Saturday Down South - Week #1

Yes indeed, it is at long last College Football season again.  Fresh jerseys, refurbished helmets, new cleats and all new, longer and much improved fake weaves to flow from beneath the helmets. (I hear they give you that extra half-step on your competitor). The Expert Sports Monkeys have picked their top 25, conference champions, National Champs and even the Heisman Trophy winner. And more often than not, they will be wrong. But the season starts in earnest this weekend.  

The SEC is already off to a 2-0 start, with Florida getting things rolling with a 'W', looking like.....the Florida we all know. Texas A&M got their 'W' at home looking like a real, possible could be genuine maybe SEC West contender. In all fairness, this being Week 1 with mostly over matched non conference warm ups for Division One teams, everyone is jazzed, rough around the edges and prone to mental mistakes........my argument against early polls & rankings. 

There are few games of real importance this first week, but a couple worth paying attention to.  One is Auburn vs. Oregon. The ducks return 10 starters on offense from a team that went 8-4 and finished unranked last year, and somehow are now pre-season #11. Yeah they have a QB that is NFL bound........the same one that went 8-4 in the Pac 12 last year! Am I missing sumpthin here?? The ducks, who have won hands-down the DMF 'Ugliest Uniforms in College Football' award every year there has been a DMF 'Ugliest Uniforms in College Football' award, have to play Auburn's freshman QB.... and one of the best D lines in the country.  Uh...Advantage Auburn.

In a way to early SEC East Conference game, one of my projected two SEC losses for week one (the other being Ol' Missy) we wait and see how much coach Kirby lets his Georgia Bulldogs run up the score on hapless Vanderbilt to pad their stats to fuel the hype machine and the professional sports monkey's hard-ons, and throw a little mania to the most obnoxious fan base in the SEC.

Alabama draws first blood this season from Duke. The bad news is that Bama will not only be short 4 players due to suspensions, they have lost both their starting defensive anchors and play callers to season ending injury. This could complicate their season later in the year, or maybe not. But for now, all this increases Duke's chances of winning from 996-1 to 995-1.

LSU opens 2019 hosting Georgia Southern. This is not a team coach Oeaux is taking lightly. They went 10-3 last year and play a triple option offense that is rarely used these days, and is very difficult to defend against. Georgia Southern and their triple option inspired one of the more memorable and hilarious epic rants by Nick Saban during an Alabama press conference a couple of years ago when questioned about playing FBS teams. Ya Gotta watch it.

I really don't expect the Tigers to show a whole lot of their revamped offense as not to give much away to the Longhorns who they face in Austin next week. But it wouldn't surprise me if GS keeps it close till they've shown all their cards, then the Tigers go full throttle and knock off some of their own rough edges in the process.

GEAUX TIGAHS!

And to Kick Off the Season, All SEC Teams Got a Single Wish

Savor The Media’s Outrage

Image via Middle Finger News Service Archives 1/20/2017

The NYT’s leaked transcript from a few weeks ago wrecked any chance of anyone falling for their “All The News That’s Fit To Print” baloney again – when the scribblers are hassling their editor because the paper isn’t calling Trump “racist” often enough, you’ve Old Yeller’d objectivity. When you openly plan to replace American history with a garbage narrative designed to undermine the moral foundation of its citizenry’s right to self-government in order to solidify your own caste’s hold on power, you’ve chosen a side in the Octagon, so don’t be shocked if someone figuratively busts a chair over your skull.

For years, these pompous hacks have clobbered ordinary folks whose only “crime” is making fun of Obama at a rodeo, or making a funny meme about liberals, or understanding that there are only two genders. They pored over the social media accounts of lesser mortals, highlighting thought crimes and sometimes thoughtlessness with malignant glee. They tried to teach us rubes the lesson that disobedience and defiance bring cancellation. They took normal people and hauled them up onto the Aztec altar of human sacrifice to have their beating hearts cut out to appease the demon demi-gods of wokeness.

You must have a heart of stone not to burst into uncontrollable, hysterical laughter at the agony of the failing New York Times and the rest of the media over how conservative activists are going to apply the same internet colonoscopy to lib journalistas as they apply to us. This is righteous retribution, and the screaming and hollering about it is further evidence that there’s plenty of dirt to dig up.

Will The Buttigieg Campaign Be Mugged By Lesbians??

Looks like Democrats have plans to go all-in with identity politics for 2020, just as soon as they can iron out their racial and gender confused hierarchy of identities. And that is going to be fun to watch!

Ironically, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who has used identity politics as a starting whistle and a key selling point in his campaign to become the first openly gay president, might just find himself the victim of this spreading virus of identity politics.

According to Politico, the Lesbians are less interested in sexual orientation than in gender when it comes to electoral justice next year.

"Campbell Spencer, a lesbian and political consultant, moved to Washington in the 1990s to work in LGBTQ advocacy, worked in the Obama White House and now serves on the board of the LGBTQ Victory Fund, which this year issued its first-ever endorsement of a presidential candidate: Pete Buttigieg......"

