Stair Master

In what could become THE iconic picture of this election, another straw was added to the camel's back with the revelation of Clintoon's stair clamber. Basically, it was a shot taken back in February or March 2016 (property of Reuters) showing the wretched woman attempting to negotiate a mild set of stairs, apparently unable to do so without help from her aides. Below, some person offered his own version replete with photo-shopped sign out in front of the house. (Pretty witty!)

But there's more than this picture. I thought I had run this before, but apparently not. In what must be the most chilling summary of all of her physical manifestations, Paul Joseph Watson adds this compendium of the truly frightening:

I got to thinking, after watching this, how on earth could anyone seriously consider a person so beset with symptoms like these reasonably assume that the candidate was ready for the most arduous responsibility in the world.

Then Jim Hoft over at Gateway Pundit chimes in with this with respect to a black man who is always at her side:

The man is dressed like a secret service agent but his actions prove otherwise. In a recent campaign stop in a Union Hall in front of a sparse crowd, at about the time when some liberal protesters began to protest, Hillary Clinton suddenly froze. She looked dazed and lost. Seeing this, a group of men rushed to assist the candidate on the stage. One man however gently pats the candidate’s back and then says, “Keep Talking.”

An expert on Secret Service tactics told TGP Secret Service agents would not touch a candidate in the manner that this individual did and especially Hillary Clinton. It has been widely reported on Hillary’s disdain for the agents who work to protect her. The man who touches Hillary may be a member of Hillary’s close staff – but he is NOT a Secret Service agent.

If you look at the stairs picture you will see him there and he is the one who comes over to talk to Clintoon when she has her petit mol seizure over the animal rights demonstrators. Look at the video above where he comes over and does exactly what Hoft's expert said agents do not do - touch the subject - and then he coaches he back into reality by instructing her to keep talking. While he does so, watch her expressions and notice her lib-smacking..

..this whole thing is getting supremely creepy.

Please someone shut this Motherfucker up!

Somewhere, there's a sock big enough to stuff in this asshole's mouth and cease him from uttering the unending diarrhea that emanates from his pie hole.

..also, tell this dirt bag that, if ANY of Team USA makes it back from the Rio Olympic Shit Show vertically, they will be given a gold medal in survivor skills.

Lawn Jockey POTUS does Fawltey Towers' Manuel Imitation

Incredible! The SCOAMF refuses to sundown the U. S. efforts on turning every R. O. P. Goat Humper into a glowing piece of sponge cake:

Well, fuck him and the ass he rode in on. Also, fuck me if this doesn;t sound like Manuel in one of the episodes of Fawlty Towers:

..party on, Wayne!

What's going on..

Jeeeeee-zus! It's incredible the spin the media is putting on Clintoon versus Trump! These people, the GOPe scum and the Demtards AND the media are spinning the anti-Kahn stuff (going on five days now) and the "Trump campaign is imploding" messages so much, it seems like The famous scene form Beetlejuice:

Firstly, get a grip! Trump did rallies in Jacksonville and Daytona and they were sold out

..Clintoon had a rally in Omaha (where she said she would raise taxes on the middle class) and the turnout was "several thousands".

So, here's more sad reality for the bubble-assed skank and it surely hurts:

And on a final note, it seems that the critics ("helpful and otherwise") are really getting animated. How many saw Karl "Turd Blossom" Rove on O'Reilly last night? Listening to his response to an O'Reilly question, I became aware that the man was clearly unhinged. It was not his usual, slow-paced delivery with that stupid-assed white board but rather a staccato series of fulminations replete with slobbering, stuttering, and animated gesticulations. At several points, he interrupted O'Reilly in an effort to push his "trump is imploding" message. When O'Reilly finally shooed him off the segment, Rove was attempting to jabber more of his points as the camera faded to a laxative commercial.

Were he an acquaintance of mine, I'd be seriously concerned thinking he's flipped out.

Then I pulled the camera back and realized that a lot of the media types (including the on on CNN who called him a dickhead) are truly unhinged BECAUSE THEY HAVE COME TO THE REALIZATION THAT HE HAS A CHANCE TO WIN. And consider The Lawn Jockey POTUS's announcement one day that he thought Trump could win only to be followed by his imploring Ryan and the other GOPe scum to disavow him.

Here's O'Reilly interviewing Turd Blossom (you'll have to fast forward):

..party on, Wayne.

1776..2016?

Insisting on Perfection

Below is a 45-minute video describing the phenomenon I like to refer to as Trump One -- Trump's Boeing 757 private jet. It is luxurious, flamboyant, and glorious. But more than that it is about a man and his employees who share his dream of doing a job and doing it well. I invite you to spend the time to watch.

It is easy to assail Mr Trump for this extravagance and easy to call him a tyrant for being so demanding on his pilot and immediate his staff, and the other people whom he employees or buys goods and services. But, it's his money, his business, and he has worked very hard to get it. He can spend it as he wishes and he can insist on his employees doing what he asks. He can insist on those providing him goods and services that they be to his exacting specifications.

Otherwise, they the employees can go elsewhere or the vendors can seek other, less particular customers.

Perhaps the most striking aspect of this video is how the pilot willingly accommodates Donald Trump's impossible demands and his seemingly whimsical schedule changes or flight requests and does so with a true spirit of professionalism. For example, I fly as aircrew with the Air Force Auxiliary and we are called upon to do 90% of the USAF's search missions. (We work cheap and are more effective because that is our training and proclivity.) We also have other state and federal agencies we fly missions for. With each mission, we must prepare our small, single-engine aircraft by ensuring its airworthiness, filing a flight plan, and the usual stuff. But it is not trivial. The scale-up on Trump's 757 is enormous with respect to logistics, FAA requirements, etc. To see this experienced pilot manage all of these things so flawlessly is truly awe-inspiring. The coordination with Trump's staff is astounding!

And, that he smiles through all of this is incredible and certainly praiseworthy.

But if you step back and take a moment to understand his motivation, there's a lot more than money and prestige at work here. Like all pilots, he loves to fly airplanes. As he admits in the video, he is a neat freak. These combine, in my mind, to indicate that he would would love to have a magnificently immaculate aircraft all of his own and would be relentless in caring for same.

