It's Not Your Grandfather's Democratic Party

                The Democratic Party of today bears little or no resemblance to the party as it was just a couple of generations ago. Both major U.S. parties have moved to the left over the years, but the Democratic Party has traversed the most ground. It is no exaggeration to say that there is a greater difference between the modern-day Democratic Party and the party as it stood in, say, 1960, then there was between the Democratic Party pre-Obama and the Republican Party of the same time. The Democratic Party is now essentially a Socialist-Marxist pastiche of special interest groups, the aggrieved, and the coastal, big-city elites, all cheered on, aided and abetted by their mainstream media collaborators. The party’s views and platforms haven’t just evolved or been fine-tuned over time, the old ones have been tossed out, expunged and excommunicated, replaced by radical new ones that are literally the antithesis of the old.
                Don’t believe me? Let’s revisit John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address of 1960 and compare his remarks then to those of today’s Democratic leaders. If we pay close attention, we might discern some subtle differences in values, policies, and outlook. He opens:
            “Vice President Johnson, Mr. Speaker, Mr. Chief Justice, President Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon, President Truman, reverend clergy, fellow citizens:
                “We observe today not a victory of party, but a celebration of freedom -- symbolizing an end, as well as a beginning -- signifying renewal, as well as change. For I have sworn before you and Almighty God the same solemn oath our forebears prescribed nearly a century and three-quarters ago.”
                Almighty God? The same solemn oath our forebears prescribed? This Christian nut-bag is mixing church and state! And we must distance ourselves from what the old, white “fathers” believed!
                “The world is very different now. For man holds in his mortal hands the power to abolish all forms of human poverty and all forms of human life. And yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forebears fought are still at issue around the globe -- the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state, but from the hand of God.”
                Natural rights?! Seriously?! The God thing again? The state gives us our benefits! Ever tried to get “God” to pay for anything?!
                “We dare not forget today that we are the heirs of that first revolution. Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans -- born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage, and unwilling to witness or permit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed, and to which we are committed today at home and around the world.”
                Heirs of the revolution? Proud of our ancient heritage?! Like slavery, or what?

                “Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of liberty. This much we pledge -- and more.”

                That doesn’t sound very inclusive and hospitable! This guy is a xenophobic, nationalistic war-monger! He is reckless and racist, intolerant and unstable! He’ll say anything. Who knows what he is capable of?
                JFK continued: “We dare not tempt them with weakness. For only when our arms are sufficient beyond doubt can we be certain beyond doubt that they will never be employed.”
                He wants to pay for tons of weapons so that we never have to use them? Couldn’t we spend that money on something more important, like making sure all bathrooms are transgender-friendly, Muslim outreach, or making sure that preschoolers have adequate access to free contraception? And isn’t showing your weakness and vulnerability a good thing? I mean it opens you up to more real and raw relationships, right? I mean, we’re all the same at heart. Let’s just talk to our “enemies” and we can meet in the middle, right?
                “In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine, will rest the final success or failure of our course. Since this country was founded, each generation of Americans has been summoned to give testimony to its national loyalty. The graves of young Americans who answered the call to service surround the globe.”
                National loyalty? What about appeasing Iran, China and Russia? God Damn America!
                “In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility -- I welcome it. I do not believe that any of us would exchange places with any other people or any other generation. The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it. And the glow from that fire can truly light the world.”
                This clown thinks that the U.S is exceptional. Obama was right when he said that all nations believe they are exceptional.

                “And so, my fellow Americans, 
ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.”
                What? How would I know who to vote for? How could this guy ever have been elected President?
                Camelot? The notion itself evokes images of royalty and privilege.
                 JFK would literally be considered a “right-wing extremist” by those in the mainstream of his party today. His frequent references to Christianity and respect and reverence for the Founders would have troubled many modern “Democrats.” His belief in a massive, unconquerable defense and the principles and values that founded this nation, his fondness for freedom and America’s “mission,” natural rights and the rule of law would have marked him as a xenophobic, intolerant “Alt-right” threat to progressivism. Throw in his massive tax cut and belief in American exceptionalism and he would have been anathema to the Democrats core constituency/special interest groups of today.
                Occupy Wall Street? Bernie Sanders? Revisionist history? Cradle-to-grave “care” by the state? Vast restrictions on speech and religion? Gun control?

                Americans, you are living through the Second October Revolution…a slower, quieter one, but one with the same tragic destination.

Philadelphia Couple Beaten To Death By Own Son

                 A suburban Philadelphia couple was recently beaten to death by their own son while inside their New Jersey home, authorities said Saturday, according to a Fox News report. Edward Coles Jr., 58, and his wife Rosemarie Coles, 55, of West Deptford, were found dead by another family member Friday morning. The couple's son, 28-year-old Ryan Coles, was arrested on murder and weapons charges. His bail was set at one million dollars. The Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office said that the couple died from "blunt head trauma" and alleged that Ryan Coles had bludgeoned his parents "with his hands and an unknown object."
                 Richard Head, a spokesman for the Sons-Beating-Their-Own-Parents-To-Death-In-Their-Homes Community expressed sympathy for Ryan and outrage over the outrage that his acts have engendered, particularly among those he categorized as “dangerous, radical, Alt-right extremist groups.” Head said: “Ryan is a very sensitive person. He saw a Donald Trump campaign commercial on television- there was no trigger or content warning!-and he may have overreacted, though both of his parents were Trump supporters. I say ‘Let those without sin cast the first stone’ at Ryan.”
                In related news,  17-year-old Brittanee Drexel, who vanished from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in 2009, was repeatedly raped in a gang “stash house” for several days –  and was subsequently shot dead and fed to alligators when her disappearance generated too much media attention, the FBI stated last week.
                Karl Stalin, a representative of the ACLU, is pleading for leniency for her killers, stating that: “the Repeatedly-Raping-Shooting-Dead-And-Feeding-Others-To-Alligators Community is not just “poorly served,” but “overtly discriminated against in the United States.” Stalin added, “The wheels of social justice spin slowly in America, but change does occur.  Gay marriage and  transgender bathroom rights weren’t even on the agenda for most of the 20th Century, but now are firmly established. Increasing inclusiveness- and tolerance of others not like oneself- will eventually spread to other groups, hopefully including the Repeatedly-Raping-Shooting-Dead-And-Feeding-Others-To-Alligators Community.”

