McCain doesn’t want Trump at his funeral.
But, he wants Obama there.
That tells you everything you need to know about McCain.
Disclaimer, I am not a fan of the World’s richest gigolo, one J. Forbes Kerry. Then I am a patriot, from Front Page Mag:
Democrats and their media allies have turned the country upside down investigating claims of collusion by the administration. Obama and Clinton allies in the DOJ have eavesdropped on Americans, raided their homes in the middle of the night, and denied the President of the United States the elementary protection of attorney-client privilege based on the opposition research of the Clinton campaign.
Collusion is not a Federal crime. Violating the Logan Act is.
The double standard on Trump and Kerry would have us believe that the President-elect has no right to back channels to foreign governments, but that a former Secretary of State is entitled to have them.
Michael Flynn as incoming National Security Advisor for the Trump Administration had discussion with the Russian government about possible sanctions relief. For this the Obama holdovers in both the DOJ and FBI launched a Logan Act investigation into Flynn.
Meanwhile back at the yacht club, J. Forbes Kerry, former and disgraced Secretary of State for the extinct Obama regime, is still traveling around the world vainly trying to preserve the Obama regime foreign policy. Had the voters approved to the Obama regime foreign policy, her royal thighness, Mrs. B.J. Clinton might well be Madam President, duly elected even if not sober.
In 1939, Adolf Hitler was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. I suggest to you that we would be reminded both loudly and endlessly by every leftist nerd on the planet were Donald Trump to ever be nominated for that prize. Of course, they’d be forgetting the recent history.
I say this not in defense of Donald Trump, but rather to point out both the moral and ethical worthlessness of the Nobel Prize and to point out the degree to which the opposition to Trump from both establishment Republicans and Democrats along with leftists the world over (whom I lothe and detest equally) have become just plain nuts.
So, please, Trump supporters, do continue to point out that despite having brought peace to the Korean peninsula…. (something that nobody else has been able to do)… Trump has not been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Such double standards…. particularly when they are this glaring, do need to be pointed out…. But please stop demanding that he be cursed with such a nomination.
It only serves to add moral and popular weight to an organization that should have been stripped of it in 1939 and certainly should have been ignored then and since.
This diversity thing is in ordinary thinking rather strange. Every libtard claims to support diversity but none dare define it. Starbucks, the coffee chain of overprice coffee, after being scammed in Philadelphia and pledging to conduct chain wide diversity training, has decided that in doesn’t want too much diversity after all, from Tablet:
After two black men were arrested in a Philadelphia Starbucks earlier this month for doing nothing more than waiting for a man they were meeting, the coffee giant announced that it would provide employees in its 8,000 US locations with diversity training, and named the four experts it said will help lead the effort: Sherrilyn Ifill of the NAACP’s Legal Defense Fund, Bryan Stevenson of the Equal Justice Initiative, Heather McGhee of the liberal think tank Demos, and Jonathan Greenblatt, the ADL’s CEO. But Tamika Mallory, a leader of the Women’s March and vocal supporter of Louis Farrakhan, objected, saying in a tweet that the ADL was an organization dedicated to “constantly attacking black and brown people.”
Mallory’s bigoted observation might’ve swayed someone at Starbucks: Last week, the chain announced that while the other three experts will still lead the training, Greenblatt will not, and that the ADL will now be demoted to a secondary role alongside “a diverse array of organizations and civil rights experts” that will provide limited consulting to Starbucks.
It appears George Orwell was almost right: All animals are diverse, but some are more diverse than others. Little did I know that you can have diversity with blacks, or diversity with Jews, but you can’t have diversity with both blacks and Jews.
* Let’s talk about Chance, and about Kanye West for a minute.
I’ve had my problems with both of them, particularly West, for years now.
Thing is, it appeared to me even back in the day is that the whole rap thing was about rebellion against the establishment. So now, here we are with rappers starting to turn on the left.
Should we take this as a sign that the left has become the hated establishment?
* Speaking of the left as the establishment, let’s talk about John McCain. I notice in his latest book, he Rambles on about how he has brain cancer and so Now’s the Time to speak his mind. A bit of irony, that. He spent his entire life time since Vietnam speaking out against conservatives, and blocking them on every possible occasion. So with a dramatic flare about speaking his mind since he has brain cancer, what does he do? He spends more time speaking out against conservatives. You will forgive me if I’m unimpressed. We’re supposed to be sympathetic because he’s losing his mind. I suggest that happened decades ago. His record in the Senate seems proof of that. It’s past time for this guy to disappear into the VA Hospital… a system he spent years doing absolutely nothing about despite all the rhetoric.
*From the world of reality Detachment we find that the little gargoyle up in North Korea wants the West to invest in his country. A McDonald’s style investment. Apparently he doesn’t understand that because of his policies, nobody has any money to spend at those stores he wants put into place.
I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop on this one. The only thing we’ve been able to trust this guy to do is to go exactly the opposite of any agreement he’s made.