But, as Trump's pilot, he gets to pilot this state of the art aircraft and see to it that it is always in tip-top shape. (It is instructive that he was busy with a toothbrush and cleanser helping out with the last-minute touch-up moments before take-off.) All this PLUS he gets a handsome salary to boot.

But this is NOT the real takeaway here. It's that this jet is not just some figment of Trump's egomania. It is an extension of his business. He does multi-million dollar deals in the jet and, if the jet was not impressive and well-maintained, what impression might that impart on those Trump is dealing with?

What I took from this is that this insistence on perfection and attention to detail is sure something we could use in the White House -- compared to that Lawn Jockey POTUS pretender or the bubble-assed Bitch of Benghazi who both ooze slime and have no idea how business is to be conducted.

It would be a refreshing change to get a government that works again as it should.

Reuters' Three-Card Monty (again)..

(Courtesy of Breitbart)

Apparently, Pat Caddell had a few well-chosen words about the Three-Card Monty that Reuters pulled last week. Caddell, pollster and former Jimmy Carter operative, was absolutely livid about the shenanigans:

“They not only changed their formula, to put Hillary ahead. They went back and changed the results, for a week of results where Trump was ahead, and then they turned those into Hillary leads,” said Caddell. “They also erased all the former polling off the site. They didn’t tweak their procedure – they cooked it.”

“Never in my life have I seen a news organization, and a supposedly reputable poll, do something so dishonest,” Caddell continued. “What they have done is, they decided the people who said, ‘oh, I’m never for someone’ – oh, those must be Hillary votes. They used to be Trump voters.”

“They made a switch, as much as nine points, in their results from the beginning of last week, the 25th and 26th. It is, beyond doubt, the most outrageous thing,” he declared, noting that results in three- and four-way polls that include independent candidates Gary Johnson and Jill Stein were also skewed.

“This is what the media is willing to do, to try to elect her,” Caddell said. “This poll is nothing but a part of a media offensive. In the 45 years since I was a child, in top-level presidential campaigns, I have never seen the media on such a jihad, and so involved in hiding facts, and not following up. This is a crisis of democracy, what the press is now doing.”

..also Pat had this comment on Clintoon's big interview with all-star slow-pitch softballer, Chris Wallace, who lobbed questions up to the plate and gummed her to death in her interview this past Sunday. (She had her butt kissed so badly, that she had to cut her "bus tour" short and soak that expansive derriere in an ice tub or something.)

He noted that Hillary Clinton made “big news” on Fox News Sunday when she claimed the FBI found her responses to questions about her secret email server to be honest and consistent, when in fact FBI Director James Comey said the opposite, when he declined to refer charges against her to prosecutors.

“That is language from another planet,” Caddell declared. “This woman, to make that assertion after all the proven lies, should be a big story, but it will not be.” He also noted the contrast between how Donald Trump’s appearance on ABC News over the weekend was immediately followed by a round-table of commentators attacking him, but Fox News staged no such ambush of Clinton.

The Wrath of Khan

It seems that Mr Khan, a speaker at the DNC last week was mere agitprop in the never-ending litany of victimhood and unicorns and Skittles that comprised that shit show. Mr Khan and his wife stood on stage and lamented the loss of their son (a Captain in the Army JAG who lost his life in 2004) and took the opportunity to slam Donald Trump as the cause of all of our collective grief over the troubles in the Middle east because he did not read the Constitution or something.

My obligatory response is one of shared grief over anyone in our military who gives his life in service to our country. I am deeply sorry for Mr and Mrs Khan's loss of their son.

But this little episode is unwinding rapidly. and, while I know not a lot of us now/still love "W", the enthusiasm with which the searing blowtorch of truth is applied to the asses of these propped-up political show pieces is reminiscent of the days of your when John "F**king" Kerry's campaign was was sliced, diced, filleted, and fricasseed by the right's nascent internet skills.

Scads of links abound (here, here, here, and here) that variously show Mr Khan being used as I described above, nothing more than agitprop, a friend of the Clintoon campaign and trotted out as a rejoinder to Trump's RNC presentaton of the grieving Benghazi mother (whom Hilliary called a liar).

Below is the best, most respectful discussion of this sad political drama for your enjoyment. It is from The free republic and I am doing my part to make it go viral.

Free Republic
OPEN LETTER TO KHIZR KHAN
July 31, 2016
John Douglas

Dear Mr. Khan,

For the past few days I have been subjected to an unrelenting, full court press from the media portraying you as a sympathetic, grief-stricken father compelled to speak out against Donald Trump.

The speech you gave at the DNC runs around six minutes. Throughout the first 2 ½ minutes you describe yourself as a patriotic American Muslim with undivided loyalty to your country. You point out that you are blessed to have been able to raise your three sons in a nation where they are free to be themselves and follow their dreams.

You then talk about your son Humayun who was killed in action in 2004, his dreams of becoming a military lawyer, and how he put those dreams aside the day he sacrificed himself to save his fellow soldiers.

Beyond that point your speech sounded more like an indictment than a testimonial. An indictment that invites a response. I know I speak for millions of Americans who, like me are tired of watching Hillary Clinton and others use emotionally-charged issues to manipulate voters.

Your speech was a series of false allegations and misinformation. I’ve broken down your speech as follows:

“If it was up to Donald Trump, he (Humayun) never would have been in America.”

Here you charge that Donald Trump has proposed government policies that would have prevented you and your family from coming to America or serving in the armed forces. Mr. Khan, you know that is not the case. This is clearly an attempt to misconstrue Donald Trump’s stated position in regard to immigration and refugees and portray him in a negative light.

“Donald Trump consistently smears the character of Muslims.”

This is another misrepresentation of the facts. Donald Trump has called for strong action to address Radical Islamic Terrorism and prevent ISIS from infiltrating the refugee flow to enter our country. He has never made a single disparaging remark toward Muslims. Quite to the contrary, Mr. Trump has stated on numerous occasions that he has the highest regard for Muslims and has many Muslim friends and employees.

He disrespects other minorities, women, judges, even his own party leadership.

