Speaking of Buffoons

Trump said an armada was being sent toward North Korea as a show of force. What a dope!  Ha ha. He's not as smart and sophisticated as expert political commentator Richard Wolffe! [More]

Thing is, that was in fact a new plan, albeit there was a Pentagon timing miscommunication in re a scheduled commitment elsewhere first. But Trump making a general off-the-cuff statement during a live interview is proof positive of what a "dangerous buffoon" he is.

Unlike professionally competent Richard Wolffe, who with the benefit of all the resources at his fingertips and plenty of time to compose exactly what he wanted to say, concluded a couple week before the election:

Trump was heading to clear victory through the primaries; he’s heading to a clear defeat now.

It's not being right that matters -- it's how smart you think you are.

Why Johnny Can't Read

Or in this case, add. [More]

When the "revolution" they're pushing for comes, along with resultant hard times and forceful competiton for the basics, a lot of useful idiots are going to find out what happens to useless eaters-cum-cannibal food.

Unclear on the Concept

"Julian Assange has no First Amendment freedoms. He's sitting in an Embassy in London. He's not a US citizen," Pompeo said. [More]

Remember the acknowledgement about 2A from Cruikshank that was cited in Heller?

“[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence."

ALL people have rights. They are "endowed by our Creator" (or inherent to the condition of being human for you secularists out there).

The fact that usurpers ignore that, and presume individual entitlements are privileges they have "authority" to  bestow or withhold, reflects on them.

The Big Lie

Repeat SPLC smears often enough... [More]

The following is easily verifiable:

1. Oath Keepers is not a militia.
2. Bylaws preclude any Oath Keeper from being a member if he espouses racism or overthrowing the government.
3. Members were in Ferguson to protect individuals and store owners who wanted their help and were grateful for receiving it. Their presence was lawful and businesses under their watch did not burn due to the OK deterrent.

Not that I expect Angela Ruggiero and her handlers at the East Bay Times to do minimal research, to give a damn about the truth and to correct a record that does not support a preferred narrative. Nor do I expect the stammering politician to do anything but distance himself from controversy.

We're the Only Ones Retaliatory Enough

If the police pull over a driver and the driver indicates he will refuse to answer any police questions, does it violate the Constitution for the police to retaliate against the driver to punish him for refusing to answer their questions? [More]

Of course it does.

I believed they've overplayed their hand and cannot look for a base of support from any other than the disgruntled fringe. It's not like the Vietnam-era protests, where Middle America had a stake in questioning an unpopular war. These sociopaths of no achievements want to destroy Middle America.

We see them getting coverage disproportionate to their numbers. But those numbers are limited to safe space campuses and on occasion to urban events where TV eyeballs are guaranteed.  Now think how many you don't see in real life, at the store, in your neighborhood, at the places you frequent.

If you don't go looking for them, chances are you won't see them.

I mean, just look at how few followers all the Antifa Twitter sites have -- I have more than most of them, and I'm a nobody. And those aren't real-world commitments.

It reminds me of a line I once read about such American losers in a book -- I can't remember exactly which one and by whom -- that goes something like:

Communists are people who get their insides all twisted up because they want to rule the world and can't even get their letters to the editor published.

On top of it all, they generate zero sympathy and instead elicit head-shaking, disgust -- and fear among those who fail to realize their own power and responsibilities.

There's a great opportunity here to follow the money and to go after those who "knew or should have known" what they were enabling when violence and destruction result, both civilly and via RICO actions now that Mr. Sessions is running DoJ.

Death Wish

It’s time for members of the Republican Caucus, who enjoy the veto-proof majority that gun-voters like you gave them, to get the job done. If they won’t, perhaps they should confess that they were never really serious about the pro-gun stance they professed to take while vying for your vote ... GRNC cannot and will not promote or support politicians who say one thing on the campaign trail, but won’t put their words into action once in Raleigh. [More]

The Lowest of the Low

Monsters working for the state that falsify evidence and/or knowingly use that to help obtain convictions of innocent people deserve to be sentenced to two years for each year their victims unjustifiably served. If what they lied about results in an execution, they deserve to pay the ultimate price. [More]
