It's A Bird, It's A Plane, It's A Wang.....IT'S DERPY DERP!

Too-dee-doo.

Google: Don't be evil.
Still Google: We''ll be evil.

I have to be careful because blogger is owned by Google and I've grown increasingly troubled by its parent company Alphabet and its questionable - if not unconscionable behaviour towards conservatives.

I think they're fully capable of abusing their immense power and just shutting this blog and all the years put into it.

I hope I'm wrong.

Right Google?

Prove to us you're not evil.

And engaging in fake ass woke bull shit virtue signalling doesn't count.

Is it me or has Google dropped the 'don't be evil'?

Moving away from this first world problems.

New Yorkers and Californians continue their exodus.

I'd like to think they'll leave their bad habits and ideas behind but I'm guessing they won't and will import their nonsense elsewhere.

"States that some Americans have already begun leaving for are Florida, Texas and Nevada, all three of which have no individual income tax."

Where they will demand to have an income tax, more regulations and more recycling bins because 'muh civilization'.

In the movie A Bronx Tale, Sonny Lo Specchio said, Nobody cares.

You people who took on roles that are now considered unWOKE. Be very, very quiet. They're coming for you.

You can't make this stuff up: An ACTRESS who is pretending to be someone else played a role in a horribly racist film in 1915 ("Birth of a Nation). She was not racist herself. But @bgsu students demand her name be removed from a theater.

****

The WOKEBA (aka NBA) is leading a most important progressive charge.

This one really blows my mind as a student of history.

It's a stupid word that millionaire black athletes decided to speciously claim it's inherently hurtful. Draymond Green can buy and sell 99% of the population on credit if he so desires. Funny how things have reversed itself, eh? As such, he can straight off go fuck himself with this nonsense. 

Which is a crock of shit. That white people weren't slaves or were slave owners doesn't a) preclude them from having an opinion and b) is demonstrably false. Whites were slaves. You can only think this if a) you're an illiterate ignoramus and b) choose to believe slavery begins and ends with American slavery.

There's a certain level of narcissism at play here. Blacks don't own history. Even slave history. Their experience is part of a broader human experience. They may want to in order to perhaps shakedown American taxpayers through reparations, but their position is growing increasingly tenable when they demand people today pay for sins of the past. 

It was a period in time. One that is a part of the American experience. Many blacks today are completely cut off from it now and are no different than other groups or cultures who were once upon a time slaves. To demand whites - many of whom are immigrants who came after slavery and were perhaps even descendants of slaves themselves - pay blacks  who probably weren't even descendants of blacks is preposterous. 

The injustice of it - morally and intellectually - is potentially toxic for a nation not being allowed to move forward. 

Democrats are hell bent on ramming through ideas that while on the surface are claimed to be 'righting injustice' in fact create whole new versions of it. Take student forgiveness. Sure, forgive it. But that would be a horrible precedent to the extent it signals to citizens 'hey, you mess up. Don't worry. We'll force taxpayers who didn't mess up to cover you mess.' Never mind pissing off people who dutifully paid off their own damn debts.

Last week I heard Dan LeBatard on ESPN about this topic. I don’t listen to ESPN but from time to time I like Le Batard for the humour. But when he delves into this stuff, he comes off as a  tiresome SJW posing as a ‘reasonable voice’. 

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Basically, it was ‘why does it matter?’ and ‘what’s it to us white privileged folks what word we use?’ and ‘if it offends, just change it’ and ‘it’s not the same that Draymond Green describes himself as an ‘owner’ since white people were never ‘owned’. 

I mean really shallow stuff from an ostensibly literate person. 

A couple of thoughts off the top of my head.

If it doesn't matter, why bother to make an issue of it in the first place? Either it matters or it doesn't.

 Are we forever to be made slaves - excuse the pun - to social engineering the modern vernacular for episodes and events of the past sometimes pulled completely out of context? What happens when someone takes issue with another word they deem to hold a negative impact because of slavery?

All roads end at ‘slavery’ it sounds like. If it happened during slavery and someone takes offence, then it must change. Never mind the word ‘owner’ predates American slavery.

And then comes this false narrative about whites and the institution of slavery. You may be passionate about American slavery but you don't get to act and speak as though all its roads there.