Apparently if someone disagrees with a person, you feel they disrespect that person. By that standard the case could be made that you disrespect Donald Trump. That being the case, your charges against him would reflect bias. Not something that you, as a lawyer, would want to bring into a court of law.

He vows to build walls and ban us from this country.

For decades our Congress has promised to build a wall to secure our southern border and stem the tide of illegal immigration. Donald Trump has vowed to do precisely that. I am unclear what you mean when you say “ban us from this country”. A wall on the southern border would only ban those who come into this country illegally. Donald Trump has said countless times that he wants immigrants to come into this country, but only if they come in legally. Something you should appreciate as a legal immigrant to the United States.

Donald Trump, you are asking Americans to trust you with their future. Let me ask you, have you even read the United States constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy.

You are quick to condemn Donald Trump but seem to have total confidence in Hillary Clinton as a Presidential candidate. Have you ever read Clinton Cash or Crisis of Character? I will gladly lend you my copy(s). I guarantee you will find them both to be eye opening experiences.

In this document look for the words liberty and equal protection of law.

You might review the report issued recently by FBI Director Jim Comey on Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. Per Director Comey, she lied to Congress repeatedly, destroyed 30,000 emails, and was grossly negligent in handling top secret government information. Under equal protection of law, Hillary Clinton would not be running for President of the United States, she would be serving 20 years in prison.

Have you ever been to Arlington cemetery. Go and look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America. You will see all faiths, genders, and ethnicities.

This statement is nothing short of slanderous. Donald Trump has shown himself to be a friend to our Veterans and military and has championed their cause donating time, effort, and money to improve their benefits. He has also pledged to strengthen our military and provide for our veterans. Obama and Hillary have both neglected our Veterans and pushed for the sequester reducing our military forces to their lowest levels since WWII.

Just a thought, Mr. Khan, perhaps you should go and look at the graves of Ambassador, J. Christopher Stevens. Tyrone Woods, Sean Smith and Glen Doherty, the four Americans Hillary abandoned in Benghazi, the four Americans Hillary left to die.

You have sacrificed nothing and no one.

Mr. Khan, I think I find this statement to be most troubling of all. Donald Trump is a man who by all accounts has it all. He is educated, successful, wealthy, charismatic, intelligent, and famous. He could easily step away from this election and let the country founder. But his love of country and family are so strong that he chose to combat a corrupt system of government, a system under which your candidate Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill have thrived and prospered for over 30 years.

Donald Trump is on the front lines of this political war, fighting to restore honor, decency, and accountability to a broken system. In doing so he has changed the way he and his entire family will live, not just for now but for the rest of their lives. He has taken on the establishment, both the politically elite and the media, by himself. Throughout this campaign he has walked tall, refused to compromise his principles, and fought against the ruling class on behalf of the American people. And for his trouble he receives nothing but scorn from nearly everyone in the establishment. He has sacrificed his personal life, time with his family including his 10-year-old son, Barron, and his reputation as a businessman, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. He’s devoted himself full-time to this campaign and is using his own money, over $50 million dollars, money he’s taking from his children and grandchildren to try and save this country.

Hillary is the one who has sacrificed nothing. She’s become a millionaire by selling out the U.S., she sucks in cash from Wall Street, Lobbyists, foreign governments, and anyone else willing to pony up for influence. Not only does all this dirty money fund her campaign, it pads her personal bank account. The Clinton’s net worth is up to $200 million, that from “dead broke” when they left the White House in 2001.

But living off other people’s money isn’t new to the Clintons, they’ve been on the public dole for most of their adult lives. Neither has worked in the private sector creating jobs or building businesses. Quite to the contrary. Hillary likes to brag about destroying jobs for coal miners, or acquiescing to the demands of the Teachers Unions instead of putting the needs of students first. For them power and legacy are all that matters.

We cannot solve our problems by building walls toward division. We are stronger together.

Platitudes sound nice but are meaningless in a world filled with chaos.

And we will keep getting stronger when Hillary Clinton becomes our President.

Hillary Clinton wants to expand upon Barrack Obama’s failed domestic policies and globalist push. They are more concerned with the rest of the world who are lining their pockets than Americans. In fact, Americans are last on their list of priorities.

In conclusion I ask every patriot American, all Muslim immigrants, and all immigrants to not take this election lightly.

This is a historic election and I request to honor the sacrifice of my son and on election day take the time to get out and vote. And vote for the healer, vote for the strongest, most qualified candidate, Hillary Clinton, not the divider.

Mr. Kahn, with all due respect, I must say that having watched your speech it is very hard for me to understand why you would exploit your son’s death and heroism for political capital. There are no facts to back up your charges against Donald Trump, just innuendo. You levy one outrageous charge after another asserting that you are trying to spare the nation the painful experience of electing the wrong person in November. Your speech was approximately six minutes in length. Of that time, you devoted 2:30 speaking of your love of country, family and your courageous son, and the rest of the time attacking Donald Trump and proselytizing for Hillary Clinton.

In a subsequent interview with CNN you assert terrorism has “nothing to do with Islam”. Tell that to the families of the victims of the massacre at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernadino. Tell that to the families of the victims of the massacre at the Pulse Night Club in Florida. Tell that to the parishioners of Rev. Francois Murad, an 86-year-old Catholic priest who was beheaded by ISIS during a Mass at a Normandy church. Tell that to the tens of thousands of nameless, faceless victims from all faiths, genders, and ethnicities who have suffered at the hands of Islamic terrorists carrying out indescribable atrocities in the name of Jihad.

Your son gave his life to save his fellow soldiers. He died at the hands of jihadists who impose sharia law upon the masses, a radical ideology that oppresses women, sanctions the murder of homosexuals, and calls for death to anyone who insults their prophet or opposes their religion. He died fighting for freedom, his fellow man, and his country. Who and what are you fighting for?

Respectfully,

John Douglas

Poll Dancing

O.K., this is all ripped off of Breitbart and I do not doubt for one minute the veracity of any facts contained therein. But it is an interesting tea dance that these assholes (the pollsters, NOT Breitbart) are engaged in.

