Former acting Attorney General Sally Yates will testify in front of a Senate subcommittee Monday about what and when she told the Trump White House in regard to Michael Flynn’s ties to Russia.
Why?
Why isn’t Lerner testifying about what the Obama White House told her in regards to her ties to fascism?
Why aren’t they going after actual lawlessness instead of trying to keep this non-story in the new…..
Oh right. The We’re Better And Smarter Than You Party hates Trump almost as much as they hate me.
And I thought, “Finally! McCain or Graham are going to get what they deserve!”
But the tool they were talking about was neither McCain nor Graham!?!?!?! It wasn’t even McConnell!
seeking to strike down the Congressional Review Act
Wrong tool! There are some right over there (points at Congress) that would make America Great Again if we got rid of them.
If you need some more links about Obama’s wiretapping of Trump, click here.
Not sure why you’d bother trying to convince anybody of reality if they don’t remember watching it happen (Here are leaked transcripts of wiretaps of Trump’s peeps!!!… No! Obama did not wiretap Trump’s peeps!), then showing them more proof surely won’t do any good. YMMV.
Mayor de Blasio is so intent on going to the mat defending Correction Commissioner Joseph Ponte’s blatant abuse of a city vehicle and frequent absences from work that he’s now trashing his own investigators for blowing the whistle…
As if professional investigators don’t know how to, you know, investigate.
As for the DOI probe that uncovered the abuse by Ponte and his subordinates: That’s just “their views,” said de Blasio.
How dare you go after one of his peeps? Have you no sense of exactly how corrupt NY is supposed to be? I mean, it’s not as if it’s a Republican trying to stop Democratic priorities!
Who teaches students that words are violence? While the plural of anecdote is not data, I’ve seen variations on this in most schools in the greater Phoenix area
It’s a hate-crime to say the bit about words never hurting you unless you let them.
And then he talks about our fine media betters refusing to say the word, “socialism” or “murderous dictator” when discussing Venezuela.
The growing economic crisis (was) fueled by low prices for oil, the country’s main export; a drought that has crippled Venezuela’s ability to generate hydroelectric power; and a long decline in manufacturing and agricultural production.” – IBD
Another drink is about all you can do for those poor bastards.
FIFA is working on kicking Israel out! I could click to find out why, but seriously, why bother? I’m sure it has something to do with Palestinians and apartheid and premeditated jewishness. I was going to list members, but once I got past “Palestine” and Syria on my way to Afghanistan, Iran and….I got tired.
Why bother? Just because FIFA is perfectly okay with murderous dictatorships, places with actual, “bill-of-sale” slavery and that treat women like property, I got depressed.
And much of our country and most of the world have no idea why I have a problem with this. Except that I’m a racist hater.
I did my taxes late this year and I was broke in April so I didn’t do BAG day and didn’t even mention it. I’m a little embarrassed about that.
But you know what doesn’t suck?

It’s all about useless but also all about teh fun.
While we’re waiting for a new song, let’s look back at 20th century man.
Although…
Ain’t got no ambition, I’m just disillusioned
I’m a twentieth century man but I don’t want to be here.
My mama said she can’t understand me
She can’t see my motivation
Just give me some security,
I’m a paranoid schizoid product of the twentieth century.
He’s not all that different from 21st century man.
Well, except for the fact that a johnson is no longer required for man-hood.
Spillway repairs at the troubled Oroville Dam will get their first major test this weekend, as meteorologists have revised their forecast and are now predicting a much wetter and warmer storm outlook…
“It looks like it’s going to be a pretty good rainmaker,” said NWS meteorologist Mike Smith. “You’re looking at 10 inches from Sunday night to Monday night.”
Only in CA could they screw up hydraulic despotism.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is cleaning house at the State Department, according to a report.
Staffers in the offices of deputy secretary of state for management and resources as well as counselor were shown the door Thursday, according to CBS News.
Many of those let go were on the building’s seventh floor — top-floor bigs — a symbolically important sign to the rest of the diplomatic corps that their new boss has different priorities than the last one.
If there’s one place that needs to be cleaned up it’s the State Dept.
Since they show such malice in their ‘mistakes’, I’d say they deserve it. Reckless disregard is one thing, they’re malicious.
I love this bit
Before Trump was elected president, we suggested that his threats necessitated a federal anti-SLAPP law.
Before Trump you might have had a chance to convince people the media weren’t being malicious and abusing their Constitutional protections, now everybody’s pointing and laughing and if all you assholes get sued out of existence you have only yourselves to blame.
I’m not really fer it, but I’m also not really agin it. Karma being a bitch can be very darn funny.
