I don’t care about the SCOTUS seat.

Breyer is retiring, and Joey Sprinkles gets to appoint somebody. Somebody of a preordained gender and race.

Do I care? Not really.

  • It’s an even swap, ideologically. So other than trading a rusty old lefty in for a newer model with fewer miles on her, it’s almost a good idea to put the fear of the God they mostly don’t believe in into the Never Trump swamp creatures, to show them what happens when muh norms and muh principles are too sacrosanct to vote for the Bad Orange Man.
  • We probably couldn’t stop it even if we tried. (Unless, that is, Sinema doesn’t care for being called a C-U-Next-Tuesday and decides to show them what that really means.)
  • Judicial temperament doesn’t matter. They’ll just lie about it anyway–see how “moderate” Merrick Garland turned out. (Dodged a bullet there – Mega props to Cocaine Mitch for that one.)
  • Qualifications barely matter. Case in point, that bloody moron Sotomayor. Whoever Brandon picks can’t possibly be dumber than the supposedly “wise Latina”.
  • To the extent that qualifications matter, there are a few qualified-at-least-on-paper individuals to pick from who match the race/gender preference. They can pull from their vaunted Ivy League, and don’t have to go slumming for a left-leaning, higher melanin content Harriet Miers.
  • The Court is irredeemably political anyway, and we’re really just counting votes. Whoever was to be appointed, whether of the stated race and gender or not, they were always going to be a solid left vote. The Court gave up actual jurisprudence a long time ago, what with the twelve-pronged by three-tined malarkey “tests” that are actually just retconning a predetermined outcome onto the fact pattern in evidence.
  • The stakes are so much lower than other “anti-racist” appointments like the Kamala Harris VP pick, what with the whole line of succession thing potentially giving Harris the nuclear football.

One thing I do rather tire of, is the “Well at least a young [insert ethnicity/gender/sexual proclivity] child has somebody to look up to who looks like them.” Yes, all things being equal I’m all for that. But if I were a [insert ethnicity/gender/sexual proclivity], I’d kind of want the person “representing” me to be competent. What does it tell a young girl that, yes, if you polish some prominent mayor’s knob and cackle nervously at any modestly difficult question, you too can someday be Vice President of the United States, so long as you fit a predetermined identity profile that has nothing to do with your qualifications for office?

Hardly inspiring, if you ask me.

It’s weird out there, usually I can spot a theme each day but today I can’t, not sure if it’s me or if it’s just that things are so all over the place.

Let’s start with You Will Be Made To Care!

Here we have NJ xesplaining to teens.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie signed legislation Friday requiring the state to give guidance to public schools about policies for transgender students, including blocking the schools from forcing the students from using bathrooms that conflict with their gender identities.

I’m sure HS students are mature enough to treat this with the respect and decorum it deserves.

I look forward to Dress Thursday where the football players all wear dresses to use the girl’s bathroom and locker room every Thursday and it will be a hate-crime if anybody tries to stop them.

I’m surprised that’s in NJ, sure they’re solidly Democrat but I figured that was more a corruption thing than a lefty thing. It’s funny that the GOP governor signed that into law. He’s a perfect northeast Republican in the mold of Susan Collins (R-Maine) and John McCain (R-DC).

Which reinforces Harvey’s point that we’re the RINOs, not them.

I think I’m actually the RINO.

I say that because I’m finding more and more that the Republicans aren’t the conservatives. Being a conservative and aligning yourself with a Republican doesn’t make Republicans conservative. It just means you’re aligning with the least liberal, least horrible of the viable options.

I don’t really want to take up the label “RINO” because of what it has represented. But, the reality is, the Republican Party isn’t a bunch of conservatives. But, a bunch of conservatives vote for the Republicans.

Yup.

 

I’m not surprised about Minnesota though.

A recently approved Minnesota Department of Education “toolkit” instructs schools to isolate students who are concerned about sharing bathrooms and locker rooms with transgender students.

Room 101 For You!

I will say I’d bet that makes a lot of students see exactly how morally and intellectually bankrupt lefties are when they’re forced to believe what their betters demand.

