Ho hum! Crooked Cankles accused her opposition of being racists and white supremacists. I’m shocked. This time it’s not a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy it’s a Vast Alt-Right Conspiracy. Break out your tin foil hats.

But she’s not getting it. I’m giving it to the TSA again.

A nine-year-old aspiring pilot with a pacemaker has spoken about the ‘terrible’ ordeal he suffered at the hands of TSA at Phoenix’s Sky Harbor Airport.

Chille Bergstrom was to travel home to Minnesota with his family on Saturday, but was denied an alternative screening process.

He was then surrounded by armed police and agents, who told his mother they have stopped terrorists using children with pacemakers.

The youngster, who was born with Godlen Hars Syndrome, has undergone 15 open heart surgeries in his short life – but still needs to have a pacemaker to survive with his four heart defects.

Because of this, they are required to always request alternative screening as he cannot go through metal detectors – but in this case, the TSA refused.

His mother Ali Bergstrom, of Wyoming, said she showed authorities the documentation proving Chille needs the alternative screening but was told they would need to request an exemption.

They never did, but were held up for more than an hour before being told they couldn’t fly.

Bergstrom wrote on Facebook that her son had told TSA agents: ‘I don’t want an exemption, I want to go through an alternate screening like I always do.’

‘He sat on my lap, crying for an hour, as we were surrounded by 18 TSA and police and were actually told by the TSA that ‘some terrorist plots use children with pacemakers’.

…

She added: ‘One of the TSA agents told me they’d prevented terrorist attacks using nine-year-old boys with pacemakers and children before, so I laughed and said, ‘Oh when?’

‘At that point, the TSA agent became very quiet and said, ‘Oh we’re not at liberty to discuss this.”

Of course they aren’t. What a bunch of assholes! At least they didn’t throw him to the floor like the disabled girl a few weeks ago.

Ron sez so much better than I some of the stuff that I have been thinking lately.

We do not E-lect presidents any more; what happens is that our media SE-lect one for us. Our system has devolved from a democratically appointed CEO of a republic into an entrenched DU-opoly in which two detached, self-absorbed, greedy, power-addicted parties have a MON-opoly on all power which is centered in a trained robot as carefully groomed and completely paid for as an NFL quarterback, exactly what many of the founding fathers warned us about.

Want proof of that devolution? Just think for a moment about two things:

First, if Hillary is so far ahead in the race that her winning is a foregone conclusion, why are the alphabet-network mainstream media still running anti-Trump propaganda interference for her? If it’s going to be a landslide in her favor, why are they still gang-mugging her opponent while she remains incommunicado except for late-nite gag-show appearances and carefully scripted speeches?

Second, when a maverick comes along who actually says what us flyover hayseeds have been thinking for years ourselves and exhibits no intention whatever of playing by the mouldy but cherished rules of PC and politics as usual, both sides gang up on him as if he’d been seen strangling puppies and reading Mein Kampf.

To paraphrase P.J. O’Rourke, leftistas tell voters that more government will make everybody smarter, taller, healthier, and happier with free everything to go around if we could just take all the money from rich white people and redistribute it. Then they blame their failure on the stuck-in-the-mud previous administration once they get into office and fail to balance the budget. Meanwhile, conservatives claim that government is already too big, too corrupt, too incompetent to accomplish anything and then once elected work passionately to prove it conclusively.

I voted for George Wallace back in ’68 and ’72 as a rejection of both Humphrey and Nixon. He’d have been a complete disaster as PotUS, but he said some very pithy things along the way: “In terms of legislative and executive effectiveness, there ain’t a dime’s worth of difference between today’s Democrats and Republicans” and “If some thug comes up and hits you on the head with a lead pipe in an alley and takes your money, he’ll be out of jail before you’re out of the hospital.”

Entrenched party politicians don’t LIKE it when somebody tells the truth on ‘em, so his campaign didn’t succeed, and since he refused to go away, he got shot. Well, I agree with those two statements of his: BOTH parties are equally guilty of government gridlock, grinding poverty, and growing debt, just for differing reasons.

I’ve been around for ¾ of a century now, lived in more than half a dozen states and actually set foot for one reason or another in every single one of the 50. Got a good high-school education, completed a military career of more than 20 years, visited 7 countries in Southeast Asia and 3 in the Mediterranean, stayed married to one woman for over 50 years and helped her raise 4 kids, picked up a couple of degrees, read a whole LOT of books, and taught college for over 15 years . . . . . and I just don’t get it.

I just don’t get why people voted for a completely unqualified, inexperienced, non-American rookie senator – TWICE – just because they thought it would be “cool,” and now are eager to have a covetous, duplicitous, spectacular failure replace him just because she happens to be female. Only two logical reasons come to mind: profound ignorance or belief that something’s in it for them individually.