Several days ago, Reuters reported a 17-point swing for Donald Trump Now today, they report that Clinton was Clinton edging Trump LARGELY BECAUSE OF A CHANGED METHODOLGY USED BY THEIR POLLING COMPANY. (Here is a link to the Reuters explanation for purists.)

Not to masticate this too overlong, it's plain to see what's going on:

(1) To create drama or because their original heuristic uncovered the real truth regarding the so-called "monster vote", Trump experienced the 17-point swing.

(2) The Reuters people went with it because they thought that the post-DNC bump would result in a magnificent lead for Clintoon.

(3) After that four-day crapfest called the DNC, the lead did not materialize and these clowns put out this "neither/other" bull shit so they could show a bounce for Clintoon.

The War Planner's immutable truth: polls are garbage. They are designed to stampede the mind-numbed, mirror-fogging proles (who they think we are) into the cattle pens for Hillary.

The real truth is being polled and reported to the candidates themselves and they are called the "internal polls". This can be discerned from such tells as the number of the times Bubble-Butt in the white virginal pantsuit clears her throat or does those 30-second petit mol double takes. Or by looking at what her campaign is doing versus what it should be doing if she is in a position of strength. And so on.

Clear?

I thought not.

Another "feel good" story of the day from Weasel Zippers:



Man, life's good, innit?

Shit Storm's A-coming!

..just sayin'.

Told ya:

Now anyone out there think about The End Times, Revelations, the Anti-Christ, and The Whore of Babylon?

I tell ya, it's getting creepy.

Hurt Locker: General Bernie and the "GimmeDat" snowflake army sellout..

Marshaling resources and "scouring the bowels of the internet", I came across this marvelous piece on Beritbart trashing Bernie Sanders as being a life-long loser by Charles Hurt. Here are some excerpts but the entire piece screams to be read:

If you are going to start a revolution, you probably want to finish it. Either win or die trying. That is why revolutions are always so bloody. Whatever you do, if you start a real movement and then try to sell it away, don’t be surprised if you lose control. The problem with Bernie Sanders is that he has been a loser his entire political life. Sure, he has won a few elections. But in terms of vision and ideas, he has always been a failure.

During his quarter-century in Congress, Mr. Sanders has been viewed as something of a gadfly with Tourette’s syndrome. Always dressed like a homeless person shambling along the hallways, Democrats felt sorry for him and let him into their meetings. He looked like he needed a cup of coffee and free danishes.

While I reveled in the chaos being wreaked by this seeming rebellion, it was merely an analog for my "Exploding Heads" philosophy. That is, I first signed onto the trump Train as a device to lob the biggest, smelliest, most putrid stink bomb imaginable into D.C. and make those elected tyrants deal with it. However, as the campaign wore on and Mr Trump gained steam, I was curious to see what all the fuss was about.

Imagine my surprise when I got infected.

You see, Donald Trump - for all his billions - is one of us. He is a common man who is seemingly willing to sit down and have a beer with you and, if there is sufficient compelling reason for him to do so, either become interest and sympathetic to your lot in life or, alternatively, fire your ass but add a long lecture in so doing that, if adhered to, will make you a better person for the lesson learned. This was his M.O. on The Intern as he patiently explained to the person he was letting go the reasons for the firing. Anyone willing to take his advice to heart would profit from the experience.

The other side of the coin - becoming interested in the person, party, or group he is conversing with - he has demonstrated continually since he started his campaign. As he plainly explains in his press conference yesterday, he's got all the money he needs and is comfortably set for life but chooses to run for the presidency because he wants to give back and make this country great again. And he is clearly listening to the common folk on this one.

(And, yes, you can cynical all you want. But ask yourself honestly what does he have to gain? Would he put up with all the media bullshit and the crap that will be hurled at him by the Clintoons just because he's on an ego trip? Naw, mate, he's gone long past the time where this would cease to be amusing.)

Anyway, back to the Hurt article by Hurt:

And then, last year, after 25 years being part of the problem in Washington, D.C., lightning struck again. Bernie Sanders found himself in charge of a movement that would not stop building and spreading. It thrust him further and further into a powerful political position he had no business holding.

But, in the end, the system was rigged and then came defeat.

So there he stood, on the arena stage Monday night inside Wells Fargo Center, beside Lincoln Financial Field, across from Citizens Bank Park, addressing the Democratic Party and telling his followers to quit their carping and get in line behind the lying, cheating, self-dealing, big bank-loving, Goldman Sachs-speechifying establishment candidate.

So basically and all along, this craven old stookie was a stalking horse for the DNC establishment or a 42-buck-lateral misdirection play, or something and Ol' Bern didn't have the stones for the long haul. Now he's left the Democrat party and become an independent back in Vermont, gumming his Zwieback and drinking his warm milk contemplating his 15 minutes of fame and pondering what's left of his lonely, dank existence.

Hurt sums this up nicely:

He is like the guy they let out of prison who then realizes that he cannot handle the world outside. So he takes himself to the nicest restaurant in town, orders the biggest, most expensive meal and then refuses to pay the bill so they will come back after him and throw him back into jail. Where at least he knows he will always have a cot to sleep on and free meals three times a day.

His leaderless rabble army, however, soldiers on like so many out-of-work Ronin.

They are pissed and want to deal out some hurt to Clintoon and her contempt for them and for this country. The braver (and saner) among them will pull the lever for Trump realizing that this is the most effective way to put the stake through the old witch's heart. The rest of them will protest in less effective ways from not voting to casting a ballot for some unknown "noble" candidate but the net effect will be the same: it will be as futile as was their first love affair with some worthless, do-nothing old man with a limp dick and no money.

Hey, snowflakes, reality's a bitch.

Thick as a Brick

Sometimes, I get stuck in traffic and am forced to bide my time (when no one is on the CLARA amateur radio two meter repeater) listening to the drive-time political commentariat. In the Southern California area, this means either KRLA 830 Khz, KFI 640 Khz, or KABC 790 Khz if one wants to hear anything close to objective opinions.

Still in all, it is woeful -- and by that, I mean the talk show hosts have to be just too hip for words and are careful to expand their audiences by not alienating either the left or the right. And, in threading this needle, their cynicism leaks over into smug #NeverTrumper commentary with the obligatory bashing of trump (and, by extension) his supporters as mouth-breathing, right-wing proles.

