This guy is me

But I don't make as much money as he does.

Stop Freaking Out about Trump opening the government for THREE WEEKS.

#1 - Trump now gets to give the State of the Union address, and if Granny Rictus tries to block it, it comes down on her.

#2 - I'll let Kurt take it from here.

So we lost this round? So what? We’ve lost before, and we’ll lose again. This is for the long-haul folks. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. There’s no magic wand where one term of Vitamin D cures a century of progressive pathology. 

Trump’s instincts have been right all along. We doubted he could win. He did. We doubted he would actually remake the courts. He has. We doubted he’d fight for the wall, but he did, and he paid a price. Who else would have withstood the heat this long? Who would have even picked the fight? 

Mitt? Jeb!? Chet the Unicorn? 

Name the Republican you want to replace him with. Who’s the guy who is going to stand up to the cultural fascists like Trump? Who’s going to fight for you harder? 

What’s his name? 

***mumble mumble mumble*** 

I CAN’T HEAR YOU! WHAT’S HIS NAME! 

Nobody.

So while people freak out about a three week timeframe, here's what's going to happen.  Trump is going to give the SOTU address with Nancy Pelosi sitting behind him, grimacing and being the raging communist bitch that she is.  And as Trump lays out his case for a border wall, the Democrats are going to act as petty and petulant as they did on the last SOTU speech.  So Trump will give an hour-long argument for the wall, and the Democrats will have to sit there and take it.

Boo-yah.

Classically under-rated

The Cherry Poppin' Daddies.  Yeah, forgive the name, it was the 90's.  But damn, they had talent.



I'm willing to bet there's orchestral musicians who can't hit the notes this guy does on trumpet.

OK, so maybe I'm not on much of a break

Because this shit has my dander up.

At any rate, I have some advice for Sandmann: it wouldn’t have mattered. If Sandman had somehow managed to walk away from Phillips, one (or more) of these things would have almost certainly resulted: Sandmann would have been criticized for disrespecting Phillips by walking away, and/or Phillips would have followed him beating that drum all the while, and/or Phillips would have focused the same technique on another boy.

This whole act that the Democrat-Media complex is putting on, that the kids in D.C. did something wrong, has just gotten me to the point that I want to see every single media outlet that pushed this bullshit line destroyed and reduced to ashes and rubble.  And Nathan Phillips, that lying bastard, should be in jail for the damage he's caused to those kids lives with his lies and bullshit.  Neo is right, it wouldn't have mattered if that kid walked away or stood there or whistled Dixie.  Philips was looking for a reason to scream racism, and there was nothing those kids could do that would have prevented it.  He was going to get his racism charge no matter what, and the media ran with it, just like Phillips knew they would do.

I hope those kids and their families sue the fucking bastards into the ground.  I hope CNN goes bankrupt, along with MSNBC and every other outlet that trashed those kids based off of 30 seconds of a 90 minute video. 

Not reported by the Drive-by Media: Dems block GOP efforts to pay workers

Why did House Dems kill a GOP effort to pay federal workers during the partial shutdown? An aide called it a 'stunt' & 'distraction.'

Translation: We love talking about those folks, but getting them paid would hurt our leverage, so the pain must go on.https://t.co/6rySipgiLX

Congratulations, Democrats!  Your dream of impeaching Trump by refusing to pay Federal employees is working out great!  

We all knew that Democrats didn't really care about the people not getting a paycheck.  It's all political games to them.  They've just confirmed it.  Three times, as a matter of fact.  Fuck the fucking fuckers.

And of course, how much did you hear about this in the media?  I know, I know, it's a rhetorical question.  The media never reports anything that might hurt the Democrat party, which is in fact the party the media belongs to lock stock and barrel.

Taking a knee

The Mrs. has been ill.  Bronchitis.  I've been taking care of her, and now I'm getting it too.

(various words deleted because even I have standards)

So enjoy some music for the next few days, because I'm too damn tired to do anything much.

Maduro out in Venezuela

Something to keep an eye on.  In the meantime, the complete and under destruction of Venezuela under socialism is something that can be used to beat idiots like Alexandria Occasional-Cortex and other Marxists over the head.

Not that it'll do THEM any good, of course.  They're Marxists.  Reality doesn't work on them.  Facts don't work on them.  They are emotionally-driven, ideologically-programmed drones.  It's the folks watching that need to be convinced.

Anybody tried these NeoMags?

A magnetic magazine holder that lets you carry a spare mag in your front pocket.  I have one friend back home who uses it, but he dresses in slacks or business clothing.  I need to know if this thing will keep the magazine in my jeans pocket as I drive around either in a car or on a bike.

Anyone out there tried it?

And this is why Granny Rictus wanted to be Speaker so badly

So that she and her family can go take vacations on the government's dime.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s congressional delegation (CODEL) to Belgium, Egypt and Afghanistan garnered extra attention after President Donald Trump banned her from using military aircraft, but the trip would not have been the first time she used Air Force money to travel the world.
Pelosi’s trip to Italy and Ukraine from July 30 to Aug. 6, 2015, cost the Air Force $184,587.81, according to documents released Saturday under a 2015 Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit by Judicial Watch. Her delegation was made up of nine other members of Congress, including Democratic Reps. Anna Eshoo of California and Marcia Fudge of Ohio.

