“Opening minds and angravating liberals since 2001”

“I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.”

Genesis 3:19 / John 3:16

My Friends & Fellow Math Scholars:

The other day, one of youse posted something on my personal Facebook page.   I was really touched by the post.  The fellow who posted it, a fellow vet, has been a long time reader and we have communicated a number of times over the years.

The post simply read: “Hang out with me for too long and I’ll brainwash you into thinking for yourself.”

I was touched, as I said, and I commented “You know me so well.”

That, my friends, is the mission statement of The Daily Fish.

I have said all along, I try to remain as impartial as I can be, difficult given the last decade.  But I never pontificate that only I have the right answer.  Oftimes, I will suggest a number of possibilities and wax rhapsodic on each.  But the bottom line is that I present either an argument or a soliloquy and the end you draw your own conclusions. Don’t go by me alone.  After all, you pay nothing for this piece of my time every so often and I try to give you your money’s worth!

One of the things I have stated over the years is to “read between the lines”, that is, what is NOT being stated.  How do you know what is not there? Well, if you read enough articles on the same topic eventually there will be any number of things which are different from each one. Some will cancel others out, some are mere repetitions of something else but there will be a few nuggets that will cause you to re-read a sentence or a paragraph as it contains something new.

Recall when I mentioned the brilliant job our brains do 24/7/365 filtering all sorts of things.  Some are important (alerting us to alarms, gun shots, Hilderbeast’s lying) and alerting us to be on guard.  As well as things mundane, such as background noise, a gentle wind, normal traffic and the like.

And that there was a third possibility; the unsure.

I gave the example of you are sitting in a crowded restaurant with a friend or loved one and there are a hundred people having fifty conversations.  You are oblivious to the other forty-nine conversations until you hear your name across the room.  You immediately stop and look around to see who spoke of you.

You were consciously listening to your diner mate but your brain was monitoring all the other conversations seeking clues, signs of danger or anything out of the ordinary.

Same thing when you read an article.  You have already read a dozen or so articles on the same topic and out of the blue, BAM, there is something new.

THAT is reading between the lines.

Now as we are in the middle of the insane pageant of political chicanery and, as the stakes have never been higher, we have to ramp up our prognostication skills a few notches.

We canNOT possibly believe everything that every candidate says, or 99% of what any Democrat opines.  We canNOT afford to be like the Dems where their candidates are equally lethal for our Country. Only the methods of our demise are differing.

George Friedman came up with something called “constraint theory.” It is a nonquantitative piece of multidimensional mathematics.  The book he wrote on this topic has more to do with business rubrics but can easily be massaged for most any other situation.

(For instance: Biffistan declares war on Romneyville.  We are unsure for whom to back, all other things being equal. It then boils down to an economic exercise in that who much would it cost to do this or that.  What will it cost is if we don’t.  It is not all fun with numbers as one of the variables can be the number of casualties.)

On the other hand there are the theories of probability and predictable outcome theories.

Do note, the word “theory” is used in all of these as there is no certainty at hand until after the fact.  A little hard to “check your work” before handing it in!

Add to all this, the thoughts of one of my favorite SecDefs, Don Rumsfeld.

He mused on one occasion: “Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tend to be the difficult ones.”

I posit that the good secretary had employed any number and permutations of the previous mentioned “theories” to in an attempt to divine the “unknown unknowns.”

We will get to the politics of the day in a moment, this is all needed for background and, with hope, allow you to draw your own conclusions and candidates.

I have been using a mélange of those theories, unbeknownst to me.  In fact I did not even know there were names for them until I “started to do the math.”

Basically take any set of variables. Key to any likelihood of success is not to have any preconceived idea as to any kind of desired or undesired outcome.  Think off all possibilities as your children: you do not love one more or less than the others. (Though, my mother favored me.  Can’t blame her.)

Like the “constraint theory”, you eliminate all results that would be impossible.  (The Hilderbeast becoming a nun and turning herself into the FBI for her crimes, for instance.)

In the process of assigning valuation to the rest of the possibilities a pattern will generally emerge as to the trend as to where the logical result might be.

However, if things are not going according to Hoyle and a representative chart of probability is not providing any kind of rational solution, you may have uncovered one of Rummy’s “unkown unknowns.”

(As I have expressed before, my thought processes are not the type in common with most folks. So nontraditional or nonquantitative thought processes are more the norm for me and I was heartened to see that there was actually math that buttressed my ideas.)

In the next issue we will start to deconstruct the various candidates, their initiatives and platforms, how that plays to the various factions of the electorate and other variables.

My methodology will entail listing the impossible and then coming up with a list of probabilities, possibilities, likelys, and the unlikelys and improbables to go with the impossibilities.

You can all play.  Feel free to send me your thoughts on any candidate and any level of thought from impossible to likely.  If I get enough of a sampling we can use that as a baseline and see how well your powers of divination are.

In issues prior I have cited the name of the old “Firesign Theater” album: “Everything You Know Is Wrong.”  In this election, that just might be true.

Last election, I do not recall many of us excited by the now-called “Judas Mittcariot.” But back then we all detested Biff and wanted him gone.  Alas, that was not to be as apparently Judas Mittcariot liked him just fine.  Or at least enough to throw the election. IMHBAO.

Time before, even fewer of us backed the RINO McLame.  We were temporarily fixated on Sarah Palin who, by comparison, seemed like the real deal.  But even Klondike Barbie turned out to be a disappointment on a number of levels.  (That is a clue.)

This time we do not have the benefit of hindsight to help us out.  Other than the Hilderbeast none of these clowns have been trying for the big dance before.

Most of us are painfully unaware of even a fair amount of what “our guy” REALLY stands for or stood for previously.  Some look like one thing and are really another, some seem to stick to their guns while others treat points and positions like moving targets.

And those are the peeps we LIKE!  The one “known known” is that none of us (correct me if I am wrong) want any “D” to win ANY seat, especially the big one.

Or, might there be the odd exception?  (Recall how I suggested that I would be fine if Earl McCornbread and Smoking Johnny lost their seats?  They did not and we are the worse for it.)

So, hang on, it is going to get rough as we dive into the murky waters of uncertainty.  We will try to makes sense of these characters, or, at least enough for you to make an educated decision on “our” guy.  And I guarantee you that exposed to the same set of “facts” and “deconstruction”, we will not all agree as to the “best” candidate.

Think about all the above and please, PLEASE, take a few minutes to do your homework and send me your thoughts and ideas.

“I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.”

Genesis 3:19 / John 3:16

My Friends & Fellow Sheeples:

Just in case you thought things were strange last issue then “you ain’t seen nothing yet.”

(Again, clear disclosure.  I am NOT a Trump supporter. I am a supporter of America.  I prefer any “Republican” to either of the Socialists and, after voting for McLame and Judas Mittcariot, I could vote for any of these current idiots.)

I start this issue Thursday afternoon, after Judas Mittcariot made an utter ass of himself and exposed the soft-white underbelly of the despicable Republican National Committee and Trump, being Trump, gave a soft rebuttal to Judas.

A few points.

Do not miss the true big picture because of the “big picture” the RINOS want you to see.

Judas Mittcariot made a series of damning statements about Trump.  Candidly it makes little difference if they were true or not.  There was prolly some truth and some fiction and after Trump’s speech, he did a fair job of acquitting himself.  The fact was he went up there and tried to destroy Trump and even more perplexing (though I am sure it will be explained away) he did not suggest one of the other candidates (or, himself) would be a better alternative.

The fact that Judas made that speech is critical.  What is more critical is what is not being said.  (Remember I told you, read between the lines, what is NOT being said.)

Do you think that Judas woke up and said “Gee, what a nice day, let me get some air time and vent a tad.”

Of course not.

Either on his own or by selection by the powers that be, there was some discussion with the RNC.  By that I mean Public Enemy #2, the Master Cylinder Karl Rove and RNC Chair Rancid Prius. Their blessing was given and off went the Mittless Wonder.

There were threats veiled and innuendo proffered.  There was talk that the RNC might withhold support for Trump.

Might?

After that loser’s hissy-fit, I posted the following on the RNC pages, my page, a number of other groups and in tweets the following: I hope

DEAR RNC: I AM NOT A TRUMP GUY, I AM A FAIRNESS GUY. YOU MADE TRUMP SIGN A LOYALTY OATH TO THE PARTY NOT TO RUN AS A 3RD PARTY CANDIDATE. TODAY, YOU TROT OUT MITT ROMNEY (THE ONE THAT LOST TO THE WORST POSSIBLE CANDIDATE EVER) TO TEAR TRUMP APART. AS A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN I CALL ON ALL OTHER FELLOW REPUBLICANS TO DEMAND THAT THE RNC BACK 100% THE CANDIDATE THAT WE THE PEOPLE CHOSE TO RUN AS A REPUBLICAN. IF YOU DO NOT DO THAT, YOU DO NOT REPRESENT THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE AND WE WILL DECIDE ON OUR OWN. YOU NEED TO DISAVOW ROMNEY’S WORDS AND SWEAR TO SUPPORT THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE, WHOEVER THAT MAY BE. THIS IS NOW GOING VIRAL.
I hope that you agree and will post and share that as well.

(SOAPBAR: Mitt presented himself as a choir boy when he was running.  Yet he went on this insulting tirade at the Hinkley Institute at the University of Utah.  Among other things they “support” are minority rights and Planned Parenthood, hardly “conservative” issues.  On a related note, his accusatory tone of Trump vacillating on his opinions was second only to his own.  After all, Judas Mittcariot’s health care plan in Massachusetts was the template for the illegal OBAMA’S OBAMACARE. Just sayin’.)

The RNC demanded a loyalty oath from Trump then they try to railroad him.  And again no one is talking about that.

Speaking of support, something else off the radar are the musings of some mush-heads and haters of the party.  More than one (Ex-Rino Gov. Christie Todd Whitman, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, et alia) have said that they would vote for the Hilderbeast before Trump.