Of course, all one has to do is listen to some of the callers and one can see where they are coming from. Also, I realize this is their paycheck and it behooves them to keep their ratings up.

Yada-yada-yada..

So, this post will not be a n in-depth compendium of the SoCal talk radio scene. It's just my usual gratuitous bag job kvetch on a few of the more annoying talk show people.

We start out at the lower end of the dial at KFI (we have to start somewhere) where they have some screaming Jew named Bill Handle holding forth, replete with histrionics and a rant a mile wide and an inch deep. He is a bread-and-circuses-for-the-masses types who revels in eviscerating the mirror-foggers that call in. The commercial load on KFI is onerous so I rarely hear more than a few syllables from this guy. But I respect him because he's got to make a living and he is certainly good at promoting his sideline businesses while on air. (And, lest you think I am anti-semitic, I am a staunch fan of Israel and have the obligatory scads of Jewish friends, etc. As one of them told me a while ago: there are Jews and their are kikes and kike is another word for schmuck.)

Handel is NOT a kike or schmuck and is likeable. As I said, I just had to start somewhere and his legal advice show on Saturday mornings is entertaining. I am just in a bad mood. read on..

Next, you can flush Doug McIntyre on KABC 790 down the crapper almost immediately. He comes off as a too-hip guy from the East who made his bones on a stand-in gig during the Bush-Gore 30-day war back in November 2000 when he took George Bush's side and adroitly dissected the crap the left and the Dems were attempting to pull off. Ratings went through the roof and he got an overnight slot doing what he called "Red Eye Radio". (I am not going to explain it; you look it up.) Well, he was promoted to the morning drive slot, demoted, and then promoted again, currently being in that role today.

But he is apparently turned off by Trump and his antics and prepared to vote third-party or for his wife's Chihuahua or something. You know the type: smug, principled, just a hair's breadth away from Big-L Libertarian and pandering to our Dem and liberal betters out here in Kalifornia. He does not realize that we are sinking in a river of sewage and, although his favorite crusade is illegal immigration, he apparently cannot make the connection between Trump's metaphoric wall, the fate of the common American citizen, and the perils of allowing that bubble-assed lying bitch in the $13,000 house coat a shot at the presidency.

He gets about a minute or two of my time; the scan button gets hit as soon as he begins one of those smug trump-is-a-buffoon routines. We are currently taking up a collection for McIntire to have a plate glass window installed near his belly button so he can see the world because is seems his head is perpetually shoved up his own ass and all that.

And this brings us to my favorites of the lot. Two guys who are the leftovers up at Huge Hewittless's KRLA 830. My morning "favorite" is this reedy, whiny little dickhead, Ben Shapiro, whose hatred of Donald Trump is the stuff of legends. He is basically one of these principled conservative pricks who will not vote for trump ever. Below is an excerpt from his anti-trump screed. The logic and reasoning extant in this drivel makes me doubt the guy ever went to Harvard but probably got his degree from some mail-in college on the plains of Manitoba or operating out of some back-room in Milpitas, California.

Truly lame, "shoot yourself in the foot" strategic thinking:

I will never vote for Donald Trump.

Ever.

I will never vote for Donald Trump because I stand with certain principles. I stand with small government and free markets and religious freedom and personal responsibility. Donald Trump stands against all of these things. He stands for Planned Parenthood and trade restrictions and targeting of political enemies and an anti-morality foreign policy and government domination of religion and nastiness toward women and tacit appeals to racism and unbounded personal power. I stand with the Constitution of the United States, and its embedded protection of my God-given rights through governmental checks and balances. Donald Trump does not. I stand with conservatism. Donald Trump stands against it.

I stand with #NeverTrump.

The counterargument to the #NeverTrump movement comes down to two words: Hillary Clinton. Trump will supposedly close the borders (a lie); Hillary will not. Trump will appoint conservative Supreme Court justices (unlikely); Hillary will not. No matter how bad Trump is, the argument goes, conservatives have a duty to back the anti-Hillary.

I think Trump will get blown out in a general election. But let’s assume that these critics of #NeverTrump are right. Let’s assume that but for we #NeverTrump voters sitting out the election, Trump would become president, and Hillary would go down in flaming defeat. And let’s assume that Hillary Clinton will appoint terrible justices, destroy the military, and usher in the apocalypse. Why in the world would conservatives live with President Hillary Clinton on their consciences?

Because first, it’s not on our consciences. It’s on the consciences of the people who went along with this nomination. We did not select Trump. We will not vote for him.

And if we are going to save the country, it will not rest on one or two justices on the Supreme Court. It will rest on the will of the people to resist tyranny. That will start at the state and local level. It will start with the people.

It will start with conservatives willing to say “no.”

Because if we never say “no,” we will never have the opportunity to say “yes.”

So he is saying that he is not a team player. You know, like one of those pin dicks who would have said we needed to avoid "entanglements" in Europe (to stop Hitler) and in the Pacific (to stop Tojo).

And this is type of classic dogma that ensures he and his ilk will be out of power for the rest of his natural life. So, Ben, get used to saying "no"; it'll become an annoying habit, kind of like that nervous tic you will develop when attain a ripe age and become a sclerotic old codger, sitting on the front porch of your Kibbutz, whittling on a stick, wondering why life passed you by.

Also, Shapiro, if you don't get your people elected, you don't get to make the rules. Sometimes it is necessary to work with others to realize your goals. After all, we worked for John McCain on 20078 and Mutt Rumbley in 2012. But when it comes to pulling an oar for the working stiff's choice this year, Butt-wipe Ben doesn't want to soil his hands.

But the piece de resistance comes from Shapiro's station-mate who does afternoon drive on the same station, the so-called Great One: Mark Levin.

This guy is a piece of work who has increasingly annoyed me over the years with his principled stances. But what tore it for me was listening to him on the heels of trump's press conference in Doral, Florida today.

Basically, in his typical free-form fashion, Trump owned that the minimum wage would have to be raised to $10 in some states (and more or less in others) and went on to explain how that would not matter because his aim was to make the economy rebound.