For instance, I’m stunned at the absolute persistence and prevalence in the belief that “white people were never owned.” Plenty of white Christians were enslaved throughout history including the Irish (Indentured slaves). The Children's Crusade is another heartbreaking example of Europeans being captured and sold into slavery. The Ottomans, moreover, enslaved great numbers of Europeans during their reign as empire. 

It's unacceptable that among the “college educated” it is common to have very little idea of the scale and scope of human slavery. Do people not read anymore? Judging by the astonishing 'concentration camps' claims made, it sounds like the answer is simply 'no'.

To continue.The biggest slave traders in history were Arabs (and Islam) and slavery still exists in certain parts of the Middle East. 

Not Americans who didn't directly traffic slaves. In fact, in the annals of history, black American slavery is a piss in the bucket. It's actually - evil as it was - benign compared to other examples in world history of which there are many stretching back thousands and thousands of years.

The vast majority, moreover, of the Atlantic slave trade went down to Brazil and the Caribbean to the tune of millions whereas the numbers that ended up in America were in the hundreds of thousands. The vast majority ended up in Arab lands where they eventually were killed off. At least, in America blacks ended up - after much heartache - gaining their freedom and even thriving in the long run. 

Like Draymond Green, Oprah and Danny Glover; assuming they're descendants of slaves.

All this is to simply highlight it's not uniquely American and obsessing over stupid words does sweet fuck all.

It's but a feature of human misery unfortunately. 

The immaturity of it all is astonishing.

"In the 476 months that he’s been in office, Donald Trump has made it abundantly clear that he would like the earth to die in a fire—literally. In that time he has abandoned the Paris climate agreement; unveiled a proposal to freeze rules on planet-warming pollution from cars and trucks; claimed wind turbines aren’t a viable source of energy because the sound they make “causes cancer”; and hired a guy who believes carbon dioxide has been demonized like “Jews under Hitler” to discredit the findings of 13 federal agencies that increased levels of CO2 pose a national emergency. But it was only today that his pièce de résistance, when it comes to letting climate change really rip, was officially put into place."

Oh the humanity. 

Party and people of science and reason right there.

"The jury sided with the Gibsons — a decision with profoundly disturbing implications for free speech at Oberlin and on college campuses across an increasingly authoritarian country. Conservative commentators often talk about a supposed crisis of free speech on campuses, wherein students wield the sword of political correctness to silence dissenting opinions. To the contrary, this verdict is a real warning shot against free speech. The fact that those same commentators have widely lauded the verdict reveals their hypocrisy and lays their thinly-veiled agenda bare."

Oh. The projection.

I thought words and speech have consequences.

****

Wayfair jumps in on the selective outrage act.

Everyday Obama must laugh his ass off.

More Derp In A Plastic Cup!

DO you woke bro?

It's all kinds of preaching of virtue signalling.

I really feel bad for these girls.

Someone made the astute point that they're stuck. If they complain about biological males who transitioned, they will be branded as bigots or racists.

Or in this case, face passive-aggressive and unjust backlash from coaches.

What a sad, sorry, state of affairs.

Time to reign this in a little.

The girls are right and are getting screwed.

****

Selective outrage is what the left does best.

Of course, the immigration detention problem was around under Obama but he's their boy, you know? Can't ever take Obama to task, what, with him being the first black President and all.

Narratives over the truth.

Now the latest is Ocasio-Cortez - Ms. McMarxist from the Bronx - made a total ass of herself visiting the facilities lying through her big teeth.

If these people are so virtuous and righteous, they would have been screaming and bitching about this years ago.

But they're not. They just hate Trump. 

How much? They're willing to start wars with Iran because he chose not to. 

That's how much.

The hypocrisy is blinding. Reminds me of when Barry said he wasn't for gay marriage but then 'evolved' from it (I bet he privately isn't for it) and then he was on Ellen dancing to show how hip he was.

Quite the disingenuous scene.

****

There are people who, when faced with this stark hypocrisy, shout 'what aboutism!' and 'deflection.'

No it isn't. Answer the damn question. WERE YOU OUTRAGED IN 2014?

No you weren't.

Once again showing principals over principles.

Quick Takes

Descartes: I think, therefore I am.

Guilt by association AND guilty until proven innocent are legal concepts the left have come to accept.

Until it happens to them of course.

Remember the story of Kitty Genovese's murder?

What made this remarkable episode all the more intriguing is the fact that 38 witnesses (though the number has ranged from 37 to 47. Not that it matters) saw or heard the attack and not only did nothing but did not go and help her.

