Don’t start none

Won’t BE none. Schlichter reminds ‘em:


Cry me a fucking river, tough guy. I repeat: if Israel really wanted to genocide your worthless proto-Neanderthal asses, every last one of you would’ve been wiped out long ago.

Big Government: It’s scams, all the way down

Change my mind.

The Ivanpah Solar Power Plant, a sprawling 3,500–acre facility in the Mojave Desert near the California–Nevada border, was built with federal support during the stimulus push under Barack Obama’s first administration. The power plant was meant to help revive the American economy after the 2008 financial crisis, while also expanding renewable energy. It features about 350,000 computer-controlled mirrors to go alongside three imposing 459-foot towers. The sun’s power heats water in the towers’ boilers and makes steam, which then creates electricity. Between $730 million and $780 million of a $1.6 billion government–backed loan tied to the project remained unpaid, according to federal data cited by Fox News Digital. The US Treasury also provided a $539 million grant for the project, which covered roughly 30 percent of construction costs. The only thing it has done successfully since it’s inception is to fry birds in flight. Some estimates say at least 6,000 birds per year have met their demise in the magnified sunlight frying pan. Well played, treehuggers…

Know what’s REALLY sad here? That I can’t honestly say that this jug-eared, slope-shouldered chowderhead—Ogabe, in other words—was the worst President this country ever had.

“I was just foolin’ about” “I wasn’t…”

 Ace asks: Do you want to take this kinetic? Because this is how you take this kinetic. Let me make this perfectly clear: YES. Yes, as a matter of fact I DO want to take this kinetic. As seriously awful as that prospect is, the scenario in which we just continue to sit supinely back and permit the Goosesteppin’ Left to destroy what little is left of America That Was is much, much worse.

Which means that all of the following people I sincerely wish to see shot in the face, guillotined, drawn and quartered, keelhauled, set upon by a pack of rabid hyenas, and hanged by the neck until they are dead, dead, DEAD. Before very much more time has elapsed, we have gone full-on Commie, and it’s too fucking late to put a stop to this arrant nonsense.

I mean it: kill them. Kill them all. No, I am not in any way kidding about this. They are oxygen thieves who are unfit to draw breath; merely by their unwanted presence in it do they befoul our God-graced nation. They should be removed, by any and all means necessary. Period fucking DOT.

Play for blood, remember shitlibs?

It’s turtles lies all the way down

Figures a scum-sucker like Stretch Pelosi would know all about it.


I’m getting a lot of use out of that post title tonight, I must say.

He shoots, he scores!

Big points for RFKJ.

The Way RFK Jr. Turned the Tables on This Democrat Was Amazing
Democrats thought they had Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. right where they wanted him. On Friday, Kennedy was on Capitol Hill so that Democrats could grandstand on the HHS budget, the 25th Amendment, and whatever else they needed clips of to include in their fundraising pitches. They thought they could abuse Kennedy and he’d just take it.

They were wrong. Very, very wrong.

During the hearing, Democrats came loaded with their usual talking points about proposed Medicaid changes harming the poor and the sick. What they didn’t anticipate was Kennedy coming armed with numbers that reframed the entire argument. Instead of playing defense, he walked into that hearing room and went on offense.

Kennedy’s central point was straightforward: the administration isn’t cutting Medicaid. It’s cleaning it up.

Then came my favorite moment of the exchange. Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) decided to challenge Kennedy with what he clearly thought was a devastating question. “Have you met with any of the 1.4 million people who have lost their health insurance just this last year from dropping off of Obamacare?” Casar asked. “Have you sat down and talked to those folks about the fact they won’t have their health insurance again?”

The question was stupid, but the implication was obvious. According to Cesar, Kennedy was supposedly indifferent to real Americans losing coverage.

Kennedy’s response was about as devastating as it gets. “They’re almost all illegal immigrants,” he told him.

There was a brief pause before Cesar stuttered his way through a response and then proceeded to talk over Kennedy as he attempted to make a critical point.

“We found 1.5 million illegal immigrants illegally collecting Medicaid,” Kennedy said.

Heh. Go get the goddamned idiots, Sec Kennedy, sir.

Iran: the REAL solution

STRONG HINT: Don’t let’s anybody get sidetracked or distracted by blockades, negotiations, or other pointless pettifoggery. There remains one, and only one, correct answer to the nagging Iran question, and it’s been the same for nigh on fifty (50) years. To wit:

To Blockade or Not Blockade, That Is the Question. But There’s Only One Answer: REGIME CHANGE.
We’ve gone from 4D chess to 4D blockades.