And I wonder do we really want to be making deals with North Korea, where the only fat person in North Korea continues to run the place? On what basis do we continue to support the literal enslavement of an entire country?
* Oh and speaking of dropping shoes, did anyone notice that Iran got called on their lies? Since Iran lied, it seems reasonable to aver that Barack Hussein Obama did as well. And I keep seeing chatter that Obama received idly percentage of those pallets of cash that were delivered to Iran.
Timeline, the then Director of National Intelligence, leaks the Steele Dossier to CNN, falsely confirms the dossier, lies to CNN that he in fact leaked the story, and then is hired by the same network to which he lied as a analysis, from Hill:
“Finding #44,” where the committee suggested that then-Director of National Intelligence (DNI) James Clapper leaked information from the so-called Steele dossier. Even worse for Clapper, the alleged leak was made to CNN, which later hired him as a contributor.
If true, both the national intelligence chief and then-FBI Director James Comey leaked information while denying such violations to Congress. Moreover, even if Clapper waited until shortly after leaving office, it is deeply troubling that he would confirm details of the dossier, which was under investigation.
Clapper lied to CNN and yet, or because, CNN hired him.
Ok, life is a terminal disease. Mortal physicians limited power to cure human afflictions, and health care funding is not finite. That said, to prevent or force a person’s free choice of travel is called kidnapping, and in a civilized nation is is a crime, from Federalist:
A British doctor treating Alfie Evans told reporters off the record his parents won’t be allowed to take their child out of the hospital, even to die at home, unless there is a “sea change” in their attitude.
Alfie’s parents are battling the hospital and the government of the United Kingdom to continue caring for their little boy, who is suffering from an undiagnosed condition that British doctors say has rendered him terminally ill. Although he was taken off life support Monday night, Alfie has continued to live with the help of an oxygen tank. The courts have ruled his parents cannot take him out of the country, and have allowed the hospital to keep Alfie in their “care” by force.
Granted, Alfie Evans is dying. His doctor can not cure him. The NHS can not afford to pay for his continued treatment. Howwever, by keeping young Evans in their “care” despite their inability to treat him and despite his parents desire for his treatment to end. the British hospital, has kidnapped young Evans. This is what Comrade Bernie Sanders wishes to impose the citizens of the United States.
You have to wonder what part of the Bill of Rights do the thugs of the Broward County Sheriff’s Office loath the most, the First or the Second Amendment? From Daily Wire:
On Wednesday, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office released its police report on its grilling of Parkland pro-Second Amendment student Kyle Kashuv. Kashuv has spent the past several weeks meeting with legislators on both the right and the left in an attempt to broker legislation that would reduce violence in schools. But after Kashuv visited a gun range for instruction alongside his father, he was called in by armed school security for an interview.
First off, we know that Mr. Kashuv was unarmed. The thugs of the BCSO would have never confronted a student who was armed. So what set off the BCSO thugs? Was it the fact the young Mr. Kashuv dared safely exercise this Second Amendment Rights, or was it the fact that Mr. Kashuv dared exercise his First Amendment right by posting a video? We have never know. Tyrants, abhor all freedom.
I offer a modest suggestion, ib order not to offend with the social justice pansies at Parkland or the armed thugs of the BCSO, I suggest that next time Mr. Kashuv posts a video it be one his father giving him the Jerry Sandusky. I am sure that neither Parkland or the BCSO would dare to object.
Roger Stone has his opinion of the late Barbara Bush, and he is letting it be known, from Red State:
“She is descending into hell right now. She’s not going to heaven. She was a bad person,” Stone told controversial website InfoWars.com Wednesday.
Now unlike Mr. Stone, I don’t claim to have inside knowledge of where the soul of Barbara Bush resides. Then neither does Mr. Stone. That having been said, I ask Mr. Stone the basis of his bold asssertion.
First, no being an expert on religous doctrine, I ask Mr. Stone, what particular religious doctrine is he citing? The Christian god holds that we are all sinner, both me and Mr. Stone included. That good works will not ascend a mortal sinner to heaven, but rather only those who accept God as their savior and ask for his forgiveness will enter the Pearly Gates.
So Mr. Stone describes a Biblical version of Hell, but poses a decidedly non-Christian admission standard to Heaven. Mr. Stone what is your religion?
Then as to Barbara, she knew her end was near, but apparently was not afraid to depart this Earth. In other words, Mrs.Bush acted like a women who knew she was saved and believed where she w as going. That is Mrs. Bush professed to be a Christian and appeared to believe in what she professed.
This is a calculated move if I’ve ever seen one.
ALBANY — Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo announced on Wednesday that he intends to restore voting rights to felons on parole, a move that could open the ballot box to more than 35,000 people.
The mechanism through which Mr. Cuomo plans to do so is unusual: He would consider pardons for all 35,000 people currently on parole in New York, as well as any new convicted felons who enter the parole system each month.