Bill And Hillary Clinton Donate To Their Favorite Charity: The Clintons!

                Bill and Hillary Clinton earned $10,745,378 last year according to their newly-released tax returns, primarily from public speeches. The Clintons raped colleges and universities in particular, sometimes to the tune of two or three-hundred-thousand-dollars per bloviation.
                The power couple, who professed to be penniless upon leaving the White House after Bill’s second term, did give a significant amount of their income to charity last year, though. The duo claimed $1,042,000 in charitable deductions for 2015. A mere $1,000,000 of that went to their very own Clinton Family Foundation. (The Clintons actually have two separate “non-profits,” the Clinton Foundation and the Clinton Family Foundation, and have total control of each entity’s funds).
                The other $42,000 was selflessly given to Desert Classic Charities, a group that hosts an annual PGA golf event. Coincidentally, Doug Band, a Clinton Foundation adviser and Bill Clinton’s longtime assistant, was on the board of directors of that organization until 2015, according to its IRS filings.
                In a completely unrelated bit of inexplicably fortuitous financial flukery, Desert Classic Charities then proceeded to contribute $700,000 to the Clinton Foundation. Remarkable! And DCC only gave out a total of $1.6 million dollars to every possible charitable cause on Earth in 2015. They must’ve really thought the Clinton Foundation was the “bees knees” if they gave nearly half of all their donations for the year to this one astoundingly altruistic Clinton Fund.
                In summation, the Clinton’s “donated” $1,042,000 and ended up with $1,700,000 more in their two Foundations. They personally ended up $658,000 ahead! Talk about “giving ‘til it hurts”! Is there no end to their largess? I guess it’s true that you do have to give if you want to receive. You can’t make this up! Purveyors of multi-level marketing scams, ponzi schemes, routine “pay-for-play” endeavors, and classic old shell-games have to blush and give a doff of their collective hats to this dynamic Democratic duo!

Colin Kaepernick Refuses To Stand For National Anthem

                San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick again refused to stand for the playing of the national anthem before his team’s preseason loss to Green Bay at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara Friday night.
                "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color," Kaepernick told NFL Media in an exclusive interview after the game. "To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."
                According to NFL.com, the 49ers issued the following statement about Kaepernick's decision: "The national anthem is and always will be a special part of the pre-game ceremony. It is an opportunity to honor our country and reflect on the great liberties we are afforded as its citizens. In respecting such American principles as freedom of religion and freedom of expression, we recognize the right of an individual to choose and participate, or not, in our celebration of the national anthem."
                Kaepernick isn’t the first or only professional athlete to refuse to stand for the national anthem. Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, who was known as Chris Jackson prior to converting to Islam, refused to acknowledge the flag while playing for the NBA’s Denver Nuggets. Abdul-Rauf said that the banner conflicted with some of his Islamic beliefs.
                Kaepernick, who hasn’t played since last November, lost his starting job last season due to poor play and injuries. He made his preseason debut against Green Bay, completing two of six passes for 14 yards. Following the game, 49ers coach Chip Kelly said that there has never been any talk of cutting Kaepernick. Kelly said that, despite his quarterback’s comments, he will make “football decisions” only about Kaepernick.
                Kaepernick should leave his mansion behind and get out and visit some of the world’s real garden spots so he can see what oppression and murder actually look like on a grand scale. I’m certain Colin would be more than happy to live in, say, North Korea. Syria or Sudan, perhaps?
                The most recent Global Slavery Index (GSI) estimated that nearly 30 million people remain enslaved globally, many of them in Africa. Only the U.S., Western Europe and Australia are essentially slave-free. Ironic, isn’t it? I’m sure Colin perused the GSI before making his “statement.” Mauritania alone has well over 100,000 slaves in its midst, while Benin, the Ivory Coast, Gambia, Gabon and Senegal all have comparatively high rates of slavery, as well.
                Kaepernick signed a 6-year, $114,000,000 contract with the 49ers, with $61 million of it guaranteed. This is an average annual salary of $19,000,000, or $1,187,500 per game. Not bad for someone who may not even start.
                The median annual per capita income in Liberia is $118. In Niger it’s $307, Uganda $296. (To be fair, it’s $579 in Sudan)! No, you certainly wouldn’t want to appear “selfish” Colin.
                Kaepernick is biracial, and was adopted and raised by white parents and siblings.
                I will certainly be exercising my right not to stand for Colin Kaepernick.

