Donald Trump pretends to want to challenge Mario, Jr, b/k/a Andrew Cuomo for New York State governor. The problem is that Donald wants the nomination handed to him on a silver platter, from WHEC, Rochester, NY:
Donald Trump, who says he’d consider a run for New York governor, is scheduled to head upstate to attend a Republican fundraiser.
The Erie County Republican Committee says Trump will be at its Lincoln Leadership Award event in Buffalo on January 31.
The New York City real estate developer is being recruited by some in the GOP to challenge incumbent Democrat Andrew Cuomo. He’s said he would consider running if state Republicans join together behind him.
Trump told The Buffalo News that he would commit $30-million to $50-million of his own money against Cuomo.
If Donald is not willing to run and work for the nomination, I see no reason he would be willing to work to win the actual election. Donald if you want to governor of the Empire State get out of your penthouse and on to the streets, out of catered banquet hall and into the dinners.
The Snark of the Day, from Ann Coulter to Ed Schultz:
“Invite me on your show, you lying pussy.”
Hat tip and back story: Robert Stacy McCain.
Love her or hate her, agree with her or not, their is no getting around that Blondie, a/k/a Ann Coulter is utterly fearless.
The Snark of the Day, from Thomas Sowell, Real Clear Politics:
Chris Christie’s press conference showed that, unlike Barack Obama, Christie did not duck the media or sidestep questions. Nor did he resort to euphemisms or cry out, like Hillary Clinton, “What difference, at this point, does it make?”
No republican has the luxury of running with the media wind an their back. A winning conservative, of which Christie is neither, must learn to take no media prisoners.
The Snark of the Day, from James Pethokoukis, National Review:
Conservatives shouldn’t mind at all when value-creating innovators and entrepreneurs strike it rich while crony capitalists do not. The precious tax breaks and subsidies that go to rent seekers, such as those in the agriculture and alternative-energy sectors, should get the ax. Sorry, Big Sugar and Big Solar
I did not begrudge Ray Kroc and his millions. I do begrudge every cent Dirty Harry Reid has chiseled out of hhe public.
Females work less hours than men, in safer jobs, but a few have the nerve to think they still deserve to be paid more, from Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Shriver Report:
We need to stop buying into the myth about gender equality. It isn’t a reality yet. Today, women make up half of the U.S. workforce, but the average working woman earns only 77 percent of what the average working man makes. But unless women and men both say this is unacceptable, things will not change. Men have to demand that their wives, daughters, mothers, and sisters earn more—commensurate with their qualifications and not their gender. Equality will be achieved when men and women are granted equal pay and equal respect.
Humanity requires both men and women, and we are equally important and need one another. So why are we viewed as less than equal? These old attitudes are drilled into us from the very beginning. We have to teach our boys the rules of equality and respect, so that as they grow up, gender equality becomes a natural way of life. And we have to teach our girls that they can reach as high as humanly possible.
We have a lot of work to do, but we can get there if we work together. Women are more than 50 percent of the population and more than 50 percent of voters. We must demand that we all receive 100 percent of the opportunities.
The chicks need to stop ask to have equality handed to them on a silver platter, and start earning it. Women may constitute a majority of the work force, but men still work the majority of the hours. More over, men account for ninety-two percent of work place fatalities (BLM). I mean when the last time you had a clogged toilet at three AM and some chick showed up to fix it? Get back to me on this sexual equity thing when fifty-three percent of plumbers, pipe fitter and honey pot cleaners are female.
A racist is any person who makes assumptions based on race. Eric Holder is a racist. The Constitution of the United States, Amendment XIV:
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
From Holder’s Department of Injustice, via Daily Caller:
“Schools also violate Federal law when they evenhandedly implement facially neutral policies and practices that, although not adopted with the intent to discriminate, nonetheless have an unjustified effect of discriminating against students on the basis of race.
Examples of policies that can raise disparate impact concerns include policies that impose mandatory suspension, expulsion, or citation (e.g., ticketing or other fines or summonses) upon any student who commits a specified offense — such as being tardy to class, being in possession of a cellular phone, being found insubordinate, acting out, or not wearing the proper school uniform.”
Reax:
The Daily Caller asked several education experts to weigh in on the letter’s recommendations; all three raised serious concerns about the ramifications of changing school disciplinary procedures to engineer equal outcomes across the races.
Joy Pullmann, managing editor of School Reform News, told TheDC that any notion of equal racial discipline is obviously flawed.
“It’s ridiculous to assign quotas for discipline based on race,” she said. “If we did that, for one thing, we’d have to believe that Asian students are severely under-disciplined.”
More reax, Weasel Zippers:
So understand very clearly what the DOJ is explicitly saying: if there is more discipline meted out to black students, even if warranted, it violates Federal law.
Equality before the law means being judged by your actions and not by the color of your skin. The Constitution mandates equal treatment under the law. Whereas Eric Holder mandates unequal treatment under the law to achieve equal outcome. Any student punished under Holder’s Department of Injustice guidance will have had his civil rights trampled.
Which book is longer, Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged or Mrs. Clinton’s list of enemies? From Politico:
Aides on Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign kept a detailed list of party colleagues who staffers believed had betrayed her during the long and bitter primary battle with President Obama, a new book reveals.
The list included rankings, with those who were considered the most egregious traitors by Clinton loyalists receiving the worst possible score of 7 on a point scale.
Mrs. Clinton has a simple problem, and I don’t mean B.J. The better you get to know Mrs. Clinton, the less you get to like her. Mrs. Clinton ‘s enemies list from 2008 campaign season reads like of Who’s Who of the Senate democrat caucus. That is Mrs. Clinton Senate colleagues neither liked her, nor feared her.
