On the Fact that We Still Don't Know How Trump and Pence Were Able to Retain Those Thousand Carrier Jobs in Indiana

It makes a difference (the fact that if it was due to Trump's economic policies, that would be good but if it was more a by-product of cronyism and coercion, yeah, not so much) and, besides, the American citizens have a right to know - the bottom-line.  

On the Fact that in 1955 (According to the Association for the Study of the Cuban Economy; June of 2003), the Riviera Casino in Las Vegas (Just this One Casino) Had More Gambling Action than the Entire Island of Cuba Did (with Gambling Being but a Tiny Fraction of that Country's GDP)

So much for Meyer Lansky and the mob running Cuba and the warped belief that a person can best learn the history of pre-Castro Cuba by watching "The Godfather 2" (a la, Michael Moore, Jon Stewart, etc.).

On the Fact that in the the Perverse Mind of the Modern Feminist, Any Sexual Act, Even One in Which There Is No Force, No Inequality, and No Coercion, Can in Fact Be Considered Rape, Depending Upon the Woman's Mind-Set, a Paradigm in Which One Can Quite Literally Assert a Lack of Consent SECONDS AFTER IT WAS GIVEN

So men have to be mind-readers, I guess.......Good luck with that.

On the Fact that Ms. Magazine Recently Compared America's University Administrations to ISIS

That is full-bore insanity. To even suggest that America's colleges are on a par with ISIS, a murderous, barbaric, and slant-headed organization that uses not just sexual torture but torture across the board and kills people for the most preposterous of slights, IS LUDICROUS. If anything, these colleges and their administrations have bought hook, line, and sinker the entire feminist philosophy and are sticking to the male students (males getting kicked out of school because the chick has a change of heart the next morning and claims that she was raped).......ISIS, yeah, not so much. 

On the Bizarre Notion that the American Founding Fathers Eliminated British Rule Just so that They Could Reestablish a Strong Central Authority of Their Own

Yeah, I really think that we need to start teaching logic in school 'cause this is pure bullshit (the fact that anybody could come to this fascistic fantasy and expect to be taken seriously AND ARE)................................................................................................P.S. And, yes, the major stumbling block here is the public school system itself in that the state clearly has a vested interest in continuing the paradigm that they and only they should retain the reins of power.    

On the Denial of Rape-Culture Being Proof of Rape-Culture

Again, we need to teach logic 'cause if we don't this type of fuzzy thinking will continue to prevail (the notion that a verbal negation of something affirms that very thing being extremely illogical).......Aristotle for beginners maybe. 

On the Compatibility of Political Islam with Western Values

There isn't a plus-nickel's worth (the fact that radical Islam doesn't believe in free speech, freedom of the press, women's rights, gay rights, a separation between church and state, diversity in any real sense, etc.) and because of this, yes, we need to be exceedingly careful as to who we allow in this country. I mean, I understand that this a spear in the heart of multiculturalism and all but cultural suicide isn't exactly an appealing eventuality, either. Yes, Trump is a buffoon and he articulated his position on this matter awkwardly at best but at least he recognized this incongruence and that to me is better than having one's head in the sand 24/7.

On the Fact that John Podesta's Last Missive on Twitter Was November 7th

Yeah, if somebody had falsely accused me of being a pedophile, I would be going nonstop to defend myself. Yes, he does have the right to keep his yapper shut and, yes, he is innocent until proven otherwise but I challenge anybody to go on Wikileaks and look at those disturbing Podesta Emails and try to conjure up with a more plausible explanation. ANYBODY.

On the Fact that the Social Networking Web-Site, Reddit, Has Banned All Accounts Related to Pizzagate (the Scandal that Centers Around Those Creepy Podesta Emails and the Pizza Place in D.C. Where a Lot of These Miscreants Hang Out) While Continuing to Allow Perverts Such as "Pedofiends" to Post with Impunity - http://redditmetrics.com/r/pedofriends

It's disgusting and probably a big reason as to why so many folks have been leaving sites like Reddit and Twitter and moving on over to Gab (which thus far hasn't been censoring people I've been told).

Note to Carlos Santana

While I appreciate your guitar-work, the Che Guevara hero-worshiping, yeah, not so much. a) The guy was a murderous bastard who played a crucial role in the firing-squad deaths of 16,000 political prisoners (none of whom received a trial). b) He oversaw a prison system in which both men and women were routinely and hideously tortured (and, no, we aren't talking water-boarding here, either). c) He had zero respect for civil liberties and helped to create what was essentially a police state and gulag system. And d) he was a genocidal madman whose ultimate goal was to nuke the U.S..................................................................................................Look, I get it, it's cool in your little clique to dig Che and you're probably not the most learned man in the hemisphere but, dude, COME ON, there's gotta be some sort of limit as to how far left that you clowns are willing to take this shit. There's gotta be..................................................................................................P.S. My source for the 16,000 deaths is the Black Book of Communism and my source for this asshole wanting to nuke the U.S. is Che himself; "If the missiles (from the Cuban missile crisis) had remained, we would have used them against the very heart of the U.S., including New York. We must never establish peaceful coexistence. In this struggle to the death between two systems we must gain the ultimate victory. We must walk the path of liberation even if it costs MILLIONS OF ATOMIC VICTIMS (emphasis mine)."......So, ya' still gonna wear that fucking t-shirt, amigo?

On the Fact that Raul Castro Once Uttered that it Was His Dream to "Drop Three Atomic Bombs on New York"

So the left has no problem with this genocidal madman but Trump is Hitler? Wow, huh?

Saturday, November 26, 2016

On the Claim by Ben Shapiro and Other Neocon Ramrods that Rand Paul Is an "Isolationist"

Yeah, this is essentially the same horseshit that "The Nation" and other war-mongering interventionists were saying about people like Robert Taft and Russell Kirk back in the '30s and '40s. It didn't make any sense then (the fact that Taft and Kirk weren't so much isolationists as they were non-interventionists; a distinction that was apparently just as baffling to the progressives of yesteryear as it is to the neocons of today) and it makes even less sense now (the fact that our interventions have almost uniformly led to chaos and unintended consequences making us even less secure).............Of course, if Mr.Shapiro, Brett Stephens and the rest of these chicken-hawk war-mongers of fighting-age desire to volunteer THEIR services, yes, by all means.......  

