According to the Demo-Dopes, we're all racists, but it's okay because we'll all be killed by climate change which is all the military's fault

NOTE:  Chemo Infusion #12 is today, so posting may be short and light for the next couple of days.


This is what I woke up to this morning:

War fuels climate change

American military bases are not victims of climate change. Our military is the largest user of petroleum and the largest producer of greenhouse gases on earth. The U.S. military has emitted 1 billion metric tons of greenhouse gases in our war on terror.

As we experience the hottest months on record in 140 years, we should consider our disproportionate contribution to the warming of our planet.

It seems insane to destroy the environment that sustains us in an effort to maintain our national lifestyle. I am an Air Force veteran, but we are not “fueling our future.”

We are destroying our future with fuel (and wars for oil).

We fund this life-destroying effort with half of our discretionary tax spending. Climate change is a macro-effect of war and militarism.

We have passed some tipping points, but it is never too late to work for a softer landing. Our heavy carbon footprint affects all life on earth.

Peace is the winning move. Remember the '60s poster: “War is not healthy for children and other living things”?

Peace can save us from the fast burn and the slow boil.

It's time for change in nation built on racism

For those who claim they do not have a racist bone in their body:

America is a racist spine holding together a racist structure, a racist government, a racist landscape, from sea to shining sea.

The foundation of our government was constructed by slaveholders who did not believe black people were human. Our infrastructure, our economy, every seed of America was sown by slaves and the colonization of native peoples. 

Racism is a system of oppression inherently designed to keep people of color from rising. Until we acknowledge the racist power structures our country was built on, we cannot begin to dismantle them. Every white person in this country, no matter their economic background, benefits from America's racist power structure.

When I hear the GOP refuse to acknowledge that our president is a racist, when I hear people tell me they don't have a racist bone in their body, I remember how black people were not allowed to buy houses in the Michigan city my mother grew up in until 1979. I remember how redlining in Chicago has stolen millions from black families. I remember the burning effigies of President Barack Obama, hanging from the noose. I remember Michael Brown and Eric Garner and Trayvon Martin and Phillando Castille. I remember our president basking in a racist chant to send a brown, duly elected congresswoman home, one of the basic definitions of racism. I remember how the racist spine of America enabled our president to be in this position of power, after years of discriminating against black people, after calling them stupid and lazy, after calling for their execution after proven innocence.

And I remember the millions of people who voted for him and chanted with him and agree with him.

This is not an aberration of a racist president. We have always been this way. But we do not have to be. What we do now, in the face of what our country has produced in Donald Trump, is up to us. We can choose to remain this way, or we can begin to dismantle the racist bone we claim we do not have.

You cannot make this sh*t up.  Geez, what’s going to get me first, climate change or being a raging racist?   Can I really go on?  What’s the point?  The only good news is that when climate change wipes us all out in 12 years, the racists will all be dead as well.  Maybe it’s just best that we sit back and enjoy the show until our inevitable end.

I do not know who is in worse shape, Tiernon or Mossoian.  I suspect that Tiernon, like all Lefty Libs, is a hypocrite.  I suspect he gets around now and then by burning some fossil fuels.  I suspect he’s heating his home in the winter and cooling it in the summer in the same manner.  Does he use hot water for bathing?  How does he acquire it?  Does he heat his meals?  He could give all of those things up and make for a "softer landing" for us when climate change comes to collect us all.  

My guess is that he’s more comfortable virtue signaling and hectoring the rest us about climate change than changing anything in the way he does business in his own life.  So he blames it all on the US military for providing for the common defense.  That way he doesn’t have to do one damn thing except tell us how much better he is than the rest of us, because, don't you know, he just cares more. 

Then there’s Mossoian – another hypocritical virtue signaler.  Wow!  Deconstructing this steaming pile of poo would take hours and more electrons than it’s worth.  Let me just point out the obvious:  Who knew the poor white families in Appalachia barely getting by owed their sorry condition to “America’s racist power structure”?   If they only knew, those white families could claim the same victim status as black families unable to rise out of poverty in hellholes – like Chicago - run by black and white Democratic Politicians for decades.