Spencer herself will not be voting for Buttigieg. 

“Mayor Pete, he’s a trailblazer, but I’m one of these women who thinks we are way overdue for having a woman in the White House. That’s a lens through which I’m going to filter my decision." 

It feels like a slap in the face to just go directly to the white gay guy, when for decades you’ve been trying to elect a woman and it didn’t happen last time. If Pete Buttigieg is elected it won’t feel like a vindication of Hillary Clinton. If a woman is elected, it will."

Hillary had her own chance to win an election, a chance handed to her by the DNC on a silver platter, and she blew it. And one of the ways in which she blew it was by making the election about identity politics and her own entitlement when voters wanted the election to be about themselves.

And while democratic leadership and their media activists cheerleaders remain obsessed with identity politics, it is not terribly attractive or important to democrat voters as Monmouth poll discovered earlier this year:

"Fully 87% say the race of the nominee does not matter. Just 5% say it would be better for Democrats to nominate a person of color. Similarly, 77% say the gender of the nominee does not matter. Just 7% say it would be better for Democrats to nominate a woman."

So the question is, will lesbians mug Mayor Pete and throw him under the bus in the primaries in favor of Senator Lizzy or the Voodoo Queen Kamala in an attempted vindication of Hillary Clinton???

When She Goes Down, the Left Will freak Out in a Festival of Freaking Outness Unparalleled in American History

Excerpts From Kurt Schlichter@Townhall 

Progressives’ ghoulish glee over the death of an old man turned into barely constrained panic when, later that day, it was revealed that their heroine Ruth Bader Ginsberg was just treated for pancreatic cancer yet again. Their disgraceful joy at David Koch’s passing was yet another reminder of the harsh truth that leftists want you dead or enslaved. Koch’s sin was that he disagreed with liberals (though, in important ways, also with conservatives). For that, these cretins danced around like idiots celebrating his succumbing. And they’ll celebrate when you die too. Always believe people who tell you they hate you and want you dead.

RBG’s latest successful MMA bout with the Grim Reaper is a reminder that we conservatives need to gird our loins for what’s coming when she finally leaves the Supreme Court for good. But our anticipatory loin girding is merely prudent preparation. 

We conservatives don’t want people to die simply because they have different political beliefs.  But she’s very old and she’s very sick and facing that reality is not the same as high-fiving it.   

Not wanting her to die a horrible death is not to sugarcoat the damage she has done with her utterly upside-down vision of our founding document, but to simply reaffirm a point that never should have been an issue but is an issue because of the shameful behavior of liberals like we saw with Koch.

Her constitutional jurisprudence consists of disregarding what she dislikes that’s in the Bill of Rights and making up stuff that’s not in it but that she feels – not thinks, feels – should be in it. 

She’s a terrible justice and conservatives would love to see her step down. But our side expressed no delight in her latest suffering comparable to the giddy revelry that greeted Koch’s kicking the bucket. We’re not monsters, though how long that remains true is up in the air. When you establish New Rules they tend to come back and bite you on the Schumer. 

The Democrats are already prepping the battlespace with this cheesy narrative.

If there is a SCOTUS vacancy next year and @senatemajldr carries through on his extraordinary promise to fill it-despite his own previous precedent in blocking Garland-it will tear this country apart.

— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) August 23, 2019

The last time Democrats failed to get their way they tore the country apart. And when this all goes down, the left will freak out in a festival of freaking outness unparalleled in American history. 

The Dem candidates will go nuts. Big Chief Warren will be on the warpath, Bernie will call for revolution, Harris will say whatever she thinks is useful, Biden will start talking about how JFK visited him in the White House, and Beto will continue to be a furry. 

We’ll get lots of the “Orange man bad, orange man not nominate a judge because he bad” babble from the libs and their gimp media. Maddow will cry, Don Lemon will pound an umbrella drink and Tater Stelter will sweat profusely as he reads off the teleprompter about how Trump is literally Hitler. 

The Fredocons will weigh in with their patented brand of sissy submission to their elite tops. We’ll be informed how taking back the Supreme Court like the geebos of Conservative, Inc., promised for three decades is actually not who we are and how we’re better than that. -  Read More

Adam Schiff Must Now Step Aside Because America Needs "More Everyday People In Congress" Says His Drag Queen Challenger

The Yapping Chihuahuas of Diversity Shall Turn and Bite You in the Ass 

The democrat party is now solidly the party of identity politics. They’ve gone to great lengths in recent years introducing Marxist concepts like intersectionality into their party’s platform. Like an oppression olympics, democrat politicians seem to have a scorecard rating them by their race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation to develop a score of how “untouchable” they are based on the groups, sub-groups, and sub-sub-groups the Left uses to scream bigotry at any question or criticism they don’t agree. The democrats have made a habit of crying racist/bigot/homophobe/nazi when anyone in their new caste system is given even the slightest scrutiny.