North Korea Threatens To Destroy All U.S. Bases In The Pacific

                North Korea’s Kim Jong-un and his Pyongyang government have threatened to destroy all U.S. military bases in the Asian-Pacific Region if Washington should dare to take “an insane step,” according to a statement by North Korea’s own Foreign Ministry.
                The Hermit Kingdom, yet again faux-alarmed at the annual defensive military exercises between the U.S. and South Korea, has branded the U.S.’s deployment of strategic bombers on Guam “a very alarming signal.”
                The North’s statement avers that if the United States dares to take that insane step, “all the U.S. military bases in the Pacific Operations region, including the island of Guam, will not escape destruction by our army’s comprehensive and real attack.”
                Comprehensive and real? What nation has to stipulate that its attacks will be “real?”

                In all honesty, while the insane comments from Kim Jong-un have been mildly amusing at times, if the U.S. had a “real” president, he would take KJ out back and bitch-slap him.

President Obama Hasn't Fulfilled Promise To Family Of ISIS Victim

                President Obama promised the parents of Kayla Mueller, an Islamic State hostage victim, that he would donate to a foundation set up in her name. That was 17 months ago. His promise remains unfulfilled.
                ABC News reported on the vow at the time it was made, with Kayla’s father Carl Mueller saying: “He says ‘I will help that foundation.’ He says ‘you won’t know, it’ll be an anonymous donation, but I will,’” in describing the President’s March, 2015 meeting with the grieving family. Mr. Mueller now says, “I’m still waiting for that donation Mr. President.”
                According to a Fox News report, the White House confirmed the president has not made the donation- but said he intends to.
                Apparently he had to pay off Iran first.
                The Muellers also claim the administration threatened them with prosecution if they paid ransom to ISIS to get their daughter back.


                I guess that’s only a president’s prerogative.

Military Religious Freedom Foundation Says Bible Frightened Air Force Personnel

              Military Religious Freedom Foundation Says Bible Frightened Air Force Personnel

                Air Force Major Steve Lewis, a supervisor at the Reserve National Security Space Institute at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, is in trouble. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation is demanding that he be “aggressively punished” for having an open Bible on his desk.
                “It (the Bible) is very obviously a statement of Christian preference, Christian primacy,” MRFF founder Mikey Weinstein told Todd Starnes of Fox News. “Had that been the Book of Satan or the Koran there would be blood in the freaking streets.”
                Mikey, you are exactly wrong… on both counts. There is blood in the “freaking” streets, largely because of radical Islamists. Yet we treat the Koran’s of even suspected (or known!) terrorists with kid gloves, by literally wearing white gloves so as to protect and respect them. The slightest inferred insult to Islam or Mohammed is often met with an outbreak of horrific violence, whereas Christianity is openly, gleefully, mocked in every way, shape and form by Hollywood, the “artistic” community (remember “Piss Christ?”), academia and the mainstream media. It is nearly impossible to find an American television show or movie that doesn’t feature the taking of the Lord’s name in vain on multiple occasions. Christian’s reaction to this continual onslaught of sacrilege? None.
                Therein lies the real problem, Mikey. That some are even seriously upset that the Book of Satan may not be afforded the same respect as the Bible is proof positive of the rapid degradation of society. Heaven versus Hell? Good versus evil? People in a sane society are not supposed to be unbiased between these concepts.  That’s kind of the whole point, Mikey.
                Mr. Weinstein went on to accuse Maj. Lewis of “harboring and encouraging a truly abhorrent example of First Amendment civil rights violations.” One doesn’t “harbor” an example, Mikey. Nor does one “encourage” an example, but, improper language usage aside, your point is not well taken. In fact it’s ludicrous. Forcing Maj. Lewis to remove his Bible from his desk would be a violation of his First Amendment rights. You see, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were put in place to put strict limits on what the government could force its citizens to do, not to limit its citizen’s freedoms in an attempt to ensure no one ever risked being offended. Progressives always attempt to turn this fact inside out, as they do with most other ones, as well. Mr. Weinstein, overbearing fraud that he is, fervently wishes to take away Maj. Lewis’ religious freedom.
                Weinstein claims he received complaints from 33- unnamed- Air Force personnel, stating, ”We have 33 very scared Air Force families.” Really? “Very scared?!” Of a Bible on a desk? If that is true, how would they be able to fight ISIS or other enemies of the United States?
                If that is true, that is truly scary.
                                                              ***********************

                (After this was written, the air force ruled it will “allow” Major Lewis to keep his Bible on his desk, “If he wishes.”).

China Fabricates 488 Million Social Media Posts Yearly, Study Shows

                A recent study led by Gary King, a political scientist at Harvard University, revealed that China’s government fabricates roughly 488 million social media comments a year in a massive effort to distract its citizens from bad news and sensitive political debates, i.e. the truth.
                King led a group of three scholars who specialize in utilizing quantitative data to analyze public policy. They ran the first systematic study of a group known as the “Fifty Cent Party,” China’s online propaganda workers who are popularly believed to be paid 50 Chinese cents (8 cents American)  by the government for every social media post. The researchers found that nearly all the posts were written not by ordinary citizens, but by workers at government agencies including courts and tax and human resource departments. The researchers found no evidence that people were paid for the posts, adding the work was probably part of the employees’ job responsibilities. These government employees work to distract public attention from hot topics by highlighting the positive, cheering the state, symbols of the regime and the Communist Party’s current “successes” and glorious revolutionary past.
                "In retrospect, this makes a lot of sense -- stopping an argument is best done by distraction and changing the subject rather than more argument,” King said via e-mail.