I do not care if you are a 100% Conservative or have the highest ACU rating in your state (which neither of them are or have) you should be drummed out of the party.

Well, you would be, except that you are saying EXACTLY what the Party Line now is.

(Think about it, Whitless is as relevant as Ellen Degenerate’s last girlfriend and, Adam Who?)

That is two things under the radar.

The last, for now, is the most disturbing.  Rather than rehashing my previous thoughts, here is what I posted Thursday afternoon.

If Judas Mittcariot was as brutal on Biff four years ago as he was on the Trumpster today, Biff would be a towel boy in a bath house, the Hilderbeast would be in stir, we never would have had Obama Care we never would have heard of Eric Holder, Butch Kagan, Sonny Sotomayor, “Beer Summits”, BLM, apologies to Haji, we would not have a criminal cartel running the banking system (well, maybe we would have) and a litany of other ills and the Mittster would be cruising to re-election.

But he was a feckless coward then and is a cheap-shot artist feckless coward now.

So, and please excuse me for this, but I think we owe Biff an apology. He was going to do what he did, a creatchure canNOT change it spots. He was going to screw the pooch one way or the other, it is in his questionable DNA. Judas Mittcariot backed down from this little girl in a debate and let him win.

So, all the troubles in my Country right now I lay at the feet of Judas Mittcariot.
(And again, I am not a Trump guy. I just have some sick in my mouth from when that quisling lied earlier today.)

Disagree? By all means, but please bring your facts.

Meanwhile, and thusfar, Ted Cruz and Dorko Rubio have kept their silence, as has the other guy, good old whatshisname.  Of course it is in their benefit for the RNC to excoriate Trump. Only they can benefit by their treachery.

OPENBAR –  Since we are talking about things that are important but no one else is, there is one, glaring, important statistic that is not getting much traction: Voter turnout.  The Republicans are up from 10-50% in voter turnout so far while the Socialists are off 10-30+%.

Why?

In a word: Trump.

His supporters are showing up in great numbers and the supporters of the others are showing up in great numbers to counter them.  This is one of those rising tides that raise all ships.

The RNC is pathologically neglectful in this statistic.  They ignore that Trump is mobilizing the folks, his fans and detractors.  And if you let nature take its course, the discussions of all the candidates will be fleshed out and the last man standing’s vitriol will be focused on the Socialist and the lemming like attention of the average vote will follow that focus.

That is enough for now.

The next in this series will start to focus on why the RNC is doing this and what the true stories may be.

Spoiler alert: We are screwed (and I am being optimistic.)

Genesis 3:19 / John 3:16

My Friends & Fellow Side Show Fans:

The freak show of a circus continues…

Yes, according to what I have heard and read of late, we are all stupid.  We are all too dim-witted to see the elegance of the actions of Biff.  Yes, he is the smartest biped ever to roam the Earth!

Recall early on, we saw one of the first signs that the fix was in.  Some spokesperson or another said that Biff was the “smartest man ever to be president.” When asked what was his IQ, the answer was: “way high, off the charts.”  Asked again and a similarly vague answer was offered.

I am not saying he is not smart, I am sure he has some smarts.  Then again so does a circus clown and that is where we are; in a circus, in a freak show.

(JFK once said at a dinner honoring Nobel Prize winners, back in the day when it meant something [and presidents were not out to destroy us]: “I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together in the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.”  Yeah, like Biff is smarter than that.  Hear that whirring sound…?)

On the one hand, the same Geek Chorus who said back in 2006 and 2007 that if, IF there was a vacancy on SCOTUS Bush should not be allowed to nominate are the same ones demanding that Biff not only nominate someone to fill Scalia’s chair (certainly not his intellect) but the Republicans should be honored to confirm him/her/gender fluid to the bench.

Needless to say the useful tools on social media are making the same noise. At least here I have fun.  I tell them what Schemer said and of course they deny it.  Give them a bunch of citations and they still won’t believe.

Add the clips of Joey McMensa saying the same thing and they still can’t wrap their scrawny arms around that.  So the camps are divided in half: some say it is all made up (denial, so sad) and the rest say that “things are different now.”

When I ask how so and when was Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 changed and then their heads explode.  I thank them for their ignorance and hypocrisy and I move along.

You see, if Biff was a good person, a trusted person, a good and fair leader, a jealous protector of the Constitution, I assure you, the Senate would be eager to entertain a replacement.

But, sad for us, he is none of those things.  He is a liar, a cheat, a fraud, a conman, a grifter, a racist and a hater of America.  Can you blame the Senate (and most of them are not that much better than Biff) for not doing what he asks?

Meanwhile, the thusfar still on the street, Hilderbeast boasted that she would appoint a “progressive” to the Supremes.

That line alone should send shivers down your spine and disqualify her from high office.

The Justices of the SCOTUS should be non-partisan, should be agenda-free, should be unbeholden to the man who appoints them, should be able to impartially and unemotionally rule on any decision without any prejudice and so on.

Basically, they should be EVERYTHING that Biff’s nominees have not been.

We can look at Sotomayor and find fault.  We can look at Butch Kagan and not only find fault but perhaps criminality for not recusing herself during the OBAMA’S OBAMACARE trial.  And the first name Biff floats to fill Scalia’s seat is the Latino Republican of Nevada.

Yeah he is a “Republican” like most “Republicans”, that being a RINO.   Add to that he is a pal of Dingy Harry.  Oh, he is pro-infanticide.

So, Biff tries to pimp and fool the Republicans, the Latinos (because we know there will never be a case involving the illegals before SCOTUS, right….) and the baby-killers.

When you try to fool everyone you fool no one.  And it is only the mentally defective who think otherwise.

As I said last issue, we do not want or need a moderate on the bench and we certainly do not need an activist or a progressive or a socialist or anyone chosen by one who is.

And that, my children and fellow grasshoppers, is the crux of this particular biscuit.

In the worst of times, the worst president will do their best to keep us safe (Biff not as much as he could.) In the best of times, they not only kept us safe but made us strong and feared by our enemies.  He did the best for the majority of the commonwealth and did little for special interest or activist agenda groups. (God Bless you, Ronald Reagan.)

Other than keeping us safe the next most critical job of a president is to ensure the laws are being acted on properly, laws are being followed, lawlessness is punished and the Law of the Land is properly interpreted.

That is why, other than the responsibility for the nuclear football, the most important thing a President does is to nominate people to the SCOTUS.

Sometimes a President gets it right (Scalia [Reagan], Thomas [GHW Bush], Alito [GW Bush]) sometimes the President gets it wrong (Souter [GHW Bush], Breyer [Clinton], Roberts [GW Bush]), and sometimes the president picks a tool that should be nowhere near that level of power (Butch [Biff], Sotomayor [Biff].)

The bottom line is that the nomination of one to be a Justice does not always work out.  (Biggest shock, and quisling, was Roberts.)  But unless there are other “Roberts’” out there, and I am sure there are, one hopes the next President (or God Forbid, president) will exercise all due diligence and counsel to pick the right person for the job.

Yes, there is a big stink going on now with Biff trying to twist arms to get his guy/gay/gal/gender-fluid/illegal alien on the bench.  I must say I do not have the confidence that I wish I had that Earl McCornbread is not going to sell the people of America for a few pieces of silver. He is barely a step above Dingy Harry.

To his credit, as far as we know, he held fast in a meeting with Biff et al on Tuesday.  To his shame, Sen. Leahy (A-Hat) lied when he said the “president shall nominate and the Senate shall…”  Er, no, the Senate “shall” do no such thing.  But, he is a weasel, what do you expect.

In the last issue I showed the paradigm shift in the Court from barely Originalist, to split, to Activist.  (I calls ‘em as I sees ‘em.)

When you have people (not “men”) like Leahy, Biff, Hilderbeast, Dingy Harry and others who have such little regard for us that they will boldface lie to us with what is easily found to be true in the Constitution, it shows a pathological personality.

But my concern is not with the current vacancy. For all I could care it is nothing but political posturing on both sides.  Someone, eventually, is going to get that seat.

The odds are not looking good for Biff to get that chance but nothing is foolproof as this fool has proved time and time again.

To summarize and to set the table for future issues, the following:

Justice Ginsberg is 82, Kennedy is 79 and Breyer is 77.

It is not out of the realm of possibility that the next P/president will nominate not one, but absent of other influences and accidents, as many as three or four.

We NEED, we MUST replace Scalia with an originalist just to maintain status quo.  With two of the three likely to no longer be on the bench in the foreseeable future of the Left and the third the unpredictable “swing vote”, can you now see how critical it is not to elect any Democrat/Socialist/Communist/Marxist?

For one, those who would vote for a Democrat/Socialist/Communist/Marxist have proven that they are mentally deficient and we must be protected from them and us from them.

Second, most of those folks regard the Constitution like BJ Clinton respects his marriage vows.  Meaning they will try to get away with everything and if they get caught, big deal, who cares, none of your business.

Except that it is.

(Hilderbeast is promising a “progressive”, Biff said he won’t nominate a “moderate.”  If you know what the charge of the SCOTUS is this flies in the face of it.  Both of these clowns should be barred in perpetuity from making such a nomination. Yet, their pinions cheer.  And again, proof of mental defect.)

To put a finer point on this the greatest threat to our Nation is the person who may be elected to the highest office in the land, IF it is not the RIGHT person.

We will discuss this more as we discuss the pros and cons of the Republicans.  There is no sense to even to discuss the Hilderbeast or Socialist Sanders.  They are one in the same, but as much as I do not trust the Hilderbeast, I trust Socialist Sanders that much less.

Last word: Supposedly, sometime today, Mitt “The Loser” Romney is going to give a news conference on Lord Knows what. I can only assume it will be either/or anti-Trump or the words of the Master Cylinder and the rest of the “RINO” power “elite.”  I find it odd that the powers that be tapped a big loser to tell Trump where he is going wrong or to lay out the case that they need to pick anyone but Trump. Romney is beneath contempt and almost as abhorrent as Rove.  You can be sure I will have a few words.

