause is akin to a political promise in that it can not be guaranteed….

. The Democrats’ lawyers take the position that while the Democrats are not legally obligated to conduct the primary fairly, they did, in fact, conduct the 2016 primary fairly.

That’s the crap I dealt with at the Patent Office for 12 years. “You can’t define this easily defined word so it can mean anything!” or “We did this, but even if we didn’t we didn’t have to do it!” “Stop touching that in your office…”, check that last one.

Here’s number 8

On June 1, the three separate law firms representing Sen. Bernie Sanders supporters in the class action lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee and former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz for rigging the primaries filed a notice to the United States Federal Court that alleges “unsolicited direct contact by your client Debbie Wasserman Schultz.”…

After the call ended, a simple Google search of the phone number ‘305-936-5724′ shows that it is the phone number for Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz’ Aventura…

If we had a media instead of a minitrue we might have heard of that in between the screeches on the collapse of the Diet of Worms….Treaty Of Paris.

 

More stuff we might have heard more about if he didn’t have a totally dishonest media.

Judicial Watch today released 2,078 pages of documents revealing more instances of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton sending and receiving classified information via an unsecured email server. They also show Clinton’s daughter Chelsea and others involved with the Clinton Foundation receiving special favors from Huma Abedin, the former secretary’s deputy chief of staff.

This next bit is messed up.

The email instructs her aide Oscar Flores to “print for Bill” (presumably Bill Clinton). The email exchange, which involved allegations of the theft of foreign aid by Bangladeshi banker and major Clinton Foundation donor Muhammad Yunus, started with an email from an unidentified person to State Department official Melanne Verveer, who forwarded her exchange on to Hillary Clinton, who then sent it on to Flores, Cooper and Band.

Jebus, she forwarded classified emails more than my step-mother forwards a Maxine comic.

The golden cow cares not for laws, rules or regulations intended for the little people.

 

A digression From the Barrel of a Gun, while Bruce Campbell is still the man, it’s an “N” word not a “C” word.

No Bill, not that “N” word you ignorant fool.

Many didn’t take it that way. “He said ‘n—er’ with a HARD ASS Rrrrrrrrrruh, so that makes this extra offensive,” said The Root writer Monique Judge, who added: “His show needs to be canceled.”

Fire him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Social Justice Demands It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Let’s get left eating left! For Social Justice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

More Elites Who Elite From The Elitiest Of Elite Elites! (it don’t get more elite than that!)

Let’s see, idiotic history, stupidly false equivalence, any other logical and factual fallacies in that short tweet from the History Chair of the Elitest Of The Elite Universities!? Surely we need to let these people tell us what to do! They’re all elite and educated and shit. (but mostly shit)

 

If you have to subsidize something for decades, maybe that’s a sign it’s not economically viable?

scrutiny of the billions of dollars in tax subsidies Tesla, SolarCity, and other Musk companies have received over the last decade.

The Heritage Foundation’s Stephen Moore called the “green-energy” tax credits Musk and his companies have benefited from “low-hanging” fruit that could help Republicans offset plans to lower the corporate rate, estimating there could be $150 billion in savings over 10 years by ending them.

All those burning and polluting Tesla batteries are bad for Gaia and living things! Won’t someone please think of the children and ban them? He’s hurting America with every poisoned landfill!

But think about that, $150 billion is $150 million each from 1,000 people. Or…almost $500 from each and every American, from new-borns to almost dead.

No wonder Musk is a billionaire, it’s easy when you get the gov’t the give it to you.

And you people should be embarrassed, we could have started our windmill-powered airplanes and siphoned a few $billion out of Obama and we would have it instead of that anti-American asshole, Musk, but no. You made fun of me. He’s a billionaire doing stuff that’s even more ridiculous, 50 years of subsidies is proof it’s not economically viable, and yet, he’s a billionaire and I’m going to live in a trailer. TANJ.

 

Speaking of hating haters who hate Gaia, California!

When neighbors in the southern San Luis Obispo County town of 17,000 saw bunks being moved into one of the newly constructed houses, anger erupted. Meetings were held, fingers were pointed and death threats were hurled at the Frances.

On April 6, 2016, flames devoured one of the unfinished homes, not yet wired for electricity. Investigators almost immediately concluded it was arson…

Increasingly fond of locally grown produce, Californians are far less enthusiastic about locally housed farmworkers. They have deployed lawsuits, hastily written regulations — and, apparently, the torch — to segregate thousands of seasonal workers to seedy roadside hotels and crowded housing in cities where affordable shelter is already limited.

They want you to grow stuff in their backyard but they don’t actually want to see the people who grow it.

 

Stop Leaking You Assholes.

“The shit is about to go down in Raqqa,” one official said, speaking under condition of anonymity. “I would expect to see the assault begin in the coming days.”

While the Pentagon is not saying publicly when the offensive will kick off…

I get it, for 8 years Obama had you tell our enemies every move we made, but our current POTUS is rooting for America. Stop that shit.

 

This might be a ray of hope in an otherwise gloomy post.

Just over 30 years after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, which saw Belarus lose a quarter of its territory due to nuclear contamination, the former Soviet republic is set to see its first nuclear power station enter operation in one and a half year’s time from now…

In August last year, news emerged that a crane had dropped the 330 tonne heavy reactor from a height of 4 metres during a test lift. If dropping a nuclear reactor was not bad enough in itself, the Belarusian authorities’ attempts to deny or otherwise keep silent on the matter for weeks…

Russian state-owned company Rosatom, the nuclear plant’s main contractor, is complicit in playing the “silent game” by first denying that the accident caused any damage to the reactor shell, only to change its story afterwards by offering to replace the shell. Adding to the concerns was another incident in February 2017, whereby the second reactor hit a power pillar during transport…

A major problem thus far is that the Belarusian authorities limited the scope of the IAEA’s mission only to an assessment of the plant design’s safety.