Three looks at Trump’s presser yesterday.
Trump Cheers His Own Epic Press-Conference Rant Against The Media!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
President Trump took a victory lap Friday morning, boasting about the kudos he received following his meandering press conference the day before…
Many critics noted how bizarre the 75-minute-long presser was, but conservative talker Limbaugh cheered the Republican president.
“Many Critics” screech no matter what he does.
But other members of the media were not as flattering about the presser,…
Yeah, the butthurt was epic.
The other look. Sorry media, this press conference played very differently with Trump’s supporters. (Do tell)
The president proved once again that he is the greatest show on Earth. Lions and tigers and elephants are kid stuff next to his high wire act.
Next time, the White House ought to sell popcorn.
If Trump started selling popcorn the deficit would be gone by June.
Trump’s detractors immediately panned the show as madness, but they missed the method behind it and proved they still don’t understand his appeal. Facing his first crisis in the Oval Office, he was unbowed in demonstrating his bare-knuckle intention to fight back…
In front of cameras, and using the assembled press corps as props, he conducted a televised revival meeting to remind his supporters that he is still the man they elected. Ticking off a lengthy list of executive orders and other actions he has taken, he displayed serious fealty to his campaign promises.
And they just cannot fucking understand that last bit. He’s actually doing what he promised the rubes!?!?!?!?!?! Doesn’t he know that’s not how things are done?
Shep, of course, is fresh off calling Trump a liar because he talked about illegal aliens voting, as you’d know if you read this blog. I ain’t looking for it.
“It is crazy what we are watching every day, it is absolutely crazy,” Smith said. “He keeps repeating ridiculous throwaway lines that are not true at all and sort of avoiding this issue of Russia as if we are some kind of fools for asking the question.”
European Commission President, Jean-Claude Juncker, claims that Brexit negotiations with the EU will be complex and take longer than the allotted two years.
Speaking on the sidelines at the international Munich Security Conference Junker added that Britain does not have the right to forge bilateral trade deals while still a member of the EU.
Keeping a Brexit-like scenario in mind, commission wants the voting rights for migrants and refugees at par with German citizens in any future referendum.
I just don’t think they’re thinking that through. Sure their serfs are revolting, but do they really want to replace them with more splodey ones?
Palestine is many things. A Roman name and a Cold War lie. Mostly it’s a justification for killing Jews.
Succinct and accurate. Perfect.
What we think of as “Palestinian” terrorism was a low-level conflict pursued by the Arab Socialist states in between their invasions of Israel. After several lost wars, the terrorism was all that remained. Egypt, Syria and the USSR threw in the towel on actually destroying Israel with tanks and jets, but funding terrorism was cheap and low-risk. And the rewards were disproportionate to the cost.
For less than the price of a single jet fighter, Islamic terrorists could strike deep inside Israel while isolating the Jewish State internationally with demands for “negotiations” and “statehood.”
I just wish we had a competent, less-hatey media so that would discussed instead of just blatantly obvious. Of course, in EUnuchstan, saying stuff far more milquetoast will get you a hate-crimes trial, so it’s hard to talk about.
I’m so old I remember when the Dalai Lama was universally loved on college campuses!
Students at the University of California, San Diego are protesting an upcoming visit by the Dalai Lama – claiming the Tibetan leader is “oppressive”.
Seriously? Who’s he oppressing?
Chinese students are leading objections to the event,
Oh right, totally tolerant and peaceful murderous commies feel oppressed when people talk about their murderousness and commieness.
Send them back to fucking China. I hate apparatchiks for murderous commies taking advantage of our freedoms to try to deny it for others.
And who can forget Obama letting the Dalai Lama know what Obama’s murderously commie friends think of him.
To spit on that guy for murderous commies just makes me sick.
Look at the smile. He has all the class Obama doesn’t and more.
Wait, that’s another old one. HERE’S THE RIGHT ONE FROM TODAY!!!!!!
Shoot, wrong one. Here’s the right link. Geez, there sure are a lot of WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!! predictions from Gorequemada. Are we dead yet? Because I thought Hell would be less funny.
I love this line.
But it was science – not politics – that carried the day.
No really, they were talking about global warmmongering when they wrote that. I can’t even keep a straight face just cuttin’ n’ pastin’, I don’t think I’d be able to actually write that.
In the climate and health meeting held at The Carter Center, Gore steered clear of mentioning Trump. Instead, he stressed that climate changes could render parts of the Middle East – including some of the holiest cities on the planet – uninhabitable. It could also cause deadly health problems and reduce life expectancy. Those in poverty will be hardest hit, he said.