Out.

 “I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.”

Genesis 3:19 / John 3:16

My Friends and Fellow Sufferers:

WE are just getting started…

In the last issue we stated that liberalism is a mental disease. Let’s dig a little deeper into that.

Einstein’s definition of insanity is doing the same thing, time after time, and expecting a different result.  Another definition of insanity would be refusal to accept the truth when faced with an overwhelming body of facts.

There is an old story of a woman who attended a talk on astronomy.  As the speaker was talking about how the earth and the other planets revolved around the sun and how our solar system revolved around in our galaxy this woman stood up and said that the speaker was all wrong.

The speaker, being nicer than he might have been, asked the lady what was HER explanation of how the earth and the other planets move around the sun.  She explained that earth and the other planets sit on the backs of turtles and they walk around the sun.

OK, said the lecturer, but how, he asked her, did the turtle move around as the earth was suspended in space.  The woman was prepared and said “Don’t trifle with me sonny. It is turtles all the way down.”

Er, yes, I see now.

Faced with the cold hard facts that disprove their beliefs, they come up with their version of “turtles all the way down.”

The sad thing is that they are so deluded, so detached from reality that they are willing to believe almost anything but facts.

(I joked recently on a Libs friends FB page that “global warming” killed the unicorns.  Some dim-witted chickolina used that later on in the thread as “proof” of “global warming.”  It would be funny, but she votes.)

Recall some time back some anti-gun genius suggested that if a woman is being sexually attacked that one of the best weapons would be to wet her pants.  (Sorry.)  Of course, a gun in this situation would be useless, claimed these geniuses that is would be far better to do this to dissuade a potential rapist then to shoot him.

Ignoring the fact that such an action might even been more exciting to the rapist it totally ignores that being armed and trained would not only protect the young lady but if he pressed the issue she would have the ability to solve the problem.  And that particular problem would stay solved.

Recently some folks set up a fake website that was eliciting support for potential rape victims.  To be fair, I am not a fan of mocking legitimate victims, I see no advantage of making someone’s misery even worse. But the site was less a slam on any victims but of the mental defect of those who were supportive of looney causes.

The bottom line is that the website suggested that women wet their trousers as a sign of solidarity for those who have been attacked.

What happened was not only did women do that but so did “men” and they were kind enough to send in pics. Needless to say the “thoughts” of these folks were equally disturbing as their lack of hygiene.

I guess it depends.

(If you are interested, locate “Chicks on the Right” on their website of the same name and you will find the link.  I am loathe to put the link to the article here as even the title of it is not for proper company.)

So, as we can see, the Libs afflicted with their disease are unable to separate fact from fiction when it comes to ideology.

But there is something worse: The Carrier.

You see, liberal bovine scatology does not just pop up like dust bunnies under your bed. It needs a host to spread the disease.

With the advent of the interwebs all kinds of things are offered for consumption for folks of all stripes. But, even when some peeps start a website for a fictitious cause to taunt the lib twits, it will never get the currency and wide dissemination it does with the help of the house organ, the State Run Muzzie Friendly Media.

It is bad enough they lie, dissemble, under- and mis-report the events of the day they feel like reporting but they are not above letting the low-double-digit-lower-information-voter from having their ignorance displayed for their kindred ilk to read, believe and spread like small pox in a penal colony.

(I was so hoping to make this the last part of this train [or train wreck] of thought, but I can see that by the time I get to the intent of where I want to have been this issue, it would be way past any of our bedtimes.)

For those of you who have been reading THE Fish for any length of time know that this thing of ours evolved out my letters to the various editors.  Over the years I have expressed my loathing for one paper in particular, my local rag and substandard absorber of car fluid leaks, NEWSDAY.

Once a respectable newspaper, it has since devolved to a poor excuse of a Pennysaver except with a better sports column and a good Saturday crossword puzzle.

Back in the day it reported almost exclusively on things on Long Island in particular and the metro New York area in general.  Sure, there were other nationwide and worldwide stories, but it was a local paper.

Do recall, years ago there were any number of papers in New York, at times close to twenty daily papers. There were “bull dog editions” (the earliest edition of the paper, usually just after midnight), morning, afternoon, evening and at times late night editions and of course, “Extras!” (Read all about it!)

There was no internet, there was no cable TV, in fact there was about thirty minutes or less of news per day on the three networks.  Therefore, other than from the radio, you did not get the “latest” news and certainly not in any detail except from the newspapers.  The papers each had a niche and time or times of a day they printed.  (I recall the “stars” on some papers so you knew which edition you were reading.)

With TV news, cable and now the interwebs, there is 60/60/24/7/365 dissemination of information.  The papers had to pick and choose their demographics and somehow, NEWSDAY went straight to the gutter for the least common denominator.

Proving Einstein was right, I have been insanely writing letters to the editors for yonks pointing out their errors, lies and ideology.  (I missed “catching more flies with honey” class, apparently.)

I have had run-ins with this Marchaud chick who is one of the opinion page editors and an opiner in her own right.  She once took me to task for agreeing with her.  She could not understand that I actually agreed with her assessment on something and she assumed I was putting her down.  This is the same woman who, when I would send in a letter, would want me to cite my sources.  Yet, they print whatever they want when it suits their slant.

Or, my feud with a long-gone and now forgotten editor who did a hatchet job on my letter to the point that I threatened a lawsuit.  This predicated a call from this guy who told me I was wrong and he had been an editor for thirty-five years.  When I suggested that most people know their jobs after that long he asked me if I thought I could do better

“Better?  How hard could that be? I will be there at 9.00AM, with my ‘Fowlers’, I take my coffee strong and black and where shall I park.”

For some reason, I must have lost the connection.

Three weeks ago, some genius had his letter printed about how the 14^th Amendment gives citizenship to all born here.

Wrong.  Fail.

Two weeks ago, another genius had his brilliant letter printed where he stated “since the Constitution guarantees a ‘Separation of Church and State’ that…” what came next is irrelevant.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. Fail, fail, fail.

This week, the dimmest of the dim bulbs proved that one can be braindead and still have his letter printed.  Truly I should not blame him, he is just ignorant.  But the 4^th Estate of NEWSDAY should have not printed something which caused him much ridicule.  He claims that the ONLY reason FOR the 2^nd Amendment was for a militia.   He buttressed is insanity by proving himself correct in that we have a strong military now and there is no longer a need for that Amendment.

He even WROTE the Amendment verbatim. Too bad he did not read it.  It CLEARLY states the reason why we have such a right is BECAUSE the gummint DOES have the militia and power to subjugate us.  The Amendment is for US to protect ourselves from a rogue gummint.  (Now does it make more sense why Biff wants guns taken away?)

AARGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

For your edification the letters I wrote, sent and were promptly ignored are at the bottom for your perusal.

There is no good place to end this part either.  There will be a third part to this which I hope will be the last part. Don’t bet on it.

Editor:

As usual there are letters printed that have no basis in realty but promote NEWSDAY’s dangerous liberal agenda.

The letter writer from South Huntington would have us believe that the purpose of the 2nd Amendment was to arm a militia.  He goes on to explain that it is no longer needed as we have well established armed forces and law enforcement.  It is apparent this writer not only did not study this topic but did not read what he wrote as he cited the Amendment.  The purpose of the Amendment was to protect the people FROM our own armed forces and law enforcement.

By the looks of the way this administration is running roughshod over our constitutional rights, issuing executive orders, ruling by fiat and more it is more apparent every day that the Founding Fathers knew what they were doing.

Perhaps a remedial course in the Constitution for that writer and the editorial board would be in order.  This is at least the third time in as many weeks that NEWSDAY has directly or tacitly trough letter writers who do not know better misrepresent the Constitution,

Editor:

As usual you can’t be trusted. From misreporting to not reporting to ignoring the basic tenets of fair journalism, you keep sinking to new lows.

You allow “letters to the editor” to carry the contaminated water which you can’t bring yourself to claim authorship but do not have the integrity not just to print blatant lies and misrepresentations but then refuse retract them when called upon.

Please, show me where in the Constitution I can find the “separation of church and state” clause.

Please, point me to the part of the 14th Amendment that states that a child of a foreign national born here is a citizen.

Yet, when there is something so plain to understand as the 2nd Amendment, for some reason Newsday and your water carriers cannot understand what it means.

We can go on and on with your ignorance, or is it disdain, of the Law of the Land but that is a start. Yet, you wrap yourself in the 1st Amendment.

Today, you have a letter from a former medical examiner who throws out the red herring that the “selection of the district attorney should be apolitical” then uses as an example how he became a medical examiner.

If we used his rubric for selecting all of our elected officials, there would be vacancies from the White House to the local court house.  Despite what Newsday and that writer suggest, the Founding Fathers had some good ideas including those on election.

Ms. Singas has had the opportunity to distinguish herself as acting DA and so far she has done little to do so. Meanwhile Ms. Murray has a far more distinguished and accomplished CV than does rival.

With all due respect, kindly start reporting the news, unvarnished, unspun and totally and stop letting people who ought to know better carry your water.

Newsday should not be an acronym for “Not Everyone Wants Slants, Disinformation And Yellow-journalism.”

“Opening minds and angravating liberals since 2001”

“I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.”

Genesis 3:19 / John 3:16

My Friends and Fellow Sufferers:

This is where the previous few issues have been leading.

First off, I am not a medical or mental health professional.   What I am going to lay out is coming strictly from the layman’s viewpoint. Now that does not mean I am unqualified to make certain diagnoses (or are you for that matter.) After all, with respect to the myriad mental disorders much of our lives are spent in clinical observation of the not-quite-right. (And, to be fair, sometimes, WE are the lab rats for others.   Ok, at least I could be.)