Here's a quiz for youse: anyone know what the minimum wage is in North Dakota? (Hint: it's $7.25 per hour.) Anyone remember when the rest of the economy was sucking swamp water how much you could get paid for a job flipping burgers in North Dakota? Hint:

Trump also owned that college graduates shouldered an onerous burden with their education loans and are now facing a grim economy and staggering debt.

So, Mr Principled gets on the airwaves, delivers a condescending lecture on why a minimum wage causes job losses and why the minimum wage was meant to be an entry level stipend and not meant to provide subsistence for a family. Anyone who supposedly can slog through Levin's daily fare should have the requisite intellect and experience to already know these facts. But he droned on.

Then it hit me: here is some self-anointed prick who lectures his audience and -- by extension -- is lecturing a billionaire in the contracting/building industry on the effects of the minimum wage? Really? You think Trump is not already aware of this? This is practically his daily fare and certainly one of the underpinnings of his business model.

But what is even more alarming is that Levin did not see this in the context of the recent days' events, he was that myopic. Bernie Sanders raised this army of "gimmedats" who practically took the coronation of Bubble-Ass off at the knees. His army, once Sanders sold them out, continued on its own steam by staging an open revolt and walk-out of the DNC. Interview after You Tube video of these precious little snowflakes reveals that handouts for the common folk are what's on their mind and they are prepared to go to the mat for free stuff.

So, in this press conference Trump threw them a bone. He basically said to them that he was not as terrible as the Democrat leadership and Hillary shills have been pointing out and that they ought to give him a second look. He hoped to peel off a few more to add to the 20% who said they would already throw over Clintoon for Trump.

But this apparently did not sink in with "Mr Principled" as he does not want to pander.

So, like Shapiro, McIntyre, and the rest, Levin will be sitting out there in the wilderness, preaching to his narrow segment of "principled conservatives"..smugly. Sure hope their ratings don't dwindle too much.

But, actually, I could care less. They can all die and go to hell with a hard-on. Sometimes it's better to turn off the fucking radio and just drive home in relative silence.

Dem Job Opportunities!

Seems like the DNC is creating some serious jobs programs already. first some background:

So, right in the middle of Clintoon's roll call for the nomination when the Bernie Sanders' people realize their man just got flushed (mainly because the hag gave him a 60-grit sandpaper hand job), there's the biggest exodus since all the R. O. P. goat humpers started pouring into Merkel-land leaving the Verizon Arena with a big empty. How to avoid the embarrassing camera shots? Well, here's what the geniuses came up with, I shit you not!

So there it is. You get $50 for about five to six hours' work and no dinner break. Those of you out there with your calculators or slide rules should see that this is around $10 per hour -- or less.

Exit question: what ever happened to the $15 minimum wage?

Party on, Garth!
Party on, Wayne!

Shit Pile

Schadenfreude Lowlights

I am [currently] a working stiff but avidly following the absolutely delicious events at the DNC. And, believe me, they're coming hot and heavy and it's frustrating not to be able to add mu thoughts on these events but I will catch up this week. I just have to make some observations as to the bouncing of that mayo-headed cunt, Debbie Downer-Washes-her-man's-shortz, out of the DNC chair and right into the loving arms of Hildabeast Rodram Clintoon.

Bounced..you know..as in booed off the podium and escorted from the convention by a security contingent. Seems she got her short-and-curlies entangles in the great WikiLeaks outwash last Saturday.

As Hillary will tell you, Debbie, e-mails are a bitch!

All this after this slut taunted Reince Priebus, asking him if he needed help running an orderly convention.

The shit storm gong on tin the city of Brotherly Love is sure a calm, peaceful interlude and a welcome change form the solid three minutes of booing of Ted "It's all about me" Cruzifiction after his twenty minute suicide note last Wednesday. (Hope the fuckign asshole dies and goes to hell with a hard-on.)

But the truly delicious morsel is that all of the #NeverTrump folks are melting down as the DNC melts down, basically seeing their vision of an "I told you so" Clintoon victory over Trump.

One of the more delectable tidbits is Bill KristolMeth's puerile pissy little tweets:

To which I wittily reply, "Fuck you and the ass you rode in on, you festering pile of shit."

Clear enough?

I thought not.

Some random thoughts..

.. while waiting for the Southern California heat to break. I posted this over at Hot Gas and wanted to save it for posterity here. Much over the Clinton pick of Citizen Kaine for her running mate.

..o.k., just stopped by to pick up the empties, clean out the ash trays, and take out the trash. (Also, I need to see if you folks left any beer in the fridge.)

But I had a few thoughts.

Firstly, and I'll probably work this into a blog post, but how can one characterize as "dark" a speech about returning a once-proud nation to its former glory by enforcing its laws, making its legislators and judiciary (and citizens) take the principles enunciated on its Constitution seriously, fight for the poor, weak, downtrodden, and restore its prestige among other nations?

Secondly, if Hillary Clinton is so f**king thrilled about her choice as a running mate, why did she treat the announcement like a Friday night document dump?

Thirdly, who else thinks this choice is indicative of Hillary Clinton purposely tanking the race because she just wants the pardon?

Fourthly, what does this sluggo bring to the ticket EXCEPT Virginia?

..and lastly, given the eeyore-ishness and anti-Trump banality of the posts by Poppin' Fresh [Ed Morrissey] and AllahPhallus [anonymous Dead Air blogger], wouldn't they be wise to PAY ATTENTION to those work-from-home-and-earn-thirteen-large-per-month spam comments? I mean, the way that blog is going, they might need alternative sources of income.

Alrighty then! I see that there's a cold bottle of Dos Equis in the back behind the milk and OJ; I'll just help myself and be on my way.

Stay thirsty my friends; I got a train I must parallel park.

Tangential

There have been a shit-pot full of earth-moving events this past fortnight and -- as any sane and conscientious member of society who values the thin blue line that protects us from the hordes of Visigoths at the gates -- I weep when society's guardians die at the hands of domestic enemies.