Will it work?

The New York Post says yes: “Trump Brilliantly Calls Iran’s Bluff — With His Own Strait of Hormuz Blockade”

Bloomberg says no: “The Hormuz Blockade Is a Throwdown the U.S. Can’t Win”

Question for the readers: Which outlet is right and which one is wrong?

Answer from the writer: Yes.

The New York Post is correct: Trump’s blockade of a blockade deprives Iran of profiting from ransom payments and/or selling any oil, thus increasing its economic suffering. It weakens one of the mullah’s biggest bargaining chips.

If you assume that Iran is negotiating in good faith, weakening the mullahs’ bargaining position makes tactical sense.

But Bloomberg is also correct: It’s extraordinarily unlikely that Trump can blockade his way to victory, especially in the short term. More likely than not, the blockade would have to last months — if not years — to bear fruit, and for a candidate who ran on the platform of “no more forever wars,” that’s not an attractive option.

Besides, the economic pain will be shouldered unevenly, with the nations that actually care about the welfare of their people screaming far louder than the mullahs. Iran doesn’t mind suffering — as long as everyone else suffers, too.

If you assume that Iran is negotiating in bad faith, a blockade of a blockade is an incremental tit-for-tat escalation that increases everyone’s pain points without bringing us any closer to a real solution.

In other words, it’s a waste of time.

Perhaps a smarter strategy is to hit the mullahs with a threat they dread far more than a blockade. I’m talking about the two words that have horrified Americans since the Iraq War of the early 2000s: regime change.

But not Iraqi-style regime change, where we plant U.S. soldiers overseas and try to build a new government from the ground up in a foreign land. That’s regime building, not regime change.

I simply mean smashing the current regime.

Under President George W. Bush, American foreign policy operated under the “Pottery Barn rule,” which meant, as Secretary of State Colin Powell explained, “If you break it, you own it.”

But why? What prevents us from breaking it and simply walking away?

What’s wrong with regime change WITHOUT regime building?

Egg-zackly, precisely so, and just what I (perhaps mistakenly) assumed the plan had been right from the start. Alas, with his useless “negotiations,” his unconvincing bluster about “destroying civilizations,” and now his “blockade of a blockade” strategery, Trump seems to be wandering farther and farther afield from the lone bone-simple solution that addresses all the concerns any sensible sort might have about the still-intact Mad Mullah regime: nuclear weapons; support for terrorism; menacing anti-American and -Israel with both rhetoric and physical action; the bloody suppression and/or mass murder of anti-regime protesters; et al ad nauseum.

It still shocks me that, after a fine start which saw a cpl/three waves of Ayatollahs righteously taken out by a shitstorm of High Explosive Death From Above, Trump inexplicably halted the bombing and floundered about in search of avenues more acceptable to the namby-pamby Jurassic Media consumers of the world, resulting in the continued survival of the selfsame Mullah goobermint which had started all the trouble way back in Jimmeh Peanuthead’s day.

I say again: if Trump pulls out, declares “victory,” and leaves any kind of entity called “the Islamic Republic of Iran” still intact behind him, then the whole misbegotten enterprise was a complete waste of time, money, materiel, and American lives. The Mullahs must go. There is no acceptable alternative—NONE.

Exit Swallowswell

And good fucking riddance, too. Now if there was only some way of ridding ourselves of the pestilential excrescence Adam Schidt…uhh, Schiff.

Swalwell suspends governor campaign amid sexual misconduct allegations
His exit came after allies and staffers abandoned him en masse.

Eric Swalwell suspended his bid for California governor amid sexual assault and misconduct allegations that threw his campaign into a tailspin, upending the race to lead the nation’s most populous state.

“I am suspending my campaign for Governor,” Swalwell wrote on X on Sunday. “To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.”

He wrote, “I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.”

The Democratic congressman’s exit completed a stunningly swift collapse for a candidate who had shown signs in recent weeks of pulling ahead of a crowded Democratic field, with prominent interest groups and elected officials beginning to coalesce behind him.

But an ex-staffer’s allegation that Swalwell had sexually assaulted her, detailed in a San Francisco Chronicle report and followed by more misconduct allegations in a CNN report, led those allies to abandon Swalwell en masse as high-level staffers departed his campaign.

D卐M☭CRATs, never having been known for staunch loyalty to anyone at all once said personage starts smelling like a possible liability to them, are acting in perfectly typical fashion here. Of course, most of us will remember Swallowswell best for this truly magic moment:

So long, chump, and thanks for all the yocks.

