Hey, NFL!! I Have a Suggestion for Halftime!!!

It is reported that the NFL is scratching to find a music act to fill halftime at the Super Bowl.

Question:  what actual football fan gives a flying fart about "half-time acts"?

It seems that this "act" stuff was dreamed up by some NFL poohbah's wife.  That's nice.

Maybe the NFL should consider hiring the Hallmark Channel to produce their half-time entertainment  and REALLY alienate the remaining football fans.

"Statement Released by Lawyers": I Smell Rotting Corpses

Some guy who does NOT deserve the title "father" dragged his 7-year-old daughter through a desert and did not feed her, nor give her water, for seven days or so.

She arrives here (illegally, of course) and her body finally gives up.

Now some lawyers release a statement accusing Border Patrol of negligent homicide.

Some lawyers are perfectly happy to find rotting corpses.  It's their natural habitat. 

Go National, Lose Your Seat

There have been a lot of rumbles about how Walker could have lost the race.

Norquist has some thoughts on OTHER races which might apply here, too, but as usual, there are a lot of reasons, not just one or two.

Grover Norquist, founder of Americans for Tax Reform, said that President Trump was not to blame for many Republicans losing their seats to Democrats. 

He singled out Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., who last month lost the Orange County seat he had held since 1989. 

“Trump is not the reason Dana Rohrabacher didn’t do any work,” Grover Norquist told the Washington Examiner editorial board. “Dana hasn’t done any work since before he could spell 'Trump' in that seat.” 

Norquist, a veteran conservative activist, linked Rohrabacher, who will cease being the representative for California's 48th Congressional District next month, to other Republicans who concentrated on building a national image rather than focusing on their districts...

Hmmmmm.

Soros, Obozo, and Pp. Francis

Interesting little item here.

The writer begins by questioning the Aussie Gummint's trial of Cdl. George Pell.  This trial was about allegations of abuse dating back quite some time.  But that's not the controversy.  The controversy is that Australia declared that the trial (and its result) be kept secret.

Huh?  Secret?

Well, we all know that Pell was found guilty and intends to appeal.

But maybe abusing boys was not Pell's real crime.

See, good ol' George Soros apparently has tossed more than a few bucks into the Vatican's lap and those bucks were not reported on the Vatican balance sheet.  The money was discovered by Pell--but suddenly (!!) there were accusations (!!) back in Australia and Pell had to leave Rome. (!!_

You'll find it curious, too, that the Vatican's auditor had been wiretapped and suddenly the Vatican's outside audit firm stopped work at the direction of Cdl. Parolin, the Secretary of State (#2 most powerful man in Rome.)

Hmmmm.

Meantime, it's also revealed that the NSA (under Obama) has been tapping the phones of a lot of Catholic heavyweights, including Pp. Benedict and (ta-da!!) Cdl. Bergoglio (now Pp. Francis.)

Well.  We know that Soros has to be very pleased with Francis' yappaflappa about 'taking in refugees' (no matter how many of your citizens they kill) and "borderless world" and the Menace of Warming, etc., etc., ad nauseam.

Think all that money may have had something to do with all this?

If not, then think again.

UW-Whitewater Chancellor Fired

We Normies got word a couple hours ago that the Chancellor(ette) of UW-Whitewater, whose husband was a GrabAss Master, has been canned.

The cause has not been announced, but we'd suggest "Gross Stupidity."

Abortion, Inc. vs. Little Sisters--AGAIN!

You already KNOW which appeals-court has ruled that the Little Sisters of the Poor must (again) pay for abortion and birth-control.

So that SCOTUS thing?  To California, Washington, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts, that means nothing.

And The Enlightened Ones wonder why there's anger out here in flyover country.

The Reality of the Clintons

Ah, the good old days.

I had a subscription to The American Spectator when the Clinton series ran (roughly 1994.)

Due to the content I had to keep those copies where my children couldn't find them.