Fakenewswers refuse to ask him about his earlier, stupid, predictions and yet, we’re supposed to trust him and them because The Science!!!!!! Is Settled!!!!!!!!
Why didn’t Jets fans think of this?
After not scoring 5 games in a row, fans show their players where to score 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/kzlvGApQ8Q
So as we recall the murderousness of our enemies today, let’s see what Obama has been doing to help.
It was not hyperbole when GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump said that under President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the U.S. military had been “reduced to rubble” and left floundering without a coherent strategy or meaningful capability to win wars. It is a fait accompli, engineered by our commander-in-chief to reduce America’s global footprint, an America he has profusely apologized for, and one he blames for all the world’s ills…
Yet what has happened to our officer corps since President Obama took office is viewed in many quarters as unprecedented, baffling and even harmful to our national security posture…
Jack Keane, architect of the Iraq surge that produced the victory Obama threw away, recently spoke on Kilmeade and Friends about Obama’s ongoing purge of the military of officers who oppose his isolationist and defeatist policies:
Obama will not purge a civilian or political appointee because they have bought into Obama’s ideology,” Vallely said. “The White House protects their own. That’s why they stalled on the investigation into Fast and Furious, Benghazi and ObamaCare.
Too bad it’s not America he wants to help. RTWT if you really want to see the perfidy of our current CIC.
…NFL threatened to sack a Titans linebacker for wearing a patriotic pair of cleats honoring those who died on 9/11,…
He said that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, by denying Williamson the right to wear the patriotic footwear, had “committed a personal foul against humanity….
He’s a fucking asshole.
Of course, wearing cop/pig socks and not standing for our National Anthem are perfectly fine.
That’s a huge FUCK YOU AMERICA on September 11, but then, the NFL has been saying Fuck You America for a long time. How else can they justify giving a monopoly on the football package to DirecTV? Because fuck you, is why.
This season is going to suck if the stupid sons of bitches in the NFL do not stop this political shit from ruining the game.
The strikes pissed me off, this will make me just stop watching. Screw em. I was going to try to do a fantasy football deal this year, but after this started I realized that I don’t want to encourage the fuckheads.
My buddy wants to come out to watch the Foreskins play the Cards, I was going to go, but now i think I’ll Just Say No. He can still go with his girlfriend, but I won’t be along if the NFL is just going to spit in my face.
If you attend the Jets or Giants season-opening games today and see a group of players huddled in a circle, don’t look too close — they might be hiding a player taking a leak….
I’ve never understood why there’s not a porta-potty on an NFL sideline. You’re out there for an hour and a half with no bathroom breaks.”
It all happened pretty quickly last week, but in case you haven’t noticed, Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall over there. The bonehead American news media affects to be too stunned to even ask the pertinent questions, starting with: is that all it took to undo eight years and — what? — maybe two trillion dollars in US-sponsored nation-building? Oh, plus 4,000 US dead and 50,000 wounded. So, my question would be: when do the political recriminations kick in? Pretty soon, I reckon, and when they do, expect them to be fiercely perverse. The theme of who lost Iraq? may cost more than who lost Vietnam?
For me, it’s pretty obvious, we let our enemies know we weren’t in it for the long haul, both Dem and GOP. Obama, as POTUS, is supposed to provide leadership but he ran away and now all our hard work in Iraq is undone as we’ve reinforced that we cannot be trusted to last.
The article does have this bit of optimism.
not much attention is being paid to Saudi Arabia, but note that it has been the chief sponsor of Sunni insurgency everywhere but Saudi Arabia itself, and that the genie they let out of that flask will probably come back and tear that country to shreds, especially in so far as King Abdullah at age 90 is a virtual mummy, and that many other clans besides the Saud tribe have designs on the throne
We forget that for much of forever changing rulers has meant civil war or at least a murdered king, “The King is Dead! Long Live the King!!!” That means we might have to change our maps to reflect that Arabia is no longer Saudi.
Iran has deployed “small numbers” of operatives into Iraq to bolster the Shiite-led government there but there was no sign of a major deployment of army units, the Pentagon said Friday.
Heh.Just like us!
In Phoney War News, Ukraine declared a cease-fire against Putin’s “rebels”.
A key figure in covert Russian efforts to destabilize eastern Ukraine is working for Russia’s GRU military intelligence service, according to U.S. officials.
Chinese military aircraft once again flew unusually close to two Japanese Self-Defense Forces planes over the East China Sea, less than three weeks after a similar dangerous incident over the same area.
Why the hell not, Obama will take a week to “make a decision” and all he’ll do is tell both sides to step back.
Cuz he’s an idiot.
Let’s go to America, it’s where I keep my stuff and it’s going BOOM! in a big way, that depresses me.
