The Fugue from Bach’s Lute Suite in C Minor.
The Fugue from Bach’s Lute Suite in C Minor.
It’s Summer so it’s time for tan lines. From Pres. (more…)
Lots of assholes on parade at the reparations hearings. Here’s the deal. We’ve paid reparations many times over in welfare, food stamps, and public housing. And just look at how much we’re wasted on public housing by having to tear down the projects that the Africans destroyed. Then there is affirmative action. More reparations. Now there is Diversity (All Hail Diversity!) which is nothing more than the rebranding of affirmative action.
But I have to give the award to AOC for her concentration camp comments this week. As one of my commenters said, “The only “concentration camps” in history that people will climb a fence to get into.”
Didja see that latest from Accidental-Kotex (Dimocrat Twit, New York)? She claims we’re running concentration camps on the southern border. Yeah, sure. The next thing she’ll say is that we’re firing up the ovens. Can you believe this booger eatin’ moh-ron actually graduated from a good college? The only people dumber than her are the people who elected her.
One of my readers sent me an email with a speech one of his friends wrote that he wishes Trump would deliver.
“A member of Congress has pointed out that we are running concentration camps along our southern border. That is such a grievous charge that I have ordered the Border Patrol to close the holding facilities and the southern border until further notice, All of those who were in those facilities are free to go, unlike the camps that were referred to by the Congressperson. All are free to go! They can go anywhere they want, except here in the United States. They don’t have that right. So they can return to whence they last came: Mexico. And then wherever they want. The United Stares of America is not running concentration camps anywhere and will not run the risk of being perceived, labeled or portrayed as running Nazi death camps. Congress pointed out the problem, I am awaiting their solution. So until Congress comes up with legislation to solve the border problem, I have stopped all immigration!
I want to thank Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for bringing this travesty to our attention!”
What about the irony that someone as anti-Semitic as AOC is comparing detention centers on our southern border to Nazi death camps? Amazing. This is the face of today’s Dimocrat Party. I don’t care how moderate your Dimocrat representative claims to be a vote for him/her is a vote for this inane twit.
Ron got his computer working again. Here’s his latest.
Somethin woke me around 0330 . . . think it was a passing rain squall. Came in here to read some blogs, which doesn’t do my state of mind any good these days with the constant clamor for immediate impeachment from the TDS mob and the clarion call of sweet socialism by loons with fancy degrees and multiple homes.
The Left’s new chant, when they’re not on the Down-With-Trump bandwagon, is “Make Communism Great Again.” Pelosi can’t decide which to surrender to . . . the noisy Cortez Kids on the far left demanding impeachment or the silent decomposition of her remaining cortex by Alzheimer’s.
The socialist/welfare state is just a big three-card-monte con game. First it takes people’s money away from them and then slowly gives it back to them with a big show. The greatest threat to implementing socialism is basic arithmetic.
At the bottom line, Socialism is a left-wing, bleeding-heart, fatally flawed Robin-Hood syndrome flavored with saccharine-sweet wussified sentimentality for deadbeats, loafers, freeloaders, foreigners, and other career parasites.
The utterly dismal success rate of socialism in every nation where it’s been implemented exposes the suggestion of resuscitating its corpse for the umpteenth time as an idea that only dilettantes, neophytes, delusional romantics, and ivory-tower intellectuals can contemplate over cucumber salad and chilled Chablis.
What the anti-capitalists refuse to see is that the only thing that has ever kept socialist nations afloat in the real world in massive cash infusions from successful capitalist nations. It may look good on paper, but in theory it works out about as well as Prohibition, the UN, and Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society.”
People such as Warren and Sanders and AOC use it as a kind of cause celebre, a feel-good, philanthropic, humanitarian panacea for lifting the poor out of poverty and deprivation . . . . with somebody else’s bucks.
The problem is that the highway to economic collapse is paved with unearned entitlements, especially for millions of foreigners who don’t even belong in the country in the first place.
The socialists rant about how capitalism exploits the worker: just a bunch of rich elites taking advantage of people trying to make a living. But the truth is that socialism is by its nature a flip-flop of that idea, with the workers taking advantage of the people with the investment capital that created jobs for them to begin with.