Lithuania is right across the border, they’re probably not happy about that.

More 80s redux.

Mao Zedong could follow what the “tank man” did. A small, unexceptional figure in slacks and white shirt, carrying what looks to be his shopping, posts himself before an approaching tank, with a line of 17 more tanks behind it. The tank swerves right; he, to block it, moves left. The tank swerves left; he moves right. Then this anonymous bystander clambers up onto the vehicle of war and says something to its driver, which comes down to us as: “Why are you here? My city is in chaos because of you.” One lone Everyman standing up to machinery, to force, to all the massed weight of the People’s Republic–

Sure, celebrate him, but remember that he was killed by murderous commie dictators.

Nobody knows what happened to him even one hour after his moment in the world’s living rooms.

Sure, all the Right People are claiming we don’t know what happened to him but anybody with a brain knows he died a horrible death, tortured to death by angry, murderous, commie dictators.

Well, anybody with a brain who isn’t a sucker of murderous, commie, dictator cock.

 

One thing, you realize what that means? There’s a good chance we’re in the 80s now and not the worst of the 90s!

Oh shit, does that mean Flock of Seagulls is going to have a reunion tour? Eh, you take the good with the Eujizmics.

 

Little bit of historical current events.

Surprise, surprise, another inmate released from the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba has been arrested for reengaging in terrorism…

It took a few centuries by I guess the Moslems finally won the Siege of Vienna.

I can’t wait to hear about how Amsterdam doesn’t have a red-light district anymore because of hating haters on the Far Right!!!!!!!!!

 

Trum-Trum-Trumpius!

The Roman Emperor Claudius, who reigned from 41 to 54 AD, was never supposed to be emperor. He came to office at age 50, an old man in Roman times. Claudius succeeded the charismatic, youthful heartthrob Caligula..

Trump followed Little Liar not Little Boots, but still.

… new Caesars—who claimed direct lineage from the “divine” Augustus—were usually rubber-stamped by the toadyish Senate. However, the outsider Claudius (who had no political training and was prevented by his uncle Tiberius from entering the cursus honorum), was brought into power by the Roman Praetorian Guard, who wanted a change from the status quo apparat of the Augustan dynasty.

I’ve never been called a Praetorian before, but I like it.

The court biographer Suetonius wrote that Claudius “was now careful and shrewd, sometimes hasty and inconsiderate, occasionally silly and like a crazy man.”…

Roman intellectuals hated Claudius, who hit back blow-for-blow at them for their slights and snark, and showed no mercy to plotters and conspiracists.

He’s just not of the right sort. New money don’t you know.

RTWT, he really lays it out well.

If Melania or Ivanka go all Messalina, I want vids.

 

Related to the Stupid Lawyer Tricks above,

There is no constitutional right to marry a laptop, the Utah Attorney General’s Office said in a new court filing…

Chris Sevier sued the state of Utah, arguing that if same-sex marriage is legal he should be allowed to marry his computer. He recently amended his lawsuit to include John Gunter, Jr., and Whitney Kohl, who are arguing for the right to enter into a polygamous marriage.

I’m in favor of that, I’m sick of living in sin with my computer.

“These claims are untenable as a matter of law because Plaintiffs lack standing to bring these claims and the right to marry has not been indefinitely expanded, nor should it be. Simply put, marrying a laptop computer or multiple partners are not rights protected by the Constitution.”

Yeah about that. Why is it marrying multiple partners against the Constitution? I’m pretty sure it’s allowed in the Commerce clause and I’m absolutely sure it’s in the pursuit of happiness clause.

 

Life imitates Futurama (again!)

As part of an exhibition to mark the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, a church in Wittenberg, Germany, has unveiled what it calls a “robot priest,” a machine that emits lights from its outstretched hands and dispenses blessings in five languages. The robot, called BlessU-2…

New Hotness!

 

 

As we boggle at dueling realities, listen to the Soothing Sounds of Social Justice

Via Zilla, who posts less than I do and probably has more readers and surely more commenters. I’d take it personally but I have a low opinion of people.

I had a bunch of these from yesterday but everybody’s posted some of them. Like the Evergreen deal that is lefties freaking out over people noticing their previous freaking out.

Oh well, let’s see if I can salvage any others.

 

More Anonymous Sources Telling Us What Trump Says When They’re Not In The Room!!!!!! The Gold Standard Of Journalism!

 

Man, this NYT piece has enough juicy morsels to satisfy the most Trump-loving nationalist or the most Trump-hating Democrat. Their nexus: Contempt for Prince Jared, who’s suddenly out of favor within the inner circle. And not just because of his Russia follies.

He can’t be fired, of course, as he’s part of the family. The only solution is to exile him and have Ivanka unite the continent by marrying Justin Trudeau.

Gold is yellow after all.

Dougm had the Mattis vid from yesterday and adds this vid with this Harris Faulkner question

If it is in fact true that Jared Kurchner (tried to set up a back channel)… wouldn’t that signify that there is no collusion? Why would you need a back-channel if you already have collusion?

She’s one of the last real journalists in this world. I’m still pissed off for her that she has to say, “Megan McCain, what do you think?” at least once a day. That’s just cruel.

 

You have to love people like this.

But Republicans in the age of Trump have sadly moved away from morality as a viable concept.

Yes, Gianforte’s assault is a glaring display of toxic masculinity in an environment made particularly toxic by the man in the White House and his media bullying

Wait, no you don’t. You should point, laugh and shun them.

We’ve been taking shit from you and your favored groups for 10 years now Mr Blow, you might want to ask yourself why much of America shrugged and some even chuckled when they heard a GOP candidate body-slammed a ‘journalist’. You really should ask yourself that question. And then maybe tone down all the cheerleading for anti-fa thuggles.

