Greetings, all! I hope that you had a great Thanksgiving, and after a day of giving thanks you’ve made the smooth transition to spending the rest of the weekend focusing on material goods! Speaking of not understanding gratitude…

Becasue seeing more kids in orphanages is better – for the children!

Coming soon to the US. My guess is the first stop of this tour will be Minnesota.

I’m surprised that we’re not seeing more counter-insurgency Lawfare. Remember folks, however much these kids may seem like irritating larvae today, these are our private sector’s future Human Resources Directors.

11/29 – Debunking the ‘Trump Is a Racist’ Charge

This may be the most brilliant, lengthy, and thoughtful pieces I’ve seen in a long time. And for some bizarre reason it got published on what may be the slowest news traffic day of the year. Bookmark this page, and share it through whatever networks you have. This piece deserves it.

No archives this week, since most of you are hopefully taking a break from reading about politics and enjoying some good family time. Have a great week!

11/24 – Bummer: Extinction Rebellion Is Too Middle Class, To Whitebread

This week’s edition of “The problem with building coalitions based on identity politics is that eventually your allies run out of other people to hate”

LOL, Ain’t it the truth!
From Why Michelle Obama may jump into the race:
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/11/why_michelle_obama_may_jump_into_the_race.html

Democrats are in denial about the erosion of minority support for them.
This really shouldn’t be a surprise given how the strong Trump economy has benefited minorities.
This contrasts sharply with the decades of neglect and empty promises from Democrats.
Plus, the Democrats collectively are on the wrong side of minorities when it comes to issues like school choice, the LGBT agenda, jobs, and radical abortion rights.

To have any chance nationally, the Democrats’ candidate must overwhelmingly capture the black and Hispanic vote.
None of the leading Democrat candidates is up to that task — not the homosexual from South Bend, not the Fake Indian from Massachusetts, and not Crazy Bernie. Biden sort of comes the closest, but he’ll flop for the reasons mentioned above.

This is where Michelle Obama comes in.

I’ve been saying this for some time.
Either Michelle, Hillary or Oprah.
And Hillary might be the “Extinction Rebellion” of white campaigners…..only she’s rich beyond imagining.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

11/20 – LGBT Agenda Shuts Down Christian Adoption Agency

Well, it is their job to not put adopted children into abusive conditions, so…

11/21 – Minnesota: Civil Rights Lawsuit Filed by Grandmother Threatened with Prosecution for Filming Mosque Violations

So, now pointing out zoning violations the city itself is apparently afraid to address is “harassment”?

11/22 – Italy: Nursery school calls off its Christmas play for fear of offending Muslims

Well, few others will blow you up if you put on a children’s play you don’t like.

11/23 – Climate change activists storm football field, delay Harvard-Yale game

I find the best way to lure supporters to your cause is to ruin a long-awaited event for thousands, if not millions, of people. I see they were all wearing coats as the protested warming.

11/24 – Bummer: Extinction Rebellion Is Too Middle Class, To Whitebread

I guess it’s true what they say; you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your useful idiots.

11/25 – Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: “One reason for high gas prices”

And higher prices hits lower and middle class citizens the hardest. Your socialist government at work, looking out for the little guy.

11/26 – He can’t get a break: The POTUS is attacked for welcoming the hero dog Conan to the White House

Expecting or searching for reason within the left is a waste of time, don’t you think? NYT had a story on Trump signing the bill passed condemning the Chinese oppression of Hong Kong. Because Trump signed the bill, he was roundly criticized for pissing off China. Imagine the liberal reaction he had vetoed the bill.

11/27 – Environmentalists: Thanksgiving, Christmas Holidays’ Carbon Footprint Bad for Planet

This would be a very, very worrisome point were it not for the fact that the entire climate change hoax if a huge load of steaming crap.

11/28 – Violence in Academia

Remember when “students” used to protest for peace?

11/29 – Debunking the ‘Trump Is a Racist’ Charge

But, how can you debunk something to people who are addicted to bunk? It doesn’t matter that Trump has never done ANYTHING racist, it serves the liberal narrative for him to BE racist… therefore, he IS.

@Nan G: Michelle fits the Democrat candidate mold of being a celebrity and a gimmick. The Democrat base LOVES celebrity and gimmicks. Would anyone wonder what Michelle’s actual qualification to lead is? No, but she’s an extension of the Obama utopia of magically convincing people that failure is success.

