Movie Review: Bohemian Rhapsody
Post Date: 2018-11-02 07:32:26 by Deckard

Bohemian Rhapsody—a movie that recounts the life of the late Queen singer Freddie Mercury, who's played by Rami Malek—is pretty wonderful in several ways, but it's also a museum of ancient biopic clichés. For example, in an early scene we see the young Freddie-to-be, an immigrant kid from Zanzibar named Farrokh Bulsara, at his parents' London home, where he lives. You've met these parents before. Dad (Ace Bhatti) is an old-world kind of guy who disapproves of this rock & roll music his son is so into, and the late-night life it engenders. However, Freddie's mom (Meneka Das) is an optimist. When her young nightcrawler says he's going "out ...

How Stupidity Is Manufactured

Yes, manufactured. It’s done all day, every day, and especially in the most advanced parts of the world. And I can prove it to you. Please look at this diagram and tell me which of the lines on the right side, A, B, or C, is the same length as the line on the left. That isn’t too hard, is it? A is obviously shorter and B is obviously longer. The answer is C. This diagram was part of an experiment run back in 1951 by a psychologist named Solomon Asch. And as you might expect, when people were asked to identify the same-length line in a neutral setting, more than 99% did it correctly. But then, Asch had the study participants surrounded by actors who maintained that either A or B ...

Yesterday, I had an encounter with an armed government worker on a motorcycle, running a speed trap. And running laser, which is kryptonite to even the best radar detector because you get no warning. If the detector detects laser, you are already detected. Which is just what happened to me. Bingo! You “win.” I was on my way to the coffee shop where I go to work almost every day – in part to get my divorced/recluse-inclined self out of the house – and in part because I’m better able to work in that environment, where cats aren’t crawling all over me, importuning me scratch their backs or give them something to eat… times five of them. I love them, but ...
Maybe It’s Time To Stop Trying To Get Along

There was a time when Americans from both political parties managed to get along. I know that seems crazy, like some sort of fever dream, but it’s true. More than that, on some occasions, politicians came together as one and stood up for our country. Now we don’t even speak the same language anymore. The night of September 11, 2001, on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, the Members of Congress who were in DC gathered together with one purpose, to show the world we would not cower in the face of those horrible attacks. Spontaneously, those Democrats and Republicans sang “God Bless America,” with the lack of self-consciousness we have when we sing in the shower, and pride ...

“The poor and the underclass are growing. Racial justice and human rights are nonexistent. They have created a repressive society and we are their unwitting accomplices. Their intention to rule rests with the annihilation of consciousness. We have been lulled into a trance. They have made us indifferent to ourselves, to others. We are focused only on our own gain.”—They Live, John Carpenter We’re living in two worlds, you and I. There’s the world we see (or are made to see) and then there’s the one we sense (and occasionally catch a glimpse of), the latter of which is a far cry from the propaganda-driven reality manufactured by the government and its ...

American Nationals have had to endure the circus barking from Trump now for years, but we still are being inundated with illegal aliens, draining our natural resources, our jobs, resources that should be used for our own people, not some 300 pound pregnant WET BACK who never had any intention of respecting American ideals, heritage or for that matter, anything we have built to make our country great. It seems that Trump is a joke, always has been, always will be. This ass hat is a billionaire; he doesn’t give a damn about us, only himself. The office of the President is now an illegal alien clearing house, millions have entered our country over the years, so much so that we have ...

17,000+ employees that live,work,marry,give birth,and die right there. They all walk to work,so there is no need for any of them to have cars or any other form of transportation,although the shift bosses in the factory ride around on bicycles to keep the production going smoothly. They all live in company apartments,shop in company stores,and wear company uniforms. Their children go to company schools,and when they are sick,they go to company doctors. The eat every meal at a discounted company restaurant with a production line format every day with meals costing approximately 50 cents each,and they even have Halal Food for Muslim workers.