 

Trump’s trolling China now.

That’s funny. “Your bitch is making you their bitch but it’s not your fault you’re all weak and shit.”

 

When I first saw this I thought Putin would be saying, “Hey! That’s my schtick!”

Mystery as two North Koreans are found dead in the same Moscow hotel after BOTH suffering ‘acute heart failure’ as two more are rushed to hospital

But then I started to wonder if Putin did it. I doubt we’ll ever know who did it.

There’s a lot of shit going on between Russia, China and the Norks that we have now idea of. It’s hard for them to work together since Russia and China have never been friendly and the Chinese can use Nork craziness for their plausible deniability against Putin just as well as us.

 

A question that appears fairly obvious to me. And fucking annoying.

What Happens After ISIS Goes Underground

A little history, ISIS branched off from al Quaeda and became a country. They are a strong horse even as we’re beating their asses.

So what happens is that ISIS starts doing what al Quaeda used to do, what ISIS is doing better (worse) than al Quaeda ever did. They’re getting crazy people all over the world to blow up their part of the world and any nearby infidels or insufficiently similar Muslims.

This should go without saying, but it’s all Trump’s fault because of his hateful rhetoric.

 

In Breaking Bombshell News!!!!!!!!!!

The U.S. government is expanding a cybersecurity program that scans Internet traffic headed into and out of defense contractors to include far more of the country’s private, civilian-run infrastructure.

As a result, more private sector employees than ever before, including those at big banks, utilities and key transportation companies, will have their emails and Web surfing scanned as a precaution against cyber attacks.

Oh wait, that was from March, 2013.

Well this is Breaking Bombshell News!!!!!!!!!!!!

Had the Senate Intelligence Committee been permitted to use pseudonyms for the central characters in its report, as all previous congressional studies of intelligence failures, including the widely heralded Church Committee report in 1975, have done, it might not have taken a painstaking, and still somewhat cryptic, investigation after the fact in order for the American public to hold this senior official accountable. Many people who have worked with her over the years expressed shock to NBC that she has been entrusted with so much power. A former intelligence officer who worked directly with her is quoted by NBC, on background, as saying that she bears so much responsibility for so many intelligence failures that “she should be put on trial and put in jail for what she has done.”

Instead, however, she has been promoted to the rank of a general in the military, most recently working as the head of the C.I.A.’s global-jihad unit.

Oh wait, that was December 2014.

This one, This One is Breaking Bombshell News!!!!!!!!!!

A federal judge on Monday ruled that the government’s collection of data on all U.S. phone calls is likely unconstitutional, comparing the National Security Agency (NSA) program to George Orwell’s 1984.

Judge Richard Leon of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., granted a request from conservative activist Larry Klayman to block the NSA’s phone data collection

Oh wait, that’s from December, 2013 and since it was a judge telling Obama what to do, it meant absolutely nothing.

 

Isn’t there any Bombshell Breaking News!!!!!!!!!! that’s not old, lies and/or from anonymous sources?

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Liberals Are Shocked That We’re Starting To Hate Them Back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We conservatives have been warning for a long time that liberals are not going to like it when everyone plays by the new rules, and – surprise! – they don’t. But guess what? Most of us don’t like the new rules either. Yet it’s ridiculous to expect human beings to remain in perpetual denial about the situation they face, and to forever live under a double standard that results in their faces getting pressed into the dirt.

The hypocrisy has become intolerable, and we have stopped tolerating it. This is just the beginning of the reaction, and – make no mistake – this entire situation is a bad thing. Our society is making choices that can lead only to ruin (and my new novel describing the consequences just dropped).

But we’re the Washington Generals in the long-running movie, Their Reality.

We’re supposed to oppose them and then run away when they bang their sippy cups extra hard. It’s as if we haven’t read the script!

We’ve warned them and warned them but they didn’t pay attention. They were too busy trying to hide violence from lefties while trying to blame their violence on The Right! Like the violence at Trump Rallies.

 

In I  NY news, Safe Act Too!! This Time It’s Even Saferer!!

The prohibition would apply to pistols or revolvers manufactured twelve or more months after the effective date of the bill. Design features could include the capacity to adjust the trigger resistance of the gun to at least a ten pound pull, the capacity to alter the firing mechanism so- that an average five year old child’s hand would be too small to operate the gun, or the capacity to require a series of multiple motions in order to fire the gun.

Why 10 lbs? Because it’s Science!!!!!!!!!!! How big is an “average five year old child’s hand”? Oh, we’ll let the lawyers figure that one out! And if you’re a gun maker with deep pockets, I’m gonna guess your dimensions for an average five year old child’s hand will vary somewhat from a cash-strapped NY jurisdiction’s dimensions.

What does “series of multiple motions” mean? Again, we’ll let lawyers siphon money off of gun makers….figure that out!

Now, it’s never smart to assume any brains by any NY pol, beyond the cunning required to convince a little old lady that she needs to fix her gutters and if she gives you $5k today, you’ll take care of it tomorrow, but is this a way to make it so nobody can sell guns in NY?

California and Mass guns are tough enough, having to figure out what they mean and then make them for one, niche market, well, that’s just stupid.

And of course the police will be exempt. Because in Dem fiefs their serfs deserve fewer rights.

 

Nothing major, just lefty eating lefty at lefty event.

Filmmaker Sofia Coppola has become the first women since 1961 to win Cannes Film Festival’s Directing Prize.

You would have thought Coppola’s award- for her female-centric remake of 1971 civil war drama The Beguiled which starred Clint Eastwood- would generate widespread applause on social media given the fact she is an outspoken feminist and all the attention paid to the perceived under-representation of women directors at Cannes in recent years.