Shifty Adam Schiff (D-CA) now must prove his wokeness to the party because he faces a primary challenge from the nation’s first drag queen ever elected to public office. Maebe A. Girl (yes, this is a real name) will go face-to-heavily-made-up-face with Adam in an open primary challenging Schiff for his seat in the House for California’s 28th Congressional seat. Right now, Washington’s all messed up. Congress is full of rich white guys and Maebe wants to fix that; it’s time for Capitol Hill to get some regular ol’ everyday-American folks:

“We need more everyday people in Congress—its overwhelmingly older, white, wealthy men, and that’s just not representative of America, or my district.”

On Girl’s campaign website it states Girl is genderfluid/trans pronouns she/her, for those of you who aren’t sufficiently woke that means Girl is a man who identifies as a woman and prefers to be addressed as a woman and dresses like a woman. And since Girl’s gender is fluid that may explain why the legal name change included a term “maybe”.

By democrat standards, since Schiff is a raving cis-hetero white male (meaning he's cursed and knows what gender he really is and allegedly attracted to women) he has no right to stand in the way of diversity and should man-up and end his bid for re-election immediately. Unfortunately for Schiff those are the rules.  According to democrat orthodoxy if Schiff runs against Girl he is only perpetuating the oppression of the white male patriarchy and continuing the oppression of minority voices in “Trump’s America”. Anything less then pulling out of the race is obvious hypocrisy when it comes to the party’s claims of support for the LGBTQ community.

Remember that Rep.Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) of the Squad, insinuated that only members of a marginalized group can represent said marginalized group, so if you’re a democrat who claims to support LGBTQ rights you must demand Schiff step aside. Or else he may become Adaline Schiff.

Okay, I guess the Global Warming Scare is Over With Now

The present day 'the sky is falling' crowd have been warning us that global warming is an existential threat to all humanity and little puppies everywhere, and even some idiot suggested recently we only have 15 years left until life on Earth is wiped out. Thankfully, that threat may just have ended. The New York Post reports that the mega rich Barky and Big Mike have moved on up to a playground of the rich and famous and bought themselves a mega-mansion on Martha’s Vineyard. I’m not sure if this means anything, but the mansion is located at 79 Turkeyland Cove. The Obamas had been renting the house over the summer and they made an offer to buy. The house is in escrow and reportedly went for around $15 million.

Now you're probably saying, Diogenes, what the hell has this got to do with Global Warmin'?'  Well, there’s a couple of reasons why I believe this mansion purchase on Martha’s Vineyard by the Obamas signals the end to global warming alarmism:

Firstly, the upkeep and operation of a 7000 square-feet pad with kitchen efficient enough to keep Mike fed and the massive lawn of the 29 acre compound is one hell of a carbon footprint. Anyone who was genuinely concerned that global warming is man-made would have to be a special kind of selfish a-hole to purchase such a gaudy polluting property. Don't ya think?

Secondly, this mansion is on the Atlantic ocean and right up on the beach. If man-made global warming was actually causing the sea levels to rise, nobody in their right mind would drop $15 million on an estate that they thought was going to be swallowed up by the ocean any day now. Granted, the Obamas are special kinds of a-holes, but they aren’t the kind who would throw $15 million away. Clearly they aren’t concerned about global warming or they would have bought a mansion in Aspen, a mile above sea level.

And what was that thing Obama said about wealth? Oh yeah, he said “I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.” I guess owning a mansion in DC and a spread in the Vineyard is a good indication they haven't made enough yet, seeing they are still raking it in and already worth an estimated $135 million, which ain’t bad for two talentless unremarkable people.

The good news in all this is however is the Obamas glaring hypocrisy signals an unofficial end to the global warming hoax. For once their actions result in something positive.

It's Official: Everything is Because of Slavery

And here I thought I had heard the most ridiculous things I could ever imagine by now. 

Oh silly me!

The 150th Season of the Sport of College Football

Down South, we only have three seasons, Spring, Summer and Football Season. And of course a few weeks a year that you actually have to use the heater in the car.  This year, before we even have a 100 degree day, lo and behold we're on the cusp of new season, the 150th Season of College Football.

The 2018 Season is now fading in the rear view mirror. In the SEC it was a year that brought many surprises. Like the Sports Monkey's assurances of the rising dominance of the SEC East which created some over-inflated egos, but really just turned out to be a long awaited parity among conference teams.

In the West, the Crimson Tide turned in a perfect A+ 12-0 regular season to the teacher, only to fail their final exam. The Gus Bus hit the ditch (kinda of a surprise, lets say) and Ed Orgeron started the year on the hot seat, but wound up sitting upon a throne of purple and gold. The LSU Tigers, who no one expected to be anything but  7-5 spoilers having one of the toughest schedules in Division 1, were all but written off. But the Tigers had a little something to say about it. 