Formal education notwithstanding, sometimes the non-professional is quicker to see the problem or offer the solution because of the lack of formal education in a particular discipline.

Why is that?

Because we do not know better.

Think about all the inventions in the world. Think about how many were invented by non-professionals. I mean how many people told the Wright Brothers that their plane would never work? Now, how many of you have flown in a plane?

I rest my case.

So, today I am going to amplify on and perhaps dig deeper into the old story (but more recently divined as fact) that “liberals are crazy.”

Not that I doubt that for a moment that is not true but I think I am getting closer to why. I am sure I do not have the solution but perhaps someone can use our ideas to cure this dreaded disease. For instances there have been times that I have suggested solutions for things out of my wheelhouse and as a last resort my ideas have been employed and alas they worked.

I would be asked why did I know the solution and I would often say that I was not bright enough to know there were other, more complicated, solutions.

Perhaps the same holds true here.

So let’s (finally) go.

Freud was right.

Yup, it is all about sex.

No, you with the dirty mind, not sexual activities but, perhaps better said as “gender.”

Oh, and self-hate.

So, Class, what are the root causes of “Liberalism?”

“Gender and self-hate!”

Well done but let’s qualify that a bit. It is self-hate that was propagated by some gender related issue at one point. We may get to the genesis of that but we may never find out what was the real issue but whatever your guess is, it is prolly right.

Something happened one day. I don’t know what and I don’t know when, but I suspect it was something stupid and prolly sometime in the Fifties or perhaps Sixties.

Now, they have always been “feminists” and like other castes of the fringes of society, they pretty much kept to themselves and their agenda got little traction.

If you are not convinced of that, consider the gays and how they were basically law-breakers back then and now they consider not being gay a criminal offence and Biff seems to bend over to embrace that position.

So one day back then, some woman made a demand on some poor guy to advance her feminist agenda. Makes no difference what it was but it was most likely immoral, anti-God and was going to cost someone something.

This guy did whatever the woman wanted and, worse, to cover up his indiscretion he most likely got a friend to go along with whatever the first guy did.

Some of the girls saw this plan work and they got other guys to do what they wanted because “that other guy did what he was told” and so on.

Ever hear the story of the monkeys?

There was a lab and a cage with five monkeys in it. There was a banana hanging from the top of the cage and a ladder beneath it. When a monkey went up the ladder the scientist would soak the other monkeys. Soon, anytime a monkey went up the ladder the other monkeys would beat him up and pull him off the ladder so that they would not get soaked. After a while no monkeys went up the ladder.

Then the scientist replaced one of the old monkeys with a new one.   The first think he did was to try to get to the banana. The first thing the four old monkeys did was beat him up. Soon, that monkey tired of the beatings and stopped trying to get the banana.

In order the second, third, fourth and finally fifth monkeys were replace by new ones. Of course all had tried to get to the banana and all were beaten. Finally, the cage was populated with monkeys who were never soaked with cold water but also we afraid to go for the banana for fear of a beating.

It is much the same with liberal ideas.

With the libs, you need to replace the concept of a banana with what would be a good idea or solution to a problem. The scientist would represent the feminist and the cold water would be emblematic of ignorance, bigotry, hate, fear and all the other calling cards of the left.

Again, there have always been odd-balls, misfits, rousers of rabble, reprobates, misanthropes, self-haters, anti-religionists, grifters, cons, scammers and shammers and all sorts of dregs of society. For the most part, they were kept under control and out of any kind of power.

While our Country is the first to not only accept them but to make them not just protected classes but mainstream and welcomed into all levels of governance.

History is littered with the debris of empires and civilizations who have let the wrong kind of people assume too much power.   From the ancient Greek City-States, to Alexander the Great, to Rome, to the many of the European states of the Middle Ages and Renaissance to the French Revolution to today.

And today our Country is on the precipice of crashing into the abyss of oblivion of failed states and there is Biff ready to help by using the world’s largest pry bar to put us over the edge. (If you are not sure, take a few minutes and watch the links below. The first would be funny if it was so danged serious and the other should be sufficient evidence to impeach at the very least, WTLF.

As the Gipper said: “It isn’t so much that Liberals are ignorant. It’s that they know so many things that aren’t true.” I think he was being generous.

Looking briefly at a few topics will prove that it takes a sick and diseased mind to come up with some things.

I do not know a doctor who disputes that a pregnant woman is carrying a human baby. But it takes a subhuman depravity to convince oneself that it is a blob of cells and not human. This is the mindset of the racist and eugenicist Margaret Sanger who started Planned Parenthood. The dupes who follow this creep especially the “execs” know EXACTLY what they are doing, yet, are unrepentant. They are all orders of magnitude worse than drug dealers.

I am not picking, but not that many years ago sodomy was outlawed and prosecuted. In fact there are still some anti-sodomy laws on the books. But, the same strident, militant minority that perpetrated the modern liberal miasma are doing all THEY can do to wipe out heterosexuality. The gays are a protected species. They claim they do not want “special rights” just the same rights as everyone else.

Look in the Constitution. Where does it say gays are banned from anything? Nowhere. Yet, they claim they are being discriminated against. The lie they believe is that they are not asking for preferential treatment but in reality they are. Yet, no one called them on it.

Let’s put that in small perspective.

The other day, some chap at a Trump rally stated that Biff was a Muzzie. Trump did not acknowledge that remark nor did he comment on it. He claims that he did not hear that part of the remark. Who knows, maybe he did, maybe he didn’t but the fact remains he neither said it nor countenanced it.

Yet, the SRMFM is up in arms! They reported that a “Trump supporter” said Biff was a Muzzie. Of course, they never said that Trump said anything at all and for all we know the chap who made the comment may have been a Dem shill.

But, it gets worse! The Hilderbeast, you know, the one many hold responsible for Benghazi, the one who refuses to address that event, the one that said of the four brutal murder “what difference does it make”, the one who “allegedly” contrary to law had her own email server and there were “allegedly” secret documents passed through it and she 1) ignored, 2) denied then 3) joked about “wiping” the drives clean, and that is just recently, well, she had the utter gonadature to take Trump to task for the comment.

Now, we all know that is all bovine scatology. And we all know the Hilderbeast is genetically incapable of telling the truth. But, why is being a Muzzie a bad thing? I mean, according to Biff, WTLF, the Hilderbeast and all the Libs, the Muzzies are the bestest people in the world!   Gee! It should be an honor to be called a Muzzie, yes?

But the Left think we are stupid so, they are good people when we are being sold down the pipe in the Iran deal but it is not a good thing to be called one.

Huh?

The Left can find a reason for almost everything in the 14^th Amendment. They claim “intent” and so on. Also they are fans of the 8^th Amendment a source for finding “intent.”

Yet, they think the 2^nd Amendment does not say that we can “bear arms” and that even if it did, it means only muskets and then only by the army.

There is no good earlier place to end this part. There will be a second part to this which will sum it all up. This issue is already too long…

“Opening minds and angravating liberals since 2001”

“I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.”

Genesis 3:19 / John 3:16

My Friends and Fellow Patriots:

(DISCLAIMER: This issue is a repeat. This is devoid, as best as I can, of any politics. I first wrote this about twelve years ago. There have been some things which have happened since, but I am loathe to edit it.  In re-reading it, I cannot, I will not change a word other than to make the year current. Sadly, nothing can ease the pain. Nothing can make this make any more sense now than it did fourteen years ago, perhaps even less sense now. Sadder still, nothing much has changed for the good and prolly more for the worse. Please take a moment and consider all those who were murdered fourteen years ago. Keep them in your heart and your prayers. And make a vow to yourself that you will do all that you can to keep our great Country as great as it is and in the mold that our Founding Fathers had envisioned and intended.  And looking at things and the current climate, it does not look like it is getting any better.   God Help us all.)

Lester Marino. Kathy Mazza. Patrick Lyons.

What do these people have in common?

Not a whole lot, really.  A few things, but other than living in my neighborhood and being my neighbors, not all that much.  A tradesman, a cop, a fire man, just regular people. One thing that they do have in common is that there are streets named for them in my neighborhood.

You never heard of them? I am not surprised. They were not politicians or, to be candid, famous in any way to those outside of their families and friends would be my guess. So why are there streets named for them? Because like a few dozen others from my town, and many hundreds on Long Island and close to 3000 men, women and children, they were murdered fourteen years ago this morning.

You see, we are regular Americans, we have many differences and many similarities. In my middle-class neighborhood, we have all kinds of people; police, firemen, teachers, tradesmen, salespeople, soccer moms and yes, gasp, criminals, just like most any other neighborhood or area in our country. Many houses have flags flying, not all but quite a few. And no matter what one’s views are, what their politics are, what kind of person one is, we are all pissed that terrorists felt the need to murder our neighbors.

There was nothing out of the ordinary the morning of Tuesday, September 11, 2001. A late summer morning and the sun was shining. As always, I turned on the television to get the morning news. Not a lot of things going on and I was more interested in the business forecasts than anything else that day. I had just come out of the shower when I glanced at the TV and saw a building with smoke billowing from it. It took a second for me to recognize it as one of the World Trade Center towers. The crawl on the screen that read: “Small plane hits WTC.”

Then, a second plane hit.

My first thought was “Bastards, we have been attacked.” And I was, for once in my life, correct. Stunned, I watched the screen as I tied my tie over and over again, absentmindedly. Finally, I snapped to and resolved to myself that I was not going to do anything different. I was sure it was a terrorist attack and I know that one of their aims would be to disrupt, confuse and frighten the populace.

I drove to work, radio on, listening to the reports, conjectures and speculations. Numb, I arrived at work, flipped on the computer and tried to get some work done. The radio played in the background and there was little talk among my fellow employees, nothing really needed to be said, we all felt the same.