You might think that, but today’s left isn’t really known for making any sort of sense. Even by their own rules.

 

The plot of the movie-a wounded Union soldier who takes refuge an all-female Southern boarding school during the Civil War- doesn’t immediately evoke an aura of white privilege.

I hate to break it to you HeatStreet dude, but the Civil War is the definition of White Privilege. Even the Union Soldiers. Even the Union Soldiers who signed up exclusively to fight slavery. Geez, it’s as if he doesn’t read the NY Times or watch CNN.

Sofia Coppola’s new movie feels like she was just like “how can I possibly fit the largest number of skinny blond white women in this?”

Most importantly, it wasn’t R rated, so it’s probably not worth watching. They’re  fully clothed, skinny blond white women. Not a boob or tasteful lezbo scene anywhere.

Can’t we judge people by the content of their character instead of the color of their skin?

I know, that’s all racist and shit. But I’m kind of a recidivist.

I do look forward to the porn version of it. I wonder what they’ll call it, the Defiled maybe?

 

imadenier wished for a kaganer gnome, not realizing that, since gnomes have jumped the sharks, there is a gnome for every occasion.

I’m a little unsure if I should have helped him.

I have to wonder if he lives near this poor woman

For Martha Horne, the rotund faces and pointy red hats of her cherished garden gnomes always brought a smile.

The Leduc grandmother was heartbroken when, one stormy night last week, three of the plump dwarves were stolen from her front lawn.

It doesn’t say if she had any kaganer, Star Trek or Pulp Fiction gnomes, but I still wonder.

I will say it’s funny how often rule 34 wins.

Garden Gnome Gangbang was actually the least objectionable gnome porn I could find. Amazon even has at least one gnome sticking Little Pointy out.

Semi-related,

news broke on Monday that Pornhub is reporting a rise in searches for fidget spinner-related erotica on its website,

Fidget spinner porn.

Fidget spinner porn?

Fidget spinner porn!

 

Let’s end on a little bit of awesome.

“Reality” is winning on points, but sooner or later reality will stage a comeback. Sorta like how it took a few decades before the reality that the Roman Empire had fallen was obvious to everybody.

First, I’m gonna disagree on this.
https://twitter.com/Fabian__LH/status/855469366346993664

 

That’s not irony, that’s reality. Socialism always costs more than free enterprise. It’s just axiomatic.

The comment are funny too. Some people get very upset when you make fun of their religion.

 

Why didn’t we hear about this until now?

A federal grand jury provided FBI agents with subpoenas to inspect Hillary Clinton’s BlackBerry devices last year, court papers provided to Judicial Watch show.

And what happened to that issue?

The subpoenas “produced no responsive materials, as the requested data was outside the retention time utilized by those providers,”

Buried. Notice they were “outside the retention time”. In other words, the FBI worded the subpoenas so narrowly that anything not from a certain window (probably 2/1/15 3pm-2/1/15 3:05PM would be my guess) so that they could ignore what they found.

Lest we forget, the DO”J” is full of a bunch of lawless assholes and they made the FBI into Hillary’s Bitches.

 

Some people just refuse to accept reality.

Obamacare overhaul similarly fails, no honest analyst will be able to blame conservatives. Blame will belong wholly to centrist Republicans…

In every election campaign since 2010, every Republican has pledged to repeal Obamacare. Since Republicans rode that promise to a House majority that year, the House has voted more than 90 times for repeal (symbolic votes, all, under President Barack Obama). Now the Freedom Caucus has announced its support for an amended repeal bill, Republicans are closer than ever to finally delivering on their promise. It relies only on centrists to rejoin their party on this crucial issue for which the voters put them in office.

“Centrists” are just members in good standing of the We’re Better And Smarter Than You party. They do not want to lose the power over us that Obamacare gives them. If they don’t control our lives, they cannot demand bribes and kickbacks on how they dole out our rights.

The GOP has lied to us. It’s much harder to keep Obamacare going than to get rid of it. So they’re busy making sure it does not go away.

Our best hope is the GOP fucks us again so Trump just undoes all the memoes, phone calls and executive orders Obama did to keep it from imploding.

 

I watched Shep for a few minutes the other day, he was talking about Venezuela and he acted as if the protestors were getting violent. He showed them in Gas Masks!!!!!!!!! but he called them, “Masks”, as in, “Protestors wearing masks!!!!!!” and then a few images of violent protestors building barricades.

Then he showed gov’t folks shooting tear gas into the crowds. Shep did not notice or mention that maybe, just fucking maybe Shep you leftist piece of shit, the protestors were wearing those “masks” because the murderous forces of the murderous dictator/nee secret policeman were murdering protestors!

Repression in Caracas on Wednesday was probably the worst in three weeks of protests. While usually satisfied with choking us but allowing us some margin of movement, this time they used enough tear gas to make us reconsider coming back, or prevent a gathering altogether.

Yesterday, Juan Pablo Pernalete Llovera, a 20-year old student, was murdered. A tear gas canister hit him in the chest as he protested in Altamira and, sadly, he arrived at Salud Chacao with no vital signs.

Nah. To the piece of shit leftists in Minitrue (hey Shep!), the forces of a socialist gov’t are ‘good’, protestors against them are ‘bad’.

When they don’t ignore it. Venezuela is exploding and it was blatantly obvious that it was going to happen to everyone except our Elites!, cuz they’re idiots.

 

Mister We Could Use A Man Like Phillip Of Macedon Again!

Protesters have stormed the parliament of the Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia, and assaulted the leader of the Social Democrats in a bid to stop the formation of a new government.

See, they’re thinking.