On the Fact that the U.S. Homeland Security Department Has Simultaneously Stated that the U.S.-Mexican Border Is "Safe and Secure" and that the Mexican Drug Cartels Have Successfully Infiltrated Nearly 300 U.S. Cities and Represent One of the Country's "Most Serious Organized Crime Threats"

That just might be the most poisonous piece of double-speak in U.S. history (and, yes, that is saying quite a lot being that we've had so many idiotic Presidents; Fillmore, Wilson, FDR, George W. Bush, etc.), and if you're still scratching your noggin as to why Trump won, yeah, I don't know.

On the Belief that Voter Fraud Doesn't Exist............Except When Republicans Win

My head hasn't gone back and forth this much since Mats Wilander and Ivan Lendl played that epic 5 set final at the 1987 U.S. Open. Seriously.

On the Palatial New Mormon Temple that Just Went Up in Farmington, Connecticut


Well that's one religion that isn't hard-up for money (and, yes, thankfully they aren't using that money to blow people up).

Friday, November 25, 2016

On the Fact that the Left Made a Monstrous Deal Over Trump Saying that He Might Not Accept the Results of the Election but Now that They've Lost They're Protesting, Rioting, and Even Making Claims of Voter Fraud

Would somebody please wrap up a consistent moral yardstick and put it under their Christmas tree, for Christ?......A couple of irony stocking stuffers, too.

On the Fact that (According to Transparency International - https://freedomhouse.org/report/countries-crossroads/2012/mexico) Mexican Drug Dealers Dished Out $2.75 Billion in Bribes to that Country's Law Enforcement Officials

And we wonder why over 90% of the violent crimes in Mexico go unsolved. There's gotta be a connection.

On the Brain-Diseased Notion that the Best Way to Fight Fascism Is to Bequeath the Government with Additional Might

A less logical thing I've never encountered EVER and, yet, it continues to be the most prevalent paradigm in BOTH parties. Heaven help us.

On Anthony Weiner Checking Himself Into a Rehab Facility for Sex Addiction

YA' THINK?

On the Fact that Philadelphia D.A., Seth Williams, Has Recently Established a Hate-Crimes Task-Force for the City

Yeah, because there's sooooooooooo much white on black crime in Philadelphia (the fact of the matter of course being that interracial crime to the extent that it does exist in America's cities is predominantly black on white and black on Asian and that you'd have to be a demagogue and/or delusional to try and assert otherwise).

On the Fact that of the 22 Major Party Candidates Who Ran for the Presidency this Year, Only a Handful of Them Were Smart Enough to Know that Getting Involved in the Middle of a Syrian Civil War Was a Ridiculously Stupid Idea and One of Them, Like it or Not, Was Donald Trump

Principled anti-war liberals should at least give the guy credit for that, no?

Wednesday, November 23, 2016

On the Concept of Letting Google, Verizon, Cable News, and Mark Zuckerberg Predominantly Determine What Constitutes "Fake News"

Yeah, what could possibly go wrong with that (as I laugh myself to shear exhaustion)?

On the Fact that (According to Thomas Sowell, the Brookings Institute, and Other Researchers) Isolation (Geographic, Economic, etc.) Robustly Correlates with Poverty

President Trump just might want to consider this fact as he moves ahead. Hint, hint.

On the Fact that Communist Party Honcho, John Bachtell, Stated Back in February that He Would Support Hillary Clinton for President if Bernie Sanders Didn't Get the Democratic Nomination - http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-05-31/communist-party-leader-voted-for-sanders-will-back-clinton - Quick Addendum

And what do you say that we do a little calculation here? Yes, the KKK did lynch black people (white people, too, but nobody cares about them; the fact that lynching was just as much a form of vigilante justice as it was a product of straight-up racism) but we're talking 4 to 5,000 here, Yeah, that's a lot but when you compare it to Marxism, a philosophy that has slaughtered somewhere between 85 and 100 MILLION, I don't know, folks, it seems to me that Trump isn't the only person who needs to do some "repudiating", "disavowing", "distancing", etc.. 

On 1950s and '60s Actress and Sex-Kitten, Carroll Baker




Kind of a cross between Tuesday Weld and Brigitte Bardot, and even though her Hollywood star didn't prevail all that long (a decade and a half about - not including her foreign films), still gotta rank her way up there, I think. A baby-doll, indeed.

On the Fact that U.N. Foreign Diplomats Continue to Receive Immunity for Parking Tickets (Not to Mention for Other Crimes), $16 Million Worth and Counting

Time to put a screaming halt to that crap, I'd say......................................................................................................................P.S. The biggest offender? Egypt. Hardly a surprise there.

Tuesday, November 22, 2016

On the Fact that Japanese Immigrants to the U.S. in the Early 20th Century Worked Predominantly as Domestic Servants and Gardeners and In Spite of Paltry Wages and Unbelievable Access to the Money and Valuables of Their Employers Virtually NEVER Pilfered from Them

So much for poverty causing crime and culture not mattering.

On the Fact that The U.S. and N.A.T.O. Bombed Yugoslavia Back Into the Stone-Age (Murdering Countless Civilians in the Process) Over a Genocide that Wasn't Taking Place and All But Ignored the Actual Genocide that Was Raging in Rwanda

Now this is something that black folks SHOULD be pissed off about (and certainly a topic for "conversation"). Wouldn't you say?

On the Fact that the Chevy Bolt (Even with the Humongous $7,500 Tax Credit) Is Twice as Expensive as the Chevy Sonic (an Auto that Gets 35 MPG on the Highway) and You Don't Have to Plug the Sonic in

Yeah, I gotta go with the Sonic here (I'm a Nissan guy but if I was to buy a Chevy), especially now with gas being so inexpensive and me not buying the whole CO2 is killing the earth narrative. But, hey, if you want to get reamed, knock yourself out.