That's one hell of a bill, eh?

Four family members, including Pelosi’s husband Paul Pelosi, were on the trip. The delegation dined at restaurants including James Beard American Restaurant in Milan, where a five-course meal cost up to $190, according to Fine Dining Lovers. The lawmakers also toured the Vatican and met up with Italian dignitaries, including President Sergio Mattarella and then-Prime Minister Matteo Renzi, according to their itinerary.

As usual with Socialists, they demand that we pay more money in taxes so that they can steal it and live a life of luxury.

Overall, Pelosi’s European excursion cost the Air Force about the same amount of money it would take to send a student to Harvard University for four years. Judicial Watch compared the trip to Republican Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner’s CODEL trip with multiple stops in east Asia in August 2015. The trip led by Gardner, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, cost at least $26,009.03 for commercial flights and per diems, according to records cited by Judicial Watch.

There's more in the article.  Go read it all, and understand that this vile, evil, Marxist hag has been living large off of you and I for over thirty years at this point.  I'm glad Trump cancelled her European Vacation, which by the way she was taking her family with YET AGAIN.

At this point I'm glad that Hell exists, because I know that Nancy Pelosi will be burning in hell for all of eternity.

When National Review goes under, I'll shed a tear for what might have been.

But as for right now, fuck the fucking fuckers.  In case you were actually out enjoying your life instead of watching news this weekend, the Liberal Democrat Media Complex was dog-piling on a bunch of Catholic high school kids for daring to smile while they were being abused after the March for Life.

Apparently, the few remaining non-pedophile Democrats have been feeling left out and needed a way that they, too, could ruin children’s lives. This weekend they found it. A Native American hate crime hoax targeted children from a Christian school, Covington Catholic, wrongly claiming that its students were hateful bigots taunting a defenseless old Native American elder. The truth? They’d been called “faggots” by black Muslim protesters and were deliberately provoked by the indigenous rights activist, a longtime Democrat political operative called Nathan Phillips whose “Vietnam vet” credentials are now being called into question. Far from being smug bullies as reported, Covington students were smiling so as not to get angry at being provoked by black protesters and then by a Native American elder who approached them to taunt them—in other words, they were remaining good-natured out of Christian charity. 

This is what the progressive Left in America does now: Destroy children’s lives for political gain.

We all know that the Democrat Media is the enemy of the people, and they prove it on a daily basis.  But what is sticking in the craw of so many people is how quickly and willingly the supposed "conservative" media jumped on board with the bashing.

That’s all predictable enough. Less predictable was National Review rushing out a now-deleted op-ed accusing the wrongly-accused Covington students of “evil” behavior and claiming they “might as well have just spit on the cross. Or a virtue-signalling Ross Douthat going in on Twitter without having a clue about the facts. You will recall that these are the same people constantly lecturing the rest of us about propriety, manners and restraint.

Deleted, yes, but not a single hint of remorse at publicly excoriating kids who had done nothing wrong, who's lives are now turned upside down as the Leftist hate-mob, aided and abetted by supposed "conservatives", have doxed the kids and their family members over a story that was a complete and utter lie from the very first second it crested on Twitter.

Let’s please remember all this the next time journalists, professors and talking heads on TV tell improbable tales of bigotry and hatred. Aggressive public displays of virtue are where the morally deplorable hide, which is how you know all politicians are scumbags, why social justice warriors always turn out to be perverts and felons, and why you can be confident assuming the majority of journalists are repellent, ethically sickening people. Especially the ones who claim to be Right-wing. I can take people who declare themselves my enemy. What I can’t abide is snakes, opportunists, backstabbers and liars on my own side.

National Review went full NeverTrump in 2016, to include insulting and smearing quite a few of their own readers, and they're suffering the predictable result.  Hell, both my father and I ended our subscriptions over it, as we get insulted and heckled enough by Leftists that we don't need it from people who were supposedly on our side.  Now it seems that their hatred of Trump and his supporters have allowed them to essentially jump on the Liberal Left train at every opportunity.

And let's be clear - I watched the video.  The kids did nothing wrong.  The black idiots screaming "FAGGOT!" at the kids were the problem.  The liar known as Nathan Phillips, who attempted to intimidate the kids and who provoked this entire episode, he did something wrong.  And every so-called conservative who jumped on the Liberal hate train should hang their head in shame for the rest of their lives as they enabled a Leftist mob who is now in the process of attempting to destroy the lives of those kids and their families.

The families of those kids are now publicly talking about suing.  Good sue the fucking bastards into bankruptcy.  Make the Leftist hate mob, of which the media is the ringleader, cheerleader and instigator, pay for their lies.  Fucking ruin every virtue-signaling asshole, starting with whoever the fuck is shipping that lying liar Nathan Phillips around the country so he can protest and start shit.

Make.  Them.  Pay.