BUT, Michelle’s candidacy has a major flaw, when it comes to Democrat gimmickry; she would leap-frog the “First Woman President” gimmick and go directly to the “First Black Woman President”. After that, there can never be a “First White Woman President”, it will have to be something like the “First Gay Woman President” (which Michelle may also ruin) or the “First Transexual Woman President” (again…). This would create quite the debate within the DNC.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/british-cops-detain-man-after-london-bridge-knife-attack
from the article:
London has not suffered any major terror incidents since the previous London Bridge attack which took place a few days before the 2017 general election.
reality:
There were 1,299 stabbings in London up to the end of April, according to official statistics from the Met Police.
Looks like knife control is going along swimmingly.

But then there are real heros like Colin, Greta and Bruce Caitlyn Jenner.

@kitt: I’ll bet David Hogg could stop all that knife violence. Beto could go over and confiscate all the knives. Liberals will send “thoughts and prayers”.

@Deplorable Me: Swallwell could bomb all for not giving up their cutlery, as soon as he clears himself from fart-gate.

@Deplorable Me:

Notice the Brits went after the knifer themselves before the bobbies got there. Maybe there is some hope after all and they are tired of being targets for a radical ideology.

Also notice that no one, and I do mean NO ONE is reporting how Trump is now helping the least represented segment of our nation, Native Americans. He has created a task force to find the people who have kidnapped/raped over 5,000 Native American women and children in just one year. It has been a problem for some time now and the last two administrations just ignored it.

Isn’t it funny that in all the “victim” pandering by the left wing (Democrat) candidates, they never mention the poorest segment of our nation, Native Americans in the western states.

November 29, 2019 – House Democrats have passed nearly 400 bills. Trump and Republicans are ignoring them.

There’s a pervasive sense of legislative paralysis gripping Capitol Hill. And it’s been there long before the impeachment inquiry began.

For months, President Donald Trump has fired off tweet missives accusing House Democrats of “getting nothing done in Congress,” and being consumed with impeachment.

Trump may want to look to the Republican-controlled Senate instead. Democrats in the House have been passing bills at a rapid clip; as of November 15, the House has passed nearly 400 bills, not including resolutions. But the House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee estimates 80 percent of those bill have hit a snag in the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is prioritizing confirming judges over passing bills.

Congress has passed just 70 bills into law this year. Granted, it still has one more year in its term, but the number pales in comparison to recent past sessions of Congress, which typically see 300-500 bills passed in two years (and that is even a diminished number from the 700-800 bills passed in the 1970s and 1980s).

Ten of those 70 bills this year have been renaming federal post offices or Veterans Affairs facilities, and many others are related to appropriations or extending programs like the National Flood Insurance Program or the 9/11 victim compensation fund.

This has led to House Democrats decrying McConnell’s so-called “legislative graveyard,” a moniker the Senate majority leader has proudly adopted. McConnell calls himself the “grim reaper” of Democratic legislation he derides as socialist, but many of the bills that never see the Senate floor are bipartisan issues, like a universal background check bill, net neutrality, and reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act.

“From raising the minimum wage to ensuring equal pay, we have passed legislation to raise wages. And we have passed legislation to protect and expand health coverage and bring down prescription drug prices,” House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said in a statement to Vox. “We continue to urge Senator McConnell to take up our bills, many of which are bipartisan.”

McConnell is focused on transforming the federal judiciary instead, with the Senate confirming over 150 of Trump’s nominees to the federal bench. And he has refused to bring Democratic bills to the Senate floor in part to protect vulnerable Republican senators from having to take tough votes that could divide the GOP ahead of the 2020 election. Still, some Senate Republicans fear inaction could make them just as vulnerable.

“I’m very eager to turn from nominations to legislation,” Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) recently told the New York Times’s Carl Hulse. “There are important issues that are pending, and I think we could produce some terrific bills that would be signed into law.”

Trump is accusing Democrats of doing nothing as he refuses to work with them

Lately, Republicans and Trump are accusing Democrats of single-mindedly pursuing impeachment at the detriment of passing bills.

Again, the more accurate picture is that Democrats have been passing a lot of bills in addition to investigating the president. But split control of government and Trump’s fury at being investigated by Democratic committees paralyzed Washington’s legislative functions well before impeachment proceedings began in the fall.

There’s a list at the end of the article of the most significant of the 400 bills passed by the House that have gone no further than McConnell’s bottom desk drawer, many having bipartisan support. The problem isn’t with the House. It’s with Trump and the Senate.

@Greg: Democrats are doing NOTHING but trying to get Trump impeached. They block any substantial legislation that would help anyone but themselves. All the drunken idiot Nancy has to do is bring the USMCA up for a vote… but she’s too drunk and stupid.