The high lite of the season for moi was October 13th, after the Tigers had already knocked off the #7 & #8 ranked teams in the nation, as LSU hosted #2 - the sports monkey's heir apparent to the Crimson Tide's SEC dominance, the 6-0 Georgia Bulldogs. Bolstered from the hype of the previous season and puff-chested from beating up on powerhouses like Austin Peay and Middle Tennessee, little did the Dawgs know what awaited them that Saturday afternoon at Tiger Stadium. This being the only game I was able to attend last year, it was a pleasantly cool afternoon of covertly sipping Old Charter 10 from my friends purse, watching Mr Heisman Trophy Candidate running for his life and frequently having to pull the Tiger stadium turf out of his face-mask. It was a brilliantly called & executed dirt stomping. I left Baton Rouge that night about as proud to be a Tiger as I had been since 2003.

LSU ended the season spanking and sending home the 22-0 self proclaimed Mythical 2017 National Champion UFC Knights in the Fiesta Bowl. Bless Their Little Hearts.

So what can we expect from the upcoming SEC season? 

My short thoughts:

This year I intentionally did not read the sports media's summer preseason click bait and hyping of team story lines. In doing so it seems I missed all the off-season silliness like Tom Herman whining about opposing players not being sentenced to life in prison for using the “Horns Down” gesture or Nick Saban's newest creative excuse for not winning a NC, and which Florida players have been arrested.  Preseason polls, rankings and power indicators before anyone's played a snap are purely conjecture and mean absolutely nothing, except to make every other conference hate the SEC for taking up so many spots.  LOL!!!  

So my thoughts here are based solely on what little I did read last weekend of this coming season and influenced directly by how much Rue De Perle Bordeaux 14' I've consumed this evening. 

SEC West - Plainly put, until SEC teams can give the Crimson Tide a two loss season, it a forgone conclusion they are and will be the top dog of the SEC. If Tua stays healthy, with their schedule, we could be looking at another 12-0 season for Alabama....If Tua stays healthy.

Jimbo Fisher is recruiting well at A&M and has cleaned up the affirmative action mess he was left with. With a experienced QB, the Aggies could be especially difficult to deal with. Clepson and Alabama are early loses and their schedule is brutal. But where have we heard that stumbling block before??

Auburn, will be Auburn. They too have a brutal schedule, and a freshman QB.  But, as he did at eleswhere, Kevin Steele is still building top 10 Defenses there, and that alone can help keep you in the game.  With Gus in his goofy visor and atrocious wardrobe callin' plays from the sidelines, anything can happen, and probably will....Beep Beep

There's lots of expectations in Baton Rouge right now after this spring LSU scored the addition of N.O. Saints pass offense assistant Joe Brady, and College Hall of Fame coach John Robinson as a game plan consultant. Joe Burrows has proven he's not shy and will call his own number if necessary, and is said to have a command of the offense not seen in Baton Rouge since 2011.

In the East - I'll be straight up and say it, I'm going against the grain. Until they prove otherwise,  I'm not convince Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs are a top 5 team they are said to be. Polls before week 3 are just conjecture. Name recognition plays a good part here I think. I'm not saying they not a good team, I'm saying some have bought the hype. Diogenes Don't.  

But I will say this - with the exit of the Squirrel McElwain at Florida, I believe Dan Mullan can recruit better there than he ever could at Cowbell U. and is going to bring the Gators quickly back to prominence in the East. This year? Who knows which Fippy Franks will show up. I'd pick the Gators to win the SEC East, but I hear there may have a depth problem, among others, and Georgia does has a puff schedule. We'll know Nov 2nd.

I'll go no further, and mean no disrespect to the rest of the SEC Teams. Rather I will leave it at this; looking at the SEC schedules, I'm not totally ruling out a sleeper who could reek havoc. I firmly believe there is going to be some really big upset wins and unexpected losses this year. The odds are in favor.  And the wine agrees. 

-----------------------------------------

I do plan on trying to set aside some time to do football post this season, if only for the more important games, along with my prediction for the SEC and a few games for our long suffering DMF  Big10 fans, like YankeeBubba & Michael L. and a few others.

Here's a little Preseason Humor For Yous Guys........



So as we await the beginning of 150th season of the sport of College football, and the 97th LSU home opener in Tiger stadium, I end with what ESPN Sports named one of the best traditions of South Eastern Conference Football, one which brings a deafening roar rising from one of the great cathedrals of college football, and one that first time visitors to Tiger Stadium rarely soon forget:  The prologue to every LSU home game  - The immortal words of public-address announcer Dan Borne:

"Ladies and Gentlemen, The Sun Has Found Its Home In The Western Sky.

It Is Now, Saturday Night In Death Valley!"

A President Marianne Sparkleshine Stardust Williamson Will Crack Down on Guns and Whiteness with New Dept. of Peace

Marianne 2020 - Tomorrow For A Better Tomorrow...or Something.

Marianne Williamson is by far the most entertaining candidate in the Dems 2020 lineup. The New Age guru has said enough is enough, and if elected president she will establish a new "Department of Peace" to both disarm Americans and stomp out pesky white privilege. Sure, a lot of the other democrats are crazy too, but none of them come close to this level of hilarious insanity.

