One way or another, I’m gonna find you
I’m gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya
— Blondie
Perhaps the presidency has been an overly solemn office since, oh, the days of Millard Fillmore, the dreary weight of all that mortal responsibility — slavery, war, more war, depression, yet more war, nukes, we shall overcome, terror, Lehman Brothers, Ferguson, Russia here, there, and everywhere…uccchhh….
And so, at last: a little comic relief. I mean, imagine Grover Cleveland putting the choke-slam on Thomas Nast. Dwight Eisenhower punching out Edward R. Murrow. Jack Kennedy applying the Macumba Death Grip to Walter Lippman. Nahhhh. But Donald (“The Golden Golem of Greatness”) Trump versus CNN! Now that’s a matchup worthy of the WWF Hall of Fame. I just kind of wish the big fella had gone all the way and put in Anderson Cooper’s mug instead of the CNN logo box. Make it truly up front and personal since, let’s face it, Andy has been the most visible conduit of Jeff Zucker’s animadversions.
At least The New York Times seemed to take the prank in stride, calling it, “an unorthodox way for a sitting president to express himself.” Well, yes! Nicely put. They didn’t call for the Commander-in-Chief to be stripped down to his silk small-clothes and be run through a gantlet of aggrieved trannies. Well, I dunno, maybe that’s next….
But who says a president has to merely sit behind a desk and utter platitudes about bringing us together? Nobody really falls for that anymore. But a body-slam — whoa, now that’s some change you can believe in! At least the GGOG didn’t send in some NSA black box contractors to smoke the CNN board of directors and that miserable fucker Zucker — though it does lead one to wonder how Mr. Trump intends to orchestrate his upcoming confab with Vlad (“The Impaler”) Putin. I’d like to see the president at least put on a cape for that one.
I suppose Mr. Trump was reacting to the fire-hose of objurgation aimed at him over the weekend on CNN by Carl Bernstein, reporter extraordinaire of Watergate fame, who referred to Trump’s sojourn in the Oval Office as “a malignant presidency.” Isn’t comparing a person to cancer about as low as you can go? (You talkin’ to me???) That should technically entitle Mr. Trump to an inverted stomp face-breaker followed by a fall-away moonsault slam, topped off by a final gorilla drop. Hell, get the referee to sit on Bernstein’s face for the count.
Bernstein went a little further, even, into the dark slough of disrespect, intimating that all the occult powers of the Deep State should be mobilized to remove the golden tumor from America’s body politic:
“That malignancy is known to the military leaders of the country, it’s known to the Republican leadership in Congress who recognize it, and it’s known to the intelligence community…. This president is not in control of the presidency in a way that it is functioning. That has got our leaders worried, they are worried about his character, they are worried about his temperament,” Bernstein said. “We are in foreign territory. We have never been in a malignant presidency like this before.”
Perhaps Mr. Bernstein is just the messenger appointed by the Deep State to flop it all out on the table, so to speak, like so much Fourth of July pulled smoked pork: You’ve gone too far, you suppurating mass of rogue protoplasm! We’re coming to get ya now, with the deadliest move of all: the 25th amendment. Let Mike Pence be the reincarnation of Herbert Hoover. This shit is not funny anymore.

Jim,
I’m popping for your Thesaurus rehab stint and Bernstein had one huge hit in the early seventies he has been coasting on ever since.
One way or another their going to get him but they are no better. They have hearts of glass and are cold as ice. Happy birthday Deborah Harry!!!
Imagine if the energy in the effort to get Trump were harnessed for good. The nation would prosper and endure!