Phone rings, it is my wife who tells me that James, her cousin, may have been on one of the flights as he was to fly from Boston to California that morning. My gosh! Fortunately, we soon learn that he decided to change his plans the night before and was safe in Beantown. His brother, Sean, is a fireman. In a strange coincidence, he was on vacation that week. But, like many, many other police and firemen, after hearing of the attacks he rushed to the scene. Going to his firehouse first was not an option as he knew they would already be on scene. So he went to the WTC and reported to the first captain he saw and went to work. Good luck and God’s Mercy shined on the brothers as most in Sean’s firehouse perished. Had he been on duty, that may have been his fate, had James not changed his travel plans, it was a distinct possibility that they both would have been murdered.

The report of the Pentagon being attacked was almost surreal as was the news that the first of the towers had collapsed. By the time we heard in short order that a plane had crashed in Pennsylvania, we wondered what was next.

America was under attack, there was no doubt about it. But would there be more?

For some reason I can still feel it in my bones right now just as I did fourteen years ago and that is that I was mad as hell, not scared, not worried but mad.  And, it was a shared feeling. Every man and woman and in the office felt the same.  We all knew it was an attack, we all wanted to know who did it and we all wanted those behind the attacks to suffer very, very horribly. There was no fear, in fact, there was resolve. There was no blaming of the President (although the Dems did that after a respectful amount of time) and only support for those who were on the scene.

None of us knew any more than anyone else at that time. Nor did we know the extent of the loss and who we may have lost.

I remember bringing a piano to the Windows of the World, many years ago. Oxymoronic, really, because at the time as when I was delivering the piano, the building was still under construction and there and not all of the windows were installed. For over thirty years, the Twin Towers dominated the New York skyline, like the Empire State Building did before and, sadly, does again now.

I live on the South Shore of Long Island and even from some thirty-odd miles away, the towers were visible, especially from the Great South Bay. The sadness of being out on the water in the week after the attacks and seeing nothing but a pillar of smoke and then, eventually, nothing, was devastating. Especially in contrast to seeing the towers off in the distance, like old friends, for so many years.

My seats at (the old) Giants Stadium were in the end zone of the west side of the stadium. Off to my right, the towers could be seen, looming over the top tier of seats, mute spectators to the sport being played.

Walking on Bleaker Street one could look south down Sullivan or Thompson Streets, for instance, and see the towers piercing the sky in contrast to the 3-4 storey buildings on those blocks, and at night, the spectacle was even more dramatic!

You see, if you lived in New York anytime from the late ‘60’s when the towers were being built until late 2001, they were part of your life.

They took years to build but only hours to destroy.

And with that, almost 3,000 lives were snuffed out that day in New York, The Pentagon and a lonely field in Shanksville Pennsylvania. The last a result of the heroics of a few who found out what had already happened, quickly surmised the plan afoot and took actions to thwart the terrorists dastardly plot, even though they knew their time on, or rather, over, God’s Green Earth was short.

We have been blessed that in the past fourteen years there have not been any more terrorist attacks on our soil. We reacted quickly and decisively in Afghanistan and later in Iraq to do our best to contain and where possible eradicate terrorism.

There are those Americans, even some who hold or aspire to high office, who think our actions in the Sandbox and Afghanistan are foolish, futile and dangerous.

I would have them look at those countries that supported our efforts at first then succumbed to pressure from their Left and abandoned us. With the UK being an anomaly, as they have remained steadfast allies to us, other counties have suffered terrorist attacks in their cities.

Terrorists are not conventional warriors or fighters, they are cowards. Their chief weapon is fear. They will leverage the people’s fear as a weapon to destroy that country. For the life of me, I do not understand why these savages are hell-bent on trying to destroy the world. If they are doing it in the name of their god, then they are apostate as no true God would condone such action. If they are doing it simply for world domination, well, they are attempting to operate above their pay grade as they are throwbacks from the middle ages and could not possible run the world. That is, of course, unless they wish to live in the stone-age.

So why do they attack us? Why do they want to kill us?

I wish I knew. The only plausible reason, discounting the above, is that they are jealous, ignorant or both of those living as a free people. I wish I had a better answer. I am sure my neighbors wish that as well.

Yet, despite the carnage of that day, despite the lives lost, despite the sense of community all across our Country, despite the fact that we freed over 50,000,000 people from bondage in Afghanistan and Iraq, despite the fact that we have been safe on our soil due to the sacrifice of our brave men and women in the Armed Services especially those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, despite all that and more, there are those who think should turn tail and surrender in Iraq, who think we can negotiate with these cowardly animals, who do not give a large rodents hindquarters about us, in fact hold us in contempt.

I so did not want this to become a political screed but I hear the voices of those who perished that day as clear as a bell. The recordings of the last phone conversations of a husband calling to say “good bye” to his wife and kids are forever in my mind. The sights of people who jumped from a window almost a quarter of a mile high in the sky in a last, desperate attempt to avoid the same fate that awaited them inside the tower are etched indelibly in my mind’s eye. I cannot let it go. I cannot forget. I will never forgive until each and every person who wishes us harm and are willing to act upon that are dispatched to their hating and vengeful god.

When I see a politician wanting to cut the funds to our troops, I see the face of Mohammed Atta.

When I hear the voice of a politician telling us we have lost the war in Iraq, I hear the voice of Usama bin Laden.

When I read an email from the Left that tells me that things have never been worse and that we need a “regime change”, I see the political graffiti of the rest of the terrorists.

When I hear a politician tell me that we need change, I hear those who died that day crying out that we do not need change, we need to stick together and fight this to the end.

Hardly a Saturday from when the weather became pleasant until the first frosts that Lester was not up early, getting his boat ready for a cruise around the bay or just to do some fishing. Hardly a Saturday has passed since 9-11 that I do not think of that.

Do what you want, vote for whomever you wish. If you can live with yourself knowing that your vote might cause the death of many and the destruction of our county, good for you.

If you think I am an alarmist or some nut case, let me posit this: If I told you on September 10^th 2001 that the following day, four planes were going to be hijacked and the Twin Towers would be destroyed, that the Pentagon would be severely damaged and that one plane, bound for Washington D.C. would be crashed by the heroic actions of a few brave passengers rather than let the terrorists score another victory, I am equally sure I would have been called an alarmist, nut case or worse.

Remember this, we have to be right all the time, the terrorists have to be right only once.

On this somber day, regardless of your political stripe, I hope you will take time out of your busy day and do something to remember all those who were murdered that day.

If you are inclined to prayer, say one, if not, offer some kind of respectful thought. If there is some kind of public observance, make every honest effort to attend it. If there is not some kind of observation, perhaps you might wish to organize one or have something at your home.

I will try to get out into the bay, imagine Lester there and take a forlorn look to the West and remember a day, a day or more than fourteen years ago, when the silver sentinels stood their post over lower Manhattan. Then off to a prayer service followed by some reflective time.

I will see the faces, I will hear the voices and I will probably shed more than one tear.

I will thank God for all the blessings He has bestowed upon our Country in general and me in particular.

I will pray for those who are protecting us, here and abroad, especially those in Iraq and Afghanistan.

I will do a lot.

But I will never forget.

I will never forgive.

God Bless, God Speed and God Bless America

“Opening minds and angravating liberals since 2001”

“I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.”

Genesis 3:19 / John 3:16

My Friends and Fellow Part-takers:

I Do Not know where to start.  I just don’t.  Sadly before I DO start I need to add a disclaimer.  This issue has but one, singular purpose: To deconstruct the lies and equivocations of the Left. Or shall I call them the “Radical, agenda driven Left.”  (You will see why I chose that term in a few.)  While this issue will deal exclusively with the so-called “Planned Parenthood” “conspiracy”, it has little to do with infanticide, as the topic.    My 100% Pro-Life position is well known to you and those who disagree are more than welcome to do so.  (I am still waiting for anyone to cogently, dispassionately and factually defend infanticide, but that is not part of this equation.)

This is not an apologia for Pro-Life nor a condemnation, per se, of those who think differently.  What I hope to do is to use recent events in this arena to expose the lies, hypocrisy and utter intellectual dishonesty of the Left.

You tell me if I succeed.

We have been told for years by the abortion fans that the baby in a woman’s body is not a baby but a “mass of cells.”  It is a “choice.”  It is “woman’s health.”  Heck these peeps would call it three-wheel-platypus before they call it want it is:  It is a human baby.

And, for what it worth, the ultra Libs, the anti-Child, the eugenicists, the one-worlders and others have lied, bullied and legislated abortion into the law of the land.

(Not for any other purpose but to prove this is all bovine scatology and to offer additional proof that the Left lie, for some reason, hidden way out of sight in the 8^th Amendment was this thing that said it was fine to kill a baby.  Funny, I never learned that in law class.  But, the 2^nd Amendment which CLEARLY gives the right to bear arms, well that is a little unclear to these muttonheads.  These are the same Constitutional “scholars” who not only can see the “separation of church and state” in that document but can prove that it give no rights to Christians and Jews.  In fact, those religions should just shut up and go away in their view.)

Unless you only watch network news, you have prolly heard of the nice folks from “Planned Parenthood” “allegedly” “selling” aborted baby “parts.”

When I say “alleged” I mean that with the same skepticism that the Grand Canyon is not a huge hole in the ground.

You know, I love it when a plan comes together.  While I am not holding my breath PP, may have inadvertently signed their own death warrant, ironically.

Back story: Yes it was a set-up, a sting if you will, what the police might call an “undercover operation” and what the guilty call “entrapment” and “illegal.”  ‘Cept that it was not.  An anti-abortion group contacted people from PP, some “doctors”, others administrators of some sort. They were invited to a sit-down and they brought their own rope to the hanging.

The deal was the anti-abortion group were exploring the rumor that PP and perhaps others were selling “parts” from aborted babies.  They got a number of these folks to talk dollars and cents about these deals.

(Oh, the “parts”, well, we would call them hearts, lungs, livers and so on. You know, the standard component of a “mass of cells.”)