Rockin’ the Right

The 50 greatest conservative rock songs. On first glance, rock ’n’ roll music isn’t very conservative. It doesn’t fare much better on second or third glance (or listen), either. Neil Young has a new song called “Let’s Impeach the President.” Last year, the Rolling Stones made news with “Sweet Neo Con,” another anti-Bush ditty. For conservatives who enjoy rock, it isn’t hard to agree with the opinion Johnny Cash expressed in “The One on the Right Is on the Left”: “Don’t go mixin’ politics with the folk songs of our land / Just work on harmony and diction / Play your banjo well / And if you have political ...

“If the freedom of speech be taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”—George Washington Living in a representative republic means that each person has the right to take a stand for what they think is right, whether that means marching outside the halls of government, wearing clothing with provocative statements, or simply holding up a sign. That’s what the First Amendment is supposed to be about. Yet through a series of carefully crafted legislative steps and politically expedient court rulings, government officials have managed to disembowel this fundamental freedom, rendering it with little more meaning than ...

5 Possible Reasons Incivility and Outrage Are on the Rise

How did we arrive at a point in our history where gangs of hecklers chase politicians from restaurants, where Senate hearings have lost all decorum, and where family members and friends part ways over politics? Every day brings new examples of incivility and violence. In the last twenty-four hours, I have casually browsed several sites online. Here was a professor advocating castration for white Republicans; celebrities mocking a black singer for praising the president; strangers leaving death threats on the phones of politicians, judges, and their families; anonymous callers phoning in false accusations of rape; some wicked soul mailing the poison ricin to a Republican senator and to ...

We are experiencing an ever-increasing level of surveillance over the citizenry, government censorship and closed-door policies, control and manipulation of the media, and a “hardline” shift of all institutions to the left. The institutions I’m referring to specifically are the educational system (better termed a system of indoctrination), the courts, the religious institutions…every one of them are all “leaning” toward (if not striving toward) full blown socialism. Let us recall a key quote: “The goal of Socialism is Communism.” – Lenin Just as recently as Tuesday, 10/2/18, we have this stunning announcement as quoted by the ...
The 10 Most Destructive Americans of My 8 Decades

America has undergone enormous change during the nearly eight decades of my life. Today, America is a bitterly divided, poorly educated and morally fragile society with so-called mainstream politicians pushing cynical identity politics, socialism and open borders. The president of the United States is threatened with impeachment because the other side doesn’t like him. The once reasonably unbiased American media has evolved into a hysterical left wing mob. How could the stable and reasonably cohesive America of the 1950s have reached this point in just one lifetime? Who are the main culprits? Here’s my list of the 10 most destructive Americans of the last 80 years. 10) Mark ...

Blasey Ford’s Camp Tampered with Witnesses! Rush Limbaugh Oct 5, 2018 RUSH: There’s a really important story out there that is not being covered. It’s not being covered on even Fox News or Fox Business News. It is a story of massive witness tampering. It is a story about a witness, Leland Keyser, one of the reportedly best friends of Dr. Blasey Ford. Leland Keyser says that she was bullied by another friend of Ford’s and a former FBI agent herself, Monica McLean. She was bullied. She was told, she was asked to change her story and say that she was in the room with Blasey Ford when Kavanaugh… Well, she was at the event when Kavanaugh supposedly did the dirty ...

The repeated unsuccessful attempts to find satisfaction through devouring life, not only orally, but in general, can develop to a level called Oral Rage. The condition is like much like Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones used to complain of in his songs: “I can’t get no satisfaction.” The concept of oral rage may be a little imprecise for suitable understanding at advanced levels, but it is occasionally useful and interesting. - snip - Paradoxically, many of the most socially and economically successful people are the most bitter and tormented. Many of them express their bitterness in a diffuse attack upon the American social and economic system to the point of virtually ...