The links in this essay will be eye-opening for the younger folks who read this blog; there IS a reason that we couldn't vote for the wrinkled bitch that "married" Bill.

Clickbait TeeVee

Here you thought 'clickbait' was just for the intertubes.

Wrong, bucko!!

Now there's some underwear outfit running TeeVee ads featuring a young, attractive couple standing around in the kitchen wearing ..........underwear.

Just like all of us do, every day.

Between that and the miscegenation craze (BMO is the latest on that wagon) one wonders if The TeeVee Twits are trying to drive us all back to printed stuff.  Like, say, Brave New World, or A Day in the Life, or On Being Human.

For Review: First Inaugural

Ace's Overnight thread included this excellent address.

Chief Justice Roberts, President Carter, President Clinton, President Bush, President Obama, fellow Americans, and people of the world: thank you.We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people.

Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come.

We will face challenges. We will confront hardships. But we will get the job done.

Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent.

Today’s ceremony, however, has very special meaning. Because today we are not merely transferring power from one Administration to another, or from one party to another – but we are transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the American People.

For too long, a small group in our nation’s Capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.

Washington flourished – but the people did not share in its wealth.

Politicians prospered – but the jobs left, and the factories closed.

The establishment protected itself, but not the citizens of our country.

Their victories have not been your victories; their triumphs have not been your triumphs; and while they celebrated in our nation’s Capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land.

That all changes – starting right here, and right now, because this moment is your moment: it belongs to you.

It belongs to everyone gathered here today and everyone watching all across America.

This is your day. This is your celebration.

And this, the United States of America, is your country.

What truly matters is not which party controls our government, but whether our government is controlled by the people.

January 20th 2017, will be remembered as the day the people became the rulers of this nation again.

The forgotten men and women of our country will be forgotten no longer.

Everyone is listening to you now.

You came by the tens of millions to become part of a historic movement the likes of which the world has never seen before.

At the center of this movement is a crucial conviction: that a nation exists to serve its citizens.

Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves.

These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public.

But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential.

This American carnage stops right here and stops right now.

We are one nation – and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny.

The oath of office I take today is an oath of allegiance to all Americans.

For many decades, we’ve enriched foreign industry at the expense of American industry;

Subsidized the armies of other countries while allowing for the very sad depletion of our military;

We’ve defended other nation’s borders while refusing to defend our own;

And spent trillions of dollars overseas while America’s infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay.

We’ve made other countries rich while the wealth, strength, and confidence of our country has disappeared over the horizon.

One by one, the factories shuttered and left our shores, with not even a thought about the millions upon millions of American workers left behind.

The wealth of our middle class has been ripped from their homes and then redistributed across the entire world.

But that is the past. And now we are looking only to the future.

We assembled here today are issuing a new decree to be heard in every city, in every foreign capital, and in every hall of power.

From this day forward, a new vision will govern our land.

From this moment on, it’s going to be America First.

Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families.

We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs. Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength.

I will fight for you with every breath in my body – and I will never, ever let you down.

America will start winning again, winning like never before.

We will bring back our jobs. We will bring back our borders. We will bring back our wealth. And we will bring back our dreams.

We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation.

We will get our people off of welfare and back to work – rebuilding our country with American hands and American labor.

We will follow two simple rules: Buy American and Hire American.

We will seek friendship and goodwill with the nations of the world – but we do so with the understanding that it is the right of all nations to put their own interests first.

We do not seek to impose our way of life on anyone, but rather to let it shine as an example for everyone to follow.

We will reinforce old alliances and form new ones – and unite the civilized world against Radical Islamic Terrorism, which we will eradicate completely from the face of the Earth.

At the bedrock of our politics will be a total allegiance to the United States of America, and through our loyalty to our country, we will rediscover our loyalty to each other.

When you open your heart to patriotism, there is no room for prejudice.

The Bible tells us, “how good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.”

We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity.

When America is united, America is totally unstoppable.

There should be no fear – we are protected, and we will always be protected.