When exactly was it funny? 🙁
vp67,
It’s been funny for the entire course of the human clusterfuck! But especially moreso in the age of eternal, blu-rayed, un-connectedness. (…and why is ‘especially’ spelled like that??) No wonder we’re here with these “inconsequential” troubles.
One has to wonder if it matters whether he stays or goes. It might matter, in the sense that Pence is considered to be more amenable to control by the power elite, since we still don’t know about Trump in that regard.
If the choice is between an incompetent autocrat and a competent theocrat I will choose the former. Leave the zombie prez in place for less mischief on the home front.
Alas, that is one bastard of a choice but I be afeared that you have the rightness of it.
Trump (and every president) has no power against the deep state. At least Trump is willing to piss them off with his tweets. Ineffective but better than nothing.
Agreed. I liken it to the meme of the frog in the mouth of the pelican that is flipping the bird off as he goes down for dinner. Of course President Trump is only flipping off the political scum and not the Deep State, and he will be allowed to remain alive and maybe even stay in office if he continues to give them the increasing scope, size and numbers of foreign wars for profit.
Ineffective?
Hmm… CNN credibility all but destroyed… check.
How many CNN staffers fired/asked to resign… 3? check.
AP retracts stories… check.
MSNBC Joe, while a congresscritter, had a dead aide found in his office… and it all went away… yet, came out again… Psycho Joe indeed… check.
How many more checks in this game, do we see, before MSM surrenders?
Dunno, but I do love the tweets, and hope he continues to knock the assholes down.
We whine at ‘politicians’ doing politician things… yet, when we get a non politician doing non politician things… WE STILL WHINE.
How ya like your Fourth Turning folks? I hope the man on the white horse is not taken out in the 25th, because that, will cause a lot of dead gov folks… you have no idea how pissed off the country is… you’re being pissed at Trump is the true act of mental illness, stuck on Hitlerly… and if she was elected that would have just moved CWII in faster.
Stick a fork in us, we’re done, hello world made by hand.
Yeah, Bernstein still thinks he has the moral high ground, desperate to repeat his Watergate heroics just like any old hippy still living off faded glory and the memory of old trips. Journalism is dead and in some cases like this, the journalists themselves helped kill it.
I agree with your check-list but not the assertion we’re done and ready for the fork.. Despite the entire Establishment clearly and aggressively aligned against President Trump — specifically including cowardly bought-and-paid-for RINOs — there are tons of us “commoners” that clearly see what’s going on and are willing to fight for their country. Yeah, we’ve been royally screwed but a come back is still possible . . . if only because central banksters have also screwed every other major country and region world-wide.
Fork, as metaphor for civility…
Is. Done.
When civility is done, we’re done as a constitutional republic, and shall become ‘something’ else. I predict, the PTB, also known as The Establishment, will crash the System and blame it on Trump, then recriminations, counter recriminations, ramped up protests, violence, hmm, oh wait… we’re already there…
When they crash the dollar, the dogs are unleashed, the black horseman falls, and the green horseman comes with the Death Worshipers in the lead…
Metaphor works, if you have ‘eyes that see’.
Regardless of state of POTUS, the country remains one a where substantial portion of population voted for him in spite plain and clear disregard of civility during the campaign. This is the real problem. Not all the king’s horses and all the king’s men will be able to put it together again.
The people who voted for Trump voted for him precisely BECAUSE of his “plain and clear disregard of civility during the campaign.” Trump was rude to people they fantasized about being rude to. That, and they believed he truly was the scripted character on the TV show who said, “You’re Fired.” No doubt, they probably think Jimmy Walker is an explosives expert because he used to say, “Dy-No-Mite!”
I voted for him because he had the best grasp of the problems our country is facing, and was the only one with any ideas about how to do more than keep it going the way it has been going until it can’t go anymore.
I voted for him because I was disgusted by the big giveaway to big corporations that was labeled as reform, with mandatory participation.
I voted for him because I was sick of seeing innocent young white men being castigated and blamed for everything, from the Oval Office.
I voted for him because I am horrified by what has happened in the black “communities”.
I voted for him because I saw a young woman murdered by a criminal who never should have been here, but for whom people who receive taxpayer money from Americans went out of their way keeping him here.
I voted for him because he’s the only candidate who mentioned the ‘false economy’, and if the others even know what that is, they don’t want to do anything about it, because they profit from the status quo.
I could go on.
Well, you sure showed them! Thank you! And thank god we now have a daddy who is going to fix all the bad stuff.
I showed them too. Not being one inclined to stick my head in the sand and ignore what The Hildabeast (or Cankles if you prefer) would have instigated after her coronation. And “Daddy” isn’t going to fix anything by himself . . . we’re all in this together. Too bad Obama left so much that needs such desperate fixing.
He has an immense amount of executive experience and that includes firing people. He fired James or if you prefer, Jim, Comey. Remember? Or were you too busy swimming to your private Idaho?
Many of the white males who voted for Trump remind me of the German paramilitary guys (freikorps), ex-soldiers who returned to a defeated Germany at the end of 1918 with not much of a future to look forward to. I think most of the Trumpsters will end up very disappointed with him as he appears to be more interested in supporting tax cuts for billionaires than in fixing our broken health care system.
I think former Senator Jim Webb would have made a much better president but the system was not kind to him. The smart money in the Democratic party was on Hillary and Webb was forced to drop out in October 2015 for lack of financial support. Now we have to live with the consequences.
In the larger scheme of things, esp. regarding the domestic legislative situation, whether Trump stays or goes may not matter. But as things unravel with international finances and relationships it may help calm foreign nerves a bit—and lead to fewer rash actions—if other world leaders don’t consider the POTUS clinically insane and an utter wild card.
It’s all so depressing, and hasn’t been funny for a long, long time. Everywhere one looks things just seem FUBAR.
No Jim, it is not funny at all, it is pathetic and it has been degrading rapidly for many a Chief Executive Puppet now. Yes maybe Ronald Regan may have looked good at it, but after all he was an actor and good at deception. Look at Georgie Junior hiding behind school children as Dirty Dick Cheney sacrificed thousands of Americans for profit, was that “presidential”? Or Bill (who should have been named Dick) doped and whored his way into the Anal Office, anything presidential about THAT? And why bother even going into Barry the Sins Of His Father doper? You see anything presidential about THAT clown? America has to (but never will) stop putting incompetents into office utilizing the pathetic popularity contest that voting has become, and start setting at least minimal competence standards for the office. Most of us out here have had many jobs in our lifetimes, but I have never had a single one where I did not have to offer some forms of proof that I was actually capable of doing what I was purporting to be able to do. Of course that will never even be considered, but it would be a nice idea IMHO. When you consider the facts, is it not terribly sad and pathetic that the “highest office” (that one’s for you Barry), has absolutely NO minimum standards or requirements other than a smile and a wave of one hand as the other reaches behind you for your wallet? You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you may find, you get what you deserve.
Oh my Walter, how could you have passed over Obama, probably the worst President of all. Oh yes, loved by the media for issuing nothing but cliched, vacuous platitudes of reassurance masking his administration being the bitch of globalist agenda and the maudlin crowd of whiners who’ve embraced a masochistic interpretation of history charging all ‘wrongs’ of the world to fault of Western culture — particularly America (white folks).
Pardonne moi s’il te plait, but the Barry O Sins of the Father doper IS Obama. While I did not have the stomach to read the entire book (confession ) that he produced it is an indictment of his pathetic, un-presidential history that all should be aware of.
You’re still operating on the Roman model of decorum. Rome has fallen and the Visigoths are having their way. In contrast to Roman centurions, Germanic chiefs thrill their men with feats of strength and agility.
Our Civilization has failed. It’s time for something new. If it hadn’t been utterly corrupt (like late stage Rome), then Visigoths like Trump couldn’t have attained power.
Or would prefer the Liberals and Globalists who want to turn us over to the tender mercies of Islam? And/or replace us with new citizens from Africa and Latin America?
I want to see Trump at a banquet leaping from table to table. Perhaps kicking Anderson in the face by accident.
“Germanic chiefs thrill their men”
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
I would like to see that myself, Janos.
Where live no politician ever had to show proof he was capable of anything. Why, one and the same person is first head of the family ministry, then secretary of defence, then finance minister smoothly slipping from one role into another, one size fits all.
It’s always been Establishment Candidate D or Establishment Candidate R — both fully bought-and-paid-for by special interests, namely central banksters and their buddies. And let’s never forget those cowardly politicians who wear black robes and act so dignified and wise. Now we may start seeing more and more uprisings (and candidates) that began with the deep unhappiness which spawned the Tea Party first and, now, President Trump.
Looking at this from 11 time zones away, and as a 1950s Air Force brat and cold-war liberal, I have been attempting to puzzle out what the holder of the ‘highest office’ is but a ‘Master of Ceremonies’, glad-handing and moving the program along. It looks to me that this has been the case since the era of LBJ, aka ‘Landslide Lyndon’, and Tricky Dick Nixon, both of whom were extremely powerful and effective executives, but who inadvertently degraded the office to such an extent that TPTB carefully neutered it afterwards.
Hot line to Moscow: ‘Tell them the President’s too drunk to talk to them’. Now that’s power; another Nixonian tactic was to ‘Make them think it’s the “Nixon’s gone crazy” act’, plotting his moves with Henry W.C. Kissinger.
When you look at the parade of sad sacks who have waved hello and goodbye since then, the likes of Ford, Carter, Reagan, the Bushes and Clintons, – they all seem to have simply ‘kept the seat warm’, as the real rulers of the land linked up, gamed the system, fixed all that peacenik bullshit and took over the media. That they are firmly in the driver’s seat today can hardly be more obvious – although millions would dispute this.
The joker’s turned up from the bottom of the deck – just the card you did not want to see. As a Master of Ceremonies Agent Orange isn’t that bad; he has quickly and effectively been shorn of many of those rash intentions which he proposed to an angry and eager electorate – but which went against the grand scheme of central planning for the Republic.
Trump’s done business with the mob on more than one occasion: he knows how real power works. And he’s survived it thus far.
All those replacements of heads of various despised government bodies – does that matter to the drones actually running the place? And you see what happens when a real blood-letting change is planned – like axing Obamacare. They back right down.
If something awkward does happen to the GGOG, as our host has deigned to name him, we’ll have the Funeral Director in the highest office. Appropriate enough: I can see him as a solemn and serious Master of Ceremonies as the Republic swirls round the drain.
,
Put me on the list that does not want the GGOG to go. Like Chris Hedges says, better an incompetent fascist than a competent one.
I think some twerp named Raskin is introducing this Bill into Congress:
U.S. Constitution – Article II, Section 4:
(Proposed Raskin Amendment)
The President, [] shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, other high Crimes and Misdemeanors, Beating Hillary, and Mean Tweets! Oh, and calling women fat, too!
Squeeky Fromm
Girl Reporter
If this is true then they are certainly desperate. I think that the greatest service that Mr. Trump has already performed for this nation is that he has clearly illustrated the fact that many of us had figured out already and that is that red or blue, ass or Dumbo, every single political scumbag in office today is just another sellout for personal profit, period! Those of us that are actually IN the system can see it clearly at every level of our “government” and there is absolutely NO chance of that ever changing. Garbage in equals garbage out. Watch it fail, there is no other option, the only question is when.
You nailed it. We proved that a complete idiot could be president in 2000. However, anyone with even the most simple of minds knew Darth Cheney was really running things while the idiot was a figurehead.
Now, we have the full on Idiocracy for ADD America. Whoo hoo! Go away…batin’.
Bernstein is a shmuck who was given the dope on Nixon by the deep state a true set up of a fine President run into the ground by the progressive leftist democrats. I returned from Vietnam in 1972 after being there 2 years and put the remainder of my active time into the Army reserves in trade for a year. I was a N.E. Ohio native serving in Vietnam and started out as a grunt and soon realized units were going home in Jan of 1970 when I arrived. It was called Vietnamization my 199th LIB pulled out in October. In May after a successful Cambodia invasion Oh Lordy all the equipment we found and base camps we destroyed I returned to Our Nam base camp to get a copy of the Stars and Stripes to see the Kent State NG Shooting. I about shit seeing how we were decimating the Cong and backing up to limit our involvement there. I can say one thing is that the protesters didn’t know shit about Vietnam. The democrats cut out funding per an Nixon agreement and millions of Asians died hundred of thousands executed to pay a blood oath. They never mention the good Nixon had done like the EPA, OSHA and other New Deal like acts. I was spit on in SFO catching a plane and that fucker got a fist in his face….Go Get Em TRUMP
trolleybill, while I voted for McGovern at the time, I think Nixon was one of the best presidents our country had. He was very smart on foreign policy and he was our last liberal president.
“…spit on”…
Good one; I’d use that again and again, if I was you.
My take exactly. 🙂
I don’t see how one can complain about Trump’s incivility in isolation.
The left and media have behaved like intellectual thugs for decades.
Any deviation whatsoever from the religious dogma of the State Religion, Progressivism, gets one labeled a racist or worse.
You bring to mind another excellent point my friend and that is that this nation itself was founded on the notion of incivility in the first place! The hell with the King, his taxes, his rules. The hell with marching in line into the cannon – let’s pick ’em off from behind the trees! The hell with European wars of profit, let us found our own country with our own rules. Well folks those days are over aren’t they and we can look all the way back to Woody Wilson and thank his sorry ass for setting us on a course that has led to us, the US being the next Kingdom with all of the “pomp and ceremony” and following the BS rules laid down by our celebrity kings. Yep, we’re toast. Bow down before NO man, the OLD American way. It is a shame we missed it.
We were founded on being citizens, not subjects.
Exactly, however it would appear that we have been subjugated once again have we not?
I’d say, not quite yet.
And only a few were qualified to be citizens. That was our saving grace. Opening up the hoi polloi insured our demise. Now we have illegals and dead people voting – the logical extension of letting welfare zombies vote.
“Now we have illegals and dead people voting – ”
And you obviously have incontrovertible (aka ‘real’) evidence for that…
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
(Joseph Goebbels, with whose cause you clearly, from most of your comments, have immense sympathy)
Trying to shame Janos isn’t an effective strategy. He has renounced it, along with the other components of decency:
“So farewel Hope, and with Hope farewel Fear,
Farewel Remorse: all Good to me is lost;
Evil be thou my Good; by thee at least
Divided Empire with Heav’ns King I hold
By thee, and more then half perhaps will reigne;
As Man ere long, and this new World shall know.”
— Paradise Lost, Book 4
Likewise, farewell shame, and the capacity to see himself as others see him.
I cannot for the life of me understand how or why people claim to have absolute faith in any of the systems, the institutions, or the procedures of mankind. The human race has absolutely NEVER in its history played fairly, squarely, or honestly. Lies, deceit, treachery for personal gain, personal advancement, or national conquest have been the modus opperandi since time was first kept track of. I suppose that fooling the masses with shiny objects, pretty colored lights, and happy, smiling faces has finally become the norm rather than the exception. Voting has always involved fraud, always. The only issue to be argued is whether or not there is enough of it during any particular election to actually affect the results.
“Oh, woe is me. Vanity, vanity, all is vanity.” Take a pill, Walter B. Who said anything about “absolute faith”? Human institutions are what we have. If we don’t have them, then what’s left is the law of the jungle. If the law of the jungle starts to seep through and displace the rule of law, that doesn’t change the fact that the rule of law is better. It just means we have work to do, don’t we?
Between absolute hope and absolute despair there stretches a wide landscape, called integrity. We can face one way, or the other. Turn around.
Sorry Elrond but the first step toward solving a problem is admitting that you have one. This happy, happy everything is ok horseshit breeds complacency and the inability to deal with reality.
Now, you’re talking. Can we pass over your post above as a moment of madness or dementia? Or terminal sentimentality for an America that has passed?
There is hope in the Proles if they are Alt-Right and lead by educated cadres.
I somewhat agree with you sentiment — certainly your historical perspective — but see a lot of folks still willing to fight for their country! I think a sleeping giant is finally awakening and the democrats as well as their propaganda arm (all Elites) still don’t get it . . . they are not running from the hornet’s nest, they’re kicking it and poking it because they truly cannot comprehend that it contains a surprisingly large number of pissed-off hornets.
I always thought we were trying to get out from under the bank of England. The tea party is a cute story for the simple, but really “taxation without representation” Isn’t that what we have now? And aren’t we under the grinding oppression of the banks again?
And I would thought his better opponent for the slam down was going to be a split-screen face with MSNBC’s awful Dworkinite propagandist Rachel MAddow and the CNN component: the snide and smarmy mug of that Smerconish chap.
Either way, just as in Mike Judge’s genius prophesy “Idiocracy,” championship wrestling makes it debut at the highest levels of America’s government.
Gov. Jesse Ventura is green with envy while Vince McMahon must be extremely proud.
The deep state hates Trump? Really? He has the obligatory Goldman Sachs scum in charge of the money. He has essentially given the MIC an open check book and free reign to do as it pleases. Maybe all these conspiracies about what and who is the deep state are off the mark, and the real deep state is as in control and loving every minute of it as they could have ever dreamed.
Exactly. Rather than drain the swamp, he’s further populated it with billionaire bankers, corporate welfare leeches, clueless anti-government power-grabbers, and hyper-militaristic asshats who see the world as a playground to be subjugated.
If this is how a swamp gets drained, I’ll opt for higher waders, nose plugs and more mosquito netting, please.
blockchain = airboat.
just saying
Got my miners running as we speak (type). Doing my part to break their backs and bury the fuckers.
Tired: “The deep state hates Trump? Really?”
What this country needs is an honest conversation about race – er, no, about LGBTQXYZ. No, no, I meant an honest conversation about welfare queens. Make that an honest conversation about the poison testosterone. Or is it the evils of masculinity? No, I mean Muslims! No wait, abortion. That’s it – an’ Gawd. ‘Cause freedom! ‘N guns!
Wayuk upp, shee-upple! Buy a RAM!
Apologies, Tired. Paid programming supervened.
I’m one of those idiots who didn’t want either Hillary or The Donald. On the other hand, I am as ready as I can be for this septic system of a country and socio-economic to eat itself already so that the frivolous, stupid shit from both end of the spectrum falls into obscurity, where it belongs. Then we can all grow up and deal with the serious shit we are facing.
Looks like the clown behind the wheel is doing a good job of flooring it over the cliff as cluelessly as possible, which I figured he would do. Hillary and crew would have been a slower death as her and her minions stole anything of value before hitting the cliff. Trump, inc is stealing it all too, just in a more reckless manner. At least from appearances.
Just real tired of the Trumpanzees and their endless devotion to this turd. The irony is their instant willingness to make fun of “Obamabots” with no ability whatsoever to look in the mirror is frightening. Lunatics litter the landscape. We are well past the point if no return.
You liked the Kenyan? You do realize that he’s deep state now though, right? I mean you don’t still like him, right?
Nope. Wasn’t an Obama fan. Hated the Rethugs that ran congress at the time too. That’s the part of the Trumpanzees that scare me. Even though your guy got in, you need to be cautious and watch what they do. These people are too stupid to catch on.
Don’t get your panties in a wad Janos. You might try not filling in the blanks with the story you want build so you can try to make a point.
“Lunatics litter the landscape.”
All the points made above were on point, most def.
But your luvly alliterative lick sums succintly.
Lunatics are the landscape.
Trump as President is sheer brilliance. The whole country is captivated by this clown moron, while the US continues to add to its mass murder score, which is over 20 million civilians murdered via terrorism since the burning and nuking of entire cities in Germany and Japan during WWII, all for the super rich criminal elites who run capitalism, and continuing unabated to this day. Every single day the US is murdering civilians in countries that refuse to spread ’em for the US. Why aren’t the US citizens marching on Washington, to pull those criminals out of their offices and down to the courthouse? Because they are watching the entertainment du jour, the twitter king himself, the newly installed Terrorist-in-Chief, Donald Trump. I’m ashamed to be an American – there’s no honor in it. It’s a nation of the morality-challenged, ruled by a criminal elite, dumb as mule shit (both the elites and the deplorable masses). Yes, I’m disgusted with the US, from top to bottom.
Spot on. Wish this blog allowed a thumbs up to posts. I would give you several.
Why not, Patrick? ‘Cause Freedumb!
Well said. Hitler threw the bankers out and put his people first. Trump is a very pale imitation. Hopefully a bit of Putin will rub off on him.
Uh,……the US? ‘Top to bottom’? How about the Rainbow Family of Light now encamped by the thousands w/o permit in National Forest maintained by tax payer monies. No national allegiance by them as well, just anarchist/nihilistic tropes — that is, pirates, essentially. Do you include them as among the ‘dumb as a mule’? Sounds to me you are the elitist.
We’re all of us dumb as mule shit for allowing the criminals to be in charge. They are robbing all living beings and the planet itself. I’m a dumb schmuck who went to Vietnam hoping to kill gooks. Can you imagine? Wanting to kill strangers? That’s one dumb fuck, right there.
That is a beautiful repentance, though. Right on.
I went to a couple of those in my youth: they are very serious about cleaning up after themselves. But yes, that many people in a few square miles isn’t sanitary – often getting good water was a problem. Sincere and Spiritual, but more than a little silly.
” Yes, I’m disgusted with the US, from top to bottom.”
Paddy,
The only bright spot being our richly diverse/minority population, yes?
(From a previous discussion)
USA!
There is no shame in being born into a corrupt system that does not represent you.
Whenever the conversation or my thoughts flow down these channels I always seem to pass through the area of bewilderment about how evil seems to always prevail and nice is obliterated.
~toktomi~
Our Fearless Leader will soon start posting videos of himself lighting his farts on fire.
What a moronic, juvenile dweeb. The rest of the world is laughing at us — not with us. Are we Great yet?
Young people don’t know what Watergate was.
Carl Bernstein is an aging gasbag. If this president is indeed “malignant” whatever that is supposed to mean, why hasn’t this ace investigative reporter actually, you know, investigated Donald and exposed all these malignancies?
Sending your son out to chichi parties to spread false rumors about a man’s wife is not how you “take down” a president.
This is the same man who with a straight face claimed that Hillary the candidate has “a lot to offer”, except of course for that little problem of lying about absolutely everything.
It made me wonder what, exactly he knows about what she has to offer, personally.
Beryl
“Why hasn’t this ace investigative reporter actually, you know, investigated Donald and exposed all these malignancies?”
Exactly. “Everyone knows” he is evil but when you look for specific details you don’t get a reply.
I followed an Ellrond link here, a few months ago, to a YT video of Pink Floyd, which (I think) used the phrase: “The resistance begins here”. I got into an argument with someone in the comments section.
“Trump is a racist” – Give me the evidence and I might change my mind.
“He insulted a disabled journalist” – I never bothered checking this but I told him I assumed the journalist had been annoying him.
“He assaults women” – I spent more than hour checking these claims out and none were plausible.
Ireland’s politically correct state broadcaster RTE had a short item on its televised news a few weeks ago where Trump accused the press (correctly) of peddling fake news. (Notice how they have tried to turn the phrase around to mean Trump’s own allegedly fake news.) To refute Trump’s insane claim and to reaffirm their own ideological credibility they then finished with a clip of Bob Woodward and his, “Mr President, the media is (sic) not fake news”. (By the way, is this ‘Mr President’ stuff supposed to convey gravitas?)
One of my favourite Richard Webster articles (Sceptical Essays website) is his two-part Flat Earth News essay about English journalist Nick Davies’s book about modern journalism. Webster uses the book as a starting point to look at the rise of campaigning journalism in early Victorian England, in particular the pioneer of the genre WT Stead. He sees modern campaigning journalism as being very dangerous in that it obviously continues the religious Puritan moralizing under a secular and ‘objective’ guise, even more dangerous for its not being recognized.
“In Nick Davies’ flat-earth version of journalism there is no history, and there appears to be virtually no psychology.
“Almost the only exception to this is when Davies describes the motives which led him into journalism in the first place. He does so in a passage which was quoted in the first part of this article but which bears visiting in the light of Stead’s philosophy of journalism.
“‘I’ve been a journalist for more than thirty years. In the year that I left university, 1974, Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward from the Washington Post forced US President Richard Nixon to resign. What an idea! That two reporters – armed with nothing more than their pens and their notebooks – could bring down the most powerful man in the world, because he was corrupt.
‘I became wholly addicted to the idea of becoming a reporter – I would travel the globe, I would take a front-row seat on history unfolding and, most of all, I would change the world.’
“The sentiments Nick Davies describes here, which, as noted before, concern both the desire to exercise political power and to crusade against corruption, are wholly in keeping with the philosophy of journalism worked out by Stead. But they have disappeared entirely from the portrait of journalism Davies draws in his book.
“Instead, as we read Flat Earth News, we are reassured endlessly, ,as we have seen, (with a kind of mechanical prayerfulness), that the main function of journalists is to establish the truth.”
Webster goes on to say that the real power of the press is to enable, or force, governments to be more controlling and does so by hiding crucial facts from the electorate, discouraging real understanding by promoting shallow debate and disseminating a simple-minded view of complex social and historical reality.
It took this from part 1.
http://www.richardwebster.net/jersey2.htm
Part 2 is on Webster’s website. It seems he never got round to writing the third part before his death.
And while I am at it, here is one of my favourite Webster quotes (from Part 1), having come to the same opinion myself via a different route:
“Having long ago come to the conclusion that we live within a collective fantasy, or set of collective delusions, and that the news media are one of the principle means by which we maintain this fantasy-version of reality…”
“A YT video of Pink Floyd”: That would have been Roger Waters, performing in the Zocalo in Mexico City. (Pink Floyd no longer exists.)
“Trump insulted a disabled journalist”: mocked him, actually, at a campaign rally.
“I never bothered checking this but I told him I assumed the journalist had been annoying him.” You should have checked, Mr. Coleman. You can see the video here:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/01/09/meryl-streep-was-right-donald-trump-did-mock-a-disabled-reporter/
The journalist in question, Serge Kovaleski, has a condition called arthrogryposis which causes his hands and fingers to be tightly curled in — he can’t straighten them. (Wikipedia: “Children born with one or more joint contractures have abnormal fibrosis of the muscle tissue causing muscle shortening, and therefore are unable to perform active extension and flexion in the affected joint or joints.”)
How did the journalist “annoy” Trump? Trump had made an unfounded claim, that “thousands of people celebrated” the destruction of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. At the time of the attacks, Mr. Kovaleski had reported in the Washington Post on “a number of people” being questioned by police after allegedly being seen celebrating on rooftops. However, Mr. Kovaleski disputed Trump’s claim that there were thousands, or even hundreds, of people. So yes, he annoyed Trump: by daring to correct him on the facts. He had, after all, made the original reports.
Ellrond
Exactly, he had annoyed Trump and Trump was getting his own back. It seems they have known each other for several years. The man I was arguing with was claiming (as I recall) that Trump mocks disabled people (because he is Bad).
“But there was one performance this year that stunned me,” Streep is reported to have said. “It sank its hook in my heart not because it was good. It was – there was nothing good about it, but it was effective, and it did its job. It made its intended audience laugh and show their teeth. It was that moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter, someone he outranked in privilege, power, and the capacity to fight back.”
This might be the case in an ideal world (that might read better as “in a world which was not cursed by idealists”) but it does not match reality. Who is being lined up for the chop here? Who has the privilege, power and capacity to fight back? whose teeth are bared? This is what sinks its hook into my heart.
What is Mr. Trump planning to do with the states’ voter registration, pray tell…….mhmmm.
Shhhhhhh that’s the real story.
With so many getting it, when will a crackdown become necessary?
Stop the illegals from voting. Sheeesh. You are way behind enemy lines.