On the "Hate Speech Isn't Free Speech" Bromide

Sorry, snowflakes, it's pure bullshit. The First Amendment protects all speech including hate speech (the exceptions of course being calls to violence and mayhem) and who in the hell is going to be the arbiter of what is and isn't hateful? The government? You and your fellow SJWs? Yeah, right.

On the Dangers of Political Correctness

“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.” Theodore Dalrymple - sizes it up pretty well, doesn't it?

On the Absolute Certainty that I Will Hold President Trump to a Much Higher Standard than Partisan Leftist Buffoons Like Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, Lawrence O'Donnell, Octopus, Tao, and Flying Junior (the Latter Three Having Only Slightly Less Notoriety, Relevance, and Heft than the Former Three) Would Have Held a President Clinton to

There's precious little that you can take to the bank these days. Feel free to, this.

The Biggest Winner of this Election Cycle (the Biggest Loser of Course Being the American Public)?


As far as I'm aware, there was only one news anchor who obliterated Newt Gingrich AND Donna Brazile and her name is Megyn Kelly. I vote for her (plus I love the new short hairdo).

On the Fact that at the Same Time that the Congressional Black Caucus Was Praising Raul Castro as Some Sort of Hero, the Black Human Rights Activist, Orlando Tamoyo, Was Being Unspeakably Tortured to to the Point of Irreparable Damage by His Cuban Jailers

So it's just not enough to be the tool of white leftists, they have to be the tool of Stalinist madmen as well. How disgusting.

Note to CNN's Don Lemon

Yes, Steve Bannon did say that Breitbart News provided a "platform for the Alt Right". But he's also made numerous other comments in which he adds significant nuance to the subject (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI0aAVh0dJc&t=3192s - fast-forward to 3:30) that you/CNN were either a) unaware of due to a lack of research or b) cognizant of but chose to ignore because you wanted to deceive your viewers. And, while, yes, I understand that the media continues to be in full-scale crisis mode due this election (and just for the record, I didn't vote for Trump or Hillary in that neither one met my minimum standard for President), if you really and truly wanted to know how how the orange guy got elected, look in the mirror, Don, it's all right there.   

Sunday, November 20, 2016

On the Fact that Not Only Do Asian-Americans Outperform White Folks When it Comes to Income and Education, They Also Commit Far Less Crime

Yeah, it must be because of those Asian Founding Fathers and the Asian privilege that they worked so tirelessly to impose upon a fledgling nation.......At least that's the only thing that I can think of (the fact that it couldn't possibly be because they work harder, have a more intact family structure, etc.).

Saturday, November 19, 2016

On the Daily Beast's Assertion that Trump Adviser, Steve Bannon, Might Be a Little Bit "Too Shady to Handle Secrets"

Yeah, as opposed to Hillary Clinton, John Podesta, and the rest of that merry band of "patriots" who were just sooooooooooooo careful and meticulous when they handled classified material. Makes sense to me!

On the Fact that Laura Ingraham Is Apparently Being Considered for Press Secretary in a Trump Administration

Well, being that she's been shilling for the guy 24/7 and for the better part of 15 months, it's probably an OK choice.

On the Fact that Communist Party Honcho, John Bachtell, Stated Back in February that He Would Support Hillary Clinton for President if Bernie Sanders Didn't Get the Democratic Nomination - http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2016-05-31/communist-party-leader-voted-for-sanders-will-back-clinton

And the media ignored it as if it was the plague (as opposed to the way that they crucified Trump simply for not condemning David Duke quickly and vociferously enough). How fucking pitiful.

On the Fact that on July 9th, 1979, "Newsweek" Ran a Cover Story on the Energy Crisis and Claimed that We'd Be Out of Oil Within a Decade

And we're still swimming in the stuff (talk about a crisis......for the environmentalists!!). Go figure, huh?

Friday, November 18, 2016

On the Fact that Rand Paul Is Now on the Record as Saying that He Will Strenuously Oppose John Bolton if Trump Nominates the Dude for Secretary of State

The last sane Republican comes through yet again. THANK GOD.

On the Fact that Leftist Blacks Like Harry Belafonte, Jesse Jackson, the Congressional Black Caucus, etc. Always Seem to Be Heaping Praise on the Castro Brothers

They're evidently unaware that 80 to 90% of the prison population in Cuba is black and that blacks are treated horribly all throughout that society. Oops, OOPS - http://babalublog.com/2014/05/06/reports-from-cuba-blacks-and-mixed-raace-still-marginalized-in-cuba/

On Donald Trump's Assertion that the Iran Deal Was the Most Poorly Negotiated Deal in All of World History (or Words to that Effect)

I'll bet you ten dollars and a six pack that he's never read so much as a paragraph of it, and that he's simply spewing words that he thinks that the conservative base wants him to say. I could be wrong but I doubt it.

On the Fact that Trump Sycophants and Boot-Lickers Are Presently Flooding Amazon.com with Negative Reviews of Megyn Kelly's New Book (a Large Chunk of Whom Have Most Certainly Never Read it)

To steal a phrase from Donald himself (on another topic), stop it!

On the Fact that There Are Numerous Countries All Throughout the World (from Zimbabwe, Rwanda, and Uganda to Japan, Vietnam, and South Korea) that Strive to Be Racially and Ethnically Homogeneous and Who Are NEVER, EVER Criticized by the Leftists as Bigoted and/or Ethnocentric

Is there anything that these fascistic creeps aren't hypocritical about?......'Cause I'm still lookin', folks.

