Trump Pulls Out. Media Left Unsatisifed.

They were all primed, the blood rushing to their tiny bits. They had their experts(?) lined up, their fire-breathing democrat favorites all ready to go, the scripts written with the "Trump Is A Warmonger" and a "Racist for Attacking Iran"...etc etc (I'm sure Don Lemon wasted some valued cuddle time with his boyfriend to write a nasty little script for tonight's CNN). All of DC was waiting for an imminent strike on Iran after the FAA closed Iranian airspace over the Gulf of Oman to US flights.

But then, the New York Times reported that DJT had changed his mind, ordering planes already in the air(?) headed to take out Iranian missile and radar targets to stand down. Trump was concerned about a "disproportionate" response. Some media sycophants were beside themselves. He didn't realize before that someone might get all died or hurt they said???

One analyst just couldn't believe Trump "would be concerned about the fate of a bunch innocent Muslims", and "we're still waiting on that scientific, NOT WORD documentation of the shoot down." But the Washington Post was willing to take the word of  commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard's aerospace division, who says that the US drone was accompanied by a manned surveillance plane, which the Iranians compassionately decided not to shoot down.

The media is NOT HAPPY that they've been in a circle jerk, flogging this splendid little war all week, and a chance to yell 'Warmonger', only to have the rug pulled out from under them. The least he could have done was tell them that the new script calls for "proportionate response," or whatever in their infinite wisdom they chose to call it. Guess this calls for more time on the couch and another Therapy Session for many in the media already on the edge. It makes me wonder what they would have said about Barack Obama's false machismo and the psychology of his indecisiveness had he waffled on an attack and pulled back before the shooting started because he found the response unacceptable in that it might kill civilians.

OH Wait, He Did.

Headline of the Day: Shark Bites Personal Injury Lawyer

A Georgia 'Slip & Fall" Personal Injury Lawyer, Gene Brooks, is hearing lawyer shark jokes from colleagues and friends on social media as he recovers from a shark bite that sent him to the emergency room.  Brooks, of Savannah, says a shark bit him as he was swimming in the Wilmington River on Sunday, reports Savannah Now. He received 23 stitches, 20 of them in his arm and three in his chest. Experts say the likely culprit was a bull shark that can survive in fresh and salt water. The shark may have mistaken Brooks for food because of murky waters caused by heavy rain.

Brooks told the State that the shark likely decided it didn’t want Brooks after discovering he was too bony. “It wasn’t a full bite, but the teeth hit me in the chest and underneath my arm. Brooks, who has practiced law for more than 35 years, insists that the shark is not guilty of a personal attack. He has lived on the water for 28 years and has had no previous problem with sharks.

A picture on social media shows Brooks bandaged up, smiling and holding a Landshark beer provided by a neighbor. With apologies to singer Jimmy Buffet, he saw no fins to the left or fins to the right. He’s taking the lawyer jokes in stride.  

There has been no word as to if the shark died.

Thinking of Complimenting Chick-Fil-A in Public Again?

Zuckerberg Buys Alcatraz Island to House Violators of New

 Facebook Hate Speech Policy

By Harvey@IMAO

MENLO PARK (AP) – As part of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s plan to have the most aggressive anti-hate speech policy on social media, the billionaire entrepreneur purchased the entire island of Alcatraz, including its prison facilities, with the intention of housing policy violators there. 

Zuckerberg explained his decision to finally put some much needed “teeth” into a policy that is often just words and air on other platforms. “Facebook opposes hate speech,” said Zuckerberg. “Also hate agents, hate statements, hate signals, hate ideologies, hate entities, hate symbols, hate slogans, hate paraphernalia, and neutral statements about the aforementioned hate items. 

However, until now, all we’ve been able to do is deplatform violators. But then they just go to Gab and go right on hate-speeching, because the stupid government won’t let us control everyone’s speech even though it’d be best for everyone.” “Then I thought, well, they sure couldn’t do what they wanted if they were in prison. Epiphany! I’ll just buy a prison and put all the people I don’t like in it.”

Joe Biden is Really Confusing the Hell Out Of Democrats

Joe Biden - Former VP Code Named -'Silver Plugs'

Who of us really knows what's going on in that vast wilderness of Joe Biden's brain cavity these days? He is embarrassing not just himself but everyone who once loved him as the gaffe prone Court Jester of the Obama Administration. Now that he's in the chase to be HMFIC of the country, he really has the leftists upset and they believe he could danced on tables in nothing but a G-string and retain more of his dignity than schmoozing Wall Street tycoons by saying "what I've found is rich people are just as patriotic as poor people.....'. Biden went on to promise his wealthy overlords that their lifestyles won't change if he's elected president. Nothing at all, in fact, would "fundamentally change." Put that on a bumper sticker. He's gone from riding shotgun on "hope and change" to only offering hope of no change.

Joe confronted the charge that he's too "old-fashioned" for today's Democratic Party by speaking fondly of the good old days when he happily collaborated with DEMOCRAT segregationists. Biden bragged about his relationship with Mississippi Senator, DEMOCRAT James O. Eastland, a leading foe of integration, which he thought would lead to "mongrelization." He described black people as an "inferior race.  So what exactly is he bragging about here?