Williamson announced on her website the new bureaucracy:

"Marianne Williamson, as President, will work with the Congress to create a cabinet-level U.S. Department of Peace. Ending the scourge of violence in the United States and across the planet requires more than suppressing violence. Lasting peace requires its active and systematized cultivation at every level of government and society. The U.S. Department of Peace will coordinate and spur the efforts we need to make our country and the world a safer place. Nothing short of broad-scale investment and government reorientation can truly turn things around."

And she even worked up a sweet logo:

Nothing says serious government business like pink, does it?

"Both domestically and internationally, we must dramatically ramp up the use of proven powers of peace-building, including dialogue, mediation, conflict resolution, economic and social development, restorative justice, public health approaches to violence prevention, trauma-informed systems of care, social and emotional learning in schools, and many others."

So under a President Williamson administration we are going to use mediation to take out the terrorists? I told you she is entertaining.

"As its mission, the U.S. Department of Peace will; hold peace as an organizing principle; promote justice and democratic principles to expand human rights; coordinate restorative justice programs; address white supremacy; strengthen nonmilitary means of peacemaking; work to prevent armed conflict; address the epidemic of gun violence; develop new structures of nonviolent dispute resolution; and proactively and systematically promote national and international conflict prevention, mediation, and resolution. In short, we must wage peace."

Someone should let her know that cracking down on gun ownership and whiteness are the exact opposite things as expanding human rights. I realize that I’m not a granola-eating crystal-gazer, but I don’t actually see how it’s possible to “address” all of these issues without extreme violence from an oppressive government. People are kinda attached to their 1st and 2nd Amendment rights and aren’t going to surrender them without a fight. It’s hard to disarm people using meditation and positive psychic energy.

It gets even more Orwellian because according to Williamson, the Department of Peace will essentially be in charge of the entire U.S. Government:

"The Secretary of Peace will serve as a member of the National Security Council and will be empowered to coordinate with all Cabinet agencies – including the Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Education, Justice, and State, and the new Department of Children and Youth." 

Wait. The Department of Children and Youth?

"The Department will create and establish a Peace Academy, modeled after the military service academies, which will provide a 4-year concentration in peace education. Graduates will be required to serve 5 years in public service in programs dedicated to domestic or international nonviolent conflict resolution."

Nine years is an awful lot to ask from someone to be a positive psychic energy warrior, even from the soyest of boys. As far as I can tell, Williamson plans on a massive expansion of the federal government to force everyone to be a touchy feely space cadet just like her. I wonder if dissenters will be sent to a “re-education” camps.

The ball has now in the court of  Lizzy, Joe, Kamala and Spartacus to see if anyone can out-crazy Williamson. I have faith that not even they can top this.

The Media Opens Up A Second Front in War On DJT

Having put all their resources into the failed Russian Collusion Myth, the media had to quickly pivot to their rock-ribbed standby, the well rehearsed traditional racism charge they now push 24/7. But in between yelling RACISM they're ramping up a second front, one democrats welcome the media help push - create fear in the stock market and consumers and hope it creates a self-fulfilling prophecy of downturn in the economy.

Why wouldn’t they try and convince investors to fear a collapse in the market and therefore reduce the risk they would take in that market? We’ve heard them base their assessment in this most recent claim the economy is heading into a recession by looking at the inverted bond yield, which of course is a big scary economic word that could easily be used to plead toward the ignorance of voters, because for the most part nobody knows what the hell that means. What the average American hears is your job is in jeopardy, and we are all going to hell in a hand basket because TRUMP!

The media consistently uses the ignorance of their audience as a weapon as we have all witnessed for over two years, and now take a cherry picked data point and a group of willing “experts” to spread doom and gloom and potentially create fear in the market, even when it’s not warranted. You know, some of the same people who told us 2% GDP was the “new normal”. 

Let’s not forget that New York Times Exalted Economist, Nobel prize winner and Two Time "DMF ASSHAT OF THE YEAR" Award Winner Paul Krugman, claimed the economy was going into recession in a piece he wrote the day after Trump was elected. The Democrats and their media sycophants need the market to falter. With the large group of economic dunces they’ve fielded for 2020, none have presented anything even resembling a coherent policy aside from "Donald Trump is the devil and if you don’t vote for me all your children will die". So a poor economy is their best bet for winning the election and they will do whatever it takes to win regardless of whose lives they disrupt or destroy.

As little refresher, here are just a few examples I pulled up of the times the Democrat media claimed we were heading into a recession:

MSNBC December 2017: GOP tax bill could trigger a 'recession': Rep. Tim Ryan: http://on.msnbc.com/2jTQiiD 

Washington Post May 2017:  Chance of a recession by 2022 is 70 percent, according to this major investment firm http://wapo.st/2rFZ5eh

Washington Post January 2018: Opinion: The Trump Recession is coming: Democrats score their wins when Republican presidents stumble into late-term economic woes. http://wapo.st/2F9kBvM

Washington Post January 2018: "The risks of a recession are rising — and Trump might be to blame" https://wapo.st/2FFx3FY via @postopinions

CNN August 2018: Housing and rates are worrying some economists that a recession is looming. "We're not there yet, but this is what led us to the housing crash," one economist said https://cnn.it/2KjFhT6 MSNBC

December 2018: Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Shiller tells @AliVelshi that the economy may be due for a recession https://on.msnbc.com/2RFpJNI

It is prudent to ask with this information why we should believe the media and their “experts” who have been claiming a recession will coming any minute since Trump was elected. No reasonable person can look at this and not conclude that the media has tried to create fear rather report prosperity. I think at this point it’s quite obvious that the democrats are now attempting to dream a recession into existence..........And All Y'all RAYSSIST!

