This makes me very very sad

And also pisses me off.

Rachelle Bond appears the epitome of the “special interest” that the Occupy movement avoided talking about but ultimately represented. She subsisted off welfare, with speculation rampant about whether she kept collecting checks after the death of her daughter. She lived in Section 8 housing provided by the government. Before her boyfriend took away her third child, the state took away Rachelle Bond’s first and second to raise them for her—or at least secure people who loved kids more than crack to do so. Rachelle Bond’s interest in Occupy succeeding appears something akin to Lockheed Martin’s interest in the defense budget exploding.

Now see folks, here's where I explain that I may not have ever been on welfare, but I've been poor enough to have welfare folks as my neighbors.

A huge, huge number of welfare folks are much like Rachelle Bond.  This is the dirty little secret that the Left doesn't want you to know.  They want to raise the hue and cry about poor, starving waifs and those just "down on their luck" who need help.  The actual number of people who NEED Welfare because they don't have any other options is a hell of a lot smaller than the number of people ON Welfare.  Way too many of them are just like Rachelle Bond - parasitic druggies who live off of society while sleeping, smoking, snorting and whoring their entire pathetic life away.  

Oh, and they vote.  They always vote for more of your money to go into their coffers.  Rachel Bond was an Obama voter, folks.  I guarantee it.  I'd bet my paycheck on it, with the caveat that she may have voted for someone in the Communist Party USA instead, only because they offered to take even MORE money away from the productive and give to the parasites.

Does it suck that Rachelle Bond is a worthless crack whore?  Yes, yes it does.  Should we pull money away from some guy raising a family and give it to Bond so that she can continue being a crack whore on the taxpayer's dollar?  Nope.  Not just no, but fuck no with cheese.

Will Rachelle Bond die if she gets kicked off of Welfare.  Probably.  She's so toxic that her own family doesn't want her around.  But that is not a good enough reason to keep funding her crack whore lifestyle.  If she dies, use her as an example of who and what not to be.  But she shouldn't be receiving one damn dime of my tax money.

And neither should the rest of the crack whores on welfare.  

Is it satire? Yes.

But still....

Make-A-Wish Foundation helps Dying Vet get Day of Attention from VA.

Ex-Navy Petty Officer Eric Powell has received mostly bad news since discovering he had terminal cancer 16 months ago. But thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Powell had a very good day Monday, as the charity known for San Francisco’s Batkid adventure helped Powell achieve his dream of getting any attention at all from the Department of Veterans Affairs. 

“All I really wanted was to talk to a live person, instead of endless menus and ‘hang up and try again later’ messages,” Powell said. “Well, Make-a-Wish accomplished that, and a whole lot more!” he added, with a gigantic smile. 

Powell, 26, of Port Angeles,Wash., was diagnosed in mid-2014 with an aggressive form of thyroid cancer. He worked on nuclear reactors on Navy ships and is believed to have exceeded his Roentgen exposure after participating in the US response to the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan. 

“We normally only work with children,” said Make-A-Wish spokesman Charlie Herndon. “But Eric’s faith that the country he served so nobly would not ignore or betray him was so childlike in its naivete that we decided we could make an exception.”

I'm going to add them to the blogroll.

My father always dispensed wisdom

And often, I in my youth ignored it for the time being.  But much of it stuck, including the little nugget that you should surround yourself with the kind of people you want to be.  It's a little twist on the "You're known by the company you keep" wisdom.

So what brings this up?  I was reading over at John C. Wright's blog, and came across this paragraph:

(I note in passing that back when I was an atheist, neither did my fellow atheists and I ask for help from strangers when we suffered, nor did we volunteer to help, nor was their any help to give. Atheism is a cold universe, and there is only cold comfort there. Even if God should turn out to be a dream and a delusion, sharing even an imaginary warmth is an act of love and goodfellowship is better than the real coldheartedness godlessness produces.)

I think that I would enjoy being around Mr. Wright very much, if only for the education I would receive in the proper use of the English language.

More than that through is the cold hard truth encompassed by that statement up above.  Even if God were a dream instead of a reality, I would much prefer to live with that dream than live in a world where nobody even cares about God.  I've seen those worlds, by the way, and they're not pleasant or pretty places.

The Rise of the Sexbot

OK, so that's a little tongue in cheek there, but it's an actual thing apparently.  And Milo Yana...  Yianooupppou...  That Milo guy from Breitbart says that women should fear it for more than the obvious reasons.

Women were told by feminists that they could “have it all” — the career, the husband, the kids and the book club. But it was a lie. What they’ve ended up with instead is a tiny apartment in an “up and coming” bit of town, friends they hate, a string of disastrous and emotionally unfulfilling past relationships and a cat. 

Had the relations between the sexes been healthier today, there wouldn’t be much call for sexbots to get in the way. Women already had the upper hand, sexually. They had what men wanted. There’s a reason the Ashley Madison leak showed that the site was over 90 per cent male. 