It’s just a wealth redistribution scheme for which nobody has yet even defined, much less designed, a safety net for when it fails. There’s no Halfway House Rehabilitation Center or Monitored Withdrawal Program or Betty Ford Clinic for addiction to socialism.
Its typical end product is colossal waste of resources through classic mismanagement, capital flight, factory shutdowns, infrastructure collapse, and eventual bloody revolution. I think it was Churchill who said that capitalism is the unequal sharing of wealth while socialism is the equal sharing of misery.
And it’s rather ironic to me that many of those advocating socialism are people who have become millionaires in our capitalist schema . . . Warren, Sanders, O’Rourke . . . more than willing to spread OTHER people’s accumulated wealth around, but clinging fiercely to their own, like Hollywood elites who oppose both guns and Trump’s wall but live inside walled compounds guarded by men with guns.
Yeah, it’s a fun dream, an interesting parlor discussion, a utopian fantasy . . . but the thing about dreams and BS sessions and fantasies is that at some point you have to snap out of them and go back into reality. ‘Cuz if you hang out too long in that alternate state, the only cure for your delusion is sleeping in your own filth on the streets as they do in America’s premiere socialist sanctuary Shangri-la . . . San Fran ShitShow.
Trump did it again. He triggered mass Trump Derangement Syndrome. He called Prince Charles the Prince of Whales in a tweet.
The first I heard of this was when I sent an old girlfriend who still lives in St. Louis an email of congratulations for the St. Louis Blues winning the Stanley Cup. In her reply she asked me if I was proud of Trump tweeting the Prince of Whales. I knew she was a liberal Dimocrat. She idolized the Kennedys and had a bust of JFK.
I replied that I was proud of voting for Trump since we are experiencing the best economy in 50 years and this racist misogynist president has created record low unemployment for blacks, Hispanics, and women. I asked if she was proud of voting for someone who had enabled a serial sexual harasser like BJ Clinton.
Of course she had to come back with Trump banging porn stars. Seeing that the TDS was strong with her I simply replied, “MAGA! ;-)”
Isn’t it amazing that after the Kennedys, LBJ (who claimed he got more pussy than JFK), John Edwards, BJ, and who knows how many other Dimocrats now it matters that a politician is banging women? If Trump were a Dimocrat banging Stormy Daniels and Karen MacDougal would be a resume enhancer.
It’s amazing how Dimocrats can pivot 180 degrees instantaneously. Clinton dodging the draft was just fine but Bush not going to Viet Nam disqualified him. Military service was not important when draft dodger Clinton ran against two war heroes Bush 41 and Bob Dole. Dan Blather came up with some fake documents from the Texas Air National Guard to paint Bush 43 as a shirker when “war hero” Flipper ran against him. They spin so quickly it makes you dizzy.
Look at Comey. He was a hero when he let Crooked Cankles off the hook. He was a villain when he temporarily reopened the investigation right before the election. Then, when Trump fired him he became a hero again. The trouble is, no one told the NPC Dimocrats. When the firing was announced on Colbert and on the Spew, the NPCs in the audience applauded, much to the chagrin of Colbert and the harpies on the Spew. No one had bothered to tell the NPCs that Comey had become a hero again.
It’s really hard to keep track of the Dimocrats and their constant spinning. One thing I do know. Trumps tweets are guaranteed to trigger TDS. It reminds me of when Lincoln was asked about what he thought of Grant’s drinking. He supposedly replied, “Find out what he’s drinking and send a case to all of my other generals.” That’s how I feel about Trump. Send his spine and sense of humor to the rest of the Republicans.
From Pres.
An assistant to Nancy Pelosi told her she had a fantastic dream last night. “There was a humongous parade in Washington celebrating Pelosi. Millions lined the parade route, cheering when Nancy went past. Bands were playing; children were throwing confetti into the air; there were balloons everywhere. It was the biggest celebration Washington had ever seen.”
Nancy was very impressed and said, “That’s really great! By the way, how did I look in your dream? Was my hair okay?”
Her assistant said, “I couldn’t tell, the casket was closed.
What makes this joke even funnier is that no one would show up for a parade of Speaker Blinky even if she were dead. They could have a parade in San Fagisco but they would have to clean up all the poop first.
From Jon.
