Monday morning stuff

Bannon out
Demo-Dopes, Rat establishment Republicans et al got what they wanted.  Steve Bannon has been canned, resigned, wants to spend more time with the family. Whatever.  He’s gone.  I suspect that he still has PDJT’s cell phone number.

Prediction:  Demo-Dope et al will rue the day Bannon had the chains of the White House removed.  When Bannon levels the Lefty Libs and ReRs from his post at Breitbart, the Dopes will demand PDJT bring him back to the White House to shut him up. 

Sadly, predictable
No I did not miss the Barcelona attack.  I just thought the attack and sadly, the reaction to the attack, were as predictable as the sunrise.  The “religion of peace” killing and wounding scores is so ho hum.  I’d say it’s despicable, but what is really despicable to me is the way too predictable, we’ll bring them to justice, we can’t have a backlash against peaceful Muslims, and this is not the face of Islam blah, blah, blah.  How about, “Islam has a problem.  They need to correct it.  Until they do we need to hunt the Islamo-Terror-Fascists down and just kill them.”
  
America transformed?
PMSNBC ran special over the weekend titled something along the lines “Controversial Free Speech Rally.”  What’s exactly is controversial about a rally celebrating the First Amendment?  The speaker I suppose.  But isn’t that the point of the First Amendment?  No one needs to protect the speech of someone reciting the days of the week.  Only controversial speech and speakers require protection. 

Peace through violence
So the AntiFa - 40,000 strong - closed in on the “Free Speech Rally” in Boston to crack some skulls and exercise their heckler’s veto over free speech. CNN declared the AntiFa “seek peace through violence.”  So-called anti-fascists acting like fascist makes perfect sense in a world where a person can change their sex anytime of the day, where tolerance means shouting down people with different ideas, where statues are torn down overnight without so much as a public hearing. 

The Anti-statue or AntiStat crowd is gaining strength after its unchallenged assault on Confederate statues and now is including religious icons, Chris Columbus, local politicians, Joan of Arc and even Honest Abe in their effort to erase America history - or any history for that matter - through the purge of American statuary.  When the anarchist take over the mob, who knows where the purge will end?

I’m probably an outlier here, but I think all this statue removal, AntiFa, renaming of everything and even proposing jailing people for incorrect use of made up BS personal pronouns et al is going to backfire on Lefty Libs in 2018.  If it doesn’t, we’re in big trouble. 

These are Demo-Dope icons put up Demo-Dopes.  The Republican Party should be setting the record straight at every opportunity.  Instead they are in rush to get left of the Lefty Libs and throwing anyone who wants the mob to moderate on the question of statues under the bus least they be called a racist.
  
Boycotting the NFL
There’s a movement afoot to boycott the NFL if Colin Kaepernick remains unsigned.  Fine, I’ve more or less boycotted ignored the NFL for the last several years, but the fate of an average 2nd string quarterback has had nothing to do with it.  I lost interest when no one in league could explain what constituted a completed forward pass and deferred the decision to some guys in a room in NY City where the well-known definition of pornography is applied to a catch in a NFL football game, to wit: “we’ll know it when we see it.”

The Kaepernick phenomenon of players sitting through the National Anthem has expanded, but no other player has lost his contract due to their protest.  What does that mean?  To me it means Kaepernick’s protest is not the main problem with him finding a team.

Here’s the thing.  If America is as bad as these high paid athletes claim, why don’t they live elsewhere?  I’m not saying that they should leave.  I’m saying that they have the means to leave but don’t.  What the point here is that if things are as bad here as they seem to think, why not use a bit of their high paid salary to live elsewhere in the off season? 

I mean, think about it.  If I were wealthy and lived in a town where I was treated badly, I’d move.  Why don’t the protesters move to Quebec, Mexico City or some other “comfortable place” outside the US where they aren’t so much at risk of being gunned down by racist police.  The fact that they don’t means to me that they don’t really think it’s all that bad here.  It means that their move has more to do with politics than social justice. 

Afghan speech
We will see what we will see and comment on it tomorrow.