Original Blues Lyrics by Squeeky Fromm
Aaaaah, I ain’t got no black snake now
Aaaaah, I ain’t got no black snake now

Mmm, mmm, black snake flopping in my car
Mmm, mmm, black snake flopping in my car
Some pretty mama get some ice, put it in a Mason jar!
Oh Lawdy! My Satiddy Night was cheap
Just paid my homey twenty bucks
Oh Lawdy! My Satiddy Night was cheap
Just paid my homey twenty bucks
I asked my baby to let me stay,
She say, “Why, what you good for now??? Aw shucks!*

Black snake, it wasn’t there again today

It was someone at Reddit who put CNN in the video. Donald merely retweeted it.
Now he’s being attacked for sending out a video created by someone not ideologically pure in every way.
No. He’s being attacked for behaving like a 13-year-old asshat when he is supposed to be focused on running the executive branch of the world’s wealthiest democracy.
No, go read the attacks I speak of.
He IS being attacked because of the lack of purity of the creator of the video.
The seconds it takes to retweet a video hardly prevent him from doing his job.
What an attitude to take and with a name like yours! You need to watch more MASH and read more Hunter Thompson. No doubt you would prefer a lisping Caligua to our merry Viking Chief.
Trump committed three sins.
Sin number one was merely venial and therefore forgivable: he had the temerity to run. No biggie, right? I mean so did Bernie, so did Jill.
Sin number two was much more than venial: he won the Republican nomination. That earned him political and social purgatory, the place where suffering is inflicted in the expiation of one’s offence.
If he had LOST the presidential election, the humiliation would have been seen as partial reparation. Even the contempt of former pretenders to the Throne, John McCain and Mitt Romney, would have subsided in the fullness of time.
But sin number three was nothing forgivable. It was mortal in nature, a transgression that earned him eternal damnation: Trump won the election. Compounding the iniquity was that he won fair and square by outsmarting Hillary and her brain trust and all that MONEY.
The worst of it is that Trump won by appealing to the rational self-interest of people that were pissed on by both Democrats and Republicans. Obviously, we can’t have that, the United States of America can’t have that, and neither can the world, which Americans like to think they run.
Now what? Well, you overturn the election, that’s what, and it starts with bogus accusations of Russian collusion and meddling thus de-legitimizing Trump’s victory and which serve to justify the eventual de-throning. They will say that Trump is gone because he should never have been there in the first place.
See, not only is Hillary incandescent with rage, so are Romney and McCain, especially McCain. All three look at Trump and say out loud “I should be sitting there.”
But those three are just emissaries, doers and fixers, the ones that structure laws that impoverish the poor and enrich the rich. The ones you have to watch are the ones behind the curtains, the rich. They buy and sell politicians and they have the ultimate say.
So, what do these movers and shakers say? Well, you could do worse than JHK suggests, listen to Carl Bernstein who just lays it all out, Trump is a tumor that must be excised.
There you have it boys ‘n’ girls, that’s what’s coming. As Cypher said to Neo, buckle your seatbelt Dorothy cause Kansas is goin’ bye-bye. And in this world of unintended consequences, like when you mess with election results, maybe Kansas and a whole lot more.
Now what? Well, you overturn the election, that’s what, and it starts with bogus accusations of Russian collusion and meddling thus de-legitimizing Trump’s victory and which serve to justify the eventual de-throning.
********************
But this is the paradox, removing Trump will only make him greater and more noble than he really is because he won’t have to deliver on all the grand promises he has made. As a matter of fact, he will get credit for NOT being able to able to do them because the blame will be placed on the people who stopped him.
Trump will then be greater than MLK and JFK combined.
And then theres all the shooting and bombing it may trigger?
Just sayin
Truth. They are playing with fire. Lenin was heard screaming at Trotsky for the murder of the Czar and his family because he knew it would make the incompetent Czar into a Saint. And that’s exactly what happened.
Why did he want the Czar made into a saint?
Why do you think he was incompetent?
No, that’s what Lenin was screaming at Trotsky about: that his rash action would create a reaction that would lead to a cult of the Czar.
The Czar was a nice man and would have done fine in normal times. But given what he was up against, only an extraordinary man could have guided Russia safely through the crisis. As it was, the Czar let his wife make a lot of the decisions – firing people she didn’t like or who didn’t like Rasputin. Rasputin himself often had good ideas like advising the Czar not to get involved in WW1. But he should have remained well behind the scenes and not publicly glorified like his wife was doing. Rasputin just didn’t get along with the Orthodox Priesthood since he was some kind of gnostic who used sex in his spiritual practice.

Three hundred and sixty days a year I like to offer a constructive critique of America to my fellow citizens, fulfilling one responsibility of living in a republic. Thank you JHK and commenters for your views, it’s been thought provoking and I appreciate your engagement in current affairs.
But this year I’m feeling more patriotic than usual; lighter and giddy with celebration, perhaps anticipating the coming wake. What the constitution and bill of rights of 1789 established was practical, grounded, and enlightened. A product of an American spirit, and a Spirit of Turtle Island.
The song “Yankee Doodle” begins to evoke this spirit:

As Ted Nace drew out in his book on the history of corporations in the United States, and 18th C England, “Gangs of America”, as generation succeeded generation in the USA, corporations were at first reviled and expelled, then tightly controlled, then allowed to gain more, and more, and more, and then more, and now all power. The phrase “inverted totalitarianism” is an apt description of how they run the world, they were never even controlled in Europe. Of course the worst among them are the banks; and it is to them we owe the debts, correct me if I’m wrong, that Kunstler expects to bring down the whole shebang, being to much to ever pay back. Thus have we trod the path from Freemen to mere wage slaves.
I celebrate the birth of the republic of our fathers, and their enlightenment; I mourn the muddleheaded confusion, the self-congratulatory individualism, the philosophy of convenience and comfort, the worship of the false idol of technology, the deep sleep of consensus consciousness, the complacent conformity of my generation, the babyboomers.
Tomorrow I’m going to drink beer, I’m going to stick a feather in my cap, and I’m going to call it macaroni.
Apparently it was a stillbirth.

Why Is the Alt-Right So Angry About Architecture?
Conservatives have long opposed Modernism, but in the video age, avant-garde buildings can become potent symbols in the hands of groups like Infowars and the NRA.
https://www.citylab.com/design/2017/07/why-is-the-alt-right-so-angry-about-architecture/532470/
Decrying what it sees as a war on white European culture, the alt-right movement calls out the people it believes stand opposed to freedom: feminists, antifascists, “cucks,” “SJWs” (social justice warriors), and President Trump’s Twitter-foe Rosie O’Donnell. Now you can add architects to the list.
On June 30, the far-right website Infowars posted a 15-minute-long video titled “Why modern architecture SUCKS.” This foray into design criticsim by Infowars—better known for pushing the ludicrous Pizzagate conspiracy and for host Alex Jones’ insistence that the Sandy Hook massacre was faked—comes on the heels of another video that turns well-known works of architecture into symbols of liberal decadence. I’m referring to the National Rifle Association’s “clenched fist” ad, which critics have called “chilling” and “an open call to violence.” …
Watson seems to have drunk deeply of the writing of James Howard Kunstler, the fiery retro-urbanist who wrote The Geography of Nowhere and whose TED talks Watson generously excerpts. Kunstler was an early influence on New Urbanism, and Watson touts many of the principles of that movement, extolling the virtues of neo-traditional architecture and of Poundbury, Prince Charles’ classicizing model town in southwest England. Watson also complains (correctly!) about restrictive zoning and makes a plug for mixed-use development, not seeming to realize that that is eminently compatible with large, contemporary-style buildings, and harder to find (and fund) in areas of low-rise houses, where he insists everyone wants to live.
The NRA’s ad, on the other hand, uses a somewhat different visual tactic. The spot is narrated by NRA spokesperson and talk-show pundit Dana Loesch, who lays out a series of charges against an unnamed “they” … We are never told who “they” are, but the shots make it clear: “They” are people in liberal L.A. and Chicago who swan about in fancy parks and buildings.

The CityLab website, operated by The Atlantic, is linking JHK with right-wing extremism and incitement of violence.
I thought, that can’t be fair, can it? Then I read today’s comments and chuckled at my own silliness. It’s completely fair.
Re incitement of violence:
So who’s still in the hospital, Mr Virtue?
Stick to healthcare.
Bernstein is a representative of the Deep State in DC, a left leaning conglomerate that is financed by groups that want to do damage to the USA. Trump knows this group, knows them well. He wants to stop the thirty year takeover of the country and knows that going along with the “gang”, acting as they want him to, will not stop the takeover. He won his “reward” by being obstinate to these groups, especially the press. Lo and behold, the populace responded and here we are.
Got news for you John the damage is done, and by both the right and left. Especially the Fourth and Fifth Amendments are null and void. Everybody has their personal letters, records, associations, and meetings recorded and stored by the NSA forever. Property is confiscated without due process and compensation on a massive scale every day. We are engaged in multiple, unwinnable, perpetual wars without Congressional approval. Banks run the financial system with no government oversight or control.
The Republic is done–over– and both right and left wing are complicit. People that get wrapped up into an “us v them” play the game the corrupt politicians want them to play, “If we could only get rid of those pesky commies/fascists everything would be OK.” Meanwhile the scumsuckers just keep on sucking the rights and wealth from the mass of fools.
“Lo and behold, the populace responded and here we are.”
Yes, here we are. Old gang out, new gang in.
But this gang will be much better, right?

I didn’t say aid and comfort, so don’t “use quotes”. If my remarks meant anything, it’s that I would welcome it if JHK distanced himself from the right-wing extremism that infests his commentariat more than he does.
Frankly, I don’t think he cares that much what people say under his byline. He said as much on one of his podcasts — though he was referring to the Facebook group about him more than here. Here at least he takes the time to reply occasionally and moderate/censor to an unknown extent.
You have no clue what free speech means.
Stalin was so paranoid he destroyed the evidence his enemies ever existed.

Huh? What’s that about free speech? People can say what they want. No one’s freedom is being infringed if I express an opinion of my own. Relax.
As for ‘Tory’: where I come from that’s a political party, and not one I would be a member of. But ITYM a Loyalist in the American revolution, in which case no again, as my forebears landed in Nova Scotia direct from the British Isles.

Speaking of Stalin it is also amusing to recall that of all the crimes he accused his hapless rivals and cronies of, no one was reportedly ever brought to trial for plotting assassination.
Don’t want to put any fresh ideas in their heads. presumably.
Has the Secret Service gone to sleep, by the way? All this talk in the media – some quite brazen – of popping the C-in-C has not been pursued and punished? I thought that was some sort of offense.
Well, yeah Thwack, but I never said that the movers and shakers were all that swift. Removing Trump by whatever means, even if there’s a surface shine of legality like a 25th amendment gambit, would only de-legitimize the coup plotters.
It won’t help to put on the TV screen a be-medalled army general as their public face, someone who was said to be dragged kicking and screaming into the role.
No, Thwack, even someone from the revered military, even an officer with impeccably a-political credentials, who put himself in harm’s way, who was grievously wounded in the service of his country, who strenuously professes to be disinterested in power, who insists that he is here only to serve the great American people, who laments that his only wish is to be at home with his family harvesting the crops, would start looking and sounding like a greasy Mexican generalissimo by the end of the CNN broadcast announcing the end of the Trump Presidency.
You’re right Thwack, the best course of action would be to respect the electoral verdict, to wait out the four years until 2020. But, as we all know, there’s the imperative of quarterly financial reporting, there’s the annual bonuses to be divvied up, there’s the multi-faceted frauds to sustain. Having Trump stinking up the joint could really cramp all this. So, it wouldn’t surprise you, I’m betting on removal or barring that, an attempted removal. We see it in play now as we speak.
“We’re coming to get ya now, with the deadliest move of all: the 25th amendment.” –JHK
I thought the deadliest amendment was the 2nd. Republican officials were publicly calling for “2nd amendment remedies” when we had an intelligent Black president. That was wrong. I am glad no Democratic officials have stooped that low regarding Trump. The 25th amendment will do nicely.

You’re both rather wrong. IMO this pro-wrestling tweet is a gross lapse of decorum — it’s just unimaginably childish. And I didn’t take delight in it. However, it presents a great opportunity for ridicule and comedy. It must be obvious from past blogs that I deplore the way that the news media has behaved, as well as the idiocy of the Democratic Left. –JHK
True, it lacked traditional decorum. But maybe traditional decorum is what got the country to where it is – the simple refusal to call something what it is and to heck with politeness, tact, and diplomacy.
One thing I like about you, is your use of the term “clusterfuck- nation.” Because while that lacks all sense of decorum, it exactly and perfectly fits the situation.

It seems people were a bit addicted to the Newspeak. They want the illusion and the affectations. Now we have a president who is throwing an anvil through big-brother’s silver curtain. It’s simple, it’s ugly, it’s shocking, it’s messy, but it is effective. He became president with a hat, a plane and a microphone after all. People are not accustomed to the truth, they are not ready for it. They want the platitudes with the assuagement. They want the calm mulatto telling them it’s OK, and that they’re better than “that” (with that being any presumed or expected reflexive life preserving instinct of the sane members of the populace).
Instinct proved too tough to beat. They chose might over flight. Ugly might. They balled-up a fist, and it’s swinging… madly.

Probably one unacknowledged reason for the Confederate defeat at Gettysburg was that General Lee lost intelligence, time, and partial control over his troops because the Rebels were busy pillaging Northern farms for food and forcing corpulent Pennsylvania Dutch women to bake them delicious breads, rolls, and pies, thereby, allowing Federal General Meade to get his Yankee troops into position?

Millard Fillmore? That’s the second time I’ve seen Millard Fillmore’s name in print in the last 3 days. The first time was in a book about early 18th century pirates. It seems Fillmore’s great grandfather was a pirate on the high seas during the final bloody violent decade of high stakes buccaneering, 1716-1726, serving with Ned Low after being shangheid off a captured merchant ship. Its a miracle he escaped hanging, as almost all of his shipmates, indeed all pirates, ended up on the gallows. They got ‘suspended sentences’ you might say, 4 ft off the ground. This Fillmore ended up buying a 50 acre farm near Norwich, CT, and is also somehow related to Teddy Roosevelts wife Edith Carow. I think all those 17, 18th and 19th century Americans were related to one another, descending from a relatively small group of English settlers in Virginia and Mass.