                Experts in the United States are busy analyzing the data. One of them, on condition of anonymity, told me that he “was floored-just absolutely blown away- by the sheer number of false and fabricated posts that China blitzes their social media with every year.” Putting the staggering output into perspective, he exclaimed, “Dear Lord, that’s nearly half as many false statements as the Hillary Clinton campaign puts out there on a yearly basis. Extraordinary!”

Terrorist Mastermind To Be Released From Guantanamo Bay

                Encep Nurjaman, known as “Hambali,” is suspected of being Al-Qaida’s chief of operations for Southeast Asia. He is described as an “operational mastermind” of Jemaah Islamiyah, the militant group responsible for bombing a Bali nightclub in 2012. The attack killed more than 200 people.
                Nurjaman recently appeared before a Guantanamo Bay review board, his first public appearance since his transfer to “Gitmo” nearly a decade ago. The review board process gives prisoners a chance to argue for their release. The move is in keeping with president Obama’s desire to shutter the base by the end of his term, now just five months away.
                By contrast, Darren Sharper, a former NFL star, has just been sentenced to 18 years in prison for serially “date-raping” a number of women over the course of several years. It is my opinion that he richly deserves the “harsh” sentence, and must be held accountable for his abhorrent actions. That said, are we to let a terrorist leader- one responsible for the deaths of hundreds of innocent men, women and children- go free after spending a much shorter time incarcerated?
                Consider this: the U.S. government’s own statement, read at the hearing, characterized Hambali as a continuing security threat, calling him “steadfast in his support for extremist causes and his hatred for the U.S.,” and stating that, “He most likely would look for ways to reconnect with his Indonesian and Malaysian cohorts or attract a new set of followers” if he were released from Guantanamo.

                President Obama?

U.S. State Department Essentially Acknowledges Country Paid Ransom For Hostages

                The State Department finally acknowledged Thursday that it delayed releasing a $400 million cash payment to Iran until it was assured that a plane carrying three American prisoners had left Iran. Again, U.S. officials admitted that they did not allow the Iranians to take control of the money until a plane carrying the erstwhile hostages departed the capital city of Tehran.
                Yet those same Obama administration officials flatly denied that they paid ransom in order to obtain the release of the American prisoners. In an incredibly delicate- yet amazingly bold- verbal dance, State Department spokesman John Kirby said negotiators had “deliberately leveraged” Iran’s desire to procure its cash from a decades-old arms deal in order to make certain that the authorities there would not renege on their promise to free the three Americans. (The three were- coincidentally- flown out of Iran on the very same day that the nuclear agreement between Iran, the United States, and five other world powers was implemented). Knowing that the mainstream mass media is completely in the tank for the Democratic Party, Kirby baldly insisted that there was no quid pro quo of money for prisoners. (Gee, I wonder if a similar argument would’ve worked for Oliver North and the Reagan administration in an attempt to defuse a budding Iran-contra scandal?).
                So, did the U.S. pay ransom? No! It simply “deliberately leveraged” Iran’s desire for the money.
                Surely this qualifies for the Euphemism Hall of Fame alongside other great obfuscations, fabrications and misdirections, such as:
                Terrorist attack? No. Man caused violence. Islamist radical? Nope. Insurgent. Incest? Of course not, perish the thought. Genetic attraction syndrome!
                 Got drunk and raped a girl? Nah. A simple matter of beverage-induced non-consensual physical communication!
                A king’s ransom? Nothing more than a large, “deliberately leveraged” benign payment from one party to another.
                “Run along. There’s nothing to see here!” said the king.

                In fact, there is no here… here to see.

NBA To Move All-Star Game From North Carolina In Support Of Transgenders

                The National Basketball Association announced in July that it was moving its 2017 All-Star Game from Charlotte, North Carolina to a venue in another state in response to the passing of North Carolina’s House Bill 2, which prohibits the use of government bathroom facilities by transgenders. The NBA’s decision to relocate the game will cost the state an estimated $100 million in economic benefits.
                Robert Pittenger (R-NC), wrote a letter to NBA commissioner Adam Silver, pointing out that, while the Chinese government carries out forced abortions and organ harvesting, the NBA none-the-less continues to blithely schedule (pre-season) games in China. He wrote, “Is the NBA implying China’s abhorrent violation of basic human rights is acceptable, but North Carolina’s saying men shouldn’t use the girls’ locker room is a bridge too far?”

                Bravo, Rep. Pittenger. Nothing but net, sir. Nothing but net.

Ohio Man Has Sex With Van

                A Dayton, Ohio man was recently arrested for allegedly engaging in public fornication…with a van.
                An eyewitness called 911 and reported seeing the suspect pull down his pants- exposing his genitalia- and subsequently “sticking his genitals in the grill of a red van,” according to news reports. The caller said the man appeared to be intoxicated, as he passed out in a yard upon completion of his vehicular tryst. The caller added that the man got up some time later and stumbled away.
                A second caller led police to a nearby street where the man was discovered walking along clad only in shorts and shoes. He was apprehended without incident and was taken to a police station and charged with public indecency. The officers also tracked down the owner of the van, who said he saw the miscreant passed out in the yard, but nothing before that.
                NAMVLA, the North American Man Vehicle Love Association, promptly tweeted out its support for the car lover, and is pushing for the legalization of man-vehicle marriage in all 50 states.
                An acquaintance of the man remarked that he “had favored white vans in the past,” but was “maybe in a mid-life crisis or just experimenting.”
                The red van, when reached for comment, stated that it just hopes the man “calls or writes soon,” and that “next time we can go to dinner and a show first.”