It’s all just mind boggling that a guy like Trump can come along offering to sweep out the PC debris along with the painfully obvious pay-for-play deadwood in D.C.; blow away all the good ol’ boy Bushes and Kasichs and Santorums and even the fresh faces such as Walker and Rubio, not to mention the tokens Fiorina and Carson; and say over and over what a strong majority of average Americans are thinking, but the caviar and champagne crowd of the GOP treat him like a Nazi concentration camp guard and want to eject him from their elegant and time-polished ivory tower as if he were a leper.

Every four years since the 1980s the GOP has insisted that we pinch our nostrils and vote for the latest sock puppet they’ve found who’s stupid enough to want the job. Now, when a guy comes along who wouldn’t be intimidated by special-interest groups but would back up most of the conservative ideas they say they propose, they turn THEIR noses up in the air as if he’s tracking in barnyard droppings on their plush Persian carpet.

And when the Left sends out a politically correct attack dog such as Khizr Kahn to verbally assault him from behind the dead son whose body he’s using as a human shield, it’s not only the Democrats and their lapdog press who repeat skewer Trump with his badly chosen riposte but a horde of Republicans who condemn him as a racist and support the Muslim hired gun.

Somethin strange about that Khan thing, too, in that he becomes a celeb on all the alphabet network talk shows to represent the “Gold Star” families, but those on the right who lost sons get about as much press as a 4” bluegill caught accidentally in a bait bucket during a largemouth bass fishing tournament.

Go ‘head, tell ME the MSM isn’t biased in favor of a vicious female who’s accomplished absolutely nothing in her entire life except to intimidate people with her husband’s political clout and bring destruction to everyplace she visited in an official capacity in Soetoro’s thugocracy.

I just don’t get it. Think I’m gonna go have a li’l drink of blended whiskey and eat summadis tasty-lookin stuff The Regg is cookin for her cronies at the NavEx.

Actually Ron, I get it. The gummint run socialist indoctrination centers know as public schools have so dumbed down the citizenry of this country that they will vote for people like Obungler and Crooked Cankles. The GOPe is no longer Republican. It has now morphed into Dimocrat lite or maybe I should say the GOPe is Republicrat or Dimocan. They expected us to vote for two Dimocrats like McRINO and Mittens Romneycare but when we selected the person we rubes in flyover country wanted they are now doing every thing in their power to sabotage his candidacy and throw the election to Thunder Rodent Thighs. If Trump does lose as a result, four years from now, they’ll be back with another McRINO or Mittens Romsycare and demand that we vote for him because he’s not as far left as the Dimocrat. By then it will be too late. The Supreme Court will be lost for a generation and Crooked Cankles will have created so many new Dimocrat voters via amnesty that the GOP will never win another presidential election. Hopefully, a new party, the American Party, will have risen from the ashes.

The Rule of Law is dead in this country. It died a long time ago. In a sane world, all three Clintons would be in jail. One of them should have been thrown out of office. One of them may be our next president. Sad.

I received the following from Heironymus and another reader the other day.

It seems that lately
my life has been getting more complicated, and I
want to thank those of you who are brave enough to still associate
with me regardless of what I have become.

The following is a recap of my current identity:

I was born white, which makes me a racist.

I am a fiscal and moral conservative, which makes me a fascist.

I am heterosexual, which makes me a homophobic.

I am non-union, which makes me a traitor to the working class and an
ally of big business.

I am a Christian, which makes me an infidel.

I am older than 65 and retired, which makes me a useless old
person.

I think and I reason; therefore I doubt much that the main stream
media tells me, which makes me a reactionary.

I am proud of my heritage and our inclusive American culture, which
makes me a xenophobe.

I value my safety and that of my family; therefore I appreciate the
police and the legal system, which makes me a right-wing extremist.

I believe in hard work, fair play, and fair compensation according to
each individual’s merits, which makes me anti-social.

I, and my friends, acquired a good education without student
loans and no debt at graduation, which makes me some kind of odd
underachiever.

I believe in the defense and protection of the homeland by all
citizens, which makes me a militarist.

Please help me come to terms with this, because I‘m not sure who I
am anymore!

Newest problem – I’m not sure which bathroom I should use.

I must admit that I identify with most of this. About the only thing that is different is I’m not a Christian, but I am an infidel. I do know which bathroom to us. I have a penis so I use the men’s room.

One thing you have to remember, SJWs always lie. Always! Now they are lying about Obummercare’s death spiral. Every thing that the Republicans said would happen with Obummercare is happening.

