AOTW 3-16-2018

I was gonna give it to that little twerp who survived the Parkland school massacre and is out blaming the NRA, Republicans, Rubio, Trump, Dana Loesch, and others for the shooting and has turned into an annoying little gun grabber. He’s now whining about people pushing back at him and making personal attacks. WTF has this little butthead done but make personal attack on those who support the 2nd Amendment.

But this annoying little dude was beat out by Crooked Cankles who still hasn’t gotten over the 2016 election. This past week in India she insulted the half of the country that didn’t vote for her as backward morons. She went after white women who didn’t vote for her because their husbands or sons forced them to vote for Trump instead of Queen Cankles. Just because she was married to someone who walked all over her she thinks other married women let their husbands walk all over them as well. Many of these married women who did not vote for Thunder Rodent Thighs would have taken their children and left a husband who treated them like BJ did. They saw right through her faux feminism and voted accordingly.

On the upside, she was unable to successfully waddle down some stairs in India and fell not once but twice.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This time she lost both shoes.

The next day she broke her wrist supposedly falling while getting in a bathtub. It’s a good thing she didn’t become president. She could have fallen and accidentally hit the nuke button.

National Geographic Is Racist

It’s true! They admit it in a mea culpa written by their editor in chief. Of course there is a lot of liberal bullshit like the following.

Race is not a biological construct, as writer Elizabeth Kolbert explains in this issue, but a social one that can have devastating effects.

GMAFB! Race is a biological construct. There are differences in races and those who say there aren’t deny reality.

Anyway, I do agree that National Geographic was racist. I can still remember looking at an issue when I was in 4th grade and seeing all those African women naked from the waist up. Look! Boobies! Unfortunately, they weren’t very good looking boobs, but nevertheless we all looked forward to National Geographic for the boobs. But they were always black boobs. Obviously, that was racist.

Ronsday – Is Trump A Statesman?

I received the following e-mail from a reader.

Denny,

I’ve been following the GOC blog and comments about Ron and Ron’s comments and guest posts for years. Ron wasn’t very happy with the primary’s and election in 2016 and wrote a guest post about not having a military general (or similar) running for president other than politicians.

Now that you know where I’m coming from my question is “Would Ron consider Trump A statesman?”

Just wondering. Have a good weekend.

So I forwarded the e-mail to Ron and here is his reply.

Ron on.

Boy, that’s a loaded question. Problem is . . . how do most people define the term.

To me a statesman has to start off with some experience in the arena. He can’t just pop up and jump in the center ring, take the baton, and start directing the show. He needs to have a few battle scars, some bruises, some setbacks, and a brass ring or two for his efforts. The tux is just for show.

He also needs some kind of goal, purpose, dream, vision . . . whatever. He needs to be in touch with what’s happening now while remaining focused on where he wants to steer the ship and anchor it years from now.

He certainly needs some principles, some core beliefs to serve as his foundation, his anchor, his home base where he can come to lick his wounds when he gets his ass kicked.

He needs to be thoroughly patriotic but willing to listen to dissenters and flibbertigibbets, the Lucys who promise to hold the ball but pull it away at the last minute. And he won’t get very far without being able to both bargain and compromise.

And he needs a reliable bullshit detector, a gift of gab, and some patience with strange people from strange lands with strange customs and strange ideas.

That’s just for starters.

So, does DJT have all that? Well, yes and no.

No experience in gummint. None. Plenty of management practice, but not law or any of that stuff. Prob’ly plenty in the bargaining and compromise area, but not the sausage factory of legislation, with its corruption, stalling, backstabbing, posturing, and so on.

Can he take charge of thangs? Oh, yeah. No lack of cojones, and plenty of self-assurance. Necessary in the job or you wind up like a Jimmah. And he doesn’t have that fatal flaw that choked Dubya – hesitation in firing slackers and dipshits.

Does he have a vision? Oh, yeah. And a good one: quit allowing the UN and China and other entities to take advantage of us, steal our technology, undercut our products with subsidies that price us out of competition with cheap labor and substandard materials.

And I believe he’s remained focused on that vision, that goal. Also, I believe he has the patience and the willingness to listen. And when his detector goes off, he has the stones to throw the bullshit flag and get realistic with socialists and various idiots such as Sanders and Warren, completely ignoring the loons such as Waters and Cummings.

He knows how to behave in mixed company, but sometimes prefers not to pose behind a phony façade of culture and sophistication but to call a spade a goddam spade and arrested-development tools the fools that they are.