There was discussion of making the abortions “less crunchy” so as to preserve the most valuable organs of these dead babies.  There was talk from one “doctor” that she hoped that she would realize enough cash to “buy a Lamborghini.”

No, nothing to see here.  I mean, “by the law” there is no profit to be made by “donated” organs, just the cost of harvest and transportation.

Apparently that woman was going to deliver the organs in a $400,000 sports car!

Well, these videos are leaked and they make the rounds.  The “coverage” on the networks and cable outlets was breathtaking. When I say “coverage”, that encompasses either admitting there were films or “reporting” on “a scam perpetrated” on the saints at PP.

In the ten days following the release of the tape, other than FOX, of all the day time, prime time, late night news shows on all the networks and cable AND all of the morning “news-shows” like “Fernwood 2 Night”, I mean “Good Morning America” and the “Today Show”, there was a grand total of ALL stations, ALL times of the day, ALL “sides of the story” somewhere close to 11 minutes of coverage.

11 minutes of coverage.

11 minutes from ALL stations, outlets and everything.

11 minutes.

300,000 babies a year are murdered.

11 minutes.  That is how long it takes PP to kill more than six babies.

ABC, what a bunch of champs, rang in with 7 seconds of coverage.

7 seconds.

About a company that gets an average of $400,000,000 a year in tax player subsides. (There will be an issue on this sort of thing.)

In other words, you, I and all the other chumps out there are paying Planned Parenthood the equivalent of ONE THOUSAND LAMBORGHINIS a year. Every year.

As the Hilderbeast might say “One Lamborghini? What difference does it make!”

Fast forward to Sunday with George Snuffaluffagus.  He had the reprehensible activist Cecile Richards on his show.  She is a Democrat (duh), president of Planned Parenthood, an activist and more.

(I think the PP work she does is merely for drill.  She founded an activist group called “America Votes.”  [They aren’t and they shouldn’t.] If you need a handy pocket guide to most of the anti-American groups out there, just take a gander of their “partners”:  http://www.americavotes.org/nationalpartnerspage )

So, this “woman” spun, gyrated, lied, obfuscated, misrepresented and maybe, just maybe, put a nail in the infanticide industry.

I do not necessarily like or admire Snuffaluffagus.  But from where I sit, he gave Richards a hard time, no softballs and did not let her off the hook.

No, he did not verbally crucify her as I would have preferred but as he is a bought and paid for hack he had to color inside the lines.  My guess is that his father, who is a Greek Orthodox priest and Dean Emeritus of the Archdiocesan Cathedral of the Holy Trinity of New York might have been the driver here. As much as the Lib machine owns him, I am sure there was no way he was going to go against his father’s beliefs in this matter.

Back to Richards.  In the interview she claims the films were “doctored” or “heavily edited” or “taken out of context” nine times.  So, every time a clip was shown, that was pretty much her stock response.  Of course of those nine times she never said what was “doctored” out, or what the “unedited film” would show or what the real “context” was.

Her second silver bullet was her blaming the “militant anti-abortion groups.”  Ignoring, of course, that Planned Parenthood is not just a “militant pro-abortion group” but in a just and fair world would be indicted under RICO statutes if not closed down altogether.  She blamed the mythical “militant anti-abortion groups” five times for the “doctored”, “edited out of context” smoking guns.

What was truly disturbing was her body language, inflection and facial movements. She did not appear to be lying, or what we might have thought was a lie. And wait for the bits below for that to sink in.  She is either pathologic, possessed or both.

I am not sure which was more disturbing, her lack of even a scintilla of morals, her outright lying or her grasping at every straw which might prove to be made out of concertina wire.

You see, this harvesting was all done as “donations” by the, well, what do you call her?  Can’t call her “mother.”  Pod, perhaps.  Donor? I do not recall if she referred to the now empty vessel by a name.

But she was so impressed that these “donors” were so “concerned” about the “safety” and “health” of others.  She wanted us to believe that these women presenting their own flesh and blood to cease living were nothing but altruistic saints.  (As far as this being a “donation” I would love to see the consent form.)

Yes, these donors killed their babies so that others may live.

Of course that was not the driving force.  PP is known for their birth control, abortion fits that bill.  Just ask Margaret Sanger on her views and why she founded this group.

She even called the organs as “life saving tissue.”  Gee, how can THAT be? I mean, according to the biggest brains at PP, we have no idea when life begins.  How can something which is not life save one?

Before we get to the best part I cringe when she lied that this is all for woman’s health. (I assure you, if there was a “Men’s Health” the witches would be up in arms crying sexism.)  She lied that only three-percent of the activity involved abortion.

Gee, I love numbers. They, like her, can lie.

You see globally the three percent of all activities are abortions.  But, as these women come for examinations and other things prior to and after abortion, her number runs false.

Therefore if you look at “clients” and not “visits” it is more like twenty-three percent of PP business involves the death of a baby.  Over HALF of all the money that comes in to PP goes towards abortions (and they are getting close to a half-bil from you and me!)  Depending on whose numbers you use, somewhere between close to thirty to over forty percent of ALL abortions in America are done at PP.

So, spare me the “mammograms” and the “pelvic examinations.”  Those are not money makers, they don’t keep the lights on.

She said other insulting, offensive and factually bereft statements.

But, other than the saintly donors pile of owl offal, the “safety and health” of all but the guest of honor, other than the “only no-cost medical facility for women” utter bovine scatology, she hung herself, IMHBVAO, with calling the donated parts “fetal tissue.”

A Philadelphia lawyer could easily make the claim that PPs allegation that the baby is a “mass of cells” and “not a human life” is hogwash and they should be shut down for being a criminal enterprise.

Her use of the word “fetus” is a greater smoking gun than all the other allegations and insinuations.

Fetus (/ˈfiːtəs/; plural “fetuses”), also spelled foetus, is a prenatal human between its embryonic state and its birth.  “Prenatal” means “before birth.” And we all know what a human is.

So by her own mouth and to clarify, she said that they “were ‘providing’ parts from human beings before they are born.”

Taking that into consideration and reiterating that how can a “mass of cells” magically produce livers, hearts, lungs and so on, someone defend PP for me.

(SIDE BAR: Maybe you have seen the posting that said something to the effect that “PP kills 300,000 babies a year and sell parts from some of them and no one cares.  Some dentist kills a lion and the world goes crazy.”  Nothing against lions, but boy, are our priorities screwed up!)

My Friends and Fellow I||III||||II’s:

Hey, do you have one of those cars with a computer?   (Well, unfair questions, if your car is under about twenty-five years old.)

OK, then do you have GPS?

A cell phone?

Open emails that come from people, places or things that you do not know?

Y’ever answer the phone and there is no one there or, they hang up immediately (well, the auto-dialer does, once it records your number as a “live” number.)

And don’t tell me that you have one of those Apple Watch phones, or a FitBit or the like, do you?

There once was a statement what was 100% true: “If you don’t do anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about.”

Er, yeah, that was true when we KNEW what was right and wrong. I mean WE know what is right and wrong as filtered through our moral convictions, religious views and the like.

But now, that is no longer true to some, you thought crime criminals!

Some of you can prolly figure where this is going. (By all means, let me know as the Muse is not talking much these days.) But as I look around I see our freedoms eroding daily and they are being replaced by assaults on our sensibilities.

I said ages ago that we are living an Orwellian 1984. Many of you scoffed and laughed. Many were the same who took me to task for claiming that Biff was a socialist and others who mocked my references to my pretend reader, Lars, at the, er, er, um “Northumberland Salmon Authority”, nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

I have never professed to be the smartest tool in the book, or, even smart at all. I do take the time to take a look at what is going on with a wary eye. I have told you all to do this. Yet I get emails telling me I am all wrong, at first.

Well, I used to get more but I think by now all the Libs have either unsubscribed or simply ignore the fire alarms, so I am not castigated as much as before. You see, the Libs hate the truth and especially when you have the facts or data to prove them wrong.

After all, it is far, far easier to stick your fingers in your ears and make noises to block out those nasty old facts rather than saying: “Let me see if this guy is right” and showing some intellectual honesty.

Anywho…

In the process of applying for positions, I notice that many companies want you to apply via Facebook, or link them to your Facebook page for your “information.”

Why?

I mean, on most company’s websites, even though you download your resume, they still want you to enter the same information. Yet others, populate the application with the resume data and may ask for expiation on certain items. What more could Facebook possibly offer?

Well if you post pictures of kitties and puppies, or your kids and grandkids, or non-offensive “non-religious inspirational” sayings, well, you have nothing to worry about, and there is no information for these entities to garner.

But if you are like certain people and everyone that certain person knows, some Facebook pages might reveal the musings, posts, links, comments and so on that might be considered double-plus ungood by certain entities, the type that might cause the Human Resources manager to say: “Thanks for playing! Good day, sir. Good bye!”

Recall the story of the frog in the increasingly hot water and the one of the pigs taking the grain as the fence was built around them. Yet, far too many people are saying “Gee I love this warm water!” and “Wow! Free food!”

I find it “interesting” that there is all this talk of “privacy” by many people in gummint and the SRCFM. Of course, those are lies and canards.

I can see someone at home saying: “Hey, Madge, did you see the article where Senator Pantsonfire is going to introduce a ‘Privacy Act’ in Congress? That would be great.”

Yes! Indeed! Just like the “Twilight Zone” episode “How to Serve Man”, which was a cook book or Biff’s so-called “Affordable Care Act.”

Other than being an outright lie, such a bill would be a “just ignore the man behind the curtain” trick, except that we are all ignoring Toto.

When I listed those items above I did so to show that even without an RFID chip you have no privacy. (“No, really, it is fine, and besides, we already know everything about you and where you are. Hold still, you may feel a stick…”)

The computers in newer cars are not just controls for the car but have GPS capabilities and the capacity to act as a car’s “Black Box.” (Think of “Progressive Insurance” owned by that progressive. The “snap shot” device they offer under the guise of giving you lower rates is a recording of where you go, when you drive, did you speed or anything else that might be self-incriminating.)