 

I used to tutor HS kids in math because AZ students had to pass the AIMS test. It was HS math, heavy on algebra and geometry.

They canceled it because so many kids could not graduate HS because they couldn’t pass it. It was depressing trying to teach kids how to do math when they used their fingers to add 5 to 17 and a calculator to multiply 10*7.

In today’s exciting episode, CA has gone AZ one better.

The chancellor of the California community college system has stated that institutions’ algebra requirements are “the biggest barrier” for “underemployed or unemployed Americans,” and as such is … a civil rights issue.

So you can have a college degree without algebra. Sigh. I’m sure that’ll make people happy to hire CA graduates.

It’s not a civil rights issue, it’s a community issue. Too many communities in our nation do not prize education. It’s absolutely not a “discrimination” deal or else Jewish people would have the same problems.

This is the shit that will get Trump’s supporters pissed off.

First, we have the State Dept derping.

Officials in the Trump administration’s State Department are standing by a recent report criticized by Congress that blamed Israel for terror attacks and claimed Palestinians rarely incite violence, telling the Washington Free Beacon that it remains unclear why terrorists engage in violent acts.

Trump and Tillerson should have slapped that shit down publicly, loudly and rudely. But they didn’t.

There’s a petition at the White House calling for an end to the gov’t stealing property from people not convicted of a crime.

 

If the media really wanted to Get Trump they’d hit him for shit like that, but they don’t understand how anybody could be upset about being evenhanded between murderous terrorists and a liberal democracy  or against the gov’t Taking Money From Criminals (who haven’t been convicted of a crime) so they’re busy lying about him.

 

Here we see believing lefty fantasies has immediate consequences.

The meltdown in Venezuela’s currency is deepening as a crippling dollar shortage and a threat of oil sanctions take their toll on the economy. The black-market rate for the bolivar traded weaker than 8,700 per dollar for the first time, according to dolartoday.com on Friday, compared with the official rate of around 10 and a more widely used alternative rate of 2,757.

What does that mean for investors?

That’s creating an illusion for foreigners observing the country’s stock market, which appears to be valued at $2.57 trillion — bigger than Germany’s, France’s, India’s or Canada’s — but is worth only $3 billion based on the black-market rate.

Like China, if you believe the official numbers you will be boned.

That’s about perfect.

 

Arguing With Headlines!!!!

EU Indecision Worsens Italy’s Migrant Crisis

There’s a difference between “indecision” and “slowrolling because you want the current system to stay in place.”

 

But we’ve been told that Muslim women would choose the Islamic body sack for women!!!! For Freedom!!!!!

Women burn burqas and men shave beards to celebrate liberation from Isis in Syria

It’s funny how often that’s the first thing women do when freed from subjugation. Although forcing the women to shave their beards is a little far.

 

I was into Spicer at first but the questions go so ridiculous that the press conferences got very boring so I won’t miss him much. I will miss Sean Spicier.

He notices reality in the funniest way.

Faceblock can’t be assed to stop people calling for death to Trump and Republicans or ISIS but attack a preferred group and you’re gone.

You just can’t make this stuff up, Muslim banned from Islamophobia in a flagging campaign by radical Muslims who think he is the wrong kind of Muslim.

Mudderpockers.

 

 

I’d say this says more about the voters

She isn’t “in charge” of that district, that’t the local govt’s job. Who the same people keep electing.

In other words, they vote for people who leave their district looking like that and they also vote for Sheila Jackson Lee. That’s on them.

While I dislike these assholes I don’t blame NY pols for being blatantly corrupt and useless, I don’t blame John McCain for being McCain, I didn’t blame Reid for being so despicable, I blame the people who vote for them.

I didn’t realize Hitler was a color.

 

Up twinkles?

Once again I get mad at lefties for ruining a perfectly good joke. If I had done that it would have been funn…wait, it’s funnier that it’s serious!

Nevermind.

 

See? It was all over place and it just sorta stopped instead of ending.

Not sure if it’s me or the world.

I blame…..uhhhh…… me!

I know, that’s so 19th century.

Are those really my sockpuppets? I don’t remember writing those posts, but then, the 80s pretty well destroyed my short, long and medium term memory.