They just silently closed their drapes so to speak.

This is how I view the liberal media and general overall apathy of citizens of the West when it comes to Christian persecution and murders in Africa and the Middle East.

Oh, it's real. I've read pieces on progressive sites either down playing or denying it. Sort of how they said there is no border crisis and that it was manufactured.

At the moment, one can use the car thermometer on your dash as a metaphor for the zeitgeist. When you see the needle on the meter warning your engine is over heating you add anti-freeze to cool it.

Right now, our civilization in the West needs some cooling.

And you're not getting it from the progressive left or the Democrat and Liberal parties. They want to over heat and melt the engine. Once the car stops functioning (the people), they will add their own anti-freeze and take control.

Except, the engine is already destroyed.

USWNT Are An Unlikable Bunch

Someone forwarded me a Tweet from Bill Simmons where he praises a pose by Megan Rapinoe after a goal.

I found it odd to be proud of such an image because it exuded smug arrogance.

A feature, not a bug with the USWNT.

Note Alex Morgan's (the striker claimed to be as good as....Lionel Messi) goal against England where she ran to the sideline and mimicked drinking a cup of tea.

Stuff you essentially don't see on the men's side because, well, it wouldn't be tolerated and it's sophomoric.

I perused through the comments and was surprised - though not shocked - how some seem to think Rapinoe is some kind of trail blazing social justice pioneer while accepting such antics.

She's a soccer player. Keep it in perspective.

No doubt they're a dominant force in women's soccer and deserve all the praise for their performance on the field but their conduct as professionals really leaves much to be desired.

I don't know about those people in the Twitter feed, but a) I was always taught when playing to show respect to your opponents and their fans and b) I make sure to teach my daughter humility and respect.

I just don't see it with this team - and even past teams. USA soccer needs to clean that up a little lest their image be one where people respect but hate.

They're an easy team to root against.

And to listen to sports writers gush over this nonsense is equally as classless.

They're all the 'Ugly American' personified.

Enemies Of The People

You know, it's kinda easy to believe the media is the enemy of the people. Media and big tech in fact.

Just look at how they closed ranks with Antifa blaming Andy Ngo for being attacked by a violent mob.

How is this siding with the people?

It isn't.

And people are slowly coming to this realization.

Always recall, when totalitarians ruled Europe, the liberal media praised them.

From Reason's newsletter:

"Shamefully, media outlets excused the behavior. The Huffington Post carries the headline "Far-Right Extremists Wanted Blood In Portland’s Streets. Once Again, They Got It” above a story that never pinpoints the attackers. The New York Times’ Charlie Warzel and Politico’s Alheli Picazo all but blame the victim in their tweets."

Any questions?

Clip Of The Day

Paging Mr. Godwin. Paging Godwin.

I find it amusing how left-wing publications like Mother Jones defend this illiberal ignoramus framing it as though conservatives are mistreating and bullying her.

Can't be because of the content of what she says. Nope. It's because the right are terrible and are 'afraid of her'.

I'll concede that point. Decent and literate minds do fear her because we know exactly what her 'ideas' and behaviour lead to. Mass misery and failure.

She clearly is willing to exaggerate if not lie to keep herself relevant.

This person. This Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn't principled.

She's a hysterical totalitarian.

Tread carefully with this idiot America.

Other than that it infuriates me we're at the point in Western culture where these sorts of videos have to be made to remind how stupid some people are.

Concentration camps. Get out of here with that shit you miserable and insufferable buffoon Ocasio-Cortez.

And pick up a book or two. It'll do you good you goof ball.

Antifa Is Violence

Derp? Burp

Nike continues to be fake-woke.

Fuck Nike and fuck Colin and his ignorance.

DON'T MESS THIS UP NEW BALANCE.

And other sports apparel companies I deal with. I spend a lot on sports clothes.

Nike is out.

'You're out Tom'. Michael Corleone.

****

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is basically a psychotic, narcissistic, dramatic liar. Worse, she clearly is letting power get to her head. Could you imagine this illiberal dingbat with real power?

She'll maniacally starve a people while she feasts on filet mignon.

We've seen her socialist type many times to know.

Sadly, I don't expect her to lose her job.

****

Speaking of left-wing progressive drama queens.