Animals

REMINDER: This is who the D卐M☭CRATs have effectively turned Amerika v2.0 and most of Western Europe over to lock, stock, and barrel.

Someone Please Save the Mannequin From this Little Muslim Boy!
This isn’t an isolated incident in this part of the world.

A disturbing video has gone viral on Indian social media. While Jihad Watch has not independently verified the footage, several local news outlets have reported on it.

The clip shows a very young boy, not older than five or six, standing outside what appears to be a garment store. A mannequin of a young girl, dressed in children’s clothing, seems to draw his attention. The child, wearing a salwar kameez and an Islamic skullcap, then approaches the mannequin.

What follows is profoundly unsettling. The boy begins by inappropriately touching the mannequin’s face and kissing it repeatedly, then pulls at the neckline of the T-shirt, peers inside, inspects the chest, lifts the shirt further, touches the torso, and attempts to remove the jeans by tugging at the drawstrings.

All of this unfolds in broad daylight. A woman in a hijab passes by the scene without reacting, as if nothing unusual is happening. Unable to loosen the drawstring, the boy abandons the attempt and focuses again on the mannequin’s upper body, continuing to touch it repeatedly and forcefully.

The exact location of the video has not been verified; however, the Bangla-language shop signs visible in the video indicate it could be in either West Bengal or Tripura in India or in Bangladesh.

Boys raised in this pre-medieval ideology grow up exposed to rigid and problematic ideas about women, particularly notions that women must always be covered or under male supervision. They grow up seeing social media content by jihad-recruiting pages portraying women as objects whose worth or safety depends on how they dress or behave. One of their widely shared memes compares women to candy, portraying a “covered” piece as safe and desirable, while an “uncovered” one is said to attract insects. Such comparisons reduce women to objects and promote the harmful idea that a woman’s safety or respect depends on how she dresses, rather than on the responsibility of others to behave appropriately. Boys who grow up in these circles, hence, believe it is completely okay to touch, fondle, or sexually assault women who do not conform to their religious values. They are all “maal-e-ganimat,” a.k.a. war booty for them. Have you not heard of grown Muslim men being caught in a Western country for sexually assaulting girls, and the excuse they present in defense is that they didn’t know that rape was illegal? Yes, that’s exactly what we are talking about.

However, the child in the video is not an adult; he is a very young boy. At that age, children in most settings are only beginning to learn the basics; many are still struggling with the alphabet and may not yet be able to recite a simple nursery rhyme. But the skull-cap-wearing boy in his oversized kurta knows every action that translates to sexual assault in the regular world. The possibility that the boy could repeat similar behavior in the presence of a real, unattended girl cannot be ruled out.

“Ruled out”? You jest. It cannot be prevented, more like, which shitlibs don’t actually want to do anyway. Instead of wringing our hands and boo-hoo-hooing about “saving the poor mannequins from the widdle Moslem feral rapists,” it’s time and past time we started thinking about saving ourselves.

A circus of error

Very much related to tonight’s Eyrie post, I fully share Spencer’s disgust with the sudden, serious wrong turn on Iran.

Well, it’s another glorious day, or something. President Donald Trump’s threats against the Islamic Republic of Iran have apparently worked, a “ceasefire” has been concluded, and as he did when he forced Israel to stop fighting Hamas when it had a chance to destroy the jihad terror group once and for all, Trump is once again hailing the dawn of peace in the Middle East:

A big day for World Peace! Iran wants it to happen, they’ve had enough! Likewise, so has everyone else! The United States of America will be helping with the traffic buildup in the Strait of Hormuz. There will be lots of positive action! Big money will be made. Iran can start the reconstruction process. We’ll be loading up with supplies of all kinds, and just “hangin’ around” in order to make sure that everything goes well. I feel confident that it will. Just like we are experiencing in the U.S., this could be the Golden Age of the Middle East!!! President DONALD J. TRUMP

The Islamic Republic of Iran was likewise in a celebratory mood, and in its joyful exuberance, fired off a round or two of celebratory missiles and drones into Israel and the Sunni states that it has targeted since the beginning of this conflict. Fox News’ Trey Yingst reported that on “Ceasefire day 1,” Israel “took multiple waves of Iranian missile fire after the ceasefire was announced. Kuwait reports that more than two dozens drones were launched by Iran since 8am. UAE is currently under an Iranian missile attack. Iran, via state media, reports strikes against Lavan Island and the oil infrastructure there.”