Eh, let’s tube. (again?)

But Cuba has universal literacy!!!!!!!! Like most lefty-pushed, Everybody-Knows-That things, it’s not so much true as TRUTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have often heard or read about the supposed Cuban “culture and education,” a fabulous academic record based on official Cuban statistics and, of course, the Cuban Revolution and its (literally) ashen leader…

I had occasion to show her several categorical examples of the very renown solid and expansive Cuban culture.

Beyond the filthy and cracked streets, the mounds of rubble and the containers of overflowing debris, which by themselves speak of the peculiar conception of the hygiene and health culture in the Cuban capital, posters everywhere overflowed, plagued by spelling mistakes: “we have striped coconut” [rayado means striped, rallado, grated] read a sign at a market on Sites street; “Mixed coffee” [misspelled mesclado, should be mezclado] offered another ad on a menu board in a private coffee shop; “forbidden to throw papers on the floor” [proibido instead of prohibido] on a sign a bit further on.

 

Is it a misspelling if our social, moral, political and intellectual betters say it’s not?

 

Current Dutch PM  says

As the Netherlands prepares for general elections in March, Prime Minister Mark Rutte has written and published an open letter urging anyone who cannot respect Dutch customs to leave the country….

We feel a growing discomfort when people abuse our freedom here to spoil things, while they just come to our country for that freedom,” Rutte wrote. “I understand that people think if you so fundamentally reject our country, I prefer that you leave. Act normally, or leave.”

 

That’s the guy who’s running against Geert Wilders (Parliamentarian system so that’s sorta “fake but accurate”), who was convicted of a hate crime for saying they need fewer immigrants.

That’s a funny formulation. Now, most people think what he meant is that immigrants who don’t like Dutch customs should leave, but if our fine, political betters over here are any guide, he means that Dutch people should leave cuz they’re all hatey and stuff. That’s why we have Trump and they have Wilders.

 

I’m linking lefty liar sites a lot lately, but they’re just so stupid and funny. Let’s look at Fake News Extraordinaire, The Wash Post!, for a little bit of “I didn’t do it!”

The traditional way of reporting on a president is dead. And Trump’s press secretary killed it.

No, it’s entirely your fault, you lied, hide(d) and cried (wolf) and now, you’re paying the price.

They could start reporting nothing but the truth in a non-slanted way and it would probably take 2-4 years of all of the lying assholes doing that before anybody would trust them.

 

Via Cold Fury, we find Sultan Knish (mmmmm…knishes!!1) being all sultany.

Day 1 is more than just a day. It’s the end of an era. It’s the end of Obama.

Berlin, November, 1989. Moscow, August, 1991. Washington D.C., January, 2017. That’s the closest you can come to describing it. It’s the fall of an evil empire. There are breaths of fresh air as the cleansing rain washes away eight years of oppression, lies and corruption into the sewers of the city.

 

Now that’s hope for change!

 

Now, normally I don’t link hate sites, but the SPLC has one of the funniest things you’ll see all….uhhhh…… well, it’s funny.

Julie Kirchner, the former executive director of the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), has been named chief of staff at U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the largest federal law enforcement agency of the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

 

That it pisses off the SPLC is surely a sign that’s all about teh awesome. FAIR is an anti-illegal organization and the only lefty-approved stance is pro-illegal immigration.

I’m still waiting for Trump to appoint Ron Paul to the Fed.

 

Speaking of hating haters who hate, Chuck, I’m the smarmiest, smuggest, most ignorantly dishonest fuckhead in the Senate, Schumer!

Chuck Schumer is proving to be the New York version of Harry Reid. He’s slimy, despicable and a filthy liar. He also loves to thrown around insults to those in the other party and punk out on his deals. Schumer had a deal with Republicans to confirm Mike Pompeo on Friday, rather than tonight. An unnecessary 72 hour delay. Tom Cotton of Arkansas then confront slimy Schumer on the Senate floor and Schumer insulted Cotton. That proved to be a bad idea. Chuck Schumer, like his untalented fat neice Amy Schumer isn’t a very good actor. Tom Cotton took Schumer to school on the Senate floor after slimy Schumer insulted him.