On the Fact the Left, Instead of Concluding that Their Candidate Was a Dishonest, Corrupt, and War-Mongering Battle-Axe/Crony Who Played a Role in the Destruction of Countless Nations, Ran Interference for Her Predatory and Sleazy Husband, Threatened the Iranians with a Nuclear Strike, and Who Apparently Screwed the Dirt-Poor Haitians, Is Doubling Down on the Racism Charge and Even Inferring that Everyone Who Voted for Trump Is Some Sort of Vile White Supremacist

They are playing with fire and I strongly advise them to reconsider (if for no other reason that it's counterproductive; the concept of insulting tens of millions of voters being bound to backfire).

Thursday, November 17, 2016

Note to Samantha Bee

You stupid bitch. You stupid, stupid bitch. Yes, Trump is a douche-bag and, yes, he's said some sexist things (though, to be fair, Rosie O'Donnell did threw the first salvo in their little spat) but your candidate, your goddess, Mrs. Clinton a) took copious amounts of money from Qatar and Saudi Arabia, two of the most misogynistic countries on the planet and still won't criticize them, b) denigrated the women who her husband has been accused of sexually assaulting and having affairs with (calling them "trailer trash" and other such insults), c) defended a child-rapist and did so in a manner that was so loathsome (essentially putting the youngster on trial) that it wouldn't have been allowed with today's rape-shield laws, d) wants to normalize relations with Cuba, a renegade country that has imprisoned and tortured THOUSANDS of women just for having a different political view, e) supported the sanctions in Iraq, a policy that caused the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, f) has threatened Iran with a nuclear attack, and g) has royally (along with her philandering husband) fucked up (via graft and cronyism) the Haitian rebuilding process to the tune of thousands of women and children starving to death...............................................................................................................Look, if you want to support Hillary as the lesser of two evils, that's fine. Just don't give me a bunch of bullshit about Hillary being some great supporter of woman 'cause she isn't.  

On the Concept of the Leader of the Free World Tweeting Out His Random Thoughts at 4 AM Every Morning

It's different. I grant you that.

On the Fact that Mrs. Clinton Seemingly Didn't Care for Trump's Description of Partial-Birth Abortion

And how pray-tell would she characterize this procedure? The way that I see it, the dude wasn't graphic ENOUGH and probably should have explained in detail the horrid nature of dilation and extraction (in which the baby's brain is punctured and sucked out) and dilation and evacuation (in which the baby is poisoned and carved to shreds) and have Hillary choke on that. At the very least it would have made for some riveting television.

On the Fact that Leftist Imbeciles Like the Sock-Puppet, Jersey McJones, Are Now Attempting to Blame Trump for All of the Anti-Trump Rioting and Destruction Which Is Currently Taking Place in Big Cities All Throughout the Country

You cannot answer words with violence and anybody who thinks that you can is an illiberal, fascistic, poorly-read piece of garbage who's capacity to look in the mirror, assess oneself, and think outside the box is about as low as the human species can go. Sorry but that's how I see it.

On the Fact that Leslie Stahl Seemingly Felt the Need to Grill Donald Trump Over Hateful Speech that Some of His Supporters May Have Uttered (She Provides No Audio or Video Evidence) but Doesn't Feel that Need to Grill Obama and Clinton Over the Fact that Thousands of Their Supporters Are Rioting All Across the Country

There are a lot of things that Trump said during this campaign that I disagree with (on trade, infrastructure spending, immigration, etc.) and, yes, he has a penchant to strong-arm his positions but on this point; media corruption/bias, the dude nailed it and if anything he wasn't strident enough (the fact that these scoundrels would go after Trump with no solid evidence and let the liberals skate in spite of copious evidence).

On the Mexican Government's Hypocrisy on Illegal Immigration

  A pretty good summary right here, folks.............................................................................................................P.S. And, no, I'm not suggesting that we emulate Mexico's policy. Just pointing out the sheer double-standard.

On the Fact that the Vile,Vulgar, Brain-Diseased, and Moronic Group, Black Lives Matter (Who if They Actually Did Care About Black Lives Would Be Protesting the Gang-Bangers in Places Like Chicago, Baltimore, Cleveland, Charlotte, etc. but I Digress) Is Apparently Protesting a Mom and Pop Bakery in Oberlin, Ohio Simply Because the Owners of this Establishment Had the Unmitigated Audacity to Detain a Black Shoplifter

   Total insanity and if that isn't Kafkaesque for you, get this. By the time that the cops arrived, this same black shoplifter was beating the daylights out of the male proprietor. Icing on the damned cake.

On the Fact that One of the Golden Rules of Politics Is that While it's Generally OK to Denigrate Your Opponent, it Is NEVER OK to Denigrate Their Supporters (the Fact that They're Potential Votes, the Fact that You May Have to Represent Them at Some Point, etc.)

Yeah, it seems that Hillary may have been absent for that tutorial (deplorably and irredeemably, perhaps).

On the Fact that at Various Junctures of His Career, Van Jones Has Been a Marxist, a Crony Capitalist, a 9/11 Truther, a 24/7 Race-Baiter, a Mindless Bureaucrat, and a Vacuous TV Talking-Head

Let's just put it this way. It's not a resume that I'd be chiseling in stone any time soon.

On the Fact that (per the Association of Ex-Cuban Political Prisoners) Not a Single One of the Nearly 500 People Who Were Murdered by Castro's Firing Squads During August of 1964 Had Ever Been Affiliated with the Batista Regime and Most in Fact Had Actually Opposed Batista

What, you think that George Bush invented, "You're either with us or against us"?......Open a book, people!!!

Tuesday, November 15, 2016

On President Obama's Foreign Policy

Not predator drone oriented/expansive enough (art courtesy of the amazing Anthony Freda).

On the Fact that the Poverty Rate for Single White Mothers Is Three Times Higher than that of Two Parent Intact Black Families - http://www.familyfacts.org/charts/329/poverty-rates-are-higher-among-single-mother-families-regardless-of-race

Yeah, I'm calling this one, "Not Having Children Out of Wedlock......Privilege", and strongly suggest that we foster it. ASAP.