Twitter Suspends 235,000 Accounts For Promoting Terrorism

                Twitter has suspended 235,000 accounts that promoted terrorism over the past six months, according to news reports. The company said this was part of an effort to prevent people from using the social network for extremist causes. This brings the total number of accounts the company has suspended to 360,000 in little over a year. (How many terrorists have Twitter accounts?!).
                According to the New York Times, Twitter is also attempting “to find a way to reconcile its free speech stance with how women and minorities can be targeted on the service,” by “bullies, racists and extremist groups.”
                As a public service I offer this general guideline for Twitter to follow: If any account issues tweets in an attempt to plan, organize, promote, aid or abet the mass murder of innocents- or “infidels”- these accounts are used by terrorists and should be immediately shut down.
                If however, the tweets simply convey a strong disapproval of, say, gay marriage or transgender bathrooms, with no threat of violence, this is called free speech and is protected by the very First Amendment to the U.S Constitution. I offer the following examples to help in clarification:
                Example Tweet I- “Who wants to help in the slaughter of dozens- hopefully hundreds!- of gay boys and women, Jewish sons of pigs, and assorted other infidels? We will make the streets of a major Southern city in the Great Satan flow red with the blood of infidel mongrels! Please call: (555)-666-6969 and ask for Mohammed. Thank you.” This is an example of a terrorist tweet/threat.
                Example Tweet II- “I simply do not believe that gay marriage should be considered as equally sacred as a union between a man and a woman, due to the obvious difference in child bearing potential, etc. Also, I don’t believe men who claim to identify as women should be allowed to use women’s bathrooms. I am not comfortable with the thought of my young daughter using the same lavatory as an older person with male genitalia.” This is an example of free speech.
                It took Twitter a long time to start “suspending” accounts such as that of example one. I bet it won’t take them much longer to start suspending accounts such as example two.
                Such is the state of our union- and the planet- circa 2016.

Louisiana Devastated, Obama Golfing

                Milwaukee burned. President Obama was on vacation, golfing at Martha’s Vineyard.
                Much of Louisiana is under water, caskets are floating down the streets in some locales, already more than 70,000 people have registered for assistance under the federal disaster declaration, at least 13 are dead, 8,400 in shelters. Most of Louisiana has gotten at least a foot of rain in the past week, some areas as much as 30 inches. There are over 40,000 homes damaged. Thirty thousand people have been rescued so far. Where is the President?
                Golfing at Martha’s Vineyard (with Larry David!). He’s on vacation, you know.
                The state has been declared a major disaster zone by the United States Government. Anna Johnson lives near the state’s capital city of Baton Rouge. She told reporters: “We’ve never seen anything like this. It’s worse than Hurricane Katrina. My husband is on rescue missions right now. He has a boat and he’s helping local sheriff’s departments.”
                You may remember how Obama savaged then president Bush 11 years ago, characterizing him as incompetent, uncaring, disengaged and slow to react to the crisis brought on by Katrina. Campaigning for president just a few years later he ridiculed Bush for flying over the floods in Air Force One, stating: “We can talk about what happened for two days in 2005 and we should. We can talk about the levees that couldn’t hold, a FEMA that seemed not just incompetent but paralyzed and powerless, about a president who only saw the people from the window of an airplane instead of down here on the ground.”
                Several days have gone by and Obama hasn’t even flown over Louisiana to get a first-hand look at the damage. Maybe if someone could drive him there in a golf cart he’d agree to make the trek. But don’t worry, the president has been briefed on the catastrophe and has sent Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson to survey the area! (He couldn’t even spare Biden?).
                The mass media has, for the most part, shown no interest whatsoever in comparing president Obama’s actions- or lack thereof- to president Bush’s eleven years ago. Irony and fairness are concepts with which they appear to be entirely unfamiliar and uncomfortable.
                That said, the Baton Rouge Advocate- a newspaper based at the epicenter of this calamity- echoed the desperate cries and pleas of many Louisiana residents. It opined: “Now that the flood waters ravaging Louisiana are receding, it’s time for President Barack Obama to visit the most anguished state in the union. Last week, as torrential rains brought death, destruction and misery to Louisiana, the president continued his vacation at Martha’s Vineyard, a playground for the posh and well-connected. And if the president can interrupt his vacation for a swanky fundraiser for fellow Democrat Hillary Clinton, as he did on Monday, then surely he can make time to show up for a catastrophe that’s displaced thousands.”


                Donald Trump will visit the flood-stricken areas tomorrow.