 

Couldn’t happen to a nicer piece of shit. Hopefully, some Republicans can keep calling him a piece of shit, treating him like a piece of shit and listening to him as much as a piece of shit deserves.

 

Sticking with I clubNY, I’m not posting this because I care,

Hillary Clinton is seriously considering a run for New York mayor, according to a major city political insider, who claims she’s “50-50.”

I’m just posting it for the awesome, suitable for face-cocking, picture.

You’re welcome MP!

 

This needs a good, old, Trumpian, “You’re Fired!”

A senior U.S. Secret Service agent posted social-media condemnations of President Trump during the past seven months, including one in which she said she wouldn’t want to “take a bullet” for him.

She explained herself saying she viewed his presidential candidacy as a “disaster” for the country, and especially for women and minorities.

So you’d take one for President I Hate Amerikkka and not for President I Love America? Fuck off. No, really. Fuck off.

Two totally unrelated items!

Pacman Jones, of the Cincinnati Felons….Bengals,  who makes $millions to play a game, says

Police have released the Bengals’ Adam Jones expletive-filled statements to a police sergeant the night he was arrested after an incident at the Millennium Hotel.

In a 20-minute video that shows Jones in the back seat of a Cincinnati police vehicle, Jones repeatedly shouts expletives at Sgt. Jarrod Cotton, who is African-American.

At one point, Jones says: “You a b—- a– n—-r. I hope you die tomorrow.”

 

And totally unrelatedly,

NFL TV viewership fell last season for the first time in four years…

It was the steepest dropoff in viewers in the past 10 years — and only the third down year since 2007.

Fuck em all. Fire Goodell!

 

I’m gonna heartily disagree with this.

THE RISE OF ONLINE FITNESS SERVICES SHOULD WORRY EVERY GYM OWNER.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t work out, I have my standards, but… I know lots of people who do work out and they’re not particularly thin. My sister goes to the gym almost every day, she has to be 20 lbs or more overweight.

I heard from a girl I hadn’t seen in years and we were talking and she talked about all the working out she did. I told a friend about how I was going to meet her and I was worried she’d be all cut and I would be…well…me. He said, “She’s either really fit or overweight and she’s making excuses for it before you see her.”

Option B it was.

So it appears to me that for many people, going to the gym isn’t about going to the gym but being able to say you went to the gym, working out at home doesn’t have the same cachet.

 

You know, some people just have to ruin everything.

A man was spotted beside the street holding a popcorn maker box by officers on patrol.  They stopped to wish the man a “Happy National Popcorn Day”, which was recognized this year on Thursday, January 19.

The man immediately took off.  The officers, now suspecting the package may have been stolen, ran after the man and eventually caught up with him.

$2,700 worth of drugs, including marijuana, was discovered.

Geez, we need popcorn not drugs! The next 4 years are going to be funny enough.

As for “National Popcorn Day” being 1/19, I’m gonna disagree. It started 1/20 and will be continuing for at least 4 years.

First up, we have the Puppy Blender’s case where the U of Tenn “investigated” his tweet suggesting that people who are being threatened by mostly-peaceful protesters should “Run them down”.

As we all know, when a minority (certain minorities generally) attacks whitey, it’s always whitey’s fault and defending oneself is itself aggression.

Ace write

Do you think the University of Tennessee wishes Glenn Reynolds to know — to reallly know — he’s free to speak?

Or do you think they intended to install a Censorship Inside Man in his head, causing him to mind his p’s and q’s?

 

Sure they lost one with the puppy blender by biting off more than they can stomp and spit on, and I’d bet he knows he won so this won’t change his behavior much, but the less powerful will see it and be careful accordingly.

Others are starting to notice we’re in 90s redux.

I can’t believe I have to write about “cultural appropriation” again/now/anymore. But as another Clinton veers toward the White House, and a new Blair Witch movie debuts, why shouldn’t the Permanent Floating Nineties Revival embrace the other accoutrements of that decade, especially the asphyxiating political correctness that never did go out of style?