Remember that guy Maza (YouTube are such idiots. Just like the clowns running Twitter) when he told people to assault others with milkshakes?

I mean, what's the big deal right? It's just a milkshake.

Yeh. Not quite.

Behind their 'love' rhetoric lie dark, authoritarian impulses. They've very bad people inside.

About them cages:

“I’ve been to that facility, where they talk about cages. That facility was built under President Obama under (Homeland Security) Secretary Jeh Johnson. I was there because I was there when it was built,” said Thomas Homan, who was Obama’s executive associate director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement for nearly four years.

A sane and sober explanation at Slate.

Obviously, nothing bad happened under the Light Bringer Obama because he was too classy a guy to do such things.

Hate crimes hoaxes happen more than you think.

Bill Kristol is no conservative. He's a neo-conservative. Which basically translates into fake progressive conservatism. In essence, he's just your run of the mill left-wing war hawk.

Aaaand last but not least.

Fall of the West reason #499566.

"A year after students began a petition to remove the traditional California “mission bell” from campus, the University of California Santa Cruz has capitulated to demands, announcing Friday that the bell will be removed.

California mission bells mark the path of the historic El Camino Real, the 700-mile trail that connected the 21 California Spanish missions. The bells are a common way of recognizing state history and have marked the route of the El Camino Real since 1906. Hundreds of them line the trail to this day."

We're majority Christian. Simple as that.

No need to apologize for this fact. It's who we are. It's the base root of our civilization. Out entire moral, legal and economic structure are based on Judeo-Christian Western principles.

The idea we have to run from this because people take offence is preposterous.

Given the zeitgeist this position is seen as 'nationalism' but it isn't.

And quite frankly I scarce give a rat's ass what the left thinks.

Imperfect we are but the move to erase our collective cultural heritage to spare someone or some group's feelings doesn't help move a civilization forward. It denies its identity and but can only foster ill-will, cynicism and anger.

We can be open, tolerant and sensitive without erasing our memory and past.

It should stop.

The other part I consider unacceptable is the heroic and genius work missionaries did across the world. This may be news to modern leftists, but they were actually appreciated by the places they visited. We focus on the negative parts but the positive way outweigh it.

For example, French and Italian missionaries (Father Ricci is a famous one) in China helped foster an exchange of ideas the Chinese accepted and admired. Texts were translated into French and Chinese that we learned from.

Alas, these days, with the illiberal, irrational mindset running rampant, these nuggets of our glorious past are forgotten if not outright despised.

*****

I saved this for last.

It's about the infanticide law Andrew Cuomo passed in New York. When I mentioned this law to groups of friends on two separate occasions, NOT ONE person (among about 10) heard of this.

When they read up on it, they were thoroughly troubled.

None of these people are 'extremists' on any level. Just your run of the mill, non-political, citizen that considers themselves to be centrists or mildly to the left or right of centre.

Every single one of them thought Cuomo and NY to not be progressive but murderous.

I'm happy.

But what perplexed me - and them - was how they missed it.

So I asked about if they heard about Alabama and they all did.

And there you go.

It's the way media reports and relays these stories the problem.

They didn't promote Cuomo's law because well 'it's progressive and hip!' Alabama though are just icky hicks.

They didn't provide the context that Alabama's law is in reaction to the insanity pushed by first Virginia and later New York.

What a shame.

But boy do Planned Parenthood get their attention, eh?

Sorry honey. No one with a properly calibrated moral compass buys your garbage anymore. I'm glad the comments were having none of it too.

Life is like a needle on a car thermometer. If it goes to far to the right over heating, you need to be anti-freeze.

This is where we're at in society.

At the anti-freeze part.

More On Portland

*Scratches Portland off places to visit.

We like to visit different spots in America but I gotta say, the left-wing nut jobs running Washington and Oregon aren't gonna be one of them.

Here's what a city looks like run by Woke SJW creeps:

How in the world the media lets this disgusting bunch of assholes in Antifa get away with this is absurd beyond belief.

They harp on and on about 'white supremacists' and yet all you have to do is go to youtube (and Liveleak) and punch in 'Antifa violence' and you see a steady stream of disturbing behaviour from that terror group.

The other obscenity is they often get misdeamnours or not faced with serious criminal charges.

This is how you lose your city quick.

Wheeler indeed needs to resign.





Now look up San Francisco and 'homeless tents' and 'shit and piss in street.'