At least eleven people were injured in Israel, and (Iran also) attacked Qatar and Bahrain as well as the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait. The government of Israel says it supports the ceasefire but only if it is real, which it obviously isn’t.

Well, I mean, DUH; of course it isn’t. None but a wilfully blind fool could possibly imagine that it was, and/or would ever be. As the esteemed Mr Spencer closes out his brief, straight to the point essay:

Without military action, which Trump will become progressively less likely to resort to as the midterms approach, the U.S. has no leverage.

If the Islamic Republic of Iran remains in power, it will build up its strength again and then resume its jihad against Israel and the U.S. That’s one of the only two reasons truces are allowed in Islamic law: one is if the Infidel enemy converts to Islam, which is not in play here, and the other is if the enemy is winning, so as to give the warriors of jihad time to regroup and then fight again more effectively.

The Trump administration, like so many others before it, should have studied Islam and realized that the Islamic Republic is serious about Islam above all. Then it would have known that when the Islamic Republic’s leaders showed a willingness to conclude a ceasefire, they were tacitly admitting that they were losing. It was time to press forward to final victory, not to stop fighting. And so another opportunity to rid the world of a jihad threat is lost, another chimera of peace is announced, and the jihadis will rejoice that they have survived to fight another day, as yet another Western government has kicked the can down the road instead of defeating them.

I truly hate having to say it, but that’s precisely what has happened here, to my eternal mystification and deep, deep disappointment. Bitterly clinging to the forlorn belief that this is all part of some Grand Strategic Plan is about as helpful as trying to polish a turd. To quote my own Eyrie piece:

Bottom line: as long as an Ayatollah, any Ayatollah (even one Trump idiotically assures us is a “reasonable” “moderate”), remains in charge of the nation-state entity known as “the Islamic Republic of Iran,” the war ain’t done yet.

Ah, would that t’were not so. But alas, here we all are.

KATN

Jurassic Media propaganda and the rest  of their Leftard partners in crime want you to think that Iran’s Mad Mullahs are kicking American ass and taking Israeli names—ie, that we’re exhausted, out of ammo, dispirited, mere minutes away from throwing in the towel and accepting another crushing defeat to the invincible Pisslamic horde.

As always, you can’t believe a word those serial liars say, nor shoud you.


In its entirety:

Since President Trump revealed contacts with the Islamic Republic, we’re seeing something very telling:

Regime officials are either turning on each other, pointing fingers, accusing one another of negotiating with the United States or in their own media and social platforms, they’re warning against character assassination of figures like Ghalibaf or Rouhani, because suspicion is spreading inside the regime itself.

Some are even calling for arrests or worse. Others are publicly shaming officials, accusing them of secret talks.

This is the atmosphere on the Islamic Republic’s side of social media. Total panic.
inside Iran: chaos at the top.

Is there more, you ask? Why yes, of course there’s more.


The rest of it:

This is an Iranian insider, openly warning: “Do not collaborate with the enemy. Do not assassinate Dr. Ghalibaf’s character.”

The infighting has gotten so bad, regime officials accusing one another of betrayal, right after president Trump said they’re talking to someone inside Iran.

PRO TIP: This is NOT the way a victorious national leadership typically conducts itself. The only sane, sensible response…

Being themselves

Just “liberal” asswarts, doing what they do best.

It Gets Much Worse: Code Pink’s Cuban Commie Vacation Hits a New Low
On Sunday, I wrote about how Code Pink and a bunch of other worthless commies went to Cuba after they put together the “Nuestra América Convoy,” which describes itself as a humanitarian group but is really just some sort of anti-Trump, pro-Cuban regime operation. Cuba’s “president,” Miguel Díaz-Canel, rolled out the red carpet at a convention center, and then the group stayed in a five-star well-lit hotel. I say “well-lit’ because no one else on the island has power, yet oddly this hotel and convention center do.

The convoy also threw themselves a little concert — again, with plenty of electricity to go around — but this wasn’t some sort of opportunity for them to raise money for the Cuban people they claimed they were heading down to support or anything. It was an opportunity to shout things like “F*ck Trump” and “Free Palestine.” I have no data on this, but I’m guessing most Cubans don’t give two cents about Palestine at the moment. They just want electricity so they can eat, study, have water, and keep their sick relatives alive in hospitals.

Call it poverty porn. Call it a communist safari or theme park. Call it the poor people petting zoo. I’ve heard every name under the sun from the Cuban exile community here in the United States. The only thing I can think to call it is one of the most grotesque, exploitative spectacles I’ve ever witnessed.