The move amounts to a legal sidestep of the State Legislature, where the Republican-controlled Senate has opposed many of Mr. Cuomo’s proposed criminal justice reforms. It does not change state law, which currently bars convicted felons from voting unless they are on probation or have completed parole.
.
Look, from Andrew Cuomo’s point-of-view, Justice is anything that keeps Democrats in power.
Let’s make no mistake about this. A little over half of the Parolees in New York state live in New York City which is the only part of the state that voted for Cuomo, and outside of the 5 boroughs every area of New York State voted against him.
Do you have a better picture of what’s driving this now?
If Cuomo thought for a second that these people would be voting for The GOP and voting him out of office, he’d be campaigning to build larger jails so that he could put them back in them.
As it is with everywhere outside of New York City voting against him he almost found his presidential aspirations dispatched by the voters. This is nothing more than a move to prevent that from happening at the next election.
For years now we’ve been hearing about how we should be taxing the wealthy. This, we are told is the solution to the problems of government overspending.
The results of that bizarre notion are now coming to roost. 1000 cats being boiled alive wouldn’t scream louder.
The Sacramento Bee whines:
Well, gee. Where do you suppose the blame for that one lies? That’s right Sacramento and it’s tax-and-spend ways.
Far as I’m concerned that’s been the Brilliance of the Trump plan in the first place. Curtailing state-level spending is the issue. And guess what? Some of these Democrat help States I’m going to be Democrat held States any longer when people get a load of the taxes that are being taken.
I am sick to death of paying for Sacramento and Albany and their tax and spend excesses. How about you?

So Vladimir Putin has for years funded America’s anti-fracking and anti-pipeline environmental movement. That’s far more important than a few Facebook ads. Does anyone care? Why not? https://t.co/8bANO57ny7 via @powerlineUS
Yeah. Unexpectedly.
Buddy Ed Morrissey notes:
A new poll from ABC and the Washington Post puts the two parties close to a virtual dead head in the generic congressional ballot:
With the Republicans’ House majority at risk, 47 percent of registered voters say they prefer the Democratic candidate in their district, while 43 percent favor the Republican. That four-point margin compares with a 12-point advantage Democrats held in January. Among a broader group of voting-age adults, the Democrats’ margin is 10 points, 50 percent to 40 percent. …
Democrats hold an advantage ahead of the midterm elections, but a Washington Post-ABC News poll shows that edge has narrowed since January, a signal to party leaders and strategists that they could be premature in anticipating a huge wave of victories in November.
Reality, you see, is beginning to settle in.
Over at Townhall, Kurt Schlichter notices the polling as well, and says in part:
There is a huge opinion schism between conservatives inside the Beltway who think a midterm Democrat tsunami is coming, and many conservatives outside the swamp, in America, who are not so sure. One thing is certain – the gimp box media and the left’s Fredcon enablers are working overtime to psych us out and make defeat a done deal. But nothing is a done deal. We have six months. The Republicans just need to get smart and fight.
Well, that might be a tall order for the Republicans, as I’ve written many times in these spaces. Now, more than ever, the GOP needs to lose its fear of actually being conservative. It is in fact the path to Victory, because I tell you true, it’s perceived by this writer along with I think the majority of the country, to be the only way we’re going to save the country.
As Shlichter himself says:
Yes, the Democrats do have a major advantage in the fact that the Republican establishment, especially in Congress, is largely a gaggle of drooling idiots. From Sissy Sasse to Foamy Marco, these fussy failures seem determined to demoralize the base with their tedious moralizing about how “We are better than that” and “Oh, well I never.” The GOP would have no problem if these dorks had just one tenth the will to win as they do the will to posture for the benefit of a liberal media that hates them and that will disembowel them the moment they stop being useful idiots and become merely idiots.
That said, let’s remember the Democrats tried to psych us out in Hillary Clinton’s non-election as well. They tried to pass it off as a done deal.
I’m pretty sure we all know how that one worked out.
Is ABC News wanted to give an unbiased interview as regards James Comey, why in the world would they let George Stephanopoulos run the interview? After all, this is a guy whose career was started for the purpose of convincing the entire world that the Clinton’s were honest honorable and Law abiding.
I suppose that Starbucks could have just blamed it on the Tooth Fairy, and then fired her. However, even a social justice warrior know the Tooth Fairy is an imaginary character So Starbucks invented the next best thing, imaginary bias:
from Philly.com:
Johnson said managers will now receive training on “unconscious bias.”
“The circumstances surrounding the incident and the outcome in our store on Thursday were reprehensible. They were wrong,” Johnson said on GMA. “For that, I personally apologize to the two gentlemen that visited our store.”
Now on one hand Starbucks doesn’t claim the manager knew he was biased, or acted with biased intent. Yet the company fired him anyhow. I suspect that training to eliminate an unconscious bias will consisted fo social approved indoctrination. What say you?