On the Fact that Even Though They're Amongst the Most Privileged Individuals in All of Human History, the American College Student Continues to See Himself (Gender Triggered?) as Some Sort of Oppressed Weakling Who Needs to Revolt and Tear Down the Whole System

The bulk of the blame of course goes to all of those lunatic baby-boomer Marxist professors (many of whom have never held a private-sector job) who've been indoctrinating these youngsters and who are all but destroying this country's competitive-edge.......and who we cannot fire!!! Let us NOT forget about that.

On the Fact that the Dodd-Frank Financial Regulatory Act Is Approximately 14,000 Pages - http://ethics.harvard.edu/blog/obstructive-criticism

Yeah, that would make it longer than "War and Peace", "Crime and Punishment", "Moby Dick", "Of Human Bondage", "Great Expectations", Don Quixote", "Atlas Shrugged", "Les Miserables", "Gone with the Wind", "The Castle", "The Age of Innocence", "The Grapes of Wrath", and Machiavelli's "Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livy" COMBINED......TIMES 2!!!!!......And add to that the fact that you aren't reading the likes of Tolstoy, Melville, Dickens, Wharton, or Steinbeck but rather the idiocy of a cadre of intellectual midgets (politicians and bureaucrats, namely) whose arrogance, lack of self-awareness, surface thinking, and pretense apparently knows no bounds. Talk about insanity, huh?

Monday, November 14, 2016

Note to Van Jones (a Man Who Sees Racists in His Cheerios, I Suspect)

Hey, idiot, Donald Trump actually got a LOWER percentage of the white vote than Romney did (http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/09/behind-trumps-victory-divisions-by-race-gender-education/) and so ixnay on the racism charge. The real reason why Hillary lost is because a lot of the blacks, Hispanics, and Democrats who came out to vote for Obama in 2008 and 2012 STAYED HOME. You want to blame someone, blame them.

On the New York Times's Claim that Trump's Foreign Policy Departs from a "Decades-Old Consensus"

And how in the hell is this a bad thing, for Christ (the fact that we've essentially had non-stop interventionism for nearly a century and the world is just as dangerous as ever)? I mean, my God (the fact it's actually one of his better points and with so many other legitimate things to criticize him for......).

Care to "Converse" About this Fact, Mr.s Obama and Holder......or Are You Just too "Cowardly"?

The latter, huh?

On Jose Ramon Cruz, Carlos Machado, Felicio Acosta, Lorenzo Espino, Justo Garcia Jr., Efrain Brizuelas, Jesus Carrillo, Lorentino Pelaez Jr., Tito Sardinas, Juan Blanco, Emeterio Rodriguez, Ruben Acosta, Antonio Ruiz Acosta, Luis Gonzalez, and the Rest of the Teenagers Who Were Executed by the Castro Brothers and Che

So much for Castro's takeover of Cuba being a "revolution of youth" (an assertion that was repeatedly made by the New York Times writer and erstwhile Castro butt-sniffer, Herbert Matthews).      

On What Can Happen When a Cop DOESN'T Shoot

  This shit. Happy?

On Trump's Alleged Coziness with Putin

The fact that the guy isn't hell-bent on another cold-war with Russia probably isn't the best place for the left to be planting yet another flag. I certainly wouldn't recommend it.

On Hillary Clinton's Contention that Mr. Trump's Verbiage Is Being Used as a "Recruiting Tool" by Terrorists

   That may indeed be true, but the fact that Mrs. Clinton's State Department approved the sale of tens of billions of dollars in advanced fighter aircraft to Saudi Arabia (weapons that they're using to destroy Yemen and murder civilians en masse) may be an even bigger one. I'm just sayin'.

On Men Who Can't Afford to Purchase Insurance for Their Ten Year-Old Nissan Pickup Trucks Continuing to Pump Out Children Nonetheless

It takes a village idiot, I guess.

On Those Celebrities Who Threatened to Move to Canada if Trump Won

Have you noticed that they never threaten to move to Mexico or Guatemala or the Dominican Republic or Jamaica? It's always Canada. Why is that, folks? I mean, are they afraid of dark-skinned people or something (to the point that they'd rather move to one the coldest places on the planet simply to avoid them)? Please, help me deconstruct this one.

On the Fact that the Clintons Seemingly Once Donated Used Underwear to Charity and Actually Wrote it Off On Their Taxes (Two Bucks a Pair) - https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1993/12/28/bill-clintons-great-skivvies-give-away/0dac853d-cf3d-4faf-8104-bcf124bd93b4/

And these are the folks who Chelsea Handler and Miley Cyrus are balling over? Seriously, we've descended this far?

The Difference Between Trump and Clinton?

She was going to drive us off the cliff at 100 miles per hour while he's probably only going to do it at 80 or 90.......In a nutshell. 

On the Fact that Trump Seemingly Doesn't Want to Take On Entitlement Reform

So we have approximately $200,000,000,000,000 in unfunded liabilities (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Veteran's Benefits, etc.) and all that this fellow wants to do is ape Bush and Obama (do zilch, in other words).......Yeah, I'm gonna buy more silver.

On Why I Didn't Vote for Trump OR Hillary

Because horrible human beings don't suddenly become virtuous when you afford them more power and in fact they often get worse.............So essentially what Lord Acton said, in other words.

Saturday, November 12, 2016

On the Fact that the Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young 2006 "Freedom of Speech Tour" Included a Concert in Havana (the Karl Marx Theater - I Shit You Not)

The irony (the fact that while they were performing their numbers, scores and scores of young Cubans were rotting in dungeons for the crime of, yeah, you guessed it, free speech!) was undoubtedly lost on these burn-outs, I'm sure. Free speech in Havana - LOL!!!!!!

On the Fact that Trump Is Apparently Considering John Bolton as Secretary of State

One of the more enticing aspects of Trump was the fact that he didn't appear to be neocon.......Now this. Very disappointing.