Your cell phone has GPS and there are far too many apps that demand that you allow them 24/7 access to your phone, even if you are not using it. Recall, phones pick up your voice. They can do that even if not making a call. You do the math.

FitBit and even worse, the Apple Watch. Do you really want others to know when you get up, go to sleep, exercise, where you are, what your biometrics, pulse, blood pressure and so on are?

Can you see me? No, because I have a piece of tape over the camera on my computer. Which does not have to be on Skype or some other program to be active.

Do you have a cable box? Is it remote control? Did you know the remote eye can be purposed to remotely watch YOU.

You have no privacy, even in your own home, unless you live off the grid with a lead shield over your home to prevent ELINT and thermal radiation gathering.

But I am prolly not playing with a full deck. I mean, where do I come up with these things?

Again, right there in plain sight. (Always the best place to hide something.)

I read the disclaimers, the “Acceptance” info for an app and just about everywhere else that there is some kind of communication device in use. I mean, there are no such legal disclaimers on a toaster or lawnmower.

Yet one will sign a cable contract or iPhone app that says “Right-o old chum. We have the right to monitor your every move and we can advise the federales if we so wish. You may wish to be careful coming out of the shower or engaging in certain activities as we may make them available to others for a profit.”

Still, people will read the disclaimers and say “Oh, well, they are just protecting themselves. They would never do anything like that.” Silly me, of course they would not. Just ask the people in Germany, Russia, China and other places of seventy or eighty years ago.

What drives me completely up a wall is someone saying that our freedoms are safe and we have all kinds of privacy protections. Then on the news, there is an accident or a crime and that same person will say “How come they don’t have this on surveillance cameras? Where are the cameras?”

Yeah, sure, I get it.   Nothing says “privacy” like cameras covering every square inch of the country.

I tell you, do you want to know what would make me feel safe? A camera and microphone and a live 24/7/365 feed to C-SPAN channels 4 through 5000 with every member of Congress, the Cabinet and their staffs and the entire Wh’ite House (rezidents and workers) as stars of their own network.

Perhaps if all their works were on public display and scrutiny, we would not have the canards, machinations and outright lies.

Just sayin.’

Genesis 3:19 / John 3:16

My Friends and Fellow Flag Wavers:

Excuse me for thinking clearly, but when did the Civil War end?

Was it a week ago?  Two weeks?  A CENTURY AND A HALF? I dunno?

(And I know, I know, in some circles it is not called the “Civil War” but the “War of Southern Succession.”  And I know, the war “ain’t” over yet.  I know, I know…  And being a Southerner myself –  Brooklyn being about as far south as one can go in New York – I understand. And all y’all know that I have spent a good deal of time in the South.  But, that is not the point.)

As you know by now, there is no such of a thing as a “coincidence.”  Even if there are certain things which seem to have odd similarities or periods of occurrences, in this Maladministration the incidences of “coincidences” are so common, that there is little doubt that many are manufactured.

Then again, it could simply be that old Liberal saying: “Never let a crisis go to waste.”

A few weeks back, nine people were murdered in Church by some nut.  (God Rest their souls and if you have to die, what better place.)  It was determined that this kid considered himself a “White Supremacist.”  And what do all “White Supremacists” have? (Other than a broken mind like all supremacists.)

That’s right!  He had a “Confederate Flag”, aka “The Stars and Bars.”  (BTW, that is not the only, or “onlyest” Confederate Flag.)

Biff et al, seized this opportunity to link some dum-bass cracker (sorry, “Saltine-American”),  and his horrific and unforgivable act and the Confederate Flag.

He created a more damning, damaging and, as is his wont, divisive atmosphere.

For some reason, after pictures of this killer and his flag are circulated, all of a sudden there was a hue and cry to ban the rebel flag. (No need to get into the histrionics of the actions of many, particularly the Solons in the South Carolina legislature.)

First off, there is no way that I am excusing this killer for his actions.  Neither am I passing judgment on the flying of the flag in question.  But as the following was mentioned nowhere in the SRCFM anywhere or at any time, let’s offer a compare and contrast, shall we?

This deranged kid kills nine people.  His background life is sketchy. There is a pic or two of him with a rebel flag.  Within nanoseconds, there is a demand to banish the Stars and Bars.

Compare that to:

There is a deranged army major who kills even more than this dirtbag and wounds scores more.  His background is well known.  There is a trail of information suggesting his radicalization to Islam.  He screams “Allah Akbar” or whatever as he is shooting. But, sayeth Biffus Minimus, we “can’t rush to conclusions, we can’t say this is a terrorist attack.”

No, this was not a “terrorist attack” this was “workplace violence.”  For it to be a “terrorist attack” there must be a “terrorist” or someone who is radicalized and generally ascribe their actions to their god by yelling “Allah Akbar” or whatever as he commits his heinous deeds.

I am sure NOW you can see the difference between what Major Nidal did and a terrorist attack.

In fact, we were warned and warned again not to judge, not to say this was a terrorist attack, not to mention Nidal was Muslim, in fact we were not to mention anything with the hope it would simply go away.

But, the bodies of the murdered in Charleston  are still warm and here is Biff telling us to judge, to jump to conclusions, to make links to non-existent groups, to DIVIDE, to create animus, to further his goals.

(While I doubt there is any linkage between this act, Donald Trump, recent SCOTUS opinions and other things, I assure you Biff is looking at each and every one of them to see how it will further his agenda. I ASSURE you, we will visit all of these topics in upcoming issues, some of which are already marinating.)

Gov. Haley was in a not-so envious position of being forced to make a decision regarding the placement of the flag at the capitol.   But, be that as it may, she acted, hastily and with coercion, but she acted nonetheless.

But out of the dark corners, the puddles of mud, the sewers of political life, come the haters, the race-baiters, the poverty pimps the collective ticks on the backside of the alleged disenfranchised.  Yes, the alleged “Rev.” $harptons of the world.

All of a sudden, there were Confederate Flags everywhere!  This flag, invented a few weeks before the murders, were placed in every public building, two or more in buildings in the South, and all who owned one or expressed any non-negative opinions about it were obviously racist bigots who prolly still owned slaves like Ben Affleck did.

Except for one thing.  NONE of that is true.

Yes, same page, different book.  Substitute “rifle” for “flag” and you have the same kind of lies and misinformation used to defame gun owners.

There is no intelligent discussion here, there is no exchange of facts and opinions.  The 2^nd Amendment has been with us since the adoption of the Constitution, the Stars and Bars since the Civil War.  These are not new ideas or concepts.

(Of course SCOTUS has a funny way of reading things which are not there and their ignorance of the laws of unintended consequence.  I assure you, we will visit those aspects.)

To listen to Biff, $harpton and the rest of the racist clowns out there, you would think that “Yokel, Inc.” was started by some chinless inbred with a single digit IQ and THAT was how they came up with the rebel flag a few weeks ago.

I say, if they want to use “facts” to make their case (which they do not, but as they are close to some we must connect the dots for them), why can’t we.

I am sure we can all agree on a number of things, things which can be proven and the history of which has not yet been rewritten:

The Democrat Party was the party of slavery.

The Republican Party was formed to end slavery.

The Democrat Party fought against citizenship and voting rights of the freed slaves and their descendants.

The Republican Party fought for citizenship and voting rights of the freed slaves and their descendants.

The Democrat Party fought and voted against a number of civil rights acts for the blacks.

The Republican Party fought and voted for a number of civil rights acts for the blacks, especially the land mark Civil Rights Act of 1964 and again in 1968.

The Ku Klux Klan was a “fraternal group” of ex-Confederate soldiers.  They were almost exclusively Democrats. They hated Yankees, Blacks, Catholics, Jews and other friends of mine.

There is no such racist post-Civil War group of Republicans.

These KKK Democrats ADOPTED the Stars and Bars as their flag.

The Republicans seemed to be content with the Stars and Stripes.

The Democrats elected any number of Ku Klux Klan members to congress and one certain Democrat president nominated and had approved a Ku Klux Klan member to SCOTUS.

The Democrats include Biff, the Mooch, $harpton, Jack$on, Komrade De Blah Zero, Chuck Schemer, Nasty Pelosi, boxing dummy Dingy Harry, Lil Mr. Debbie Wassermanhyphenshultz, the entire cabinet, NAACP, NARAL, NORMAL, etc., etc.

The Republicans include Perry, Cruz, Rubio, West, Carson, Precious, you and other decent people.

Ironically (and the ironically named) “Southern Poverty Law Center” compiles a list of “hate groups.” You should take a look at which groups are on it.

Some that are on it:  American Family Association,  Family Research Council, Liberty Council  (do look up these three. The American Red Cross is more of hate group than they.  Why are they on the list? They are CHRISTian groups), virtually every “anti-immigrant” (as they call them, I prefer to be positive and call them “pro-LEGAL immigration” groups) Atlas Shrugs, 153 (yes, count them) White supremacist, skinhead, neo-Nazi, neo-Confederate and KKK related groups, some three-dozen anti-Muslim groups (I wonder why?), four-dozen anti-Gay groups (I wonder why?), for some reason a dozen and a half “radical traditional Catholic” groups (LIBS: Take a note, Jesus was a Radical) and seven, count them, as many as SEVEN “Black Separatist Groups” such as Nation of Islam and the Black Panther Party.  (Yet, so far no one is demanding that the Black Liberation Flag be banned.)

What is NOT on the list?

The Democrat National Committee, LaRaza, MeCHa and ANY illegal alien support group. (Yet, so far no one is demanding that the Mexican flag be banned.)  And many, many more.

If you look at the list of over one thousand  groups, the SLPC deems “hate groups” for some reason, the groups listed are believed to hate only gays (Yet, so far no one is demanding that the insulting rainbow flag be banned), Muslims, blacks and illegals.

There is no protection for Whites, Christians, Americans, tax-payers, veterans and others.