Ahead of the 2020 election, Democrats will be in the business of 24/7 projection.  Democrats are the party of slavery, the party that opposed Reconstruction after the Civil War, the party of segregation and Jim Crow, the party that opposed 1960s Civil Rights legislation, the party that turned once thriving cities and urban areas into unlivable, unmanageable areas of squalor by decades of neglect and today Democrats are the party trying to cover up their legacy of racism by projecting that sin onto anyone and everyone who might have a policy disagreement with them.  After all it's much easier to call your political opponent a racist than it is to argue policy.

America is self-correcting democratic republic that Democrats think is a terrible place.  Reading the local fish wrap this morning, I might agree, except when I compare it to other countries. It’s not perfect.  It’s just better than anywhere else.       

Dare I challenge Mossoian to move to Somalia, Iran, Mexico, Germany, Egypt etc. to check out conditions elsewhere, or would that be racist?

Gotta keep this bit by Andrew Klavan:

If there were a country called Clueless, where the chief religion was Cluelessness, and where the most clueless person was named the High Priest of Cluelessness, and if once a year, on the most holy of Clueless holy days, the Most Clueless High Priest of Cluelessness entered into the Clueless Holy of Holies where a pure spirit of Utter and Endless Cluelessness dwelt in the most perfect state of perfect cluelessness imaginable, then when the High Priest of Cluelessness entered the Clueless Holy of Holies and stood before that perfectly clueless spirit of Utter Cluelessness, he would find himself in the presence of NBC’s Chuck Todd.

I’ll keep it on file and change the name from Chuck Todd to Tim Tiernon or Emily Mossoian when appropriate.  Read the rest of Klavan’s piece here.

Svengali Trump has Demo-Dopes supporting rats, illegal aliens, communists and pollution by plastic - except straws where they draw the line

PDJT is a Svengali extraordinaire.  This month he has gotten the Demo-Dopes to support the anti-Semitic, anti-American, anti-white commie loving “All Dope” dope team known as “the squat.” The TV commercials almost write themselves.  All of the dopey things this group of no-talent haters have uttered of tweeted is available on the Interweb.  So is the support of the nitwits among the Dopes Party.

Recently PDJT has gotten the entire Dope Party to come out in support of the rats in Baltimore.  This is the most incongruent Dope Party policy stand since Grand Nan from San Fran Peloser came in support of MS 13.  The Dopes insist that PDJT is racist because he pointed out rats that live in dope of Dopes Elijah Cummings’ district.  Apparently, for Dopes, it’s only okay for PDJT to point out problems that exist in districts represented by white men. Some might call that real racism.  So PDJT said, “Okay let’s take a look syringe and poop problem that exists in San Fran in Peloser’s district.”  Now PDJT a misogynist racist.

PDJT even came to the defense of the lowly plastic straw by pointing out the idiocy of banning plastic straws in order to save the planet when the straw is usually placed into a plastic cup that contains several times the mass of plastic as the stupidly targeted straw.  PDJT went so far as to use the issue to raise campaign funds by selling “Trump” plastic straws. The “Trump 2020” campaign has already raked in nearly half a million dollars selling the novelty item in packs of 10 for $15.  Not bad.  No doubt the Dope will out in support of larger plastic items as it’s only plastic straws that pose a threat to the environment.

Since Flit, MI has been run by the Dopes since 1975, look for PDJT to come out with a Tweet excoriating dopes in the perpetually Dope run city of Flint, MI.  When he does, no doubt the entire Dope Party will call the tweet racist and defend the dirty and toxic water that the city supplies to residents.

Everything we need to know about perpetually run Demo-Dope hellholes can be found here.

Re: MaryJane Coursen’s letter “Troubling D.C. symptoms” of Jul 29, 2019.

PDJT is a Svengali extraordinaire.  He has Democrats acting like armchair psychiatrists and condemning the fast food that drives much of America at meal time.  He has lived rent free inside their small minds since his inauguration and has gotten them so discombobulated that they write nonsensical, petulant, petty letters to the editors.

If our Republican representatives are “bobbelheads,” the Democratic Party has a much more serious problem with the location of their heads which can be found deeply planted up their backsides.

If the results PDJT has delivered so far are caused by a steady diet of fast food, we should all send him McDonald’s gift cards.    

Troubling D.C. symptoms

It seems our country is watching a president showing signs of impaired brain function. Could this be clogged arteries from too much fast food? Also, there appears to be a syndrome affecting many members of the Senate. Their heads bobble but their voices don't seem to work. Is this the bobblehead syndrome? Could the cure be in the next election?