First up is this guy Hasan Piker. I was not familiar with him until he decided to show up in Cuba and not only exploit the situation on the ground there, but broadcast his little podcast or livestream or whatever it is he does from the fancy hotel where he’s staying. I have since learned more about him and not just the fact that if you look up the term “punchable face,” you’ll probably find his picture somewhere.

The Marxist Piker was born in New Jersey to Turkish parents, but raised as a Muslim in Turkey. He’s 34 years old, he’s a far left influencer, and he has one of the most subscribed-to channels on Twitch. He’s a big Bernie Sanders fan, yet, like his idol, he’s worth millions and just wants socialism for everyone else. He was literally wearing a $700 shirt while he walked the streets. It would take the average working Cuban years to buy something like that.

He also apparently abuses his dog.

So, as I said, this dude decided to waste power by broadcasting from his Cuban hotel on Sunday and letting us all know that the Cuban people simply love having no food or power.

Allow me to share with you one of the most ignorant, privileged quotes I’ve ever heard come out of someone’s mouth:

And he does that thing, too. He’s spot-on as well when he says this Piker twatwaffle has the most eminently punchable face EVAR.


See? Pluperfect weedy, scraggly-ass cuntface, desperately in need of a solid right cross, woontchasay? The article carries on from there, and it’s as thorough a chronicle of douchebag “liberal” cluelessness, arrogance, and self-serving, entitled nastiness as you’ll ever see.

Update! Having approvingly mentioned Churchill earlier and all, I must note that Glenn has put the cherry on top:

“Socialism,” the great Winston Churchill said, “is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.”

“Its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”

In that last part, the prime minster got it wrong.

There’s misery aplenty in any socialist system, but in no sense is that misery shared equally.

Quite the contrary: Members of the ruling class in places like Cuba, North Korea or the old Soviet Union live wildly privileged lives compared to the “workers and peasants” over whom they rule.

That was illustrated this weekend — partly as tragedy, partly as farce — when a delegation of leftists from the anti-American Code Pink and other groups visited Havana to support Cuba’s totalitarian regime.

Plenty more yet, every word of it barbed like a porcupine’s back, and rightly so. Sad thing is, these shitlib drooltards will remain utterly oblivious to their own despicable patronization of Their Inferiors till their dying day, never once imagining themselves as anything other than courageous, generous heroes giving freely of themselves so as to help out the Little Guy. If somebody DID give that Piker twerp a well-deserved poke in the snoot one fine day, he’d never stop being flummoxed at why anybody would want to do such a thing to a swell guy like himself.

The final, fatal plunge

T’uqr takes the last step, goes full Nazi.

Tucker Carlson calls pro-Hitler Oswald Mosley one of Britain’s ‘great war heroes’
Mosley’s only crime, Carlson claimed, was being the leader of the ‘opposition party’ to Churchill

Controversial US podcaster Tucker Carlson has described Oswald Mosley, the pro-Hitler leader of Britain’s short-lived fascist party during the Second World War, as one of the country’s “great war heroes”.

Carlson further claimed this week that Mosley’s “only crime was being the opposition” to Winston Churchill, and that was why he was arrested.

Churchill, according to Carlson, was a person we are “required to deify”, but in fact was a figure who “presided over the imprisonment of his opposition party during the entire length of the war, and their families, and their wives.”

About Mosley and his party, he continued: “Their crime was being the opposition party and being disloyal and unpatriotic, they weren’t.”

Speaking in a video interspersed with images of Mosley doing fascist salutes, Carlson said: “The opposition party was led by a First World War war hero who fought not just as you know, a pilot in the sky but and in the trenches. [He was] one of the great war heroes, former member of parliament, the country ever produced. And he and his compatriots and their wives were interned without charges by Winston Churchill for the duration of the war.”

Mosley was not fact the then-leader of the opposition but founder of the British Union of Fascists (BUF), a minor party that never performed well in elections even at its height in the mid 1930s, and never won a seat in Parliament.

As per usual, T’uqr gets his timelines all jumbled up, commits several patent errors of fact without offering to correct himself, and just generally stomps around beclowning himself in most spectacular fashion.

Mosley was a hapless fascist boob; Churchill was a masterful orator, a bit too much the political animal for my tastes, but ultimately and incontrovertibly (however strenuously the Crackpot Right might wish it were otherwise) a great wartime Prime Minister who held Britain together and saw the England he so deeply loved through its darkest, most desperate hours.

