Yeah, this is a big deal

And it shows just what a complete and utter shitshow Jorge Bergolio is for the Catholic Church.

A group of clergy and lay scholars from around the world have taken the very rare step of presenting Pope Francis with a formal filial correction, accusing him of propagating heresies concerning marriage, the moral life, and reception of the sacraments. 

Entitled Correctio filialis de haeresibus propagatis, meaning ‘A Filial Correction Concerning the Propagation of Heresies,’ the 25 page letter was delivered to the Holy Father at his Santa Marta residence on Aug. 11. 

(.....) 

The filial correction, the first to be made of a reigning Pontiff since Pope John XXII was admonished in 1333, is divided into three main parts.

As I like to say, Bergolio isn't the Anti-Christ.  But he is the anti-pope.

I see that John Fucking McCain is up to his usual bullshit

And John Fucking McCain is working hard to make sure that Chuck Schumer is the Senate Majority Leader.

How much longer will we have to put up with this shitstain?

Trump gave a speech

The usual folks hated it.  At this point, if I see a Democrat screeching and pulling their hair out in a fit of rage over something Trump said, I know that he probably did OK.

The internet here is slow as hell

So not only do I not have time to post, but when I do post it takes forever.

Meh.

So apparently there was some TV show about TV on TV last night

And I didn't watch one single bit of it.

And apparently, I'm not alone.  The Emmys hit an all-time low.  Good.  I hope next year is lower.  And the next year lower yet.

Sure, go ahead, trust them! They're from the government!

Top.  Men.  

When not pushing people into fake robberies, the ATF regulates alcohol, tobacco, and firearms. (Also explosives, but it makes the well-known acronym more than a bit clumsy.) To facilitate maximum price gouging by state governments, the ATF tries to break up untaxed cigarette sales.
It's this simple work that has propelled an accountability-free explosion in the ATF, most of it traced back to a single office in Bristol, Virginia, fronted by a quasi-legitimate tobacco distributor. From there, an appalling amount of illegal activity was participated in by ATF agents and officials. 

Matt Apuzzo has put together an amazing story for the New York Times, sourced from interviews and public records requests -- one that will cause your jaw to drop lower the further you scroll down the page. As Apuzzo puts it, the operation began as a way to bust black-market cigarette sales. It ended up as something much more sinister: an ATF slush fund that mixed public and private money with zero oversight or statutory authority. If any agent needed anything -- from vending machines with cameras in them to credit cards for unquestioned expenses -- they went to Bristol. It was done in the government's name, but plenty of agents personally profited from the operation.

The ATF needs to be abolished.  It is corrupt, unaccountable, and tyrannical to the people caught up in its path.  There is not a single ATF agent you can trust, because even if that single agent is a good guy, he works for a bureaucracy that is corrupt, unaccountable and tyrannical.

Add the ATF to the list of departments that are helping to destroy America and need to be wiped away.

Yeah.  Still busy.

Have you forgotten?

So, I'm a bit busy

Here's my schedule right now -

0430 - wake up.  Do PT.  Get ready for class.  Go to class.  Eat Breakfast.  Go to class.  Eat lunch.  Go to class.  Eat dinner.  Do homework.  Hit the rack at around 2130-2200 or so.  Repeat.

If there's anyone who would like a chance to blog here, let me know.  I'm going to be reeeeeeeally light on posting for the next few weeks or so.

Well, SHIT!

Jerry Pournelle has passed.

RIP to a legend.  He truly was a genius, and had a greater effect on our society than folks might know.

Oh crap, this thing is still on!

And I've been a bad boy.  Mea Culpa.

So apparently Trump "cut a deal" on the debt ceiling with the Democrats

Not great.  Not good optics.  But since Ryan and McConnell had already announced their surrender on the debt ceiling, exactly what should Trump have done?

The shitshow that is currently unfolding in D.C. is entirely the fault of the GOP refusing to lift one damn finger to do what they promised to do.  We know what the Democrats will do.  We know what they want.  They're communists, Marxists and tyrants.  The GOP was supposed to be the opposition, not the doormats for the Marxist commies.

At this point, if Trump can get rid of Ryan and/or McConnell, that would be a YUGE win for us.

Not Citizens

That's about all that needs to be said, innit?  Time for Juan, Pablo and Guadalupe to head back home.  The rule of law once again means something, even if just for a tiny bit.

Oh, and the protests outside the White House where the illegal aliens are screaming in SPANISH?  Yeah, that's a GREAT way to show how American you are!

A portrait of "Eww".

Here's how the Left would like America to look.