Similarly, I chafe at the moral sewage that spews from the media and our elected officials. Latest case in point is this precious piece of hypocrisy from our asshole Lawn Jockey POTUS:

Personally, I cannot wait until this fool wanders off into the pages of history -- hopefully to be forgotten -- and ends up in some back alley off of Hotel Street in Honolulu with a hot shot in his arm and dresses in a feather boa, spangled, split-crotch panties, and 6-inch sequined platform heels.

In the mean time, just go play golf and have a steaming mug of Shut The Fuck Up!

"Hah there, ah's yo new neighbor" -- The Schadenfreude Edition

Once said to be the seven most feared words in Newport Beach, California (or any other walled-off rich white person refuge), it can certainly apply to that hapless, fawning, piece of crap libtard, George Clooney, (hereinafter, cLooney) and his lib lawyer wife.

You see, they have this POSH £7.5 million hovel up on the fashionable shores of Lake Como in Italy. They spend about four months a year there and they spend 12 months a year running their mouths about how we should all take in more and more goat-humper refugees from the land of baked enamel camels. Here Paul Joseph Watson unloads on this sanctimonious prick in one of his best rants:



Well, now it seems that the Daily Mail is reporting that the pigeons have come home to roost, as it were.

George Clooney's wealthy neighbours in the Alpine beauty spot of Lake Como say their Italian idyll is being ruined by the influx of hundreds of migrants to a makeshift camp on their doorstep.

The picturesque area is best known as a hide-away for Clooney and a multitude of other Hollywood A-listers includ Brad Pitt, wife Angelina Jolie, and pop superstar Madonna.

But a clamp-down by Switzerland on illegal immigrants entering the country from Italy threatens to turn this chic resort into a frontier town overrun by the homeless and desperate.

Now, I am just grinning from ear to ear as I shovel a huge slice of schadenfreude down my yawning gullet. To say that these rich bastages and their rich bitches and bitchettes are taking a huge bite of crap sandwich over the swarm of locusts that threaten to blight their idyllic mountain hideouts is the understatement of the year.

But ya gotta have pictures to really appreciate how the A-Rabs and camel drivers are driving down the property values.

Some of the lads hanging out, waiting for lawn mowing jobs?

Willie and the Poor Boys of CCC fame?

That shit sure does pile up, don't it?

Now here's the hard one. Is this a Lake Como denizen or a refugee?

cLooney's palatial  digs on the water

..and some of his neighbors getting ready for an enchanting evening.

..and the neighborhood is going to the dogs. 

From the Daily Mail: "Hopes: Ossas, 39, from Nigeria, said: ‘We want a new life in Italy but we have to move on because Italy often does not accept us as refugees. ‘We have all claimed asylum here in Italy but 90 per cent of claims are refused."

..looks like cLooney's and other homes will be on the market pretty soon. Betcha you can pick up a bargain for well below the prevailing rate but I would caution haste because Switzerland might re-open their borders soon.

Aloha Snackbar XVIII..

And here's another:

Recant and Decant..

Firstly, this bit of click bait agitprop from a slavering left-wing/liberal psuedo-blog. You Google/Bing it; I don't want to give them the traffic:

"BLACK LIVES KILL."

Those were the three words that blared across the Drudge Report early Friday morning after five Dallas police officers were killed in a horrific ambush attack.

And immediately upon seeing the race-baiting headline, conservatives rebelled against a once reliable ally who has become more and more divisive to them over the course of the 2016 campaign.

“In moments like these, we should do the opposite of what Drudge is doing,” Commentary Magazine Editor Noah Rothman wrote on Twitter.

“Responsible reporting as always,” sarcastically tweeted Jeff Blehar, from the popular Ace of Spades blog.

Others piled on.

Allahpundit, an influential anonymous conservative blogger, skewered the site for a subsequent banner headline claiming a “black power group” had claimed responsibility for the attack.

“Dallas chief says suspect told them before he died that he wasn’t part of a group,” the blogger wrote.

And David French, the National Review writer who flirted with a third-party presidential run, went as far as to say that he had deleted the Drudge Report app from his phone.

Those of us who are "DeadAir" (née Hot Air) expatriates will recognize the Murderer's Row of writers and bloggers this rag has listed. They are almost all GOPe kneepad wearing #NeverTrumpers whose "conservative" credentials run to such staunch values as open borders, bending over the middle class and giving them the "Big Umbie" (see note 1 below) over bad trade deals and visas to immigrants who take bone fide jobs from Americans because the former will work for a fraction of what the latter will work for. And they universally decry Trump as a viable candidate and are actively (if not militantly working to get Hilliary Clinton to either protect their own comfy job situations and zit-covered posteriors while simultaneously trying to build up the "I told you so" mantra should Donald Trump loses to the serial felon.

So, truthfully, they all can separately and collectively:

(1) Suck rucks
(2) Pound sand
(3) Kiss my ass
(4) All of the above.

On to the matters at hand:

You may or may not know that I have no love for Hugh Hewitt, talk show host over at KRLA 870 in Los Angeles and twon Hall commentator. I call him "Huge Hewittless" and/was generally turned off by his smugness and GOPe/DC insider ruminations. Basically, he used to have folks like Lindsay Graham and Paul Ryan on his show and they'd "gluck" away (see note 2 below) about how important responsible conservatism was, all the while entertaining Hewitt's sycophantic callers ("Hugh, you're the greatest; I listen to your show all the time") BUT! BUT! But, I cannot let this expression of common sense by Mr Hewitt go unpunished.

No doubt, I’ve had a few collisions with Trump during this campaign season. But conservatives expect candor about the choice ahead of us, and the prospect of another President Clinton, especially a Clinton who is so mired in scandal, compromised on national security and is the author of so many foreign-policy meltdowns, has a way of concentrating the mind. For the good of the country, Republicans have to be clear about the binary choice in front of us, close ranks around Trump and encourage him to eschew the frivolous and move ahead with a serious message.

So, while I still am not BFF with Mr Hewitt nor do I consider him my homey, I will say that I admire his clarity and sense of purpose; his sentiments serve to provide a stark contrast to those who still have not come to terms with the dichotomy of choice and the serious consequences we face should Clinton be elected.