@Deplorable Me: We hope the socialist nonsense went to the round file, enough of expanded government control.

@Deplorable Me, #8:

Democrats are doing NOTHING but trying to get Trump impeached.

The long list of substantive bills that have been passed by the House only to be ignored by the republican-led Senate clearly demonstrates that Trump’s claim is total horse shit. Mother McConnell is sitting on a huge backlog of bills like a brood hen in the U.S. Senate to allow Trump to make such a claim without having them stacked up on his own desk in the Oval Office.

Trump & Company are liars. They lie constantly. They lie about EVERYTHING. That the House has done nothing but the impeachment investigation is another lie, as anyone who bothers to look at the legislation the House has passed will see.

@Greg: They are, like Democrats themselves, substantive SHIT.

@Deplorable Me, #11:

Anyone who bothers to look at them will realize that they’re not. Many had bipartisan support in the House.

Trump and McConnell have essentially shut down the Congressional legislative process. They block legislation that would likely be enacted. The only thing they presently give a damn about it keeping the money flowing, resisting investigations, and having a shot at turning the Supreme Court into another of their reliable tools.

@Greg: Make a blanket statement dont list the bi-partisan bills or vote count a few votes doesnt make it bipartisan. They refuse to bring the new nafta to vote so Pelosi sitiing on a few bills herself.
There are 9,633 bills and resolutions currently before the United States Congress

@Greg:

Gee, Comrade Greggie, if it wasn’t for left wing sites, you would have a damn thing to say.

Perhaps McConnell learned that with the first bill that came from the Pelosi lead House there would be nothing but Socialist trash to follow. HB1 is an absolute disaster that would destroy our elections as we know them and is clearly anti-Constitutional.

But then, you being the legal/Constitutional expert you are you already knew that, right?

Those Climate idiots that stormed that football game to unfurl their stupid banners and signs with stupid slogans on them and chant their stupid slogans should all go live in the woods without shelter or heat lets see how long the jerks could last

@Spurwing Plover: We could set them up with a fully off grid cabin they wouldnt last a week they might find the garden but making fire without that petroleum based bic lighter would be fun to see, milk a goat or cow gathering eggs bwahahaha
Sorry kids no signal so you cant google where to plug in the cast iron range. Id bet they never saw a box of matches. Looking for the hot water tap on the hand pump etc…
A 2 week “vacation” on an Amish farm.

@kitt: Want to really stump them?
Tell them there will be full instructions then put those instructions in LONGHAND!

@retire05:

As I’ve previously suggested, if you object to “socialism” so much, send back your Social Security checks and tear up your Medicare card. Otherwise, you’re just a angry and resentful hypocrite.

@Greg: Question is, why do you object to facts so much? I’VE PAID for my benefits; why would I refuse them?

If you like socialism so much, why don’t you move somewhere where everyone ELSE loves it, too? You can probably find some place where they already have a police state, too.

@Deplorable Me:

Apparently Comrade Greggie never bothered to really look at Social “Security” and how it works. Pay into it for 40 plus years. You never get a statement letting you know how much your investment is earning. And pray that you live long enough to at least get back what you paid in without any “earnings.” If you die before you can get all your money back, oh well, it goes into the government coffers, not to your family. And here is the dirty little secret; the more you pay in the longer it takes you to get it back because the government needs to pay those who paid little into the system.

As to Medicare; unfortunately, you never stop paying for that since Medicare Part B is deducted from your Social Security check.

You’re better off paying into a retirement fund that at least earns dividends. In the end, you will get a bigger monthly check like the people who live in counties that opted out of Social Security decades ago.

DM, did you ever wonder if Comrade Greggie is a Russian bot? It would be interesting to track his IP and see exactly where he is posting from.

@retire05: In a way, he’s correct about Social Security being socialism. It was designed to take money from citizens that, by design, they would die before they received any benefit from. Only later did most people begin living long enough to utilize their benefits… TOO long, as far as Social Security is concerned. So, like socialism, it was designed to screw the citizen.

DM, did you ever wonder if Comrade Greggie is a Russian bot? It would be interesting to track his IP and see exactly where he is posting from.

He may or may not be aware he is doing the work of our adversaries. He certainly whole-heartedly supports those who do.

@Brother Bob:

Damned good movie, but that credit to the Japanese troops at the end still got under my skin.

Because is is so damned unnecessary. I prefer what Halsey said just after Pearl Harbor, “When we are done, the only place the Japanese language will be spoken will be Hell.”