U.S. To Give Iran The Bomb

                There are several things the U.S. should be giving Iran right now. We should be giving them “the finger.” We should be giving them “the business.” At the very least, we should be giving them “the cold shoulder.” We should not be giving them cash and the okay to build new nuclear plants, yet that is precisely what we have done in recent days.
                        Obama administration officials recently informed the Washington Free Beacon that Iran is permitted to pursue the construction of two (newly announced) nuclear plants under the parameters of last summer’s nuclear agreement. Tehran will be doing just that, under orders from President Hassan Rouhani. In fact, Ali Salehi, Iran’s top nuclear official, announced on Thursday, August 11th that Iran has invested $10 billion in the construction of two new nuclear plants after receiving orders from Rouhani, according to reports in Iran’s state-controlled media. Salehi also stated that Iran would continue to produce excess heavy water, a nuclear byproduct that can provide the material for a nuclear weapon.
                Incredibly, the United States reportedly committed to purchasing more than 30 tons of the heavy water from Iran earlier this year in order to help keep it in line with restrictions imposed by the nuclear deal. Back to Ali Salehi who added: “Iran’s heavy water production surplus is currently on a sale agenda and our nuclear industry is functioning well.”
                Iran’s heavy water production surplus is currently on a “sale agenda?” WTF? “Attention budding dictators and terrorist shoppers, the blue light is in the nuclear materials aisle where you’ll find incredible prices on nuclear weapon building blocks! Remember, all sales are final… and thank you for shopping Ali’s Armory at Bombs Are Us!”
                One congressional source told the Free Beacon,  “The Obama administration seems committed to making Iran into a nuclear power. They’ve purchased heavy water from the Iranians, as if the Iranians were legitimate nuclear suppliers, which they’re not. They’ve made excuses for Iran seeking to procure nuclear parts from Germany and elsewhere. And now they’re celebrating Iran building full-blown reactors. All of this is the exact opposite of what they promised Congress, and for good reason, since Congress is committed to ensuring Iran never gets the infrastructure to be a screw turn away from a nuke,” said the source.
                The president might just as well save some time and personally deliver to the Iranians- the planet’s biggest sponsor of terrorism- an assortment of our nuclear missiles, warheads, military secrets, current launch codes and blueprints for future weapons systems.

                This is not just a case of inexperience, weakness or even recklessness. There is something else at work here. And it is sinister.

Graceland Protest

                Today is the 39th “anniversary” of the death of Elvis Presley. Each year on this date throngs of “the King’s” fans make an annual pilgrimage to Graceland- his Memphis estate- to commemorate his passing. This year they were joined by the Coalition of Concerned Citizens (COCC), an amalgam of perpetually aggrieved groups, including Black Lives Matter, who announced their intent to “shut down Graceland” via a massive protest. Classy.
                What did the King do to piss off Black Lives Matter types? First off, Graceland is a large antebellum style home. Progressive protesters can’t cotton to the idea of a rich white guy living in a large home…unless it’s a progressive rich white guy like Bernie Sanders. (See yesterday’s post).
                Secondly, many blacks believe Elvis profited by “re-appropriating black music” and selling it to the white mainstream. Colonel Sanders invented Kentucky Fried Chicken, but many blacks like eating it. Why should they be allowed to “re-appropriate” his chicken? Haven’t all minorities “re-appropriated” Edison’s light bulb? I mean, where would disco have been without strobe lights?
                To the morons who are using the mourning/celebration of a cultural icon in an ill-conceived attempt to advance their own agendas, all I can say is: “Don’t Be Cruel. Only Fools Rush In... In the Ghetto.”
                ‘Jailhouse Rock’ would sound good about now.

Bernie Sanders Purchases Opulent New Summer Home

                Socialist rock-star Bernie Sanders, that champion of the poor, disenfranchised and downtrodden, has purchased a gorgeous new four bedroom, three bath summer home on Vermont’s elite and pricey Lake Champlain. (“This campaign is about ending the grotesque level of wealth and income inequality that we are experiencing…”).
                The Bern’s spectacular new crib cost just under $600,000 and is located  in the island community of North Hero, Vermont. Sanders’ majestic seasonal get-away has 500 feet of prime Lake Champlain beachfront, sits on 1.1 acres, and includes a guesthouse. (“This campaign is about creating an economy that works for all of us, not just the one percent!”).
                Bernie and his clan will, of course, keep their existing Vermont home in Burlington’s New North End. Oh, and their fashionable row house on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. (“This campaign is about that homelessness is increasing and that tens of millions of Americans, because of a lack of affordable housing, are paying 40, 50 percent or more of their limited incomes to put a roof over their heads.”).
                Channeling his inner Rev.  Jeremiah Wright (of “God Damn America” fame-  who lives in a mansion in a gated community), Bernie Baby has become one of the precious few people on the planet to own three or more homes. (“This campaign is about ending the pain of a young, single mother in Nevada, in tears, telling me that she doesn’t know how she and her daughter can make it on $10.45 an hour. It’s about the reality that millions of our fellow Americans are working at starvation wages. It is about ending the disgrace that too many veterans still sleep out on the streets”).
                Yes, Sanders’ has managed to parlay his Marxist shtick into multiple roofs over his head. Maybe he’ll let the Black Lives Matter Movement use his new guesthouse.

                Feel the Bern?

Clinton Estate Protected By Border Fence

                Add Hillary Clinton to the ever-growing list of progressive hucksters who mock others for wanting a fence erected to protect the U.S.’s southern border while their property and persons are firmly ensconced behind a massive assortment of walls, bulwarks, barriers and barricades.
                I have previously written about walls protecting the Vatican, White House, Democratic National Convention and assorted leftist pol properties. According to the Americanmirror.com, the Clinton’s Chappaqua, New York, estate is similarly defended by fortifications running along the entire border of their property. In fact, aerial photos reveal that Bill and Hillary’s ramparts lack only a moat, guard tower and pill boxes to keep them separated from the Great Unwashed.
                That the majority of the people don’t see the vile, staggering, hypocrisy on display here- or at least fully understand it- is due in part to the even stouter walls the mainstream media has put up to shield them from the truth.