We will be protected by the great men and women of our military and law enforcement and, most importantly, we are protected by God.

Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger.

In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving.

We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action – constantly complaining but never doing anything about it.

The time for empty talk is over.

Now arrives the hour of action.

Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done. No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America.

We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.

We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.

A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights, and heal our divisions.

It is time to remember that old wisdom our soldiers will never forget: that whether we are black or brown or white, we all bleed the same red blood of patriots, we all enjoy the same glorious freedoms, and we all salute the same great American Flag.

And whether a child is born in the urban sprawl of Detroit or the windswept plains of Nebraska, they look up at the same night sky, they fill their heart with the same dreams, and they are infused with the breath of life by the same almighty Creator.

So to all Americans, in every city near and far, small and large, from mountain to mountain, and from ocean to ocean, hear these words:

You will never be ignored again.

Your voice, your hopes, and your dreams, will define our American destiny. And your courage and goodness and love will forever guide us along the way.

Together, We Will Make America Strong Again.

We Will Make America Wealthy Again.

We Will Make America Proud Again.

We Will Make America Safe Again.

And, Yes, Together, We Will Make America Great Again. Thank you, God Bless You, And God Bless America

There are some right here in Wisconsin who think this guy is a "wannabe dictator" and that his ideas must be fought and buried.

Well.  We'll see just who gets buried.

Poem for the Present Day?

Mundabor brings us a little offering from Kipling. 

It was not part of their blood, It came to them very late, With long arrears to make good, When the Saxon began to hate. They were not easily moved, They were icy — willing to wait Till every count should be proved, Ere the Saxon began to hate. Their voices were even and low. Their eyes were level and straight. There was neither sign nor show When the Saxon began to hate. It was not preached to the crowd. It was not taught by the state. No man spoke it aloud When the Saxon began to hate. It was not suddently bred. It will not swiftly abate. Through the chilled years ahead, When Time shall count from the date That the Saxon began to hate.

Earlier today, a talk-show hostess asked whether things are going so badly in this world that they will simply come apart soon.  That was after she noticed a story about Road-Rage-With-Shooting in Germantown, WI.--a most unlikely spot for such stuff.

We are assured that 'things will come apart,' of course.  But we never want it to be on our watch.

And we never want to be the Saxon, but it's darn difficult to maintain an even temper some days.

Shut It Down FOREVER? Your Lips--God's Ear!!

Nancy's giving us a Christmas present.

For Lack of 40K Votes, We Got Lefty Mad-Land

Kittle's column is dispiriting, to say the least.  Every single Far-Left battle-axe and wackadoodle is going to be "advising" Evers.  Killing babies, killing private schools, killing business.....

KILL 'EM ALL!!

Only 40,000 votes.....

Stupidest "News" Ever?

Apparently the news director at Channel Six can't find any actual news stories.

So he sends his reporters on Really Stupid Assignments like this one.

Watch the anchors' body language when they 'return to studio.'  Pretty much says it all.

Boy Scouts BK? Thanks, Rex Tillerson!!

This is not a surprise.

The Boy Scouts of America is considering declaring bankruptcy, according to a Wall Street Journal report.

The Wednesday report comes in the wake of sinking membership and multiple controversies surrounding the 108-year-old organization, including sex abuse allegations and its controversial decision to change its program name from Boy Scouts to Scouts BSA and allow girls into that program...

Allowing homosexual leaders was fatal; the "girls here, too!!!" thing was secondary.

Rex Tillerson doesn't like Donald Trump, but then--unlike Tillerson--Trump didn't vote to allow homosexuals into the Boy Scouts, did he?

Or Robert Gates, another Highly Educated And Extremely Smart Member of the Establishment.

This is why you got Trump, dumbasses.

Will Vos and Fitz Keep Up With Rahm??

George Mitchell was a fresh-faced reporter for the Wall Street Journal when I first met him in the early '70's; now he's a major supporter of the RoadBuilders--so he kinda likes increased gasoline taxes.  (He's probably not so fresh-faced any more.)