25 vs 2
The right of the Deep State unelected usurpers to arrange a palace coup and overthrow the Constitutionally elected President will run against the right of the people as provisioned by the Second, but not in the part to keep and bear Arms, but in the part of organizing a well regulated Militia and overthrowing the usurpers.
Calling for 25 = calling for Hot Civil War
Hmm, Robert Mueller is putting together a team of investigators with fluency in Russian and experience in fighting the mafia, organized crime, money laundering, financial crimes…etc. if Trump is innocent he has nothing to worry about and will testify under oath, where lying is perjury. I am confident Mueller (a Republican with a career in law enforcement) can clear Trump… or find evidence of Trump-Russia collusion and treasonous activity.
If Trump is innocent he will welcome this Republican law enfocement guy’s efforts to clear him of. collusion with Russia. Trump will not continue to block the work of Russian-fluent invesigators experienced in investigations of financial crime.
Perhaps his team has engaged the same geniuses who created Hilary’s reset button. We expect no less of the best and brightest.
I’m with you, Beryl. I voted for Trump for those same reasons and many more besides. The Muslim ban, the wall, deportation. I’m a legal immigrant whose family came to this country in ’57. I detest illegals.
“Let Mike Pence be the reincarnation of Herbert Hoover. This shit is not funny anymore…”
No, it isn’t funny, but Mike Pence ain’t no Herbie Hoover: he works hard, but like 45, he isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed either, and as ol’ Generaloberst Von Hammerstein warned us, that makes him doubly dangerous, especially as he’s one of the worst of your “Corn-Pone Nazis”.
I guess living in the age of consequences also means living in an age of shitty choices.This sucks.
I really enjoy your perspective – keep up te work!
TTYL
If the GOP had any patriotism, and any balls, they never would allow a Pence to run under their name. Pence became unfit for public office in this country when he said his 1st priority is his religion, his 2nd priority is his party, and his 3rd priority is the nation. Third priority? Fuck you Pence, get out, stay out, go back to hoosierville eat shit and die.
How can you put a party before the nation?
I musta missed that *tweet*!!! wHOLY f**
ggOg! heh, U got me there.
July 3rd: “Davis reported that “we were met by a heavy fire of grape, canister, and shell, which told sadly upon our ranks.” Hardest hit was the left-hand regiment, the 11th Mississippi, a veteran outfit that had been guarding trains and missed the brigade’s battering on Wednesday. The 11th paid its dues on Friday. The enemy’s fire, said Davis, “commanded our front and left with fatal effect. . . . ” The 11th Mississippi would lose 312 of its 592 men in Pickett’s Charge, and easily a third to a half that number fell before the Yankee artillery. 19 On the southern flank, meanwhile, the rise of ground that had largely shielded McGilvery’s reserve artillery position from Confederate eyes during the opening bombardment now served in its turn—for a time at least—to shield Pickett’s advancing infantry from McGilvery’s guns. As Kemper’s and Garnett’s and Armistead’s battle lines crested the rise, however, there was surely a moment of mutual surprise—5,830 Confederate marchers abruptly confronting a massed array of cannon none of them had suspected was there; and McGilvery’s gunners at last sighting the enemy’s infantry, marching not toward them but at an oblique angle past them, ideal for enfilade fire. As Colonel McGilvery explained it, the Rebel battle lines “presented an oblique front to the guns under my command, and by training the whole line of guns obliquely to the right, we had a raking fire through all three of these lines.” The reality behind that matter-of-fact recital was terrifying. McGilvery’s forty-one guns sent a torrent of fire raining down on the marchers. Like Osborn’s guns, their missiles were primarily solid shot, percussion shells, and case shot. “The execution of the fire must have been terrible” was McGilvery’s judgment. In the 53rd Virginia Captain Benjamin Farinholt watched as a single shell left a file of thirteen men “in a perfect mangled mass of flesh and blood indistinguishable one from the other.” One strike in the midst of the 56th Virginia, Garnett’s brigade, killed or wounded sixteen men. The color guard of the 11th Virginia in Kemper’s brigade was smothered in shell fragments; three times the flag went down, and three times it was rescued. “I tell you, the gaps we made were simply terrible,” wrote Yankee artillerist Edwin Dow. “But they closed up their lines, and closed up and closed them up. . . .” And they kept coming. 20 Pickett’s officers worked quickly to keep them coming. “Steady, men!” Dick Garnett called out in his commanding voice. “Close up! A little faster; not too fast! Save your strength!” Garnett, on horseback, was easily seen and widely obeyed. James Kemper, also mounted, calmly continued dressing his lines to the left as ordered. He would later admit that in the intensity of the moment he was oblivious of most everything except the needs of his own brigade. Lew Armistead, marching out ahead of his second line, ignoring the fire, continued to raise his sword high as a guide for the troops. General Pickett, from his position behind the advance, ranged back and forth to the best observation sites left and right, so he might better direct events. According to his orderly, Thomas Friend, Pickett “went as far as any Major General, commanding a division, ought to have gone, and farther.” As the division approached the Emmitsburg Road, staggering under the withering artillery fire,”
The conflict was the first “modern” war; fought with repeating small arms, aerial surveillance, trains for logistics, iron-clad warships, electric communications (telegraph.) Fought under leaders well schooled in Napoleonic era tactics. Hence the bloodiest engagement of the War Between The States and an abominable waste of valiant men.
4 July 1863, Vicksburg, Mississippi fell to a certain Maj General Ulysses S. Grant.
And around that time greenbacks were trusted…”Greenbacks were paper currency (printed in green on the back) issued by the United States during the American Civil War. They were in two forms: Demand Notes, issued in 1861–1862, and United States Notes issued in 1862–1865. They were legal tender by law, but were not backed by gold or silver, only the credibility of the U.S. government.[1]
Andrew Jackson killed the bank… Jackson then came through our state and then used us to kill the Creek… He then killed the bank.
After spending nearly twenty years in Europe, Payne returned to New York and the United States in 1832.[7] Friends arranged a benefit concert in New York to try to help him give him a stake.[8] He also toured the country with artist John James Audubon.[2] Payne developed a strong interest in the Cherokee Indians, whose fate had become a public issue. Acknowledged as one of the Five Civilized Tribes, they had developed self-government, a constitution, and written language, but they were under extreme pressure from the US government for removal to the trans-Mississippi West from the southeastern United States. Payne was taken by their story, and lobbied Congress against their removal.
Payne believed his research demonstrated that the Cherokee were one of the Ten Lost Tribes of ancient Israel.[2] Payne was reflecting historians and other researchers who still proposed this theory in the nineteenth century. It was at a time when historians tried to correlate their ideas with the Bible and classical texts, and were trying to fit the Native Americans into a biblical scheme of origin.[9] Some scholars criticized Payne for his refusal to accept that the Cherokee had their origins in North America. Others considered his work biased by his attempt to show the “Hebrew” origins of Cherokee religion. When coming upon elements he seemed to recognize from Judaism, rather than seeing these as organic forms that could have arisen independently in numerous religions (Eliade), Payne claimed they were derived from Judaism.[2]
Artillery fire was so thunderous the town’s people thought the end of the world was upon them as they cowered in their homes.
I’ve walked Pickett’s Charge, looking uphill at the line of Union cannon. Truth is, the cannons on that ridge today are about a fourth of what was there during the battle. It was suicide. Brave, but suicide.
Apparently, one advantage of a smooth bore musket is that you can shoot anything out of it, including rocks, nails, and even wads of tobacco.
It might have an advantage during the Collapse?
Puck,
Not an advantage…the advantage of the smooth bore musket was that it was not rifled with lands and grooves…at that time a very slow and cumbersome process…economy of manufacture…smooth bore muskets are VERY inaccurate.
Technology will cut down the Millennials like Federal artillery cut down Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg.
Did any LGBT soldiers die at Gettysburg?
Philosophical purist that he was, moreover, Jefferson considered the Norman Conquest to have tainted this English tradition with the taint of feudalism. “To the Whig historian,” writes Mayer, “the whole of English constitutional history since the Conquest was the story of a perpetual claim kept up by the English nation for a restoration of Saxon laws and the ancient rights guaranteed by those laws.”
If Jefferson begrudged the malign influence of the Normans on the natural law he so cherished, imagine how he’d view America’s contemporary cultural and political conquistadors—be they from Latin America, the Arabian Peninsula, and beyond—whose customs preclude natural rights and natural reason!
Naturally, Jefferson never entertained the folly that he was of immigrant stock. He considered the English settlers of America courageous conquerors, much like his Saxon forebears, to whom he compared them. To Jefferson, early Americans were the contemporary carriers of the Anglo-Saxon project.
The settlers spilt their own blood “in acquiring lands for their settlement,” he wrote with pride in “A Summary View of the Rights of British America.” “For themselves they fought, for themselves they conquered, and for themselves alone they have right to hold.” Thus, they were “entitled to govern those lands and themselves.”
Like it or not, Thomas Jefferson, author of The Declaration, was sired and inspired by the Anglo-Saxon tradition.

You’re a strange mix, Janos. Might makes right?
So weakness makes right? Sophia, this is the Devil’s Kingdom. If a nation isn’t strong here, it will lose everything. Do you really expect us to give this continent back to the Indians? Or Russia to give Siberia back to their Indians? The Church you say? The Western Church made an alliance with Rome, then the Franks, then the Normans – the baddest barbarians they could fine. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t be here. The Orthodox made similar alliance with the Bulgars and other groups I assume. And later the Cossacks. When the Jews were oppressing the Orthodox in the Ukraine with the permission of their Polish Lords, the Cossacks rode in and put an end to it.
But you are right: all this is not for you. Women need to stay out of politics since it’s too brutal for them for the most part. Most women would give our Civilization away just so they can morally grandstand. After the mass rape in Cologne, women came out proudly to support more Muslim immigration. Totally crazy.
That’s a tough call. Should men’s brutality be left unchecked? Are women any better, since they allow it? I think not, and I am disappointed in them.
The Native Americans were a tough group of nations, but they were in the stone age as compared to the Europeans who were in the Rifle age.
Just because they are not us…you condone the opportunistic genocide of them…just because we could.
Yeah, it’s the Devil’s Kingdom. Should we submit to that?
The Church?? Who ever gave a damn about that? Maybe the Orthodox did, as they converted the Alaskans without violence and translated the Bible into their language.
So far as I can see, Christianity has failed as a religion.
You really think there are more stupid women in politics than men?
Concert of Tina Turner dedicated to Obama’s victory in 2008
This concert, which was arranged by Prudential, was one of the strongest impressions in my life precisely because so much came together in it.
It was the day after the 69th birthday of Tina Turner, and tickets were given to me by a man whom I helped to win a lot of money on the EURJPY pair on the Election Day. So at the concert, I was surrounded by people who pretended that they were celebrating Tina Turner’s birthday, but in fact they celebrated the election of the first black US president, because they understood that for the open celebration of Obama’s victory Hillary would arrange a concert for them.
Everyone already knew that she would be Secretary of State and wondered who would write her a denunciation on the others (Hillary was a New York State senator and head of her future 2016 campaign Podesta controlled Prudential with an iron hand).
I must say that the racial factor played a role, but not the one that everyone thinks:
it was the blackness of President Obama that prevented Hillary from trying to ruin him from the first day, as she was ruining Donald Trump from day one.

Canada to apologize, pay former Gitmo prisoner Omar Khadr
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/canada-apologize-pay-gitmo-prisoner-omar-khadr-48428847
The Canadian government is going to apologize and give millions to a former Guantanamo Bay prisoner who pleaded guilty to killing a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan when he was 15, with Canada’s Supreme Court later ruling that officials had interrogated him under “oppressive circumstances.”
An official familiar with the deal said Tuesday that Omar Khadr will receive 10.5 million Canadian dollars (US$8 million). The official was not authorized to discuss the deal publicly before the announcement and spoke on condition of anonymity. The government and Khadr’s lawyers negotiated the deal last month.
The Canadian-born Khadr was 15 when he was captured by U.S. troops following a firefight at a suspected al-Qaida compound in Afghanistan that resulted in the death of an American special forces medic, U.S. Army Sgt. First Class Christopher Speer. Khadr, who was suspected of throwing the grenade that killed Speer, was taken to Guantanamo and ultimately charged with war crimes by a military commission.
He pleaded guilty in 2010 to charges that included murder and was sentenced to eight years plus the time he had already spent in custody. He returned to Canada two years later to serve the remainder of his sentence and was released in May 2015 pending an appeal of his guilty plea, which he said was made under duress.
Omar Khadr spent 10 years in Guantanamo Bay. His case received international attention after some dubbed him a child soldier.
Canadian taxpayers (and especially any Canadian Forces members over in Shitholistan – supposedly mission ended in 2011 – or other Southwest Asia theatres of operations) should be thrilled with the news.
http://www.forces.gc.ca/fr/operations-etranger-actuelles/op-impact.page
A “Canadian” fighting for the Taliban comes back to a hero’s welcome and a princely sum. Wow. How about a Military Cross – er make that a Military Crescent – for a job well done.
I suspect the ruling will encourage lots more “Canadians” to head “over there” to fight for Caliph and Umma and to try and kill as many infidels as possible; maybe even get an opportunity for shaheed. Although $10,000,000.00 Cdn is plenty incentive to get captured by some NATO troops and then sue the corresponding government for maltreatment. NO need to be working for a signatory to any stupid kafir Geneva Conventions.
I can see taxes are going to have to go up including GST, QST and the new JST (that’s the Jizya Sales Tax dhimmi.)
Now can American state government’s learn from this to increase some revenue flow?
That’s one point of view. A different view was offered by General Roméo Dallaire, on the occasion of Khadr’s release:
“Omar Khadr is free at last on bail. The treatment of Omar Khadr as a terrorist and not as a child soldier was wrong. Despite the efforts of many concerned Canadians, human rights advocates and child protection experts, Omar continued to languish in prison cell after prison cell. Yesterday, the upholding of Omar’s bail decision is a reminder of the importance of the judicial branch of our government, which upheld the rule of law. [emphasis added]
“It is crucial to keep in mind that Omar Khadr is a victim in all of this. Recruited at 13 years old, then shot and taken prisoner two years later, the story of Omar Khadr has been nothing if not infuriating. As a child, Khadr was forced to move to Afghanistan and join al-Qaeda by his father. It is believed that during a raid on Khadr’s compound, the 15-year-old threw a grenade, killing Sergeant Christopher Speer, a Delta Force strategic forces soldier and medic. Eight years later, he pleaded guilty under duress.
“But over the past decade, Khadr’s rights have been violated time and again. From the very beginning, he has been denied the right to due process and a fair trial, the right to protection from torture and — perhaps most appallingly — the rights stemming from the Convention on the Rights of the Child.
“International law and norms, which Canada is signatory to, are put in place so as to protect those children who are unscrupulously used as weapons of war [emphasis added] and to hold those who recruit and use them to account. It is not Omar who was the threat, but those who recruit young girls and boys to fight their wars for them who are the greatest threat. Omar deserves the chance to be educated, to be loved, and to be forgiven, just as hundreds of thousands of other child soldiers around the world who have received rehabilitation funded by the Canadian government.
“Yesterday, despite the horrific treatment exacted upon Omar for the past 13 years, he walked out and declared, ‘there is nothing I can do about the past, but there is something I can do about the future.’ Yes Omar, there is so much you can do to shape your future positively and let us hope that you are ‘free at last’.
“Sincerely,
“LGen, the Hon. Roméo Dallaire (Ret’d), Founder of the Roméo Dallaire Child Soldiers Initiative”
I’m sure you and the general can have a fruitful discussion about this one day. I report, you decide.
At a time when a young Hillary, under the clatter of Khrushchev’s shoe on the UN podium, was confidently burning the hearts of her classmates with a verb, editing the school’s newspaper (and not even suspecting about Bill’s existence), married Tina was just beginning to timidly sow shoots of Eternal Good in the minds of the electorate of the Citadel of Democracy…
It is possible that Hillary even then was already a well-formed personality, which at 27 years forced President Nixon and his Detente to go to the dustbin of History, and this year of 2017 from the Birth of Christ almost finish off the 2000 years of development of our civilization.

Obama warned Trump, in their last transition meeting, about the danger of North Korea. On Trump’s watch, while Trump has been Twittering about Mika, North Korea has conducted a dozen missile launch tests. Trump has done nothing. Now North Korea has 10,000 km ICBMs capable of reaching New York. Happy July 4th … until Trump destroys America.
Fear not. Eric and Don, Jr will soon be back from their latest African safari and face down the midget monster with their elephant guns. Meanwhile, Trump will keep the midget surrounded with a picket line of creative tweets.
In addition to the rather humiliating failures on the Russian (Syrian) and Chinese (Korean) directions, the new American administration has faced a real holiday of disobedience in the European Union and even Canada.
Even on such trivial issues as the prices of Canadian timber, dairy products and steel, Trump failed to achieve the cooperation of the Government of Canada, and the growing trade conflict threatens the oldest American neocolonial structure – the North American Free Trade Association.
http://www.foxbusiness.com/features/2017/06/26/u-s-ramps-up-lumber-trade-spat-with-canada.html
In these circumstances, the Trump administration faces the task of ending a series of painful diplomatic failures; hence, the need for some agreement on the Syrian issue becomes more acute than ever.
In the case of Trump, the situation is greatly complicated by the fact that any informal contact of his team with the Russian president’s entourage will immediately be used by that part of the US intelligence services that remained faithful to Hillary Clinton, and then the fact of contact will be used to discredit Trump in the American media.
We must pay tribute to the American administration, which found an elegant way out of the impasse: a 94-year-old (!) Henry Kissinger was sent to Moscow, which even the most rabid Russophobes of the American media sphere will not dare criticize.
Since Kissinger’s visit to Moscow goes according to the scheme “everyone understands everything, but can not officially say”, the American media do not write about another “black mark”, but they emphasize that Kissinger once did a similar service to another American president – Richard Nixon.

Tontoenelvalle:
The story begins in St. Petersburg during the early 19th century. A group of young officers were sitting up all night, all of them gambling, except one, called Hermann. Hermann was fascinated by the games, but never played. Another officer, Tomsky, then told the story of his grandmother, a Countess, who in her youth loved to gamble, but nearly lost everything in a high-stakes game in Paris. Desperately, she went to the mysterious Count St. Germain, from whom she somehow learned to predict three cards to play in succession. She had only used this secret knowledge twice in the past: to save herself, and then several years later to help a young gambler. Hermann was fascinated by this story, and began to wonder if he could learn the Countess’s secret himself.
The Countess, meanwhile, was now an old woman in her eighties. She was capricious, spoiled, greedy, and lost in dreams of the past. She had adopted a poor orphan, a young woman named Lizaveta Ivanovna. Unbeknownst to the Countess, Lizaveta had started to fall in love with a young officer. She had first noticed the young man standing outside the Countess’s house for several days, and had gradually they developed a silent connection. Soon they were exchanging love letters. After a few weeks, Lizaveta wrote to her suitor, telling him how he could get into the Countess’s house and meet her secretly. This officer was none other than Hermann. Unfortunately, Hermann was not really in love with Lizaveta. When he had discovered the Countess’s house and saw the young woman in the window, he decided use Lizaveta to get closer to the old woman’s secret.
The secret? It wa the new missile test carried out by North Korea on July 4 has changed the overall framework of relations between North Korea and the United States along with the regional security situation, Director of Russia’s Asian Strategy at the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Economics and expert on Korean Peninsula issues, Georgy Toloraya, said in an interview with TASS on Tuesday.
“That’s very serious,” he said when asked about the importance of North Korea’s latest missile launch. “It changes the actual picture in relations between the US and North Korea. North Korea can currently reach the territory of Alaska, possibly, Hawaii and the US Pacific Coast. In addition to that, this test launch changes everything in relations between the two countries and in regional security.”

