Newsflash: President Donald J. Trump had sex with a whore twelve years ago. Let that sink into your limbic lobes, you poor, opiated, Facebook-addled, morbidly-obese, fly-over nation of lumbering, deplorable, gun-gripping, Jesus-haunted voters. A hoor! Do you hear?
Wait a minute, you say. Stormy Daniels is no such thing, She’s an actress in, and director of, adult films, an auteur, if you like, at least a sex worker, toiling in the rolling mills of eros, sweating and grunting as much as any Mahoning Valley steel worker, or hood ornament buffer on the Tesla assembly line. And anyway, three times over the years she denied having sex with that man, at least once in writing, though last night on CBS’s Sixty Minutes she stated that she actually did have sex with the Golden Golem of Greatness. In which case, she may be some kind of a lyin’ hoor… or savior of a nation yearning to cast off the loathsome rule of this odious president-by-mistake.
The Sixty Minutes make-up and costume crew knocked themselves out coming up with her on-camera look Sunday night: WalMart Shopper. That reddish blouse, for instance, which did not display Stormy’s… er… assets in the usual way (i.e., an enticing fleshy slot descending into deep milky realms of mystery), but just innocently swimming around in there like a couple of frolicking dolphins confined in an above-the-ground backyard pool. Who wouldn’t want to jump in and swim with them?
Maybe not the undistractible Anderson Cooper, who did ferret out many interesting particulars of that one romantic encounter: Stormy accepted Trump’s invitation for dinner… in his hotel suite. Just the two of them, ahem. They watched a TV show about sharks. It apparently lacked aphrodisiac punch. So he showed her a magazine with his picture on the cover, perhaps to get the point across that he was a really important person in case she didn’t already know. She said she ought to take it and spank him with it. He concurred, dropped trou, and presented the rear of his tighty-whitey small-clothes to facilitate that proposal. After that ice-breaker, he said, “I really like you!” and “You remind me of my daughter” — instantly be-sliming the proceedings with overtones of incest. Stormy went to the bathroom and emerged to find Trump perched on the bed. “Here we go,” the thought popped into her head, she says.
But she didn’t say “no.” After all, was this performance that much different from the… I dunno, just guessing… 1043 previous scenes with co-stars she had enacted amorous relations with on-camera? Surely not all of them were husband-material, or crushes. Oh, she didn’t ask him to wear a condom, and he didn’t gallantly volunteer to do so. (A love-child was not conceived.) At some point in the proceedings, Trump dangled the possibility of a role on his fabulous TV show, Celebrity Apprentice. But I suppose that was just the cherry-on-top of a romantic confection baked in the oven of America’s great dream industry. As it happened, Stormy didn’t get on the show. I suspect she didn’t try hard enough.
And now, as the cartoon Puritans of America’s great judgment industry say, there is hell to pay. Stormy received a large-ish check for $130,000 from an attorney associated with Mr. Trump. It is proposed by legal scholars at Anderson Cooper’s home-base, CNN, that this might have constituted an illegal campaign contribution, and is surely something that must be brought to the attention of Robert Mueller, special prosecutor for the Russia collusion case. That will be an interesting hook-up, all right. I have to say, Mr. Mueller would probably benefit from a spanking with the Penn Law Review, and who knows what side benefits might accrue from the encounter. Perhaps Stormy will wear a pair of Russian army tactical Spetsnaz boots instead of those four-inch heels and a Russian bearskin hat. I’d pay to see a film of that!

“Perhaps Stormy will wear a pair of Russian army tactical Spetsnaz boots instead of those four-inch heels and a Russian bearskin hat. I’d pay to see a film of that!”
I was thinking of the sexy Russian Hacker outfit, but that works too 🙂
Meanwhile the SJW brigade had a ‘big day’ with their whole march for our lives. The complicit media in these matters is undeniable at this point. I highly suspect 99% of the people in this march know nothing about communist russia and the intelligentsia purge. Useful idiots who will eventually be killed or do the killing depending on how things shake out.
The only saving grace of the left is they suffer from ADD. They put together lynch mobs for the leftist issue du jour, but all the previous causes they got worked up in a rage about are long forgotten.
Let’s just hope their stupidity renders them too inept a force to destroy the human race.
My favourite image from the marches: counter-protesters (including a kid) in Utah, with a truck-mounted machine gun, that has an American flag stuck in the barrel.

That’s peak ‘Murica, right there. Because if anything is going to make children safer, it’s gangs of guys tearing around in technicals, shooting at stuff with a .50 cal. No, wait, sorry — I was thinking of Somalia. My bad.
Yes, the .50 cal., deployed by the massive US Army of Empire, 450,000 strong, fewer soldiers than Bulgaria had entering WW1.
And the Empire: Guam, Samoa, Puerto Rico, Guantanamo Naval Base in Cuba, American Virgin Islands … what an empire! Why, it rivals Rome in the 4th century.
brh
Yeah, you caught me. Oh well.
Elrond
Whoever first coined the abomination ‘my bad’ deserves to face a firing squad – .50s will do fine, not that I’d know one from a tin of beans 🙂 .
Neither would I, and so BRH caught me betraying a lack of knowledge about firearms, apparently. On the other hand, while JHK likely knows no more about computers than I know about guns, I’ll bet no one here thinks that disqualifies him from commenting about their effect on society.
As for ‘my bad’, I apologize for perpetrating what is an abomination in your eyes. But you would still defend to the death my right to say it, right? 😉
Of course, Elrond.
Just as you defend to the death my right to express my opinion on it 🙂 .
I have now done my research and see that it comes to us from 70s basketball patter, further popularised, apparently, by the film, Clueless. Which I have made a mental note never to watch. I seem to remember it was meant to be a modern take on Jane Austen’s ‘Emma’. I like Jane Austen, so I’ll stay away from it!
JHK: “I’d pay to see a film of that!”
I was gonna say, who in 2018 actually pays for porn? I mean, clearly someone must be, but Jeebus — when I think of the lengths I went to back in the day, just to get a glimpse at a Playboy, or ‘appropriate’ one from the magazine rack.
And now there are unlimited torrents (and .torrents) of it out there for free? Today’s teenage horndogs have no idea how good they have it.
Funny but true. Once you had to go downtown in a big city to a run down theater to watch porn. Men evenly spaced in every sixth seat once your eyes adjusted to the pitch black. The only illumination was the screen. No sconced lights to illuminate walkways as in normal theaters. You feared what might be on the seats.
Now all you have to do is type in something in Google by mistake and you get it without even wanting it. Yes, today’s teenage horndogs have no idea how good they have it!
‘walkways’?
I think you got a letter wrong there.
Nope, that is exactly what I want. There is a walkway on each side of theater seating and a central walkway down the middle in larger theaters. Smaller theaters have been built with a single walkway along only one side of seating but those theaters are relatively new and were not around at the time referenced.
If you think I misspelled may I remind you you are British. You people spell and talk funny.
Sorry, our senses of humour have gone all cross-purpose-y again. I was suggesting a rude pun. Mea culpa.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes I get it. the first letter to be specific. That’s good. Actually more letters would have to change because only changing the first letter yields a HOMOnym. Close but no cigar.
I meant the third letter 🙂
K-dog,
I think you missed what G.A. was alluding to. In that particular type of theater, an aisle could be termed a “wankway”. (There’s your letter replacement.) JHK has brought out the drollery in us all today! Good deal. 😉
But now I’m equally mystified!
Ah,now you are getting British on me again. I have to think about this.
Thanks to Ozone mystery solved. This is definitely a case of regional differences. Jerk off, spank the monkey, choke the chicken are common here. Wank is never used here though of course I see it in print and might even use it in writing myself, but colloquially wank is not Seattle.
cockway
There’s nothing quite like having to explain a joke. 🙂
I didn’t realise it wasn’t transatlantic!
A Team of International Geniuses hard at work.

“teenage horndogs”
Elrond,
With all respect…that statement is redundant.
With all respect, try and remember being 14 with a frolicking dolphin in your pants. “Teenage horndog” is a very specific breed of dog.
A teenage horndog will take interest in any hole that will fit. It does not have to even be human. It could be a hole in a tree though a human would be preferred.
Dog,
Exactly! ALL teenage males are horndogs…hence a redundant statement.
Incorrect logic. There are other kinds of horndogs besides teenagers and this makes teenager a qualifier. It also would not matter if all teenagers are horndogs ore not. That is irrelevant
More would be known about how a teenage horndog differs from an adult horndog but that would require a lot of adult confession.
The kind of confession that turns ears red.
Dog,
Then we can agree that all teenagers are horn dogs, but not all horn dogs are teenagers?
“The kind of confession that turns ears red.”
Yes, and oftimes leads to divorce, unemployment and penury….
Some people watching the interview noticed that Stormy’s pupils were very dilated (as in being high on drugs). Anderson Cooper’s eyes were not dilated, but could we say the same for his sphincter? Yeah, everybody’s looking for something. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5545635/Twitter-asks-Stormy-Daniels-pupils-dilated-interview.html?ITO=1490
The only thing this week’s post succeeding in doing is making me glad I’m not heterosexual. 😛
Goodness – you’re a brave person on this website. I’ve only offered my gay nephew vicariously in the interests of mind-broadening and that got enough blowback 🙂 .
His avatar is solid black like yours and not green like mine. I am one of the few people who can actually be identified here. There is nothing brave about revealing that you are not heterosexual when nobody knows who you are in the first place and can’t find out.
He, she, it also did not say they were gay, that was you.
They very well could be gay and probably are because there is something about being gay that makes people who are gay have to tell the whole world about being gay. They have to have parades and claim that being attracted to others of the same sex is something to be proud of like it makes them special or better people somehow.
We all seem to play along because if someone writes in that they are straight we see that as some really wierd shit, as in ‘whatever dude’ as we should.
Some weirdo writes in that they are not heterosexual, which they did not have to do at all, and then it is celebrated with an utterance about being brave because they need to tell the world about their sexual proclivities.
To such people I’ll be clear. You are stuck on yourself. I do not care if you are gay or straight but please keep the info to yourself. OK?
You also do not own rainbows.
Extremely well said!
I was kidding, K-Dog, in terms of the amount of homophobic stuff that’s on here. I am not confused about the meaning of the word ‘brave’.
I don’t pay attention to parades either. Not my thing, or my nephew’s. My ‘outing’ of my nephew was in RESPONSE to the hate on here. Because you wouldn’t know he was gay and his family didn’t either for years. That’s the point I was trying to make.
But you carry on telling people what they can say if you want to. After all, you do all keep complaining about ‘pc’ so if you’ve been affected yourselves, it’s hardly a surprise.
Taken in to the woodshed and shown what for. All of your English are into Sadomasochism anyway so it’s all good.
This Kdog character isn’t all bad. Gays aren’t special, Alba. They’re deeply troubled and tormented people – who continue to live far shorter lives even when they are completely accepted as they are in Northern Europe.
“This Kdog character isn’t all bad.”
The ‘K-dog character is fine’. It’s you we need to work on.
“Gays aren’t special, Alba.”
Exactly, Janos, that’s the point that needs to be made, so thank you for making it.
“They’re deeply troubled and tormented people ‘
I’ll tell the ones I know – they’ll be fascinated. Even the ones in their 60s. Not that I know THAT many.
But I think, given your torments and troubles, that you’re projecting. I don’t wish you a curtailed life, though, just a less misguided one.
Christ on a Crisco-coated crutch!
vladdie is one hate-spreadin’ little shit. (That would be a declaration, not a query.)
Don’t hold back, ozone, tell us what you really think 🙂 .
Ozone hates most White Americans but he loves all Gays and Blacks – unless they’re conservative in which case they become honorary Aryans.
Man, things are either really slow or really stressed by the ‘whip hand’ at the ol’ Hate Factory for such chasing of the back track. Let’s see some more mendacity. C’mon you lyin’ bitches, do your job of stinking up the comment boards or there’ll be no screenings of piles of emaciated bodies Thursday night. …Just a reminder of who you work for, maggots.
“Just as Chomsky has written about “the manufacture of consent,” we can now see how—and why–the American political establishment works around the clock to “manufacture rage:” because the powers-that-be know that fostering this endless anger is a perfect way to keep their critics tangled up in the ropes and snares of their own hateful rhetoric. As long as Americans are training their anger at each other, they won’t do any damage to those actual powers-that-be.” – J. Eskow
I agree with your assessment four comments up, though, ozone 🙂
And with Chomsky.
One recalls Joe Sobran: “the love that dare not speak its name has become the love that never shuts up.”
Speaking up was definitely called for when law punished homosexuality with death. I don’t want to see those laws return, either. Now?
Well, I’ve seen K-Dog point out a few times that he’s a ‘dog that’s attracted to bitches’ so I get that when he says ‘I do not care if you are gay or straight but please keep the info to yourself.’ he doesn’t actually mean that at all.
So, PC message understood.
Fair enough. But my intent is humor and I never do it out of context. Everything I write here has a point and that is my deliberate intent because I know how badly some posters want to rip what I write to shreds. By always having a point I make that job harder for them. They have to use their brains to try and get me. For some that is too hard.
Telling someone I don’t want to hear about their sexuality is not going to make them stop but if you want to attack me as attacking free speech lets talk about appropriate. When Putin arrested Pussy Riot for breaking up a church service he did the right thing, they were in the wrong.
Telling people I consider revelations about being gay offensive is only asserting what my ears have a right to hear. They can say what they want but I do not have to hear it. Free speech has to be appropriate speech or do you make a habit of screaming fire in crowded theatres?
Seems to me you were attacking MY right to free speech.
And I absolutely do mean:
I do not care if you are gay or straight but please keep the info to yourself.’
My intent was humour too, K-Dog. I come on here every week and my ‘ears’ have to listen to the most disgusting antisemitism, racism, etc. and some pretty gross and dismissive comments about women too. Some of it meant to be hilarious.
But you’re worried about a flippant remark about someone daring to say on this highly prejudiced website that they’re not heterosexual.
And I’m not enamoured of Pussy Riot’s exploits either.
Pax?
Meh.
I consider those who predicate everything in life on their sexuality are (in general) wasting said life. I feel there are times when ‘single-mindedness’ can be more curse than blessing. The sex drive is self-driving, as anyone past pubescence can observe for themselves; no manuals needed but for clinical details and [hopefully satisfying] recreational experiments. 😉
I quite agree. My nephew never even mentioned it till he was asked. And they only asked because they wondered, which is fair enough after living with someone for nearly 20 years.
And none of us ever mention it, but not because he’s got anything to be ashamed of. We don’t discuss cleaning our teeth either.
@Ozone: Gay people, from what I can tell anyway, for the most part don’t intrinsically predicate everything in their lives on their sexuality. Or to the extent they do, they’re just being themselves in the same way most straight people are also being themselves. When Joe Straight Guy goes around acting like Joe Straight Guy, nobody notices how his actions are predicated on his straight-guyness, because no one finds straight-guyness surprising.
Gay sexuality became A Thing because of how the society reacted to it — basically, the most scandalized and hateful were able to shame everyone else into being as scandalized, and somewhat as hateful, as they were. Ultimately gay people started pushing back and refusing to be shamed any longer, and they worked up a head of steam as they did so. This, plus the natural reaction anyone has when they know they will always be in the minority, accounts for the ‘single-mindedness’ some displayed, and display.
The movement that started at the Stonewall Inn basically achieved total victory with the recognition of gay marriage, but the head of steam that drove matters to that point hasn’t completely subsided yet. But don’t worry, it will — things always revert to the mean.
Elrond,
I’m not in disagreement with much of what you say, but if you’ll read the sentence again, I think you’ll find it narrowly quantified and specific to those who DO filter everything through a lens of their own self-centered sexuality.
“I consider those who predicate everything in life on their sexuality are (in general) wasting said life.”
Okay then? 😉 (I really don’t think the comment was off the mark or ambiguous. One could argue that in the realm of semantics if that’s enjoyable. Again — meh.)
Elrond,
Plus, I made no mention or concession to any specific *type* of sexuality, quite deliberately.
Yeah Ozone, cuz a hole is a hole. You are so sensitive to beauty and meaning! And Nature!
Elrond: People used to think Blacks would get over it – they never did. Nor do you people want them to. Maybe the same thing with Gays? Nor will you want them to. Every Civilization has looked askance at them. There must be reasons…..
Alba: You are so brave coming here each week. Your eyes tortured with racism, sexism, and homophobia. You can’t get enough of that funky stuff!
“You are so brave coming here each week. Your eyes tortured with racism, sexism, and homophobia.”
As long as it has an infinitesimal chance of encouraging any fence-sitting readers not to fall into the racist and antisemitic quagmire, in a normalising kind of way, I’ll do my bit to wave my tiny flag for decency, Janos.
“Every Civilization has looked askance at them. There must be reasons…..”
And every school has bullies. The reasons are within the bullies.
“He, she, it also did not say they were gay, that was you.”
Actually I didn’t say that either.
‘my gay nephew’ is close enough. You are splitting hairs.
I meant regarding the person. They might be some other kind of ‘not heterosexual’, the details of which do not interest me.
I just offered one kind. No kind is acceptable on here. This is PC Central. And yet you all talk about snowflakes. There are different ways of looking at things.
“Some weirdo writes in that they are not heterosexual,”
Heterosexuality is natural, just like buggery. Nothing to see here, folks…
…move on….
‘Buggery’ among heterosexuals seems to have taken off like nobody’s business since the advent of porn, so ‘just like’ is probably fair enough.
In my professional capacity I have had to read about the microbial consequences of said change in heterosexual mores, but I’ll spare you that.
Should have said the advent of wall-to-wall porn.
A propos heterosexual buggery:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8ZF_R_j0OY
Hmmm… Funny how two such polar motivations converge in the implementation. 🙂
These people aren’t obsessed with sex. They’re obsessed with other people being obsessed with sex (other people’s sex lives). Reduce the terms of the equation: they’re obsessed with sex.
Can’t Own rainbows. Can use them but can’t own them. I like most people, but when they go about taking some things like the swish, the bow, the rainbow, the whatever it is they have to id themselves with. You are just borrowing it for a time, but not owning it.
Th skittles jingle was taste the rainbow, now that would have other meaning in light of this other group co-oping the symbols.
Oh and on the side note. I linked my account just so that people could find me and my other opinions.
If i didn’t want people to know who I was I’d not be online.
Hmm. If it’s a “weirdo-free” environment you want, a mostly unmoderated blog comment-section might not really be your speed. Just sayin’. 🙂
Second that–
I have a male cousin who claims he is a lesbian trapped in a man’s body, but this seems not to have improved his social life…
Alas it is true: 1950s-style homophobia is all but de rigeur in these comments, mostly tinged with a hurt ‘sore loser’ echo to it, as sexual orientation becomes something of a major non-issue in western society.
Meanwhile the gay mayor of Berlin pays an official visit to ‘burn-’em-alive-like-it-say-in-dee-babble’ Uganda. That must have been a fun journey. Yer Lordship?
The love that dare not squeak its name just won’t shut up and sit down and such a reluctance to play it straight annoys all these fart smellers I mean smart fellers, starting with our esteemed host.
Alas, again.
Fake news reports 60 Russians expelled! ohh wait.. that’s real news!
Did the Dems expel them? Nope Trump did! Putin is going to take back his “your welcome” from Trump congratulating him. I’d like to be a fly on the wall in Melania’s bedroom. Probably would be bored to death
Thanks for changing the subject, sir (or madam, as the case may be).
“…Stormy weather…”
I had so far managed to totally ignore the whole Stormy Daniels story, apart from being aware of the name (and a few of the previous post’s commentariat assessing her assets and competing to find the best adjectives to go with ‘skank’ (which independently came in adjectival form as well).
So, thanks for that 🙂 .
.
Money and rumors of illicit sex. That’s all we Americans have left these days. The assorted shootings don’t even trigger the radar anymore.
It would be the same over here, Scratch, it were one of ours (well, if it were Treeza that really would make a story!). All we got was David Cameron and Piggate:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piggate
TMI already. Only in England…
Love it! Actually, by secret society initiation rite standards, that one’s pretty tame. You Brits ain’t going all prude on us now, are you? No telling what Bush the Lesser had to do back in the day with his ‘Bones chums.
Call-me-Dave is still sometimes referred to scathingly (mostly in comments columns) as the pig-botherer. Doesn’t help that he has that shiny pink face.
As for going all prude, the upper classes have always had their own er…activities. We lesser mortals are very boring by comparison.
But you’re right – it’s relatively tame (if it happened). Just a bit embarrassing if your teenage kids’ school friends know all about it 🙂 .
The horror, the horror eh Scratch? While I refuse to follow or otherwise participate in listening to any of the fornication crimes bullshit that has long preoccupied the limited American attention span, I am nonetheless saddened if not actually depressed by all of it. In the decayed moral morass that is American culture, where everyone everywhere is either diddling some poor misfortunate or is pleasuring themselves as they view moving pictures of those who are, and all while maintaining the audacity to point fingers of shame at somebody else and cry foul, well it makes me sick. What political figure has not transgressed the borders of smart sex, if such a border even exists? In this place, where divorce is a badge of honor and couple swapping, gender bending, and dial a porn on the tele is considered just having a good time, how can anyone have the audacity to cry foul over anything at all? I mean, has anyone done anything as far as bringing Harvey Weinstein to justice yet? It is all just a sick joke. Pathetic comedy. I would not be surprised to see the next 60 Seconds program (yes they should shorten the time slot) interview the local baker who comes out to accuse the GG of G of performing strange acts upon the loaf of marbled rye that he sold to GG 20 years ago. After all, no low is too low for the Boob Tube.
WalterB,
I guess this is what can be expected of a country that has mandated a PG-13 rating for a wondrous cinematic spectacle of extreme bloody mayhem, exploding and bullet-riddling of twitching humanoids in their death throes, but an X rating for depicting folks putting their naughty bits together in a manner that “gawd intended”… and ways more interesting and creative as well.
Yep, we could say that cognitive dissonance in the sexual arena (the Hedonist vs. the Puritan) is getting as explosive as the brothers’ keeper vs. fuck ’em, I got mine playground. Oh well, devolution and unintended consequences of consent-shaping will out, won’t they?
Christians find your “gawd” spelling and attitude offensive. Walter is a Christian. Wtf?
Wow Janos, that was so kind of you, thank you. I certainly try my best to follow the lessons of my Master, as difficult as it is. Not to worry, I take no offense at those that believe otherwise or do not believe at all. Free will is a gift to us all and must be given if we plan on being allowed to have it ourselves. Here on the path less travelled one gets used to being alone, though the occasional gift of caring such as you have given me today is greatly appreciated my friend. Bless you.
“Christians find your “gawd” spelling and attitude offensive. Walter is a Christian. Wtf?”
I didn’t notice you taking it up with our host when he used the word.
But a shameless antisemite bringing up the subject of religious offence is an achievement of which only someone with your mind-boggling lack of self-awareness could be capable.
And you’re not a Christian. As I’ve mentioned before, you’re an Aryan mystic pagan cupcake with a dollop of opportunistic Christianist cream on top.
“I didn’t notice you taking it up with our host when he used the word.” – because Janos is a coward.
“And you’re not a Christian. As I’ve mentioned before, you’re an Aryan mystic pagan cupcake with a dollop of opportunistic Christianist cream on top.” – you flatter him. Last time that I compared him with Hitler, he almost creamed with delight.
Yes, he bears comparison with Hitler too. I wasn’t suggesting being an Aryan mystic was generally a good starting point for anyone.
Hey guys please, it is one thing to get on each other for disparaging remarks and insults back and forth, but if we cannot tolerate a kind word or two being send across cyberspace on occasion then we all deserve to be eliminated from this farce (life that is) immediately. Yes Janos is quite the character and comes out with a lot of stuff that bring derision and rightly so, but an act of kindness needs be rewarded and not attacked don’t you see? I think we could all use a lot more patience and consideration when dealing with one another so jump on me too if you will and I shall show you how to turn the other cheek.
Remember Walt, no Jew believes in “Judeo-Christianity”. And the Church will be Here for the Apocalypse as the Book of Revelations clearly says. The Anti-Christ or Jewish Messiah (almost all the Church Fathers agreed that he would be a Jew – worshiped in the Temple, remember?) will savage us.
Ah but Janos, the Messianic Jews believe in the Mashiach, as Jesus and the true Messiah and it a joy to listen to those rabbis that so believe…
https://israelinewslive.org/
True that the old school Jews may not believe, but this should not be a problem that concerns us, they have free will too you see. The Zionists are another story altogether and as a force that is committed to maintaining its power and imposing its will upon others these people can be denounced as a huge problem working against world peace just as the Neocons and the Globalists, which in my book includes the Vatican. While we are meant not to judge them, we must still be compelled to denounce the violence which I shall continue to do always. Peace and tolerance, while probably never achievable, should be practiced nonetheless if we are to remain true to what we have committed to be.
A very mixed bag I think. I read a terrible book once by a Jewish guy who had become a Christian – without renouncing one iota of his Jewish Supremacism. “Jesus is Jewish, Ok guys?” In other words, thanks for nothing gentiles. He’s ours now.
He had been associated with Jews for Jesus, though they don’t seem nearly as bad for the most part. But all in all, the Movement wants to take the Lord of the Universe and make Him back into a Jewish Tribal Deity again. In other words, the New Testament in interpreted in light of the Old, and not the Old in light of the New as in Christianity. John Hagee for example is an apostate, a 3rd class Jew at this point.
Prophecy is clear (read Ted Pike): the Jews will grow in power until they dominate the World. They will greet the Anti-Christ as their Messiah – and He will utterly betray them. Finally chastened after 2000 years of error and arrogance, they will accept the True Faith.
Well Janos to truly Believe in Jesus you must submit completely to what He said and that was that all men are welcome at His Father’s table Jew and Gentile, even the Pagans. Under the umbrella of His sacrifice, we can ALL find salvation….

I am the Centurion. Join me, please.
That the mischievous Janos – not a devoted admirer of ‘The Tribe’ or its trouble ‘Promised Land’ – should have adopted a nom de plume of a Nazi who became a Mossad hitman is beyond puzzling.

It gets curiouser and curiouser.
Maybe not your radar, Diablo. A cursory glance at the events of the weekend might indicate otherwise.
O c’mon Green, who wants to talk about serious topics when a gal named Stormy is gettin’ plugged by a yellow headed troll 🙂
Hollywood can’t write this stuff.
Had me at the headline.