And they want to stop Trump from being elected?

People.

It's not Trump the problem.

It's the far left maniacs running the cities.

As an aside, Trudeau is basically in the Wheeler mould.

Meet The Clowns: Ted Wheeler

How. Fricken. Bloody. Tone. Deaf. Can Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler be?

Here's a coward of a man refusing to once and for all deal with the violence perpetuated by Antifa by ordering police to stand down and he has the gall to post this?

Antifa are cowards. Illiterate illiberal totalitarian thugs. They have run amok in U.S. cities without having to account for their actions as well having the media cover its sorry ass.

With this alliance, it's not hard to wonder and think media and Antifa are enemy of free peoples.

But this Ted Wheeler guy.

Wow.

In his own streets Antifa violently attacks Andy Ngo and he does nothing? Does he silently believe Ngo 'deserved it' because he's conservative? A gay conservative by the way. And Asian.

According to Wheeler's own left-wing narrative this is a hate crime, no?

Remember all the assholes screaming and laughing 'it's just a milshake?' Yeh, well that escalated to milkshake filled with quick drying cement. Ngo actually suffered a brain bleed.

Hear that Ted? While you were swishing and loving life after telling police to stand down, your thoughtless and irresponsible actions nearly cost a man's life.

Wouldn't surprise me if this asshole doubles down and even begins to bash Trump when he actually condones and contributes to uncivil and violent behaviour in his own city.

This is what we call a clown.

Maybe the Feds need to step in?

What are law enforcement and political officials god damn waiting for? For someone to die?

A kid almost did when a professor smashed his skull in with a bike lock.

Look.

It's simple. These are mentally unstable and nihilistic elements causing all this division and violence. By not having them to account for their actions, you simply enable them.

They're not fighting 'Nazis'. Only a pea-brained moron blinded by vapid SJW doctrines could believe there are 'Nazis' in sufficient numbers to justify such behaviour.

Deal with this shit once and for all.

Start by getting rid of clowns like Wheeler.

These narcissistic twits and their 'look at me' pics only fuel the anger.

Go back and hike on some mountain Ted. You're not helping and are part of the problem.

A True Anti-War Activist Has Died

Libertarian anti-war activist Justin Raimondo has died.

This guy was no fake.

Unlike the faux-righteous, virtue signalling, fake anti-war activists on the progressive left who only care about war when they're guy ain't doing the killing.

Where were they when Barry 'Turns out I'm good at killing' Obama was prosecuting wars?

Right. Now they're pretending to care about kids in detention centres. 'Cages' of 'concentration camps' built in.....2015 under Obama.

Grandpa Gulag Extraordinaire

This is just a shameless post selling my brand. I could stand to brag a bit more about my work. Alas, it's just not in my bones to do so.

I've come up with a lot of names and phrases here over the years. A lot.

Since not too many people read it, whatever I do say that happens to get picked up won't get attributed back. Nature of the game and all that.

I've never really catalogued my 'inventions' but two stand out because I've seen them used.

The most popular is Zoolander for Justin Trudeau. I know this sounds a stretch but I've been calling this ideologue Zoolander for years. It's only when he was elected did I put it down on print early in the game. Can it be others thought it too and the same time? Absolutely. But I was among the first - and I read and watch a lot of news - to broadcast it.

Another one I use is 'Poptart Lasagne' (with an emphasis on the Italian spelling of Anglicized 'Lasagna'.).

Another is tagging the illiberal communist Bernie Sanders as Grandpa Gulag. This may be easier to trace back as I posted this on Reason magazine a few years back. A couple of commenters expressed their love of that term.

Lately, I've been calling AOC 'McMarxist' or 'McMarxist from the Bronx'.

I'm working on a name to describe both as a duo.

A more capable mind who knows how to run down traces would be able to determine the origins of both.

Either way. It doesn't matter. The nicknames are perfect.

They belong to the world now.

Use them responsibly.

Preferably when drunk.

Meet The Clowns

Same as the old clowns.

Deodorants were created to solve a fake problem and thrived thanks to the patriarch

It goes on to say:

Deodorants were first sold in the late 1800s, with antiperspirants following shortly thereafter. But it took a bit of time for the concept of masking and/or stopping sweat to take off. Early marketing campaigns, as journalist Sarah Everts has reported, were designed to make women—and they were first marketed just to women—embarrassed about the entire concept of perspiration.