This One Has Race Hoax Written All Over It

Those who have paid any attention to the spate of Race Hoaxes, if just in the last year or so, have probably noticed that the media perpetuate racial animosity through breathless reporting of these alleged incidents and used to lecture the nation about the evils of “just another day in America.”  But like petty criminals, race hoaxers usually are stupid people. And once everything comes out in the wash, very evident clues shine bright.

Sometimes, like in the example below, clues can come from verbage, (like is heard everyday and night on any MSNBC & CNN panel discussion) and maybe timing of the hoax. (the leftist pivot to 'White Supremacy ') This one looks very suspicious to me. You tell me.  (bold emphasis below is mine)   

The Hill - Police in Charlotte, N.C., are investigating after a threatening letter was sent to numerous lawmakers of color in the city, including Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles (D) . City officials told The Hill that African American members of Charlotte's city council received a letter filled with racist remarks, advocating that the lawmakers, all of whom are Democrats, be "tarred and feathered and run out of town." 

The letters, which made numerous references to the lawmakers' ethnicities, were also sent to Councilwoman Dimple Ajmera (D), who is of Indian descent, according to a city spokesperson. 

Among the topics in the letter, the author expressed praise for President Trump's recent tweets aimed at four minority congresswomen that urged them to "go back" to other countries."I do believe you need to go back to where you came from if you don't BEGIN to show this great country some RESPECT and HONOR," the letter read. "We'll round you up and send you screaming to the concentration camps where you belong," it continued.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if this turns out to be the act of a failed journalist, or out of work Black Studies major. Hoax or not, there's no need at all for this kinda crap!

It also worth noting that Charlotte N.C. will be the site of the 2020 Republican National Convention. Could it be that it's never to early to start stirring up the natives......

Never Mind, Grandma. It Was Just a Stunt.

What a piece of shit work this woman is. After all the crap that went on yesterday,  just a few short hours after Rashida Tlaib finally obtained permission from the Israeli government to travel to the nation by shamelessly pleading "This could be my last opportunity to see my grandmother", the notoriously anti-Semitic issued a statement on Twitter rejecting the offer.  She explained that she now suddenly refused to travel to Israel and spouted the same sort of anti-Semitic rhetoric about alleged Israeli “oppression” and “racism” that had initially inspired Benjamin Netanyahu to block her visit to the Jewish state in the first place.

"Silencing me & treating me like a criminal is not what she wants for me. It would kill a piece of me. I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in–fighting against racism, oppression & injustice."

Israeli Interior Minister Aryeh Deri only agreed to allow Omar into Israel after she agreed to his request that she not "promote boycotts against Israel during her visit." The request was made because of both her support for the anti-Semitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, as well the fact that her and Omar’s visit to Israel was to be funded by a group whose members "have expressed support for terrorism against Israel."

The abrupt turnaround provoked a barrage of criticism from those convinced that Tlaib and fellow anti-Semitic rag head Ilhan Omar’s planned trip was never geared toward the purposes of promoting international diplomacy or meeting with family.

In a statement issued after Tlaib’s rejection went viral, Interior Minister Deri posited:

"I approved her request as a gesture of goodwill on a humanitarian basis, but it was just a provocative request, aimed at bashing the State of Israel. Apparently her hate for Israel overcomes her love for her grandmother."

She's an absolute embarrassment to America an the United States Congress.  May camel turds be upon you.....

Beto Campaign Reset Número Dos....or Quizás Tres ??

The Raging Beta Boy Says 

He's Not Done Yet!

PJM - Remember when Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke ran for president? You might not, there's a lot of other stuff going on these days. But he did! He started strong, with a Vanity Fair cover and everything.

All the people who were excited about Beto losing to Ted Cruz started getting excited about him losing to Trump. But for months now, Beto has been trailing his younger, smarter, gayer rival Pete Buttigig in the polls. 

The Under-50 White Guy lane is too crowded. Beto's presidential aspirations have gone from "unlikely" to "very unlikely." Things have not been going well. And you know what that means. It's time for a campaign reset!

Alexander Burns@NYT:

Beto O’Rourke introduced himself to the country as a changed candidate on Thursday, with his presidential campaign recast as a moral crusade against President Trump in the aftermath of a mass shooting in El Paso, his hometown. 

Mr. O’Rourke... said he would abandon the relatively traditional approach he has so far taken — with limited success... 