But gender relations in the West are at their worst for fifty years, possibly more, which is why popular men’s bloggers are now asking whether sexbots will replace women entirely. The consensus seems to be: for some men, yes, totally. For other men, they will become a masturbation tool. A few “alphas” and players at the top will be able to bang their way around the entire female population, which will be comprised of ever more neurotic, backstabbing and insane behaviour.

It's pretty simple - Men need to be wanted.  Feminism essentially tells women that they don't need one of those stinking, knuckledragging, sexist, misogynist neanderthals in their life.  And so the women who swallow that lie tend to eject the men from their lives, either deliberately or through their behaviors.  And the men leave.

Because men can still get a level of camaraderie from other men.  That's why there were so many men's clubs of various types for years.  Athletic clubs, political clubs, gentleman's clubs (before the term was corrupted to it's modern definition).  Even today, there's recreational sports leagues all over the country, as well as thousands of informal get-togethers that are pretty much male dominated.  Men can leave, and still find a way to be happy.

Women can not.

Sorry ladies.  Milo is right on this.  Men can always find ways to attain status that doesn't include a woman.  And yes, women can attain status on their own as well, but for what?  What, exactly, does a woman want?  She wants it all, of course.  She swallowed the lie that she could have it all, and now she wants it all, but once a woman has swallowed the "have it all" lie it's almost impossible for them to learn what men have known for millennia -

You can't have it all.  You never could.

The question is, what are you willing to live without?  Men seem to be willing to live without a long-term female companion these days, because they don't want to subject themselves to yet another feminist Marxist who's internalized the message of "all men are evil scum who must be subjugated.  Why put up with that crap when you can have a sex-bot made up to look like Scarlett Johansson?  All the sex without any of the mind-numbing, headache inducing, liberal Feminazi crap.  More to the point, men can and will alway find a woman to have sex with in one form or another.  But as we're seeing, women cannot always find a decent man to share their life with.

And, well, they only have themselves to blame for that.

Doritos goes full-on Social Justice

Morons.  "OH LOOK!  Rainbow colored chips in a rainbow bag for full on gayness!"

Uh, no.  This kind of crap makes me sick.  A snack chip shouldn't become political.  But it has, and it's disgusting.

Piss off, Doritos.

It's Constitution Day in the USA!

I only wish we had a government that followed it.

The establishment still doesn't get it

You can go read the piece which whines about how such great candidates are getting lost in silliness if you wish.  But the GOP and it's enablers still don't get it.

Trump's approval, such as it is, is due entirely to the fact that he is not of the GOP.  That's why the attacks of "HE'S NOT CONSERVATIVE!!!  EEEK  EEEEEEEK!" aren't working.  The same people saying that are the same people who gave us John Boehner and Mitch McConnell, who have worked as hard as possible to give pResident Obama everything he wants.

"He's so rude!  He's mean!  He's un-presidential!"  At this point, politeness is a handicap when dealing with the Democrats.  The Left has called conservatives Nazis, terrorists, hostage-takers, tea baggers (that's still a favorite one today), racists, sexist, misogynists, homophobic, red-necked, sister-humping Jesus freaks.  And then we're told "Oh, but you have to be polite!"

No.  Fuck you.  And fuck that.

Every accusation that the GOP and it's enablers can throw at Trump don't stick because they don't hold water, coming as they do from a bunch of back-stabbing, corrupt, power-hungry, greedy, anti-Constitutional big-government statists.  Because that is what the GOP has become.  And they have shit all over their voting base in order to become what they are.

Well, guess where a lot of those people went?  Yep.  Trump supporters.  They already know the GOP hates them, despises them, holds them in absolute contempt.  The GOP made that clear year after year after year, and nothing has changed.  So tell me, just what attack from the GOP do you think could be successful at this point?

Yeah.  None.  Which is why Trump continues to rise in the polls, no matter how much the GOP attacks him.

Can't wait to see the debate tonight.

A poem for my mornings

And now I need to turn that into a real coffee mug, and bring it into work.

Raping the children that Europeans don't want to rape

Bring in the pedophile followers of a pedophile prophet, and look at what happens.

A little 7 year old girl was brutally raped by a Muslim migrant from North Africa.

She was with her mother in the park and her mother was only a few meters away from here, when a Muslim man dragged her into the bush, hold her mouth shut and raped the little girl brutally. After he finished the rape, he let the girl go and left the crime scene running. It happened quick that the mother did not even notice anything. She first realized it when the seven year old girl came crying to her.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why you should never, ever, ever let large populations of muslims into your country and/or community.  This is what they do back in the Middle East, and they won't stop doing it just because they move to where you are.  Geography is not some magical antidote for centuries of brutal behavior against women and children.

Raping the kids Americans don't want to rape

This time in Kentucky.  A border-jumper was trying to carry away a six year old girl.  And during the investigation, it was discovered that this border-jumper was having sex with the twelve-year-old cousin of the six year old girl.

Let that fact simmer in your brain for a little bit.

I think the folks in Kentucky were a little too polite.  They held the illegal alien pedophile until the cops showed up and collected him.  There are parts of the country where he would have just....

disappeared.

So a movie led to a song which led to IMDB which led to...