In Sunday’s Atlanta Urinal and Constipation, super liberal Jay Bookman wrote a column saying that all we needed to do was “tweak” Obummercare. Yeah. That will work. Then he came out with this whopper. “We have a useless Congress that has voted some 60 times to repeal Obamacare but it has yet to draft, let alone vote upon, a single proposal to replace it.” Lie. Republicans have come up with replacements. As to tweaking he said that we had tweaked Medicare and Social Security so why not Obummercare. Social Security and Medicare were both bipartisan programs. Obummeercare was passed using legislative shenanigans without a single Republican vote. Tweaking it is not an option. Repeal and replace.

Then we have Paul Krugman. You can always count upon him to lie. His lies appear every Monday in the AJC. As I always say about Krugman just remember that he worked for Enron. He was their chief economist. That’s all you need to know. Anyhoo, his solution is more subsidies, in other words, bail out the insurance companies that are losing money. Yeah. Let’s throw more money at a failing program. He comes up with these whoppers.

The story so far: Since Obamacare took full effect in January 2014, two things have happened. First, the percentage of Americans who are uninsured has dropped sharply. Second, the growth of health costs has slowed sharply, so that the law is costing both consumers and taxpayers less than expected.

The first statement is kind of true. The percentage has dropped but not sharply. The second is an outright lie. Health costs have not slowed and the law is costing consumers more than expected. Premiums and copays have skyrocketed. Another lie. And remember, Obungler said that premiums would drop an average of $2500 per family. Nope. Skyrocketed.

Meanwhile, the bad things that were supposed to happen didn’t. Health reform didn’t cause the budget deficit to soar;

It didn’t cause it to soar, but it did increase it. It was supposed to cut the deficit and if we adopted Krugman’s solution, more subsidies, it would cause the deficit to soar. Liberals’ solutions are always to throw money at problems.

it didn’t kill private-sector jobs, which have actually grown more rapidly since Obamacare went into effect than at any time since the 1990s.

Biggest lie of all. This is total bullshit! People were laid off. Full time jobs were turned into part time jobs. Obummercare was/is a jobs killer.

Evidence also is growing that the law has meant a significant improvement in both health and financial security for millions, probably tens of millions, of Americans.

What evidence is that? He goes on to lie about how well the private exchanges are doing as private exchanges are failing in many states and going out of business.

Obummercare is a failure. Those on the left keep telling outright lies to try and convince Americans that it is doing just fine. SJWs always lie.

Feel so Bad from Cactus’s second album, One Way or Another. Not a bad cut on the entire album. The backup vocals are from the drummer, Carmine Appice and the bass player, Tim Bogert. Rusty Day was an awesome front man, vocals and harmonica. Jimmy McCarty was great on guitar. When I saw them opening for Rod Stewart and the Faces, Rusty Day came out and said, “You’re gonna be surprised man, we’re gonna kick your ass!” Then they proceeded to do so. He really had a swagger on stage. First bass solo I ever saw was from Bogert. 70’s rock ruled! Beats the shit out of what passes for rock today.

Little late on this. Here is a prelude to a Bach cello suite played on guitar.

Another blonde from Rayko. (more…)

I was gonna give it to the LSM propaganda arm of the Dimocrat Party for the difference between how they covered Katrina and the current flooding in Louisiana. The current flooding is worse than Katrina but you couldn’t tell it by the coverage. Of course, there isn’t a Republican to blame so they have downplayed the coverage. They were the winners but then they got trumped by Obungler, yannow, the guy who’s been on vacation all week and hasn’t even bothered to mention the flooding in Louisiana. Mustn’t have anything interfere with his golf game.

President Obama has refused so far to survey the Louisiana flood disaster, but he did let state and local officials know that he’s watching to make sure they don’t engage in racial discrimination.

In a 16-page guidance issued Tuesday, the Obama administration, led by the Justice Department, warned Louisiana recipients of federal disaster assistance against engaging in “unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin (including limited English proficiency).”

The guidance’s frameworks “highlight the importance of complying with nondiscrimination requirements of civil rights statutes, addressing the needs of the whole community, and ensuring equal opportunity to access recovery efforts.”

Needless to say, some Louisiana residents were offended, including the American Conservative’s Rod Dreher, who took umbrage at receiving an anti-discrimination lecture from Washington, D.C., as locals struggle to rescue, house and feed their neighbors.

He referred to the guidance as a “long bureaucratic memo” issued by the “Department of Justice and many other agencies of the executive branch overseen by He Who Cannot Be Troubled to Leave Martha’s Vineyard.”

What a dickhead! The only racism I see is from our president. What an asshole!