That pic in the upper Left is a good example of why we left Seattle in the dust in 2004.  Because pretty much everyone in our age group was starting to look like that.

The Cancer inside the GOP

Paul Ryan is just another tumor growing from it.

Yeah, so after nearly two years of tiresome finger-wagging about “the Rule of Law” and how we need to put our “principles” above our desire for “winning,” the whole sordid scam we always knew it always was is revealed for the world to see. They can’t hide it anymore and they aren’t even trying. Their glorious “conservative principles” aren’t principles at all but a skeevy ploy designed to tie our hands and keep us from pursuing policy goals our establishment coalition partners disfavor. They want open borders. They want illegals. They want cheap foreign labor that doesn’t get uppity to man their donors’ corporations so the Captains of Crony Capitalism don’t have to fuss with American workers who won’t tolerate being treated like chattel. Yeah, “we’re better than that” all right – if you mean that we are better than enforcing the laws the American people passed through a constitutional process if the ruling class decides it doesn’t like them.

As of right now, the GOP has fought harder to keep DACA and allow hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens to stay in this country than they fought to repeal Obamacare, which they promised for years they were going to get rid of.

So in short, the GOP, especially the GOP leadership, is a bunch of gutless, pathetic, big-government nanny-state LIARS.

Paul Ryan might has well paint his face orange and call himself John Boehner.  Mitch McConnell is still doing more damage to the GOP than the Democrats could have ever hoped to do on their own, and the voters who expected the GOP to do the things they said they would do are furious.  It's almost like the GOP wants to give congress back to the American Communist Party in 2018.

The good thing is that Paul Ryan has a primary challenger and it looks like the challenger is doing rather well.  Huh.  Go figure!

And I don't want to hear ONE DAMN WORD about what a "conservative" is from these lying fucking shitheads.  They haven't conserved ONE DAMN THING.  You want to know why the Alt-Right is growing?  Because the Republican Party has become nothing but the Democrat-Lite Party, and everybody knows it.  Why vote for the same poison just because it'll kill you in twice the time?

Striking a memory

I submit to you that the 90's produced more good music than almost any other decade since the 1940's.



That's not saying other decades didn't produce good music.  but from about 1992 to 1999, more good bands put out good songs than almost any time previous, and certain ever since then.

Of course, it also put out Nirvana.  But don't hold that against it.

I maybe shoulda saved this for tomorrow..

But I hardly post on a Sunday anyways.

A multimillionaire nearing the end of his life was distraught because he had worked so hard for his wealth and he wanted to be able to take it with him when he died. He prayed and asked God if he could do so. 

“Sorry,” God said. “Rules are rules.” 

But the man begged and pleaded, and eventually God relented. 

“All right, you win,” God said. “I’ll make an exception just this once. You can bring one suitcase.” 

Overjoyed, the man took his largest suitcase, filled it with bars of pure gold, and set it beside his bed. 

Not long afterward, the man died and arrived at the gates of heaven. St. Peter took one look at the suitcase and said, “You can’t bring that in here.” 

The man explained that he had special permission from God. St. Peter was skeptical, but went to check the story out. After a while he returned. 

“You’re right,” Peter said. “God says you’re allowed one suitcase. But I’ll have to check its contents before letting it through.” 

St. Peter opened the suitcase to inspect the worldly goods that the man had found too precious to leave behind, and said in astonishment, “You brought pavement?”

Just a reminder, courtesy of here.

700,000 job openings if DACA ends

I say close that shit down now.  The best part?  This study was released by the pro-illegal-alien Zuckerberg Group, who thought they were going to milk the feelz about how hard it would be on the poor little illegal aliens who would have to leave.

We're getting screwed

Americans spent more on taxes than food and clothing combined.  And what are we getting for it?  Bankrupt entitlement programs, trillions upon trillions of dollars of debt, and a looming budget crisis that will probably wipe out the economy of this country when it occurs.

Feel pissed off yet?

Comey the Crook

James Comey was writing the exoneration of Hillary Clinton long before interviewing key witnesses.

Former FBI Director James Comey started to draft a statement exonerating Hillary Clinton in the bureau's investigation into her use of a private email server before the FBI interviewed her or her key witnesses, the Senate Judiciary Committee said Thursday. 

"Conclusion first, fact-gathering second — that's no way to run an investigation. The FBI should be held to a higher standard than that, especially in a matter of such great public interest and controversy," Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, and Judiciary Subcommittee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in a letter to the FBI.

What a slimy shitwad.  You want to know why Trump got elected?  Because Americans are tired of the politically connected getting off scott-free while the rest of us have to suffer under the laws those same politically connected assholes create.