Instead, Mr. O’Rourke said he would now plan his political activities around confronting Mr. Trump in direct and personal terms, and highlighting what Mr. O’Rourke views as the injustices of Mr. Trump’s administration.

Here's a clip of his speech this morning. At first I thought it was a deepfake -- there's a creepy "uncanny valley" effect, where he looks almost human but not quite -- but then I remembered that Beto really does talk like this.

ICYMI - Full speech by @BetoORourke is airing now on C-SPAN. https://t.co/uqXVf3iPcv https://t.co/bRkDBqyM0T

— CSPAN (@cspan) August 15, 2019

If you weren't excited about the Beto campaign before, I'll sure bet you are now.

And why wouldn't he blame Trump for the actions of a mass-murderer? It's a time-honored tradition for Democrats to blame Republicans for acts of violence committed in Democrat-controlled areas.

Beto wants to be the all-white Obama, but he just doesn't have it. Obama's one and only talent was lying with a straight face, telling enormous whoppers smoothly enough to fool enough people enough of the time. I didn't like him and he didn't convince me, but he was not a complete spaz like this guy. Beto is just off-putting. But what else is Beto going to do? This is all he's got. He has no marketable skills and nobody really likes him. He has nothing to lose by staying in the race. He's never going to win, so he may as well drag down as many of his rivals as possible. He's like a Democrat version of John Kasich.

Just kidding. The Democrat version of John Kasich is John Kasich.

Sorry. Tank Abrams Will Not Be Your Next President

EARL Done This

In what has become one of the more hilarious aspects of American politics, are hacks with not a snowball's chance in hell of winning a particular office, ceremoniously announcing they won't seek that office. It's even more ludicrous when someone who can't even win a state wide election announces they won't seek an even higher office, like they would actually have a chance to begin with.

Take Stacey Abrams for example, a woman with so little integrity as to refuse to even now concede the Georgia election to the legally elected Governor. In a speech in Las Vegas yesterday, she announced she would not run for president, as if anyone cared, but told the New York Times she "would be honored to be considered by any nominee" as his or her running mate. I know it lonely being a fake governor, but don't hold your breath Tank.

In that same speech Abrams channeled her inner-racist having this to say: 

"This is our country. And our voices will be heard, and in 2020, we will shout louder and harder and more than we ever have before, because this is our time and the power is ours and we will not let anyone take it from us.”

Who is this 'we' she speaks of??

The Republican National Committee responded wryly to her openness to being vice president. "I’d have to check the constitutionality of being both vice president and governor of Georgia at the same time being that she still has not conceded her 2018 gubernatorial loss," RNC spokesman Steve Guest told the Washington Free Beacon.  As for now, she has decided to continue her campaign of whining about losing and helping create a farcical narrative for media consumption of voter suppression (what we call protecting the rights of legal citizen's votes) as an excuse for Dems losing in 2020. 

If Abrams actually cared about the integrity of elections, she'd finally concede the governor's race she lost by 55,000 votes. Even liberal election law experts have dismissed her claims as irresponsible and without merit.

Here's Tank being a sore loser and threatening our democracy, according to Democrats.
Your rules, Democrats.......

Running The Clown Car Through The Wash and Burning Piles Of Money

Tom Steyer, of Tom Steyer Says Americans Need Trump Impeached Because Tom Steyer Say's So fame, has already dropped 20 Million bucks on his impeachment fetish. But billionaire activist Tom Steyer enjoys setting his money on fire. It's so pretty! He's just dropped $2.9 million carpet bombing Facebook with ads since he launched his vanity campaign to be your next President. That's three times as much as Krissy Gillibrand spent reminding Facebook users she's blonde and still exists. While Steyer had his checkbook out anyway, he's dropped another $7 million on TV commercials over the past month. That's the best grassroots campaign money can buy, baby!

He's targeting the early primary states of Iowa, Nevada, and South Carolina, and his "Charlotte's Web"-style ad blitz has voters going THAT'S SOME BILLIONAIRE RIGHT THERE! He's reached the required two percent minimum in three DNC-approved polls. He needs to hit that mark in one more and he'll have scored his golden ticket to the next Democratic debate stage.  With cash, anything is possible. That heart-warming reality is what inspires us to participate in the democratic process! 

Steyer boasted on MSNBC's 'Morning with Squinty & Meat Puppet' that he'd also met the other arbitrary DNC requirement of 130,000 individual donors.

By running the Clown Car through the wash, the DNC's debate weed-out process isn't totally useless. It should keep Marianne Sparkleshine Stardust Williamson off the debate stage in September. She is just using the platform to communicate with the gaseous beings from her home planet through coded messages disguised as crack-scented self-help jargon. As soon as they come pick her up, she'll suspend her campaign, I'm sure.

As of today, only nine of the two dozen Democrats running are set for the next debates. Four of them are already white guys. But there are no billionaires. We guess Steyer will bring a new perspective. He could make the debates more engaging by offering candidates the indecent proposal of $1 million in cash to immediately drop out of the race.