Friday, November 11, 2016

On the Fact that Thuggish Anti-Trump Protesters Are Turning to Violence Throughout the Country - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3922098/The-backlash-begins-Disgruntled-anti-Trump-protesters-refuse-accept-election-result-gather-New-York-cities-country.html

And Clinton and Obama will be asked to "repudiate" this............when exactly ('cause you know that if Trump supporters were doing this crap, the media would be all over the fellow)?

On Why the Neocons Truly Don't Like Obama's Iran Nuclear Deal

I think that Daniel Larison of "The American Conservative" (http://www.theamericanconservative.com/larison/trump-and-the-nuclear-deal/), Scott Horton of "Anti-War Radio", and Investigative Journalist, Gareth Porter have all nailed it perfectly. The real reason why the neocons don't like this agreement ISN'T because it isn't punitive enough or even that it places the Middle-East in imminent danger (there actually isn't any compelling evidence that Iran was ever even constructing a bomb in the first place) but rather because it takes the option of war off the table and we simply can't have that, now can we?

On the Fact that Che Guevara (from His Own "Man and Socialism in Cuba") Once Stated that, "There Is No Life Outside the Revolution"

Yeah, I strongly doubt that the Occupy bed-wetters would be down with that (the fact that after brutal day of nonstop rabble-rousing; shitting and pissing in the park, blocking traffic, throwing debris at cops, echoing platitudes, etc., they'd probably want to unwind with some heavy metal, mindless texting to like-minded morons, a few doobies, and 8-10 Bud Lights).

On the Bonnie Raitt, Norah Jones Version of "The Tennessee Waltz"

  Well, it's nice to know that there are least two people who can sing effectively without having a heart attack (a la, Michael Bolton, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, etc.).

On the Fact that the Only Government in Modern History (Cuba) to Outlaw Rock and Roll Music Has Literally Had Those Very Same Rock Stars (Stephen Stills, Carlos Santana, Bonnie Raitt, Chrissie Hynde, etc.) Write and Perform Songs that Glorify it

You want an effective anti-drug commercial? Start here.

On the Fact that While I've Never Been a Big Fan of Trump and Freely Admit that He'll Probably Be a Meh President at Best, it All Seems Worth it Just for the Sheer Spectacle of One Buffoonish, Elitist, Pseudo-Intellectual, Leftist Media Fuckfaced Schmuck After Another Crapping Themselves for All the World to See

And how.

On the Fact that (in the Wake of Trump's Victory) There Are Apparently College Students Out There Who Are Just too Distraught to Attend Class

Try that in the private sector, snowflakes. I double-dog dare ya'.

On the Fact that Dinesh D'Souza Spent Months in Prison for a Minor Campaign Violation While Hillary Clinton, Who Violated Multiple Laws Pertaining to National Security and Who Lied to the F.B.I., Congress, etc., Was Never Held Accountable for Anything (the Election, Aside)

One of them made a documentary that was exceedingly critical of President Obama. Guess which.

On the Fact that Hillary Only Got 22% of the Vote in Wyoming

Which would make Wyoming command central for the "deplorable and irredeemable", I guess.......You go, cowboys!

On the Fact that Even Though Mandela Was a Communist Who Quoted Karl Marx and Buthelezi a Libertarian Who Quoted James Madison and Adam Smith, the West Not Only Got Behind the Former but Actually Tried to Deify Him

And even after the Berlin Wall was destroyed, it continued. So inexplicable.

On When Somebody Calls You a Racist

I think that the journalist, provocateur, and iconoclast, Jim Goad, probably has the best advice in that he tells the object of the slur to ask the perpetrator of it to define exactly what he or she means and when they do, you can either say that you are or you aren't. He claims that it's a strategy which typically ends the conversation and I strongly suspect that he's correct.     

On Joy Behar's Suicide Watch

q 15 minutes, folks (ditto, Krugman, Goldberg, Maddow, etc.).

On Van Jones's Claim that Trump's Victory Represents a Racist White Backlash Against Obama

Alright, let's see if I've gotten this straight; Jones is saying that all of those white people in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Carolina, and Florida who voted for Obama in 2008 AND 2012, they're suddenly racist now simply because they didn't vote for the corrupt, demagogic, and war-mongering Mrs. Clinton? Seriously, that's what CNN is paying him for?......And they wonder why their brand is on life-support. 

On Polk, Lincoln, McKinley, TR, Wilson, FDR, LBJ, Bush 1, and Bush 2

I'll take, "Presidents Who Shamelessly, Mindlessly, and Deviously Plunged the Country Into Stupid and Unnecessary Wars that Could Have Easily Been Averted", for a thousand, Alex.......................................................................................................P.S. And, yes, hopefully I won't have to add Trump to the list.

On the Fact that Even Though it's Been Discredited Every Which Way Conceivable, the New York Times and Leftist Dolts Like Bob Beckel Continue to Parrot the Bald-Faced Lie that the Batista Government Slaughtered 20,000 Cubans

Yeah, this one's a massive whopper. a) The Magazine that had published the original story ("Bohemia") just several months later had to admit that the total deaths ON BOTH SIDES of the war was less than 900 and b) the guy who had originally reported on the 20,000 figure ultimately confessed that he had simply made the number up. I mean, I understand that the leftist media loves to beat up on people who they consider to be "right-wing" dictators (and Batista wasn't even a right-winger) and all but this particular claim is is so ludicrous that we really need to put an end to it immediately. 20,000 murders, my ass.........................................................................................................P.S. My source for this is Venezuelan journalist, Oscar Yanes, who, after Mr. Quevedo (who ultimately blew his brains out in a fit of guilt) had to flee from Cuba, stated taking an interest in his saga.      

On the Fact that Slade Leeds Has Never Once Even Pondered that He Himself Could Leave the Fray

Yeah, he is just way too dumb, entitled, and busy trying to strike pay-dirt over a word here and there (a strategy in which he always misses the more significant points) to even contemplate an alternative possibility, and so why do we even try? I certainly know that I'm done.

On the Fact that Whenever White Liberals Say, "Jump", Black Liberals Generally Ask, "How High?"