Back the point.

Any and every depiction of the flag in question must now be taken down from sight, taken of the shelves for sale and all TV shows (“Dukes of Hazard”, for one) that has a flag in a show must be taken off the air.

(POINT OF FACT: The REAL Confederate Flag sorta looked like the US Flag but the union was blue with seven stars in a circle within and three wide stripes, a pair of reds stripes with a white on in the center. The “Stars and Bars” was the Naval Jack and the Battle Flag.  If you want to blame the South for whatever, your beef is with their official flag and not the flags of those who fought under arms. As usual, the Left got it wrong.)

For the love of pete, if these racist zealots ever find out what the traditional national anthem of the Confederacy is , they will demand that “Dixie Cups” be taken off the market.

(Not so oddly enough and hark back to the laws of unintended consequences, where Wally World, Amazon and others have stopped selling anything “offensive” to appease the haters with no skin in the game, other companies have stepped up to fill those voids.  Such companies are typically gun shops, sporting goods stores, yes, even some truck stops and other places which are owned by good Right-leaning Americans.  The loss to Bezo’s and the Walton’s is small but the increase to the small business owner may be significant, enough, perhaps, to financially fund a campaign to oust a Liberal. Just sayin’.)

Enough on this.

But, you have homework, if you care enough about our Country which is being sucked in the vortex of the drain.  If someone says that the Stars and Bars should be banned tell them that you agree.  And ask them if they agree if the rainbow and black liberation (the black, red and green stripes, sometimes with a fist on it) should be banned.

If they disagree, do point out their hypocrisy.  Tell them those other two flags are hateful and divisive.

You may change someone’s mind or you may thin your Christmas card list.  Either way, that is a win.

My Friends and Fellow Hi-Info Voters:

(FYI, due to various and sundry situations the frequency of the FISH may be off schedule.  Not for any dearth of subject matter, quite the contrary as I have 3 others percolating as you read this.  I am not sure when regular issues will resume but will keep ya all advised.  Till then, enjoy this nugget…)

Recently I was asked as to who I thought the Republican Candidate might have the best chance of winning the change of address form to 1600 Penn Ave.

I gave it some deep thought.

Unlike the Left, the Reps have some very good candidates.  But even most of the “better” candidates have flaws, a fouled up philosophy or have an agenda which they wish to further.

Like all of the Left, there are also a few candidates that I would have to seriously consider a reason to vote for them.  Hark back to the RINO McLame.  I could not vote for him but I could vote for Sarah.

Then last time, you had the RINO Mitt and the other guy running with him (who might be running for the brass ring this time on his own) and I pulled the lever not so much for Mitt but in spite of him, as I could not in good conscience as a Christian and American vote for Biff, especially after his actions in the previous four years.

But that did not answer the question.

So, I got Old Testament in my reply.  I suggested that the Left and the SRCFM are quick to show their hand, such as when that half-pint fraternal punching bag, Dingy Harry, suggests this or that to the Republicans, that is what EXACTLY must not be done!

Watch the papers, the amount of news on the candidates.  See who gets treated “fairly”, a relative term for a Republican.  Look to see the placement on the pages of a paper (right side preferred, as that is the first side you see as you turn pages.)  Note how early in a news broadcast the story is aired, later in the broadcast or just after a commercial are bad spots. Someone the SRCFM is not worried about or sees as an easy target will be the lead.

(Remember what I have said hundreds of times.   Read between the lines and the words are only a small part of communication.  These placements are, quite frankly, more telling than any words because you know the SRCFM will lie about or misrepresent any Republican.)

With all these signs and wonders, from where I am sitting there is only one candidate than the SRCFM fear at the moment: The Donald.

Now, before you think I am endorsing him, I am not. I am not endorsing anyone at this stage but there are a few I have written off and a few I would prefer they stayed home.

(Seriously, every time I see his face on TV, I think in the lower left corner it should say “JEB.  W’s Other Brother.”   12 bonus points if you can cite the reference.)

It seems every day a new non-Democrat (they are not ALL Republicans now are they?) is dropping his hat in the ring, tweeting, stating that they are thinking about getting close to making a decision on and where they might declare and so on.

FIRST OFF:  I am a voter and if someone running for President wants my vote, I want to see him or her say it.  Not that I would give Jindal a second look but when he “tweeted” his intention to run, he may have garnered the five young Republicans that rely on social media, but he lost my vote and many more.

(In fact, I was so incensed at this tweet that I tweeted my intent to run and all that I needed was $3,000,000,000 to make that dream a reality.  So far we are roughly, lemme look…. hmm…. about $3,000,000,000 short!)

Next, when someone hems and haws and says they might declare at some time in the future, you lost my vote.  If you can’t make up your mind whether or not you want to run, stay off the air, out of the papers and away from the microphones until you grow a set and can make a decision.

If you CANNOT make a decision about running, sorry “W’s Other Bother”, I CANNOT trust you to make ANY decision.  You too Krispie Kreme.  (I think he is going on the campaign trail just for the buffets.) (And since I started writing this, he declared.  Yippee. Yawn.)

(OPEN BAR & BUFFET: The 6 PM news just announced the Christie threat to run.  At 6.01 PM.  The SRCFM is NOT the least bit worried by him.)

I know there are certain mechanical things which must be done, like filing and disclosures.  ALL the candidates have them. You are NOT getting a leg up on anyone by saying you are thinking about might wanting to do something.

Trump, on the other hand, abruptly announced that he was going to make an announcement.  FOX carried it live.  Just before he spoke there were two analysts, one from each side, and they agreed that Trump was not doing to declare but maybe “hint” that he might do something sooner or not.

Well, well, well, whooo doggie!  Look how wrong you can be.

Apparently his “event” was thrown together at the last minute.  He used the atrium of one of his buildings in NY, had his new wife do the intro and the foyer was full of people.  Apparently many of these people were all but dragged off of the street to attend.  THAT is why you did not hear the rehearsed cadence heard at all Party Rallies/Putsches. (“Party” here is referring to the Communist Party of old, but equally accurate for the Dems/Libs/Socialists/Progressives in most every case.)

(POINT OF ORDER:  Do note that, sadly, Republicans refer to themselves as “Republicans.” It is up to the more sagacious of you to call them what they are:  RINOs, Tea Partiers, Conservatives or just plain Republicans.  For some reason with the party opposite it is almost like a badge of honor to be anything BUT a Democrat.  Perhaps that is because so many RINOs are acting like Democrats, like those two blubbering idiots who run the shop: Sen. Earl McCornbread and Rep. Smoking Johnny, quislings both.  Anywho, one Dem is a “Liberal”, the next is “Progressives”, the honest ones are “Socialists” and they are closest to the truth as they all aspire to the gummint running the entire show, or as Komrade Lenin might suggest, they are Communists.)

Back to the 856 guys running for the Republican nomination.  Seriously guys, if you are polling less than 10%, GO HOME.  Stop it, you are an embarrassment.  And it is worse when a candidate’s favorability goes down AFTER he announces.  (Krispie, you listening?)

Again, with all due seriousness and respect due, there should be no more than five or six of you actually trying to make a race of it, and quite frankly that is about half-again more than the reasonably qualified candidates than the Republicans have.

Put your ego on the shelf where it belongs, sit down, invite your supporters to back your choice of the candidates remaining and bust your ass to get that person elected.  Otherwise you are just muddying the pool and giving the enemy ammunition that they WILL use, they WILL use YOU words to harm a REAL candidate.

On the Dem side, it is getting interesting.  The all-but anointed and indicted Hilderbeast has slipped from the only game in town to one of two old, washed up, scary socialists running.  And Scary Sanders is catching up to the Pants-Suited one. In fact while she does have the lead for now for the nod, Sanders has far higher favorability ratings than does the Hilderbeast.

Then again, so do some of your more popular STDs.

And in the interest to attract not just the low-information voters, here may soon come our own loveable VEEP, Joey McMensa, courting the low-IQ vote.  (Too bad they had him fitted with a muzzle and a short leash.  He is just a riot when he is away from his handlers.)

Anywho, still plenty of time before the dust settles but unless the wanna-be’s get out of the way, it may be a while before we have a clear front-runner who can beat whatever the Left props up.  That is going to be the person who saves this Country.

Another socialist like Biff and we are doomed!  In that respect the clock is ticking.

Recall what I wrote three years and seven years back.  Recall how I warned that as bad as McLame was, he was tempered by Sarah and in any event, while no bargain was prolly better than Biff.

And Biff won.

And Biff made a billion promises and kept up to exactly one.

“To fundamentally change the United States.” (sic)

And four years later, we had a potentially slightly better choice in Mitt.  And he looked like a winner at first.  He pantsed Biff in the first debate.  Then whoever had whatever on Romney got to him and in the second debate he did all but just bend over.  (And I am not wearing a tin-foil pyramid hat.  There is no way Romney goes from Gigantor destroying the gimp to some milquetoast little girl thanking Biff for not scolding him without someone like, say, an emissary of D. Rockefeller producing something like Mitt with three hookers, two small boys, a goat smoking opium in a “No Standing Zone” at the airport.  You know what I mean.)

(For that matter, nine years ago when Nasty Pelosi ascended to the Speaker of the House.  Recall how I wrote that her lies of being “bi-partisan” were a ruse and she had no intention of reaching across the aisle.  Recall the very first time she had an opportunity to be “bi-partisan” and she was before she wasn’t – you know how the Left roll, they want it both ways.)

So I warned that if the White Hats did not prevail we were running out of time, Biff had to be stopped.  I wrote that  irrespective of how ineffective and feckless  Mitt might be, at least it would slow down the Juggernaut and maybe give us some time to undo what Biff hath wrought upon us.

Did anyone listen?

Exhibit “A”, Second term of Biff.

I warned that IF we did not win in 2012 and the Black Hats won in 2016, it was all over.

Now, tell me, HOW much time do we have?