He’s a businessman, a manager, but not a meddler. He has strong ideas, but sometimes his opinion can change faster than I change my socks. On the core stuff, tho, I think he’s solid. Still, he LOVES the attention and will deliberately bait people to get a reaction. He got TONS of free press during the campaign by shooting off his mouth on controversial issues . . . saved a pile of money. He manipulates the MSM like a puppetmaster.

Statesman? Not really, but then neither was Teddy Roosevelt. Neither was Soetoro. And some of our well-bred experienced government types never accomplished a goddam thing while in office – JFK, LBJ, Slick . . . .

Ron off.

I disagree. LBJ gave us the Great Fucking Society which has totally screwed this country. Slick set sexual harassment enforcement back 20 years.

Ron on.

So, all things considered, he’s a kinda in-your-face, media-whore, camera-hog Ronnie RayGun who came along just when he was needed to blow the friggin cobwebs outta the rotunda and crack open a few of the bilge valves to start draining the D.C. swamp.

At LEAST as much of a statesman as Soetoro, all considered, and MORE so than some of the other phony wannabes, the Warrens, the Pelosis, the Clintons, the Sanderses. The REAL question is whether he showed up soon enough and if the entrenched career politicians will let him get some things done before it’s too late and we topple over the edge.

Howzat just offa the toppa my head? Sounds like what you’d write, n’est ce-pas? Send it to him if you like. BTW, does he know I write a rant every day and you publish about 2 of ‘em a month?

Ron off.

Actually, I publish a Ron rant once a week and every now an then when I get lazy I throw in a bonus rant. I’ve told Ron many times that he could write his own blog. Fortunately he hasn’t so I have a guaranteed good post once a week.

Keep in mind that Ron didn’t think much of Trump during the primaries but has since warmed up to him.

Leonard Is A Racist Maroon

Every Sunday the Atlanta Urinal and Constipation publishes an op-ed by Leonard Pitts. Invariably the column is about RACISM! RACISM! RACISM! He’s a one trick pony. This past Sunday’s column was no different.

I am not looking forward to April 4.

In fact, I’ve been dreading it for months. April 4 is, of course, the 50th anniversary of the day Martin Luther King was murdered in Memphis. As such, it is one of those days when a president is called upon for wise words of summation and honor.

Unfortunately, the president to whom that task now falls is Donald Trump.

I’n mot looking forward to that date either since we will be inundated with the gnashing of teeth and wailing about how we lost a great man. Of course, nothing about how this man’s message about judging people by the content of their character and not the color of theor skin has been totally ignored by racists like Pitts who only sees skin color.

The churning in my stomach at the remembrance of that fact is a visceral reminder of just how much President Obama spoiled us all. Particularly African Americans.

Spoiled you? How? By setting race relations back 50 years? Is that what you mean by spoiling Africans in America? Obungler was one of the worst things to have happened to Africans in America.

For eight years, through black folks’ milestones and tragedies, the one thing we could depend upon was that our joy and pain would be reflected back to us and communicated out from us with compassion, insight and eloquence. When we commemorated the 50th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, President Obama reminded us how the sacrifices of ordinary people on an ordinary bridge venerated freedom and inspired the unfree around the world. When we mourned Rev. Clementa Pinckney and eight other people massacred in a church for the crime of being black, he reminded us how amazing is grace.

And telling Africans in America that all of their problems were due to white people.

Nearly every time black people needed him to speak to our sorrows, history or aspirations, Barack Obama rose to the occasion. Now April 4 looms, and it occurs to me there is literally nothing Donald Trump can say that will be equal to the moment.

Because he is white.

Maybe someone will write him some eloquent words, and he’ll read them with that stilted cadence and squinty glare he uses when trying to seem presidential. Or maybe he’ll point out that there were “some very fine people on both sides” of the Civil Rights Movement.

It doesn’t matter. One will be as meaningless as the other. He will fall short of the moment, not because he is white — either President Bill Clinton or President George W. Bush would certainly do a fine job — but rather, because he is Trump. He has no credibility here.

GMAFB! You would say the same things about Bush if he were president and you were dumb enough to fall for BJ’s schtick. By the way Leonard, black people did better under both Bushes and Reagan than they did under Obumbler, and guess what, they are doing better under that racist Trump than they did under Oblunder. The unemployment rate for Africans in America is now at an historic low under that evil racist Trump. But Obongo was black and did a real good job at reading words off a TelePrompTer and BJ bit his lip.

