And as Berkely Breathed once wrote (more or less): “Exhausted by the depth of his political analysis, the reporter was forced to take a nap.”
Reading poll results isn’t analysis, it’s recital.

Trying not to start the public floggings
News Roundup
Short takes on Da Nooz:
1) Presidential hopeful Pete Buttplug indicated he is open to the idea of raising the legal age for firearm purchases — Cool. As long as he also supports raising the voting age by the same number.
2) Venezuelan dictator Maduro announced late Monday that he would order “surprise” war games to plan for attacks against the United States on a “permanent” basis — so basically, he’s copying California and D.C., except they’re not playing.
3) Portland Police Bureau are seeking the public’s help in identifying four Antifa members who took part in a recent protest in the city where police officers and civilians were attacked — and a prediction: one day these little fascist fucks are going to threaten or beat the wrong guy, and get shot in the face. On that day, I will publish a report of the incident under “Righteous Shootings”.
4) Paki Rape Gang Sentenced To Jail Terms — instead of being taken out behind the courthouse and shot in the back of the neck, unfortunately.
5) EU Wants To Keep Plundering Britain’s Fishing Waters — OR, the Brits can just send out their new aircraft carrier for “practice war games” and sink every EU ship it comes across. It’s not like the Euros could do anything about it, not one of them having a deepwater navy.
6) Noted Homophobe Trump Appoints Homo As DNI — so much for that little Lefty talking point. (Of course, he’s the wrong kind of homo, being conservative, hence the howls of protest from the Hair On Fire Party.)
7) CanuckiPM Girlyman Has No Clue — no surprises there, especially as he secretly supports their protests.
and finally:
8) Eating a big breakfast could help you burn double the amount of calories than if you eat a larger meal at dinner — y’all know what to do now, don’tcha?
By the way, if that were true, I’d weigh about 100lbs.
Financial Opportunity
I wish I were a bookie. Then, if this happened:
…and somehow he got elected, I’d start an offshore bookie business:
- 2-1 that he’d “hang himself” in the presidential limo on the way back to the White House from his inauguration ceremony
- 3-1 there’d be an “accident” at the Inauguration Ball
- 1-3 he’d die “of natural causes” before his first Cabinet meeting
- 1,000-1 odds against him living long enough to deliver his first State Of The Union address.
Yeah, Hillary Bitch Clinton would be President, but I’d have made a lot of money and be living in the Caymans.
The Moderates Step Forward
Going back to my earlier observations about the fucking Marxists Social Democrats wanting to “unify the country”, we have this latest little contribution from one of the so-called “moderates” among the Democrat Clown Show:
Amy Klobuchar Says English Should Not Be Official Language of U.S.
Very few public statements by today’s politicians makes me want to pack a picnic lunch, grab my Mauser and head for a tall building in D.C., but this certainly ranks in the top five.
I remember once, in one of my more fevered rants passim, saying this about language in this country:
- Always — always — insist on speaking, and being spoken to in English, regardless of circumstance. If the other guy continues to scream at you in Spanish, respond with random Spanish expressions such as “Tierra del Fuego!” or my favorite, “Huevos y putas!”. If being yelled at in Ebonics, simply say, “I’m sorry, but I don’t speak Zulu”.
Nothing divides a populace quicker and more decisively than not being able to understand what the other guy is saying, especially if bi- or multilingualism is being mandated by law. It doesn’t work in Canada, it doesn’t work in Belgium, and it sure as hell never worked in South Africa. In fact, everywhere bilingualism is tried, it does nothing but cause friction, enmity and in some cases, violence.
As far as I’m concerned, when a politician running for public office makes such a suggestion, it should result in automatic disqualification by their parent party. And if that party refuses to do so, then it should face legal consequences.
I don’t care if Fernando Castro, Hua Li, Abu Hassam or any other escapees from the world’s shithole countries feel “left out” or “excluded” when they go to the DMV and can’t get anyone to talk to them, or who face incarceration because they couldn’t read the laws of this country. Learn the language — English — or GTFO.
News Roundup
Little snippets which don’t deserve a full post.
1) Ireland faces months without a government — lucky Ireland.
2) Bernie admits that banning assault rifles is just the start — we already knew that, you Marxist motherfucker, but it’s nice to have you come out and say it.
3) Mayor Pete Butt-plug wants to free 74,000 drug dealers — sounds like an election-winner right there, Homo Boy. Keep those ideas coming.
4) Make gun companies responsible for gun-related deaths — Joe The Doddering Fondler exercises his inner Swalwell. I was gonna say more, but Red Flag. LOL.