How much press do they devote to the mass rape and prostituting of young girls, in England?
I noticed that Sir Paul was participating in that anti-gun march. I’m sure he’ll be organizing a march against child rape, just as soon as he gets back.
He’s staying out here in Amagansett.
Something that certain person or persons active here curiously never want to talk about, even though it’s happening right in their own backyard.
“the mass rape and prostituting of young girls, in England?”
Give me some information regarding numbers and locations and I’ll be able to have a good guess as to where you got your information from. There have been some bad cases. Some from a while ago. Also historical evidence of child abuse of various kinds in institutions (care homes). AND of course the children who were sent to Australia in the 50s and abused there, the most egregious case being by the Christian Brothers.
But when you use terms like ‘mass rape and prostituting’, you need to give people some idea of whether you’re talking about a seething bed of rape and prostitution TODAY in every town and city or something else. Because otherwise it’s not helpful.
Some comparisons with other countries’ experience in these matters is also useful.
The Koran says Muslim warriors have the right to the conquered women – or wives of their left hand.
Whatever problems a society is having in this regard, surely their ingress isn’t going to help, eh? Think about it – if you’re able that is.
In what way does that absolve the Christian Brothers exactly?
I think he is talking about this…
http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/60-minutes-investigates-alleged-westminster-paedophile-network/news-story/66ed0b0374f91b978bbd74392a8161d3
The British version of 60 Minutes did a story on the subject.
I doubt it, Walter – this story was (a) historical and (b) about abuse (and murder) of little boys.
However, it’s always best to wait until the truth actually comes out:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-41187474
As in some stuff is made up.
There are other genuine examples of the systematic abuse of girls (Rochdale; Newcastle…). And there have been historical cases of abuse in children’s homes in various parts of the country, generally back in the 70s or before.
But when people talk about the ‘mass rape of English girls’ without any details, they usually have an agenda, more than an interest in the truth.
I suppose it is the easiest way out to simply ignore it, dismiss it as fiction or bunk and go back to our own lives, because it’s not like they are doing anything to OUR children, right? NIMBY – Not In My Back Yard. It saves us so much effort, ain’t it great?
I’m not sure what you’re suggesting, Walter. Someone appears to have actually made this up. Compensation has now been paid to people who were falsely accused and their reputations tarnished. I’d have thought you’d approve of that.
Obviously for things that have actually happened we should all care – what a strange suggestion you make.
The cases that actually happened have been and are being dealt with as everyone comes to terms with things most didn’t know were going on at the time.
Having to watch Shark Week with Trump did not happen the first time they had sex. She says they only had sex once. He wanted it after the shark show but she grabbed her purse and left. She did not put out then since she knew she was being played about being on the apprentice and the orange one was not going to slide his stiffie again with out Trump ‘putting out’ which he never did. All she ever got was a free dinner and a threat in a parking lot. Is that a ho? Opinions may differ.
The threat in the parking lot was rather mild and about as as scary as Homeland Security calling you up and saying ‘you’re gonna die’ and then hanging up should you have found out about our government micro-targeting blog visitors with trolls as I found out a few years ago. That is scary and you do shake afterwards and you do have trouble walking. That and obsess about it for days. But there are worse things.
“Having to watch Shark Week with Trump did not happen the first time they had sex. She says they only had sex once. He wanted it after the shark show but she grabbed her purse and left.”
So you are saying that Donnie jumped the shark?
That may explain it. She didn’t play her cards right and wants more. Much more. These whores have to be made to keep the contracts they made with Trump.
Slut-shaming now Kunstler?
Are you a whore worshiper now – like the Ancient Cult of Ishtar? Have you been with Stormy too?
Janos,
You keep repeating “Whore” Whore” Whore”, as in:

Being tolerant is like being an old whore: you can’t even feel it anymore.
Is this your experience of women?
Is this your experience with women?
very unhealthy.
Thank you for quoting Me to Me. There is only the Self. You are just an undigested piece of matzo.
If the blog thing doesn’t work out for JHK , he definitely has a future writing erotic literature. This was much better than the terse , dry prose of the Starr report that described Bill “sometimes a cigar is just a cigar” Clinton’s White house romp.
Trump/ Storm assignation erotic to you somehow?
How, where, why, in what way, how come…?
Where are the vehement denials of not having sex with that woman? Trump is not playing by the script here for the possible impeachment over purgury in his testimony about sex with that woman. The DNC must be pissed off over this.
In a way I feel bad for Trump. He plowed into land that was already spent, well tilled, and not all that great. While the talk of Stormy “reminding him of his daughter” is disturbing, it is far from being the weirdest thing about a president.
Maybe he can get a real doll made that looks like his “perfect” woman. If it looks like Ivanka. I will then be “offended”.
Far from the weirdest, eh? What is weirder, then? I must not be up on my presidential trivia. Not only is Trump’s lack of boundaries with FDOTUS disturbing, but there have to be currents there that no one has any idea about yet.
And that’s all to the good, for our collective peace of mind, given that there are already credible allegations that Ms. Clifford is in possession of certain “video images, still images, email messages, and text messages” (i.e. presidential dick pics).
And still the Liberals ignore the sexual CRIMES of Bill Clinton and Hillary’s role as his enabler and enforcer against his victims. Shame on you all.
Does this mean that you won’t be speaking to us anymore?
What with that “Shame” and all.
Nice post Jim! Glad to see you’re getting into the spirit of things now. Tawdry camp is the spirit of the age here in la la land, as we circle the drain of disintegrating, ill-begotten empire. But hey, no one has ever done it better, late stage Rome notwithstanding!
Scratchy,
LOL!
…and few *write about it* better than our esteemed host!
Could we term those Romanoids “pikers” in the collapse bid’nez? We seem to be gettin’ ‘er done in a faster and more efficient fashion, eh?
(Tho’ they were certainly “colorful” about the whole deal…)
You are the turd circling the bowl the fastest – so you win? If the analogy is offensive, forgive me. Read Poe’s story about the whirlpool instead. Maybe the bottom is a black hole and entrance into another Universe were Pucker is President.
It’s all a distraction.
If she did every john in America, not one would notice that he was getting screwed. One of them might notice the wall of flame after it engulfed him. Or maybe not. If so, he would curse the vast left wing conspiracy which was being used to screw America.
As if there were a leftist left in America after 1970.
Being tolerant is like being an old whore: you can’t even feel it anymore. As Aristotle said, the last “virtue” of a dying civilization, the “brain” so expanded and flabby that nothing make much impact or friction.
Preaching “Tolerance” now”?
Or was it “Shame”?
You confuse with your words.
Another stirring episode last night sponsored by the Mushroom Love folks. We keep you in the dark America and feed you Bull Shit. Stay tuned.
I had to listen to the Stormy drivel on NPR this morning. Trump is an easy mark and an idiot for hooking up with these women, but how does that impact his tenure in office? Is adultery prior to obtaining office an impeachable offense?
Very funny post.
You’d be shocked at the number of people who believe that President Clinton was impeached for having sex with an intern.
They always add, “in the Oval Office” as if they are talking about a church or something. Like there are extra penalties attached for venue.
It wasn’t in the Oval Office anyway.
Bill Clinton was impeached for fooling around with Monica like Martha Stewart was tried and convicted of insider trading.
Odd thing, James Comey was involved in Martha’s persecution, I mean prosecution, too.
JHK
Bravo! Very amusing summary of the 60 Minutes proceedings. What a let down. I too will pay for the the film of Stormy in Russian boots and bearskin hat whacking Mueller’s ass!
JD
Brilliant post Jim.Its too good to spoil it with comments.
You just did.
“As if there were a leftist left in America after 1970.”
Some of them may have moved over here, the way the blacklisted writers did who came over and wrote ‘Robin Hood’ (under pseudonyms) for the BBC, while McCarthy was looking for real Robin Hood sympathisers to skewer on your side of the Pond.

Thriving and pissing straight.
Well, stormygate is pretty thin soup compared to Russkiegate, which is tapwater, but any port in a storm. Gotta get Trump one way or another.
The progressive demolition of human civilization has been slightly slowed down by this oaf figurehead nominally at the helm of the world’s most powerful country.
But it was enjoyable to watch, I admit to schadenfreude. I knew Melaina was not going to put out last night. That’s for damn sure. Had Trump ordered up someone else which I’m sure he could do as easily as ordering a pizza he still would have been thinking about what he could not have, Melaina.
I needed that after Trump gave laid John Bolton on us last week. Bolton in with Trump means people are going to die so if Trump is having to order pizza because there is no home cookin goin on, that’s great.
Unless it makes him more aggressive, a phenomenon not unknown.
Melania
Thanks.
Melania makes her deals.
Stormy makes her deals.
Trump double-deals. (His Art of the Double-Deal). And you bought it.
” Bolton in with Trump means people are going to die so if Trump is having to order pizza because there is no home cookin goin on, that’s great”
yeah. I wonder if Bolton was really Trump’s choice.
“any port in a storm”
Get it Isjogren?
And a storm in every port.
“You were the sunshine, baby, whenever you smiled

Wow, Trump expels 60 Russian diplomats. Now that’s an unusual turn of events. If nothing else, this guy is totally unpredictable. Is this just a ploy to demonstrate how tough he really is on Putin or is he really pissed-off about the poisoning? We know he is a germophobe; is he a “nerveagentophobe” too?
JD
Of course, Trump is a pig but, compared to Bill Clinton’s trips to Jeffrey Epstein’s orgy island for sex with under-aged girls, this is a mere peccadillo – worthy, perhaps, of a PG 13 rating. I trust that all outraged Democrats are still determined that Slick Willy be brought to justice over that business.
Love it when Republicans defend repugnant behavior with: “But the Dems!”
One is a crime.
So you’ve got Clinton guilty of orgy island for sex with under-aged girls?
I guess that provides excuses galore.
No, I don’t have him guilty, I have one being worthy of investigation and the other being smutty gossip.
BOY,
I have one being worthy of investigation – Trump
and the other being smutty gossip. – Clinton
Anytime someone judges, they are held up for judgment at the same time. If one posits a universal ethic, then naturally the other person will look to see if you are consistent. That makes sense, right? So what is the problem?
Come before the Law with Clean Hands or stay in the darkness. And the Democrats are filthy….
I want to remind everyone that this Playboy culture has trapped many power motivated men into salacious activity. Does anyone think that a fifty percent divorce rate is for irreconcilable differences? Just think about Hollywood where folks act out the testosterone dreams of these overgrown teenagers. That they get the press time they get is disgusting to me. How about the TV show Playboy after Dark or the exposes of the Playboy mansion in the 70’s-80’s? Both just plain glorified this behavior pattern. And their contributors were just as much female as male. Hollywood does not want to acknowledge how many of the elite posed for Playboy or otherwise joined Hefner’s group to get ahead. It really shows how low we as a society have descended to consider this bedroom behavior acceptable family entertainment on Sunday night. I think that Walt Disney was much better entertainment.
60 Minutes used to be about serious, in-depth reporting of “hard news”, allegedly, once upon a time.
We’ve seen the line between entertainment and news blurred for some time. In fact, when 60 Minutes featured a BobDylan interview, they were criticized for that. Bob just happened to work indirectly for the same parent company or something, so it was really blurring the lines of news, entertainment, and advertising.
Then it was the lines of news, entertainment, advertising, and gossip, and now it is smut added to the mix. Except the “news” part has been taken out.
Look where the playboy brand is now. Down the tubes, along with penthouse and the rest of the rags that promoted an immoral and narcisstic lifestyle.
brh
brh
The only reason these mags have gone down the tubes is the business model – and the limitations. You can now see anything you want done to a woman at the click of a mouse at no cost – and, importantly, in complete secrecy (thanks to your military friend, Private Browsing), and just seeing a naked pneumatic bimbo is now way too tame for most men (the effect is called ‘tolerance’, as you will know). But mostly it’s availability, convenience and secrecy – magazines are less discreet and it takes a second to close down a site when you hear your wife coming in the door. No magazine to hide.
Also, on the internet you can specify the age group. Teenagers are the most popular (among almost all male demographics) and you don’t always get the ‘just out of school’ demographic in a wank mag.
Not my scene, as you can imagine, but it’s supply and demand. And when you don’t even have to pay for it, the demand is unlimited.
Today, the Shanghai International Energy Exchange started trading futures for oil in yuan.
The morning session is over and we can talk about the first results. September futures contracts, or SC1809, with the opening, immediately jumped 6%, to 440 yuan per barrel ($69.63 per barrel), + 24 yuan from the starting price, to 416 yuan.
By the end of the first morning session, at 10:15 am local September futures closed at a price of 435.9 yuan per barrel, + 19.9 yuan from the initial price, the price rose to a maximum of 447.1 yuan.
26,756 lots (a thousand barrels of oil in a lot) were sold, of which 25,702 lots were September, which is 96% of the total.
http://www.ine.cn/en/
And with it we can talk about the beginning of the end for US dollar priced oil hegemony, and with that the end of the US dollar itself as anything remotely resembling a stable currency and lasting store of value. Best pile them dollar bills high now boys, cause your going to be using them for kindling to stay warm at night soon enough.
Nobody expects anything like that happen, absolutely not!
But it does pronounce the end of the unipolar world, officially announced by Trump in his congratulatory call to Putin and suggestion to start negotiations.
Rather I expect a 10-year period of managed deflation of the dollar bubble, with long-term bilateral trade agreements to maintain the stability of the system.
Now the fight is going for the levers of control, but nobody needs to slide into an uncontrollable fall.
At the global level will be the Inter Government Central Planning, without financial speculation – only through negotiations on quotas, mutual credits, etc.
For the regular folks, especially the liberal-minded, it will be the inexplicable volatility of the western currencies. Just now the dollar has been going vertically upward, and in a few weeks it will again go down, then again upwards and so on without end and without intelligible logic.
Sounds like you need to adjust your expectations then, Finca old boy.
Like our host, and yourself, we who think logically cannot see how it can fail to crap out sooner rather than later. It defies everything we have come to understand by remaining un-collapsed. However, some of us that believe that once we were given the Word, we were also given two thousand years to comprehend it and get it right. That would put our day of judgment around the year 2033 (understand what I am getting at?), which would fit in with the timeline FTM was pondering accurate. We also have to work in 7 years of really bad shite gong down to, so I’m thinking that we still have time for it all to fall down slowly. In the end however, fall it certainly will. It is now unsustainable.
You do have to marvel at the resiliency so far, don’t ya Walt? But our current timelines are so compressed that it skews our perceptions. The Great Depression of 1929’s timelines were actually much longer (both before and after) than anyone alive now remembers, as well. It built all through the 20’s due to factors put in place in the teens, and then lasted all through the 30’s, with only WWII in the 40’s putting an end to it for good.
Our current bust can be directly attributed at least as far back as 2000 and the coming of Bush/Cheney, but really goes back much further to Clinton and the neoliberalization of Wall St and big finance in the 90’s, and Reagan’s exploding deficits in the 80’s. The main difference this time around is that the crash this time will inevitably mark an end to the current economic and financial dispensation. What will come next precisely is anyone’s guess, but the silly child’s game of extend and pretend through the magic of money printing will no longer be viable, as even the powers that be are signaling of late.

I wonder how many yuan the mile and a quarter long oil trains I see going north through Seattle for export are worth?
You’re asking the wrong question, Dog.
I’d start calculating how much the mile and a quarter high stack of hundred-dollar bills is worth.
still got that Dollar-envy, eh?
Export? Righhht, as the US still imports nearly 40% of its oil.
Paulo,
I wish I did not have to disappoint you but while we all find great mirth in the Trump-Stormy show the Trump-Stormy show is really a distraction.
http://money.cnn.com/2018/01/28/investing/oil-prices-exports-shale-boom/index.html
I passed a mile and a quarter long oil train on the way home from work Friday. One 100% oil train in all new shiny cars. This operation is just getting under way. Enough oil to run the entire world for more than a minute. I did the math.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/05/business/energy-environment/oil-exports-corpus-christi-texas.html
Bolton is in to start a few wars to up the international oil price so Permian fracked crude can be made profitable. Trump is the man in the middle who has to make his oil men happy so he hires Bolton. Trump can’t fire the oil men.
Get the picture?
Shark Week’s ratings just sky rocketed 🙂
Maybe this whole thing is a stunt by the Discovery channel for an advertisement boost.
The Penn Law Review for Mueller–Excellent! They say laughter is the best medicine. Nice work, JHK.
Regarding the rolling mills, I am reminded of what I saw parked just outside the front door of the Des Moines Community Playhouse, while out for a walk last night. It was a brand new-looking cargo container, freshly painted in a light beige color, like the color of personal computers in the 1990s.
I looked the container over, figured it must have brought stage settings and props to the Playhouse, checked to see if it was locked (it was) and studied the various certification plaques attached to it.
Turns out this container, about the size of a railroad boxcar, was made in 2017, in China.
I suppose I should not be surprised that a shipping container parked near our home in Iowa was made in China. But back when America was great, our goods were delivered mostly by rail, and the various types of rolling stock, including boxcars the size of that container, were made in USA.
Which leads back to rolling mills. Back in the day, American rolling mills turned out the steel plate and other shapes to build the boxcars, flat cars, hopper cars, gondola cars and more, for our railroads. And those rolling mills also rolled out the rails that the trains ran on. Then there were great American foundries, stamping mills, and of course smelters. all producing iron and steel items, from pig iron on up to I-beams.
We were a better country, a great country, when transportation was mostly conducted by rail, and when the components of our rail system were made in USA.
Never is a long time, so I won’t say never. But to get back to where we were, in, say, 1950 will not be easy. Will we once again have real rolling mills turning out transportation components, rather than the metaphorical ones toiled in by young ladies like Stormy?
Finca, whatcha doon wit thu reel noos? You gon nuts ur sumting?

A very well turned phrase indeed!

“Is adultery prior to obtaining office an impeachable offense?” –just saying
No, but the $130,000 coverup payment days prior to the election is an impeachable offense.
Republican election law expert Trevor Potter said the payout potentially represented an “illegal, in-kind contribution.” Potter served as chairman of the Federal Election Commission (FEC) under George H.W. Bush.
We are one step closer today to the 25th amendment solution.
Cohen is in trouble but he will say he did it on his own. Nothing to see here.
No, but the $130,000 coverup payment days prior to the election is an impeachable offense.
A massive stretch, to say the least. If the act itself wasn’t illegal, how is paying someone off to shut their mouth about it illegal? Stupid maybe, since she eventually reneged on the agreement anyway (go figure!). Payments like this are routine on both sides of the aisle now, and as amounts go, this one was certainly trivial. Any port in a storm, eh lil’ j-bot? The reason they dare not impeach Trump is that if they did the lid would come off on all the tawdry DC shenanigans, and you can bet your bottom dollar no one wants that.
BS

Great work, Jim!
So there he is, the POTUS, leader of the most powerful nation on earth, with his underwear down, being slut spanked before the world.
Those golden showers seem less far fetched now, the urinary streams maybe adding permanent color to his mop on top.
Threatened? In many other countries Stormy would have gone down – six feet that is.
I don’t mind the virtue signaling of Stormy and her Shyster. After all, nobility in this country has been in short supply lately.
Still, I’m filled with grief. Were they boxers or briefs?
“Still, I’m filled with grief. Were they boxers or briefs?”
…Well…Depends….
Good one! Probably not then though, unless he wanted to play baby.
Now, who could tell but Melania?
I just wished we knew Trump did anal. We know he is an ass.
Okay, but keep me out of the loop and away from the poop.
Back in 1998 with the Clinton/Lewinsky fiasco, it was still possible for some Americans to pretend that this stuff mattered and our politicians should be held accountable.
Now, we know they are all screwing whores and screwing each other, and we rightly don’t care. It’s par for the course.
God comment, but I’m not sure Stormy rates a par. I wouldn’t do her with Bill Clinton’s D**k.
Good comment…
“This stuff” did not matter then, nor does it matter now.
Personally, I was tired of Clinton by 1998, having seen him for what he really is i.e., a sell-out and a traitor, but I really thought that if he was able to achieve an erection after 1 1/2 terms as POTUS that he should be getting a medal instead of impeached.
Sorry to hear about the daughter comment, maybe AC flashed back to an in flagrante delicto memory of mommy dearest, and had Stormy add that; good for ratings and all.
Politicians should be held accountable for many things, but any thinking person knows that consensual sex, of any imaginable kind, should be off the table. The opening sentence of the perfect post says it all.
Americans expect more from their leaders than they expect of themselves.
The opening sentence of THIS perfect post says it all.
“but any thinking person knows that consensual sex, of any imaginable kind, should be off the table.”
If it’s of any imaginable kind, why not on the table? 🙂
oh, yeah!

“Newsflash: President Donald J. Trump had sex with a whore twelve years ago. Let that sink into your limbic lobes, you poor, opiated, Facebook-addled, morbidly-obese, fly-over nation of lumbering, deplorable, gun-gripping, Jesus-haunted voters. A hoor! Do you hear?” — JHK
Jim K,
A wonderful poisonous pen opening for a skewering of our nation of vengeful voyeurs and judgemental jingoists! Why, the whole exposition is what used to be called, “a laff riot”.
Thanks so much; I think we all needed that!
Ps. The use of the anachronistic ‘small-clothes’ cracked me up and almost qualified as a double entendre I’m thinkin’. Pitch perfect.
“No black dick in her whole career thumbs down and her 60 minutes interview sucked Trump wins again smh”

No BBC? She is from Baton Rouge originally. That could explain it.
A Nation is known by the quality of their whores. In the old days, whores eschewed Blacks on principle. Now because they are notorious for not paying and not playing within the given parameters – and of course they are reliably unpredictable and dangerous.
“Our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is the way that it cares for its helpless members.”

notorious for not paying and not playing within the given parameters
You know this how?
K-dog,
He absorbed it (like a diaper) from Amren, where all the truth in the universe is carefully stored and catalogued. He must be a very generous soul to share SO MUCH of this incontrovertible knowledge with us, week after week, day after day, hour after hour (well, when his shift is on anyway). I wish he’d introduce us to more of his “friends” so we could get some proper instruction in how to live like correct-[or non-]thinking drones. Yes, thinking is hard; when will it end?
It’s well know in the industry, a big issue in fact. I know this is hard for you guys since you think whores are great and therefore not racists. Such mechanical thinking from mechanical men.
I just wish the MSM would show the disgust that JHK is displaying. Well done!
I used to wonder how these people could live with themselves, but then I realized that they can’t.
By their own admissions, many if not most of them are on medication for chronic anxiety and depression, and they also rely heavily on nicotine, which is the stimulant that also relaxes you, to cope with the side effects such as insomnia and weight gain that the antidepressants can cause.
Do they ever stop to wonder why they find their own lives so unbearable?
Somewhere along the line, the mission of reporting changed from “getting the story” to “bringing down the presidency”, with the media being the decider of which presidents need bringing down.
I shouldn’t really say the media, because they don’t make the decisions anymore, even the local affiliates are told what stories to cover and exactly what phrases to use, right down to the weather report.
It’s some globalist somewhere on high, making the call.
Which is why we see Stormy Daniels on 60 Minutes instead of coverage of the latest revelation of child rape on a massive scale.
Yous have been feasting on this for weeks. I called “Distraction”. Couldn’t get my word in edgewise.
All I know is that things have changed a lot. I remember back in the 2004 presidential campaign when all it took was for Howard Dean to let out a yelp and it was enough to sink him.
Normalizing Trump is what happened.
We Trump supporters were well aware of his flaws when we picked him.
Compared to what the Democrats and Republicans were prepared to foist on us, the man is a saint.

Are you using “Restant” in it’s French meaning?
Then you would be mixing French and Latin.
Unless my pointing this out to you is Ad Hominem in your eyes, in which case I suggest that you not read my comments.
Just read your own, you’ll feel more comfortable.
Perhaps I degress. Miss the ,how people marching, will stop deranged people frim killing. I also wonder about the carbon foot print of all those good hearted clear seeing folk to get them all the way to Pennsylvania ave.
I wonder if the left will take the mantel climate change denial (they took so well to Mccarthyism) so they can keep jet setting around yelling about domestic social issues, while the world burns from oil and water wars. Ohh yeah and from actual fires. My view here in Oregon is sometimes front row.
Visited the Columbia River and Portland two years ago and it sickens me to see the destruction from the wildfires. I have done research on the global warming issue and am convinced the equatorial area is definitely warming especially the oceans. The increasing storms.and melting North Pole are indications that Earth is trying to cool itself using the ice cap. Increasing temperature gradients increase atmospheric and oceanic flux aka storms. Pushing more matter towards the pole cools faster, the rub is that the icy air conditioner may not last, and then what? The real issue is that not much can be done about it. All the humans expelling energy just adds to the buildup and the increasing CO2 traps more heat slowing the temperature loss component going off into space. Basically, we are screwed. And the trivial changes proposed in Paris are inconsequential.
Oregon is a lovely place. I hope you do not have too many more wildfires. But we who live in the West know that this is part of life here.
Those are not people who care about a carbon footprint. Why would you think they would?
Mr. Kunstler,
One of your best posts to date…inspired!
” an enticing fleshy slot descending into deep milky realms of mystery), but just innocently swimming around in there like a couple of frolicking dolphins confined in an above-the-ground backyard pool. Who wouldn’t want to jump in and swim with them?”
You may, perhaps, have a future in the Genre…almost Mickey Spillane…ish. Bravo!
JHK: “Who wouldn’t want to jump in and swim with them? Maybe not the undistractible Anderson Cooper…”
Undistractable because he’s gay. We may have just discovered why homosexuality is a survival trait for the species — here’s a man you can plunk in a room with a hot blonde, and he can keep his head while all the horndogs (teenage and otherwise) around him are losing theirs. C’mon, prove me wrong! 🙂
Strangely enough, I had a gay man advance a similar theory to me.
Whatever the truth is about that things get out of control once eunuchs get into the picture.
The eunuch admiral Cheng He is still remembered with respect and awe in Southeast Asia, where he showed up with a formidable armada – but not for a military invasion.
China simply wished to flaunt its wealth and power, in a neighborly manner (sound familiar?)
Rather like what we refer to in the business world today as a “non-deal road show”.
thanks for the confirmation EH

They want you arguing over who should and shouldn’t be called a terrorist based on what ideology you subscribe to and what color the latest killer’s skin was. They do not want you talking about the way the label “terrorist” itself is being used to justify unconstitutional detentions, torture, mass surveillance, and wars.
They want you arguing over whether to support the Democrats because the Republicans will take civil rights away from disempowered groups or Republicans because the Democrats will take away your guns and force you to bake gay wedding cakes. They don’t want you talking about the fact that both parties advance Orwellian surveillance, neoliberal exploitation and neoconservative bloodshed in a good cop/bad cop extortion scheme to keep Americans cheerleading for their own enslavement.
They want you arguing about whether Trump did or did not collude with Russia. They do not want you looking at what preexisting agendas the CNN/CIA Russia narratives are advancing and who stands to benefit from them.