Hopefully the spell will eventually be broken but after 50 years (LBJ's goal was 200), no, I'm not exactly holding my breath.

Tuesday, November 8, 2016

On the Fact that the Left Has Deftly and Consistently Been Able to Bury IT'S Racism (the Notion that Black Folks Can't Succeed Without Preferential Policies, that They're Just too Feeble-Minded to Secure a Photo-ID, etc.) Beneath a Flimsy Veneer of Altruism and a Thicker One of Condescension

I think that it's time for black folks to rediscover Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, and John F. Kennedy (people who emphasized self-help and who weren't patronizing) and to reject the Marc LaMont Hills, Al Sharptons, Jamal Bryants, and Jesse Jacksons of the world.......or to at least give it a try. To steal a phrase from Trump, what have they got to lose?

On the Fact that I Finally Figured Out My Gender; "Addicted to Lipstick Lesbian Casually-Attired Straight Fella' Who Doesn't Despise Guys"

Are you listening, Facebook peeps, New York City, Etc?......You had better......

On the Fact that the Mediocre and Grating Leftist Journalist/Pundit, Ana Marie Cox, Recently Claimed that Women and Minorities Were Saving the Country (by Not Voting for Trump, I Guess)

So putting in a chick who's repeatedly threatened the Syrians and the Russians with a no-fly zone (an act that could quite literally precipitate WW3), who apparently had no qualms about emailing sensitive State Department information on a private server, and who's taken part in the destruction and/or destabilization of numerous nations (Libya, Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, Yemen) is considered saving the country now. Wow, huh?

On the Fact that (According to the Washington Post's Database) of the 772 People Shot by Cops so Far this Year (as of Mid-October), Only 188 Have Been Black and of this Group Only 16 Have Been Unarmed (and Most of Them Were Either Attacking the Cop, Resisting Arrest, or Going for the Weapon)

  Great speech; a young Thomas Sowell/Walter Williams.

On Alex Jones's Claim that as a Teenage Boy Beautiful Older Women Were Constantly Trying to Lure Him Into Satanism

I'm sure that in his mind......it DID happen.

On the Fact that While I Don't Like Trump and Think that He'd Make a Lousy President (Though Maybe Not Quite as Bad as Clinton), the Likelihood that Him Winning Tomorrow Will Probably Cause the Heads of Rachel Maddow, Whoopi Goldberg, Chris Hayes, Charles Blow, Joy Behar, Carl Bernstein, etc. to Explode Is Kinda Making Me Root for the Guy

Plus he's far more entertaining. That should count for something.

On the Fact that (According to Acclaimed Journalist, Conchita Sarnoff) Any Other Person Who Had Done What the Vile Jeffrey Epstein Is Alleged to Have Done (Countless Illegal Acts with Underage Children) Would Have Been Tried (and Likely Convicted) Under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act but Because Mr. Epstein Is Filthy (Pun Intended) Rich and Has Numerous Connections Ranging from (I Shit You Not) Bill Clinton to Ken Starr to Alan Dershowitz, the Dude Essentially Got a Slap on the Wrist (a 13 Month Sentence in Which He Was Allowed to Leave During the Day)

Now THAT......WAS "rigged".

On Trump, Clinton, and Prevaricating

He tells more lies (the fact that the dude is always bullshitting, fibbing, exaggerating, etc.). She tells worse ones (claiming that she never sent or received classified information on her private server and that she had only used one device, telling the families of the Benghazi victims one thing while telling her own family the actual truth, claiming that she and Chelsea had dodged sniper-fire in Bosnia, etc.). The bottom-line.  

On the Claim by Journalist, Bob Woodward, that Hillary Clinton Is Said to Have Had Seance Conversations with Eleanor Roosevelt and Mahatma Gandhi

And they call Trump the lunatic.

Sunday, November 6, 2016

On the Fact that the Vulgar, Disturbed, and Palpably Low IQ Actress, Lena Dunham, Recently Stated that it Would Be a Good Thing if Straight White Males (You Know, Those Horrible Entities Who Gave the World Liberal Democracy, Constitutional Government, Economic Liberalization, the Rule of Law, Private Property Rights, too Many Inventions to Count, and Who, While They Certainly Participated in Slavery, Were the First Folks to Eliminate it) Became Extinct

Fine, but can SJWs be next?............................................................................................................P.S. And, yes, of course white males have done some awful things. But, so, too, have black males (Shaka Zulu and his brother, Dingane, having slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Africans), Asian males (from Genghis Khan to Mao), Arab males (from the Moors to the Turks to al Qaeda), etc., and if you're gonna try and tell me that Hillary will be different do I need to remind you that this slant supported the bombing of Serbia to rubble and the Iraq War, and that it was her who destroyed and destabilized Libya, sent weapons to Syria that ultimately ended up in the hands of terrorists, helped to overthrow the legitimate government in Ukraine, and who's now threatening Syria and Russia with a no-fly zone that could quite conceivable turn into WW3, think again, folks,.

On the Fact that the Federal Government Alone Spent Approximately $3.85 Trillion in 2015

That is a figure that is more massive than the entire Russian economy and if Trump or Clinton have their way it will enlarge even more. Heaven help us.......................................................................................................P.S. And, yes, that number mushrooms to $6.55 trillion when you also include state and local spending. So more than the economies of Russia and England combined, in other words.

On the Claim by Writer, Roger Morris, that There Exists a Tape in Which Roger Clinton Asserts that His Brother, Bill, "Has a Nose Like a Vacuum Cleaner" - https://www.amazon.com/Partners-Power-Clintons-Their-America/dp/0805028048/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8 - Page 325 of this Book

Well, Bubba claims that he didn't inhale.............MARIJUANA


On Donald Trump and Joe Biden Threatening Each Other with Fisticuffs

I've known down syndrome kindergarten girls who could face-plant both of these schmucks and so the only purpose of this idiocy would be for our foul amusement I suspect.......Again, wake me when it's over.