North Korean missile launch poses no threat to Russia— Defense Ministry
According to the Russian expert, after the launch one can state that Pyongyang has acquired nuclear deterrence means. “The seriousness of this event is that North Korea apparently used a new type of carrier, an intercontinental ballistic missile, which means that Pyongyang has acquired a nuclear deterrent against the US,” he said.
Toloraya emphasized that the date for testing a new missile carrier was chosen as a deliberate signal. “The fact that it was done on July 4 as a gift to the US on its Independence Day and the fact that Russian and Chinese leaders Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping are holding discussions in Moscow today on issues related to North Korea, makes one suggest that [North Korean leader] Kim Jong-un does not want to take anyone’s interests into account and will act of his own free will emphasizing his complete independence from the global centers of power.”
A Nation without elites is ALWAYS a cattle and a herd
If the Russians will not have their own national elites (rich and powerful), we are doomed. Remember: everything is garbage (economy, foreign policy, etc.). The most important thing is what is inside the person and the Nation. Their spirit. Their inner strength. Their ability to self-organize, mobilize and fight.
If the Russians will have our own national elites, we’ll fuck the whole world, and then we’ll fuck the Alpha Centauri!
If such elites do not appear, in one or two generations Russia will become a colony. Because a nation without elites is ALWAY a cattle and a herd. The presence of strong and developed national elites is a sign of a highly developed society. Only under the guidance of their elites, society is able to effectively equip its life and achieve victories in clashes with other Nations.
On this glorious fourth, a comment.
There are many serious issues facing our republic…many existential. There are many on this site that can offer common-sense solutions to those problems…and common sense dictates that none of those solutions will be implemented.
There is a law that I would love to see implemented…it will cure not all of our issues, but would address many.
I would like to see, as a prerequisite for elected public office at the federal level, a requirement that a candidate have served a minimum of four years in the United States military…active duty, no exceptions.
Our elected officials need some skin in the fight….
Something like that was suggested I think by Robert Heinlein in one of his novels, Starship Troopers I think.
Another alternative is to bring back the draft. Sweating it out in the service gives you the full complement of citizenship rights. But if you manage to evade service, then while you may still be a legal resident of the US, your citizenship rights are limited ie no vote, no running for elected office anywhere not even for dog-catcher. Also, companies will have the right to check whether you’ve done your service and they will have the right to deny employment to evaders.
As you say, skin in the fight…

Well said. Classic National Socialism and Great Man theory of History. A repudiation of Marxism which states that only the economy matters – even worse than Freud who reduced everything to sex.
“This shit is not funny anymore.” JHK
Indeed it is not, and I think most of you are missing the point. Bernstein uses a particular word, “malignant” and perhaps with purpose.
If you believe in the psychology of malignant narcissism, part of the Dark Triad of personality disorders, the BIC (buffoon in charge) behavior makes perfect sense. And it ain’t funny, not at all.
MNs focus 100% of their effort on getting your attention, positive or negative, they don’t care. Extremely self-centered, extremely entitled, extremely exploitative, and vindictive. Narcissism is always in the extremes.
A dead giveaway that extreme narcissists use to cover their insecurities: Putdowns. Like the schoolyard bully who beats people up to feel stronger, extreme narcissists hurl insults when they feel threatened; they name call, insult, denigrate. It’s not clever and it’s not mature.
Narcissists have poor self esteem, but are typically very successful. They feel entitled; they are self-important. They crave admiration and lack empathy. They are also exploitative and envious. The malignant types never forget a slight. They may kill you 10 years after you cut them off in traffic, but they will appear perfectly normal while plotting their revenge. Hidden away, they are bubbling with a rage of Vesuvian proportions.
Everything they do is deniable. They will violate your boundaries, undermine, demean, criticize, denigrate, make you look crazy, gaslight you. They are extremely envious, extreme liars, have to be the center of attention at all times, manipulative, especially of others’ emotions, selfish, self absorbed, and willful, insanely defensive and sensitive to criticism, infantile and petty, shameless, exploitative, never wrong, lack (genuine) empathy. As a last resort they will appear pathetic to garner sympathy.
Watch, observe, but don’t react to them. Observe, but don’t absorb what they say. Quote from George Bernard Shaw: “I learned long ago never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and besides, the pig likes it.”
Ground yourself in reality, what is, not what you wish it to be. Everyone hopes for a rescuer, but an MN is the complete opposite of a rescuer. The only thing they sow is chaos. Their only agenda is getting attention.
It would be interesting to see what would happen if the MSM ignored all those tweets. That’s the one good thing about MNs, and why it may (arguably) be best to leave as is: they are entirely and utterly predictable.

People got tattoos of Bernie Sanders. Those tattoos are burning like fire now.
Jane probably got a tattoo of Jane Sanders. Feel the burn, Jane.
Ah, yes, the immediate assumption that I’m “for the other team” based on a single post. Also predictable.
Yet another perfect example of why this isn’t funny. And how incredibly useless it is to assume the only options are red or blue, socialism or capitalism.
Thanks for getting the colors right. Making Conservatives red and Democrats blue was a classic mind fuck, probably thought up by the Tavistock Institute.
Blue is a cool conservative color. Red is a primitive color, the color that primitive creatures see, the lowest in the spectrum. And of course, the color of blood which Communism loves to shed.
“a requirement that a candidate have served a minimum of four years in the United States military…active duty, no exceptions.” –elysiandreamer
My uncle served as a quartermaster and never saw combat. I assume you mean active combat duty? I would add the service be as a platoon leader on the front line … under fire… from the enemy in front … or from fragging in back … and that their children be required to do exactly the same kind of service.
Janet, Citizen by birth, Marine by choice. Semper Fi!
Janet,
Your uncle, the quartermaster, also served. An honorable discharge is just that…honorable. Combat not necessary.

Since today is the 4th, I wrote a song just for the Democrats and Leftist who probably cringe at God Bless the USA, and Yankee Doodle Dandy.
We Hate America!
A Fourth of July Song for Democrats and Leftists
By Squeeky Fromm, Girl Reporter
To The Tune of God Bless America
We hate America!
‘Cause its sooo white!
And the Founders-
They were bounders!
They had slaves!
They were knaves every one!!!
All the trannies, and the lezzies
And the homos, all in drag—
We hate America
Let’s burn the flag!
We hate America!
Let’s burn the flag!

Yes, Thwack, that includes women. Why shouldn’t it? If you claim equal rights then you bear equal responsibilities including the risk of getting your ass shot off.
But I repeat myself
(louder this time)
YOU TRYIN TO GET ME KILLED?
The first time a woman jumps out a truck in full combat gear her ankle is gonna blow out…
You know this?
It takes 3 women to do what one man does; combat is already risky enough, why are you trying to make it worse?
This ain’t tee-vee
Thwack,
There are many more jobs in the military than 11Bravo. Women should not face combat for a variety of reasons…350,000+ women were in the military in WWII…no combat roles.
Janet opined that she was a BAM…hard to believe considering her many virulently negative posts regarding military personnel.
Just thinkin’
“Women should not face combat for a variety of reasons…”
******************
the WTF are they doing voting?
Blacks want those jobs that women used to do. Sheeit! They have no patriotism and don’t feel like risking their lives for America.

Thomas Merton described “The Unspeakable” as a Void of accountability and responsibility.
“For many years we have known that invisible forces have run our government from behind the scenes — not just in Washington, but also in state houses and municipalities. For many years, most of us were willing to go along or to continue to work within the socially acceptable political process as small groups of other people acted “above the law” at increasingly greater harm in terms of human life, environment, and personal health and wealth, throughout America and the world.
The list of presidents, congressman, senators, mayors, government officials, soldiers, journalists, activists and honest business and civic leaders who have been assassinated, “suicided,” poisoned, falsely slandered and framed, entrapped, or dirty tricked in rigged elections is long and growing. The allegations of control file operations that depend on pedophilia, financial fraud, and organized crime also increase. The number of dual-passport citizens within the Congress and our federal bureaucracy calls into question just who is in charge and whose national interests direct our military. We have the senate minority leader declaring on national television that the President is not in charge – he must do what the intelligence agencies tell him. The governance questions are profound.
Money and violence are the heart of these issues. The United States has spent $14 trillion on global wars over the last 30 years because Congress finances war and because Congress tolerates illegal and unconstitutional financial practices at the US Department of Defense and US Treasury. In 2015, the DOD alone was missing $6.5 trillion in undocumentable adjustments. Even now the US Treasury cannot produce audited financial statements for the US Government, as required by law, and has not produced accurate and understandable place-based financial reporting.”
“In 2015, the DOD alone was missing $6.5 trillion in undocumentable adjustments.” Pucker quoting Thomas Merton
Merton was prescient … given that he died decades ago, he was very accurate about the military theft of 2015. The military promotes a culture of rape. The military is a corrupt institution that feeds on civilian money and civilian lives. The military depends on breaking down men and indoctrinating them into yes-men robots … “sir, yes sir!” The military should be abolished.
Janet,
Marine by choice, my ass….
You disrespect those in uniform on July 4th. FU.
janet
I was also 8 years active duty in the Cold War Silent Service and did sea duty for 5.5 years of it. My job was cool. Only much later in life did I realize I served a criminal imperialist regime. I’ve NEVER gone around letting everybody know I was in the Navy,,, as you do with your claim of, ” … Marine by choice. Semper Fi.”
I’ve never met ANY self-proclaimed “Marine” who writes and thinks as you do.
In YOUR case, janet, NOBODY here believes you served in the U.S. Marines. *IF*, somehow, you actually DID serve in the Marines, you were accepted SOLELY to satisfy EEOC (Affirmative Action) diktats. You may have worn the uniform but, you were never a U.S. Marine in your heart. Non Fidelis.
I dunno whether janet was a Marine or not. That said, “You were never a true Marine in your heart” is the No True Scotsman fallacy. Playing games with definitions to reach your preferred conclusion is not a good look.
As for affirmative action, I can’t get the link right now but last week I posted about a study that concluded quotas can improve job performance — by weeding out inadequate candidates who happen to be white and male. Did you read it?
Elrond, you’re just as guilty as I am alleged to be.
The, “No True Scotsman,” claim IS VALID because it appeals to what Scotsmen are noted for. NOT in what actually is achieved. What’s judged about the True Scotsman is which direction he was headed if by chance he failed.
Studies and statistics rate right up there with lies and damned lies and you know that. Nobody with half a memory would believe any post hoc revisionist study that claims Affirmative Action has been a positive change overall.
On the flip side, yeah, hypothetically I can envision how one or two REMOTE cases can happen where a talented Black Man can be passed up for a job just so somebody’s dim-witted White nephew can get the position. I lived in Alabama and have seen the nepotism in action. In their eyes, a Floridian is just as bad as a Damn Yankee.
However, and as usual, only YOU and JANET would stretch an exception and make it the rule.
All of that is correct, but Merton would throw the White Race away with the Government (or the Nation away with the Country). He was a classic Leftist, a Wordy and Worldly Monk, and a Hermit who couldn’t stop talking. A very gifted man no doubt, but I don’t care for his politics or his Catholicism.

We must pay tribute to the American administration, which found an elegant way out of the impasse: a 94-year-old (!) Henry Kissinger was sent to Moscow
On the other hand, sending a 94-year old Kissinger emphasises the lack of qualified professionals in the area of global governance when we need them the most. Can’t send an old ketchup-money Kerry, can you?
Lack of social lifts in action!

On this July 4th I honor war hero retired Major General Smedley Butler, the most decorated Marine. Semper Fi!
“War is just a racket. A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small inside group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses.
I believe in adequate defense at the coastline and nothing else. If a nation comes over here to fight, then we’ll fight. The trouble with America is that when the dollar only earns 6 percent over here, then it gets restless and goes overseas to get 100 percent. Then the flag follows the dollar and the soldiers follow the flag.
I wouldn’t go to war again as I have done to protect some lousy investment of the bankers. There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.
There isn’t a trick in the racketeering bag that the military gang is blind to. It has its “finger men” to point out enemies, its “muscle men” to destroy enemies, its “brain men” to plan war preparations, and a “Big Boss” Super-Nationalistic-Capitalism.
It may seem odd for me, a military man to adopt such a comparison. Truthfulness compels me to. I spent thirty- three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country’s most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle- man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism.
I suspected I was just part of a racket at the time. Now I am sure of it. Like all the members of the military profession, I never had a thought of my own until I left the service. My mental faculties remained in suspended animation while I obeyed the orders of higher-ups. This is typical with everyone in the military service.
I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912 (where have I heard that name before?). I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested.
During those years, I had, as the boys in the back room would say, a swell racket. Looking back on it, I feel that I could have given Al Capone a few hints. The best he could do was to operate his racket in three districts. I operated on three continents.
War is a racket. It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes. So, I say, To hell with war!”
–Smedley Butler
““North Korea has just launched another missile. Does this guy have anything better to do with his life?” Trump asked.
Trump has a point. Instead of tweeting about celebrities, Trump-style, North Korea has developed 10,000 km ICBMs on Trump’s watch, launching a dozen missiles under his nose to show the world that Trump is an idiot showman and a paper tiger.
Trump has no previous government experience, no military experience, and no backbone. Trump has experience bankrupting businesses and that is where we are headed as Trump colludes with Russia to destroy America, starting with coddling both Russia and North Korea.
Behold an ICBM and ordinance capable North Korea, rushed into demonstration by the NETWORK globalists, but not before the previously planned neutralization of the United States Armed Forces, destruction of the domestic means of production, destruction of national borders, and suspension of the Bill of Rights, all previously well advanced by NETWORK globalist design.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4665438/Trump-calls-emergency-meeting-North-Korea-missile.html
In the old republic, NETWORK globalists have enjoyed the use of Deep State assets and Congressional funding in a multidimensional game of chance, strategizing, tactics, financing, contracting, manufacturing, employing, deploying, importing, exporting, abstraction, distraction, propaganda, conquest, destruction, death, influence peddling, bribery, extortion, kickbacks, racketeering, treason, sedition, and corruption, and are expressing deep disappointment in the loss of assets Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch, James Comey, John Brennan and viewership/subscription to CNN, Washington Post, and New York Times.
And those defeated are the compromised assets complicit in the NETWORK globalist agenda.

Rule of Nothing.
In any given political situation, the best outcome one can reasonably expect generally happens when politicians do nothing.
Implied Corollary #1: When politicians attempt to fix any problem, they are highly likely to make matters worse.
Corollary #2: Politicians almost never do nothing. This explains the present state of the healthcare system, education system, public pension system, Congressional Expenditure Approval of $8 Trillion over the preceding 16 years on the means of destruction, Deep State expansion, and the conquests of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen.

When General Lee’s Confederate Army crossed into the North, the hungry Rebels became distracted by pilfering food and kidnapping escaped negro slaves. The Rebel soldiers identified the black slaves as being very valuable. Today people do not consider black people as being “valuable”. As horrible as it may sound, it may be that if you want the Elite to value the people, then you have to turn people into commodities rather than commodifying their labor on a per hour incremental basis? Otherwise….
The Rebel soldiers identified the black slaves as being very valuable.
****************
Yes Pucker, but
but,
the value of a slave was still based on what they could DO.
Nobody wanted old, sick, blind, toothless slaves.
Whats interesting to me is the skill set some of these slaves had. If you read some of the advertisements for slaves, they not only list several sought after skills for each slave, but what LANGUAGES they speak.
So Im thinking it generated this weird paradox where an owner wanted his slave to become smarter (the ability to do more things) but not so smart that he didn’t want to be a slave?
Back in January, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said that his country was close to testing an ICBM. President Donald Trump promised that it wouldn’t happen, which could raise the pressure on the administration to do something beyond tweeting out words of disapproval.
And that’s what’s important to keep in mind: no matter what Trump has said, or the pressure the US, China, and others try to place on North Korea, Kim continues to test missiles that could harm America and its allies.
This was not the kind of projectile Americans are used to hearing about on July 4th.
A missile that could hit the USA represents continued progress by the North Koreans on their missile program and the achievement of a goal that President Trump had said in January “won’t happen.” Surprise!
We were conned by Trump and he has no idea how to govern or how to protect the USA. Instead Trump is using the presidency to enrich his family and extend his brand worldwide.
Trump does not care about the destruction of America and is he is powerless to stop North Korea’s nuclear ICBM threat to the USA.
Y’all elected an idiot and you will suffer the consequences. I will be observing as an expat.
The habit of the South Korean media to fabricate the utter nonsense about their northern neighbor has been superimposed by the technical illiteracy of their correspondents.
It’s no secret that the South Korean media with enviable consistency report the most ridiculous, illogical and even anecdotal rumors about the events taking place in the N. Korea, but this time Seoul has clearly overdone it.
In particular, the data on the altitude and range of the flight of the new North Korean Hwaseon-14 missile is rather strange. South Korean agency “Renhap” reported that the above-mentioned missile overcame a distance of 933 km, while having reached three times the height – 2802 km.
The takeoff of the intercontinental ballistic missile “Hwaseon-14” to an altitude of 2802 km, as insisted by South Korean media, lacks not only technical but also a simple logical explanation.
For additional clarity, it is necessary to take into account that the height of the orbit of the International Space Station is 400 km from the Earth’s surface.
And finally, the data published by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation show that on July 4 the rocket launched from the territory of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea rose to a height of 535 km and fell in the central part of the Sea of Japan, 510 km from the launch point.
Based on these data, it is clear that Pyongyang tested medium-range ballistic missile and NOT ICBM
The News this morning asked, “Why didn’t the United States shoot it down?”. Isn’t that like hitting a bullet with a bullet? What if we missed – and the missile hit North Korea? Or is that the idea?
Well, first off the glorious THAAD system is not aimed to protect S. Korea from N. Korean missiles, but aimed against China and Russia.
US currently simply has no assets to shoot down N. Korean missiles.