I wonder how long until that happens here and how Minitrue will blame me when it’s masked leftists doing it. Most righties will just ignore them. There is no rule of law, why pretend we still have it and act as if Congress is important? Only our imperial judiciary and Trump matter right now. Congress has spent the last decades abdicating their responsibilities, ever since Clinton’s impeachment when they realized the media was more powerful.

 

Okay, I don’t know French attitudes, but this makes me laugh. Macron is the far leftist left in the race against the FAR RIGHT HATER!!!!! LePen.

 

“In the next three months after I am elected, there will be a decision on Poland,” Macron told reporters of several regional French newspapers including Ouest-France. “You cannot have a European Union which argues over every single decimal place on the issue of budgets with each country, and which, when you have an EU member which acts like Poland or Hungary on issues linked to universities and learning, or refugees, or fundamental values, decides to do nothing.”
Macron’s comment indicates the staunchly pro-EU candidate, who promises to reassert France’s leading position within the bloc and play an integral role in shaping its future, will actively enforce the bloc’s democratic liberal values at a time when EU leaders are faced with reshaping and shoring up solidarity within the union pre-Brexit.

That’s probably a winner, the EU was supposed to be a way for France to rule Europe, they can’t allow them lowlife Poles and Hungarians to think they control their countries!

Recall, the Hungarians are not allowing Muslim refugees in their country. They even respond to violence with violence! All right thinking people know that you don’t counter violence with violence! You figure out how you angered the poor-downtrodden people and appease them. Unless they’re not an approved lefty group, then you crush them.

 

Okay, I’d say this is a loser.

The National Front’s history of anti-Semitism intruded on the French election campaign again on Friday as polls suggested front-runner Emmanuel Macron’s 20-point lead may be narrowing a touch.

Marine Le Pen’s far-right party forced acting president Jean-Francois Jalkh to step aside after comments from 17 years ago questioning the Holocaust resurfaced in the French media,

If there’s one thing most French don’t care about it’s who hates the people from That Shitty Little Country. It is pretty funny that the lefties who hate Jews as much as most Arabs are acting all, “Oooh, look at the anti-Semitism!”

 

Speaking of Nazis, I think I found the original maker of Billy Bier.

once was an actual Hitler of shithead relatives — and no, not that one, either. In a quirky twist of fate, the Universe saddled even that goose-stepping genocidal maniac with a slimy, opportunistic, clingy black sheep to ruin his Christmases: Adolf’s “loathsome nephew,” Willy Hitler…

On the strength of his last name alone, Willy gained access to all the parties, women, and cocktail shrimp Berlin had to offer. It was wild. Gaggles of Hitler groupies lined up for the chance to get their Aryan mitts on Willy’s little willy. On the family side, however, things weren’t going too great. Dissatisfied with his crappy job at the bank, Willy asked Uncle Adolf to help him get a better grip on those evil coattails of his. It was around this time that the fuhrer starting referring to Willy as “my loathsome nephew” and accusing him of trying to “climb on my back.”

Sounds like a cross between Billy Carter and Roger Clinton.

 

This is fucked up. I’m not sure who the players are, I do know the TWP are white nationalists but I don’t know anything else about them and I’m not sure if Anti-fa are involved or just mentioned later on. Since the organizers for the rally are all Dems, I’m gonna guess they’re not anti-fascist, just anti-other-people’s-fascists. Like in Iraq how Sunnis liked Sunni terrorists and Shiites liked Shiite terrorists.

Organizers began planning the Rally for Equality and American Values at the University of Pikeville back in February, almost as soon as the Traditionalist Worker Party announced its intention to converge on Pikeville for a rally.

In a statement posted to the group’s Facebook event page shortly before 4:30 today, organizer Ariana Velasquez said organizers unanimously decided to postpone the event, after consulting with law enforcement, public officials and university administration.

In the statement, she said “unforeseen credible threats” forced the decision to cancel in order to protect the safety of participants.

I do have high hopes for this though.

“The TWP has become expert in obeying the letter of the law while getting as close as possible to inciting violence. The ARA and ANTIFA will stand nose to nose with the TWP in an attempt to shout them down. Unfortunately, they may also be planning a more violent conflict.

Now if we could just get the Westoro Baptist FreakShow to get involved we could have some guilt-free violence to watch. Watching nazis beat fascists is hilarious.

 

Has anybody heard about this?

An American paramedic working with a security watchdog in eastern Ukraine has been killed after the vehicle he was in drove over a mine.

The US citizen, who has not been named, was part of a patrol involved in the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe’s (OSCE) Special Monitoring mission in the country.

Two other monitors, a German and a Czech, were injured in the blast, near Luhansk. It has led US officials to call for a ‘full, transparent investigation’.

 

Why haven’t we heard of an American being killed by Tsar Putin I’s cossacks?

But since signing deal the sides appear stuck in a stalemate broken periodically by sharp resurgences of fighting that Kiev and the Kremlin accuse each other of instigating.

Tillerson told Poroshenko that although Washington wanted better ties with Moscow, ‘Russia´s actions in eastern Ukraine remain an obstacle’.

On Monday Russia’s deputy foreign minister, Sergei Ryabkov, also called for an investigation to be conducted into the explosion.

Oh, the Russians are going to investigate!

We could lend them some of our crack FBI agents from the Hillary Task Force!!!!, they’re good at covering up crimes.

 

Canada is getting a look at the reality that is their place in the world.

Nobody’s going to invade Canada unless they’re already at war with us, but Canada cannot project power and Russia wants the oil under Arctic ice that Canada wants.

Guess who’s most likely going to get it?

Russia unveils its newest Arctic base

Russia has unveiled a new military base as part of its buildup in the Arctic region, and has provided a tour — albeit a virtual one on your computer.

The tsar willing to go to war to get it. Canada surely isn’t.

Funny, what with their problems with illegal immigration and now a warlike neighbor, they could use a Trump. But they have a Kelso.