That’s it!
The unipolar regime disintegrated, as expected, just in time to the vernal equinox, the start of the New Year in major world religions.
The symbolic event marking the completion of the transition was the Trump’s call, congratulating Putin on winning the election and calling for negotiations.
The beginning of the “military actions” by the Trump administration in the world trade war against China and Europe means the impossibility of revenge and the resumption of a “unipolar” strategy based on the cold war against Russia.
The Kremlin’s combat readiness to give a full-scale “hot” rebuff to provocations for the sake of escalating the “cold” military confrontation with local “hot” conflicts – helped Trump cut the War Party out of the power block and transferred them from the anti-Russian “cold military” front to the anti-China financial and trade war.
The Russophobic rhetoric will not abate at once, but “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never break me.” The dogs bark, the caravan goes on. Russia got a time out to concentrate on its internal problems.
The Russophobic hysteria of the City of London “allies” of the United States is largely related to their share participation in Chinese finance and trade. The banking system of Shanghai and Hong Kong, and the southern clans of the Chinese elite in general, are connected with City of London since the days of the “Opium Wars”. So one do not need to pretend that the anti-Trump hysteria in the US and the global media was not in part fueled by the common City of London-Chinese interest in weakening the US, preserved as a donor for their joint alternative globalization project.
The City of London position as a political arm of the “Money Changers” financial elite was still shaky and ambivalent. On the one hand, it was necessary to weaken Trump, acting in concert with the Clintonoids in US and putting together the “right-left” bipartisan anti-Trump coalition. Thus, trying to prevent US trade war with China, or at least weaken it.
On the other hand, to prevent Trump from being totally removed from office so that the Clintonoids would seize power in the US, and within the framework of cold war against Russia they would take the City of London under their financial control, including their crypto-offshore network.
Although a very tough “cold war” pushing Russia into China’s arms as a free provider for business security would also be beneficial.
The national bureaucracy and the non-financial capital of the United States were not born yesterday, either. If they did not understand these global patterns, they would have given the chance to win the election to Hillary Clinton in the fall of 2016, which just represented the shadow alliance of the loudest Russophobic “neocons” from both parties with the pro-City of London faction of the establishment.
However, after the symbolic present by Putin, who gave Comrade Xi the ice cream box, that is, his readiness to share a large block of the Cold War with China, Hillary’s popularity among the key players of the American establishment fell sharply.
Nevertheless, even after the loss in election, the pro-China/pro-City of London party, within the United States with the main base in California continued to attack the nationally oriented forces and behind-the-scenes coalition of Trump and Putin with even greater frenzy.
So…. do you garner purpose and enjoyment from being the turd in the punch bowl at Kunstler’s Clusterfuck house party… or what? What [very little] I read contained not a whit of levity or commendable snark. Get with the theme, man; get with the theme!
Sorry, Ozone, that dirty dancing on prime time TV bores the shit out of me.
I need my daily dose of intellectual “high”.
Well… okay then; whatever blows your hair back. Go on wid it!
Speculative at best Finca, but I do respect your willingness to “get all jiggy wid’ it” in your own rather oddball eggheaded way. I’ll bet you are or were a hoot at the university academic mixers!
It is like the whole world patting their tummy with one hand and scratching their head with the other.
Boy Fincaln, you sure know how to make a fella stop in his tracks. I went back and re-read that dense prose exposition of yours three times to ascertain how to fit it into what I’ve learned about the global players.
You sure do get a fella thinking. Thanks for that (I guess). I’ll be working it over in my brain for some time.
One major question
Who is funding these women to expose themselves to ridicule and in Stormy’s case give up her $130000 to tell her story. ??? $130000 that she probably doesn’t have anymore anyway. Some group is funding all of this, maybe the same group that funded all the Clinton stuff.
This must be the Setup Line for the straightman to deliver: “George Soros”.
getting old
It is bigger than Soros.
you mean me?
All the really big Jews are Pro-Trump. You’re really marking yourself here.
Janos,
Here’s the thing.
The Big Jews go for the tax cuts.
The Big Jews like to derogatory Agenda.
Even the support for Israel
But we hate the guy. He is never invited. 70 years we have shunned him.
He’s NOTHING IN NYC
Should be “deregulatory” agenda.
“derogatory” is a attitude that I reserve for you Herr Janos.
Soros is a servant of the Rothschilds – and no one is bigger as far as we know.
I’m sure Stormy stands to gain handsomely, well in excess of a few $million that Trump’s lawyers like Cohen might (unlikely) get by suing her for violating the NDA, let alone the $130k she would give to Trump (clever of her lawyer to offer it to Trump and not Cohen) in exchange for tearing up the NDA.
No funding needed from political types. A savvy book publisher has probably already advanced her a nice sum in exchange for exclusivity in the first book she writes.
@JohnAZ
She’s also up to her ta-ta’s in trouble with a 20M (1M per count) breach of contract (confidentiality?) lawsuit over the $130k payment. Her sniveling attorney, who doesn’t know whether to shit, or go blind, claims that he will prevail.
Hate to say it, but it’s gonna be fun watching this one play out.
WTF was she thinking?
Yes, Trump must crush her. Teach these insolent whores to honor contracts.
Janos,
Who’s to say if she really is a whore. Maybe he did not pay all that money for sex…maybe he paid it for her to leave afterwards….
To Janos, “whore” is a synonym for “woman”. Kind of explains his success rate.
Now, the way it is…Trump’s the whore. Maybe you need more time to see that.
“maybe he paid it for her to leave afterwards….”
Isn’t that the joke that prostitutes themselves tell about what their punters are paying for?
The whole “Stormy” story is not so much about Trump as it is about Cohen. It’s also more of a canary in the coal mine rather than the main event overall.
Trump is losing his entire legal team in one way or another, and eventually he’s going to wind up in front of Mueller, against what little legal advice remains talking to him, where he will gleefully have his Colonel Jessup moment.
Bruce E,
And perhaps his Captain Queeg moment shortly after that!
“Ahh, the strawberries… and the *cake*…I had two pieces; but they didn’t want me to have two… yes, yes, they’re all against me… {click, click, click}”
At least he didn’t do it in the Oval Office……. with an intern (which is sexual harassment)…….. and then lie about it………… All the people (mostly women) that told me (and everyone else) back in 1999 that ‘everybody does it’ or ‘it’s just about sex’ needs to STFU about this one. IMHO.
Sexual harassment has to be unwelcome.
What bothers me is all the women who still try to dismiss and cover for Bill Clinton’s alleged real crimes against women.
As late as the last election, Andrea Mitchell of NBC took it upon herself, during the 6 p.m. newscast, to tell the lie that Juanita Broaddrick had been “discredited”.
Your “Saint” forces himself on females.
And you admire him for that.
No no no no no no no Yes
If you are wondering what that is it defines human sexuality.
Sounds like you got a way with women. not
And propagation of the species!
You validating “No no no no no no no Yes” to propagate the species?
Or yes no no – yes no no – yes no no if you choose to practise the rhythm method.
Not that I’m validating anything.
GreenAlba,
I admire a woman who controls her own body.
What are you doing in a place like this?
“What are you doing on a place like this?”
A nice girl like me? 🙂
Re the remark immediately above, I was kidding. I did feel a bit bad that my joke might have added levity to the possible suggestion that no doesn’t mean no, but I figured no-one would think I meant that. And I added the disclaimer anyway.
I see a lot of awful attitudes on here (I originally came just because I’d read The Long Emergency but themes have expanded) but having read lots of K-Dog’s posts I genuinely don’t think he means overriding a genuine ‘no’ is OK. If I thought he did, I wouldn’t have put levity anywhere near it.
You’re right to make the point, though, if you disagree.
GreenAlba,
You good with this reply to you?

O’Greeny, you old horndog, you!
As for Kunstler, P.S. 6 and Shock Theater were summits. Take a look and you’ll be hooked: http://www.zacherley.com/
On here, that’s almost a term of endearment, dannyboy 🙂
Green Alba,
My expectations run higher, that’s the reason I stop by Clusterfuck Nation only seasonally.
This is my Spring visit, to findi out what those who feel Alien are thinking.
dannyboy
My reality runs higher. I don’t know a living person in real life who talks or thinks the way some people do on here. But it’s useful to get out of one’s bubble, so as not be caught unawares by other realities than one’s own. They might end up impinging on my own reality one day. Possibly with firearms 🙂 .
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
GreenAlba,
The disenfranchised are more predictable than you’d think. I drop in randomly to see if they’ve changed, but never once have I detected any.
I do appreciate your wishes: “Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.” I am well planned, only returning to nyc after researching the situation. Mostly, Mexico and another geography house me most.
My one concern is for the reactions of the Clusterfuckers-types when they get full-Trumped. They CAN get pissy.
BTW, Kunstler just wrote me an email suggesting that I curtail my use of repugs (which is fine with me, as I consider the other gang “depugs). Ironic however, that it’s ok with him for amb to insult gays (and everyone else, while he’s at it), but Kunstler wants PC with the “Politically Correct”.
In other words, she doesn’t know one person who voted for Brexit, just like most American Liberals don’t know one person who voted for Trump. The answer for America is separation. There no good reason such different peoples should be in the same political unit.
GA
My father taught me.
The woman always decides.
Janos
My brother’s mother-in-law, who lives on her own in a five-bedroom house and has way more money than I do, voted Brexit. But she’s not bright. She voted for Brexit because she doesn’t like low-energy lightbulbs (standards agreed by the countries of the EU). Her words.
I have a female friend/colleague I go to the cinema with. Her in-laws all voted for Brexit too. Not her sister, who’s a doctor, married to a Spanish doctor (they live in the English Lake District). He didn’t get a vote, obviously. He rarely gets home before 9pm and the NHS desperately needs him. Let’s hope he doesn’t get kicked out and split a family up, eh?
K-Dog
I figured that. And that you’d teach your son the same.
PS Janos, I was talking about xenophobia and antisemitism, not Brexit. My husband flirted with the idea of voting Brexit, because, like a lot of us, he’s not mad about some of the EU establishment. But he voted against it and, since the vote, sees the outcome as turning out to be exactly as shambolic as predicted.
But when there are 30-mile tailbacks at the Channel ports while time is wasted checking acres of paperwork, do feel free to show your solidarity with the lorry drivers by offering them free tea. Don’t be surprised if they chuck it over you, though.
And then you can help out with the Irish peace process, since you haven’t yet proposed a solution to the Irish border problem. Amazingly, not many people have.
re ‘her in-laws’, I should have said some of her family, including some of her in-laws’…
K-Dog
I figured that. And that you’d teach your son the same.
Exactly right!
Hubbie would have been kicked out of the house if he didn’t vote against Brexit. But maybe he did. You guys still have the secret ballot I hope? Don’t you wish you could be sure? Make him submit to a lie detector? Pretty exciting idea, huh?
Alba, what does the “Irish Peace Process” matter if the Ireland 2040 Plan goes thru? A million immigrants in twenty years will solve ALL of Ireland’s problems – just like burning a village saves it.
Janos
“Hubbie would have been kicked out of the house if he didn’t vote against Brexit. But maybe he did. You guys still have the secret ballot I hope? Don’t you wish you could be sure? Make him submit to a lie detector? Pretty exciting idea, huh?”
Please stop being stupid. Just for an instant. He didn’t. And if he had, that’s entirely up to him. You err when you judge other people by your own standards.
My mother voted Tory all her life. My father voted Labour, because he couldn’t understand how any working class person could vote Tory. Anyway, I suggested to them once that they might as well stay at home, as they cancelled out each other’s vote every time. But they still went out together and cast their respective votes in exactly the opposite direction and then came home together and got on with their lives.
Their difference in views led to a lot of healthy discussion in our family, for which I am grateful (although it didn’t lead to any one of their children becoming a Tory voter).
That’s how people who love each other behave, Janos. I hope you may find out about it one day.
Quite often he doesn’t vote at all, but don’t you think it’s nice that he can vote at all when he’s not even a British citizen and has an Irish passport?
Nice when countries can reconcile and behave well towards one another after an appalling history.
The ‘he’ in that last bit referred to my husband. I forgot it was there because I inserted the other bit in between.
“Alba, what does the “Irish Peace Process” matter if the Ireland 2040 Plan goes thru? A million immigrants in twenty years will solve ALL of Ireland’s problems – just like burning a village saves it.”
The peace process matters now. Your ignorance about the implications of Brexit for it result from your myopic obsessions and are evidence of your hypocrisy. You don’t care about the Irish – you care about your idee fixe.
Did you read the links I posted for you towards the end of the previous thread? Lots of nice posts about how stringent the Irish authorities are in rejecting asylum seekers and illegal immigrants and how many of them are sent back at the airport or kept in detention and then sent back. Maybe you missed them, but you’d have liked them, so a shame if you did.
Most of the immigrants you’re worried about will come from the EU, so a fair number of them will share their Catholicism with the existing Irish population. Although it has to be said that Catholic Ireland is a lot less Catholic than it was. My Irish sister-in-law from Dublin told me it wasn’t the kiddie-fiddling that turned the tide – it was the Catholic bishop who didn’t want to acknowledge his own illegitimate son. That was a red line for family-oriented Ireland. Nobody likes hypocrites.
Ireland’s immigration policy is for Ireland to decide. Since the 2040 plan is not in any way hidden and is on an open website, I think we can assume that the Irish – if they turned their collective face against the arrogance of the Catholic church in telling them how to live their lives all those years – will find the same energy to throw out any government which has decided on a path they don’t like. So I’ll leave it to them and so should you.
Did this Stormy person allege force? I must’ve missed that.
My saint is compared to the Bush/Clinton candidate, as I’ve said.
Hillary allegedly knew of her husband’s mistreatment of many many women, and helped hide it.
I’m talking criminal mistreatment.
I don’t admire anyone for tawdry sex, but I also do not judge fitness for office on past sexual indiscretions.
Where did the money go, that was raised to provide housing for the Haitians, after a massive earthquake? We can count the number of houses on our fingers.
We were supposed to elect a Bush or a Clinton again?
Read Storm’s account of the incident in the parking lot.
Forces himself?
That is not what was said!
And conversely everyone who called for Clinton’s impeachment back then must call for Trump’s now? Or should they just go back in time and STFU about Clinton then?
Cuts both ways, IMHO…
Also, Clinton wasn’t actually impeached for the sex. He was impeached because of lying about sex.
Good thing Trump never lies…
That was a bogus case then, and it would be even more ridiculous now, as Donald Trump’s alleged behavior took place or didn’t long before he entered politics.
Why was anyone even asking President Clinton about sex? I will tell you why. Because he made the mistake of keeping on a Bush appointee.
He later decided if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em, and that’s how the Bush/Clinton Dynasty was formed.
Of course this whole Stormy thing is just what Trump ordered — something ridiculous to pretend “oh, this is just about sex, and she’s a porn start, and whatabout Clinton,” and yada yada yada, while at the end of the day what it’s really about is everything else that’s going on.
It’s just precious to see Trump attempt to play the “victim” to this super-mean porn star and her well-dressed gay MSM gent, as if Trump is really being bullied by them.
Trump is just pissed that she’s better at this making-money-off-of-the-spectacle thing than he is, and he thinks that’s his schtick.
In summary, Trump can’t get along with anyone for long.
60 Minutes wants dirty laundry on the set because dirty laundry gets viewers, and viewers bring advertising dollars to the bankrupt MSM that is finding it ever more difficult to make a buck in these hard times. ‘Merica also identifies with whores at every level of bureaucracy & government. Whores are Capitalists not unlike Crony Capitalists that appropriated the lion’s share of disposable income gains from the throngs of masses that whores represent in the impoverished banana republic of the USA. Yes, Stormy Daniels sucks cock for a living, and like the J. Giles band, first she looks at the purse. In Cheeto’s case she hit the proverbial jack pot of wealth that pays a premium for non-disclosure. Clearly, at $130k per trick she is one of the world’s highest paid prostitutes of all time. She is a successful ‘Merican whore that knows how to land a whale when fishing. She is an expert at baiting the hook, and she is an expert at whoredom unlike the whores that occupy the Whore House in DC.
It’s too bad that a cheap slut like Stormy Daniels can upstage the entire Government of the United States of America on prime time Sunday night 60 Minutes, but that’s what the producers ordered knowing that the ratings for 60 Minutes would reach an all time high of record keeping.
Dirty laundry sells!
We want dirty laundry!
Get the whore on the set, we want dirty laundry!
RW
Hoor RW, the word is hoor!
I had thought that was principally Scottish and Irish slang.
In Ireland a ‘hoor’ can also just mean a roguish (young?) man. There’s a saying ‘cute Cavan hoor’ for gents of that county!

Another KEEN observation by elysianfield!
Just sayin’
did you mean: “It’s too bad that a cheap slut like The Donald can upstage the entire Government of the United States of America”?
She has a son. He is a Son of a Whore. How great must that feel.
Janos, you keep repeating “Whore”, “Whore”, Whore”!
You doing that jacking while you chant?
There’s a diagnosis for that.
We are witnessing the greatest change in the world economy in a thousand years or more.
The “market economy” in a traditional, liberal sense is effectively finished – markets will still have some input, but prices for all major imports will be managed on the governmental level through bilateral negotiations and long-term agreements – similar to the Soviet style GOSPLAN, but on the world-wide level.
Trump’s goal now is to begin managing in a manual mode prices for major imports coming into US, thereby setting the price of the dollar in relation to liquid commodities – metals, oil, LNG and so on.
Otherwise, these prices, and hence the management of the smooth deflation of the dollar bubble would be in the hands of the London, European and Chinese stock exchanges.
That is why the beginning of the current “strange”, unhurried trade war on the part of Trump is a blow to the British-Chinese coalition who with the help of global media was counting on the role of the main financial arbiter and a middle man.
Not the most cunning manipulators will win, but the players and coalitions with the longest lasting resources. What will also stimulate the formation of coalitions, the concentration of control over resources and markets by the largest players of each of the centers of the new multi-polar world.
So the goods and services we buy may come from anywhere in the world with prices set by the governmental idiots running all these countries instead of a competitive marketplace. Boy, does that give me a warm fuzzy feeling. I definitely will vote for Nationalists and not globalists.
You can only compete with coolie labor by becoming a coolie. Thank God for the return of the tariff.
I hate to ask it again Finc, but have you been at the bong again? First of all, global commodities prices have always been managed to some extent or another by governmental or quasi-governmental actors. The current global markets voodoo you seem to be so infatuated with has only been practiced for the past thirty years or so, and even then, only as a not so cleverly concealed device for the DC/London/Tel Aviv cabal to impose their economic will on the rest of the world in a manner only slightly more benevolent than actual physical warfare. Meaning that when Russia, China, and whoever else wisely joins their camp eventually supplants the US dollar as the global reserve currency, the US and GBR, as the owners of history’s most recent and spectacular failed empires, had better hope that the phrase “payback’s a motherf***er” doesn’t translate into their lexicon.
Scratch
I’m no expert, but it has always seemed obvious to me that the countries with the physical resources will win out (or re-emerge) in the end.
China’s good (they have most of the rare earth minerals that help make wind turbines, I believe), but they have other problems, including creeping desertification. Also Canada, Russia, yourselves to some extent… listing them all is above my pay grade. Even little Morocco’s lucky enough to have most of the world’s phosphate rock reserves – “the desert rock that feeds the world”. Always good to have something rare to sell that people really, really need.But it won’t last forever either. And let’s not even mention water.
But the UK (although not often short of water!) is a tiny country and industrialised first, so the iron ore, tin, coal etc. is long gone. And agriculture is necessarily intensive for the most part. Small, advanced countries that have used up their natural resources have to rely in their brains. Even Germany has to do that.
But with educational achievements growing exponentially in ‘developing’ countries, there are brains everywhere. The UK can still hold its own in many fields, notably science and research (a sector that will be shafted by Brexit, sadly). But you can’t count on your competitiveness lasting in those fields either.
When the smoke and mirrors dissolve, it comes back down to natural resources again. Using that perspective, the UK will go down quickly once the WMBH is ushered in. That’s why I’m happy for us to manage as best we can in the meantime, conserving resources and not wrecking the planet any more than we need to. Maybe my little grandson will live to see his teenage years before any trauma happens. Maybe he won’t, but you have to hope.
Some scientists reckon we’ve got 60 harvests left (the world, that is, not the UK). Even with little Morocco’s resources.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/only-60-years-of-farming-left-if-soil-degradation-continues/
“Generating three centimeters of top soil takes 1,000 years, and if current rates of degradation continue all of the world’s top soil could be gone within 60 years, a senior UN official said on Friday.” (Food and Agricultural Organization).
Tariffs and trade agreements won’t help that in the slightest – any more than the markets will.
And, as they say, ‘be nice to the people you meet on the way up, in case you meet them again on the way down’.
Although we should be nice to people anyway 🙂 .

Kunstler’s irreverent. I like that.
Maybe not the undistractible Anderson Cooper,

Kunstler, you provide a forum for this. No moderation?
And worse! It’s just Thwack being Thwack. He’s incorrigible.
Look who’s talkin?

“Moderation”. Can you not just say censorship? At least be an honest censor.
Bone smuggler?

Thwack,
Regarding the flute…
Your daddy was right.
Perhaps it is just human nature. The band on the Titanic played till the voyage ended.
guess everyone ought to remember that the White Star Line sent a bill to the band’s families for the unreturned uniforms.
So an assignation between a narcissist billionaire and a cum-spattered nit-wit is a story worthy of national attention according to their Exaltednesses at the tip of the societal pyramid.
Does this look to you like a swirl around history’s shitter? I’m just a simple mule-skinner but that’s how it looks to me.
I’m with you volodya. People like dannyboy really make you wonder how the human race continues (he has more concern about politesse and being politically correct than confronting and dealing with the outrages and atrocities in our society). He’s probably a Progressive-Liberal-Commie type.
amb (“ambidextrous”)
You using the left hand to type while the right pleasures? Sounds to me like you are typing & pleasuring while you could be out “confronting and dealing with the outrages and atrocities in our society”.
Unless pleasuring IS “confronting and dealing with the outrages and atrocities in our society” to you.
Don’t want to be a spoilsport or anything, but Liberal-Commie is an oxymoron. The Soviets weren’t really known for their liberality – lower or upper case (neither is Rocket Man). They did consider themselves progressive, of course, but that didn’t work out very well for them.
GreenAlba, you are never spoilsporting, you bring your intelligence as a breath of fresh air.
It’s Hippie-bashing from the Master bater.
Someone shoulda’ warned him about too much “‘bating”.
For a guy that doesn’t like Trump Kunstler spends quite a lot of print defending him each week. Go figure.
I think Kunstler identities with Trump’s bravado.
That traps him.
Reread this: “Trump dangled the possibility of a role on his fabulous TV show, Celebrity Apprentice. But I suppose that was just the cherry-on-top of a romantic confection baked in the oven of America’s great dream industry. As it happened, Stormy didn’t get on the show. I suspect she didn’t try hard enough.”
Kunstler even condones Trump’s double-dealings. Trump’s Rep.
Bravado? The only thing brave about Trump is his bank account. Stormy admitted she was not attracted to him and was not interested in sex. She had alterior motives and would have fucked a duck if benifited her. That Trump might have seen himself as a conquering hero is the delusion which buys women like Stormy groceries. Bravado no. Trump was doing what he does best. Having a free ride.
Bruce,
The “Trump” labeled buildings here are losing the branding. It is funny. I repeatedly wrote here about Trump’s bs. I even explained that here on Wall Street we would just let him make some investment and then repeatedly take it all from him. He went bankrupt repeatedly because he kept “losing his investments”.
Like taking candy from a baby. Or, in his case, like taking assets from a baby.
Bruce?
K-Dog,
Somehow the comment of mine that dannyboy is replying to disappeared…
I was saying that Trump’s bank account was more like bravado than bravery, in context, when he said that bravado =/= brave in response to your comment (his initial comment has also disappeared for some reason).
I had mentioned that Trump is almost certainly not nearly as wealthy as he wants us to believe he is, and that as his name goes from being a draw to being downright toxic (specific examples were hotels and apartment buildings who paid him to put his name on their signage), both his real and his apparent wealth plummets.
A bum getting a bum rap is never good. A bum getting just desserts is like American Express, priceless. It’s not hard to figure.
And we wonder why other countries in the world do not want to emulate us, or why the conservative Islamic countries consider us the spoor of the devil. Thanks Hollywood!
Yes, Hollywood and our media are scum.

Canadian activist Lauren Southern gets banned from the UK for life for “social experiment” (she said it, Elrond, not me) in which she displays banner in Luton calling Allah a “gay god.” This was after someone wrote an article claiming that Jesus was a “gay man.” Lauren wanted to show the hypocrisy in how attacks against Christianity are treated differently than those against Islam in the UK.
Yes, it was a puerile and attention-seeking stunt which was designed to provoke, no question there. And don’t you feel deprived now, Lauren, not being able to enter Old Blighty ever again, lol?