Lois Lerner’s computer mysteriously crashed, was thrown out and recycled 10 DAYS after House Ways & Means Chairman Dave Camp asked if the IRS was engaged in targeting on June 3, 2011.
Just a computer “Glitch” that is absolutely not at all believable or even plausible at a very convenient time. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
So some Dems are helping the establishment asshole, Cochran, beat the tea party terrorists trying to destroy our nation and
When a top Mississippi Democrat accused Lane “L.C.” Murray in a Facebook post of using shady tactics to help Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS), Murray purportedly left a threatening voicemail to a Republican state senator who posted about the matter on Twitter.
But this bit is what cracks me up.
Murray says he didn’t threaten Smith—just promised he would beat him up if he didn’t
That doesn’t make any sense at all, but if Minitrue doesn’t cover it, did it happen? Not according to our social, moral, political and intellectual betters. You know, our smug, ignorant, conceited, self-proclaimed “Elites”.
I was going to do some border stuff, but accept that Obama is fucking us all and Texas and AZ are trying to save us against the power of the federal gov’t and it’s just too infuriating to really want to dwell on.
Unfortunately, the Federal Communications Commission, where I am a commissioner, does not agree. Last May the FCC proposed an initiative to thrust the federal government into newsrooms across the country. With its “Multi-Market Study of Critical Information Needs,” or CIN, the agency plans to send researchers to grill reporters, editors and station owners about how they decide which stories to run.
I’ve always been in favor of freedom of expression, but lately I’ve become a free-speech absolutist. It takes all sorts to make a world and I’ve met a lot of them over the years, and I can stand pretty much anything anyone says about anything — until someone says to me, “You can’t say that.” At which point my inclination is to punch his lights out. I do this not just because I’m a violent psychopath with a hair-trigger temper, but to make the important point that in societies where you’re not free to speak your mind — to argue and debate — the only way to express disagreement is through violence.
Eggs-fucking-zactly. Steyn usually gets it just right.
Following numerous reports of improper arrests and firearm seizures throughout California, Roseville-based gun rights group The Calguns Foundation has issued a new warning to gun owners in the Golden State.
“Gun confiscation efforts pushed by Attorney General Kamala Harris have apparently led to unconstitutional arrests of regular, non-prohibited gun owners as well as the seizure of their firearms and ammunition,”
Registration always leads to confiscation, but you’d know that if you ever read this blog.
Gov. Scott Walker used his election-year State of the State address Wednesday to rally support for his plans to use the majority of Wisconsin’s $912 million in unexpected revenue for tax cuts.
A place for me to hide. All I’m finding are places to hide from what with the wars and the murdering and the GLAVIN.
Sigh.
The Falklands is voting on a referendum on war between Britain and Argentina, I think.
Residents of the Falkland Islands vote on Sunday in a sovereignty referendum aimed at countering Argentina’s increasingly assertive claim over the British-ruled territory.
The government’s mishandling of Argentina’s economy has hit new highs recently with the implementation of price controls on food. It is a notoriously ineffective policy that tends to create shortages and spawns black markets.
You know Argentina is going to need an external enemy really soon and the Jews are too remote so the Brits it is.I know war isn’t funny, except when it is.
Think about it, there’s a very good chance we’ll have the first war in history where the two combatants cannot actually meet each other on a battlefield.
The Royal Navy isn’t what it used to be and what’s a starving, broke Argentinian military going to do? Knowing that Obama likes to fight both sides of a war, we could see America ferrying everybody to somewhere, maybe the Pampas would be good?, so they can have their war.
But maybe Argentina will think outside the box.
Venezuela is going to have an election next month between a guy who’d like to live in a free country and a guy who also wants to be free….to do whatever the fuck he wants. He is Chavez’ chosen successor.
So both Venezuela and Argentina are going to need an enemy, how about A Short War? This way, they’ll speak the same language.
How funny would it be if WWIII started in South America when the last two were mostly not fought anywhere near there? Well, except for a couple of sea battles.
The Egyptians are still rioting over the soccer hooligans, I didn’t realize Port Said was on the Suez Canal. It’s a good thing nothing important goes through that canal or there might be some problems from Obama’s foreign policy.
So fucking Karzai is blaming the US and the Taliban for not making nicey-nicey. Can we leave him to get killed yet?
Azerbaijan is interesting, they’re playing nicey with Jews and Iran is messing with them. How funny would it be if the Jews helped muslims fight against the Mad Mullahs? That would bring in Russia. So Obama could fight both sides of that war, by helping Israel and Iran. Seriously, if WWIII breaks out before 2017, we’ll be fighting on both sides. That’ll be funny. You know, until we nuke ourselves to teach us a lesson.