By contrast, President Obama seemed tailored for such moments, as if sent from some celestial Central Casting to testify to the possibilities and potential inherent in black lives — as if built in some lab to remind African Americans to persevere and dream because … look what can happen when we do.

You are correct there. He was created by the Dimocrats to appeal to dumb Africans like yourself. Alas, he was an empty suit who spoke in platitudes and accomplished nothing but setting race relations back fifty years. He was all style but no substance.

Sadly, the guy who replaced him is a reminder, too: America is still America. And in America, a thrice married white guy can support an accused child molester, reportedly pay off porn stars, muse about being president for life and support confiscating guns without due process, yet remain, for many of us, morally preferable to a black guy who has been married to the same woman going on 26 years, never supported a child molester, never paid off a porn star, always respected the peaceful transfer of power and never spoken of confiscating guns, much less without due process.

JHFC Leonard, get a grip. Your guy politicized and weaponized the IRS and the FBI. He used the FBI to spy on Trump and helped Crooked Cankles try to rig an election. That is someone who is for the peaceful transfer of power? So Trump paid off a porn star? Big deal. He was a private citizen. BJ Clinton, whom you adore, raped a woman when he was AG of Arkansas. He also paid off a woman he sexually harassed when he was governor of Arkansas. Remember Paula Jones. He also sexually harassed a chubby intern when he was president and you supported him so GFY with your sanctimonious bullshit.

The same people who professed to find sinister tidings in the black guy’s birth certificate, childhood and work as a community organizer cheer the white guy as he daily soils himself and the Oval Office. Martin Luther King would have known exactly what to make of such moral hypocrisy.

Speaking of moral hypocrisy MLK was a serial philanderer as well, but he was black so that was OK. And as for soiling the Oval office? Howza ’bout BJ playing hide the cigar with Monica? That was really soiling the office.

So the best thing Trump can do for us on April 4 is to ignore it. Go golfing at Mar-a-Lago. Give Stormy Daniels a ring. Have some cake. Meantime, the rest of us will honor the radical prophet who died calling on America to vindicate its noble promises – something America still struggles to do, 50 years later.

Something that African leaders seem to have forgotten as they ignore his words and judge people by skin color rather than the content of their character. Something Jug Hussein Ears Downgrade did as well during his eight years in office. Whitey bad. Blacks good. Lionize thugs like St. Trayvon of Skittles and St. Michael of Swisher Sweets. Obummer sent three people to St. Michael’s funeral but sent no one to Margaret Thatcher’s. You do the same thing Lenny. It’s all skin color to you. And another thing Obooger consistently failed to honor the military and I had similar feelings. Don’t dishonor our military by your presence.

Yes, by the simple fact of his existence, Barack Obama reminds us how far we’ve come toward that goal.

But Trump reminds us how very far we have yet to go.

And as long as we have racist bigots like you we’ll never get there. Once again, already Africans are doing better under Trump than they did under your hero. African unemployment is at an historic low but the useful idiots in the Congressional Black Caucus wouldn’t applaud that. You’d rather return to the halcyon days of the Obamessiah where he talked a lot but did nothing but raise racial resentment. Just like you.

Fun On Twitter

There’s a dude on Twitter who goes by the name of Sean Spicier. It’s obviously a parody account, except to unhinged liberals progressives rat bastard commies who can’t tell the difference between Spicer and Spicier. They think this guy is the real Sean Spicer. Anyhoo, he comes up with some hilarious tweets like the following:

Or this one:

He always makes my day.

Another guy I like is Rex Tillersom.

The best part of Twitter are the parody accounts and how liberals progressives rat bastard commies think they are real and react accordingly.

Monday Pun 3-12-2018

I started at IBM in the Office Products Mattel Division fixing typewriters and dictation equipment. My friend Phil sent me this pun which really brought back memories. BTW, the Selectric typewriter was a really neat machine. I remember seeing them in the Navy in the 60’s and wondering how they worked. I found out in 1973.

Sunday Metal 3-11-2018

Before Emerson,Lake, and Palmer, Greg Lake was the bassist and lead vocalist for King Crimson. When he left King Crimson he was replace by John Wetton who had a very similar voice. Later, in a turnabout, Lake replaced Wetton in Asia. Alas, both of them have now passed on, Lake in 2016, Wetton in 2017, both of cancer. I saw King Crimson live once and was disappointed since they didn’t play their best song, In the Court of the Crimson King.