As in many other countries, freedom of expression is not allowed in the UK if it violates “public order” or is “hateful.” Thank God for the 1st Amendment.
She is not with the plan. The plan mandates population growth by immigration and the immigration will be coming from the Middle East.
http://npf.ie/
There is a bit more than “public order” behind this. Read for yourself. Population growth in a country with a negative birth rate. Even a dog can do that math. Multiculturalism is the new religion. Post-post modern world view don’t you know.
It is great if you are the one who collects the rent.
“As in many other countries, freedom of expression is not allowed in the UK if it violates “public order” or is “hateful.” Thank God for the 1st Amendment.”
You’ll be pleased to know, Tate, that some arrogated their rights to self-expression nevertheless in the course of the Brexit referendum.
A hard-right ‘Britain First’ aficionado killed an MP, Jo Cox, leaving her children motherless. Elsewhere, people with nothing between their ears shouted at random British-born Asians telling they were going to have to ‘go home’ (they were stupid enough to genuinely think this was what Brexit was about – and they got a vote like everyone else).
And a completely innocent Polish man was killed in the street after the vote. Hateful rhetoric has real-world consequences.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-38976087
“A majority of police forces in England and Wales saw record levels of hate crimes in the first full three months following the EU referendum, according to new analysis.
More than 14,000 hate crimes were recorded between July and September.”
Scotland, not so much, given the population seem to have been less sore losers than the nationalist English were sore winners.
Hey, Tate. Since you called me out, I’ll respond, based on my having read the following article about the same incident:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5544219/Canadian-far-right-activist-claimed-Allah-gay-gets-lifetime-ban-coming-UK.html
I’ll summarize my own reaction briefly: Lauren Southern was acting within the bounds of protected speech, and the UK government certainly should not have intervened to stop her, or to prevent her from exercising her right of freedom of speech.
And glory be, they didn’t. Intervene, I mean, or violate her freedom of speech. Southern went to the UK, did her thing and posted the video online — no one’s freedom of speech was violated. I haven’t gone to watch it, but I presume it’s still up and available.
The issue is, after doing the above, she then left the UK and tried to come back, whereupon she got stopped at Calais (i.e. at the UK border), detained, and was ultimately refused entry. She now has a lifetime ban on entering the UK.
I used to live in a border city (Windsor, Ontario) and we understood perfectly that when we went to visit Detroit, the border guards could stop us, question us, search our vehicles, and send us back if they wanted. My sister, who also lived in Windsor, herself worked for a time as a border guard on the Canadian side and dealt with all kinds of situations. No matter what Janos or anyone else bleats, I understand that international borders are a fact, and I’ve never argued against them; I’ve only ever pushed back against the faecal tide of racism and xenophobia that accompanies far too much of the rhetoric about borders around here.
Tate: “Freedom of expression is not allowed in the UK if it violates ‘public order’ or is ‘hateful.'”
Wrong-o. There’s no free speech issue here, none at all. The UK government is obliged to respect Lauren Southern’s freedom of speech, and they met their obligation. They also have exactly the same discretion to let people through their borders, or not, as does the U.S., Canada or North Korea. If they deem her a nuisance and won’t let her back in, that’s their bailiwick.
I think people are capable of making up their own minds after watching the video whether Lauren Southern’s free speech rights were violated. It’s arguable that she has no free speech rights; she’s not a British citizen; they have every right to deport her; perhaps the keeping of public order outweighs her free speech rights.
This is the real issue, public order. Clearly, the British authorities are frightened of her and of others like her and of their incendiary potential; they know they’re sitting on a bomb with a tripwire fuse. They are frightened because they know they can’t control the violent jihadis they have allowed to settle in large numbers in their island and who are outbreeding them five-to-one.
Let’s face it: the British authorities are trembling like chihuahuas in the beards of the kebab-vendors. An unspoken Sharia is in effect. Only someone willfully blind to the truth would deny it.
“Let’s face it: the British authorities are trembling like chihuahuas in the beards of the kebab-vendors. An unspoken Sharia is in effect. Only someone willfully blind to the truth would deny it.”
Only someone with no knowledge of the actual situation would say it. ‘Jihadis’ are an infinitestimally small proportion of Muslims in any western country.
The typical profile of the Jihadi killer or aspiring killer isn’t even a devout Muslim – it’s a petty criminal. These people are low-level psychopaths before they up their game to major psychopathy.
The IRA thugs and their Proddy counterparts were psychopathic thugs too. They finally handed in their weapons. They risk coming back out of the woodwork, though, if Brexit brings about a hard border again on the island of Ireland.
May says there won’t be one, but neither she nor anyone else has explained how that will happen if Northern Ireland leaves the Customs Union. You would almost think Brexiters weren’t into thinking too hard, wouldn’t you?
Sorry for moving off-piste a bit, but murderers of this ilk tend to share certain characteristics. And the IRA killed far more of the UK population than Jihadis have. Yet here we still are.
Bigots gonna bigot, GreenAlba. But it’s only human, after all. Even people of good will, albeit lacking in self-awareness, can jaw all day about their opinions and never notice how often they forgive Us for crimes they want Them crucified for.
That way of thinking actually comes much more naturally to human beings than does being consistent, and judging the in-group according to the same standards we apply to the out-group. Irish terrorism is a family affair, don’tcha know. So when they blow you up, look for the hint o’ green to comfort you in your dying moments.
Absolutely, Elrond.
The important thing, too, is that while the IRA were doing their worst, the average Catholic Northern-Irish person just wanted to have a job, have their kids go to a decent school and maybe to be able to afford to take their family on holiday.
Exactly like Muslims now.
And while the IRA were killing innocent people for the right to a united Ireland, the majority of decent people in the South wanted nothing to do with them. They just wished they could dig a moat between them and the North and push it off into the Atlantic to fight its bigoted battles far away. Or so my husband tells me and he was there.
So again, much like Muslims here, but without a convenient border for the moat.
Anyone would think there weren’t any Muslims in actual Muslim countries who’d given up their lives to fight the Jihadis.
Gonetohell, there’s many roadways to hell, the road paved with good intentions is one, the road paved with bad intentions is another. Or the way to hell can be found by climbing Everests of thought and intellect because, after all, we have a multiple nuclear armed countries, some of which have leaders and societies that look seriously deranged. How did that happen besides a handful of the world’s greatest geniuses making it so?
So now we have the American Deep State trying to nullify the results of the last presidential election. Impossible you say? It isn’t. But how are they doing it? Is it by trickery and deceit or by dint of brilliant and subtle scheming and conspiring? No, it’s by making up the most laughable accusations that have got zero chance of standing up to even the most cursory scrutiny.
But it gets much worse. The accusers themselves happen to be guilty of what they’re accusing Trump of doing. Impossible?
Why would it be impossible? The Democrats nominated a candidate as bad as that of the Republicans. That in itself should have been impossible but the Democrats managed it. And then they topped even that. Given the preposterous incompetence of the Republicans in running a campaign and a convention, in even managing to plagiarise one of Madame Obama’s speeches, the Democrats were even more preposterous in running theirs, for example, in neglecting to campaign in key states. The Clintons, in short, lost an unloseable election. This thing shouldn’t even have been close. It should’ve been US history’s biggest landslide.
There’s a lot that should have been impossible that actually wasn’t. Nobody at the apex of American society should be so imbecilic as to trust Russians with helping win a presidential election especially by means of subterfuge. Except apparently the Clinton campaign. Nobody in the Deep State should have been so idiotic as to put Clinton in the clear over her howling negligence while she was Secretary of State. Yet that happened too. No criminal intent they said, except that to the eyes of even a simple mule-skinner, this stunk like hell of a cover-up.
Kunstler’s defenses of Trump appear to me not so much as defenses of Trump but rather as condemnations and ridicule of those clowns and morons that are trying to get rid of him, that somehow found themselves behind the curtain pulling the levers. Can you imagine these fuck-ups actually running the Imperial United States of America? Impossible, you’d think. Except it isn’t.

To many things to think about these days with The Trump Show and minigame freak shack that is the USA this year.
It is 2018 already and The world still looks for the most part like it did that many years ago. We still enslave people, we still go on and on about Sexual topics, we still love to wage war and grind things up and haven’t learned any lessons on how to get off the planet and colonize the solar system.
What little changes we have made, seem minor. We haven’t figured out yet things I was sure we would have figured out when I was in High school writing about the future.
Trump is worse than R R for movie star turned Prez, In that he doesn’t even know how to read it seems, Oh he can do some 140 now 280 space chatting but giving his own Very Big words in a talk. It is like he is a stand up comedian and not a good one either.
As to his playboy status well yeah he was that, but his goon of a lawyer shouldn’t have had to pay stormy anything for her sex with him, why even open that ball of wax in the first place. His non-tweeting about her though is something to check out. He did file that counter suit to try and get 20 million from her, why the heck did he do that if he didn’t have sex with her and it was only his lawyer being a friend to pay her hush money?
Yeah yeah yeah, just sex.. but why all the gizmo gumbo about it?
What is he afraid of really?
I could care less about Bolton, I live in prime nuke target area, If they are going to nuke the USA they will likely just as well hit my part of the nature. Sure we are going to start a new war. Just like we are going to have more people use guns to kill some more people down at the shopping mall, where we are buying things we didn’t need.
What do I care about?
Um …..
Give me a bit to get back to you on that….
“ I never saw a man whose good fortune was a greater offence against propriety. His memory was so faulty that he would sometimes forget the name of Ulysses, or Achilles, or Priam, – names which we know as well as we know those of our own attendants. No major-domo in his dotage, who cannot give men their right names, but is compelled to invent names for them, – no such man, I say, calls off the names[3] of his master’s tribesmen so atrociously as Sabinus used to call off the Trojan and Achaean heroes. But none the less did he desire to appear learned. 6. So he devised this short cut to learning: he paid fabulous prices for slaves, – one to know Homer by heart and another to know Hesiod; he also delegated a special slave to each of the nine lyric poets. You need not wonder that he paid high prices for these slaves; if he did not find them ready to hand he had them made to order. After collecting this retinue, he began to make life miserable for his guests; he would keep these fellows at the foot of his couch, and ask them from time to time for verses which he might repeat, and then frequently break down in the middle of a word. 7. Satellius Quadratus, a feeder, and consequently a fawner, upon addle-pated millionaires, and also (for this quality goes with the other two) a flouter of them, suggested to Sabinus that he should have philologists to gather up the bits.[4] Sabinus remarked that each slave cost him one hundred thousand sesterces; Satellius replied: “You might have bought as many book-cases for a smaller sum.” But Sabinus held to the opinion that what any member of his household knew, he himself knew also. 8. This same Satellius began to advise Sabinus to take wrestling lessons, – sickly, pale, and thin as he was, Sabinus answered: “How can I? I can scarcely stay alive now.” “Don’t say that, I implore you,” replied the other, “consider how many perfectly healthy slaves you have!” No man is able to borrow or buy a sound mind; in fact, as it seems to me, even though sound minds were for sale, they would not find buyers. Depraved minds, however, are bought and sold every day. – Moral letters to Lucilius, exerpt, Letter 27
Your hi-lights may differ.
The word on the street is that if Mueller decides to indict Trump, He’s not gonna serve it to him, he’s gonna spank him with it.
Not
The Prosecutors and FBI plan to do one major sweep. The start the round-up as soon as their last squeaker squawks.
I was trying to make a joke about Trump getting spanked with a copy of Forbes magazine. Guess I didn’t do so well.
So while the US is immersed in reality TV unreality, with the pneumatic Stormy in center screen, there’s people wondering if a mysterious train that crossed the China-North Korea frontier is carrying the latter country’s Kimchee-in-Chief. If it’s true then what could it portend? Is Xi Jinping about sick and tired of Kim Jr’s acting out? Is he calling him on the carpet for making that offer of talks that Trump unexpectedly accepted? Is he tired of Junior going off script? Does anyone have any idea of what the script really sez? Don’t expect that the vaunted American intel agencies would have a sniff given that they’ve managed to muff pretty much everything that comes their way. YOU get to make the call yourself. So what is it?
It would be better if the word faggot could be reserved for use in conjunction with peas. It is not a helpful addition to the English language.

A small weather station in the yard is a nice thing to have. I am grateful to Mr. Kunstler for reporting and perspective. In the first place I receive the benefit of someone who has watched the most recent event without having to endure the nausea I would have felt had I tried to observe.
In addition I have the comment section that he provides which serves as an accurate barometer of the environment.
Let us take a little stroll down history lane – “America Love it or Leave It”, “Footprint of the American Chicken”, “My Country Right or Wrong”, national acceptance of the events in Dallas, Memphis and Los Angleles, Iran-Contra, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria.

Moving away from the titillating discussions about T and A, let me bring up another version, thinking and analyzing, knowing of course that we can always return to the often much more delightful, but often much less fulfilling, pleasures of the flesh.
Does anybody think that there are similarities between Eichmann and Trump? Anyone remember the “banality of evil” or “the rule of no one”? If not, here’s a refresher with Hannah Arendt:
https://www.brainpickings.org/2017/02/07/hannah-arendt-the-banality-of-evil/
Definite similarities.
Here in nyc, most know of Fred Trump’s flirtation with Nazism. The Donald played on that with both his Birther Movement, his housing discrimination, his refusal to pay his minority workers, his persecution of the Central Park Five…
Ivana gave him up on his Nazi fascination. He read Hitler speeches at night, rather than his husbandry duty (Sorry for that last phrase, but you wanted to get away from the sex discussion.)
Yet Trump is a consistent supporter of Israel, much less critical and I dare say subversive than the previous admistration.
brh
Central Park Five? Black rapists of a White jogger? You really have your priorities in order.
Trump and Rudi saved your island. This is the thanks they get.
“Central Park Five? Black rapists of a White jogger? ”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Park_jogger_case
You mean the Central Park Five who were framed and later had their convictions quashed because:
“In 2002, Matias Reyes, a convicted murderer and serial rapist in prison, confessed to raping the jogger, and DNA evidence confirmed his guilt. He knew facts about the crime that only the offender could have known and also said he committed the rape alone.”
Janos, I didn’t think even you would stoop this low. But, really, why am I even surprised?
You owe your God an apology, I think. He doesn’t like people messing with the truth.
“Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.””

How many Whites [of both genders] get raped by Blacks, each year?
Huh.

Huh…
You mean the Central Park Five who were framed and later had their convictions quashed because:
***********************
They got convicted because they tried to lie about having ANY knowledge of the event; instead of confessing to the parts they played in the crime
Back in the day they would have been hung from a tree, one after the other until one of them decided to talk.
Lucky savages.
All you people who keep comparing your bad guy du jour (Trump and others) to Adolf Hitler, are actually rehabilitating the Fuhrer and trivializing his crimes. You promote the reasoning: “If old Adolf is equivalent to Trump, how bad can Hitler have been? “. Is that your intention?
The ultimate example of this was when Roseanne compared her ex-husband, comedian Tom Arnold , to Hitler. So sad.
I suspect that banality of evil phrase is just, well, a banality. Was it Arendt who coined it? I suppose evil can be casual, in fact I am pretty certain about that, but banal? It reminds me of Armstrong’s ‘one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind’. Grown-ups kept repeating it at the time, in a mysterious, knowing kind of way, as if it actually meant something, when all it was was he fluffed his line or the word ‘a’ was lost in space.
I don’t think Trump had a “poke in the whiskers” with Stormy. I think he has a bit of OCD, and a fear of germs, and is probably incapable of having sex with a hoor. Too many worries for it to be ‘fun.’
I am reading Steven Pinker’s new book, “Englightenment Now–The Case for Reason, Science, Humanism, and Progress.” It’s so upbeat, I may have to give up checking in on CF Nation!

The Times of London calls EU countries to hijack Russian Passenger Planes
Closing Ranks
Now it is time for the EU, in its summit communiqué, to face reality. With its backing it will be more effective to freeze Russian state assets, to subject Russian property purchases to close scrutiny and to deny visas to human rights abusers. It would be useful for EU states to throw Russian spies out of embassies and it is worth considering the seizure of Aeroflot planes that have in the past carried assailants to Britain.

What’s the prognosis on Trump? No end to the wars; No infrastructure rebuild; No draining of The Swamp; No “Lock Her Up”; No Wall; Cut taxes for corporations; Recognized Jerusalem; More Military spending
Q: “What’s the prognosis on Trump? No end to the wars; No infrastructure rebuild; No draining of The Swamp; No “Lock Her Up”; No Wall”
A: Trump figures that his supporters expect to be taken advantage. He victimizes his base and gains their support.
Q: “Cut taxes for corporations; Recognized Jerusalem; More Military spending”
A: Money, money, money. That’s what this has been about for his 70 years. But, in fairness, his Grandpa ran prostitution houses and his dad was a Nazi, bigot, and cheated our veterans out of the housing that Eisenhower authorized.
Trump is ballooning the debt and raising interest rates?
“The key point was that the combination of tight money and a mountainous government debt was a perilous one for the economy as a whole:”
Niall Ferguson
The House of Rothschild
No end to the wars – that others started
No infrastructure rebuild – look at omnibus bill
No draining of the swamp. Fired the FBI mgmt., fired McMaster, and more to come, hard to do with the bureaucracy staffs
No lock her up – never has there been a greater cover up by law enforcement of a bigger crook. See also draining the swamp
No Wall – guilty 1.6 billion down total blockage by Dems
Cut taxes to Corps – which was either bonuses to employees or given as raises or passed through to stockholders i.e. Pensions IRA’s etc. this is the biggest stinker from the Dems
And cuts to middle class in form of doubling the standard deduction
Recognized Jerusalem – it is about time, the Jews of Israel are the only sanity in the Middle East, followed by Saudi Arabia.
More military spending – just watch a few helps or planes dropping out of he sky and training accidents . The sequestration really screwed up our military.
Ballooning the debt – now that is humorous after 8 years of driving the debt up ten trillion dollars. This big increase may have made the approaching cliff speed up a lot. Omnibus bill 1.3 trillion Democrats plus military, total capitulation across the aisle in Congress , Trump should have vetoed it but he wanted his military.
Interest rates. Increased tariffs etc. con job just watch this phony ass angle go away as Trump does the one on one trade deals to equal out the trade deficit. Trade deficits have about bankrupted this country. America First, until things are equal, the hell with everyone else. If it costs a little more, so be it.
Q: “Cut taxes to Corps – which was either bonuses to employees or given as raises or passed through to stockholders i.e. Pensions IRA’s etc. this is the biggest stinker from the Dems”
A: Trump gave corporations the biggest present they have ever received. He said so himself.
Q: “More military spending – just watch a few helps or planes dropping out of he sky and training accidents . The sequestration really screwed up our military.”
A: The military spend will bankrupt the country and, by the way, be used in lots of wars that your fellow Americans will die in.
Q: “Ballooning the debt – now that is humorous after 8 years of driving the debt up ten trillion dollars. This big increase may have made the approaching cliff speed up a lot. Omnibus bill 1.3 trillion Democrats plus military, total capitulation across the aisle in Congress , Trump should have vetoed it but he wanted his military.”
A: Trump made Debt Great Again. The Fed’s raising rates, making debt services impossible to meet. Trump wasn’t vetoing anything, he wants that Military Industrial Spending in his pocket.
Q: “Interest rates. Increased tariffs etc. con job just watch this phony ass angle go away as Trump does the one on one trade deals to equal out the trade deficit. Trade deficits have about bankrupted this country. America First, until things are equal, the hell with everyone else. If it costs a little more, so be it.”
A: The trade war will kick of global depressions and wars. Enjoy!

The Founders said to stay out of foreign wars. How do so many Americans miss that? How did Conservatism become the traveling Red, White, and Blue Death Machine?
“The modern conservative is engaged in one of man’s oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.”
JK Galbraith
Often that selfishness (believing you’re entitled to more than your fair share) leads to wars. But in that search for a superior moral justification, you can claim (a) regime change because you er… feel sympathy for the oppressed in their own country or (b) that they have weapons of mass destruction aimed right at you.
If you were a prison guard, would you shoot a prisoner trying to escape?
JS: I mean my real fear about guns in school is that these altercations where we’ve seen, you know, staff at schools slamming black children down or putting them in a headlock or restraining them by extreme force or doing other things that may not be physical assault but are meant to humiliate them in retribution, in revenge for some perceived slight — that now you’re going to have some of these hotheads in schools, not necessarily teachers but other staffers who have guns? And what are those altercations going to look like now if those staffers have guns on them?
that’s the idea.
A six year old 80 POUND Black child permanently injured a White teacher. These people grow up faster and earlier than Whites. Putting White kids in with them is cruelty beyond measure. Thank God Whites are starting to turn away from “teaching” them. Our minority schools are simply part time prisons. It’s time to admit that. And if Blacks want to teach their own exclusively, let them. Integration has failed as was inevitable.

Late last fall he appeared with his ‘husband’ at a concert venue in Wallingford CT extolling the virtues and joys of men marrying men. The show got a rave review in the local press. The Governor and his staff were in attendance, and you can imagine what his staff is made up of.

Q: “JFK, Ted Kennedy, Chris Dodd, Bill Clinton, did they ever get any on the side? Just askin? If so it never made it onto 60 minutes.”
A: They stayed away from Stormy’s and piss-slaves.
Q: “Now let’s examine Anderson Cooper’s sex life.”
A: But Anderson Cooper!
Every time you excuse your President’s behavior by pointing to another, is another normalization of his degeneracy.
that’s just the thing, Danny.
Who says what she claims is true, and that it happened like she describes it? Maybe she’s lying. Has there been an investigation, or just accusation levelled? No due process, which seems to characterize most of the MEtoo movement. Accusing a person of this or that indiscretion seems to immediately add up to certain guilt.
that’s how things go down in totalitarian societies. It was a main feature of Soviet ‘justice’ in the 1930s.
brh
BRH,
I have no reason to believe Stormy Daniels.
Reread my Comment. I don’t want to demonize “JFK, Ted Kennedy, Chris Dodd, Bill Clinton” on your accusation.
And wtf does Anderson Cooper have to do with all these names, including Trump?
It was Cooper who conducted the salacious interview.
anyway Danny nice hearing fom you again and take care of yourself.
brh
Needless to say he’s not Stormy Daniel’s type.
No, SD is not his type.
Whites have been deeply wronged and our anger and resentment are inevitable. We would not be human if we didn’t object to becoming second class citizens in our own Nation and nations. And NO, we are not represented by all the White Congress critters. They are Class Tyrants and nothing more. We have no lobby to call our own – nor even the right to our own organizations.
I think Mr Kunstler may realize the problem, and the legitimacy of our grievances, even if not approving of our solutions and outlook per se.
Janos,
I just want you to know that no matter when the chips are down, even in your deepest darkest hour…
you still have thwack.
I fight all the good fights and do some damage.
Thats why Im in the position Im in today.
Stop whining and get in the fight.
Tally ho!
You are the only other man here who understand whores. In Russia it’s common. The woman who ran for President kept having melt downs, weeping, throwing water on other candidates at debates, and running off stage as everyone laughed and called her a whore.
Sometimes in the Men’s movement, young men start raving about all Men uniting against all Women. Ridiculous. I mean let’s not get carried away. Muslims have their Women under control and are taking ours. They don’t need Whites at all since they are winning. And Blacks want our Women too. There can be no Union, but there can be appreciation at times.
You are the only other man here who understand whores.
I can’t believe you just wrote that. Could you just take a tiny tiny peek at your logic? A glance over your shoulder at it won’t hurt too much.
And Blacks want our Women too.
*****************
actually, we want them all; not that theres anything wrong with that…
Im just saying.
“The woman who ran for President kept having melt downs, weeping, throwing water on other candidates at debates, and running off stage as everyone laughed and called her a whore.”
They certainly don’t it like that in the UK. No handbags at dawn with Maggie T or Treeza.
But did they not do it to themselves?

All they have to do is establish community but everybody has been fractured and atomized into an ineffectual white ignorant mist.
All whites ever had to do and all they have to do do now is establish community but there is Shakespeare would say, a rub, the raw material is not so good. From the beginning of today’s article.

And far worse than useless eaters ever could be. These people vote!
Jumpin Jezebel! If you can get a lobby out of this mess, go for it.
Sure, but do the Pushers (Media, Hollywood, Leftist Academics, Job exporters) get off free? Look, let’s face it: the lower classes are lost without the higher classes. I’m not talking just economically, but also in terms of education and culture. Instead of sympathizing with them, you folks take perverse joy in their downfall – like a disembodied head laughing as its body bangs into walls and begins to walk towards the highway.
Stop laughing, Dog. The Black feet and Brown arms you intend to adopt won’t fit you very well – if they can even be adopted at all.
The part that sucks is that they actually do get off free. In a slow collapse they thrive. In a hard collapse they fall not as hard.
What do you mean ‘you folks’. I’m a Midwest boy originally and the lower classes work for a living. I still do. I suppose one could call the dispossessed a lower class but not I for I have been one of them for a while myself. I could be one of them again if my dice rolls the wrong way.
Watch what you see as perverse joy. Perhaps you see frustration and don’t know it.

Your description of Whites applies to everyone in this country now. The decline of America is ubiquitous.
Remember the King of the Mountain game? The idea was when someone was on the top , everyone else’s job was to knock him off. This is a basic trait of humanity! Power drive is so lovely. Well, the European culture and persona are the top of the mountain now and everyone else is trying to knock it down so that they will be on top. And it matters not who wins, everyone else will then try to knock down the new guy. It is a perpetual game. And guess what, no one wins!
This is the description of a third world country. It is also the description of the MO of the Democratic Party now. And elements of the GOP, normal people stop playing games like this when they turn eleven years old, maybe this explains the Deep State.
And whoever knocks us off – I guarantee that whatever they build won’t equal White Western Culture. We were unique – that’s why everyone wants in and why the Elite are trying to destroy us first before they take down the World.
Your wording will be better next time. Consider it practice.
That was for DrGonzo. My bad.
Jim, you kill me.
In this most portentous of investigations, and with Mueller’s horse breath hot on his nape, Trump’s legal team is now down to one mouthpiece – Jay Sekulow.
Trump has been calling Rob Porter of late, thinking of bringing him back after his resignation because of allegations of spousal abuse, and one of his ex’s sporting a serious shiner. Trump’s isolation grows along with his desperation.
My gut tells me that the POTUS did pump the porn star years ago, and he did so shortly after Melania gave birth to Barron. Yeah, and the slut took to his butt, that too. As the saying goes, he’s got a lot of class, most of it low. What will Melania do, just suffer?
The Dems are grinding away, and after the budget bill I’m sure that the number of TWATs increased considerably. Excuse please, but I find the acronym well suited – Trump Weary And Tired.
The chaos will continue, with interest rates rising and the tariffs imposed. Consumers will pay more. Even after the tax cuts, Sprint raised my phone bill’s administrative fee. Go figure. Okay, so it’s mouse nuts.
It’s a terrible dilemma. Voting for Trump again seems revolting. But so does the alternative. I’m guessing that it won’t be Trump. The prosaic Pence? After this raucous Republican ride, the demonic Dems will be voting with a vengeance and will shit can MAGA for MADA.
“So Stormy says she and Trump had sex only once. I guess if you want the guy to screw you repeatedly, you have to be one of his voters,” Coulter tweeted Monday.
Trump is sinking. Fast.
Trump is sinking? Fast??!
Trump just took it up the Clintonoids butts in Congress: screw you and screw your opium trade over the Mexican border!
The White House put out a letter from the President to the Speaker of the House invoking his authority to designate an emergency requirement regarding all funding pursuant to the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 to build the wall.
I was thinking along the lines of saying that Stormy was lucky and Trump only fucked her once where we, au contraire, are the ones getting the shaft every day.
Then I remember Stormie’s death threat in the parking lot where she was treated like Homeland Security treats a recalcitrant blog commenter who learned too much. Then I think if $130K makes up for a death threat. But that’s a hard one to figure. Death threats have a way of waking you up in a cold sweat in the middle of the night. Say each time you woke up was worth 3K. That’s only 40 times. Could still be happening every three weeks then.
Conclusion: Stormy should keep the money and anybody that has a problem with it can pound salt.

Trump says he is a fighter who will counter-attack critics. But he is keeping quiet about Russia’s attacks on the US and Stormy’s lawsuit, probably because both Putin and Daniels know something about the President’s past that could hurt him.
During the campaign Trump said the twelve women who accused him of sexual assault were liars and he was going to take them all to court. Of course, he did nothing. He knows he is guilty and fears the scrutiny of a courtroom where his lies become prosecutable offenses, just as he fears Mueller.
Trump’s behavior towards women is despicable. How many men end up in a hotel room with a woman just after their wives have given birth? Women will take Trump down and end his presidency.