Friday, November 4, 2016

On the Fact that (per the Bureau of Labor Statistics) the Employment Rate for Trained Opticians Is Expected to Grow by Over 20% in the Next Ten Years

And it's a good job that a) pays decent (an average of $17 an hour in the U.S.) and b) doesn't require a lot of time and money to qualify for (generally an associate's degree and an internship). If I was counseling some youngsters who wanted a career in healthcare and who didn't want to bankrupt themselves, this would clearly be an option.

On the Fact that the Journal of Economics and Statistics Did an Analysis and Ultimately Concluded that the Odds of Hillary Clinton Making $100,000 on Her First Commodity Trade Without Any Sort of Insider Information Was 250,000,000 to 1 - http://corporatefraud.tripod.com/democrookery/id4.html

So the woman is either lucky, a financial genius, or corrupt? Gee, I wonder which.

On the Odds of Donna Brazile Getting a Job (in Politics, the Media, or Whatever) Any Time Soon

Yeah, I strongly suspect that the "persecution" will continue.

On the Ragin' Cajun, James Carville, Going on MSNBCPMSLSDLGBT the Other Day and Claiming that the F.B.I. Is Working in Alliance with the K.G.B. (an Entity that No Longer Exists) to Elect Donald Trump

Well, if anybody ever needs a leftist version of Alex Jones (i.e., a conspiracy jock), you could do worse.

Hillary Clinton, a Champion of Children? - Quick Addendum

And Mrs. Clinton also referred to Kathy Shelton's home situation as a "disorganized family". Translated, the girl had a single mom.......Nah, no elitism or condescension there.

On the Fact that John Kasich Reportedly Penciled in John McCain's Name on His Presidential Ballot

So he eschewed one lunatic Republican (a nativist protectionist) for another (a neocon), in other words.......I guess.

On My Old Guitar and Drum Set

I sold them to the girl next door......a long, LONG time ago.

On the U.S. Department of Justice

Or as I prefer to call it,  the U.S. Department of the Politically Well Connected  and Selective Policing,"

On Visiting Cuba

It's a gorgeous island and as a libertarian I certainly wouldn't prohibit folks from going there. But it's also important to point out that nearly every penny that Europeans and Americans (now that we can go there with U.S. imposed restrictions) spend there goes straight into the coffers of the bureaucrats and the military and that maybe, just maybe, you could accrue the same benefits from going to the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, or the Bahamas instead. I'm just sayin'.

Hillary Clinton, a Champion of Children?


Well, there's at least one dissenter; Kathy Shelton, who at age 12 was brutally raped by not just any filthy  degenerate but by one who was represented by an ambitious young lawyer named Hillary Clinton (she initially claimed that it was a favor to some liberal judge) who proceeded to put the youngster on trial and in a manner that would been illegal with today's rape-shield laws?.............So, how do you like the bitch now?.....................................................................................................P.S. And, yes, please, blow up that affidavit and read it....Just try not to throw up, that's all.  

And the Republicans Rejected this Sane Man

  ......Why exactly (ditto the Democrats and Webb)?

On the Odds that Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch Only Talked About Grandchildren and Other Benign Things During Their Private Tarmac Meeting in Phoenix

0.1%, possibly less. I mean, come on!

On the Fact that Donald Trump Is Seemingly Unaware that this Country Almost Fought the Civil War 30 Years Earlier than We Did and that it Was About Tariffs (Henry Clay and Others Bringing Us Back from the Abyss)

An almost unprecedented level of ignorance coming from a main party Presidential candidate......and did you see how the asshole was threatening General Motors with a 30% tariff on cars made in Mexico (he apparently doesn't have a problem with Japanese cars being made over here)? Nah, that's not fascistic or anything. 

On Mrs. Clinton's "We Are Stronger Together" Campaign Slogan

Yeah, if she or somebody in her campaign had done a quick Google-search they would have discovered that Benito Mussolini had uttered the exact same thing when it came to his form of collectivism. Oops. OOPS.  

On the Fact that New York City Has 31 Distinct Gender Identities that a Person (Gender-Neutral Enough?) Can Select from, None of Which You Have to Substantiate - http://heatst.com/culture-wars/here-are-the-31-gender-identities-new-york-city-recognizes/

Oh, that's nothing in that Facebook now has 71 (up from 58 Just Two Years Ago - https://ageofshitlords.com/facebook-now-has-71-gender-options/). I guess that New York and de Blasio just aren't progressive enough.

On that Poor F.B.I. Agent Who's Been Tasked with the Job of Going Through All of Those Anthony Weiner Penis-Ladened Emails

I'm normally not a big fan of giving government workers taxpayer-funded bonuses but, yeah, for this poor bastard I will make an exception (that and all the free showers that he or she needs). Absofrigginglutely.

Tuesday, November 1, 2016

On the Claim Made by Documentarian and Conspiracy Ramrod, Joel Gilbert, that President Obama's Real Father ISN'T the Kenyan Chap but Rather the Despicable Communist, Frank Marshall Davis

So, they're (the loonies on the right) trading in one off-the-rails and bonkers conspiracy theory for another one essentially.......Way to go, guys.

On the Fact that East-Asians Score Three Full Standard Deviations Higher on Standardized IQ Tests than Australian Aborigines (106 Versus 62)

There are of course a myriad of possible explanations for this; nutritional differences, educational differences, familial differences, discriminatory factors, etc.. But for folks to try and say that biology doesn't play ANY role at all is a bit of a stretch, I think. The fact of the matter is that China, Korea, and Japan were far more difficult areas for our ancestors to survive in (the fact that they were a lot colder and harder to acquire food) and, so, yeah, natural selection worked much more in the direction of intelligence than height and other attributes (the same with Ashkenazi Jews who also score extremely high). I mean, I understand that this is a delicate topic for many people to breech but it's also a) an open field of study and b) far more scientific than saying that evolution came to grinding halt 100,000 years ago and that human biodiversity doesn't exist.