 

The reality of the state of politics in America.

A two-bit political gadfly named Thomas Lopez-Pierre has been running for City Council on an outrageous platform that calls for stopping “greedy Jewish landlords” from committing “ethnic cleansing” against blacks.

Yawn. Typical Democrat so far.

as Jewish groups and leaders demanded he be booted out of the Democratic Party.

Wait, why? Isn’t that the official Democrat Party Platform? Black Lives Matter, not zionist lives.

Here’s where I wonder if he’s planning on joining the GOP.

In the midst of this firestorm a GoFundMe called “Stop Thomas Lopez-Pierre Hate Campaign” suddenly popped up and was so successful, it raised $5,781.

But anyone who donated hoping to actually stop Lopez-Pierre is going to be sorely disappointed — because the page was created by the candidate himself to scam money from his foes.

“I call it bait and switch,” Lopez-Pierre actually bragged to The Post.

“I intend to use the money to pay for my marketing expenses. The people who are doing this [donating] oppose me. I thank them for their support.”

How is that different from winning election after election and raking in $millions in donations precisely to repeal Obamacare and then not repealing Obamacare? How about how they boned us on illegal immigration?

So a Dem platform with GOP tactics. A Centrist!

 

I’m all for this.

And now the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has examined what happens to the data that’s collected from students using technology in the classroom. They released the results of an extensive survey covering students in grades K-12.

What they found was that little work has been done to protect the privacy of the student information that is collected from both the classroom and from using the online software the schools issue for use at home on the students’ own devices. They found that while many school districts have embraced technology and all of the benefits it can bring to the schools and students, often little thought has been given to one of the unintended consequences of this: the students’ privacy.

School is for learning. Let them learn what their betters think of them. Right now, they seem to think our fine betters give a shit about them. That’s a dangerous belief. Our betters only care about our voting for them, sending them money and shutting the fuck up.

 

Speaking of schools and learning, is Duke actually going to stop going all in on social justice and SCIENCE!!!!!! and actually do some science?

We have another study from Duke University that shows groundwater isn’t being polluted by fracking, despite the cries from the environmentalists that the process, which is used to tap into natural gas resources. It’s been the crux of their narrative against this sector of the economy that’s rapidly growing throughout the country. The study was three years in the making, peer reviewed, and was recently published in the European journal Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta.

 

Heretics! Burn them! They do have to state the obvious to try to keep up their SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!! cred.

They did say that surface water might be impacted due to spills:

So what you’re saying is that spilling oil on the ground means there will be oil on the ground and it could run into waterways that go through the ground? The deuce you say!

 

Macauley Culkins parents are the scum of the Earth and should be jailed, at least, for what they did to their kid.

If, like so many pop fans, you have always yearned to see a three-minute music video that brings together Bill Clinton, Garfield’s cartoon owner Jon Arbuckle and a Viagra-taking George Washington wearing a virtual reality headset, then your agonizing wait is finally over…

The video features the founding father apparently pleasuring himself to the vision of Kurt Cobain—played by Macaulay Culkin—being whipped, nailed to a cross and declared “King of the Cucks.”

 

Poor bastid. First his parents took all his money and then they sold him to Michael Jackson. So sad.

 

Road Trip?

Sheela-na-gigs are carvings of naked, old women exposing an exaggerated vulva.

More than 110 Sheela-na-gigs have been found in Ireland…

Heritage Ireland mapped the location of every sculpture in the country using National Monument data.

Vulvoyage!

 

At least, unlike the Mona Lisa, we know why she’s smiling.

 

Sometimes things that seem so brilliant are the opposite.

Police say an Ohio man called 911 to request a police dog to help track down heroin allegedly stolen from him.

That epitomizes the sentiment most people have had, “It seemed like a good idea at the time!”

 

I did this with a 72 Chevelle Malibu and a dumpster instead of a bicycle and a wall.
https://twitter.com/ffsStudge/status/856567204996841472
The girl bending over into her car turned around just as I hit the dumpster at about 5mph. I didn’t get her number.

And everything new is still getting pretty fucking old.

I’m ignoring The Election Was Hacked By Russia For Trump!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! shit, that’s getting very old.

I’m also ignoring, “Trump Lied About Wiretapping!!!!!!!!! Well, sure, his peeps were listened in on, but it was INADVERTENT!!!!! and not a Wiretap!”

Because the blatant and open dishonesty is just too much to take in. I’m mostly wondering how much of America is looking at all the media’s contortions (I’m looking at you Foxnews) to try to make Trump look like the liar by lying about him.

The only question I have is what they’re calling Journolist these days. I do know the Journolist Words Of The Day were “inadvertent” and “incidental”.

 

I hit “Post” and then pulled it back because I forgot this.

This is getting old. My bougainvillea is still watching me.

 

I’m just trying to read my dam book and this sucker keeps staring at me!

 

Now this shit is getting pretty old.

Terrorist Worked Alone!!!!!!!

British Prime Minister,Theresa May, speaking in the House of Commons, said that the man who carried out Wednesday’s terrorist attack in Westminster “acted alone.”...

Police investigating the crime have now made eight arrests in raids in Birmingham and London:“The inquiries in Birmingham, London and other parts of the country are continuing. It is still our belief, which continues to be borne out by our investigation, that this attacker acted alone and was inspired by international terrorism.

So he worked alone with these people spread across Akbar Britain and the rest of the world.

That word “alone” apparently has changed its meaning in the 21st century, when applied to Islamic terrorists.

 

Hypocritical, Intolerant Canucks are getting very fucking old.

Officials in the Manitoba border town of Emerson say some residents are starting to get a little annoyed with how asylum-seekers are behaving when they arrive in the community.

Reeve Greg Janzen says nine or more people who illegally crossed the border walked into town early Tuesday morning.