Stormy Daniels faces US$20 million in damages in Trump lawsuit. But I’m sure Soros can cover it, for now. It will be interesting to see what happens to Stormy when Soros’ assets are frozen and he’s labeled a national security threat.
The thing that will hurt the women’s movement the most is when they emulate men in their MOs. I personally worked both sides of the gender gap, as a engineer for 11 years, and an RN for 17 years. I have news for you guys, on a level playing field, gals are going to kick your butts. Why? Because as a group, they talk to each other and communicate. They believe in cooperation rather than confrontation. In today’s world, this is magic. In a more natural world, men’s physical strength puts them at an advantage. This is no longer necessary.
Trump is old school male dominant, Playboy inspired, individual that like so many of us males have had to learn new rules of the road relative to females. And by the way, the rules of the road are totally nebulous, one person believes in certain limits while another allows “liberties” much broader. In the Power world, schlock lawyers prey on folks with this conundrum. Men need to learn to “ask” rather than dominate. I note that all the incidents being brought up by the schlock lawyers are old news, more than 10 years old. Ex post facto says you cannot judge someone for a law or rule that did not exist when the event actually occurred. Maybe the decks need to be cleared here and a new world order put in place. In the meantime, let’s get to work getting this country back in order. And right now, that is Trump!
What a pile of incredible rubbish.
Men are protectors.
What, are you telling us to ask politely of the enemy to go away or to blow his brains out?
Finca
“Men are protectors.”
Some of them are; some of them aren’t. Power corrupts – physical power the same as any other kind of power. (Sexual power does too, used by some women to get what they want or blackmail powerful men. Sometimes manipulated by other powerful men.)
Here are some statistics kindly provided a while ago by JustSayin on these pages:
JustSayingNovember 21, 2017 at 6:59 am #
“The number of American troops killed in Afghanistan between 2001 to 2017 – 1,833. The number of women killed by men in the US in only one of those years, 2015 – 1,686.
“Homicide is the leading cause of female death in the workplace. Domestic violence is the leading cause of injury to women, more than car accidents, muggings, and rapes combined.
“In one day during September, 2013, 66,581 victims were served at domestic violence centers in the U.S., and 36,348 domestic violence victims (19,431 children and 16,917 adults) found refuge in emergency shelters or transitional housing provided by local domestic violence programs.”
So, yeah, *many* of them are protectors. For many women, it’s already a World Made by Fists and always has been.
As Margaret Attwood famously said “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”
I donno, Mrs Green, I’d be afraid to be in the same room with that Margaret Attwood woman. She looks positively monstrous. A Tyrannosaurus Rex in “human” form.
Alba,
What your quoted statistics might also reveal is that the preponderance of women laughing at men were then…corrected by the male?
Women don’t do the really dangerous jobs. Factor that in. And don’t go ferreting out the .001% of female coal miners like you did with Blacks in 11th Century England. In other words, don’t be ridiculous.
elysianfield
You don’t have to do anything to attract the anger of that kind of male.
And please, please don’t tell me you’re suggesting that men are entitled to physically ‘correct’ women as if they were chattels.
That’s not what you’re saying? Is it?
Janos
“Women don’t do the really dangerous jobs. Factor that in. ”
Factor that in? Did you really, really say that?
So I’m supposed to work out some kind of perverted moral equation whereby beating the living shit out of your wife is acceptable if you do a hard manual job?
What kind of f*cking upbringing did you have?
There are quite simply no words.
I’ll tell you what, Janos, every time I come on here I’m more grateful to be married to a decent human being.
You brought up female death in the workplace. If you don’t remember, just go back and check. FAR more Men die at work than Women. Sorry!
Janos
Can you actually read? The men you are referring to die through accidents.
The statistics above relate to deaths by homicide.
If you want to compare deaths of men and women at work by homicide then we’ll need to compare how many of each were killed by men and how many by women?
Lay your bets here…
“And please, please don’t tell me you’re suggesting that men are entitled to physically ‘correct’ women as if they were chattels.”
No…but there are cultures that do. Consider the tales of the Arabian Nights…women beaten by “Mikkra”…the spine of a date palm.
And…
William Blackstone (1723-80) in his ‘Commentaries on the Laws of England’ refers to an ancient law that permitted ‘domestic chastisement’. He said: ‘The husband … by the old law, might give his wife moderate correction. For, as he is to answer for her misbehaviour, the law thought it reasonable to intrust him with this power of restraining her, by domestic chastisement, in the same moderation that a man is allowed to correct his apprentices or children…for whom the master or parent is also liable in some cases to answer.
I know about all that, elysianfield. That’s why I’m grateful to live in less benighted times.
And why, as I suggested to Thwack, that if those times ever came back, I’d take my own way out. Because I won’t live in those benighted times myself.
And I’m very relieved that you didn’t mean what you seemed to be saying.
“Why? Because as a group, they talk to each other and communicate. They believe in cooperation rather than confrontation”
There’s a lot of truth in that, JohnAZ. My younger brother (who’s in a ‘better job’ than I am (although he hates it!) has always said he likes working with female bosses (not all of them – the CEO of his organisation is a female psychopath) because they tend to share information and don’t hoard it in the way many men to as a power tactic.
But it’s also true that in a WMBH men will have the advantage just because of brute strength. History shows they don’t always use it in the interests of justice and compassion, however.
the way many men *do*
The main point I was trying to make is that the world and the rules it goes by are changing and at an increasing rate. Judging folks by what they did 12-20 years ago is ludicrous and is being used by a crappy group of lawyers in this country for their profit. Women are earning their stripes as time is advancing, why not just leave it that way? Because the lawyers will lose out, it always seems to be their way. And like GreenAlba says, there are female psycho and sociopaths too.
One question. Why are there not women and girls shooting and blowing up things at the rate that men and boys are? Women, however, had better remember that if their goal is to emasculate men and take away their only purpose, protector and breadwinner, that will not work out well.
Trump isn’t being judged right now so much by what he may or may not have done in 2006 right after his third wife gave birth to the fifth child he admits is his. He and his lawyer are being judged for what they did in 2016, in the middle of a presidential campaign, using money (and perhaps other methods in combination, such as physical and legal threats and intimidation) to — illegally — keep Clifford (among several others) quiet about what may or may not have happened in 2006.
Also, if you think that — as a man — your “only purpose” is to protect and provide for women and family, and absent that you might as well be emasculated/castrated, then you seriously need to take a step back and reconsider your lot in life.
Also you need to check your phraseology. The whole “that will not work out well” is about as cartoonishly and awkwardly evil as “it would be a shame if something should happen to her mother.”
Seriously people? Are you that tone deaf?
BruceE
See further up. One of our posters thinks men also have an entitlement to ‘correct’ ‘their’ women if they talk out of line.
You have to wonder what planet you’re on sometimes when you come on this website.
I don’t remember much of this kind of thing in ‘A World Made By Hand’. The talk on here tends to be about men protecting women from OTHER men in a tougher future. But who’s going to protect them from the psychos they’re married to?
It’s just as well belief in Hell has just about vanished. In the past it was the best method ever of dissuading people from ending their own wretched lives so that you could keep them enslaved.
“It’s just as well belief in Hell has just about vanished.”
My belief in the governments of men has just about vanished also.
But it is having the opposite effect.
My belief in governments of men was never that strong, but they don’t stop you from shuffling off this mortal coil if you don’t want to be enslaved. Although it’s technically illegal (over here anyway) but what are they going to do, unless you botch it?
I don’t think we’re quite that desperate yet, though, eh, MD? 🙂
And they don’t even do anything when you do botch it. Except offer you counselling. They used to prosecute you, though, for a failed attempt, back in the day.
Most of the immigrants will come from the EU,
Nonsense. Africa. And ME.
And does the EU contain Albania and Turkey?
“Most of the immigrants will come from the EU,
Nonsense. Africa. And ME.”
And you have this information from where?
“And does the EU contain Albania and Turkey?”
No. You could have Googled that yourself. It’s not rocket science. You just look up ‘members of the EU’.
So let’s not get excited about your first proposition since you can’t even do that.
Malthuss
To help you out:
https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/most-people-refused-entry-to-ireland-from-brazil-albania-us-and-south-africa-1.3343982
“Most people refused entry at Irish air and sea ports in 2016 were Brazilian, *Albanian*, US and South African citizens, according to statistics released by the Department of Justice.
“A total of 1,073 women and 2,229 men were refused leave to land during 2016, according to the data released by the Department of Justice under a Freedom of Information request.
“Some 483 Brazilian, 408 Albanian, 239 United States, 231 South African and 132 Pakistani citizens were refused leave to land in Ireland last year, marking a continued rise in the numbers of non-European Economic Area citizens being denied entry into the State.”
Can I just repeat the last bit:
*marking a continued rise in the numbers of non-European Economic Area citizens being denied entry into the State*
I hope that clears things up a bit for you.
And Turkey under Erdogan has zero chance of getting into the EU.
Kick butt in what sense? As Engineers? Not that I’ve heard (think Florida bridge). Or in the sense of winning in office mammalian politics? That I can easily believe.
Women naturally gang up on men. That makes sense in a Traditional Society with men on top. And they are complainers – which again makes sense. Some of their claims may be worth listening too. And if a guy is throwing his weight around, a bunch of women angry at him and complaining to the other men might be a remedy.
But all of this is toxic once Women are given equal status. It just turns men into discarded second class citizens, with the women attracted to the few remaining Alpha males whom they affect to despise. Or whom they actually despise yet still desire.
Trump’s behavior towards women is despicable. How many men end up in a hotel room with a woman just after their wives have given birth?
It can be a time of great stress. Some men hunker down. Some men blow a gasket. The human drama of acting out takes many forms. In answer to your question. Lots.
“It can be a time of great stress.”
Haha. That reminds me of when I was on my back after several hours of intense but relatively unproductive labour, when my then-husband asked if I could ask the obstetrician (run off his feet, so not able to stay with all the women giving birth at the same time) if he could go home and come back later, because he was tired. 🙂
Like I said, ‘then-husband’. He didn’t improve 🙂 .
Oh… oh, mercy.
*makes mental note*
you should have squatted Ubangi style; then you could have made the completion for a 1st down with no huddle.
“you should have squatted Ubangi style”
Thwack,
…or taken a knee?
Hindus squat to shit, and will even squat on your toilet seat, hopefully after taking off their shoes. This is a superior position to do it. Ditto childbirth. Western Women make such a big deal about it. American Indian women would just stop working for an hour, squat, and out comes the Papoose. Put it on back and get back to working in the field while I sit like Effendi managing. Apparently White Civilization has ruined them. Otherwise, inter-racial might have been the way to go, at least until White Women came to their senses and learned to bow and squat, stooping to conquer, conquering their man with their cooking.
“Western Women make such a big deal about it. ”
Tell me when you’ve given birth to one or two, Janos. Then I’ll listen to you.
But I didn’t make any big deal about it, despite having contractions every three minutes from the get-go and then having another ten hours of it. (And Thwack, you don’t know what I was doing for the remaining 10 hours.)
It was the doofus beside me who was complaining about being tired because the poor little snowflake had been at work. In an office, not down a coalmine. Some people don’t deserve children. Or wives.
I even asked the obstetrician if it was OK for him to go home and come back later. I wish you could have seen the mixture of scorn and disbelief on his face. He didn’t even say anything. I was mortified – sometimes you only realise what a berk you’re married to when you see them reflected in the eyes of a normal person.
But you go on wittering about things you know less than nothing about. You could win an award for that and put it with all the others.
“stooping to conquer, conquering their man with their cooking.”
My husband’s a great cook too. Loves it. Lucky me.
Why did you ask him to go home if it was the wrong thing to do? Why are you blaming it on someone else?
You honor childbirth yet you support abortion. You want women to be worshiped as God who get to choose who lives and who dies based on their whims.
In Ancient Rome, the Patriarch decided which babies were too weak or sickly to live.
(And Thwack, you don’t know what I was doing for the remaining 10 hours.)
*********************
Of course I do?
You were grunting, crying and howling for Demerol…
But I ain’t mad at ya because in Europe, you can get away with that type of behavior.
In Africa you can’t be making all that racket because there are too many beast that will kill and eat you;
that is unless you got a strong man to protect you?
(*wink*)
Look GA, you ain’t special because you’re a woman; you’re basically just an apartment building during an eviction, so spare us all the hollywood theatrics and next time just look down at your belly and say “its time to GTFO, you can take the stairs?
or you can take the window?
Janos
As I just said elsewhere, can you read? I didn’t ask him to go home. HE asked ME to ask the obstetrician if it was alright for him to go home. Men supporting their wives during labour can’t really do the supporting if they’re at home with their feet up. Dear God…
“You honor childbirth yet you support abortion.”
How dare you? DO NOT MAKE THINGS UP ABOUT ME. You know nothing about my views on abortion.
“In Ancient Rome, the Patriarch decided which babies were too weak or sickly to live.”
Please, Janos, just please…
Stop being so desperate to say anything – just anything – in response to my posts. You end up talking absolute rubbish.
“Of course I do?”
No you don’t. But you’re on this website, so obviously you think you do. But thanks for the question mark – that’s something.
“Look GA, you ain’t special because you’re a woman”
Thwack I’m not special in any way whatsoever. I have absolutely no problem with that.
“In Africa you can’t be making all that racket because there are too many beast that will kill and eat you;”
I might be one of those women whose childbirth ends with an obstetric fistula, meaning I’d be abandoned by my husband.
https://www.liberianobserver.com/news/fistula-program-restores-dignity-to-hundreds-of-women-abandoned-by-their-families/
Like I said, some men are protectors, some aren’t.
“And next time just look down at your belly and say “its time to GTFO, you can take the stairs?”
I’m retirement age, Thwack – I have two sprogs in their thirties and a five-year-old grandson. I’m not likely to be looking at my belly and deciding its time to go anywhere.
“or you can take the window?”
Believe me, thwack, if your ‘Man World’ comes my way, I’ll take the window – from the highest storey. And I won’t be the only one.
Time your jump right, GreenAlba, and you can thwack thwack on your way down at terminal velocity.
Apropos of nothing, anybody seen In Bruges?
Elrond
Haha. I’ll give it a go. Go out guns blazing.
And yes, re the film (primarily because I love Bruges, though, I think).
But he was still er… alive when he hit the ground, which I found hard to believe. Although he said his piece and then shuffled off this mortal coil. At least he didn’t say ‘Johnny, I can’t feel my legs…’ like in one of those Sunday afternoon westerns we were subjected to back in the day.
Yes. Dunno if you saw The Matrix Revolutions, but Carrie-Anne Moss’ needlessly drawn-out death scene is one of numerous reasons why that’s nobody’s favourite Matrix movie.
As for In Bruges, at the time I had a girlfriend who was a very sensitive soul. (Rather too sensitive, with passive-aggressive tendencies, which was one of the reasons we didn’t last as a couple; but I found her worth the trouble most of the time.) I suggested that movie, expecting a low-key comedy/drama. Well, it was and it wasn’t. That’s one case where I thought an apology on my part was merited.
‘In Bruges’ isn’t one I’d sit through again. I’m not good with gratuitous violence.
I only ever saw the first Matrix film – went with someone else in pre-husband days and we both came out having little idea what it was about. Both dim, clearly.
So I haven’t seen any of the others!
Oh you’re against abortion? Lol.
What in the world are you talking about now?
How about some energy topics? I miss those == Georges1202

Nuclear-powered Hypersonic Cruise Missile BUREVESTNIK (Stormy Petrel)

On the infinite
Grey sea
Winds amass
And like black lightning
The stormy petrel
Soars between
The sky and deep.
He rides the waves,
And like a flash,
A thunderbolt,
He strikes the cloud-ranks.
Joy defiant
Hear the clouds
In the petrel’s crying!
Seagulls moan
In craven terror,
Tumbling
On the seething sea,
Fain to sink
And fain to bury

Ohio lawmaker mocks teen gun control activists as Doritos-eating video game players
Rep. Candice Keller made the comments at a pro-gun rally in Columbus earlier this month.
http://www.wkyc.com/article/news/local/ohio/ohio-lawmaker-mocks-teen-gun-control-activists-as-doritos-eating-video-game-players/95-532249026
“COLUMBUS – An Ohio lawmaker accused outspoken victims of the Parkland school shooting of being misinformed teens who would rather be ‘eating Doritos and playing video games.’
“‘A month ago, we weren’t really having this conversation, and all of a sudden a 15-year-old on television who would just as soon be eating Doritos and playing video games wants to tell me that my constitution needs to be changed. Really?’ Butler County Rep. Candice Keller said at a pro-gun rally in Columbus earlier this month.
“Keller, a proud Second Amendment advocate and proponent of Ohio’s ‘stand your ground’ proposal, told those assembled at the Ohio Statehouse that she would not listen to the teenagers. ‘I was born with the right to carry.’
“After a school shooting in Parkland, Florida, surviving students took to social media and television with their message of gun control. Florida lawmakers passed its first gun control law in more than 20 years as a result of that pressure.” [Emphasis added.]
—
“My” constitution, says Rep. Keller, illustrating the number one defining characteristic of the gun culture: its solipsism. Too bad, so sad about the dead kids; but don’t ever, ever challenge their pet theories.
Funny thing: most grown-ups would be delighted to see young people stop playing video games and scarfing Doritos, and go do something useful with their lives.

Hey thwack, Man World sounds fun. Is it in Orlando?
I wanna see the cartoon sign that says, “You must be this many years old before complaining about getting shot at.”
Hey EH, Im starting to suspect you wouldn’t know man world if you tripped over it?
You see my friend, a willingness to be shot at used to bound up with your right to vote. Unlike women who were simply given the vote, men had to earn it.
Now we are in full retard clown world, and 14 year old GIRLS are lecturing us on our rights?

Strong men create good times
Good times create Elrond Hubbards
Elrond Hubbards create hard times
These high school kids are at much greater risk of getting shot at, injured, and killed than I was when I was in the military, and that included service in a friggin’ war zone.
I’m not your friend, thwack. Don’t presume. As for ‘a willingness to be shot at’, you’re conflating two very distinct kinds of sacrifice:
One is a becoming willingness to defend the society that defends you — that guards you while you sleep. This is a sacrifice based on reciprocity and mutual trust.
The other is obeisance to a society that demands you submit to being a sacrifice unto the Lord of the Flies. This is pagan evil.
Very differerent things, thwack. Choose, and do so in the knowledge that with choice comes responsibility.
Like America which favors illegal immigrants over citizens and won’t defend our borders?
Any White Man who joins the Army at this point is crazy, a masochist, or just a soulless opportunist like “the kids”.
Did you see the group picture of them 36 hours or so after the shooting? The huge smiles? The Joy? They knew this was the biggest chance they would ever have and were ready to make the most of it.
Bravo Thwack, well played my Blackamour friend.
One is a becoming willingness to defend the society that defends you — that guards you while you sleep. This is a sacrifice based on reciprocity and mutual trust.

Another white man over thinking things as usual.
Look my friend, its real simple.
When the barbarian savages invade, us men either fight and win?
or
get our throats cut.
This ain’t like prison where you get to sit in a corner and read your field and stream magazines…
The females?
they just spread their legs for the savages who just hung us all from trees; and life goes on for them…
This is why you can’t leave rights and responsibilities up to women.
To their credit, old women can sometimes have some sense too because no longer being young and fertile, they know their throats often get slit right after ours.
Look, I know this is ugly for you to hear and you’re terrified. But the sooner you accept the truth, the easier it will be for you achieve your full potential in Man World.
Don’t punk out on me, be for real (for once in your sheltered life)
John Paul Stevens: Repeal the Second Amendment
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/27/opinion/john-paul-stevens-repeal-second-amendment.html
“Rarely in my lifetime have I seen the type of civic engagement schoolchildren and their supporters demonstrated in Washington and other major cities throughout the country this past Saturday. These demonstrations demand our respect. They reveal the broad public support for legislation to minimize the risk of mass killings of schoolchildren and others in our society.
“That support is a clear sign to lawmakers to enact legislation prohibiting civilian ownership of semiautomatic weapons, increasing the minimum age to buy a gun from 18 to 21 years old, and establishing more comprehensive background checks on all purchasers of firearms. But the demonstrators should seek more effective and more lasting reform. They should demand a repeal of the Second Amendment.
“Concern that a national standing army might pose a threat to the security of the separate states led to the adoption of that amendment, which provides that ‘a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.’ Today that concern is a relic of the 18th century.
“For over 200 years after the adoption of the Second Amendment, it was uniformly understood as not placing any limit on either federal or state authority to enact gun control legislation. In 1939 the Supreme Court unanimously held that Congress could prohibit the possession of a sawed-off shotgun because that weapon had no reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a ‘well regulated militia.’
“During the years when Warren Burger was our chief justice, from 1969 to 1986, no judge, federal or state, as far as I am aware, expressed any doubt as to the limited coverage of that amendment. When organizations like the National Rifle Association disagreed with that position and began their campaign claiming that federal regulation of firearms curtailed Second Amendment rights, Chief Justice Burger publicly characterized the N.R.A. as perpetrating ‘one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime.’
“In 2008, the Supreme Court overturned Chief Justice Burger’s and others’ long-settled understanding of the Second Amendment’s limited reach by ruling, in District of Columbia v. Heller, that there was an individual right to bear arms. I was among the four dissenters.
“That decision — which I remain convinced was wrong and certainly was debatable — has provided the N.R.A. with a propaganda weapon of immense power. Overturning that decision via a constitutional amendment to get rid of the Second Amendment would be simple and would do more to weaken the N.R.A.’s ability to stymie legislative debate and block constructive gun control legislation than any other available option.
“That simple but dramatic action would move Saturday’s marchers closer to their objective than any other possible reform. It would eliminate the only legal rule that protects sellers of firearms in the United States — unlike every other market in the world. It would make our schoolchildren safer than they have been since 2008 and honor the memories of the many, indeed far too many, victims of recent gun violence.”
—
I’m with the Justice.
Unbelievable! Pimple faced schoolboys, the very ones that are perpetrating these violent acts with firearms, decide to hold a march for whatever and there are actually adults that listen and applaud them? Ridiculous. How about we make it illegal and confiscate all firearms from these pubescents and make the legal age to purchase and/or own firearms somewhere between 21 and 30? Heck we could even hang any adults whose weapons fall into the greasy little hands of underage pukes and are used for such evil purposes as well? Disarming the entire nation? What fools. It is like trying to eliminate black on black violence by killing all of the white people. Oh no, I shouldn’t have suggested that, for the same dipshits that demand disarmament may take me up on the idea. Maybe the best way to protect us all is to club us to death like so many baby seals.
Trump Says Second Amendment ‘Will Never Be Repealed’
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/28/us/politics/trump-second-amendment.html
“WASHINGTON — President Trump said on Wednesday that the Second Amendment — the right to keep and bear arms — ‘will never be repealed,’ responding to an opinion piece written by a retired Supreme Court justice who called for just that.
“Mr. Trump’s declaration in an early morning tweet came after days of silence on the subject, despite student-organized marches around the country over the weekend calling for more gun control.
“On Tuesday, the retired Justice John Paul Stevens wrote an Op-Ed in The New York Times calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment.”
—
This is truly excellent news. With Trump’s response, the Overton window has shifted, and repeal of the second amendment is now open for debate. My congratulations to Justice Stevens for doing this service for his country.
Remember what Gandhi said: First, they ignore you; then they laugh at you; then they fight you; and then you win. That’s how it goes.
“These high school kids are at much greater risk of getting shot at, injured, and killed than I was when I was in the military, and that included service in a friggin’ war zone.”
Bruce,
C’mon man….
Thank you ef. And why is it that nobody is talking about getting the weapons out of the hands of the teenage pukes, you know, the ones who are doing the killing? Why are they concentrating on the rest of us who have owned firearms for many decades without any incidents at all? Why, because it is not about protecting the children, it is about protecting the sellout politicians who not only know what is coming at us down the pike but are damned concerned that we might think twice about allowing them to continue to live the High Life after we have all been set back into Middle Ages serfdom. A disarmed public is a helpless victim, powerless to resist what you want to do to them, THAT is the objective. Heck, if they cared so much about our safety they would share the armed guards that they are surrounded by at all times with the rest of us. Why don’t they you ask? Because WE are expendable. We have little to no worth to them so why bother protecting us.

On the issue of fire safety
Yesterday, a lot of very important materials about the tragedy in Kemerovo and the heroism of people manifested in this tragedy were published by Yevgeny Petrenko, whose blog I respect very much.
https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1875102945856368&set=a.445824745450869.105723.100000700425676&type=3&theater
In particular, he wrote a lot about the fact that this is a mega terrorist act and drew my attention to fires in shopping centers of other cities.
Well, I have long wrote about the fact that the Western Black Project for elections and inauguration in Russia is preparing a great deal of nastiness, and here everything is transparent, since the connection between this terrorist act and the supervisory holidays, which Vladimir Putin has repeatedly proclaimed, nobody is even trying to hide it from anyone along with the expulsion of Russian diplomats – except for Putin himself, who naturally does not want to be pushed in the back when he is already standing over the red button.
I will come back to this.
Jewish columnist claims Nuremberg laws encouraged “diversity.”
http://takimag.com/article/for_white_girls_who_have_considered_career_suicide_daivd_cole#axzz5AyoDVsUM
Cole argues that Hollywood’s newest virtue-signaling device — the “inclusion rider” — is in practice not dissimilar to the Third Reich’s Nuremberg laws that excluded one group: in the case of the inclusion rider, the group excluded is straight white males.
Naturally, if the inclusion rider extends into the “adult entertainment” industry, then Stormy Daniels will probably have to submit to the “black snake” after all.
‘Will probably have to’? What makes you so sure about the future tense? Better go make sure:
https://tinyurl.com/yam8en46
Nuremberg laws encouraged diversity.
I agree.
For Janos’ comrades Nuremberg offered a great choice between the soapy rope and a firing squad.
A Hollywood project that has never seen breathing space (and probably never will until this particular mania is proven unworkable) is to cinematize the classic Cormac McCarthy novel, “Blood Meridian.”
Under this regime, can you imagine a gay, paraplegic amputee Judge Holden? Or a black dwarf Glanton? Or the Kid, shouldn’t he be a transexual septuagenarian?
‘The Road’ didn’t do too good at the box office. It might have been the death knell for films made from Cormac McCarthy books.
I thought ‘All the Pretty Horses’ was a decent film.
brh
It has a lot of fans (Blood Meridian). I heard James Franco wanted to get it made but couldn’t obtain rights.
I don’t know if the book will ever see the light of day. Its subtitle, “the Evening Redness in the West” suggests something like this maybe:
“They dragged him forward with shouts and gestures. Mire, mire, they cried. He stood before the jar and they urged his consideration of it and they tilted it around so that the head should face him. It was Captain White. Lately at war among the heathen. The kid looked into the drowned and sightless eyes of his old commander. He looked about at the villagers and at the soldiers, their eyes all upon him, and he spat and wiped his mouth. He ain’t no kin to me, he said.”
Meant “if the book will ever see the light of day [as a movie].”
Cole made a hilarious speech in 1994 mocking Michael Shermer.
I heard ‘DailyKenn’ or ‘KennDaily’ or whatever his name is tell Colin Flaherty that he had a half notion that the Jim Crowe laws were really to protect the whites from black violence. This is beyond my own ken, I’m just sayin’.
Oh yes, he also said that when he was banned from YouTube they reinstated them when he told them he had black ancestry.
Russian embassy trolls Trump administration
You will be laughing your ass off, but this morning it was the most important topic in the American press.
The Russian embassy in Washington asked its Twitter followers to vote which US consulate they’d like to see shuttered Monday, after the Trump administration announced it would close down the Russian consulate in Seattle and expel 60 diplomats.
In the poll, they offer three US consulate locations in Russia as options: St. Petersburg, Vladivostok and Yekaterinburg (My native town).
St. Petersburg won with the result of 47%. All major publications have written about it, and at first with such a mischievous grin: The Russian embassy trolls Trump, and then when the result of the vote became known, sober voices began to be heard, that if the consulate in St. Petersburg was closed, it would cause irreparable damage to US intelligence , incomparable with the damage caused to the Russian intelligence by the closure of the consulate in Seattle.
https://edition.cnn.com/2018/03/26/politics/russia-embassy-trolls-trump-administration/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_world+%28RSS%3A+CNN+-+World%29
Well they should be laughing. After all, poor Trump was just doing what he was told. He’s little more than a ridiculous looking cardboard cutout marionette now. If you look closely enough you can even see the strings when his lips move.
I think the threads on the string holding his finger off the nuclear button are fraying.
Or is that like the puffs of smoke from the falling twin tower demolition explosions zipping down ahead of the falling floors in the original unedited footage. In other words, my imagination.
Putin and the Germans thrust their hand into the pockets of the Poles and the Ukrainians so deep, that they are holding them by the sneakers
Brave Britain has no intention to pay back hundreds of billions of euros to Germany and other European countries, only the cowards are paying their debts!
But now Germany firmly stands at the Russian gas valve, which it will shut off next winter for not paying the debt, and all the available gas in the European market will be bought up by the Russians and sent to South Korea.
When Thames freezes next year we do hope for warmer relations with London!

