At the declaration by Donald Trump that he is a candidate for the presidential nomination of the Republican Party, media elites of left and right reacted with amusement, anger and disgust.
Though he has been a hugely successful builder-businessman, far more successful than, say, Carly Fiorina, who has been received respectfully, our resident elites resolutely refuse to take Trump seriously.
They should. Not because he will be nominated, but because the Trump constituency will represent a vote of no confidence in the Beltway ruling class of politicians and press.
Votes for Trump will be votes to repudiate that class, whole and entire, and dump it onto the ash heap of ...

A Scathing Indictment of the Wounded Warrior Project

Over on the porch. Well worth the read. I haven’t liked that organization for quite some time, mostly because of the way they portray wounded Veterans as being objects of pity. Salamander puts it better than I have been able to. an organization that uses the same visuals, tone and background music for those who fight our wars, that are are also used for starving African children … and at the same time squash local organizations using a huge legal budget. Touché. Here is some perspective, without minimizing the sacrifice. The total US combat wounded in 13 years in Iraq and Afghanistan numbers around 52,000, with the vast majority being minor wounds ...
Black Dads Doing Best of All

One of the most persistent statistical bludgeons of people who want to blame black people for any injustice or inequity they encounter is this: According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2013 in nearly 72 percent of births to non-Hispanic black women, the mothers were unmarried. It has always seemed to me that embedded in the “If only black men would marry the women they have babies with . . .” rhetoric was a more insidious suggestion: that there is something fundamental, and intrinsic about black men that is flawed, that black fathers are pathologically prone to desertion of their offspring and therefore largely responsible for black community ...
The Two Boots of Authoritarianism

The Two Boots of Authoritarianism By Gary Lloyd "When the government’s boot is on your throat, whether it is a left boot or a right boot is of no consequence."I Mainstream political pundits waste endless amounts of time and effort condemning, criticizing, and categorizing one political movement or another as right-wing or left-wing. The merits (or otherwise) of one "wing" over another are a point of never-ending obsession with reporters, academics, and similar self-proclaimed experts. Supposedly, right-wingers are "for" the elitists and trend toward fascism: top- down control over an oppressed and helpless common people who are prevented from ...

In George Orwell’s masterpiece, “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” he writes: In the end the Party would announce that two and two made five, and you would have to believe it. It was inevitable that they should make that claim sooner or later: the logic of their position demanded it. Not merely the validity of experience, but the very existence of external reality, was tacitly denied by their philosophy. The heresy of heresies was common sense. And what was terrifying was not that they would kill you for thinking otherwise, but that they might be right. For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If ...

Just watched Bernie Sanders on Meet the Press this morning,and if anything Bubbette! is going to have to "run right" to compete with him. In FACT,most of what he said was to the right of the majority of the alleged Republican candidates. He was all about bringing jobs and manufacturing back to the US,shutting down trade deals with China,ending 3rd world immigration,etc,etc,etc. Based entirely on what he said on teebee this morning,*I* am more likely to vote for him than any of the alleged Republican front runners. I would say "I would damn sure vote for him before I would vote for JEB",but the truth is I would vote for Satan before I will ever again vote for anyone ...
Obama Shocked By Disastrous Economic News…Blames Man Made Global Cooling

The White House is in a state of shock today after receiving word that the US is halfway to a new recession. They were so dazed, they actually blamed Man Made Global Cooling. The GDP for the first quarter was originally announced as a gain of .2%. Today that number was revised to a drop of .7%. The definition of a recession is when the GDP comes in at a negative number for two quarters in a row. That means we are officially halfway to a new recession. The delicious irony is that after Obama decided to honor our troops by having his picture taken eating ice cream and declaring that global warming is a bigger danger to the US than ISIS, he blamed the bad numbers on extremely cold and snowy ...
The Dull Thud of a New Yorker Towel Snap

The New Yorker cover has attracted a lot of comment. It shows Hillary Rodham Clinton outside the locker room trying to get in. But the locker room is full of white Republican males - Walker, Paul, Bush, Cruz, Rubio... Okay, the last couple are Hispanic, but let's not get hung up on details. And Bush identifies as Hispanic on voter registration forms, but let's not get hung up on the paperwork... But, in fact, the GOP has already let a female into the locker room - Carly Fiorina - plus a black guy - Ben Carson - and an Indian - Bobby Jindal. So nothing celebrates diversity like the locker room for the Republican primary debate: whites, blacks, browns, Hispanics, men, women, old, ...
Prohibition II - a.k.a. "The War on Drugs"

Prohibition, The War on Drugs -- Call it whatever you like. Both terms may be used interchangeably. Yet for some reason, most Americans fail to see the correlation. To most, the term prohibition refers only to the prohibition of alcohol back in the 1920s. Many see prohibition as a noble, yet failed experiment. Yet, these same people see the War on Drugs as something completely different. It isn't prohibition at all. "Of course drugs are illegal ... They have always been illegal, haven't they? ... Wasn't it one of the Ten Commandments?.. Thou shall not lie, steal, kill, or worship at the golden bong." Somehow, the idea that drugs have always been illegal has ...