Alberta Darling decries the "condition of Wisconsin roads," apparently not having traveled on any of them for the last 5 years or so.  (Wake up and smell the concrete, Alberta!!!)

And of course, Robin Vos and Fitz, who want to slam money into the RoadBuilders' pockets but haven't figured out how to do it without getting strung up or tarred/feathered.

Well, for George, Alberta, Robin, Fitz, (and the RoadBuilders), we have Rahm Emanuel, providing cover for their upcoming larceny.

...Mayor Rahm Emanuel and a group of suburban leaders on Tuesday called for a 20 to 30 cent per gallon increase in the state’s gas tax to fund a major statewide transportation bill....

If you've been in the city of Chicago lately and purchased gasoline there, you know that it would certainly feel a little better with Vaseline.  Twenty or thirty cents more?

It's not difficult to fill up before hitting Illinois; soon it will be an economic imperative.

Come and Get It, Juan!

We are amused.

Two groups of Central American migrants marched to the U.S. Consulate in Tijuana on Tuesday with a list of demands, with one group delivering an ultimatum to the Trump administration: either let them in the U.S. or pay them $50,000 each to go home, a report said.  --quoted at Ticker

You want $50 large, Juan?  Come here and try to get it.

But before you try, answer this:  can you run faster than 950 feet per second?

Push-Button Start: Invitation to Grand Theft Auto

Lots of times, a car will be left someplace for another family member or friend to pick up.  Maybe they're arriving at the airport and you just cannot meet them there to bring them home.  So you leave the car in the parking lot with the key over the visor, or in the glove compartment, or in a "key-hide" magnetically stuck to the wheel-housing, or in the cavity for the gasoline filler-neck.

Whatever. 

Now comes the push-button start car.  Guess what?

That key, hidden in the car, allows ANYONE to jump in and start the car with the push of a button.  The key merely has to be close to the push-button to allow the start......

Time to re-think your procedure, friends.

Solar Panel: Poisoning the Earth (!)

Nobody ever accused Al Gore of thinking ahead. 

...The last few years have seen growing concern over what happens to solar panels at the end of their life. Consider the following statements:

- The problem of solar panel disposal will explode with full force in two or three decades and wreck the environment because it is a huge amount of waste which is not easy to recycle. ¹

- Solar panels create 300 times more toxic waste per unit of energy than do nuclear power plants. 

We are amused. 

The ultra-conservative Mark Neumann is plastering New Berlin with those damn panels.  Will Neumann recycle them, too?  If so, where? 

Random other question:  what's a "lifetime" for a solar panel?  Answer:  maybe 30 years.

Nancy's "Security" Like France's "Security"

Little Nancy, who deserves every bit of pee she got from Trump, doesn't really want "security."

Neither does the French government, which is Leftist, just like Nancy.

So there are problems.

...The gunman who shot multiple victims in Strasbourg had previously been convicted and was known to French intelligence as a possible ‘security risk,’ yet managed to slip through the cracks despite tightened security across France....

Four dead, 11 wounded.

NancySecurity!!

Border Security IS National Security, Nancy!

It was very, very, pleasing to hear Trump rip the snot out of Nancy and Chuckie.

BUILD THE WALL.

On Today's Situation, Secular and Religious

ZMan cannot be considered an optimist.

...The people who rule over us, whether you wish to use archaic terms like Marxist or socialist, or you like neologisms like cosmopolitan globalists, they do not see themselves as bound by the letter of the law, because  they see themselves as the spirit of the law. Tim Cook is not ready to declare himself a god, but he has declared himself the high priest of the new faith of the ruling class. There’s no mercy in the righteous and no reasoning with a fanatic.

Finally, the deafening silence from the people claiming to be in opposition to this growing tyranny, people like Ben Shapiro, is important. A lot of people on the dissident right think these anachronisms from a bygone age will wake up and begin to agitate on our behalf, but that will never happen. As has been explained many times, their real role is as defenders of the system. It’s why they hate Tucker Carlson so much. he actually talks about some of these things, thus exposing the perfidy of the Ben Shapiros of the world.