We Can't Ban Evil

                Progressives believe the way to stop violence and increase happiness is to ban everything. Ban guns. Ban ammunition. Ban assault trucks. Ban axes. Ban machetes. Ban knives. Ban baseball bats. Ban weed-whackers. Ban air conditioning. Ban refrigerators. Ban inhalers. Ban shirts with the names of firearm manufacturers on them from our school grounds. Ban fracking. Ban DDT. Ban oil exploration. Ban nuclear power plants. Ban hate-speech (except their own). Ban the Ten Commandments from appearing in public. Ban pastors from reciting certain Bible passages. Ban designated-sex bathrooms. Ban the sale of soft drinks in containers over 16 ounces. Ban trans-fats…do you see a pattern?
                All of this is purportedly for ‘our own good.’ But banning things is not progressive, is not the answer. We are a train racing blindly down the wrong track…towards a deep, dark abyss.
                Inanimate objects aren’t the problem. The “problem” is evil. We can’t ban evil. But we can recognize its existence. And we can fight it and defeat it.

                That is precisely what must happen, if we are to prevent the extinction of freedom and morality.

"People Of Color Only Need Apply"

                A Pitzer college co-ed published a Facebook post stating that non-white students in need of housing should reach out to her or the two other non-white students with whom she plans to share an off-campus house. The post from Kare Urena, class of 2018, reads: “POC (people of color) only” will be considered for this living opportunity. “I don’t want to live with any white folks.”
                Understandably, some perceived the post as racist and non-inclusive.
                But AJ Leon, also class of 2018, and a member of the Pitzer Latino Student Union, responded thusly: “This is directed to protect POC, not white people. Don’t see how this is racist at all.” People of color only need apply? Yep, can’t see how this is racist at all! Where would we be without our institutes of higher learning?

                Can you imagine if a white person in a similar situation had written a Facebook post saying: “Only whites will be considered for this living opportunity. I don’t want to live with any black folk?” He or she would’ve been permanently dismissed from campus and sent to a re-education camp- if he or she was lucky and didn’t run into any “Only Black Lives Matter” types.

Communist Party USA Chairman Endorses Hillary

                The Communist Party USA is all in with Hillary! The CPU sent a crew of seven “reporters” to cover the Democratic National Convention last month. According to WND.com, the following are actual excerpts from their coverage:
                “Donald Trump steals wages. He’d pick your pocket in a New York minute. He lies and spreads hate. He’s a racist and a bully.”
                “Do not underestimate Trump and the Republicans. While the establishment GOP was surprised by the successful insurgency of so-called outsider Trump, they are united in purpose: delivering more inequality, more misery, more instability and violence against working-class people of all races, genders, religions and sexual orientations. They are united with giant corporations and the billionaire class in their drive to lower wages and living conditions and increase their profits and power.”
                “With Senator Bernie Sanders endorsing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton the message was loud and clear, ‘We’re stronger together.’ That is what it will take to win in November.”
                “The union movement, communities of color, students, women, progressives and the newborn ‘political revolution’ can help generate voter enthusiasm by talking and tweeting about Clinton and the issues. Challenging sexism is a must as well as racism, which has been a coded (and overt) staple of presidential elections for decades.”
                Perhaps some Democratic drivel debunking is in order here. Those sporting tinfoil hats should be reminded that Trump doesn’t steal wages, he pays them. He doesn’t pick anyone’s pockets, but you will happily vote to shake down anyone with a few dollars in their bank account, in order to redirect those people’s money to any of your pockets that you pick. He is not a profligate liar, but his opponent- that you are endorsing- demonstrably is, as is her husband. He is neither a racist nor a hate-monger. Nor is he a “bully.” His opponent- one Hillary Rodham Clinton- and her husband- is/are, and perhaps always have been, serial bullies. She bludgeoned any and all of the women who attempted to out Bill as a serial rapist, even as her husband almost certainly went on serial raping. Obama- and now Hillary- have been the ones engaged in unprecedented attempts to divide and polarize the nation, promoting class-warfare and entitlement, while fanning the flames of victimology, envy and hatred.
                “Delivering more inequality, more misery, more instability and violence against working-class people of all races, genders, religions and sexual orientations” is precisely what modern-day Democrats/Communists policies do.  “They are united with giant corporations and the billionaire class in their drive to lower wages and living conditions and increase their profits and power.” They must have the people miserable in order to ensure that they vote for them because of their promises and rhetoric. Ironically- or I might characterize it as Satanically- they promise the people that they will alleviate the very problems they have created and continue to deliberately nurture and exacerbate.
                Democrats famously fought each and every Republican attempt to integrate African-Americans into the culture at large. Working class people are now voting for Republicans in droves. The white working class will not vote for Hillary. Democrats receive more money per donation than Republicans do. The modern Democratic core voter/donor is a fabulously wealthy Hollywood actor or actress, Wall Street type, high-powered lawyer, mainstream media mogul, or such like. Democrats may like “newborn revolutions” but they do not like newborn babies. They may loudly proclaim their love for religious freedom, but they have nothing but disdain for Christians while simultaneously extolling the virtues of secularism, atheism and Islam, that much misunderstood “Religion of Peace.” And the Jews? The Obama administration treats Israel like it has treated the Constitution of the United States: It alternately ignores it, tramples on it, shuns it, and abets the possibility of its complete destruction.
                For many decades, the CPU ran its own candidates for president and vice-president. That, of course, was when there still existed significant, substantive differences between the Democrats and the American Communists. “Back in the day when Stalinists Gus Hall and Angela Davis were regularly nominated by the party as presidential and vice presidential candidates every four years, the U.S. Communists actually had beefs with the Democrats,” Joseph Farah- founder of WND.com- and a former revolutionary communist himself in his youth said recently. “But, in recent years, the party ceased those efforts in favor of a united front with the Democrats, with whom they have very few differences, if any.”
                        John Bachtell, national chairman of the Communist Party USA, voted for Bernie Sanders in the Illinois primary last March and credits The Bern with helping to usher socialism into the American political mainstream. However, he now says it is essential to back Hillary Clinton in the national election.
                That should tell you everything you need to know.