Weather ups and downs: why it’s time to stock up on food
While Moscow and Madrid are flooded with showers, in Portugal, Bulgaria, Serbia, the Crimea stands a 113-degree heat. While in Portugal forests burn by the hectares, in Belgrade on the sewer hatches people fry eggs. These “spoofs” of public consciousness still overshadow the real and global consequences of such weather anomalies. However, in such a course of events, in a few years the emerging problems will rise to a full height.
If we talk directly about the causes of more and more serious natural cataclysms every year, then we must say honestly – in fact, no one knows exactly why the weather jumps every year become more severe. And all these arguments about “global warming” or about “global cooling” are worthless, since humanity does not have the necessary factual base of temperature regimes in different regions of the world more than for the last two centuries. And this – just a hundred times less than necessary for any approximately accurate assessment of what is happening and the alignment of the relevant versions and ad-hoc hypotheses. This is not even a notorious “statistical error”.
It is necessary to understand that all this talk about a “global warming” or “global cooling” is actually nothing more than an attempt to create a mechanism for the withdrawal of climatic rent by certain world media-power clans from controlled territories and businesses. Or more simply it is the milking of the suckers.
Accordingly, in fact, we can only talk about two things. First, either the influence of the anthropogenic factor in the face of sharply increased human activity on the seizure of natural resources and the disruption of natural balances of the “injection” of resources from the thermonuclear core of the earth (oil, gas, gold, non-ferrous metals, coal, ore, etc.), and nature is trying to stop the destruction of this balance by a blind trial and error method and restore the dynamic equilibrium destroyed by man.
Alternatively, option B, such factors that we do not know about (even the “reptilians of the world government” have no clue) began to influence the Earth, or are hidden from us (for example, the notorious Nibiru or the approaching black hole). And they hide it because the promulgation of these facts will immediately reveal a real, not artificially constructed by the Media agenda of the life of mankind (the “Matrix”).
The fact is that such weather jumps make agriculture extremely unstable on a planetary scale, and investments in agricultural production are very risky. The situation is such that we can not predict the weather and even more so manage it. If the weather pattern of recent years continues, the problem of gathering sufficient crop for the human consumption will become very relevant.
The attempt of its capitalist solution – through the increase of prices by speculators – has no long-term prospects for solution, since sooner or later social tensions and riots of the population will force governments to curb speculators and resort to socialist practice of regulating the prices of basic foodstuffs, and take the food market under strict state control.
And not at the level of national governments, as someone might think, but at the level of the global authorized body, to which the relevant powers, including power of using force, will be delegated, and which can redistribute food surpluses from one country or region to another without the resistance of national governments in order to maintain global stability.
When I was hitting a “Submit” on that post, the house was shaken by a weak, but very noticeable earthquake.
You don’t know your own strength.
Are there really thermonuclear goings on at the Earth’s core? It’s interesting that the fiery, molten, liquid metal core is only a few thousand miles below our feet.
May be not nuclear fusion, but nuclear fission for sure:
Nuclear Fission Confirmed as Source of More than Half of Earth’s Heat
https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/nuclear-fission-confirmed-as-source-of-more-than-half-of-earths-heat/
There’s a whole world down there: Pellucidar. Read the novels by Edgar R Burroughs. The core is a sun at the centre of that world. The Horizon goes Up there. Admiral Byrd sailed into it by accident once at the opening near the North Pole. It started getting warm as the outer Sun set and the inner Sun rose. Or was this some kind of spiritual analogy? Read Rene Daumal’s “The Ascent of Mt Analogue”.
I read all the Pellucidar books – great reads if you’re into science fantasy. At the time ERB wrote the series, serious consideration was given to the theory that there was a polar opening to the Earth’s interior that ended in a hollow part of the Earth.
Yes, a wonderful dream. But obeying the canons of good fantasy and fairy tales: self consistency.
On Independence Day, we are reminded of our great traditions, of diversity, the “melting pot” that is our nation. Land of the free, home of the slave. I mean brave. The “let ’em all in Left” loves him.

Um well Thwack, no, I’m not trying to get you killed and yeah it ain’t TV. But it’s like our friend Elysianfields said. There’s lots and lots of things to do in the military besides rifleman.
The US military (the Pentagon) is the largest government bureaucracy in the world. So large it loses Billions of dollars in theft, fraud, and corruption that auditors cannot account for. If you love Big Government, you love the military.
I love Big Government for human welfare as mandated by the Constitution, not for the purpose of kidnapping, torture, rape, and killing done by military and intelligence “services”.
I want spending priorities to be changed away from military spending to spending on health, civilian non-defense employment, education, infrastructure, etc.
The founders never wanted a standing national army. We should abolish the military to free up Trillions of dollars, Billions of which have disappeared down the department of “defense” rat hole. Eliminate the largest government bureacracy and we will have a better chance of accounting for our taxes.
“not for the purpose of kidnapping, torture, rape, and killing done by military and intelligence “services”.”
Janet,
…and now you impugn our military personnel
…and this only a day after the celebrations!
There’s lots and lots of things to do in the military besides rifleman.

Dan Martin speaks: “That’s a hell of a lot of seconds, thirds and fourths I’ve got in the Tour De France in the past two or three years now,” says the man who came second on the stage and is now fourth on GC. “This is not about confidence, it’s about calmness. I’m just enjoying my racing, I’m feeling no pressure at all. I’m just enjoying riding the Tour de France. The team’s on a real roll and I’ve got some of the best riders around me to support me.” He also congratulates Fabio Aru on a great ride and says the finish line came too early for him.
I remember lots of criticism of Obama … but strange silence about Trump tweeting not governing.
Of 155 days as president, Trump spent 55 days at Trump properties, 36 days playing golf at Trump golf courses. How do you like it now gentlemen?
Trumpcare will kill 20,000 people a year by 2025.
Through summer of 2016, ISIL had killed 1200 people outside Syria and Iraq, i.e. in Europe and elsewhere in South Asia and the Middle East.
That is, Trumpcare is 20 times more dangerous in the West than the terror threat of ISIL.
Trump has deeply endangered US national security by making us a laughingstock and reducing by orders of magnitude the likelihood that any other powers will partner with us in world affairs. The US needs allies and partners, but Trump has told them to jump in a lake, and anyway they can see how flaky he is. Imagine him calling up Emmanuel Macron in France and asking him to join in a military operation! Yet George H. W. Bush was able to call up the Socialist president of France, Francois Mitterand, and convince him to join in the Gulf War to rescue little Kuwait from the clutches of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. When a president now cannot do things on the world stage a president could do only 27 years ago, that is a sign of deep and worrisome decline.

The main enemy of the United States
US foreign policy is in a state of chaos, as the dominant US elite, becoming a victim of its own propaganda, is unable to articulate its goals, including President Donald Trump, opposing the so-called US establishment.
In particular, the greatest secret of the United States is that the term “deterrence” implies depriving the USSR, and now Russia, of the ability to inflict “unacceptable damage” on the US after the latter have dealt a disarming strike on Russia. That is why the deployment of short-range missiles in Turkey, in no way could gave contained the USSR, but quite the opposite was a provocation that forced the Soviet leadership to activate the Anadyr operation (the secret deployment of nuclear missiles in Cuba).
Now it is even difficult to imagine what tricks the Cold War proponents have been playing to present plans for an attack on the USSR as “reflecting Russian aggression”, what myths they invented, what secrets leaked to the press! And now, when the great chess board turned 180 degrees, even military experts use these myths to analyze the current situation, forgetting that this is an old propaganda, and not an adequate description of the situation 40 years ago.
According to one of these legends, the American Civil Defense was intended to convince Khrushchev-Brezhnev that the US would use nuclear weapons if columns of Soviet tanks rush to the Channel, as tests of the 15-megaton Thermonuclear Castle Bravo at Bikini Atoll in March 1954 showed that if the 15-megaton charge explodes in Washington, then everyone would die in this glorious city at once, and in Philadelphia and New York at a distance of 200 and 350 kilometers respectively in one hour.
Current experts consider plans to win a nuclear war completely insane, but President Kennedy at least knew where the legs grew from, and when Soviet nuclear missiles showed up in Cuba, he immediately ordered the preparation of the evacuation of nuclear missiles from Turkey, without waiting for the appearance of Adjubei, who allegedly saved the world from a nuclear war by transferring Kennedy’s proposals to Khrushchev.
http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/americas-insane-plan-survive-soviet-nuclear-attack-21399
And modern experts over the past 30 years have convinced the American people that they do not have to be afraid of a bomb, since Russian red button can be taken away and dismantled as was dismantled the USSR without any explosions in Washington due to the lack of a finger in the Russian elite pressing the corresponding button. And Russia in its new military doctrine makes it clear that the United States has long passed the red line that can not be crossed while communicating with a nuclear power and now Russia will have to prove the presence of a finger by its direct combat use.
But American experts will not say it, as well as the fact that the best guarantee of the security of the Baltic republics and Poland is the strict implementation of the agreement on transit to the Kaliningrad region, and if it is violated, American soldiers on the Polish-Lithuanian border is another reason for getting hit with a nuclear fist on the Polish-Lithuanian muzzle, and not a security guarantee.
After all of that, you never get around to the Ultimate Deterrent to prevent Washington from pulling such a stunt against Russia.

Serious Finca, didn’t Putin just let it slip that the luxury bunkers of the ZOG-NATO elites are targeted? We should hope he has a more comprehensive plan than just that. A deterrent is effective when the targets are made aware of it and realize that they have NO protection from Putin’s angels of death!
Finca, I’m sure you have connections to Putin’s inner circle. I’ll be happy to advise him on matters like this and help develop a response algorithm and rules of engagement for his elite assassins.
Trump is destroying America one child at a time. Trump has literally taken away the right to clean water. He is fine if it is full of mercury (a nerve poison released by burning coal) and lead (which causes permanent damage to IQ and attention span in children).
Not to mention that he is trying to roll back limitations on toxic carbon dioxide emissions, which because it is a greenhouse gas, are poisoning our planet. Climate change could reduce GDP by 3% a year and plunge the US into a permanent Great Recession. It will hit Texas and the southeast especially hard.
Trump would like to kill America’s scientific and technological advantages in the world by slashing funding for science and science research, reducing us to a fourth world country. What a con that MAGA BS.
“Janet” is clearly suffering from TDS – Trump Derangement Syndrome
Tump is Hitler!
Trump raped Godzilla!
Trump eats baby dolphins for breakfast!!!!
Look Janet, “we get it” alright?
Now,
will please step away from the keyboard and go soak your face in a bowl of ice water?
If you have a stroke, Trump wins.
One imagines the mantra repeated endlessly day after day by tens of thousands of similarly disturbed types.
To what end? Such tension requires release.
This does not end well.
Agree. Trump is the very last thing to which we should be paying attention.
At last we have a president who isn’t afraid to use the dignity of the office to express his disdain for the “fake news”. The take down of the man representing CNN simply shows the disdain the real people of this country feel for the “fake news”. These enlightened citizens are well equipped to appreciate this video since it is presented in a format that they are comfortable with, and that they understand. They don’t need no hi-falutin’ books or news articles to understand what’s going on. The high rates of pay and retirement benefits along with the general prosperity found in the south, are a testimonial to the inherent wisdom of the voters. After all, they voted for “W” twice. The only surprise is why it took so long for the rest of the country to appreciate and understand what’s really going on. I have no fear for the fate of this country as long as the good citizens of Trump country are alert and informed. Those of you who really understand the truth know exactly what I’m talking about.
They’re going after the guy who made the video. Some say he’s just a kid too. Don’t know. They especially don’t like that he pointed out that CNN is almost all Jews. He’s one of us. Freedom of the Press is a White, Western kind of thing after all.
Pressing on peoples freedom is a White, Western kind of thing after too.
Just sayin
Just sayin what? All races and nations are capable of force. Only Whites seem capable of freedom. Maybe some of the Asians after contact with us acting as a catalyst.
Racists are the biggest collectivists on the planet. They not only demand your money and your labor; but they want control of your penis too.
What kind of freedom is that?
You aren’t part of our Collective so it’s not really an issue. There is no Freedom apart from the Law. Blacks are very “individualized” (although remarkably alike) They do whatever they want when they want. Maybe that explains their low level of culture.
Racists are robots, with reductive, materialistic, ant like personalities; whom if given enough time, eventually start eating each other.
Maybe that explains their fear and insecurity?
Yeah Black High School kids make fun of White proms as lame – yet they still insist on going. Like Dogs, you all can’t stand to be left out of anything. I mean you have so little of your own…. And you do want to drag us down by getting at our women so it all makes sense. It’s not all good, but it all makes sense. Clearly we must get away from you people.
“Clearly we must get away from you people.”

Janos, it seems to me you can’t have it both ways. White people, who love and understand freedom, and were Christian with Matthew 25 to read, went and took slaves from Africa, and now you want to get away from them?
Those white men were stupid. Short term thinking.
I agree homogeneous societies do better. But it’s too late for that now.

I’m tempted to buy a book about Lincoln, but I suspect that there’s a lot of propaganda and misinformation about Lincoln?
Puck,
You know, he was a “racist”…. A product of his time, and all that other horseshit.
Lincoln appears to have had Marfan Syndrome. I understand that there may be a link between Marfan Syndrome and mental illness?
“Lincoln was contemporaneously described as suffering from “melancholy,” a condition which modern mental health professionals would characterize as clinical depression.[32]”
My grad school prof in the early 70’s Bell Wiley said he got kicked in the head by a mule early on and that had an effect.
I thought he was just black?
Lincoln and his friend were attacked and almost killed by Black river pirates when he was a young man.
Getting kicked in the head by that mule changed him from a Democrat to a Republican.
To the true believers crying that any criticism of Trump is TDS, I say it is not TDS to recognize Trump’s approach to a free press — which smacks of authoritarianism — his not so subtle misogyny, and his perversion of what was once respected conservative ideology: He has turned everything into a platform for self-promotion that draws its strength from our country’s darkest angels.
Trump should be removed from office using the 25th amendment … because his tweets show he lacks empathy, impulse control, and self discipline … which makes him mentally unfit to be president

“Chapter 8 uncovers one of the most important negative consequences of the war: the death of states’ rights and, particularly, of the founding fathers’ notion of “divided sovereignty.” This idea, which is often associated with James Madison, was that the federal government could not be trusted to be the arbiter of what limits would be placed on its own powers. The citizens of the free and independent states, as sovereigns, were to have that role under the original Constitution. This ended in 1865, after which the federal government, through the Supreme Court, would decide what limits would be placed on its own powers. Not surprisingly, it has decided that there are, in essence, no limits at all, just as the founders warned. Throughout the twentieth century all the worst tyrants in the world would attack the idea of states’ rights and divided sovereignty and champion the cause of consolidated or centralized government.”
“Lincoln Unmasked”, Thomas DiLorenzo
“For most of his adult life, before jumping to the Republicans, Lincoln was a member of the Whig Party—the party of the moneyed elite in America. He was a wealthy trial lawyer who married into an affluent, slave-owning Kentucky family, the Todds. As a prominent railroad industry attorney he was a consummate political insider in Northern big business circles.”
“Lincoln Unmasked”, Thomas DiLorenzo
That the US Constitution would even remotely contemplate that the central government could legally wage war against the states and kill 750,000 men with over a million wounded—Isn’t this very proposition absurd on its face?
July 6th:
“In his July 6, 1852, eulogy to Henry Clay, delivered in Springfield, Illinois, Lincoln approvingly quoted Clay’s statement that “there is a moral fitness in the idea of returning to Africa her children,” which would supposedly be “a signal blessing to that most unfortunate region.” He first proposed deporting American blacks to Liberia in an 1854 speech in Peoria, Illinois. On June 26, 1857, as an aside while commenting on the Dred Scott decision, Lincoln offered another reason why he favored colonization: “There is a natural disgust in the minds of nearly all white people, to the idea of an indiscriminate amalgamation of the white and black races.…” 7 He voiced such opinions throughout his entire adult life. Such views were consistent with the views of the vast majority of white people in the North. During his administration Lincoln allocated funds to found a colony of American blacks in Haiti, but the crooked businessman Bernard Koch, who was chosen to be the “governor” of the colony, embezzled most of the federally appropriated funds.”
He first proposed deporting American blacks to Liberia in an 1854 speech in Peoria, Illinois.