 

I see I’m not the only one who hated that decade and isn’t happy about bringing it back. I do wonder when people will start to notice that at least in the 90s we had won the Cold War and now we look as if we’ve lost it (by becoming much more commie) and Obama is rekindling it abroad.

In previous decades the remakes weren’t always bad (The Last Remake of Beau Geste was particularly good), but in this decade they all suck.

Why isn’t this in more newpapers than just the Washington Free Beacon?

Several Afghan nationals undergoing military training in the United States disappeared from U.S. military bases this month, according to Pentagon and Homeland Security officials…

Three of the Afghan military trainees fled from a Pentagon training program two weekends ago during the bombing spree in New York and New Jersey by Afghan-born bombing suspect Ahmad Rahami, raising concerns among security officials that the missing Afghan students may be linked to terrorism or plans for attacks in the United States.

If you asked yourself that question about other places reporting on it, smack yourself. Geez, that might help Trump! It Has To Be Ignored!

Talk about a maroon.

A Middle Tennessee Uber driver has been suspended after police say she refused to give a ride to a man and his service dog.

First, what are the police doing getting involved in that? That’s not a police matter, that’s a ‘Call Uber and complain” deal. Jebus.

But what that ‘person’ didn’t realize is that she’s not enough of a protected class.

Some Muslim cab drivers are refusing service to a growing number of passengers with alcohol or dogs, and officials at Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport are trying to fight it.

“Trying to fight it.” and losing.

She should have said she was Muslim and it’s against her religion. Jeez, is nobody paying attention?

Speaking of not paying attention to reality and our fine media betters ignoring anything that could Help Trump!!!!!, Hillary!

The email deal is just too murky to actually blame Hillary! for it!!!!!! I mean, there’s just no proof it was a cover-up!!!!

CNN anchor Jake Tapper asked Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook on Sunday to answer why an IT worker who maintained Clinton’s private email server referred to a 60-day email-retention policy as a “Clinton cover-up operation.”

So CNN was on the job!!!! They uncovered it!!!!

In an interview on “State of the Union,” Tapper asked why an employee of Platte River, which hosted Clinton’s private email server, referred to the policy of deleting emails during the time after Clinton was out of office as a “cover-up operation,” a comment the IT worker told the FBI was a joke.

It Was A Joke So Spike that! We Can’t Help Trump!

 

Another narrative is that Hillary! Has Experience!!!!!!

Evidence shows she left the State Department in shambles and our nation weaker. Her record at Foggy Bottom disqualifies her to be president.

Her failures go beyond leaving four Americans to die in Benghazi on Sept. 11, 2012, the ridiculous Russian “reset” and the carnage in Syria that she and President Obama idly watched unfold — and that gets more horrific daily.

A string of investigative reports from the Obama administration shows that she botched key management jobs as secretary of state, threatening American lives and our diplomatic secrets.

Clinton’s State Department repeatedly rebuffed requests for additional security for the vulnerable compound at Benghazi, Libya. The result? Heavily armed terrorists were able to storm the compound and kill Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

Can’t Note That!!!!! It Might Help Trump!!!!!!!  She’s A Political Heavyweight Who Has Experience!!!!!!

This from the media still pretending to believe her “non-contagious, made-up pneumonia” bullshit.

Inclusion: It’s Only For Some People!!!!!

You can think that “all lives matter” – you just can’t say it.

The outgoing president of the National Association for College Admission Counseling faced an uproar after he spoke the forbidden phrase of solidarity with humanity, regardless of a person’s race or creed, at the group’s conference Thursday.

Inside Higher Ed reports that Phillip Trout’s initial apology statement did not include the talismanic phrase “black lives matter.” He simply apologized for having “offended and hurt so many people” with words that are “not right,” and promised the association’s board would spend more time “addressing issues of race and human relations.”

That’s as funny and endy a deal as I’ve seen all…uhhh….last 20 minutes.

 

I love this one, it goes against the narrative. Lawrence KS has a great twitter feed.

 

One problems, what are they culturally appropriating a black man!!!!!!!!! Shouldn’t they be shooting him instead of using him as an illustration? Bastards!