He tells CTV Winnipeg that one group of three people started ringing doorbells at 4 a.m. at a house in town, looking for help.

He says on Sunday morning, another group of six was knocking on doors and looking into a window, characterizing the behaviour as “a little rude.”

You should be more tolerant and welcoming! They’re just trying to make a better life for themselves and their country they’re entering illegally!

I do love the title, “Reeve”, it always reminds me of Dan Aykroyd

Dickface!

 

Tsarism! It’s not old, it’s new!

Nikolai Gorokhov, a lawyer representing the family of a Russian whistleblower, was reportedly thrown out of the fourth floor of his Moscow apartment building on Tuesday — a day before the 53-year-old was due to appear in court regarding a contentious corruption case.

Obama has to be jealous, he had all that picky Rule of Law shit to get around, murdering whistleblowers is tougher here. Even Clintons have to be careful about that.

 

The battle for Mosul is going as expected. The terrorists are hiding among civilians courting civilian casualties is very old, so why are we bombing from on high? What could go wrong!

The US-led coalition fighting the Islamic State group says it is investigating reports of an airstrike in a western Mosul neighborhood that allegedly left more than 100 civilians dead.

Residents of the Iraqi city’s neighborhood known as Mosul Jidideh told an Associated Press team at the scene that scores of residents are believed to have been killed by a pair of airstrikes that hit a cluster of homes in the area earlier this month.

Oh.

 

Let’s do some slimy American politician news.

Where are we in our revolt?

Our betters surely think it’s getting old.

I don’t think the GOP is going to manage that. It’s been far too obvious that our fine GOP betters are not interested in getting rid of Obamacare so blaming the people who are trying to save us from the gov’t controlling our entire lives is a tough sell.

 

But Trump doesn’t need Congress to even act.

Small businesses are pleading the Trump administration to delay an onerous Obama-era regulation requiring calorie labeling on menus, violations of which can carry jail time for mislabeling food.

Jail Time for mislabeling food? Jebus.

But that’s not the point.

All Trump has to do is just Executively Order Obamacare away.

Obama had to keep writing memos, orders and calling bureaucrats to get it to work. If Trump just undoes all that illegal changing of a law, it would go away.

Look at how much they illegally delayed to help Dems get elected, or at least, get Obama re-elected

He could also just give waivers to all of America.

That fucking law was all about stupidity and unConstitutionality, getting rid of it should be easy. Hell, I’d love to see the Supreme Court explain how Obama giving waivers to the politically connected is fine but Trump giving waivers to the non-politically connected is verboten!

 

Now, there are places with more corrupt pols, but there are none with pols any slimier and more open about their corruption and sliminess than NY pols. What’s funny is that the NY Post seems to be trying to pretend this very old corruption is all new and shit.

Will Any Scandal  put an end to NY pols’ shadowy-spending ways? asks the NY Post.

Kudos to Citizens Union for pointing out that Gov. Cuomo’s budget plan includes $13.8 billion in shadowy spending — nearly a tenth of the total $152.3 billion plan.

The watchdog group’s “Spending in the Shadows” report flags outlays that face little or no public scrutiny — including for some programs that resemble the Buffalo Billion projects that now have several Cuomo ex-associates facing federal corruption charges, and/or the funds key to the corruption that earned ex-Assembly Speaker Shelly Silver his long federal prison sentence.

The hallmark of all NY budgets

The budget includes $9.5 billion in “economic development” funds, which face minimal oversight and are notorious for abuse.

 

Slush funds for paying off connected contributors are required. Notorious for abuse is NY Speak for “Business as Usual”.

With this Evergreen Quote!!!!!!

Yes, both chambers of the Legislature have ideas for greater transparency in (Cuomo-controlled) economic-development spending. The gov, meanwhile, has proposals for more sunlight on the lawmakers’ pork.

Arf Arf Arf!!!! Slap! Slap! Slap! Honk! Honk! Honk!

They’re GOING TO DO SOMETHING!!!!!! THEY’RE GETTING HARUMPHS FROM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To answer the original question, No, it won’t. We’ve been watching their corrupt negotiations going on in the pages of the NY Times and the Albany Times Useless for decades and the only thing that’s changed is the names.

 

Chicago might be more corrupt, but since a Clintonista took power, they’re chasing NY’s sliminess.

This article is hilarious in its obtusity. As if everything old is suddenly new.

A rock has been turned over in Chicago, and all kinds of revelations are scattering out.

Bill Ruthhart and Hal Dardick report in the Chicago Tribune:

Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s personal email accounts

What is it with Clintonistas and email?

have served as a private avenue of influence where executives and investors sought favorable action from City Hall,

The deuce you say! You mean a Chicago pol sells infuence?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

raising questions about whether some of the messages crossed the line into lobbying and violated the city’s ethics law, the Chicago Tribune has found.

Wait, Chicago has ethics laws?

Now that’s something new!

Wait, no it isn’t. That’s the price vice pays to fool the idiots who believe what people say instead of what they do.

 

Speaking of Clintonistas, let’s see what’s going on in Corruptocrat Land.

 

I bet a dollar it’s titled, “All About Sex! How The GOP Held A Nation Hostage!”

The scripted anthology series will focus on US Presidents, according to an announcement by the channel. One of the first projects in development? The 1998 to 1999 impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton, covering his affair with Monica Lewinsky, how the Clinton family dealt with the fallout, and the secret back-channel negotiations between the White House and Congress.

We all know the bad guy, Newt.

 

This should be titled “Wishful Thinking“.

The studious interest in Chelsea’s next move is understandable coming from the right, which has always hated the Clintons and no doubt welcomes the distraction Chelsea offers from the president’s dismal approval ratings and damning intelligence hearings. Bill, Hillary and Chelsea have long been enthusiasm-boosters for the Republicans, and they’re reluctant to give them up.