Theater, all theater I tell ya.
White people were never serious about giving up their black people. That would be like asking them to give up their dogs, or their horses, or their guns…
Y’all can’t even give up mexicans who only been here 20 years…?
I think we all tend to forget how good black people were under slavery?
We had good manners, we all had jobs, we were polite and courteous to white people, hyper Christian, completely self sufficient.
No back talk, no stink eye….
Every white man a Master; every white woman a Madame…?
In other words, we created heaven on Earth for you people. There ain’t no way white people were gonna voluntarily give that up?

It was voluntary unfortunately. And Blacks were by and large never serious about “freedom”. But some went to Liberia: they conquered the natives and enslaved them. One would think that of all people, they would know better than any the evils of slavery. But such a One doesn’t know Blacks. Goodness always takes second place to power and revenge with them.
Western Colored Projects
Medieval sects that are actively operating in our time are not abstraction and not literature, but life, but for me they are not concrete people, but ideas that guide people I know, or rather not ideas, but the image of the world that attracts them, a world that they would build by defeating their opponents on a global scale.
And at some point I needed a name for these images and I called them Red, White and Black projects in accordance with the symbols that they have been using for the last 600 years.
And such ideas – let’s call them World Projects – they are like living beings: they are born, grow, gain strength and maturity, fall in love with other ideas, have children with them, grow old and die.
Ioan Petru Culianu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ioan_Petru_Culianu built a system for analyzing these relationships, which makes it possible to trace the related links of these ideas, their genetics, describing it in the book “The Tree of Gnosis”. In particular, having made a genetic analysis of what Pierre Plantar called the Priory of Zion, he came to the conclusion that this esoteric community leads its ancestry not from Mani, and not from Zoroaster, but from the intellectual circle surrounding Origen.
Culianu was engaged in the origin of Masonic lodges, which undividedly ruled the world after the collapse of the world communist system. However, the world communist system is also a kind of Masonic lodge, which grew out of the Vagant, as described by Lev Ginzburg.
Culianu was shot in bathroom of the divinity school, Swift Hall, of the University of Chicago in 1991. Or rather executed, and in the most shameful way. He was sitting on the toilet, and someone went into the next booth, stood on the toilet and shot him in the head.
Obviously Culianu revealed something in his books that he promised to keep in secret. However, these are my guesses, but in his book he explores the Masons based on the history of their ideas, pushing to the second or even the third, fourth plan how they shake hands, or what statues they install in their lodges.
By the way in New York then on the corner of Prince & Mercer there was a gallery exclusively dedicated to the Gnostic art, where it was possible to see authentic Pre-Raphaelites or even a wooden sculpture of the Merry Baphomet of the 13th century. And the work of our contemporaries in it according to their artistic level was quite in line with the medieval laughter culture.
It was in this gallery that you could meet Leo Castelli, who created the pop art, which stopped the cultural offensive of the USSR in Europe and the US after the crushing defeat of the United States in Vietnam, and it is believed that it was not Leo Castelli who was the cultural support of Hillary Clinton and Henry Kissinger, but Hillary and Henry were the muscle behind Leo Castelli. In any case, it was what Stanley Kubrick thought – it is enough to recall the head of the lodge, shown in the erotic thriller “Eyes Wide Shut”.
Pierre Plantar considers the event known in Western historiography as “Cutting of the elm” the reason for the disintegration of Priory of Zion into Black and White World projects.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_of_the_elm
Well, and the Red Project is what comes out of the works of Lev Ginzburg.
America is again standing up for traditional values — “family, freedom, country, God” –Donald Trump
Let’s take them one at a time:
FAMILY: best means to indoctrinate children and transmit by example values like militarism, patrotism, misogyny, domestic violence, etc.
FREEDOM: a word used to justify war and militarism. Not used when it comes to having an abortion, using a restroom corresponding to your gender identity, using psychodelic drugs. Freedom to work, vote, build a mosque, or drink requires permission and proper papers. Freedom is a sham.
COUNTRY: (or nation, if you are pointy-headed enough to think there is a dime’s worth of difference)
A way to divide people, create borders to invade and fight over, and justify militarism as “defense”
GOD: an invisible non-existent being who blesses all kinds of nonsense, including militarism and all the restrictions on freedom.
The so-called “traditional” values of “advanced” western countries justified slavery, imperialism, manifest destiny, the holocaust, world wars, and capitalist consumerism. Traditional values destroyed 100 million lives in the 20th century (mostly white-on-white western violence). Traditional values got us into the mess we are in today.
When Gandhi was asked: “What Do You Think of Western Civilization?”

Then he carefully lifted his caftan, squatted, and took a huge smelly dump right in the middle of the street.

Look,
these clowns had almost 70 years to come to some kind of arrangement/agreement with the Norks; but instead of doing that, you gave em the finger.
Now that they are gaining the ability to snap that finger off and leave you with a bloody stub, you wanna claim its a “crisis?”
Nawh ni66a,
you played yourself.
and so did the japs.
If the U.S attacks the Norks, maybe the Sorks will turn their guns on round eye instead of each other?
Just sayin
“japs” is a racist term. For an allegedly Black person you use a lot of derogatory terms.
Janet,
For an alleged Marine, you don’t.
In a system of racism white supremacy, “black” is a derogatory term too; thats why no one wants to be one, including yourself.
So stop calling me black you pink biscuit.
The civil rights and Black power movements left behind terms like African, colored and Negro.
We are actually all mixed-race, even elysianfield and janos. That is the real reason janos is afraid to do the genetic dna test to see his African ancestry.
Mixed with what?
If so, why are you so desperate to mix the races? And to get rid of Whites if we are already mixed and/or don’t exist?
Janos: “If so, why are you so desperate to mix the races? And to get rid of Whites if we are already mixed and/or don’t exist?”
Here’s an illustration of why reasoned discourse with Janos is impossible:
“If everything you’ve shown us is true…”
“True? Of course it’s true.”
“…then we don’t stand a whelk’s chance in a supernova.”
“A what?” said Arthur sharply again. He had been following the conversation doggedly up to this point, and was keen not to lose the thread now.
“A whelk’s chance in a supernova,” repeated Ford without losing momentum. “The…”
“What’s a whelk got to do with a supernova?” said Arthur.
“It doesn’t,” said Ford levelly, “stand a chance in one.”
He paused to see if the matter was now cleared up. The freshly puzzled looks clambering across Arthur’s face told him that it wasn’t.
“A supernova,” said Ford as quickly and as clearly as he could, “is a star which explodes at almost half the speed of light and burns with the brightness of a billion suns and then collapses as a super-heavy neutron star. It’s a star which burns up other stars, got it? Nothing stands a chance in a supernova.”
“I see,” said Arthur.
“The…”
“So why a whelk particularly?”
“Why not a whelk? Doesn’t matter.”
Arthur accepted this, and Ford continued, picking up his early fierce momentum as best he could.
“The point is,” he said, “that people like you and me, Slartibartfast, and Arthur — particularly and especially Arthur — are just dilletantes, eccentrics, layabouts, fartarounds, if you like.”
Slartibartfast frowned, partly in puzzlement and partly in umbrage. He started to speak.
“— …” is as far as he got.
“We’re not obsessed by anything, you see,” insisted Ford.
“…”
“And that’s the deciding factor. We can’t win against obsession. They care, we don’t. They win.”
“I care about lots of things,” said Slartibartfast, his voice trembling partly with annoyance, but partly also with uncertainty.
“Such as?”
“Well,” said the old man, “life, the Universe. Everything, really. Fjords.”
“Would you die for them?”
“Fjords?” blinked Slartibartfast in surprise. “No.”
“Well then.”
“Wouldn’t see the point, to be honest.”
“And I still can’t see the connection,” said Arthur, “with whelks.”
Ford could feel the conversation slipping out of his control, and refused to be sidetracked by anything at this point.
“The point is,” he hissed, “that we are not obsessive people, and we don’t stand a chance against …”
“Except for your sudden obsession with whelks,” pursued Arthur, “which I still haven’t understood.”
“Will you please leave whelks out of it?”
“I will if you will,” said Arthur. “You brought the subject up.”
“It was an error,” said Ford, “forget them. The point is this.”
He leant forward and rested his forehead on the tips of his fingers.
“What was I talking about?” he said wearily.
— Douglas Adams
Here’s your secret decoder ring: Whelks = Janos’ irrational obsession with interracial sex. No matter how you try to keep the discussion on track, he’ll keep reading it back in. He can stay insane longer than you can keep on point.
“Whelks = Janos’ irrational obsession with interracial sex.”
Elrond,
Janos may have an obsession with interracial sex, but why is it irrational?
So why a whelk particularly?”
“Why not a whelk? Doesn’t matter.”
Arthur accepted this, and Ford continued, picking up his early fierce momentum as best he could.
“The point is,” he said, “that people like you and me, Slartibartfast, and Arthur — particularly and especially Arthur — are just dilletantes, eccentrics, layabouts, fartarounds, if you like.”
Slartibartfast frowned, partly in puzzlement and partly in umbrage. He started to speak.
“— …” is as far as he got.
“We’re not obsessed by anything, you see,” insisted Ford.
“Why not a welk? Doesn’t matter. I would never say that about inter-racial sex. It does matter. Nor would I pretend that I’m not a fanatic. Unlike Ford, who is portrayed as a fanatic but about nothing and pretending not to be, I admit I’m a fanatic and know exactly what I’m fanatical about. Quite a difference.
Think the Jews would have conquered Palestine and gotten their people there with British troops there to support them without fanaticism? Or Atom Bomb developed? Or the Internet? Or the Cathedrals built? Or the ceiling of the Sistine Chapter? Everything great, be it for good or evil, is accomplished by “fanaticism” so called. Think it was easy for the Liberals to overthrow our Civilization? You’ve worked very hard to contribute to that, but you enjoy it so much that it often doesn’t seem like work to you. Lucky dube, Evil Man.
In other words, we’re the same except I’m good and you’re evil. You think the same of me. Mirror images. But I can see it and you cannot. Therefore I am greater psychologically and of course morally and metaphysically as per the contents of my fanaticism compared to yours.
That’s what they teach them in college now, that the races don’t actually exist.
A Jew female calling a Black man, “racist.”
LOL! That’s rich.
thwack, don’t you DARE let janet get away with that!
As a child I had one of those inflatable punching clowns with sand in the bottom of it. Every time you hit it, it would fall over, and then come right back up for another punch.

And besides,
I would never hit a woman with a baseball bat.
Well, ladies and germs;
The BBC on it’s US site this AM, reported that Vlad Putin issued a warning today to the United States to keep it’s hands off Alaska or face consequences.
Correction!
The BBC on it’s US site this AM reported that Donald Trump issued a warning to Russia today to keep it’s hands off of Ukraine, or face consequences….
WTF?
Trump: Russia should join “the fight against common enemies and in defence of civilisation itself”.
Translation: Trump wants Russia to take Berlin, second time in the last 75 years.
How about you take Berlin this time, and we’ll send you some canned meat and canned corn dubbed “Second Front” during WWII?
Actually, both “Second Front” canned meat and canned corn were of exceptional quality! Thank you.
Finc,
Your “thank you” graciously accepted. Gives truth to the statement…From each according to his ability…to each…ahhh, you know the rest.
Against Islam I assume, as he made clear in his Poland speech. This time it will be for the Good of all and not for the horrible Communism your dad was involved in.
The old layout of the “Viking civilization against the Sacred Roman Empire of the German Nation” is getting formed.
And no one officially sees it. And the fact that this alignment has already been implemented many times, no one sees.
Too many smokescreens. No one gives away their negotiating positions, not to the public, that’s for sure.
For Russia, the support of the US is more profitable than the rapid strengthening of the EU, London and China due to the collapse of the US sphere of influence.
It is better to make this disintegration long, manageable and to intercept the initiative, as was done in Syria.
The G-20 summit in Hamburg, in fact, has already taken place
It remains only to announce the decisions already taken, in particular the announcement of the Third (and in fact the Fourth) World War, but this will not be done. There, in Hamburg, of course something will be announced. And I will announce the most important things:
1. Most important: Angela Merkel in the anticipation of the summit has acknowledged the existence of Trump’s America, which is quite different from America, whose president, not without the help of the Fourth Reich of Angela Merkel (and in fact Helmut Kohl) was to become Hillary Clinton.
2. This America is not a friend of the Fourth Reich.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-apos-america-apos-no-095839330.html
3. It was Trump who insisted on meeting with Putin, apparently in order to probe the possibility of Russia’s participation in the Third (Fourth) World War and in general the restoration of cordial relationship.
4. And I would not be surprised if Putin suggests the restoration of the Lend-Lease program, naturally deploying it in the opposite direction. 🙂

“these clowns had almost 70 years to come to some kind of arrangement/agreement with the Norks” –thwackthepink
45 says something shlould be done, but being an illegitimate president, he can’t convince anyone to do anything, and he said he doesn’t draw red lines. Coddle coddle. Appeasement. DPRK gets ICBMs to use against the USA on Trump’s watch.
Zero chance of a ZUSA attack on valiant plucky little Korea…..nothing in it for the bloodthirsty jooies and their american satrap. The destruction of the ME is the goal, allowing an unimpeded expansion of the vile izzies……..
I miss “the dispatches”….
The US Civil War, at least as it applied to black people, was a bit of a wasteful exercise since it didn’t alter the labor equation, right? Negro slaves were imported to pick the cotton before the Civil War, and blacks were still needed to pick the cotton after the Civil War. No amount of Force can alter the equation 2 + 2 = 4. Right?
US policy under Bill Clinton was to give up on blacks viewing blacks as hopeless and to instead import Mexicans and Central Americans to do the work. Hillary Clinton as the quintessential “Yankee” views the white heterosexual working class as “Deplorables”.
In the movie “Thunderball”, James Bond bones 4 white women, and he doesn’t use a condom. Julian Assange didn’t use a rubber in Sweden for consensual sex, and, as a result, was charged with rape.
Obama did nothing about it” –DJT
Nice try, Donald, but Obama did apply sanctions to Russia, shut down their compounds in Maryland and DC, kicked out their spies. So Trump is lying again.
More importantly, Mr. Trump, Obama is not president, you are. What are YOU going to do about it?
When the young Hitler saw the German troops marching to War, he fell on his knees and thanked God to have lived at such a time.
As the Bhagavad Gita says, “And considering your duty also you ought not to falter, because there is no greater good fortune for a Ksyatria (warrior caste) than a righteous battle.
And happy, O Partha, are the Ksyartrias who get such a battle, which has come of its own accord, and is an open gateway to heaven.”
Chapter 2, verses 31 and 32
Om (aka AUM)
Janos, you are taking a metaphor and you are interpreting it literally. In the battlefield of life, we all are warriors. The message of the Gita is appropriate and useful for everyone who wants to become a divine warrior, not a racist skinhead.
Symbolically, Kurukshetra represents the field (kshetra), otherwise known as the body, the earth, Nature and world itself. These four aspects of our material existence have one thing in common: they are subject to the modification of the gunas.
The body is a battlefield, in which the gunas wage a constant struggle for their predominance. It manifests in us as a conflict between good and evil intentions and between pure and impure thoughts.
It is not about Hitler, or racial purity, or killing others in war on an actual physical battlefield.
Yes, the Bhagavad Gita is for all four castes, not just the Warriors. Arjuna was a Warrior though – and this is the metaphor of the entire text. One must not lose the literal though: the Vedas do not espouse pacifism, except for monks.
So you are a warrior, and not a Brahmin? That explains you.
Remember, in the Vedic system, the Warriors are the second highest caste. By their very nature they are thinkers and planners, the Rulers and Administrators as well as the fighters.
The modern Brahmins who disrespect the Ksyatrias are either evil or degenerate. People like Tom Merton were confused. People like Howard Zinn were evil.
Are any of you willing to comment on Kaminski’s latest article?