Olympic Rings Represent Racism

                Who decided what color Olympic ring stood for what land mass/people? And why aren’t progressives protesting the obvious stereotyping involved? Most of us know that the five famous rings  each represent a specific region of the Earth that sends contestants to the storied Games. But, let’s take off our rose-colored glasses and have a closer look.
                Blue stands for Europe? Of course it does, with their Aryan-blue eyes and their blue blood.
                Black stands for Africa. Couldn’t be more obvious than that!
                Red for the Americas? Yes, as the “real” Americans, the original inhabitants, are Redskins, like the football team in the U.S. capital.
                Yellow for Asia? Naturally, the yellow man lives there.
                Green for “Oceania?” Nobody in the world- even in Oceania- could tell you what the hell Oceania means or precisely where it is. Most can’t spell it or properly pronounce it. It is generally considered to encompass lots of islands in the South Pacific Ocean. There are lots of trees and Muslims there, so green it is!
                Still not convinced that this is deliberate racism? In place of these openly hurtful hues, I offer the following suggestions:
1)      One solution would be to arbitrarily, randomly draw the five colors out of a hat, so-to-speak, and assign each in turn to one of five envelopes containing the five regions represented. This way, even if, say, Africa somehow drew black again, it would be documented that it was not an intentional slur.
2)      We could just mix all the colors together and then make all five rings whatever color was produced by doing so.
3)      We could make the Olympic symbol just one ring. By dispensing with four of the rings, we would make the clear statement that we are all together as one. Moreover, we could make the ring contain all five colors of the former rings, each covering exactly 1/5th of this new Olympic-sized “O.”


Ours. Open. One. Overall. Optimum. Olympic. Yaaay!

Man Self Identifies As Vampire Named "Darkness"

            “Darkness Vlad Tepes” has been living as a vampire for 13 years. He sleeps in a custom-made coffin and drinks cow’s and pig’s blood, as well as a human blood “substitute.” (Sold at fine grocery stores everywhere! Just add water!). He follows a strict balanced diet which keeps him away from fatty foods. (Fat bad, blood good! Why, he’s a regular nutritional role-model! “Remember to cut down on fats and drink at least 8 cups of animal blood daily, boys and girls!”).
            Darkness says he “just wants to be treated like everyone else.” He admits that until recently he’s had very few problems from other people, but claims he was recently harassed at a pub in Oswaldtwistle while out for a drink with friends. Darkness, who is 25, says he was verbally abused there because of his appearance. According to the USA Today Network via the Lancashire Telegraph, Darkness stated: “I went into the pub with two mates and a lad piped up and asked if I was abused as a child when I was young because of the way I look.
            “I felt so ashamed and embarrassed that I would get asked such a personal question based on my choice of lifestyle. Everyone has their beliefs and I don’t believe I should be persecuted for following mine. I might be a vampire but I just want to be treated like everyone else. People have got to accept the fact that what’s normal to them is not normal to us, and what’s normal to us is not normal to them.”
            Darkness, who changed his name by way of a legal document called a deed poll, said he first became attracted to the vampire lifestyle as a teenager. “My life was always a secret until I came out two years ago," he said. (Came out of the coffin?).
             “To be a vampire is to believe that I have a living body but a dead soul. But I think there’s a lot of pre-conceptions about being a vampire from films and books like Twilight or Dracula. Garlic doesn’t affect me and I can quite happily walk around in the sunlight. The coffin is purely a choice option to being a vampire, it’s one that I do because it feels right.”
            Darkness has lived in Blackburn, England, since 2012, and said he is high up in an East Lancashire “coven” of vampires called Underworld. “Being a vampire is difficult and of course there are struggles in everyday life," he said. "But I’m happy to stand by my choice.”(He just doesn’t want to face any consequences).
            According to sanguinarius.org, an online resource for ‘real vampires,’ a vampire is "someone who incorporates fictional vampire imagery and trappings into his or her personal life, often cultivating a ‘Vampiric’ physical appearance. This is including but not limited to a very pale complexion, a wardrobe made up predominantly of dark clothing, a style of dress which is modeled on Victorian or Renaissance fashions, black or blood-red lipstick, sunglasses, fangs, and FX contacts.”
            Thanks for clearing that up.
            This, in turn, led me to pursue the definition of ‘sanguinarius.’ Here it is, according to theurbandictionary.com: “Someone in the vampire life style who has a physical thirst, need, craving for blood (which is non-erotic in nature) in more significant quantity than is generally required or desired by other blood-drinkers. Sanguinarians (a word from the Latin root ‘sanguinarius’, meaning ‘bloodthirsty’) apparently do not get the benefits from pranic energy, or else they are unable to feed psychically like psi and energy vampires, for whom blood and pranic energy are apparently interchangeable.”
            What was your favorite part of that delicious definition? Mine was “… in more significant quantity than is generally required or desired by other blood-drinkers.”  Apparently sanguinarians are the most bloodthirsty of vampires, beastly, blood-besotted bogeymen on a perpetual banshee bender!

            Free speech or no, you and I don’t have the moral right to question or judge Darkness. Remember, there is no such thing as abnormal behavior anymore. Anyway, we wouldn’t want to be non-inclusive and make Vlad feel ashamed and embarrassed again, poor dead soul. Who knew vampires were so thin-skinned?