Hat tip and reax, Jammie Waring Fools:
We doubt this enemies list only goes back to 2008. It’s quite likely she’s got a 10-volume list of traitors dating back decades.
I’d wager that Mrs. Clinton’s hit list goes back to 1947. What say you?
What is the difference between Windows 8 and the Unaffordable Care Act (UCA)? The Internal Revenue Service does not work for Microsoft , from James Kendricjk,. ZDNET:
It seems only a few months have passed since Windows 8.1 was released, probably because it was, and we’re already hearing about ‘Threshold’. This is the next big update for Windows that is going to solve all of Microsoft’s problems with adoption of its OS.
Windows 9, as the next version is reported to be called, is no doubt a push to get more people to make the switch to the new Windows that Microsoft has so much riding on. The adoption to the current phase of Windows hasn’t been great, according to Paul Thurrott of WinSuperSite.
Will anybody, at all, miss Windows Eight or the UCA? Film at Eleven.
Title IX for gang rape:
A 16-year-old girl was allegedly beaten by other girls before being held down to be raped in a horrifying attack that was filmed on a cellphone, it was revealed today.
Patricia Montes, 15, and 16-year-old Erica Avery are accused of punching, kicking and pepper-spraying the girl before holding her down to be raped by Jayvon Woolfork, 19, police said.
The barbaric attack was filmed on a cell phone by Lanel Singleton, 18, and shows the girl writhing half naked and weeping in the yard of a home in Hollywood, Florida while her attackers leer over her.
Along with 17-year-old Dwight Henry, the alleged rape gang have all been charged in the attack on November 1 last year.

The Lion has died. Ariel Sharon dead at eighty-five:
(CNN) — Ariel Sharon, the former Israeli prime minister who died Saturday at age 85, made a name for himself as a military and political leader who put Israel’s security above all else.
It was a position that earned the controversial figure the nickname “the bulldozer” as a fearless leader who got things done.
To many Israelis, he was a hero. To some in the Arab world, he was a killer.

Now that Christie has run off the RINO’s, what next?
Chris Christie ( RINO – fat ) used Chicago style politics to punish a political enemy:
The allegation against Christie is that he attempted to punish the mayor of Fort Lee, NJ, for not endorsing him for re-election. And that he did so by ordering lanes of the George Washington Bridge shut down, making havoc of traffic.
Then when caught he used the Obama defense, to wit he played dumb:
“What Ive seen today for the first time is unacceptable. I am outraged and deeply saddened to learn that not only was I misled by a member of my staff, but this completely inappropriate and unsanctioned conduct was made without my knowledge. One thing is clear: this type of behavior is unacceptable, and I will not tolerate it because the people of New Jersey deserve better.”
Hat tip, and story from Ace.
The lame streamers only turn a blind eye to Chicago style corruption when the thugs are democrats. As for the Obama defense, playing dumb, or just being plain dumb, the lame streamers just don’t expect much from an affirmative action President.
Carolyn McCarthy, the dumbest white woman in Congress, has announced her, long overdue, retirement, from Politico:
Two veteran House Democrats, Reps. Carolyn McCarthy of New York and Mike McIntyre of North Carolina, will not seek reelection in 2014, according to multiple Democratic officials and aides.
[…]
McCarthy came to Congress after her husband and son were both shot in a December 1993 incident on the Long Island Railroad. McCarthy’s husband, Dennis, was killed, while her son survived the incident.
No doubt McCarthy came by her blondness naturally. McCarthy was made a widow due to New York’s inane gun control policy which made a Long Island Railroad coach into a free fire zone, from Wikipedia:
McCarthy worked as a nurse. On December 7, 1993, her husband, Dennis, was killed and her son, Kevin, was severely injured by spree killer Colin Ferguson, who opened fire on a Long Island Rail Road commuter train. In response, she ran for Congress on a gun control platform, defeating Republican Dan Frisa in the 1996 elections.
Having been made a widow because of gun control, McCarthy had it her pet issue to expand gun control. Go figure.
You gotta give former mayor Micheal Bloomberg some credit. He was willing to spend vast amounts of his own money to advance his own private agenda. For example, Bloomberg never meet a gun. other than his own, that he did not want,ban, confiscate or outright steal. In contrast the new Da Mayor appear willing to whore himself out to the highest bidder, from Robert Stacy McCain, American Spectator:
De Blasio’s Horse-Drawn Carriage Ban: Is It Really About Campaign Cash?
Mayor Bill de Blasio’s promise to ban New York City’s iconic horse-drawn carriages could backfire, exposing what the newly-elected mayor’s critics suggest is a corruption scandal masquerading as an animal-rights crusade. Defenders of the carriage industry point to a real-estate executive who is one of de Blasio’s major campaign donors as the driving force behind the effort to abolish the carriages.
Hat tip and more, McCain:
Earlier today I talked about how Mayor Bill de Blasio’s agenda will turn New York City into a squalid nightmare. He has chosen an odd starting spot for his effort to destroy the city’s economy: About 200 people who earn their living as horse-drawn carriage drivers.
If de Blasio bankrupts New York City, he can take the entire state, and Mario, Jr’s presidential aspirations with him.
Hapless Akademik Shokalskiy flat landers cause environmental disaster, from New Zealand Herald:
The hapless Australasian Antarctic Expedition is finally homeward bound – and thousands of trees will have to be planted to offset the carbon footprint from the prolonged rescue effort.
[…]
The expedition had pledged to plant about 800 kauri trees in Northland to cover its carbon footprint. Environmentalists believe planting trees helps to offset the impact of burning fuels such as diesel.
But former Act Party leader and Herald on Sunday columnist Rodney Hide said that would have to increase to about 5000 trees to make up for the fossil fuels burned in the rescue.
These environmental fools would have done more good if they had stayed home and planted trees rather than playing flat land tourists.