I don’t know about the Jew stuff.
Jews or no Jews, ” He who dies with the most toys wins ” is a bankrupt religion right from the start.
— Except that one doesn’t admit it is a religion , because if you once admit the label religion in this case , it becomes apparent rather quickly that this religion makes Aztec human sacrifice and cannibalism look good and reasonable.
Likewise , avoiding applying the term religion to the state. Again, because once you do this it becomes apparent in short order that the religions and families we had for 50,000 years were , if anything, better than this religion that posits nuclear weapons and concentration camps as a means to……………well…………nothing tomorrow , but only for a few , and even for them only right now.
” Let’s take them one at a time: ”
Yes, lets do that.
” FAMILY: best means to indoctrinate children and transmit by example values like militarism, patrotism, misogyny, domestic violence, etc. ”
Certainly you must not mean here that family we had for 50,000 years .
NOTHING in your description remotely fits that model.
You are describing here the sort of ” family ” modeled by the Hitler Youth , the Young Pioneers, and I don’t know what to call its contemporary equivalent as you , yourselves , seem to lack any name for it, understandable, as the rationale today doesn’t seem to be any sort of ideology or theology , not even bad ones.
” COUNTRY: (or nation, if you are pointy-headed enough to think there is a dime’s worth of difference)

True ……… except , curiously, you are constantly trying to knock down the only two possible alternatives to this.
” GOD: an invisible non-existent being who blesses all kinds of nonsense, including militarism and all the restrictions on freedom. ”
I could understand complaining about those bribed apologists for the state called “religious” , but who only ever knock down any God or any religion in favor of the state.
Actually I CAN understand it ; To do so you would be complaining about YOUR ” God ” .
As for any other God, or any afterlife ;
I was abused in many ways as a child, some of those ways I won’t name.
Actually, I fault my abusers the LEAST.
Dozens of Liberals, leftists, rightists, conservatives, feminists and Police fan boys , in positions of status , of some authority, and who were not making minimum wage, knew perfectly well what was going on and did nothing.
Now you can’t give me back my childhood.
What about justice or closure ?
As I said, I have no doubt my abusers were the least to be faulted.
It was these others, who enjoyed status and riches, and could have stopped it in 5 minutes flat , how were they not a hundred times worse?
But what court could I bring them to ? To be charged with what?
so when you say God and an afterlife are make-believe, I understand perfectly well what you are saying.
Janos says, ” Tough shit that you aren’t white. ”
it is really no different your saying ” Tough shit there is no better possible outcome for you , ”
Actually , it is worse than what Janos is saying.
Janos is ONLY saying that others will get screwed in this life, this life which he, himself, has described as the Devil’s kingdom.
Your , ” Tough luck / Tough shit ” is absolute. Final.
— And mindbogglingly malicious and hateful.
Such an assertion, merely the assertion itself, makes Janos out to be a Care Bear .
Auschwitz existed only about 18 months , and for people who were , Auschwitz or no Auschwitz , passing away soon regardless , in a world which itself will soon pass.
Your assertion would, again, make Auschwitz absolute, final, eternal.
Print up several million copies of the Diary of Anne Frank , and that isn’t going to AMOUNT TO SHIT TO HER , if she doesn’t exist , and you know it.
You don’t give a fuck about her.
for a moment I thought maybe you were ignorant or naive or inexperienced .
I see now though that, like Elrond , your words are only a mask for malice , or , perhaps, like a rattlesnake or a shark, you aren’t capable of any sentiment, positive or negative.
The meme you call “Ann Frank” exists in order to focus on her and ignore the millions of German girls who were murdered and raped by the Allies.
The real Ann Frank wrote some twenty pages, some of them erotic fantasy, perhaps lesbian. Her father and a ghostwriter padded this out to 200 or more. The Ghost later sued the Father because he felt he deserved more of the proceeds.
Men must cut deeper than this, Kesa. This just doesn’t make it. This is just pouring NutraSweet into your glass of Coca Cola to make it even more unhealthy.
I do believe in Life after Death and Judgment – so you’re wrong to say what you said. The inequality question is fascinating: the Fathers say the unfortunate will be recompensed and the fortunate judged far more harshly. More logical still is the Doctrine of Karma which states it’s our deeds from the past which determine our current life. And our current deeds and reactions the past karma is the current karma which determines our future.
Evolutionary biologists themselves say memes are horse shit.
and if you wanna keep dragging out that nonsense word and concept , then I’ll keep pointing that out.
Junk science, even junkier philosophy based on that junk science .
” Men must cut deeper than this, Kesa. ”
Deeper than being permanently, pointlessly screwed?
Do explain Janet .
” I do believe in Life after Death and Judgment ”
Yeah……….like I said.
” so you’re wrong to say what you said. ”
so no fucking idea what you are talking about here.
” More logical still is the Doctrine of Karma which states it’s our deeds from the past which determine our current life. And our current deeds and reactions the past karma is the current karma which determines our future. ”
Well most Brown Shirts were, ” Poor, smart , and hungry. ”
And most of those Lotus-eating rotters I have met in the country club set I would not hire to wash my car .
Though , funny, I never seem to hear karma and reincarnation interpreted that particular way ,
EXCEPT when Lotus-Eating country club rotters want to imply that ditch-diggers get the better deal , except the Lotus-Eating country club rotter is in no hurry to volunteer himself / herself for the ditch-digging privilege.
As a general rule of thumb, I take anything said by a Westerner about Eastern religions with a big grain of salt,
Not least because my best friend is Japanese, and I have a daughter in South Korea —
— That is, actual easterners tell me something very different .
The general modus operandi of these westerners is they trot out Social Darwinism when dealing with the uninformed , or when unchallenged.
When challenged, they switch to supposed Eastern religions , which, as I just said, the actual Eastern representatives of those faiths say something very different.
It’s really the same Social Darwinist crap in another costume.
All in all, here again , you read very much like Elrond or Janet ; First it’s an argument this way, then an argument the exact opposite way, and the point is never gotten to.
Except , as I said , you do get to the point that it is all really just about “proving” YOU belong in the country club set, and YOU
“deserve ” all the good stuff.
— Except when you are trying to cut down the only person in the room defending you .
And on that particular occasion YOUR ALLIES are………….Elrond and Janet.
” The real Ann Frank wrote some twenty pages, some of them erotic fantasy, perhaps lesbian. ”
The first 20 or so pages do appear to be a genuine diary, never intended to be read by a third party.
“Her father and a ghostwriter padded this out to 200 or more. ”
The rest of the “diary ” is obviously intended for, targeted at, an audience of greater than one.
So, Whether she wrote it , or someone else wrote it, in EITHER CASE, it is not to be taken seriously.
Do you assume that a person acts genuinely and spontaneously and unreservedly when they know they are being filmed ?
No, the rest of the diary is to be taken as seriously as “reality” TV.
No conspiracy theory required.
Sort of like halfway decent religion scarce requires any faith at all.
Whereas atheism requires so much faith it’s jaw-dropping.
“The Lincoln administration used a variety of tactics to squash dissent: shutting down three hundred opposition newspapers, suspending habeas corpus, imprisoning tens of thousands of political dissenters, deporting outspoken Democratic congressman Clement Vallandigham of Ohio, censoring telegraphs, intimidating judges, conscripting conscripting soldiers, recruiting thousands of foreign immigrants to fight in the war, and rigging Northern elections, to name but a few. Lincoln’s reliance on these underhanded devices proves there was indeed a great deal of opposition to his administration in the North, which was anything but “unified” in the war effort. Despite all these dictatorial efforts, he still only won 55 percent of the popular vote in the North in 1864.”

Impeachment is not a legal process, it is political. Impeachment does not require a president to violate criminal law. But once impeachment proceedings get underway, and particularly if Trump were to refuse to resign, the House Judiciary Committee could examine Trump’s possible conflicts of interest, attempts to intimidate judges, and violations of the Constitution’s emoluments clause.
Should members of Congress begin subpoenaing business records to explore those issues, given the president’s previous reluctance to disclose records, Trump might decide the game is up and resign.
So you only honor votes that go your way.
Like Janos, you are an apostle of brute force, by slightly different words.
And you have already lost.
Another week has come and gone. Obamacare is still the law of the land.
Donald Trump promised to repeal Obamacare at least 68 times. He promised to rpeal it on his first day in office. People were conned into voting for him. Trump. Weak. Obamacare is here to stay. It is, after all, based on a Heritage/Romneycare private, for profit, market-based Republican health insurance plan.
” It is, after all, based on a Heritage/Romneycare private, for profit, market-based Republican health insurance plan. ”
This means that Trump has only not done what you didn’t want done.
you are complaining……..when you have by your own admission gotten what you want.
Or , you actually don’t like and don’t want Fascist – inspired ObamaCare,
So which of these is the lie ?
Or are they both lies ?
“This statement proves the absurdity of Lincoln’s claim in his first inaugural address that the states were not sovereign. They certainly were. This was understood by the founding fathers and by statesmen for decades thereafter. Neither President Thomas Jefferson nor his successor, President Madison, believed that they had any authority to use military force to compel a state to abide by their political dictates. In fact, it’s impossible to believe that the thought even would have entered their minds.”

The Deep State….
“Despite all efforts, the federal government has increased its control over the American educational system, decade by decade, and it is no coincidence that fewer and fewer American students have been educated in the virtues of limited constitutional government. It is simply not in the federal government’s self-interest to teach the public that it is advantageous to place limits on the government’s powers. It must be recognized that there is a powerful constituency for ignoring the constitutional limits on governmental powers, and there is no well-organized pressure group of any consequence in favor of it. All special-interest groups seeking a share of federal largesse work diligently, day in and day out, to urge the government to abandon or ignore constitutional limits and award them subsidies. In contrast, the general public is widely dispersed and rarely ever well organized politically. The public would benefit most from constitutional government, but costs overwhelm the effort to coalesce the masses into an effective political pressure group.”

“But the founding fathers’ system of divided sovereignty, championed by James Madison, was destroyed in 1865. As Professor Dietze further observed: “[ B] efore the Civil War … the nature of American federalism was still a subject of debate. The outcome of the Civil War ended that debate. The Nationalists emerged as victors. National power increased as the twentieth century approached [along with] the disappearance of states’ rights.” 2 That period was subsequently characterized by “an increasing interference with economic freedom” and “constitutes a constitutional revolution that can well be termed a reversal of the Revolution of 1787.” With the system of divided sovereignty sovereignty destroyed, the federal government made itself the sole arbiter of constitutionality, through the U.S. Supreme Court. Not surprisingly, and as the Jeffersonians warned, the federal government has used this role to decide that there are, in fact, no real limits to its powers. Consequently, Americans are no longer sovereign over their government.”

In the old republic, the disillusioned and disenfranchised enjoy the liberty to peacefully assemble and protest, then when done, enjoy a nice bottle of wine or cappuccino produced by free enterprise, then continue to further complain about the circumstances of their existence.
In the New Republic, all good people enjoy resuming the restoration of the Constitutional republic from JFK’s point of interruption, can see for miles and miles, and enjoy Liberty in building out properties and the local means of production, with the capability to sow, nurture, grow, harvest, store, cook, engineer, design, program, automate, construct, process, raise, teach, counsel, hunt, defend, provide, debate, organize, compose, perform, worship, dance, laugh, love, celebrate, and sustain.
We are the sheepdogs.
And we are old fashioned and sentimental.
And we belong to the longest serving Civil Rights organization in the Republic.
And we don’t require others for border protection or building bridges.
And members are made by undying love, devotion, and loyalty to the Constitution.
And we are happy to participate in the proper pursuit and offering of due process under the Constitution to the NETWORK globalist class charlatans who sold out the old republic in their lust for power and the love of money.
And we are ready for what’s next.

The Three Seas Initiative – elegant Trump-Putin play of splitting the Fourth Reich in two chunks
The Three Seas Initiative – that is, the block of post-Soviet Countries that oppose the West, means the return of the US to Yalta geopolitics, that is, the revival of the Russian sphere of influence in Eastern Europe.
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2017/07/05/23/42107CCD00000578-4668724-Poland_is_leading_the_charge_for_the_Three_Seas_Initiative_a_new-a-15_1499295087680.jpg
Trump does not see the future of Europe as one and does everything that depends on him under the smokescreen of “Anti-Russian” rhetoric.
And Warsaw, that took the bait line, hook and sinker, now leads the process of division, being confident, as in 1939, that behind are Paris, London and Washington. Well, guys … The sooner you start getting American liquefied gas, the sooner Germany will ask Russia for “Nord Stream 2”, 3 and so on, according to a list that is ready in Moscow.
Russia and the US are dividing the gas market in Europe, as well as Europe itself.
Trump did everything in his power to raise the unlimited Polish ambition even higher. And he succeeded. Now we can rest assured that at the G-20 summit the Poles will look down on the Germans from above. Of course, the role of the political center of Europe at the head of the coalition (the eastern bloc of the Three Seas Initiative) was transferred to them.
The centuries-old dream of the Poles to become even and even slightly above the Germans is finally close to implementation. As a result, the futile future of Europe and transatlantic solidarity after the June NATO summit has become even foggier.
Therefore, Merkel’s hysterical reaction is far from accidental (in the form of a remark that she will not mediate in the negotiations between Trump and Putin) on what is happening – the specter of the resurgent Entente from bad Germany’s dream turns into an increasingly approaching reality.
While the Poles, under the sound of their own applause, swallowed the bait of contented Trump, who once again got at Madam Chancellor, from the Fourth Reich that is being built for the last twenty years a good chunk just fell off.

I do not want Obamacare repealed or replaced, because Obamacare provides Medicaid to more people. I want Obamacare expanded because it is not enough of a government takeover of health care. I want expansion of Medicaid from 138% of FPL to include up to 999% of FPL. This would move it away from fascism toward socialism, a stopping point on the way to communism.
The Abolitionists were basically “White Supremacists”, right? They wanted to abolish not just slavery, but the negro as well, right?
Slavery was wrong, according to the Abolitionists, because it meant the proliferation of the negro?
Yes Pucker, there was such a contingent within the abolitionist movement; they are the ones who wrote the Oregon state constitution which banned negroes even though there were none there.
But there was another contingent which saw slavery as the most significant impediment to the agency every man needs in order to truly accept or reject Christ.

Texas Weighs Ban on Women
By Andy Borowitz
July 11, 2013
AUSTIN (The Borowitz Report)—Republican lawmakers in the Texas State Senate are proposing a precedent-setting new bill that would make it illegal for women to live in the state.
Senator Harland Dorrinson, one of the many pro-life lawmakers backing the woman ban, crafted his bill after witnessing Senator Wendy Davis filibuster an anti-abortion bill last month.
“That was our moment to say, ‘Enough is enough,’ ” he said. “This comes down to a choice between life and women, and we choose life.”
Senator Dorrinson said his bill would call for a twenty-foot woman-proof fence to be constructed along the borders of the state.
“Women are great at talking, but not at climbing,” he observed.
But another G.O.P. state senator, Cal Jamson, believes that the total ban on women goes “too far” and is proposing a less draconian bill that would allow some women to remain in the state as guest workers.
“Texas needs women to cook, clean, and cheerlead,” he said. “If they show that they can do those things and stay out of politics, there could be a pathway to citizenship.” –Andy Borowitz