The part highlighted in red should be familiar to anyone who has discussed the documents of Vatican II with the Wack-A-Doodles who drool about the "spirit" of Vatican II.  Same stuff, different venue, but when you come right down to it, it's lying to create moral superiority.  Except, of course, there is little morality and the superiority is all in their heads.

TIGHT To Your Shoulder!

Did we say "Hold it TIGHT to the shoulder?"

Taking Out the (GOP) Trash

Paul Ryan will be leaving in January.   God is good.

There are others who will be leaving, too.

Fourteen of the 23 GOP members who signed the cheap-labor Discharge Petition amnesty in June will be gone from Congress in January.

The group’s wipeout came after they worked with House Speaker Paul Ryan to block the pro-American, compromise immigration reform bill prepared by Virginia Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the chairman of the House judiciary committee.

In June, the 23 members used the discharge petition process to push for a Democratic-backed amnesty of at least 3 million DACA illegals. That push gave political cover to Ryan while he created a second immigration bill which successfully split the GOP caucus amid unanimous Democratic opposition to Goodlatte’s bill....

If the door doesn't hit you in the ass, just call.  We know a lot of people who'd be happy to kick your ass to make up for it.

UW-Mad: It's Over by 2030

Yup.  Pack your bags, sell the stuff.

By 2030, you'll be cooked, according to UW-Mad people.

Not sure about this, but eliminating hot-gas emissions from newspapers, politicians, and random professors (and all their air-travel) will prolly cure the ills.

Don't Visit Central Africa

The raconteur of the West Coast tracks Ebola outbreaks.  Don't ask; it's what he does, among other things.

The central part of Africa is having a VERY serious outbreak.  You can read the graphs and the "why?" part of the story at his blogsite right here.

That said, this could get extremely serious in Europe (and yes, in the USA, but not as easily) in the next few months.

Think before you book the flights.....

Sanctimonious Sludge

Yah, they're sludge.

...The courts have ruled many times that prosecutors, FBI agents and police may lie, cheat, threaten, intimidate, coerce and deceive to extract cooperation and obtain evidence from witnesses....

Pretty much makes Trump--on his WORST day--nearly a saint in comparison.

We've already made our thoughts about the FEEBs (and the local wannabees such as John Chisholm and the State's Elections Board) pretty clear:  they are sludge.

And, surprise!!!  the "law" is on their side.

The Sandbag of the Century?

David Goldman, a/k/a "Spengler" a few years ago, has been on the Far East news-beat forever.  He knows whereof he speaks.

And here he puts forth a theory that the Deep State (Brennan's pals) sandbagged Donald Trump in the Huawei arrest.

Goldman thinks this could lead to very, very, serious stock-market and recessionary results.

So we owe the Deep State a lot of thanks, eh?

No Yellow Vests, Same Cause: Italy!!

As Belling often mentions, the MSM's best trick is NOT covering some stories.  (That's closely related to Satan's best trick:  persuading you he does not exist.)

Anyhow.

...in Rome, a buoyant crowd of at least 50,000 celebrated six months of power for the populist coalition that won power in Italy.

[Quoting CNN:] Far-right Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini attacked same-sex unions and promised to put "Italians first" during a rally in Rome on Saturday, as his government remained locked in deadlock with the EU over its proposed budget....

It's not just "co-incidence" that some Yellow Jacket demonstrators showed up in Brussels at the HQ of the EU.  And perhaps it's not just "co-incidence" that an armored vehicle with EU markings (!!!) showed up in Paris.   hmmmmmmm.

Who Should Pay for GM's Stupidity?

The Federal law providing a non-refundable tax credit of $7,500.00 for purchase of a new hybrid or all-electric vehicle is about to expire on GM.

And due to its horrible marketing, GM is in a sweat.