Amazing, really.Police throughout the nation say they fear a growing anti-cop sentiment driven by a handful of racially-charged incidents is making their jobs more dangerous on the streets, where the number of officers killed in the line of duty is rising sharply.High-profile cases involving police and black suspects from Missouri to Baltimore have prompted intense criticism of law enforcement, from not only activists but the media and even the White House, leaving law enforcement officers alienated and angry, say cop advocates. And the protests, rioting and federal investigations come even as the job of keeping Americans safe has become more dangerous.So let me see if I get this ...
‘I knew they were here,’ West Texas sheriff says of ISIS

Midland sheriff doesn’t think U.S. is serious about securing border Midland County Sheriff Gary Painter became somewhat of a sensation last year after appearing on national television outlets such as Fox News and CNN warning of an ISIS presence in Texas. It would be naïve to assume that they are not here, Painter told a CNN news anchor in an interview. He used the cable news soapbox to send a firm message to the terrorist group, saying, "If they rear their ugly head, we'll send them to hell." The "ugly head" has reared, according to CNN reports. Days after two gunmen were shot by law enforcement outside an anti-Islam Prophet Mohammed cartoon contest in ...
With his #WH2016 bid, here's how Ben Carson can destroy his real legacy

Over decades of a brilliant career as a brain surgeon, Dr. Ben Carson attracted legions of admirers -- black, white and brown; liberal, moderate and conservative; fundamentalist Christian and agnostic. His story is the stuff of legend, the awe-inspiring tale of a poor black boy in Detroit who overcame daunting obstacles and vaulted to the very top of his profession. Given that his profession was pediatric neurosurgery, black Americans were particularly proud. Carson, who was the first surgeon to successfully separate conjoined twins attached at the head, stood as stark repudiation of invidious stereotypes about black intellectual capacity. His memoir, "Gifted Hands," has been ...
Libertarians Should Hope for Clinton Versus Bush in 2016

The more I think about the coming presidential election—it’s not unreasonable to ask why I think about it at all—the more I am convinced that the best contest for libertarians would be Hillary Clinton versus Jeb Bush. Why? Because all we libertarians would need to do is point to the ballot and ask, "Here’s our argument against politics. Need we add anything?" DonkeyHotey/Flickr What could better illustrate the bankruptcy of the political system than that race? What better way could there be for us to capitalize on the presumed disillusionment, especially among young people, with the Obama years? You wanted hope and change? Here’s what it got you. The ...

Rush: Should the Left Stop Advocating Same-Sex Marriage to Avoid Provoking Islamists?

Talk radio host Rush Limbaugh asked if the same media criticizing the Mohammed Art Exhibit would stop advocating gay marriage because that could also be provocative to radical Islamists on Wednesday. Rush said, “the militant Islamists command us not to draw cartoons or any other kind of picture of the prophet Mohammed, and our Drive-By Media and Democrat Party readily agree, ‘Ain’t no way that should happen! It offends them, and we shouldn’t do it. And when anybody does, and they get shot at, it’s their fault.’ To which I ask, ‘Well, now, wait a minute. The same militant Islamists who do not permit the drawing of pictures of the prophet Mohammed also do ...
Pam Geller's "Draw the Prophet Mo" event : Unnecessary provocation OR are hypocrites of select intolerance and outrage exposed?
Post Date: 2015-05-06 10:58:18 by Liberator

Pamela Geller's "Draw the Prophet" event in Garland Texas has drawn quite a spectrum of opinion in the media. Especially once two local Islamic terrorists who planned a massacre at the scene were dispatched to their 72 virgins ASAP by vigilant LE. In its aftermath, editorial opinion of much of the Mainstream Media considers Geller and her group's cartoon "challenge" may be creating "more dead Americans" for being too "provocative." Was it "too provocative"? Will it kill Americans IN America? Threats have already been issued by domestic ISIS cells here in the heartland. Would any of you like to weigh in on the pro and con?

"Draw Mohammad" contest sponsored by neocon network propagandizing for war The group responsible for the Draw Muhammad event in Garland, Texas is part of a larger network of neocon organizations working behind the scenes to stoke tension between Muslims, Christians and Jews. Daniel Pipes’ Middle East Forum (MEF) funds David Horowitz’s Freedom Center which in turn funds Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer’s American Freedom Defense Initiative. MEF is closely linked to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy (WINEP), where Pipes was an adjunct scholar. WINEP is a spin-off the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, one of the more influential advocacy groups in ...

This map of Google searches will tell you If you live in the rural Northeast or the South, the chances are good that you live in one of the most racist places in America, according to a new report that analyzed Google search data to find the most racist communities in America. The report published on PLOS One comes from data scientist Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, who, as The Washington Post reports, used a similar method to measure the impact of racism on President Barack Obama's electoral fortunes. "Google data, evidence suggests, are unlikely to suffer from major social censoring," Stephens-Davidowitz wrote in a previous paper, The Post reported. ...

Hillary Blames The Cops For Black “Incarceration And Premature Death”–I. E. Black Crime

Had Freddie Gray been robbed, beaten and left to die in the streets of his Baltimore neighborhood, no one would be mourning him today. No one would be marching for Freddie. No one would be using Freddie as the new poster child of “Black Lives Matter!” No one would care, three weeks later, but his family and friends. It was the manner of his death, suffering a fractured spine in police custody, that makes Freddie matter. For he can now be credibly cast in the victim’s role in the great new narrative against America–that ours is a society of unequal justice where racist cops routinely brutalize black men and boys and are rarely called to account. In this narrative, the ...
The Baltimore riots within the context of White Privilege

Numerous studies have proven that, in America today, white people are more privileged than black people. We are not dealing with overt racism, but with a subtle form of prejudice that most people do not even know they are guilty of. White privilege gives some the benefit of the doubt White people nearly always get the benefit of the doubt, but black people rarely ever do. White people are considered hard working until they prove themselves to be lazy, but black people are considered lazy until they prove to be hard working. White people are considered safe until they prove themselves to be dangerous, but black people are considered dangerous until they prove themselves to be safe. White ...