I don't subscribe to the Peak Derp theory (just like I didn't with peak oil) but sometimes they manage to challenge my belief.

Um. No.

Factually false but what else is new from a pack of ignoramuses who believe the United States set up concentration camps?

There’s evidence from the ancient world where the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans created various concoctions attempting to stop the sweating or control arm pit odour. 

This sort of anti-capitalist 'journalism' is tiresome and so easily refutable it's pathetically comical. 

We get it. Corporations are out to oppress wahmin.

Which brings us to Meet the Clowns and one Jon Cooper. A chap with a bad case of TDS.

He makes much of the fact Trump lost his Hollywood star. We get it celebrities. You're all progressive wokes. 

But what was hilarious was his reasoning as he claims he doesn't share their 'values'?

What values might those be? Tolerance and diversity of idea and ideals? Yeh, no. Adultery, promiscuity and drug and alcohol addiction? We all know Hollywood is free of those, amirite?

The last thing this freak show of a place should be claiming is the higher moral grounds against Trump.

They have riled themselves up into such a frenzy over the border and 'concentration camps' they speciously fall into false equivalency traps. For example, one meme going around is connecting Trump's large crowds to the crowds Hitler used to get. 

There's much more to this. It seems the left want to die on the immigration hill.  They didn't seem to give a crap when it was happening under Obama nor did the care much about the fact set records for deportations. They didn't seem to care about those families then.

They've moved on from the anti-war game. After all, their guy Barry was fond of using violence.

Had Trump said 'I'm good at killing', I think they'd just about fall dead. But it was their guy so all is good.

Donald Trump will go down in history as the first American president to have willingly betrayed his own country in service to a foreign enemy. His acts of treason will be taught in history books for generations to come, and the name “Trump” will become synonymous with treachery.

Love how these people just KNOW how things will turn out. What the heck is it with the hubris and arrogance? 

I suppose they *can* to the extent they get to write the history books.

Hence, Obama was fine and dandy and all class and a top 15 President.

In the end, all they've got is hyperbole. 

Trump Showing He's An Anti-War President; Unlike His Predecessor

‘Turns out I’m really good at killing people’. Obama

Donald Trump is sticking to his guns. Excuse the pun.

With the usual suspects clamouring for war - from Bolton to military advisors to some in the media - Trump seems to have calculated it's simply not worth it - especially over a stupid shoot down of a robot drone.

And he's right.

Iran isn't worth it. It's an unstable region filled with douchebags. Why kill innocent Iranians and sacrifice American servicemen lives? For a guy who 'hates Muslims' he sure knows how to avoid conflict with them.

Trump is reminiscent of Reagan in that he has rebuilt the army and has it standing on guard ready to deploy when absolutely necessary.

America is not under threat so no need to cause pain and suffering.

Of course, like he refused to bomb Syria, he's taking grief from all sides for his correct stance.

At the moment, his Presidency is a successful one defying all odds. Maybe he wants to build on that and a war with Iran will jeopardize his shot at a good and just Presidency.

Turns out Trump is more humane than Obama. 

****

"...proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone. I am in no hurry, our Military is rebuilt, new, and ready to go, by far the best in the world. Sanctions are biting & more added last night. Iran can NEVER have Nuclear Weapons, not against the USA, and not against the WORLD!"

How anyone can find anything wrong with this is beyond me.

It takes real guts to not give the bastards blood.

Alas, Bill Kristol and his psycho, faux-righteous, fake conservative fans thinks he's not a human being. What a travesty of a mess.

You know. I don't give a shit he's an asshole. He doesn't murder.

Americans have grown too accustomed to 'bombing the shit' out of countries.

He should be commended for bucking a trend the last four Presidents have engaged in. 

He also refrained, it should be noted, from bombing Syria and took major grief for that.

Trump got the left to defend MS-13 (among other things) and is now showing how the whole system lusts for war for its own sake.

Like I said. Real balls. 

Clinical Breakthrough Made As Doctors Perform Surgery In Utero

"Cleveland Clinic has successfully performed its first in utero fetal surgery to repair a spina bifida birth defect in a nearly 23-week-old fetus."

Hmm. Still think late term abortion or infanticide is acceptable?

By successfully repairing the defect before birth, we’re allowing this child to have the best possible outcome and significantly improve her quality of life,” 

Not if Democrats have their way.