See, GM's electric products are sedans (both are small, ugly, and not particularly comfortable.)  But KIA, Hyundai, and Ford are bringing electric crossovers and SUV's to the market.  This is trouble, as sedans of any kind are simply not selling.  Actual, real-live "marketing" people could have told GM to get electric guts into its crossovers. 

But GM has not had a Chief Marketing Officer for a few years.  They didn't need one, ya'see??

Now GM, with plants in Red China, Canada, and Mexico, is closing US plants because nobody is buying sedans.  Their electric-car biz is near dead (sales figures are abysmal) and is not helped by the ridiculously high price-tag ($36K for a 4-door Volt, about $10K above an otherwise comparable Cruze.)

In short, GM is stupid.

Now they're begging the FedGov to toss another $20 BILLION around to help their sorry asses out, while they shut down US production facilities.

Nope.

Twit Goodell and the Fall of the NFL

Saw the headline on this a couple of times, finally read the story.

There was never a doubt that Roger Goodell is a PC twit, but this kinda puts the icing on the cake.

... Dallas Cowboys star Ezekiel Elliott is appealing his $13,369 fine for dropping $21 in a Salvation Army kettle following a score against the Washington Redskins.

“I mean, I didn’t really expect a fine, really don’t care about the fine,” Elliott told reporters. “It’s all for a good cause and we’re trying to bring awareness to the Salvation Army, and if the NFL doesn’t like that, then, I mean, that’s on them. I’ll pay their little fine.”...

The NFL's trouble with declining teevee ratings and revenues plus its trouble selling tickets for games (last week even Packer fans were noticeably absent from Lambeau) result from a combination of things including excessive hype, overexposure, greed, and PC crapola.

Las Vegas is building a stadium.  I wonder if they'll be able to pay it off.

Green Wackies Get Lumps of Coal for Christmas

The Polish people had no use for Marxist communism, and have no use for Marxist "clean energy" stuff either.

So....

...How beautifully symbolic it was that, when those 22,000 officials, politicians, green lobby groups and others descended on Katowice in Poland for the UN’s latest mammoth climate conference, they should find its exhibition centre decorated with neat stacks of coal and were greeted by a band from local collieries.

Katowice is the centre of Poland’s coal industry, which provides 82 percent of all its electricity; and, with the backing of the Polish government , the conference is jointly sponsored by local coal companies, of the kind the UN wants to see driven out of business....Sunday Telegraph via Breitbart

Those clever Poles also defied the anti-Christian (Marxist, BIRM) twits with a reminder of Christianity's importance; that is that the Green Weenies were presented with lumps of coal just before Christmas.

Heh.

Never-Elected McCallum Stays Limp

Scott McCallum, undoubtedly a gamma-nice guy, remains a rare bird:  a never-elected ex-Governor of Wisconsin.

Oh, the very nice Scottie was elected to the Assembly, and happened to be #2 on a Thompson ticket.  Then, when Thompson went to D.C., Scott became Governor.

Temporarily.

Now he wants Walker to go flaccid, just like Scottie.

Some things never change.

The Screwing "Yellow Jackets" Didn't Get--Yet

A somewhat unhappy Brit lament which is VERY familiar to many Wisconsin residents.

I forked out $1,100 this week to an auto-mechanic to fix a “problem” non-existent just six months ago.

My Volkswagen, you see, is no longer fashionable. It’s a dirty diesel. That trusty lump of German steel failed its annual roadworthiness test. To the delight of the auto-mechanic.

“New laws, mate,” he said with a muted glee, my floppy hairdo somehow thickening his joy.

“Pumps out black smoke—polluter,” went the decree.....

The story differs from the Wisconsin experience in a few ways, but the principle is the same.  Wisconsin's government formally assists the National Regime in screwing its own citizens, especially the working poor, with "air pollution offenses" that are largely meaningless--but horribly expensive.

Don't look to Republicans in the Legislature to cure this, nor the "Friend of the Poor" Evers.  This is the classic Estabishment-Government example of regulations made to crush citizens.