Unfortunately, what they do can kill millions of people.
I was talking to this guy back at the loading dock last nite, a driver, an old Portugese guy who spoke with an accent. The subject of Stormy Daniels came up. He says “Did you get a look at those gazoomers?” That’s what he called them, Gazoomers.
Then he looked at me and said, reverently “I love those” at the same time making a pamtomine like was putting his head up between them and burrowing in.

“CBS thought they were hurting Trump, but he’s admired and envied by many people out here in dirt country.”
The American Dream – drooling with envy over some dishonourable billionaire reprobate who wouldn’t spit on you if you were on fire.
How about the EU Commissars and the 30,000 toadies and parasites surrounding them you admire so much, think they care about you?
I hope your ‘Euro Dream’ includes Burkhas, Hijabs and prayer rugs facing east, because that’s whats the future hold for you European weenies. Reading your posts its pretty clear why western Europe is circling the drain.
brh
“How about the EU Commissars and the 30,000 toadies and parasites surrounding them you admire so much, think they care about you?”
I don’t admire them, brh, that’s the difference.
And I don’t have a Euro dream, either. I live on planet reality.
Don’t pay him no mind, GA.
brh has a bad case of Islamophobia.
As if there is something wrong with praying. And he supposedly is a citizen of the land of the free which was founded on the principle of freedom of religion.
You are right about the EU, BRH. In their definitive scholarly study of Britain and the EU, The Great Deception (Toby Young’s is the definitive study from the pov of the true believers, I understand), they described the ‘Project’ in the final chapter as a fantasy. Whenever they mess up, as they always do, the treatment is ‘more Europe’.
I read Ed West’s excellent analysis of mass immigration into Britain and then read it for a second time, which I usually do now if a book is worth it. I kept my eyes open and there it was in the final chapter: a comparison with a millenarian cult which, when the predicted arrival of the aliens doesn’t happen, only gains in popularity and prestige.
So as you say below it is all fantasy. Those who swallow this nonsense and maintain that they live on ‘planet reality’ are the most deluded of them all. My husband (the doctor) told me so it must be true.
Oh, hello, Sean. Hope you are having a good day.
And here was I thinking you were ignoring my posts.
I can see you’ve found it really frustrating.
And my husband (the human being) doesn’t persuade me of much. I make up my own mind.
Nice to know I’ve been getting to you though, and you just…couldn’t…help…yourself 🙂
And I noticed that chip on your shoulder a thread or two ago. Explains a lot.

We are talking about Stormy instead of Trump’s collusion with Russia.
Over the past year, we’ve learned about a series of meetings and contacts between individuals linked to the Russian government and Trump’s campaign and transition team.
In total, we have learned of at least 70 contacts between Trump’s team and Russia linked operatives, including at least 22 meetings. And we know that at least 22 high-ranking campaign officials and Trump advisors were aware of contacts with Russia-linked operatives during the campaign and transition.
None of these contacts were ever reported to the proper authorities. Instead, the Trump team tried to cover up every single one of them.

The liberalization of relations with Russia stated with the Obama, HRC White House with promises of cooperation between Obama and Medvedev and reset buttons with HRC. The Uranium deal is just another part of the deal making as US greed merchants we’re extending tendrils into Russia. The key is during the last year’s of Obama both sides were extending into Russia. A carnivore like Putin cannot resist taking advantage especially when greedy Americans would sell their souls for a buck. Maybe he was reacting to a negative balance of trade. Anyway, the “war” started with the invasion of the Democratic National Committes by someone and the release of a bunch of embarrassment by the Dems. Mortal sin and it started the slide in relations that continues today. Search for the guilty started quickly and the easiest target was Russia as nobody likes Russia anyway. Putin did it all, although a lot of info pointed fingers at internal Democratic folks. Sanctions went on, The Deep State, which at the time was solidly Democratic, continued the search for the guilty, started to clobber individuals who were connected to the Russians. But only the conservative ones, no Dems were involved. My foot. The intelligence community got heavily involved in the finger pointing, but things were going well in the punishment of Putin and the oligarchs. Then the impossible happened, Trump won. Russian collusion spread in his direction, easily as he had lots of people involved in the Russian connection. Get Trump, the game of the day. Problem was, however, there was lots of collusion between the Left side and Russia too. So the attack on Trump has devolved into an attack on the Deep State as their collusion becomes more and more evident
The bottom line is that the US was moving towards Deep economic involvement with Russia during the Obama administration until the Hawks on both sides restarted the “war”. The 2016 campaign added to the fray as a definite bias by the Russians toward Trump showed itself. Lately, info involving oil exploration in the Kara Sea by Russia being technically supported by Exxon-Mobil for a third of the revenue might explain their bias. Just think of who the Secretary of State became. Anyway, the Russia’s have become the scapegoat for a Deep State that has been caught with their pants down and is now trying to cover its ass.
Information coming from Kemerovo – confirms the worst assumptions.
This is not an accident or negligence.
This is a cold and brutal attack, and not only in the information field, but also in the psycho-patterns of the population.
They will try to break the inauguration with nationwide mourning.
The US – Russia War of Diplomats
Yesterday I had the opportunity to watch on the TV American evening news for housewives, which I usually do not watch.
And of course it came about the expulsion of Russian diplomats from “all civilized countries,” but the commentator, obviously a complete stupid idiot, apparently from a Deep State’s blueprint suddenly performed an aria about the fact that Donald Trump, by closing the consulate in Seattle, allowed Putin using Twitter to win a diplomatic war with the US, or rather a war of diplomats.
And since this topic really causes great interest, I decided to sum up the intermediate results of this war.
The war began when, on December 29, 2016, the outgoing Obama administration, or rather the outgoing administration of Hillary Clinton closed two residential complexes in the state of New York, which are Russia’s diplomatic property, and ordered 35 Russian diplomats and their families to leave the US within 72 hours.
And since on January 1 the planes did not fly, they would have been arrested on January 2 after the expiration of 72 hours. The purpose of this combination was the US war with Russia, which Hillary would have thrown Trump as a hot potato, as there is no doubt that Russia would respond to the arrest of Russian diplomats in the US by storming or blockading the US embassy in Moscow.
The crisis was stopped by General Flynn, who provided the evacuation of Russian diplomats with a special charter flight, the details of which are still unknown.
For this, the Logan Act, forbidding American citizens to interfere in US foreign policy which at that time consisted in provoking a war with Russia, was applied to him.
It was revealed during the hearing of General Flynn in the Senate, when Senator Feinstein was asking him why the Russian President Putin had invited the children of American diplomats to a Christmas tree in the Kremlin instead of expelling American diplomats from Russia. She accused him that it was his conversation with the Russian ambassador that persuaded Putin to abandon the retaliatory measures in order not to overshadow the Russian-American relations at the beginning of Trump’s presidency.
Now it is possible to challenge the wisdom of these measures, but the fact is that Russia missed the move, and it played a big role when it became clear that Trump would not be able to return to Russia its diplomatic property, as he himself was under the Damocles sword of accusations of cooperation with Russia to hinder Hillary Clinton’s attempts to forge the election results, which was qualified as interference in the American election process.
When Republican leaders Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan legislatively imposed sanctions on Russia, Putin, six months late, responded with the confiscation of American embassy dachas in Serebryany Bor and a proposal to equalize the number of American diplomats in Russia and Russian diplomats in the United States. This meant the expulsion of 755 American diplomats from Russia! The figure is colossal, and I think that’s to what Trump answered himself to. He proposed to equalize the number of consulates by closing the Russian consulate in San Francisco, and the Clintonoids added to that confiscation of the building of the consulate, which belonged to Russia. And Russia had to put up with this.
And Trump rolled the ball to Putin’s penalty zone, expelling 60 Russian diplomats and closing the Russian consulate in Seattle, as the response to the incident in Salisbury.
The American consulate in Yekaterinburg shares the building with the consulates of other countries and does not go to any comparison with the building of the Russian consulate general in Seattle, but the State Department implied that Russia would close it as a response.
And when the Russian embassy in Washington put the consulate in St. Petersburg to vote, it became an unpleasant surprise for the State Department, since its closure in the same style as the closing of the Russian consulate in San Francisco inflicts a terrible blow to the American intelligence, creates the basis for the conflict between the US Department of State and the US intelligence and allows Putin to win this war on points.
And this, given the obvious conclusion that the United States during the diplomatic war tried to impose on Russia the recognition of its unequal position compared to the US, is very significant.
Yesterday I had the opportunity to watch on the TV American evening news for housewives, which I usually do not watch.
Better tread lightly there, Finc. The American propaganda services are highly addictive by design. Your best bet is to view them as primitive vaudeville, or better yet, mute the sound altogether and view them as slapstick.
Why is CHINA investing in the BALKANS?
— https://youtu.be/eCe2fTCBpkc
Heard that China is going to build an infrastructure network of roads, high speed and regular railroads through the entire continent of Asia, and into Africa. The Balkans has been a hybrid of Europe and Asia forever, maybe they are in the sights for China. Read a book a few years ago that stated that control of the areas surrounding the Indian Ocean was the checkmate for the world chess game. China currently is building infrastructure in the South China Sea to control a major shipping lane. Ironically the US has done nothing to date to slow them down. Also, Russia will lose strategic advantage to China if their plans continue. Hence their renewed interest in the Middle East.
Why do we concentrate our animus toward Russia and seem to give China a pass? Maybe because the dialogue between the Hawks in the US and Russia both are so obnoxious that they just set each other’s teeth on edge. Visceral reaction! China plays it cool, not “screaming” at anyone, and puts its money and investment where it counts, earning power as it goes. The US better figure out who it wants to be friends with and get with it. I feel that we are getting the same economic treatment that the USSR got from us in the 90’s.
Nothing is by accident. The animus towards Russia is orchestrated by Chinese agents. The Clinton mafia is just a small part of this network. Most of the politicians in Washington are there to earn kickbacks from China as they give away US technology and whole markets to China.
Well deduced. The Deep State and Stormy have much in common.
Decades ago Russia wanted to infect the west with ‘useful idiots’. That Trump is not ‘useful’ demonstrates collusion unlikely.
Wrong time to take a selfie:
The video shows that the officers chased Clark into the backyard and yell “Show me your hands! Gun, gun, gun”, before shooting Clark.[9][10]
According to the police, before being shot Clark turned and held an object that he “extended in front of him” while he moved towards the officers.[1] The officers said they believed that Clark was pointing a gun at them.[4] The police stated that the officers feared for their safety, and at 9:26 p.m., fired 20 rounds, hitting Clark multiple times.[4][1]
Thwack,
What color were the cops?
Just speculatin’
It depends on the department.
Some of them are now refusing to identify killer cops unless they are charged with a crime. because of they receive death threats now.
The officer who shot and killed Andrew Finch has still not been identified.

In response to the call to repeal the Second Amendment by John Paul Stevens:
This opinion underscores the lack of understanding by the majority of people with regards to our founding principles. It does not matter whether the Second Amendment is repealed or modified.
The Declaration of Independence is a legal document and is the very basis for the legitimacy of the US Constitution. In the Declaration of Independence, We the People postulated the self evident truth that all men are endowed with certain unalienable rights. In addition, we said that governments are instituted among [ not above ] men to secure these rights.
When the US Government actively becomes destructive of these rights, rather than defend them – which is their sworn duty, not only does it initiate the duty of We the People to alter or abolish said government it destroys the very legitimacy upon which the government of We the People was founded. Repealing the Second Amendment in no way, shape or form diminishes or curtails those rights which we have been endowed with by our Creator.
The path that certain members of the political class, the media and academia seem intent to go down can result in nothing less than a bloody and horrific internecine conflict wherein the people are forced once again to assert that powers not derived from the people are unjust, tyrannical and justification for hostile action. No person in their right mind should desire such an outcome and I pray that the better minds in the aforementioned institutions speak up.
messianicdruid, you’re quite right that doing something about the plague of gun violence in the USA risks an armed response from the true die-hards. That’s something anyone who seriously contends with the question has to grapple with.
But on the other hand, what’s the alternative? The status quo is unacceptable and getting worse. A rabid minority insists on imposing its interpretation of the law at any cost, up to and including dead kids. Their supporters in Congress have made clear their intention to punish any effort even to clearly understand what is going on.
This isn’t politics as usual; this is a hostage situation. A more honest political culture would refer to the Dickey amendment I linked above as the Ignorance is Strength amendment. In the end, letting hostage takers set the agenda strengthens the hand of the next hostage taker, and the next. It has to end somewhere.
Yeah, and why not the First Amendment too, right? I mean why do we need it when we have people like you to tell us what to think? And Anderson Cooper. And Stormy!
Don’t worry JS the foreigners want us all dead even more than our sellout, scumbag politicians do. They come right out and advocate killing us in order to “save us from ourselves”, didn’t you notice? It will be far easier to eliminate the 1st Amendment once they have removed the 2nd.
The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic, since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers, and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them. – US vs Miller 1939
“No freeman shall ever be debarred the use of arms [within his own lands or tenements].”18 1 The Papers of Thomas Jefferson 344 (J. Boyd ed. 1950)).
I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God. Oath of Allegiance
“The status quo is unacceptable and getting worse. A rabid minority insists on imposing its interpretation of the law at any cost, up to and including dead kids.”
I don’t think the “rabid minority” as you call them are responsible for “dead kids”. Those that killed and those charged with protecting and failed are responsible.
The 2nd Amendment is the most important of the Bill of Rights, because without it, we’d have none of the other nine.

So there it is, Kid Kimchee actually did meet with his Chinese leash-holder.
Now, I’m just a simple mule-skinner but it seems to me that what we may have developing here is a historic opportunity for the United States to do what is manifestly in its own best interests, that is, to paint the events on the Korean peninsula as a lowering of cross-border tensions and international temperatures.
What for? To get the fuck out of that colossal waste of time and money and lives and resources, that being Asia or, more particularly, East Asia.
It’s party-time, peace is breaking out, Kid Kimchee is much misunderstood, he just wants security and stability and for a decent chance for North Korea to find its own way through history. This is what the State Department should be saying to all, if it was smart, which it isn’t.
To keep Japan on-side, to keep South Korea and South Vietnam out of the clutches of the dastardly commies, the USA pissed away uncountable billions in treasure, killed who knows how many millions of people, sacrificed and ruined the lives of hundreds of thousands of its own citizens. And for what?
The American worker was sacrificed for the sake of geo-political considerations, that is, in allowing floods of Japanese imports into the US while allowing the Japanese to keep their own markets closed to US products. Looking back on it, who benefitted? Asians sure did. They built up their own countries on the back of ordinary Americans.
The Stormy story sure has legs (and tits). Because what’s public discussion all about? But the time is quickly approaching to tie-off that leaking east Asian aneurysm. Can the State Department and the rest of the American Deep State wake up from reality TV zombie-ville, Russia collusion delusions and see what’s cooking under its nose?
Control of the Indian Ocean trade routes have been a major part of the world chess game since the Portuguese discovered they could get to the East Indies by going around Africa. War after war has been fought over control of these trade routes. The US is a latecomer. We have fought wars against nationalists in China, Japan, Korea, Phillipines, Vietnam Trying to make them part of the US Pacific and Indian Ocean. For example, the Chinese extension into the South China Sea and its desire to extend infrastructure throughout Asia and Africa. The US has the image of King of the World in its mind. Could be as China extends its influence over Asia we will be forced back to the Western Hemisphere.
I remember that when NAFTA was conceptualized during the Reagan administration the idea was to create a trading bloc in the Western Hemisphere to compete with Europe, Asia, and Russia. I think we better find that treaty and dust it off. Stop the trade pacts that freezes hundreds of billions of dollars of trade deficits for the US and renegotiate trade deals to benefit the US population instead of the international elite.

V.,
In a word: no. The American Deep State is trapped in its own dreamland of Colossus Astride the World and refuses to be awakened.
Therefore, to maintain its lilypad, foothold, terror-projecting base, or whatever you want to call the military ‘presence’ in 2nd best Korea, it shouts the lie that the Kimchee Kid has the destruction of Uncle Sam firmly in No.1 place of priority. Peace will never be declared until 2nd best Korea gets tired of a U.S. policy that’s bringing it closer and closer to the brink of destruction. What will be the response if we’re politely asked to leave and leave off with the threats? How did that work out in Viet-raq? And what’s with the build-up in Syria, where we weren’t asked to join the killing party in the first place? See how this is all insane? “They” don’t want peace, they want promotion and control of instability. As the U.S. influence gets weaker, the tactics get cruder and decidedly more cruel. (However, this is actually a good thing, as it becomes harder to ignore by the general public; lose their grudging trust and consent is all over, baby blue.)
So, what is urgently needed is a financial kick in the head for the indispensable nation. It’s the only thing (besides losing a world war) that will persuade the crazies to pull in the horns. …Even then, I suspect an ugly house cleaning will be in order. Far too many psychopaths have been bred and thrive in high office here. (Hint: The term “public servant” no longer applies in most cases.)
It’s hard to overstate the dickheadedness of Republicans. Now we have Rick Santorum burbling that maybe kids ought to learn CPR instead of advocating for gun control. It’s not your imagination, they really have got peckers in their heads fucking their brains.
The phrase “wrong side of history” comes to mind.
Both sides of the Deep State are totally FOS. The collusion between the two sides in Congress, especially the Senate, needs to be stopped.
Since Turkey began “Operation Olive Branch” in January, there has been no sun in the sky in Northern Syria.
No sun in the sky, Stormy’s tits are still in the way.
‘Operation Olive Branch’ and Turkey saves the Kurds like the home developers saved the pheasants when they built the triple car garages onto the new homes up on ‘Pheasant Ridge’.
Putin puts Assad back in power in the south winning the war in the Syria, perhaps the real reason behind a certain false flag poisoning and the expulsion of a few Russian diplomats?
But none of this interrupts the Stormy Show. The dots shall not be connected. Diplomats get expelled and the American People are not told anything near the truth about what is really going on. All eyes cross on the two big dots on Stormy’s chest. Much more entertaining than a little genocide in the morning we can all agree.

The North used guns to end slavery in the U.S
The Haitians used guns to end slavery in Haiti.
Final score:
Guns – 2
Slavery – nil
What the students and demonstrators who protested for gun control at March for Our Lives this past weekend should seek is a repeal of the Second Amendment.
Repealing the Second Amendment might be a long struggle, but just like the struggle to repeal slavery, it is the right thing to do.
Seriously?
I agree with the overabundance of guns, what I really dislike is the psychological need Americans have for guns. What are we all afraid of? Maybe the huge increase in violent criminality in the country because of economic disenfranchisement? I do believe that if someone figured out a way of getting rid of over 300 million guns, that the crooks would still have theirs. If we are going to try to “de-gun” the USA, figure out a way to take them away from the crooks first! Not able to do that? Forget about taking them away from everyone else.
Another tact. Fear! Why are people so Afraid? I offer that the Media so blows up every instance of violence that it has become a primary fear point for the population. Everything is CNN’ed, covered over and over and over for days and days. There is so much fear in the country and have things really changed so much to warrant the change?
Adding to this is the loss of faith by the population in the ability of the law enforcement agencies from the local cops to the DOJ to protect the people from the bad guys. I believe this is totally warranted.
Hence, the pressure is more guns not less. Any movement to rid the country of guns will just cause a domestic war. Repeal will never happen, too many votes depend on it. The NRA does own the Deep State, because too many votes depend on it.
What?! The NRA owns the Deep State? roflmao.
Loss of faith is indeed the core problem however, John.

Trade with India was also a priority of the Romans overland by caravan but especially by ship via the Red Sea. And before them the Greeks.
But your point is a good one, that the East had a lot of stuff that Europeans wanted and vice versa. Roman merchants operated in India and Sri Lanka and also Vietnam and Cambodia. The Chinese have records of emissaries sent by Roman emperors in the second and third centuries. The Byzantines established an embassy in China later on.
Trade isn’t a bad thing. It’s a good thing so long as one side isn’t bankrupted by one-sided arrangements which is what we have now. Billionaires may have gotten rich, millions of others in certain areas either weren’t hurt or benefitted by cheap foreign imports. But the hundreds of millions of others that got screwed is testified to by the degradation of a multitude of American communities that formerly made the objects and goods that Americans used in everyday life, the calamitous state of government finances and the consequent election of Trump. Not to mention the many nationalist movements popping up in formerly wealthy western countries. The importation of vast numbers of foreigners by means legal and illegal is the other side of the coin. To say that these arrangements have no future is to understate the case.

Quebec mosque shooting suspect Alexandre Bissonnette says he’s ashamed of what he did
Bissonnette spoke to the court shortly after a judge accepted his guilty pleas on six charges of first-degree murder and six of attempted murder.
https://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2018/03/28/quebec-mosque-shooting-suspect-alexandre-bissonnette-pleads-guilty.html
“QUEBEC — The man who killed six Muslims in a Quebec City mosque last year as they attended prayer sought forgiveness Wednesday for his acts and said it was ‘as though I was battling a demon that finished by winning out.’
“‘Every minute of my existence I bitterly regret what I did, the lives I have destroyed, the pain and suffering I have caused to so many people, without forgetting the members of my own family,’ Alexandre Bissonnette said as he read out a letter in court.
“‘I am ashamed of what I did.’
“Bissonnette, 28, spoke to the court shortly after a judge accepted his guilty pleas on six charges of first-degree murder and six of attempted murder in connection with the attack. …
“The charges against Bissonnette were related to a shooting attack at the Islamic Cultural Centre in January 2017 in which he killed six men: Mamadou Tanou Barry, 42; Abdelkrim Hassane, 41; Khaled Belkacemi, 60; Aboubaker Thabti, 44; Azzeddine Soufiane, 57; and Ibrahima Barry, 39.”

Contrast with Dylann Roof’s sullen lack of remorse. Of these two mass killers, at least one may yet see heaven.
How many Muslims have apologized for their terrorism? Not many.
Did you notice how Canadian violence (I thought guns were illegal there) is ok because they say that they are sorry afterwards but Americans who do not have kind words after dirty deeds are evil? There is some seriously twisted shit going on up there. The long Winters must warp their minds.
When I posted about Bissonnette’s sentencing, trying to compare Canada versus U.S. was the last thing I had in mind, Walter B. Rather I was comparing his evident remorse with the lack of same displayed by Dylann Roof.
An unrepentant terrorist is vile to me, no matter what justification he claims, so Janos’ response is predictably spurious. Raskolnikov repented his crimes at the end, so maybe Bissonnette can still be salvaged as a human being as well.
I will always accept anyone having their own opinion, but as we often do, I feel very much the opposite way here. Any human being that is intent on murdering other human beings had damned well better be committed enough to it to take full responsibility for their actions and not pull a “I’m sorry, I didn’t know what I was doing” afterward. You should have thought of that before you killed those people asshole! I do not give points for apologies. No excuse sir was answer number three if you recall. Remorse is something you have after making a mistake. Acts of terrorism and murder are not mistakes, they are vile, cold blooded crimes and should not be allowed to have excuses applied after the fact. I need not judge them, they will be judge by Another far greater power than I. They can ply their excuses on Him.
Remorse is not an excuse, any more than an excuse is the same as a reason, or justice the same as mercy.
In fact remorse is the opposite of an excuse.
‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do’.
That’s an excuse. And mercy.
Because a murderer cannot restore what he has taken. Therefore, he must understand he is forfeiting his own life to kill another without cause. You cannot murder a murderer. Apologies, if sincere should given just before execution, but will be more meaningful after we all get to heaven.

I’m not arguing with that, MD, in the context of your beliefs.
Remorse is still remorse, and is a different thing from an excuse.
And some people are sufficiently able to forgive even the worst crimes against them.