Spartacus Booker

Biden also boasted about his relationship with Georgia Senator, DEMOCRAT Herman Talmadge. Talmadge was so racist that as governor he ordered schools closed rather than let black people in the "good" ones. Of course we all know who jumped on that. Spartacus Booker. His pants are in one hell of wad right now! Has Joe forgotten that he's running for the Democrat nomination? You're not suppose to talk about that, Joe! It's the party that leads African American black peoples of color around by the nose.  What's next? Scheduled a speech to the National Organization for Women about how well he got along with Bill Cosby and O.J. Simpson despite their differences?

Here's what Mr. Electable accomplished during his trip down segregation lane: He reminded everyone that he's old, which we already knew but we don't need rubbed in our faces. If most of the good friends you talk about are all dead, you're either a middle-aged rock star or an ancient politician. Worse, he reminded voters that straight-up white supremacists was always the hallmark of the Democratic Party.

Democrats criticize Bernie Sanders for his membership in their party. They point out that Elizabeth Warren only became a Democrat when she was in her late 40s. But if a lifelong Democrat like Biden is going to praise the racist legacy of his party,  then "Democrat" is just a label. I think Joe will eventually lose support and fold like a cheap lawn chair. His life long rambling inanities and Foot-in-Mouth disease is not a selling point. If he doesn't.....it could very well be a TRUMP LANDSLIDE. 

As California Goes.... So Goes The Nation. Or So They say....

EARL DONE THIS

The illustrious Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, Monday took an opportunity to try and out-stupid his fellow leftist by proclaiming "Republicans Will Go Into The Waste Bin Of Society". And just so happens as Newsom bangs his shoe about the America we all know also going under to their ideal America,  his state's pension fund is circling the bowl because they rejected tobacco and guns, and the doubling of that state's budget in just eight short years. The Governor compared the current political situation in the United States to that of California in the 90s, then predicted the eventual demise of the national Republican Party.

During a wide-ranging interview with Politico published Monday, the former San Francisco mayor took some time to break from state politics to weigh in on what he considers a bright future for Democrats at the national level similar to what they’ve experienced of late in his state. “America in 2019 is California in the 1990s,” said Newsom. 

“The xenophobia, the nativism, the fear of ‘the other.’ Scapegoating. Talking down or past people. The hysteria. And so, we’re not going to put up with that. We are going to push back.” Likely referring at least in part to Proposition 187, which was divisive then but still passed by 59 percent of voters, Newsom told Politico that Republicans at the national level “are into the politics of what California was into in the 1990s … and they’ll go the same direction — into the waste bin of history, the way Republicans of the ’90s have gone. That’s exactly what will happen to this crop of national Republicans.”

Surely the Governor wasn't suggesting America become California of 2019, that of used needle and feces strewn streets of his former power base of San Fran, or the city of Lost Angles, cause I'm pretty sure middle America is not for being turned into a garbage dump, or public restrooms for the homeless, drag queen story hours and illegal immigrants he so desires we except. No, Mr. Newsom, it's politicians like you who endanger America, and at the same time create more Republicans in doing so....

........you and the horse you rode in on!

Democratic Socialism - Communism for Slow Learners

Denver City Council Member Candi CdeBaca 

When Barky Obama proclaimed a "Fundamental Transformation of America" most took it as a cultural reference. They were correct. Just look at the fabric of America 10 year past. We are now bombarded with the homosexual lifestyle and interracial couples on television, and all out war on white males in advertising and media. But some took his statement differently.

The college educated of the Obama years were spoon fed the downside of capitalism. Sighting as the ideal alternative, European Democratic Socialism. Of course, the downside of this system was passed over. Sure, in the northern counties, European healthcare is quite good, as opposed to the British disaster of National Health Care we hear so much about.

Having grown up in a northern European country, I can assure you it is sufficient for it's people. What is glossed over is a system where the average citizen does not own their own home, few own cars unless for business, and have little say so where their children attend school. Outside of the well-off, the government is the landlord. Public transportation and education, primary and Higher Ed. are free. The average European lives quite well, with much more leisure time than we here in America. It has also created a culture easily controlled, through TAXES.

The economic landscape in America as seen by the left is horrifying to them. They control almost every aspect of our culture, but not our economic philosophy and practice. We are now endanger of that. With the rise of Bernie sanders as a legit presidential candidate in 2016, media promotion of AOC and her Black and Hispanic gal pals, the most recent, Candi CdeBac. Voters had better start listening closely at what these people are advocating.  

CdeBaca, who is an avowed member of the Democratic Socialists Of America (the same communist organization that has blessed America with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) scored an upset in a runoff election after her appeal to the lowlifes, chiselers, and stoners who are drawn to promises of free stuff and state punishment of their oppressors. Her upset victory marks the most significant shift in Denver leadership in over 30 years.

“I don’t believe our current economic system actually works. Um, capitalism by design is extractive and in order to generate profit in a capitalist system, and I think that we’re in late phase capitalism and we know it doesn’t work and we have to move into something new. 

I believe in community ownership of land, labor, resources and distribution of those resources , and whatever that morphs into is I think what will serve community the best and I’m excited to usher it in by any means necessary.”

While the media largely glosses over these fanatical statements, if not outright glorifying them as in the case of AOC and voters remain tuned out, America is only a few elections away from sliding down the slope into a totalitarian style socialism. They are not advocating a European style democracy.  And as no less an expert than Vlad Lenin once famously remarked, the goal of socialism is communism.