The Constitutional Reasons to Oppose Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court
Post Date: 2018-10-04 07:40:54 by Deckard
29 Comments
This is not the constitutionalist you're looking for. After two days of political theater, the Senate Judiciary Committee agreed to delay the vote to confirm Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court for a week. In that time, the FBI will conduct an investigation surrounding the allegations made against him by Christine Blasey Ford. And the real losers, unfortunately, are the American people, who are being diligently distracted from Kavanaugh’s actual policy record. By now, no one is a stranger to the claims of sexual assault that have been levied against Judge Kavanaugh. In fact, the entire country has been so wrapped up in this case, it is hard to determine what is fact and what ...

This week we witnessed the horrible spectacle of Nikki Haley, President Trump’s Ambassador to the United Nations, joining a protest outside the UN building and calling for the people of Venezuela to overthrow their government.“We are going to fight for Venezuela,” she shouted through a megaphone, “we are going to continue doing it until Maduro is gone.”This is the neocon mindset: that somehow the US has the authority to tell the rest of the world how to live and who may hold political power regardless of elections.After more than a year of Washington being crippled by evidence-free claims that the Russians have influenced our elections, we have a senior US ...

September 29, 2018 This was hell week in New York City. Traffic was paralyzed from one end of the narrow island to the other as bigwigs and their entourages flocked to the city for the fall opening of the United Nations. Making matters worse, President Donald Trump chose the occasion to lambaste nations he does not like in a crude display of boorishness not seen since Soviet boss Nikita Khrushchev banged his shoe on his desk at the General Assembly back in 1960. Trump reserved special venom for his pet bêtes noirs, Iran and China. His jeremiad against Iran was reportedly written by senior aide Stephen Miller, a rabidly anti-Muslim extremist who speaks with the voice of Israel’s ...

The fiction of memory: Elizabeth Loftus at TED Global 2013 Posted by: Kate Torgovnick May June 11, 2013 at 7:40 pm EDT Elizabeth Loftus begins her talk at TEDGlobal 2013 with the tragic story of Steve Titus, who was arrested in 1980 because he sort of matched the physical description of, and drove a similar car to, a man who had raped a woman in his area. Looking at a photo lineup, the victim told police that Titus looked “the closest” to the man who had raped her. But by the time the trial began, the victim had become certain that Titus was the attacker. Memory scholar Elizabeth Loftus worked on this case, and became fascinated by the question: How did the victim’s ...

When will socialists admit they’ve won? To hear them tell it, Americans are not only capitalists to rival John Galt but actually expect folks to earn what they consume. Balderdash. That isn’t the country we know nor ever did. After all, didn’t our great-grandparents put the “Social” in “Social Security”? And Obummercare only completed the nationalization of medical insurance that Medicare and ‘caid began. The panoply of Marxist schemes destroying us—public indoctrina-sorry, education; progressive taxation; the minimum wage, etc.—enjoy such notoriety I need not delineate them. In short, America has degenerated beyond socialism to outright ...
MSM Using Kavanaugh Sex Scandal to Distract You From Real Reason He Shouldn’t Be Appointed

In July, President Donald Trump nominated D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Since then, there have been numerous allegations of sexual misconduct levied toward the Justice to be. Whether or not he is guilty of these allegations is left to be determined. However it does serve as a great distraction from his actual constitution-hating and tyrannical tendencies. While Kavanaugh may be an ostensible supporter of the Second Amendment, his record indicates that he all but cannot stand the Fourth and he’s not that big a fan of the First either. While the allegations against Kavanaugh should certainly be investigated — no matter how they are ...

If you try to arrange things such that the political parasites can’t stick their noses into your business, they call it “money laundering.” Even if you’re not doing anything immoral or illegal, they will still demand the ability to track and snoop on whatever you do, while saying it’s to fight “money laundering” and terrorism. Meanwhile, the Pentagon “lost” trillions of dollars. Your dollars. They stole it from you, then made it disappear, and say they “lost” it. You don’t ever get to know where it went. But I’m sure the CIA and other warmonger agencies would never do anything nasty or criminal with it, right? Just one ...