 

I’m a Clinton-Hater from way back but the most I can work up for that sad, colorless, drab scion is amused contempt. Note to the LA Times, it’s Democrats who are pushing her. It’s conservatives who are pointing and laughing. It’s GOP establishment pricks who are looking forward to another Clinton to fundraise on, it’s their comfort zone.

But the laser-focused Chelsea vitriol is perplexing when it comes from the left. Shouldn’t such first-daughter hatred be reserved for Ivanka? Wouldn’t their attention be better spent on potential 2018 and 2020 candidates who have already declared their interest? Aren’t there bigger battles to fight — and aren’t they glad that such a prominent Democratic figure is registering her dissent with the current administration?

Nobody who hasn’t been forced to work with her cares enough about her to hate her.

 

Let’s end on one of my pet peeves, where everything old is new, then old, then new, then old, then new, then…..

Butter, eggs, salt, bacon, coffee, olive oil and more have been good for you, bad for you, good for you, bad for you, good for you, bad for you…

Like eggs, which many people had virtually banished from their diets, cheese is well on its way to being rehabilitated as a “good” nutrient rich food. Along with a slew of other nutrition nonsense we’ve been fed constantly over the years by “experts” and government agencies doing their bidding this too will end up being completely debunked. Butter? Coconut oil? Red meat? None of them are actually “bad” for you at all.

 

That’s old and yet people keep ‘noticing’ it as if it’s all new.

Eat stinky cheeses, butter, olive oil, salt and eggs, they’re better for you than the processed crap they make instead.

And don’t forget the bacon!

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, why do “nutritionists” keep telling us all the food for breakfast is bad for us?

 

I think they just hate America.

 

Suspended in my meth brigade.

Well, that’s how I feel reading the ‘news’.

I dispute that my soul is untouched though.

 

Sometimes CNN just pissed me off.

Washington (CNN) – President Donald Trump plans to dismember government one dollar at a time.

Yeah, but that’s not the plan. He’s just trying to cut some shit not dismember the bloated behemoth. They keep getting my hopes up but I should know better than to trust those fakenewser assholes.

 

NYS is full of racist assholes!

The (NYS) Board of Regents on Monday eliminated a requirement that aspiring teachers in New York State pass a literacy test to become certified after the test proved controversial because black and Hispanic candidates passed it at significantly lower rates than white candidates.

So what you’re saying is that minorities are too stupid to pass literacy tests? Racist!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why not try to recruit competent minorities? I know, that’s so….Republican!

 

If we didn’t have the Wash Post we would have to invent them to make fun of.

Pro-Trump media sets the agenda with lies. Here’s how traditional media can take it back.

So how are the Utterly Competent And Honest Purveyors Of The Truth at the Wash Post going to Take Back The Truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? By lying of course.

Similarly, the right-wing radio host Mark Levin may have started the evidence-free idea that President Barack Obama ordered the wiretapping of now-President Trump. It made its way quickly through the media ecosystem, after Trump saw it, apparently on Breitbart News…..

Yeah, about that.

But as to saying of Mark Levin that he started the “evidence-free idea that President Barack Obama ordered the wiretapping of now-President Trump” Levin did no such thing. What he did do, as detailed here, was make it vividly clear — using mainstream media stories including the Post and others — that in fact the Obama administration had been conducting surveillance of Trump and/or Trump campaign associates. That is a fact. Asked directly in a Fox interview whether Obama personally ordered the surveillance, Mark relied that he was not “Nostradamus” — but emphatically made it clear that the mainstream media reporting on surveillance of Trump had clearly cited information drawn from some sort of Obama administration surveillance known to the intelligence community.

Fakenewsers gonna fakenews and liars gonna lie.

 

Moderate GOPer in the House is against Ryancare! Why? you ask? You shouldn’t have asked. Really.

“After studying the impact of this proposed legislation on my district and speaking with many of my constituents, I have decided to vote no on the bill as currently written,” she said in a statement to the Miami Herald. “The bill’s consequences for South Florida are clear: too many of my constituents will lose insurance and there will be less funds to help the poor and elderly with their healthcare.”

So in other words, the terms of the debate are not “Should the gov’t be involved?” to “The gov’t needs to pay for everybody’s healthcare or you’re a racist hater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

That’s the endgame the Dems had in mind when they shoved that debacle up our cloacae. And here we are. With the GOP agreeing we need the benevolent .gov to run every aspect of our lives.

Fuck.

 

The Dutch are voting today, updating results here, with an interesting bit.

 

 

Yeah, if that’s their main worry, I’d bet they’re voting for Geert Wilders. I’d also bet they’re afraid to say so to any “journalist” because voting for him is a Hate-Crime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 of the first order.

 

In Tsar Putin I news, poisoned soup!

A Russian whistleblower in Britain may have died after eating poisoned soup, a judge has heard…

Perepilichny had sought refuge in Britain in 2009 and had been providing evidence to the authorities about a Russian money-laundering scheme.

Lawyers at a pre-inquest hearing suggested that he died shortly after eating a sorrel soup which had been infused with a posion based on the gelsemium plant.

Samples from his stomach showed traces of a material likely to be the toxin…

He’s a throwback to the fucking 16th century tsars.

 

Okay, I can’t decide if this is hilarious, horrific or just another sad, sordid tale of 21st century America where 2016 was not an aberration.

A transgender dad and daughter from Detroit are revealing their incredible journeys as they transition from mom and son.

Mom became Dad and son became daughter.

Seriously, think about trying to explain that to someone in 1950s.

 

What are we going to do tonight?

 

Sad? No, just the truth. As an engineer I’m happy people are starting to figure this out.