Actually, that’ll still be funny. Just not funny-funny.
A few days ago I wrote about some UN Peacekeepers who were taken hostage in Syria, I figured they were dead as the UN is feckless. I was right and wrong, so I have to admit this makes me laugh. And it’s a good laugh.
They were freed
Twenty-one United Nations peacekeepers were welcomed in Jordan when they were freed after being held by rebels for three days in Southern Syria.
But the UN was feckless.
as a request to the Red Cross and the United Nations to accept the hostages was turned down. It’s believed neither organisation recognises the Martyrs of Yarmouk group of fighters.
How fucking funny is that? They were freed due to the kindness of jihadis even as the UN said, “No thanks.”
Syrian rebels staged a surprise dawn attack on Sunday against the key district of Baba Amr in the central city of Homs, a year after regime forces retook it after a deadly month-long siege.
The new battle for Baba Amr began as jihadist fighters in the oil-producing east said they had established religious committees to administer the area’s policing, judiciary and emergency services.
Good. When Jihadi fights jihadi supporters Veeshir smiles. Knowing Israel, you know they’re supplying intelligence to both sides. It’s like the dog convincing wolves that coyotes taste better than sheep.
This is when I normaly seg my ue from furriners to the US, but I don’t have a story for that. So I’ll link this bit of funny that’s not at all funny.
It’s a story about how the hometowns of Hitler and Stalin are facing their legacies.
The Austrian town (could someone ask Obama how to say “Hitler” in Austrian?) where Hitler was born is trying to forget it, they rent out the house to keep it from becoming a neo-nazi shrine. This is a nice touch,
Until 2011, the house was used as a day-care centre for disabled people.
Heh.
But in Georgia, they’re are taking a different tack.
For years, the main boulevard, Stalin Street, was dominated by a huge statue of Stalin.
But in 2010, it was taken down by the pro-Western government of Mikhail Saakashvili, much to the dismay of many in Gori.
But thats’ not the end of the story.
A few weeks ago, Gori city council, now run by Georgian Dream, allocated funds to re-erect the statue.
It will not be returned to Stalin Street, but will be put in Gori’s main tourist attraction, the Stalin museum, which is still a shrine to the dictator and scarcely touched since it was built in 1957.
After being invaded by Russia they’re making nicey with Russia, funny how that worked out.
Actually, I do have a segway, from Mordor to America!Via the Jawas, we see this.
It’s up and down, but when they said, “Brokeback Mt Doom”, I LOLed I did. And I don’t LOL very often.
Let’s go to Fuck You America!, the best part? It’s people who speak English so we don’t have to rely on imperfect translations.
Nannarch Bloomberg‘s comments about shelters made me laugh. No, not the bit about people flying their private jets in and taking a limo to the homeless shelters because he signed a law saying a anybody can get a bed. Law, meet unintended consequences.
Mayor Bloomberg yesterday put his foot in his mouth by suggesting homeless shelters are bursting at the seams because anyone can get a bed — even the filthy rich.
I bet a dollar it’s not the filthy rich, I bet it’s the children of the filthy rich. The Occutards.
A little bit of America saying fuck you back. The NYS boycott is up to 119. Yay!
Among the tactics apparently used by at least part of the Obama administration is to make the public as annoyed with the results of the sequester cuts as possible, if a leaked e-mail message from the Department of Agriculture is to be believed. Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service official Charles Brown told his department’s employees, in an internal e-mail obtained by the Washington Times, that “We have gone on record with a notification to Congress and whoever else that ‘APHIS would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 states in managing wildlife damage to the aquaculture industry, unless they provide funding to cover the costs.’ So it is our opinion that however you manage that reduction, you need to make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be.”
Make it hurt until he gets what he wants. We have a president who wants to hurt the productive class to make them want to give more to the non-productive class. That sucks.
And yet it’s legal to hunt humans with 15-round, 30-round, even 150-round magazines.
She’s saying people should have a sporting chance! It should be legal to hunt humans only with low-capacity mags!
And you people thought I was too paranoid worrying about the Cox Skybombers.
In, I Expected Better From You news, Neil Boortz is acting surprised Obama is ignoring his petition. Jeez, it was blatantly obvious from day one this was a sign of contempt from Obama, “Here, this’ll make the rubes happy”.
We’ve featured some unusual fashions here over the years, but I’m not sure whether I should be drooling or nauseous from this insane creation – the bacon dress.
I can hear the cop saying, “So the man ripped your dress off and ran away cackling?” and then the local SWAT team surrounds MPs house and he won’t come out until he’s done eating.