The Yellow Jackets got crushed by taxes and lout-ish "refugees."  We get crushed by Fees, Fines, and lout-ish elected officials.

Hmmmm.

Schadenfreude!! Regulators Threaten a (D)

Heh.  Sen. Ron Wyden (Left-o-Wacky) is married to a bookstore owner.

And the business is being threatened by a NYC regulatory "commission."

Har-de-har-de-har......!!!

Burying The Weekly Standard

A well-deserved epitaph for a war-mongering Never Trump outfit.

...Ultimately, it was a magazine by, of, and for the effete, smug, perennial-loser collaborationists now scornfully referred to as cucks—and the cucks and their Liberal-Lite governing philosophy have finally exceeded their sell-by date. The Left despises them, in spite of the cucks’ eternal quest to court their favor and acceptance; the new New Right—brash, muscular, eager to do real battle with the Left not on the Left’s terms but its own, undeterred by the necessity of getting down and dirty in order to secure meaningful victories—has no use for them; and the market for mushy, ineffectual, dithering pedantry has become, shall we say, bearish. So the Standard is going out not with a bang but with something more akin to the squeaky honk of a halfheartedly-suppressed fart in public: mildly embarrassing, and best overlooked by all present....

Not much to add to that.  As usual, ColdFury does an excellent job.

Is Amnesia Transmitted By Hugging?

Apparently, the Very Honorable and Upright James Comey has a serious case of amnesia.

He hugged Hillary Clinton--who also had a serious case of amnesia, as you recall.

(We don't think Comey kissed Hillary.  He may not have integrity, but he's not crazy.)

Another (D) Fraudster

Gee.  The MSM---and Robert Mueller--are ignoring this.

Congresswoman-elect Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.) did not disclose the name of the source of funds for a fellowship that was paid by liberal billionaire George Soros—as required by the House ethics committee—and also disclosed a lesser amount than she received, according to a review of tax and financial disclosure forms.

Oh, well.  Just another Federal criminal-in-office.  She'll have plenty of company, anyway--but not in prison.

Hey, Paul Ryan!! Go Back to Ireland!

We note that Paul Ryan has literally snuck through legislation which would both legalize illegal Irishmen in the US AND increase the quota for Irish immigrants.

Yah, well.

Based on what we know about Paul Ryan, who gets scummier every day, perhaps the legislation should be stopped in its tracks in the Senate and instead, Paul Ryan should simply move to Ireland.  After all, abortion is legal there, too, so he can pay taxes there and fund it!!

And as you'll learn at the link, it is Paul Ryan who single-handedly protects the Obama FBI, DOJ, and White House from.......ahhh........"inquiring minds" such as Jim Jordan.

Yes, it would be disconcerting to learn that the FedGov was engaging in a war against its own citizens during the entire Obama reign--and even more disconcerting to learn that the Establishment GOP *cough* Ryan & McConnell (another mick!) were complicit then and compliant now.

Disconcerting enough so that Macron's little problem might just jump the Atlantic.....

So About Red China

Interesting little 1-graf excerpt here about the situation Red China is in vis-a-vis the Trump Tariffs.

...While the US stock market may drop 200 to 300 points a day during the recent trade turbulence, the American media tries to play this up as the beginning of the end. Even though a dovish Fed announcement regarding interest rates can reverse months of losses in mere minutes, if you listened to any economist on the MSM networks, you would get the impression that the sky is perpetually falling. Looking across the Pacific, the Shanghai Index has lost 20% of its total value this year alone. If that happened to Wall Street, then we would be living through another Great Depression right now. That’s how catastrophic a simple 10% tariff on a quarter of the Chinese goods we import can have. I’ve noticed that for the duration of the “trade war” China has had very muted and calculated responses....

The Reds have problems.  They cannot feed their population single-handed; they cannot provide the petroleum their people consume single-handed.  They lie, cheat, and steal to or from anyone--which does not make for lasting alliances (albeit, as with the Clintons, some alliances can be purchased--if they stay bought...)

