Political Primary Turnout No Indication of General Election Victory

For all those who believe that party turnout in the primary is predictive of general election victory in the Fall, a corrective. From Larry Sabato:

By the way, 1972, 1980 and 1984 weren't just Republican victories. They were smashing, devastating defeats for the Democrats. 1972 and 1984 are, in fact, the two biggest electoral college victories of all time. 1984 was 525-13, a total blowout.

Donald Trump Announces First Pick For Official WH Staff

We Created Mayberry, They Create Another Soweto

"Most of planet Earth is occupied by third world people. They live in squalor, cannot organize governments or institutions, suffer constant crime and poverty. This is not a change; they have been this way since the dawn of time. Our ancestors called them “savages” and treated them like human-monkey hybrids in recognition of their inability to govern themselves.

Since the advent of Leftism in the West, it has been mandatory to consider all people equal. First, all people of each tribe must be made equal, so that class, caste and natural distinctions between ability are abolished. Next, the races, sexes and sexual proclivities must be made equal. This obsessive brain-virus turns people into fanatical zombies chanting “equal, equal”!

We Used To Institutionalize People Like This.....

America's Trees are Racist!

“Black people also wanted to go out in the woods and eat apples from the trees,  but black people were lynched on the trees. The tree became a big symbol.” Black people are triggered by trees and suffer Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome flashbacks." 

The origin of the bizarre racist lynching theory of national parks appears to be Carolyn Finney. Finney was an actress noted for, apparently, little more than an appearance in The Nutt House.  

Then she became a cause célèbre for race activists when she was denied tenure by Berkeley’s Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management because her work didn’t meet academic standards. (i.e. she's to crazy even for U.C. Berkeley!) Her supporters blamed racism, rather than her academic shortcomings, and protested vocally.

These days she’s a diversity advisor to the U.S. National Parks Advisory Board. What wasn’t good enough for UC Berkeley is good enough for national parks and your tax money. She is also the author of Black Faces, White Spaces. In it she claims that “oppression and violence" against black people in forests and other green spaces.  

Finney cites the work of Joy DeGruy Leary who invented a Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome that she claims black people suffer from. Affected by PTSS, black people experience “fear and mistrust of forests and other green spaces.” According to Finney, the tree is a racist symbol to black people.

Finney also claims that Theodore Roosevelt’s vision of preserving beautiful natural landscapes was rooted in “privilege”. Or as Fearn put it, “Preserving wild places is a white concept, going back to Rome.”

What shall we do about the racist trees? Finney is front and center at the new “inclusion” initiative. In addition to complaining about the racist trees, the inclusion initiative also claimed that national parks alienate Latinos because of the “color of the uniforms that rangers wear.”  According to the 'Hispanic Access Foundation', they look too much like the border patrol. Even though the uniforms are actually completely different. But much like the lack of lynchings at Yellowstone National Park, the truth doesn’t matter here. The accusations are absurd. And yet the payoffs keep coming. And there’s little doubt that this latest “inclusiveness” initiative will also pay off. Our parks will suffer. Our slimiest politicians will prosper.

This is what this is really about -The Obama era has rotted the Federal government with radical figures who are at war with fundamental American concepts and values. They intend to use their power to destroy those concepts and values. Aside from the usual diversity hiring push and buying from minority businesses in the “inclusiveness” proposals, not to mention nonsense about racist trees and scary uniforms, is a move to divert the focus to urban development.  

It’s not about racist tree symbolism or uniform colors. It’s about creating positions for people like Carolyn Finney or Mickey Fearn so they can lecture us on how parks are privilege and nature is racist. It’s about finding yet another unlikely target for baseless claims of racism to be milked for money, grants, ads and contracts.Then there’s the flow of money to “community organizations” to engage “culturally diverse communities”. The Obama era has seen the “Sharptoning” of America as the same ugly shakedown scams that were being practiced in New York or Chicago are suddenly national policy. This is the Sharptoning of the National Park Service. It’s happening in every agency and arm of government. We just don’t notice it.

The Left's Predictable Response to Trump's Supreme List

Wednesday afternoon, the real-estate mogul rolled out eleven names of would-be members of the highest court in the land and it was a veritable dream team of conservative judiciary memebers:  Steven Colloton, Diana Sykes, Allison Eid, Raymond Gruender, Thomas Hardiman, Raymond Kethledge, Don Willett, Joan Larsen, Thomas Lee, William Pryor, and David Stras.

And in no surprise response from the Daily Beast writers Betsy Woodruff, a notorious feminist, and Asawin Suebsaeng, an Asian Sissy Boy formerly of the Mother Jones Rag, who got their panties in a wad  over the fact there were no minorities on the list. And they did what was pretty much expected......say irrelevant sh*t trying to claim moral high ground. 

"One potential justice is an expert on Trump’s favorite conversation topic: the scandals of Bill Clinton. Steven Colloton, a George W. Bush appointee to the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals, got started in the world of conservative politicking when he was a lieutenant to Kenneth Starr on the independent investigation of the Clintons’ Whitewater investments." 

Okay, I see no problem here. The man helped look into possible political corruption and lawlessness. (not something Woodruff  and Suebsaeng  are very familiar with considering our present Dept.of Justice). Guess they are to young to remember people actually went to jail over this little Whitewater matter.

"Another name on the list is William Pryor,  of the  U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.  He is the most likely name on the list to draw liberals’ intense ire. Democratic senator Chuck Schumer once called Pryor “ideological warrior.” Pryor has stated that the cultural acceptance of gay sex would lead down a dark path to legalizing bestiality, and that government “should not be in the business of public education". He also called Roe v. Wade "the worst abomination of constitutional law in our history".

Sounds like a man with some sense and moral compass to me, and has understanding of what the constitutional roll of the Federal Gov. is as opposed to the right of the States. And I had to laugh at the use of  “ideological warrior” coming from the left. Ironic, ain't it?  Of course, no DB article would be complete without a 'rah rah' for their favorite Bathhouse Boy and his transformation agenda....

The court currently has a vacancy to fill, and President Obama has nominated Merrick Garland, chief judge of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, for the spot. He is widely characterized as a middle-of-the-road, moderate justice, and a consensus candidate with whom GOPers could theoretically have made peace.

They are speaking of this guy. What the Daily Beast failed to mention is, Obama's nominee Judge Garland  in 2007 voted to undo a D.C. Circuit court decision striking down one of the most restrictive gun laws in the nation. The District of Columbia government had passed a ban on individual handgun possession, which even prohibited guns kept in one’s own house for self-defense. That's not a " middle-of-the-road, moderate justice " by any means. 

Garland  would swing the court leftward and poses the most danger to one of Justice Scalia’s most important opinions, D.C. vs. Heller, which affirmed that the Second Amendment confers an individual right to keep and bear arms. Garland  also voted to uphold an illegal Clinton-era regulation that created an improvised gun registration requirement.

The way I look at it, we should follow the lead of the left. They saw Thurgood Marshall's seat as the "Black Seat", to be replace only by another Black of the same liberal mind.  Just the same way they will claim Buzzy Ginsburg's seat is the "Feminist Seat", Kagan's seat represents the Queers and the Gender Confused, and Sotomayor's seat is the "Hispanic Seat" on the court, we should claim the former Scalia seat is the "Balding Constitutional Conservative Scholar White Male Seat" and that should be of high considered in any replacement of Scalia.