Steyer also wants to overturn Citizens United because he doesn't think it's fair for anyone to compete with labor unions and taxpayer funded for-profits like Plan Parenthood who give millions to the dems every election cycle. No Sir! Just individuals with the economic might of a corporation. He believes so strongly in public financing of campaigns he's vowed to spend $100 million or more of his personal funds to run for president. We're not even sure what his point is. It's like when Donald Duck tried to convince his nephews not to smoke by making them smoke a pack of cigars all at once.

On the Squinty & Meat Puppet show, Steyer treated all to an extended boredom remix of his non-hit single, "I'm An Outsider, So I Can Fix Everything." It's not even an original track. Go home Tom, play some Tennis. The Dems are crazy enough already.....

A Humorous Picture That Exemplifies the Lizzy Warren Campaign (Minus The Shakes)

Got to credit the AP photographer, John Locher, with deliberately framing his photograph to catch text that is relevant, meaningful, and humorous: Yeah, she's so happy to be striding in waving a big "Hi, I'm here with the old socialist idea of taking your money." Even in that incredibly depressing Nevada environment, walled in with teal-trimmed white jail house cinder blocks, she looks more like someone who just made bail then a presidential candidate.

Bet You Won't See This Story on CNN

Anyone who has wasted time watching either CNN or MSNBC knows who April Ryan is. White House correspondent for National Urban Radio (what ever that is) and an obnoxious cable news channel racial flame thrower, she's been one of the loudest of the media mouths to criticize DJT's attack on Fake News, and a leading proponent of the delusional idea DJT is suppressing free speech. She also has gone as far as insist that as members of the media they are in danger of physical attacks because people believe they don't tell the truth anymore, as if that is a new development. 

So it seems quite ironic, not to mention a wee bit of hypocrisy, that she would be involved in such action as happen at a recent event where she giving a speech. A reporter with New Brunswick Today, an independent community news organization, had his camera removed at her signal, and then moments later physically attacked by Ryan’s personal goon at an event held at The Heldrich Hotel in downtown New Brunswick, New Jersey.

Video footage (below) captured by the outlet shows Ryan, complete with her newest wig-hat, starting to deliver a keynote speech right before the altercation occurred. As she begins speaking, she glances in the direction of New Brunswick Today reporter Charlie Kratovil’s camera in an odd manner. Soon after, her security approaches her, and she nods approvingly. Ryan then just stands there silent up until the moment someone snatches the camera. Ryan then continues to speak.



According to New Brunswick Today, the reporter was invited media and that his camera had been “rolling the entire night” until Ryan directed her security guard to snatch it from him.

Looking like a ghetto street mugging, complete with your obligatory yelling black female..........hotel footage shows the later part of the confrontation outside the room as Kratovil tries to retrieve his camera and gets bodily thrown out the door. 

"If my invitation was a mistake, it was one that was repeated, confirmed in writing by the person who sent me the invitations, affirmed by the authorized on-site event personnel, and consistently reinforced over the course of several days leading up to the event, and on the night in question." 

Until you look a little closer, do you understand why not one mention of this incident in the news even though it involved a black woman and self important member of the media. The event was titled 4th Annual New Jersey Parent Summit, hosted by "Project READY", a minority run non-profit pushing racial equity & diversity training and multicultural (there's that word again) curriculum.

This event at the Heldrich Hotel was not for white people. New Brunswick Today sent a melanin challenged reporter with a camera to a closed door, invite only event thrown by a progressive regressive education organization partnering with the black dominated school district, with the keynote speech by an instigator and well known member of the leftist media, an event where things could be said openly that others of us can't say, and certainly don't want them recorded. Ryan's brand of toxic racial, anti-Trump triads on-air border on insanity, even though you can tell she's holding back, something she probably wouldn't do among a friendly minority audience......as long as there are no cameras rolling.

Meanwhile, with her mind eaten up with TDS and newly felt elitism of having her own bodyguard to order around, April Ryan still has her seat reserved in the WH briefing room, despite the fact she's a disruption, disrespectful, a bigot, fat and ugly and a major league bore.....

Good Monday Morning

Lefties Getting Themselves Snipped Because of Climate Change.

Leftwingers getting their shootin' tubes snipped and tubes tied because of climate worries.....seems like a win-win situation to me..... except for one thing. Social Justice Warriors are very often childless, most often due to selfishness or just immaturity. But they desperately want to indoctrinate your children. Having none of their own, they seek professions where they feel empowered to indoctrinate children and alienate them away from sanity.

But, excluding indirect effects, I approve! In fact, if I weren't so lazy, I'd create a site, pretending to be a leftwing climate-panic site, advocating for vasectomies and very early hysterectomies for the SJW crew.

America - Land of the Brave, Home of the Free Land, where half the population have become twelve year old girl having a panic attack cuz they're scared of ducks or something. "Three generations of imbeciles are enough," said Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. in Buck v. Bell, and he had a point.

But some others aren't so down with the struggle.....