As technology innovates, it puts more and more a dent in pro-choice arguments specifically those that claim a fetus is not a life. This is one example. The invention of ultra sound is another. Try and tell parents once they see their child in the womb if they think it's not living. 

As for the notion a baby can't take care of itself. Well, that's the case for our kids for years. The law even determines adulthood to be 18 years. Before then, they're minors and in the custody of parents precisely because society and the law say they can't take care of themselves without adult supervision. 

Heck, sometimes I wonder if adults can think for or take care of themselves. Should we kill them too?

At this point, I think they've over reached. Especially with the infanticide shit. 

Stay tuned.

Babylon Bee is on it. Snopes will soon be fact checking their story.

They totally nailed Kmala Harris. 

Plus this:

"Democrats have called for a removal of the "cruel and shocking" video from the internet so that no more people have to be subjected to the idea that an unborn child is still a child."

You wanted your culture war. You got it.

****

But if you think any of this causes them to reconsider their position, all I can say is HONK! HONK! They're doubling down.

NY man Andrew Cuomo has decided his state will pay for abortions for our out of state customers. 

Why not? He has already said people who disagree with his faux-righteous virtue signalling ass are not welcomed in his state. So it's not surprising he will use tax dollars even though some taxpayers may object. Maybe as pro-lifers or maybe just plain on the grounds it's inappropriate.

Or, as I think, immoral.

Andrew. Non ti vergogna? Non sei imbarazzato? 

Democrats Are Rudderless Intellectually And Morally

In the modern Democrat party you will hear:

Appeals for reparations.

Quote Of The Day

‘The Democrats don’t care about Russia, they only care about their own political power. They went after my family, my business, my finances, my employees, almost everyone that I’ve ever known or worked with,’ he argued. ‘But they are really going after you. That’s what it’s all about. It’s not about us, it’s about you. They tried to erase your vote, erase your legacy of the greatest campaign and the greatest election probably in the history of our country.’

Donald Trump, June 2019.

This guy gives excellent speeches. It's a shame it doesn't get more coverage or people (on the left) don't actually read the content of many of his speeches, but I've found them to really solid.

Far better than Obama who was alleged to be a great soaring orator. Which I never understood. 

The Stupendous Shocking Ignorance And Stupidity Of Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (And Her Defenders)

Just when you thought you can't think of anything dumber she can possibly utter, she comes up with this:

"This administration has established concentration camps on the southern border of the United States for immigrants, where they are being brutalized with dehumanizing conditions and dying. This is not hyperbole. It is the conclusion of expert analysis"

That this idiot never actually read a history book is painfully obvious. To those of us who do and are students of history, this is an affront to our collective understanding of what happened in WWII.

And the arrogance of her doubling down leaves me to just accept she wants to wallow in an illiberal world of abject ignorance so long as she gets to rage at the machine.

Of course, make a preposterous and patently false analogy and claim the response to be 'hyperbole' is her tiresome shtick but rebut we must lest she corrodes minds.

"You have to be really stupid to take me literal!"

"And for the shrieking Republicans who don’t know the difference: concentration camps are not the same as death camps. Concentration camps are considered by experts as “the mass detention of civilians without trial. And that’s exactly what this administration is doing.

No, Alexandria you twat (twits are those of you who think she's right. The reaction is strong enough. Your ignorance is inexcusable. Calling what's going on at the U.S. border 'concentration camps' is wrong.

And really, there's one reason why it is. The German Nazi government was singling out, rounding up and throwing jails without trial into concentration camps as a conduit to killing them and committing mass genocide.

Or the camps in Soviet Russia for that matter but by using the term 'never again' she implies she's referring to the Holocaust.

Example:

Buchenwald was one of the first and the largest of the concentration camps within Germany's 1937 borders. Many actual or suspected communists were among the first internees. 