Let not the MSM disturb you too much.  It's tense, but Xi Dictator has problems.

Wanna Do the Crime, But Not Do the Time?

Move to Suffolk County, MA., where a Soros-funded babe is now D.A.

Crimes no longer to be prosecuted:

offenses of shoplifting,
trespass,
threats,
and larceny under $250m
disturbing the peace,
disorderly conduct, and
“minor driving offenses,”

(And B&E, so long as you've made sure the property is not inhabited!)

Merry Christmas!

Lock Them Up!!

What goes up, must come down.....spinning wheel got to go 'round....

It's actually within the realm of possibility that the Clintons will go to prison--Club Fed--within their lifetime.

Of course, Charlie Sykes will write an impassioned letter requesting "community service only" when they are convicted.

FBI Begins "Public Corruption" Campaign

Really!!

The FBI, which employed such Pillars of Integrity as James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Robert Mueller, a couple of sack-sharing conspiracy twerps, and several other criminals (indicted or not) who have "resigned," or have been outright fired for interfering with a Presidential Election....

Yah, that bunch.

Now they're looking for "public servants who are corrupt."

You cannot make this up.....

The FEEBS have been on a PR campaign for a few months, of course, realizing that in the minds of any normal American, they are a pile of dogshit-with-guns.  Good luck with that!

Sykes Returns to 'Lefty Shill' Status

Charlie Sykes used to describe himself as 'a recovering liberal.'

Yah, well, he fell off the wagon.

Not only did Sykes vote against Trump (by voting for some unknown Establishment twit), but he then took jobs with the Weekly Standard and PMSNBC.  Charlie is very unhappy with Trump's policies regarding trade, taxation, and the Invasion From the South, I guess.  Oh--and since the Weekly Standard is the country's foremost cheerleader for War With Every Other Country except Israel, one suspects that Charlie kinda likes those war-footed economies, especially since his children won't be in the Armed Forces.

In short, Charlie has lost his mind.

But that doesn't deter him from lecturing Scott Walker about "civility."

Charlie, we are not interested in being "civil" with the party which brought us ObamaCare, "Waters of the US", the enormous hikes in energy-cost, the above-mentioned Invasion, the shocking, immoral, un-Constitutional, and illegal (not to mention abusive) John Doe scandal, and regulation of every damn thing we do, not to mention the Normalization of Perversion--and the forced tax-funding for the Holocaust of Planned Parenthood.

Screw them, their horses, and their cucky little scriveners.

Merry Christmas!

Super Bowl Whine

Gee.  We'll have to send a CARE package to this poor baby.

...“One of my players makes $2 million a year, and it will cost him $80,000 more now because he can’t deduct state taxes [over $10,000], agent fees, workout clothes, meals and entertainment, and his cellphone,” says Steven Goldstein, a CPA with Grassi and Co. in New York who works with over a dozen professional athletes and celebrities. 

And players who make tens of millions of dollars a year will potentially pay hundreds of thousands more a year in taxes....

Quick!  Set up a Go Fund Me for Aaron Rodgers......

Mordor's Wealth: Still Growing

It should come as no surprise that populism is beginning to flex its muscles.  The sodomization of US citizens continues, regardless of the Trump Interruption.

The five richest counties in the United States when measured by median household income are all still suburbs of Washington, D.C., according to American Community Survey data released today by the Census Bureau.

In fact, ten of the top twenty richest counties in the country are suburbs of Washington, D.C., according to this new data....

The inbreds of the Ivy League, supplemented with a few other 'name' school-grads, have made damn sure that they are well taken care of through the Government "of the people, by the people, for the people."

Well, we certainly know 'for WHICH people.'

Italy, Hungary, Poland, and now France have begun to see the light, and Trump has started the conversation here.  But it will take more than a few years of Trump--who has been flummoxed, stymied, and back-stabbed continually.

Let's hope that the "more than" is merely elections, eh?