On the other hand, there is the matter of my former hangout and central blog-of-residence, Hot Air, being run by Ed Morrissey. Now, I like Ed ever since I e-mailed him one afternoon in 2006 and asked if I might be allowed posting privileges on his blog. I received a very nice reply (and the requested privileges) and a nice conversation ensued. I found that he had once been a denizen of nearby Cerritos, California (on the border between Orange and Los Angeles counties) and that he had once held an amateur radio license (which is one of my passions). My feelings for Hot Air were overwhelmingly warm and, as I proceeded to comment, I became enamored of the wit, wisdom, and warmth of my fellow commenters. It is fair to say from that day up until February of this year, there developed a fraternal relationship between all of us. We were brothers and sisters -- family, if you will -- and shared in our joys and sorrows, births, deaths, and life's events.

Then came the great falling out of February 2016.

Ed came on the air and unceremoniously advised us that Hot Air was changing to the Facebook commenting system and out exclusive brotherhood was to be thrown open to the brigands, jackals, and Visigoths at the gate waiting to gain entrance to sack, rape, pillage, and otherwise soil the pristine and hallowed enclave we so enjoyed. While we protested, Ed basically told us that's the way things were and we could pound sand.

Now, in general, he was within his rights to do that. It was his blog (for the most part) and we were just guests. But we felt that we were what drove that blog to the greatness it achieved and he was beholden to us to some degree. At least a little more courtesy could have been observed. But, to make a long story short, that was that and most of us made the trip over to Hot Gas, an instantly-erected and wonderfully efficient haven for us vets. The efforts of Constantine XI, King Jester, Fossten, Doomberg, and others have provided us with a cozy home for our family.

But to say again more clearly: this is not the reason I feel so badly about Hot Air; Ed can do what he wants. However, I lament what it has become: a virtual sewer of #NeverTrumpers, Anti-Trumpers, the aforesaid Visigoths, Eeyores, and general ne'er-do-wells with no pedigree or background that render their meaningless bleatings sans wit and wisdom. Alec Guinness said it best when describing Mos Eisley Space Port, "..a wretched hive of scum and villainy". Moreover, of the three remaining mainstays of that site -- Ed, the hapless Allahpudit, and Jazz Shaw -- only Jazz is worth reading. The other two have lapsed into morose mewlings about the sad state of affairs because Donald Trump is the [presumptive] GOP nominee. Their themes are #NeverTrump 24/7 and their writing (particularly Ed's) are sentimental longings for the good old days of "W" and the GOPe. Ed's former keenness and analytical skills in dissecting the bullshit Obama economic stats and bullshit opinion push polls have now been turned on the now-a-days polls, based on outdated 2012 polling paradigms such as over-weighting Dems by as much as 10-12 points when enthusiasm and turnout seems to indicate otherwise.

Basically, I cannot stand Hot Air because it has become "Eeyoreville" and "The coming apocalypse in November" and "I will have told you so". My few, infrequent visits over there are painful -- particularly when you look at the FB single-digit comment counts for writers who used to routinely garner responses in the hundreds if not thousands.

So there you have it: one person has winnowed his way back in my good graces and a former friend has left them. I am sure neither are losing any sleep over my new regard for them.

But we soldier on, don't we?

Notes
(1) I had a fraternity brother at UCLA named Danny Wexler who, among other gags and goofs, would respond to questions like, "So, Danny, how'd you do in your Poli Sci mid-term?" but saying,. "Agggggh! I took the big umbie!" When asked to explain, he said that it was the academic equivalent of bending over, having the professor jam an unopened umbrella where the sun doesn't shine, and THEN open it up before removing it. Your mileage may vary.

(2) Glucking is generally done at a GOPe soiree where #NeverTrumpers gather -- usually at some posh country club out on the back lawn in the early evening -- and sip Chablis and pound down Brie while mewling and crying that it appears that the absolutely horrid Donald Trump will be the nominee and that he will bring along all of the great unwashed boors amd mouth-breathing proles along with him if elected. You know, like Andrew Jackson did? After a time, they become a little tipsy and they tilt their heads back (cf. Tom Wolfe's description of Felicia Bernstein in is essay, Radical Chic) that their epiglottises fall back into their esophaguses and they all start making this "GLUCK, GLUCK" sound when they talk.

Too good not to share..

Ripped off from Hot Gas who ripped it off from the artist and his publisher. Sums up the whole situation quite nicely.

Very little else to add..

Believe me, this brief post IN NO WAY plumbs the depths of my feelings nor comes within light years of summing up my revulsion for what the government of our country has become but to add my pathetic bleat to the chorus, I am flummoxed at the naked criminality displayed by events of the past six days:

(1) Bill "accidentally" bumps into Loretta Lynch on the tarmac in Phoenix and they board her private aircraft for a casual discussion re his golf game and and grandkids.

(2) Lynch practically admits to tainting the process but does not recuse herself. Instead the THROWS THE WEIGHT OF THE DECISION TO PROSECUTE ONTO COMEY AND THE FBI.

(3) Hillary is "grilled" for three and one-half hours on Saturday by the FBI.

(4) Then, after a Sabbath off and a respite for the 240th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, Comey comes forth with this well-tailored explanation as to why they will not be recommending for prosecution AFTER HAVING TACITLY ADMITTING THAT THEY FOUND EVIDENCE OF HER STORING TOP SECRET DOCUMENTS ON HER SERVER.

I want to throw up.

Excuse me while I move to some other country whose government is less dishonest and less like some fucking banana republic -- like Cuba or Venezuela.

Do they think we are stupid?

..well, yes, William, they do.

Perhaps it's time for us to, as Thomas Jefferson once wrote, to water the tree of liberty with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

MORE CONTEMPT FOR THE PEOPLE: Breitbart adds this little tidbit I overlooked, namely that Clinton and Obama flew together on Air Force One to campaign (on our dime) in North Carolina THE SAME TIME COMEY ANNOUNCED HIS DECISION. The regard they all have for us is contemptuous and vile. Superseding how King George treated our forefathers by passing the various taxes and acts without representation or due process, this is probably about as close to King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette showed for their subjects. "Let them eat cake," indeed.

And we all know that ended badly.