5) POTUS wants Pete Rose in the Hall of Fame — get Hillary, Clapper, Comey and all those other coup plotters in jail first, and then we can talk about irrelevancies like this one. Eye on the ball, Donald.
6) New Guy On The Border — one word, Brian: landmines.
And finally:
7) Oscars Triumph — for the first time in living memory, I’d actually seen one of the movies nominated for Best Picture before the show (The Irishman), and it sucked.
Not A Chance In Hell
Quoth some Democrat “strategist”:
“This has got to be an election fundamentally about Democrats’ vision for bringing the country together and solving the big problems that confront us.”
Really? This from a party which [deep breath]:
- encourages urban unrest through its paramilitary Antifa movement
- thinks voters for The Other Party are rubes, racists and “deplorable”
- supports “open borders” (i.e. unlimited immigration) and calls those who don’t “racists” and “white supremacists”
- resists ICE when they try to deport violent illegal immigrants
- supports early release of violent felons from prison
- supports Marxist electoral candidates and socialist/communist doctrine, in a nation which won the Cold War against that precise set of principles, and despite the obvious failures and appalling death tolls in all Communist nations since 1917
- supports infanticide and unlimited abortion rights despite those being incredibly unpopular with the majority of Americans
- wants to disarm the American population, despite Constitutional protection and (once again) massive popular support for private gun ownership
- espouses insane social philosophies and policies such as gender-swapping surgery and gender-reassignment treatment for children
- has Congressional representatives who ignore (and in some cases, even support) Muslim terrorism and the organizations which perform it
- supports high taxation and increased government spending, when it is obvious that most Americans hate both
- believes that climate catastrophe is imminent, excoriates all science (and scientists) that disproves their belief, and is willing to sacrifice both national- and personal prosperity to further their goals
- thinks that America is still a fundamentally racist country
- believes that international problems are mostly the fault of America, and supports diplomatic appeasement and accommodation of malevolent nations such as Communist China, Iran, Cuba and Venezuela (to name but a few)
- demands First Amendment protection for themselves, while actively denying it to anyone who opposes their philosophy
- continues to support failed education policies like Common Core
- denies school choice to parents when those choices include non-state school education
- refuses to allow failing and incompetent schoolteachers to be fired because of entrenched union opposition
- allows radical college administrations to suppress any contrary positions to their own
- supports radical feminism and its lunatic (and un-Constitutional) positions such as #BelieveAllWomen and similar policies which would deny the accused their right to a fair trial
- has, through its adherents in the federal bureaucracy, attempted a coup against an elected President
- has the support of a mainstream media which continues to excuse and obscure all wrongdoing perpetrated by Democrats; and invents, magnifies and exaggerates the same for any organization or person who opposes them even marginally
- sincerely believes in tropes such as “toxic masculinity”, Arab-inspired blood-libel of Israelis, and “climate catastrophe”
- will attempt to enact “climate-friendly” legislation and regulations which will hobble America and indeed the entire Western world’s economies, while giving a pass to the major sources of global pollution: China, India and the rest of the Third World
- wants to resurrect ObamaCare and take it to nationalized “single-payer” medical care
- will end America’s energy independence by outlawing fracking, construction of pipelines, destruction of the coal industry altogether and ending nuclear power generation.
There are more, but I think everyone gets the idea. And if you think I’m inventing or exaggerating this behavior, feel free to study all California’s legislation and regulations enacted since 1990, or NYFC’s Mayor DeBlasio’s ditto.
Here are just a few pictures which encapsulate the incoherence in modern “progressive” thought:
And I’m not making this stuff up. Look at the numbers in the chart below:
Considering that all the above are largely threats coming from Democrat politicians, supporters and Democrat-controlled organizations, explain this to me:
How will the Democrat / Socialist Democratic Party ever “bring the country together”?
The simple answer is: they can’t, and they don’t want to. Their entire philosophy is predicated on the Marxist principle of the class struggle; and if they don’t have an economic class struggle (as in the U.S.A., where prosperity is the rule and not the exception), they will invent another class struggle against a different enemy, e.g. “White Patriarchy”, “White Supremacists”, “Racists” or “The 1%” (to name but some), even if their own leaders belong to said groups in one way or another. This quite apart from their actual opponents, e.g. conservatives and Trump supporters, whom they demonize with such exaggeration that reconciliation is quite impossible..
In other words, the Democrat Party thrives on disunity, and all their actions and policies are designed to exacerbate and not reduce it. So their stated desire to bring the country together is just another political lie, and it’s nothing more than a transparent ploy to try to win the 2020 election.