As for T’uqr, he badly needs to do himself a YUUUUGE favor and just keep his mouth shut.

Common sense on the Court

Sounds about right to me. But then, I’m inclined to be sensible like that, see.

Supreme Court sounds skeptical of late-arriving ballots, a Trump target
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ‘s conservative majority on Monday sounded skeptical of state laws that allow the counting of late-arriving mail ballots, a persistent target of President Donald Trump.

A ruling, likely to come by late June, that bars counting ballots arriving after Election Day would send officials scrambling in 14 states and the District of Columbia, just a few months before the 2026 midterm congressional elections to change their ballot rules.

An additional 15 states that have more forgiving deadlines for ballots from military and overseas voters also could be affected.

The legal challenge is part of Trump’s broader attack on most mail balloting, which he has said breeds fraud despite strong evidence to the contrary and years of experience in numerous states. Trump has repeatedly claimed that his loss to Joe Biden in 2020 resulted from fraud even though more than 60 court decisions and his own attorney general said that argument had no merit.

The court heard arguments in a case from Mississippi pitting the state against Trump’s Republican administration and the Republican and Libertarian parties. At issue is whether federal law sets a single Election Day that requires ballots to be both cast by voters and received by state officials.

Via Ace, who adds:

It’s obviously just farming fake votes to steal elections in the unconstitutional overtime period.

And the Justices appear to believe that when the Constitution specifies an Election Day, it means AN Election DAY, not an election week or an election month or an unspecified election period allowing the printing of millions of fake ballots.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that his loss to Joe Biden in 2020 resulted from fraud even though more than 60 court decisions and his own attorney general said that argument had no merit.

1, that’s all false, and 2, this has nothing to do with the actual legal question at hand, which is: When the Constitution speaks of an (singular) Election Day, do they mean it or were they just joshing?

It’s amazing how leftwing communists routinely invent words and penumbras that don’t appear in the Constitution, but, when faced with the Constitution’s actual words, claim “Oh that doesn’t matter, that’s like 100 years old, man.”

“Amazing” isn’t quite strong enough to meet the case, but maybe that’s just cynical ol’ me talking.

“War On Poverty” goes awry

Brought to you by the man who famously (and correctly, alas) predicted, “I’ll have them niggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years.”

‘War on Poverty’ May Have Created a Permanent Underclass, Economists Say
America’s “War on Poverty,” launched by President Lyndon Johnson in 1964, has expanded into a vast array of federal social welfare programs that today exceed $1 trillion per year.

Upon signing the Economic Opportunity Act, Johnson stated: “This is not in any sense a cynical proposal to exploit the poor with a promise of a handout,” but rather a means to “help our people find their footing for a long climb toward a better way of life.”

While poverty has declined significantly over the past half-century, however, recent reports indicate that these programs simultaneously reduced the share of private income for America’s poorest, locking them into long-term dependency and limiting their ability to move up into the middle class.

Gee, who could possibly have seen THAT coming? As Ed reminds us, Reagan did, if no one else:

As President Reagan said in 1987, “In the sixties we waged a war on poverty, and poverty won.”

Looks like, yeah.

Betrayal, served cold and raw

Glenn growls, “SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE FIXED HERE,” and he couldn’t possibly be righter abut that.


The very first response (as of just now) says a real mouthful.


Exactly, precisely so—and yes, by “treating them like the absolute traitors that they are” I most certainly DO mean hanging them by the neck until they are dead, dead, DEAD, why do you ask?

Sorry, but that’s just how I feel. I think about a good and decent patriot like LTC Shah being murdered as a direct result of the sleazy, self-serving political machinations of a shit-slurping maggot like Traitor Jaux Bribem, and my blood boils.

FREEDOM!!!

"There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."

“When I was young I was depressed all the time. But suicide no longer seemed a possibility in my life. At my age there was very little left to kill.”
Charles Bukowski

“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”

"I predict that the Bush administration will be seen by freedom-wishing Americans a generation or two hence as the hinge on the cell door locking up our freedom. When my children are my age, they will not be free in any recognizably traditional American meaning of the word. I’d tell them to emigrate, but there’s nowhere left to go. I am left with nauseating near-conviction that I am a member of the last generation in the history of the world that is minimally truly free."
Donald Sensing

John Adams

"The limits of tyranny are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."
Frederick Douglass

"Give me the media and I will make of any nation a herd of swine."

“I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.”
Ronald Reagan

"Ain't no misunderstanding this war. They want to rule us and aim to do it. We aim not to allow it. All there is to it."