“Cohen is in trouble but he will say he did it on his own. Nothing to see here.” –k-dog
Umm, if Cohen tells a court he did it on his own what will be seeing here is disbarment. Disbarment is the punishment for unethical or criminal conduct. That is what we will be seeing here.
But on the face of it … it is laughable that a lawyer reaches into his own pocket to make a payment of $130,000 on behalf of his client and never gets repaid.
Trump knew about the payment. Trump is in violation of FEC laws. The penalty for that is not disbarment, it is impeachment. Coming soon to a Congressional vote near you.
This has been known for awhile. Just another ploy to get Trump and it will be just as successful as the proceeding ones. Dems better worry about 2018 and 2020 and quit peddling junk. Should label this another 60 minutes moment.
Just saw that Susan Rice and perhaps Obama will be joining the board of Netflix. Guess it is not enough to own every media outlet except one. It is amazing to me that with this many guns arrayed against him, Trump seems to escape unscathed.
The courts are letting the cases go forward involving Trump taking illegal gifts from foreign governments through his family’s business, violating the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause. Alternatively, the 25th Amendment is still a possibility, even if Stormy doesn’t take Trump down all by herself.
Just a comment. If the Deep State clobbers Trump, how many other corrupt creeps will be affected, maybe that is why so many Deep Staters are jumping ship trying to get away from the slime that is Washington. The ubiquitous lobbying firms in DC will have to figure out how these threats to Trump will affect them. If Trump gets hit, maybe it will be worth it to clobber the Deep State.
Stormy is not part of the “Deep State” … Trump has no one to blame but himself for his deeply immoral and illegal behavior.
After all these years…. Spanky still has the hots for Stormy.
Probably not, 70 year old men do not have the same libido as 58 year old.
I agree Stormy is not part of the Deep State. Her lawyer might be. Both of them are money grabbers after a big buck, not from the President, but from Donald Trump , billionaire.
Well, ladies and germs,
The BBC reports, this PM that an unarmed black man, found in the middle of a busy intersection with his pants down, was shot and killed by a Houston Cop. Apparently the suspect was suffering from erectile dysfunction, and the cop feared an assault with a dead weapon….
Thank you…thank you, I will be here all week….
I really do not know what is going on in the streets anymore. Whatever happened to knocking him down and cuffing him? Nothing more than a case of disorderly conduct that is a constant in the life of any patrolman, anywhere…the incident, sans the shooting, would not even merit a comment in the locker room after shift…
What color was the officer?
The reason I ask is because according to the late, great Dr. Francis Cress Welsing and her Cress Theory of Color Confrontation; white men subconsciously see the black male penis as a type of weapon capable of causing the genetic annihilation of white people through sexual intercourse with white women?
Thwack,
And sometimes a cigar is really a dick… The good Dr. may be overthinking the issue. In my THOUSANDS of encounters with black males, that thought never entered my mind.
And…in retrospect…still doesn’t.

Is that the nutcase who thought playing baseball was part of this? A subconscious self hatred with the ball being White testicles?

They’re exacerbating systemic risk?
The provision, contained in Section 402 of S.2155, exempts money placed in central bank reserves from the calculation of the supplementary leverage ratio, one capital requirement for banks. This would enable banks to earn larger returns with borrowed money, but would also increase risk of failure because the bank would have less money to absorb losses.

Left intentionally unsaid is that, per a prior Supreme Court, the militia is “expected to appear bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time [and] “the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear … ordinary military equipment … that … could contribute to the common defense.”
USA – -(Ammoland.com)- “Repeal the Second Amendment,” retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens declared in a Tuesday “op-ed” in The New York Times. It’s actually the third time “the newspaper of record” has hosted such sentiments in recent months, and they’re hardly alone.
But no one’s talking about taking your guns, the gun-grabbers scoff. Honest.
Citing the “dark money”-funded #MarxForOurLives media events we’re told were “organized” by children, Stevens cites ginned-up “demand” as justification for gun bans and for the eradication of a right the Founders deemed “necessary to the security of a free State.”
Recognizing the dangers of “pure democracy” mob rule, our Bill of Rights defined some of the areas where the individual would be immune to the will of the collective. Stevens knows that. His ignoring it is a motivated choice.
What this means is, no matter how many of us disagree with you, we cannot lawfully use force to shut you up, to suppress your political views, or to make you worship in the way we see fit. We cannot break into your house and search your property without probable cause and a legal warrant. We can’t torture you into confessing to a crime. Barring behaviors on your part to disqualify yourself from incarceration after being afforded full due process protections, we cannot strip you of your right to keep and bear arms.
The safeguard against tyranny provided by an armed populace from which a citizen militia can be formed is “a relic of the past,” Stevens counters, providing no additional corroboration beyond his say-so.
Now there’s a neat trick—because the government has ignored its duty it can now declare it obsolete. Try that with your employer. Stevens is offering a personal opinion here, not a legal one. And note he doesn’t say what about human nature has changed.
In the previous century that saw two world wars, continual violent political upheaval, genocide and systemic, brutal tyranny and repression, and noting the continuation into this century, has humanity truly demonstrated a benevolence and maturity that distinguishes our era from those that preceded us? In a culture that breeds gang warfare, rampant violence, city-crippling riots and a national murder rate measured in the tens of thousands, how can anyone credibly claim that the need for individual and collective defense is a relic of the past? And ultimately, what is this “outdated” Second Amendment really about, if not the preservation of a free people when all other options to defend life and liberty have been exhausted? Against all enemies, individual and aggregated, foreign and domestic…?
Don’t look for Stevens to address that.
While it’s true Congress has been allowed to abandon its Constitutional duty “To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia,” former diplomat Alan Keyes correctly notes that’s something a free people ought to revive. The question now becomes how to convey that to lawmakers as an expectation with credible consequences should they continue to shirk an enumerated job requirement.
“For over 200 years after the adoption of the Second Amendment, it was uniformly understood as not placing any limit on either federal or state authority to enact gun control legislation,” Stevens claims.
“Any limit”? What a liar.
And that would come as a surprise to William Rawle, whose ”View of the Constitution” was the standard Constitutional law text at leading universities in the early 19th Century. Here’s what he had to say:
“No clause in the Constitution could by any rule of construction be conceived to give the Congress a power to disarm the people. Such a flagitious attempt could only be made under a general pretence by a state legislature. But if in any pursuit of an inordinate power either should attempt it, this amendment may be appealed to as a restraint on both.”
“In 1939 the Supreme Court unanimously held that Congress could prohibit the possession of a sawed-off shotgun because that weapon had no reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a ‘well regulated militia,” Stevens follows up, deliberately obscuring the most crucial point.
The Miller court specifically acknowledged “the Militia comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense … [who] were expected to appear bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time [and] “the Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear … ordinary military equipment … that … could contribute to the common defense.”
The “well regulated” part began after they reported for duty.
“Chief Justice [Warren] Burger publicly characterized the N.R.A. as perpetrating ‘one of the greatest pieces of fraud, I repeat the word fraud, on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime,’” Stevens continues, conveniently not mentioning that the opinion was not issued in any legal case, but rather in Parade Magazine of all places.
Attorney Dave Kopel pointed out Burger’s many errors and false assumptions. As an aside, Burger was appointed by Richard Nixon, a president who wanted to ban handguns.
“I was among the four dissenters,” Stevens says of the Heller decision, meaning if he had the power, he would order that you do not have a right to keep and bear arms and that the government should destroy you if you defied him.
“Overturning that decision via a constitutional amendment to get rid of the Second Amendment would be simple and would do more to weaken the N.R.A.’s ability to stymie legislative debate and block constructive gun control legislation than any other available option,” Stevens declares.
First of all, a Constitutional amendment is anything but simple. The Founders that Stevens disregards so cavalierly purposely designed things that way. And this also shows Stevens hasn’t let either reality or existing precedent influence his biases, as the Heller majority noted when citing an earlier decision:
“The very text of the Second Amendment implicitly recognizes the pre-existence of the right and declares only that it ‘shall not be infringed.’ As we said in United States v. Cruikshank, ‘[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence. The Second amendment declares that it shall not be infringed…’”
If a tyrannical government does repeal the Second Amendment it will not take away our right to keep and bear arms. Only we can give that up.
Calling for repeal is a Hail Mary of sorts on Steven’s part. A few years back he wanted to amend things to read:
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms — when serving in the militia — shall not be infringed.”
It’s tempting to dismiss this latest attack as the ramblings of a subversive dotard and conclude there’s no fool like an old fool. But Stevens has been doing this for years and is voicing the very real goals of those intent on establishing that old standby of totalitarian regimes everywhere, a monopoly of violence.
The only appropriate response to that (despite the impulse of some who fancy themselves our “gun rights leaders” to offer “compromise”) is one word:
No.
It’s three words if you add “Your move.”

Trump had to pay off Stormy. If she had talked about their affair, magine how damaging it would have been to Spanky’s image as a family values pussy grabber.
Spanky’s come-on line to Stormy: “You remind me of my daughter” (Do you suppose the evangelical crowd is now accepting Trump’s incest with his daughter?)
Watch yourself, accusing anyone of incest is hugely different than adultery. Better have more proof than you usually do.
Donald Trump’s Nearly Casually Remarks About Incest with daughter Ivanka
https://youtu.be/DP7yf8-Lk80
Trump not only talked about sex with his daughter, but he talked as if he wants to have sex with his daughter.
Provide a link to ANY Democratic president talking that way about his daughter, before, during, or after his presidency. There is none because we have never had a president as sick as spank grab ’em by the pussy golden-shower-loving Trump.
Fathers do not view their daughters in a sexual manner. Only sick fucks do. We can say with certainty that Trump is one of them. This isn’t the only piece of evidence of him saying this shit. The inbred deplorables of America voted for him. Many “Christian” evangelicals ignore Spanky’s immoral, adulterous, incestuous behavior.
“Only sick fucks do. ”
Janet,
He may be a sick fuck,
But he’s our sick fuck….
That the controlled media in America has taken the “moral high ground” in the very-stale, tame, lame, and frankly banal tale of Trump’s tawdry, trashy tryst with the terribly tainted tart is no surprise. The evil fuckers clearly have no bottom plus an agenda that their presstitute army pursues relentlessly.
Twelve years ago this wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am quicky was not newsworthy just routine; a wealthy businessman gets his rocks off in one shot with a blonde pornstar with quite the rack. Remember the salient key fact here – the man is a private individual. The porn star plays prostitute by accepting an honorarium. Oh yeah, it was consensual.
A quick remedy to this nonsense including Ms Daniel’s TeeVee interviews would no doubt entail having Miss Stormy’s best video highlights engaging in a double team with two or more Negro bucks with enormous equipment. One photo set or GIF loop with her fellating said African performers would probably silence all the other news outlets and media big mouths. The Kardashian family, on the other hand, would find it validating.
This 12 years old story doesn’t even rise to the supermarket mass-media mania with Jon-Benet Ramsay. Lurid, and shockingly suggestive of kiddie porn, the murder of the child was at least reported to the authorities in a timely manner. The whole Stormy Daniels episode displays the mass media for what it is – propaganda arm for the Evil Fucker’s mission to get rid of DJT anyway they can.
But as for me, I couldn’t give a flying fuck about who DJT was boffing 12 years ago or at any time before he took office.
What I am still waiting to know what the fuck the United States military is doing in Shitholistan and Iraq after 17 years. 17 YEARS! That is the question that needs to asked of the chief executive, not about his preference for blonde pornstars with big breasts.
17 God damned years people!
Republicans: Prefer increasing military spending and have a more hard line stance against countries like Iran, with a higher tendency to deploy the military option.
Democrats: Prefer lower increases in military spending and are comparatively more reluctant to using military force against countries like Iran, Syria and Libya.

Your frustration is understandable. Book suggestion The Whole Truth by David Baldacci. Fictional account but it reflects on today like you won’t believe. And it shows perhaps one reason for 17 years in a
S–thole. Think continuing profits.
Still pretty amazing how the sun got hid.
But it is choice. What do you want to hear about. Trumps bumblings or villages in northern Syria being exterminated by Erdo?an. But that question is rhetorical. You don’t get a choice. But genocide or titties, what would you choose if you had a choice?
The choice was made that all you get to do is sit back and enjoy the show years ago. Now everyone has drunk from the poison well in the middle of our town square and all have become mad. Atomized, isolated and into themselves. Americans have become an ice cream parlor of different flavors. Endless variety with every flavor following its own special dream alone in a nice round cardboard tub under a nice tight cardboard lid. Unaware of the other flavors in the parlor besides themselves. Divided and conquered we have become.
Kim Kardashian has been helping a shelter for unhoused women. She toured tent cities with a member of the LA city council and wants to help. The affluent come in many flavors and it appears Kim’s is one of the better ones. She started doing this last November.

Here is the rub. # 1. Currently 0.2% of the vehicles on the road are electric. Last year 1% of sales of cars were electric and slower than the year before. Three problems. One they cost too damn much, two, their range is too short (this is improving) and three, the infrastructure required to keep them charged is not available enough yet. The US will have to convert 340 million more cars to electric to get rid of gas powered cars. Where is all the electricity going to come from to generate all the power for these cars? Burning natural gas? And where when its production cannot keep up? We have had a hell of a time getting up to 10% on renewables, good luck adding all the cars to the load.
Actually short range is a plus. Conventional wisdom always says better cheaper faster but a discerning mind will realize that what really matters if a technical solution meets societies needs or not. If most people could only do sixty miles a day and have to wait for a battery charge for more, they would still be able to do everything they need to do in a day. A short range would actually stimulate community and would be a plus. The short range satisfies need. Extra range and speed only satisfies a want. There is a difference between the two but most people don’t know that.
Very true. Just as ‘work expands to fill the time available for its completion’ (Parkinson’s Law), ‘needs’ expand to match the energy available to meet them. Or something.
Janet, don’t get me wrong. We need to get the combustion pollution problem under control. The particulate toxins are poisoning us and causing cancer. The CO 2 is rising, and we are retaining more solar heat. I have done a lot of research for a church project on global warming and I have become a believer that warming is happening and the earth is trying its darndest to cool itself off. Our north polar cap and northern hemisphere glaciers are victims of the attempted air conditioning. When they are gone, the air conditioner does not work anymore.
But, the problem is more and more people needing energy. After reading The Long Emergency I believe that the scope of the problem is time limited, that CO2 problem will abate. The cause, the end of accessible fossil fuels and the WMBH. The earth will heal itself.
You are right, JohnAZ, in that it’s never really been a problem of the earth itself being in danger. The problem is in maintaining an environment that’s not hostile to us and the ecosystems we depend on. The earth can be any temperature at all and still be ‘the earth’ – just not one that’s very human friendly. It doesn’t depend on us and it doesn’t have feelings or aspirations to ‘health’. It it were a worrier, it would probably worry about big comets!

According to Wikipedia, Australia has the highest levels of skin cancer in the world?
And back in the 90s I knew an engineer who worked at the Goddard Space Flight Center and he explained that although the planetary missions are high profile, and get the most press; the majority of the missions are to study the sun.
he said all the engineers knew that was the best way to get one of your experiments, something you made… onto the shuttle and into space.
“According to Wikipedia, Australia has the highest levels of skin cancer in the world?”
Although it says on here…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_cancer_in_Australia
…that they have ‘one of the highest rates’, I thought they’d had a turnaround. They started slapping on the sun cream really thickly many years ago to stem the tide of melanoma deaths. (Those Nazis who escaped to South America after the war had similar problems with their cute little blond sprogs.)
It could even be a couple of decades ago that I read this, but at that time apparently the country that was second to Australia for skin cancer was…(drum roll…) Ireland!!
It was seemingly because people don’t realise how much damage can be done by sun filtered through clouds so they take no precautions. Shirtless workmen with freckled white torsos turning a delicate shade of beetroot didn’t know the risks they were taking.
Men apparently are particularly susceptible to melanomas on their driving-side arm. The things you find out, eh…
The real enemy of every biome is rapid environmental change. Natural history shows one extinction event after another with large percentages of die off. North America had one recently where large mammals disappeared over a short period of time. The reason for the change varies and science has given us many reasons for the changes, the most common is meteor activity. One thing that has come out of the climate change studies is that the Earth’s systems are a balancing act and that a change to a factor can cause significant change. The latest, of course is human caused combustion raising the CO2 percentage of the atmosphere. CO2 happens to resonate at the infrared frequencies which makes it a trap for heat. A major component of the ability for the earth to blow off heat is radiation into space. Increasing CO2 slows this radiation down and over time causes heat buildup. The equatorial regions get the main increase of heat as it is exposed more directly to the sun. So the model is increasing heat at the equator with an icebox at the poles. Now look at geography. The South Pole is partly isolated by ocean currents away from the heat of the equator. Not so the North Pole. There is no circulating current there as land is in the way. So the heat moving ocean currents and wind currents can access the interior of the North Pole area deeper. As the gradient increases from the equator to the polar areas, the flux increases in intensity, i.e. Wind currents increase and so do ocean currents. The net effect of all of this is increasing violence in the atmosphere as air pressure gradients increase and more heat is carried by the Gulf Stream and Pacific currents and dumped into the North Pole. Hence the North Pole is melting much faster than the South Pole. The real hazard here is what happens when the icebox used to air condition the planet runs out of ice. Sudden change is the real enemy to the entire biome. Man has the ability to figure out how to overcome the changes but the changes that are occurring will affect geo politics and distribution of diseases for two examples. Time will tell to see if we can adapt to the coming changes.
Animals and plants that are fitted closely into their environments, such as Polar Bears, have a tough time adapting to environment change. A cooling world climate and a way faring asteroid did in most of the planets animal life forms sixty five million years ago. The dinosaurs had no way to adapt to the changes and probably faded out as their more cold sensitivity did them in. The asteroid was the crowning touch. Humans made it through an Ice Age, and their ascent started at the end of the cold event. The world will change as adaptation takes place, I hope than man can control himself and adapt along with it.
Quite so, some higher and some lower – but all adapted to their environment. If you want to make the lower adaption the all in all, it just strengthens my arguments. Why would ANY dark skinned person be in Europe?

Time limited. Oh baby, cyanide with my Kool-Aid please. CO2 abates all right but I believe the half life is 1500 years. Light a match and half the CO2 made by it burning will still be around and causing perhaps .00000000000001% of the problem a thousand years from now.
Life is the main moderator of CO2. Plants absorb it and fix it into plant and animal forms. Satellite surveys of plant coverage shows significant increases already in areas where man isn’t cutting it down. What we are doing with fossil fuels is taking life forms, i.e. Fixed carbon, and burning it to turn the carbon back to CO2. As JHK said in TLE, we have succeeded in burning up 200 million years of stored solar energy, and carbon in 100 years. Just extrapolate that a little and WMBH becomes feasible very quickly.

There may be a secretive element within the FBI – or possibly not part of the FBI, but working closely with it – that will stop at nothing to help Deep State maintain its power.

I mean stopping at nothing, including a Murder, Inc., sort of system that may on the one hand work to eliminate reporters, but on another hand even be facilitating these mass shootings to serve some perverse political agenda like repeal of the 2nd amendment and the removal of the President.

I watched that last night Fin. That guy always does an excellent, professional job at what he does. How can Americans not be enraged by ANY agency or individuals refusal to answer subpoenas? Are they really that stupid? Perhaps I should not be so hard on them since they cannot do anything about it or about anything anymore anyway. I shall remain extremely disappointed in Americans however because above all, far too many do not care at all, pretty much about anything. Sooner or later, this not caring will have serious and probably dire consequences. Unfortunately for me, there is no victory in “I told you so”.
The War of Diplomats or is Trump winning the Civil War
The Russian Foreign Ministry proposed to close the US Embassy in St. Petersburg.
Poor Trump!
If you read the previous post there will be no doubt that the closure of the US Embassy in St. Petersburg as a response to the closure of the consulate in Seattle means the loss of the US in War of Diplomats, and Trump will be blamed for this loss.
Actually, the question which of consulate closes really gets geopolitical depth, since if Putin, contrary to the recommendations of the Foreign Ministry, closes the consulate general in Vladivostok, which is considered an analogue of the consulate in Seattle, it will mean that Trump is very close to a victory over Clinton, and Putin wants to support him in this fight.
And if Putin closes the US Consulate General in St. Petersburg would mean that according to the intelligence, which again reported everything accurately, Trump wins in the war with Hillary Clinton, but the final victory is far away.
But the closure of the US Consulate General in Yekaterinburg will mean we could all say our ass good bye!
I will explain these conclusions in more details later, when the situation clarifies a little, although I am personally sure now, but some little doubts still remain.

Trump’s lawyers are bailing out right and left. Stormy has better legal representation than the President. One of the President’s lawyers last year floated the possibility of pardons for two key targets of special counsel Robert Mueller: former top aides Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn. Can you say “obstruction of justice”?
More evidence of Russia collusion is still surfacing. Trump’s former deputy campaign chief Rick Gates had been in contact with a person linked to Russian intelligence before the 2016 election. That is not normal behavior before, during or after the transition.
Meanwhile, Michael Avenatti, counsel for porn actress Stormy Daniels, who claims she had unprotected sex with the President, filed a defamation suit against Trump’s lawyer Michael Cohen, hoping to force the commander-in-chief himself into a perilous deposition under oath. Trump is on the defense, helpless actually, because he is a serial liar and he will not survive discovery or deposition.
Janet, it is not Stormy Daniels, it is Stormy Petrel
Komerad Finc,
You must be really taken by the current Russian Vaporware…Stormy Petrel, indeed.
Vaporware in a sense it vaporises its targets?
Kamaraden Finc,
No doubt about that. It gives me the “vapors” just thinking about it…. However, I expect 5 years minimum, maybe 10 before all the bugs are addressed…you know, great big commie bugs…remember “I pretend to work, and they pretend to pay me”? I know that Russia is now a “democracy” of some sort, but beware the revanchists!
You KNOW that anything that flies has the opportunity to fail and fall out of the sky…that’s one of the reasons the US shelved the atomic aircraft engine in the ’60’s…and even in the late 50’s the Russians claimed they had a Nuclear propelled jet bomber…later found to be a hoax.
Interesting article from today: Michael Cohen’s Attorney May Be an Even Worse Lawyer Than He Is
I’ll sum up a bit. Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen, drew up the non-disclosure agreement that Stormy Daniels signed, but Trump never did. Since being an ultra-loyal ‘fixer’ for Donald Trump just may mean putting yourself in legal jeopardy to protect your client, Cohen has a lawyer of his own named David Schwartz. (No lawyer represents themselves — fool for a client, and all that).
Cohen’s whole thing is that he acted independently in paying off Stormy Daniels, hence his client Donald Trump is shielded, but he’s been vague about whether Trump was ever informed about the payoff. So Schwartz appears on Erin Burnett’s CNN show to ‘clear up’ some statements Cohen, his client, made. And Schwarz, who is apparently a genius, makes it clear that Cohen negotiated the agreement, and made his client (Trump) a party to that agreement, without ever informing Trump about it.
Two things: One, an attorney can’t do that. The legal profession frowns on lawyers who take action without their client’s consent and tends to disbar them. Two, this sure does help Stormy Daniels, yessirree bob! Her case is that the NDA is void because Trump never signed it, and Trump’s lawyer’s lawyer has just handed her a big ol’ box of ammunition.
Upshot: Trump’s lawyer may be about to lose his career, and as far as we know he’s still out the $130,000 he says he fronted to Stormy Daniels. Plus, we may all get to see Trump’s dick pics after all. Glory, hallelujah! What wondrous days these be.
12 years ago? Would it be dick-pics or txts? Voices on an answering machine? Or a big bluff? Stormy Knows about big.
I was behind a Tesla SUV the other day. Had my work phone. A block from work stopped at a light I noticed the license plate. BFT 473. Something like that; I made up the numbers but the letters are right. Big Fucking Tesla. Never did get the pic and it was a long light. Secret codes and thumb-prints, then the business of swiping and loading the camera App. Of course it wanted to update itself and I had to remind it that I’m boss before I could do a damn thing.
The light changed.
The exact wording of the NDA is: “2.1 Prior to entering into this Agreement, PP came into possession of certain ‘Confidential Information’ pertaining to DD, as more fully defined below, only some of which is in tangible form, which includes, but is not limited to information, certain still images and/or text messages which were authored by or relate to DD.” (Source.)
“DD” refers to “David Dennison”, the pseudonym which is understood to refer to Trump, while “PP” is Ms. Stephanie Clifford of pornographic fame. I draw your attention to ‘authored by’. So the wording suggests that Trump himself authored and sent text messages to Stormy, and at least raises the possibility that he took and sent, on his own initiative, the kind of photos women just love the most.
As for 12 years ago? Back in the day I had a Motorola Razr flip phone, which took both photos and videos. Not high quality by today’s standards, but perfectly recognizable. And that model was released in 2003. (It was originally a high-status item, only moving downmarket later on, which was how I was able to have one. But the alleged affair was three years after the phone was introduced and Trump, after all, is a billionaire.)
I’d never send anyone a dick pick. I have a responsibility not to break hearts and it would be an unbearable tease.
Nonsense said on air is nonsense said on air. It means nothing.
I’m not a lawyer, but if you break a contract, as Stormy clearly did, you have to pay back the money you received for upholding that contract. In this case, that would $130,000 USD. Now given that law proceedings can take years, and their costs can be just as long, Stormy better have a very deep pockets.
This horse face woman has a horse brain to match. My guess Stormy will spend her retirement years on San Julian Street, Downtown Los Angeles.
akmofo: “It means nothing.”
That’s for a court to decide, seems to me.
“[I]f you break a contract, as Stormy clearly did…”
Lawyers argue, judges decide. Talk to your bookie lately? What odds are they giving?
Well, the smart money would be on the smart money. I’ll leave you to do the leg work on that.
Who’s the smart money in this situation?
Laura Ingraham, Facing Boycott, Apologizes for Taunting Parkland Survivor David Hogg
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/29/business/media/laura-ingraham-david-hogg.html
“Laura Ingraham, a Fox News host, apologized under pressure on Thursday for taunting a survivor of the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., as at least five companies confirmed they would pull advertising from her show.
“The dispute began Wednesday when Ms. Ingraham shared an article about the student, David Hogg, 17, getting rejected from colleges and accused him of whining about it.
“In response, Mr. Hogg, who has rapidly become a prominent advocate for gun-control policies, called on Ms. Ingraham’s advertisers to boycott her show. Five of the companies, TripAdvisor, Wayfair, Hulu, Nestle and Nutrish, said Thursday they would pull their ads. A sixth, Expedia, said it had recently pulled its advertising but declined to say when.
“As news of the boycotts began coming out on Thursday, Ms. Ingraham apologized. ‘On reflection, in the spirit of Holy Week, I apologize for any upset or hurt my tweet caused him or any of the brave victims of Parkland,’ she said, extending an invitation for Mr. Hogg to appear on the show.”

“In the spirit of Holy Week”? *snort* The blonde lady with her own TV show felt completely safe attacking some 17 year old nobody, and then the nobody seriously threatened her career. With one tweet.
You have no feel for the underdog, dog.
Guess how is this incident described by Russian press?!
Mattis is in a difficult position: the war party wants him to start war, president is under attack as Putin sympathizer, congress is going to held him responsible if he start or doesn’t start a war, and general public is afraid of war with North Korea only but are not afraid of war with Russia!!!
U.S. Almost Attacked Russians in Syria Again but Moscow Stepped in, Mattis Says
https://www.yahoo.com/news/u-almost-attacked-russians-syria-192935006.html
In Russian press:
This week in East of Syria, an incident occurred that could lead to large-scale hostilities and the outbreak of war. According to US Defense Secretary James Mattis in the valley of the Euphrates River, there was almost a clash between the Russian military and the American forces.
According to a senior military official of the United States, the Russian unit, in the course of its re-dislocation, approached a site controlled by US marines east of the Euphrates River.
To prevent an armed conflict, the marines had to urgently contact Moscow to avoid possible confrontation.