Prisoners from all over Europe and the Soviet Union—Jews, Poles and other Slavs, the mentally ill and physically disabled, political prisoners, Romani people, Freemasons, criminals, homosexuals, and prisoners of war—worked primarily as forced labor in local armaments factories. The insufficient food and poor conditions, as well as deliberate executions, led to 56,000 deaths at Buchenwald of the 250,000 prisoners who passed through the camp. The camp gained notoriety when it was liberated by the United States Army in 1945; Allied commander Dwight D. Eisenhower visited one of its subcamps.
From 1945 to 1950, the camp was used by the Soviet occupation authorities as an internment camp, NKVD special camp Nr. 2.  Between August 1945 and the dissolution on March 1, 1950, 28,455 prisoners, including 1,000 women, were held by the Soviet Union at Buchenwald. A total of 7,113 people died in Special Camp Number 2, according to the Soviet records. They were buried in mass graves in the woods surrounding the camp. Their relatives did not receive any notification of their deaths.

Now try and tell me it's the same as what's going on the U.S./Mexico border. I fucken dare you.

In order for your assertion to be accurate, the United States would be guilty of singling out and rounding up migrants and throwing them in a concentration camp in order to kill them.

How people freely running and gunning for the U.S. border makes America the bad guy is beyond comprehension. And troubling. It's troubling because little Marxists like Alexandria are purposefully poisoning the well for political expediency and contributes to the widening gap of what is true and fake. I also missed the part where the Americans are using them as slave labor.

Moreover, the Nazis didn't try to save lives like Customs and border agents try. To suggest these men and women helping to keep the borders secure somehow are part of a concentration camp - all to stick to Trump it should be noted. As if this wasn't happening under past administrations. If she cares so much then give him the money he wants because part of it is for humanitarian use. The Democrats have refused to budge because it's likely they like to use this story to pretend Trump is Literally Hitler   - is beyond the pale.

Best part? Unlike a real concentration camp, they're free to leave.

This tart would have been better off comparing it to the internment camps we had in both Canada and the U.S., for Japanese, Italian, German and Ukrainian citizens. But it still would have been wrong.

If you can't see the intellectual degeneracy of your position put this way, then you're just an anti-American miseducated sophist of the worst kind.

She makes my blood curl and boil.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a disgusting human being for this insinuation.

I despise her.

Update.

The semantics regarding the definition of a concentration camp on display by various people is astounding.

One guy said 'if people are concentrated in one camp' then it's a 'concentration camp'. Another argued concentration camps lead to 'death camps'.

Nothing of the sort will happen because as noted above the Americans aren't maliciously and illegally rounding people up. People are basically crashing the border and they can't be processed fast enough.

They're not doing so on U.S. soil and they're not doing it in Mexico. Call it whatever you want (detention centres, temporary processing centres whatever) but concentration camps as they've come to be understood, they're fucking not.

Asking people to pretend the Nazis and Soviets didn't run concentration camps is absurd.

Ostensibly there are similarities but there isn't. Defending this point actually does a disservice to the people trying to do their jobs to protect their nation.

All this politicization of this word (and AOC knew damn well what she was doing when she invoked) is driven by the left's hate of Trump. Simple as that.

I'll leave it to cooler heads to investigate what's actually happening.

Chris Hayes is right. Mike Godwin - unless he actually visited the sites as most Democrat politicians haven't - is wrong. Hayes is the sensible one while Godwin Godwinned himself and lent himself to hyperbole.

I'm greatly troubled that words like these and 'genocide' no longer have common meaning and understanding. My take on them don't coincide with what I've been reading from people defending AOC.

Very disappointing stuff.

These semantics games defending her makes me think that they'd defend her and Sanders assertion that a 27% interest rate on a $500 credit card purchase would result in a $136 extra charge.

They'd say, if I understand progthink correctly, 'well, technically she's right! It would be $136 in total for the year!'Assuming they knew it was an APR.

Except that's not what they meant. They said, $136 for the month (hence giving the impression it would be $136 x 12). So you'd get a 'AOC is technically right!'

They're doing the same thing here.

They take a term that has come to be known and understood as a place of nothing but darkness and evil as perpetuated by Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia (as it was taught during my years of history studies in university. I think we had more moral clarity back then it looks like), and then ask people to forget that part and stick to the actual definition of the term (while asking you to further suspend belief into thinking there are no illegal aliens) to support their assertion there are concentration camps  set up by the USA. Worse, they seem to imply if Americans are okay with it, they're like Germans who were indifferent which eventually led to death camps.

They're further not telling you what actually happened in those camps. I provided a glimpse up top.

That's one mighty looonnnnnggggg dubious assertion man.

It got where I started reading scholars again concentration camps in Germany were encouraged by the USA. That's when it's time to get off the ride.

And they say Alex Jones is nuts.