Bring our troops home now. “America first”, right?
We’re getting Biblical. Soon Gog and Magog will attack with 200 million men. This must mean Russia and China since only China can field such numbers.
Gog and Magog is not a place but a people.
The early Amalekite kings were known as Agag or Agog in Hebrew Scripture, Apop to Egyptologists, and Ogyges to the Greeks. The Amalekites/“Hyksos” were driven out of Egypt with the help of King Saul. They were first driven East and then North. My guess is that these are what we today know as the Turks. The psychological profile and general temperament of the Turks very much fits to what we know of the opportunistic and very aggressive Amalekites.
The Russians are descendants of Danish/Scandinavian vikings who themselves are descendants of the seafaring Hebrew tribe of Dan.
Btw, “Gog Megog” are not two peoples. In Hebrew Gog Megog means Gog of Gog. Meaning the Amelekites and their descendants.

The kingdom is currently trying to diversify its economy beyond oil…. because diversity is strength.
You are right, economic diversity is a necessity. However, the motivation may be something different. JHK predicted that Peak Oil may hit Saudi Arabia soon. The use of water and surfactants to float loosely held oil has been being used in Arabia. They need alternative industry to employ their people and get them off the welfare state that oil has enabled. As production falls, reaction will be intense.
EVANGELICAL MORAL RELATIVISM
Question: You would be OK with Trump engaging in rape?
Answer: I would have to look at the circumstances and then make that judgement. –Jerry Falwell, Jr.
First off, no where has rape even been mentioned, the women have all stated it was consensual. Hence Falwell’s statement. The Libs have been trying to counter Bill’s Juanita Broderick problem since then. Groupies chasing Trump will not get them there. Consensual means that this is between Trump and his family. Just like Hillary, Jackie if Melania is willing to put up with him, it is no one else’s business.
Distraction is enough, as delays the problem being dealt with. One can die in debt in other words, and live fine in the meantime. Look how far this kind of hysteria has taken them! It’s working. They chip away at us piece by piece, with each generation more confused and dumbed down then the one before.
A few days after Scalia’s murder, Chelsea chirped, Now we can get the guns. The killer left the pillow on his face as mockery, yet people are too stupid to even notice. Just as they don’t see the mockery of giving Oscars to Polanski (female pedophilia) and a movie about male pedophilia. They are saying Me too is just window dressing. Business as usual will continue.
Skripal’s daughter no longer in a critical condition
Yulia Skripal is “improving rapidly” and no longer in a critical condition, four weeks after the Salisbury poisoning, the hospital has said.
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-43588450
Just aired on BBC. And 15 minutes ago they said that the Skripals were poisoned by the method of lubricating the door handle with poison, and then it is unclear how the daughter was poisoned less than the father.
Somehow I immediately recalled that today Maria Zakharova promised Boris Johnson the arrival of the Mother of Kuzma, and it seems that Borya made a puddle at the door.

“…Those cast aside by corporate capitalism—Noam Chomsky calls them “unpeople”—are rendered invisible and reviled at the same time. The “experts” whose opinions are amplified on every issue, from economics to empire and politics, are drawn from corporate-funded think tanks, such as the Heritage Foundation and the American Enterprise Institute, or are former military and intelligence officials or politicians who are responsible for the failure of our democracy and usually in the employ of corporations. Cable news also has the incestuous habit of interviewing its own news celebrities. Former CIA Director John Brennan, one of many former officials now on the airwaves, has morphed into a senior national security and intelligence analyst for NBC and MSNBC. Brennan was the architect of the disastrous attempt to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to arm “moderate” rebels in Syria, oversaw the huge expansion of our drone wars and instigated the canard that Russia stole the last U.S. presidential election. The most astute critics of empire, including Andrew Bacevich, are banished, as are critics of corporate power, including Ralph Nader and Chomsky. Those who decry the waste within the military, such as MIT Professor Emeritus Ted Postol, who has exposed the useless $13 billion anti-ballistic missile program, are unheard. Advocates of universal health care, such as Dr. Margaret Flowers, are locked out of national health care debates. There is a long list of the censored. The acceptable range of opinion is so narrow it is almost nonexistent.” — Chris Hedges
Empty piety of the American press, indeed. Stormy as not-paid-enough hoor and darling spearpoint of a gaggle of Rubicon-crossing, spurious moralists of the status quo. (The triple G doubling down on his stupidity is fun too!)
“I’m not a lawyer, but if you break a contract, as Stormy clearly did…” –akmofo
What contract?
Trump’s lawyer says he made up the contract without Trump’s knowledge. Lawyer’s cannot legally do that. If Trump had no knowledge of what Cohen was doing and Trump did not sign any paper, then no contract exists.
Stormy is free to do all the interviews she wants. She is not bound by a legal contract.
And she is going to sue their asses to prove it. Trump’s 20 million lawsuit was a bullying tactic. He will not press the issue, as his uncharacteristic silence proves, because he is afraid to go to court and have the facts come out, or perhaps to have his illegal behavior come out. Threatening a mother with physical violence in front of her child would not be looked upon kindly by a court.
Stormy has the DVD. Trump is shitting his pants.
Trump’s legal situation became yet more complicated with yet another development — a move by the lawyer for Stormy Daniels, the porn actress who says she had an affair with Trump, to launch a defamation suit against the President’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen.
Avenatti plans to compel a deposition by the President, which could hinge on the key question of what Trump knew about a $130,000 hush payment made to Daniels just before the 2016 presidential election, which some analysts believe could represent a violation of federal election laws.
In the motion filed in federal court in California, Avenatti asked to depose both Trump and Cohen, for “no greater than two hours.” A hearing on the request is set for April 30.
“We want to know the truth about what the President knew, when he knew about it and what he did about it,” Avenatti said on CBS “This Morning” Wednesday.
Trump has remained unusually silent on the Daniels offensive.
What did the President know, and when did he know it. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
Ozone, you say the term “public servant” no longer applies in most cases. You bet it doesn’t. Any such notion is evidently beaten out of new hires forthwith. The public service serves itself, it doesn’t even pretend to do otherwise. Even something as mundane as educating the kiddies is a complete calamity as the hapless Michelle Rhee found out when she tried to drain the Washington DC school system swamp and found it a bottomless mire. You go to a government office and take a number and sit and wait. And wait and wait preferably until you expire. If you make it to the wicket you find that even the lady there is entrusted with being the Deep State’s first line of defense against you. You want information? You get the run around, you get DIS-information, you get carefully crafted instructions designed to baffle. I’m probably repeating myself with this tirade but there it is, you find out in your encounters with the public service who the servants actually are and it ain’t them, it’s you.
“You go to a government office and take a number and sit and wait.” –volodya
Maybe that is your experience in Canada. That is not my experience in the United States. Besides your definition of “public servant” seems to be restricted to office workers. Teachers are public servants. Librarians are public servants. The post office employees are public servants. There are a whole host of government services where you do not take a number. You do not wait. You get immediate friendly service with a smile.
Because government is not uncaring or indifferent to you as a citizen. At least not in the US. The government in the US is of the people, by the people, for the people. Friends and neighbors work in government service. Whether paying my city water bill or going to the state DMV office or renewing a federal passport, I have consistently had pleasant experiences. I have always been provided with friendly service. Maybe you should consider leaving Canada if things are so bad and public servants are not polite to you.
Of course, If you go into a government office as a cranky old man… with a combative attitude, you may be subverting yourself, intentionally generating ill will by your provocation. Then you can go on blogs and rant about government.
V.,
What happens when the government no longer serves the average schlub, and turns to serving and propagating its bloated bureaucracies and corporate masters/parasites?
The loss of trust is what we always warn about here. No one is listening, and those that do seem to think it’s a minor matter. It’s the very *root* of social cohesion. (By extension, we see that the lowest “servants” on the totem pole – the police, don’t understand this concept at all. So, what to expect as we go upwards through the hierarchy?)
For a long time lack of trust will sit like the proverbial elephant in a room that nobody wants to talk about. Social cohesion falls apart because there is no reward for being social in a trust-less society but this rot is like the elephant, ignored. It is slow as society bifurcates into a riotous rot of dysfunctional irresponsible adjustments. A rot from within yet everything remains the same sort of. Eventually in time the cumulative effect of everyones personal rebellion, drama, and lack of responsibility becomes to much for the social web to bear and cohesion vanishes as???? As what I do not know! But it is not good.
The police. Black bears are waking up and helping themselves to garbage cans. A report on the local news last night……………
Deputies were summoned to a suburban black bear sighting but when they arrived there was no sign of the bears.
Thankfully!!!!!
Deputies with guns and you can’t gel lower on the black social branch in American than being a black bear. Some people freak just seeing you. Black lives matter!!!!!!!!!!!! If I see a bear I won’t report it. It would suck to be shot after sleeping all winter.
Breaking News: The Pope says there’s no such thing as Hell -??
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – The Vatican on Thursday rebuked a well-known Italian journalist who quoted Pope Francis as saying hell does not exist.
The Vatican issued a statement after the comments spread on social media, saying they did not properly reflect what the pope had said.
Eugenio Scalfari, 93, an avowed atheist who has struck up an intellectual friendship with Francis, met the pope recently and wrote up a long story that included a question-and-answer section at the end.
The Vatican said the pope did not grant him an interview and the article “was the fruit of his reconstruction” not a “faithful transcription of the Holy Father’s words”.
That’s common among Vatican Two Theologians or those trained by them. One famous one said, It exists, but its empty. But lets face it: most of them don’t believe in any of this stuff. So what’s the point of the Church anymore? All the funny hats and droning prayers? A giant charity ward? Or a series of Art Museums/Gay Bath Houses? Or just another organization devoted to beating Whites into submission?
What’s the point of Caesar worship?
“The loss of trust is what we always warn about here.” –ozone
Yes, so many trusted Trump when he said he was going to deport the immigrants so fast your head would spin,
when he said he was going to build a wall across the entire southern border (and Mexico would pay for it),
when he said he would ban Muslims from entering the country (something completely unconstitutional as several courts have repeatedly told him),
when he said he was going to repeal Obamacare (today Obamacare is still the law of the land),
when he said he was going to rebuild infrastructure and make America great (he is still talking about that 14 months later, today in Ohio),
when he said he was going to declare war on opioids,
when he said he would scrap the Iran deal (he has continued to ratify it every 90 days),
when he said he would cut taxes (he cut taxes for his billionaire buddies and millionaires, but not for the middle class),
when he said he would take care of the wounded veterans,
when he said he would not touch Medicare or Social Security,
when he said he would eliminate ISIS (with a secret plan… but ISIS, the Taliban, and Al Qaeda are still strong),
when he said he would put the coal miners back to work,
when he said he would stop companies from shipping factories to Mexico and China,
when he made so many other empty promises…
Politicians break campaign promises all the time. Some are big promises; some are small. But few have been broken as completely, as brazenly and as casually as Donald Trump’s promise not to play golf, or at least not to play a lot of golf, as president.
Candidate Trump told campaign crowds many, many times that a President Trump would be so busy serving the American people that golf would be out of the question.
“I’m going to be working for you,” he told a campaign rally crowd in August 2016. “I’m not going to have time to play golf.”
“I love golf, but if I were in the White House, I don’t think I’d ever see Turnberry again,” he said in February 2016, referring to the famous course he owns in Scotland. “I don’t think I’d ever see Doral again,” he added, referring to the famous course he owns in Miami. “I don’t ever think I’d see anything — I just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off, make great deals, right? Who’s gonna leave?”
It hasn’t turned out that way.
As president, Trump has not only found time to play the occasional round of golf — he has found time to play lots of golf.
Even Ann Coulter has abandoned Trump because Trump cannot be trusted.
“I knew he was a shallow, lazy ignoramus, and I didn’t care,” Coulter admitted to an audience largely composed of College Republicans and a few hecklers at Columbia University on Tuesday night.
It was the sort of anti-Trump invective that Coulter would share privately with pals, including this reporter, over a wine-soaked dinner during the first year of the new administration, but in recent weeks she has increasingly voiced her displeasure in public forums.
Exactly – we’ve become amoral just like you folks who continue to embrace the scumbag Bill Clinton. Or Obama who invited illegals to vote. Anything to win at this point. Our backs are against the wall, not the Wall.
The Jewish Wailing Wall has triumphed over the American Wall of Freedom.
If we can ever get a real President in office, he has to suspend the whole process and become a Dictator for Life – that’s the only thing that will save us at this point.
Trump mused about ASKING for funds to be taken from the military budget! He is a disgrace. We elected him to DO what had to be done and to TAKE what he needed. This kind of endless weakness and caviling is what Fascism hates about the Democratic process and yes, it is what lead to the ascent of the Hero in Germany.
If the process was working and America was healthy, I wouldn’t want a Dictator, just as one doesn’t want an operation that one doesn’t need. It’s dangerous and harmful in any case.
Janos and Janet
You both are talking about the same thing. Trump’s ralleys during the campaign showed him to be the big reverser of the socializing direction the nation was going especially internationally. He got elected. The bravado lessened with exposure to the Deep State in DC and I blame the Never Trumpers more than anyone. The Dems are right about the GOP being in charge of everything and unable to govern. Trump will never succeed with the Lily livered GOP in Congress. Obama ran into the same thing fromthe Left, where the GOP blocked everything after year 2. The GOP represents the conservative picture of America but with its apparent inability to get its shit together this viewpoint has no champion. Trump was the hope of these people, he talked big but pissed off the Establishment GOP so much that they repudiated him. So he has no legs with which to drain the swamp. He even knows that if Dems regain either house that the Trump revolution is over. The great white hope is losing steam and quickly, that is why Coulter is distancing herself. I sure hope she has a better plan because with Trump’s potential demise, so goes what is real and genuine about the GOP.
Trump needs to expose the GOP for the Chinese agents that they are.
“I knew he was a shallow, lazy ignoramus, and I didn’t care,” Coulter admitted….
Janet,
Yeah, what she said….
The closure of the American consulate in St. Petersburg in three days is not the answer to Trump for the expulsion of 60 Russian diplomats and the closure of the consulate in Seattle, this is answer to Hillary Clinton for the expulsion of 35 Russian diplomats on December 29, 2016 in 72 hours in order to arrest them and their family members at the airport on 2 January 2017, thus provoking a war with Russia 20 days before the inauguration of Donald Trump.
And Trump understands this perfectly, as well as the fact that this option is not yet an eye for the eye – no one is going to arrest American diplomats. But this is a good way to end this war, of which he became an involuntary participant, despite the fact that it was his first national security adviser, General Flynn, who provided the evacuation of Russian diplomats on January 1, 2017, with a special charter flight to Moscow, when civil aircraft did not fly.
I suppose that a week ago when Theresa May arranged a tantrum in the EU, Clintonoids came to him and showed real and not fake evidence that Russian diplomats in Seattle are spying against the naval bases in Seattle, which they prepared long before the incident in Solsbery for this very reason. Well, for example, recalling a well-known episode of the Cold War, when they went through the sewers and installed sonar next to the main fairway of the base.
In this situation, Trump certainly could not fail to expel Russian diplomats and not close the Russian consulate, but that does not mean that he surrendered to the will of the Clintonoids who will undoubtedly continue to press him to continue this war and close the consulate in New York, which is paired with consulate in St. Petersburg.
But it is the straight path to breaking diplomatic relations and the collapse of the UN, whose headquarters are in New York, and closing any of the consulates in Ekatirenburg or Vladivostok does not correspond to this magnitude. The fact is that this war has become a war not so much between the US and Russia, but with the war of supporters of Hillary Clinton and Trump, who even before the beginning of his election campaign said that the modern world and relations with Russia should be built on the basis of so-called moral equivalence.
That is, it is the Roosevelt Peace which he offered to Stalin in Yalta and with which Stalin agreed and was determined to implement until Truman after Roosevelt’s death had not buried it in Potsdam, starting the era of nuclear blackmail of the USSR, also known as the Cold War.
And all its acquisitions and victories after the Second World War the United States achieved through the threat of use of nuclear weapons, including the withdrawal of the Federation Council’s permission to use the Russian army in Ukraine, which Putin received on the eve of his trip to Normandy in 2014.
But since then, Russia has achieved a decisive military superiority in the field of nuclear weapons and the right to moral equivalence belongs to Russia by right, including by the right of the strongest. And the Clintonoids from the beginning do not recognize this right for Russia and are at war with Trump precisely because he recognizes this right even without the right of the strongest.
And so it turned out that the war between Trump and Clinton for recognizing Russia’s right to moral equivalence took the form of a war of diplomats and the closure of consulates in Yekaterinburg or in Vladivostok meant the recognition by Russia of its unequal position in the dispute that Trump leads with Clinton, and for historical reasons the issue of moral equivalence between Russia and the United States is densely correlated with the right of the American people to participate in the economic successes of the United States and the national sovereignty which the globalists deny them.
All this would not have mattered if Trump had finally defeated Hillary Clinton, but so far the civil war in the US is continuing and the Clintonoids are screaming that they are not afraid of Russian military superiority and are ready to heroically die for the moral superiority of the United States, expressed mainly in the right to call aggression the Russia’s reluctance to recognize the results of the Cold War as sacrosanct, the closure of the consulate in Vladivostok would have meant, among other things, the betrayal of Trump in the uncompromising war he wages against Hillary Clinton.
Russia should’ve instead expelled Chinese diplomats in retaliation for China’s unlawful activities on its soil. China routinely kidnaps Chinese gov mafia critics and dissidents in foreign lands, including the UK, Russia, and the US. Such actions by Russia would have exposed the hypocrisy of the UK and US, as well as expose the Chinese machinations in this sordid diplomatic setup.
Lavrov in his press conference should have been asking reporters: how many Chinese diplomats did your government expel for their blatant attacks on your country’s sovereignty and why haven’t they done so? Put the pressure on China and its agents.
Chinese are welcomed to settle their own grievances with the West, especially the devastating results for the Chinese people of two Opium Wars that happened in 19th century.
Russia’s grievances with the West, specifically with the Western Black Project go a little farther down the centuries, all the way to the Fourth Crusade and the destruction by the hordes of Western Barbarians of the Christian Roman Empire.
Yes, but why involve Russia in this settlement of old grievances? Actually, I know why. Anyhow, in my judgment this whole anti-Russia circus is Chinese orchestrated.
Okay, news report today says that Walmart is beginning actions to buy Humana. What is going on? Bezos et al are looking into getting into healthcare. Why? Are there going to be two corporations left? Buy anything you want from Walmart or Amazon. James, what is going to happen to your concerns about Entropy in TLE? What is next, oil and gas, defense? Look at Elon Musk, cars, boring company and express trips to Mars. One interesting tangent is does this mean that Walmart and Amazon are going into competition with Obamacare? Interesting! Interesting that Trump is looking in Amazon’s direction regarding anti-trust. The last president that fought too big to fail corporationswas a hard hitting populist. Teddy Roosevelt broke up Standard oil.
Welcome to New Era Central Planning.
If corporation wants to operate in the United States, giving something back to the American people – like providing health care – would be mandatory.
Central Planning!!!! Robotics make us useless to them.
Exactly. Humans are the biggest enemies of the industrial capitalism and essentially, not needed.
But!
This land is your land
This land is my land.
From California to the New York island;
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters.
This land was made for you and Me.!
So providing health care becomes the function of corporations? Interesting, ten years ago, corporations i.e. employers provided cut rate health insurance for their employees. By the corporations providing health care directly, are they eliminating the middle man? Sounds like socialized medicine without the government. The Elite takes control of another aspect of our lives.
I read a sci-fi once, cannot remember the name, it was a long time ago, where corporations took over the world and eliminated governments. Life became Wall to wall Facebook. Sound like someone we know?
No, it will be the new form of – I am not afraid to say it – socialism. Of course there will be elites, but under strict governmental control, financial and otherwise – i would say technocratic elites with NO enormous personal wealth to create hereditary dynasties, to make way for social elevators.
This is the same argument Yan makes for fascism. “The government will control the elites”. It is delusional nonsense. The elites spawn and sponsor government and with it whatever laws they wish to inflict on the population. You want to take control away from the elites — decentralize! The less government the less control the elites can maintain. I would also argue for the outlaw of all corporations. Corporations are a vehicle for centralizing capital and abstracting indentity of ownership. It is the perfect instrument for legal fraud.
I have read Bezos Inc. is looking to expand.
Dry goods, since the 1990s.
Food.
Meds.
And his Cloud makes more money than Amazon and his WaPo-CIA reward was HUGE $.
Actually, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay long ago [1992?] I went to a talk by Jon Rappaport.
he was the first [for me] to warn of GMOs.
And a lock up.
Same billionaires would own GMOs [make ya sick], Pharma [meds for GMOs] AND Seed Companies.
Yikes, he is right.
The Free Market Liberal Capitalism is too inefficient and wasteful in the new era of diminishing resources and reluctance of Russia to serve as an organ donor on the Western Banquet of Life.
Thoroughly planning and daily computing the inter-industry balances for the optimum allocation and distribution will be the way to go.
Three major sources of oil currently US, Middle East and Russia. To fuel all these suvs and pick up trucks in America, and Europe we need all the sources of oil available. So what do we, the US and Europe do, antagonize no. 3 to the point of war, What is Europe going to do without oil and gas from Russia? They won’t get is from us, we haven’t got enough for ourselves. Other sources flaky at best. Watch the cost of oil, steadily rising Year to year. Something is definitely messing with supply and demand. We need a little cooperation in the world regarding oil production and distribution. It is too critical to be wasting it burning in cars.
Sometimes I think mankind is out of its fracking mind!
SPROG: BRITISH informal; humorous
noun 1. a child.
How very demonic. Trying too hard again, Janos./
Oh, you fancy yourself the witty one, do you? you do.
Are you a Brit? One of the tribe?
“Oh, you fancy yourself the witty one, do you? you do.
Are you a Brit? One of the tribe?”
Nothing gets past you, does it, Malthuss? Oh, wait…
OK, are you sitting down, Malthuss? OK, yes, I am British, and guess what, we use ‘sprog’ quite routinely as a mildly humorous alternative to ‘kid’. You can even use it as a verb. ‘Sprog – to give birth’.
My Gosh and By Golly 🙂
Not sure which particular tribe you mean, though, Malthuss. Even in my corner of the United Kingdom (yes that means there used to be more than one), there isn’t one pure tribe. Shock, horror… I do hope you’re still sitting down, Maltho, m’lad.
Here’s some more to blow your mind from up my way to refer to the sprogs: weans (pron. ‘wains’) and bairns.
https://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/culture/books/scottish-word-of-the-week-weans-and-bairns-1-3220599
I love a bit of etymology myself. You?
As you can see I’ve accidentally used OK twice – Americansms get everywhere, don’t they? And breed like flies once you let them in 🙂
*Americanisms*
Typos get everywhere too.
“We’ll be coming out of Syria, like, very soon” –Donald J. Trump today
About time. And bring the troops home from Afghanistan, Korea, Germany, Japan, etc.
America first… and all that.
“We’ve eliminated 3,747 terrorists [in Syria’s Afrin],” Erdogan said on Sunday, adding that Ankara has now begun an operation against the Kurdish militants in Iraq’s Sinjar.
Ankara’s operation ‘Olive Branch,’ targeting Kurdish militias in Syria’s Afrin region, has nearly realized its goals, according to Erdogan. “We will take control of the Tal Rifaat town shortly and thus achieve the goals of the operation,” he said. Tal Rifaat is the last stronghold in the Afrin region held by the Kurdish militias.
“
Syria first please, there is a potential bomb between us and Russia just waiting to go off.
The 2016 election is over and Donald Trump is president, so why is Hillary Clinton still making public appearances and talking to crowds?
Or, as Ruth Mandel, director of Rutgers Eagleton Institute of Politics, put it to Clinton Thursday at Rutgers in Piscataway, why still talk when “people say get off the stage and shut up”?
The former secretary of state’s response was direct:
“They never said that to any man who was not elected.”
Was there such a man? Who’s her example?
John Kerry, Al Gore, Romney, George H. W. Bush, etc. lost in presidential elections. They continued speaking. They were not told to STFU.
And, unlike Hillary, they did not win the popular vote by millions of legal votes cast by legal voters. Hillary needs to continue speaking out.
You are imagining things. They all conceded and moved on.
You keep forgetting that her gender made no difference, this person was slated by everybody to wipe out DJT by a landslide. She and her contingent were so overconfident that they did not even campaign the rust belt. That is the reason she lost! The Reagan Dems that voted for Obama for two elections voted for Trump. And it will the day that anyone wants the crazies in California to run the country with their illegal votes.
President Trump traveled to Ohio Thursday for a rally, hoping to revive interest in his plan to revamp America’s roads, bridges, railways and ports.
The president wants $1.5 trillion in new spending on infrastructure, but Congress so far has allocated $21 billion — slightly more than 1 percent of the president’s goal.
Among the president’s top economic plans for America — tax cuts, deregulation, infrastructure and renegotiated trade deals — infrastructure is the area where Trump has accomplished the least.
Wait until Trump confiscates the Clintons’ billions from their charity fraud and exposes their history of drug trafficking pederast rapes and mass murders.
The Clintons have been victims of dozens of investigations. In the latest, the FBI has been investigating the Clinton Foundation for months. No evidence of wrongdoing has ever been found.
There were no investigations. What was, was theatrical comedy. The criminals that put on that show will be joining the Clintons behind bars.
And it is deficit hawks that are killing the funding. GOPers. Must be tough to fight both sides!
TRUMP’S ECONOMY TAKING MONEY OUT OF YOUR WALLET
The week Trump took office gas cost an average of $2.33 a gallon — And since then, prices have gone up.
The price of a gallon of self-serve regular gas will average $2.57 nationally in 2018, according to a GasBuddy.com forecast. It’s already $3.00 a gallon or more in some parts of the country (like Nevada, Oregon, Washington, California)
Larger cars can hold 15 or 16 gallons. We fill up our tanks to often, with American drivers on average using 656 gallons per person.
656 fill ups times $0.60 Trump increase = $393.60 gas cost increase under Trump
Yeah, Trump goes up to the Resolute desk every Monday morning and pushes a button on his computer to jack up the price of gas another nickel a gallon. So I guess it is his sole fault and has nothing to do with geopolitics, Peak Oil, Russia problems, Middle East problems, Venezuela problems, Nigeria problems. Sometimes you crack me up grasping at straws.
And most of these problems have been with us for thirty years or so.
a mans body with the head of a lion
a gaze blank and pitiless as the sun
with thought of incest his slow thighs grid
while all about shadows of indignant
neo-liberal birds fill the fairway before him
in time he will slink to Washington
where more chaos is born
Where did this come from, The NY Times, Washington Post or CNN?
If the U.S kicks the Russians out of the International Space Station, how will anyone else get to or from it?
Catch a ride with the Chinese?