Re: Grace Voorheis letter “Caged children’s needs are being left unmet” Of July 30, 2019

I don’t get.  Why is Grace Voorheis losing sleep over the conditions of detainees at the borders?  Democrats from Speaker of the House Pelosi to Senate Minority Leader Schumer to the Army of Democratic Presidential Candidates have assured us that there is no crisis at the border. According to the Democratic political masterminds, this is all a “manufactured crisis.”  Don’t worry, to the extent that there is a real crisis at the border, Democratic politicians have the absolute power to fix it.  So, sleep easy Ms. Voorheis.  If there were a real problem at our Southern Border, certainly Democrats would fix it.  Right?

Before we concern ourselves with conditions at the border for illegal aliens, we should look at the 60,000 homeless Americans living on the streets of Los Angeles, or the families living in rat infested hellholes in Baltimore, or the residents forced to step over or around used syringes and piles of human waste in San Francisco.    

Caged children's needs are being left unmet

Do you hear the children sobbing, yelling, crying? How can you sleep? I can't. I try, but I see faces and more faces of children in these made-up cages.

I know we should not get into politics. I cannot help it when our president ignores the judges' orders to cease these separations. And children are still being separated from their parents.

Do you really think this is fake news? Do you just ignore the accusations as false? Why is it only one TV station “tells the truth” when 50-plus others are telling different stories? I just don't understand.

Who is caring for these children? Who cares? I do, and it is killing my very heart and soul to hear these children being so abused and neglected.

Are they clean, getting educated, have enough to eat, their daily needs taken care of? There is no one to touch them, hold them, talk to them, listen to them. Who reads them stories? Who laughs with them (or do they laugh any more?) What will their lives be when they grow up? If they grow up?

When they do not have a substantive answer, Dopes shout RACIST over and over again

Just like when PDJT took on “the squat,” Dopes are howling over PDJT telling the absolute truth about halfwit Elijah Cummings’ Congressional District – a rat infested hell hole that has more in common with a third world country than the tony neighborhood where Cummings lives.  

The first reaction from the left to anything PDJT says or tweets is that he’s a racist.  They don’t look into whether or not what he alleges is true of not.  “The squat” claimed PDJT’s tweet about them was racist even though he never mentioned them by name or ever mentioned race in the tweet.  So how is it everyone, including “the squat” themselves, knows exactly who PDJT is talking about – without ever mentioning them by name?  How is that possible? 

If I posted that a "certain reader"" was a low-life, unbathed, moron and then got a note from the Griffin or AfBro to stop talking about them, what is anyone to think? 

So PDJT has shown a very bright light on the sh*thole that is Baltimore.  The Dopes have no answer to PDJT’s factual allegation so they are left to call him a racist.  As is often the case when the Dopes and the MSM think that they finally have PDJT, it turns out PDJT is correct.  There’s a tape of Bernie Sanders making essentially the same claim as PDJT.  Video tape of the conditions in Cummings’ district are cropping up all over the place.  Black residents of the sh*thole are offering testimonials as to the actual conditions in Cummings’ district.  

Instead of admitting the problem and promising to do better, idiot Cummings and his lockstep Dope followers chant racist, racist, racist… over and over again until like the fan running in the corner people become accustomed to the noise, turn up the TV and just ignore it. 

After he was done with BS artist Cummings, PDJT rolled in on Grand Nan from San Fran Pelooser’s district.  You can bet if you’re a congressman that includes a sh*thole in your district you’re laying low.  You think anyone from LA or San Fran is going to speak up?  We’ll see. 

In the 2016 cycle Lex opined that PDJT should go into these Demo-Dope controlled sh*tholes and call out the Dope pols responsible for once great cities spiral into hell.  In the Marine Corps there was a fake term - recon by fire where Marines would fire blindly into dense cover hoping to hit the enemy.  I say fake because it was never an accepted tactic because it wasted ammo and no one could be certain what was behind the cover - a village maybe. PDJT is exploring the campaigning in Dope territory by tweet.

PDJT is once again forcing Demo-Dopes to defend the indefensible.  Well done, Mr. President. 

A JG rant Threefer on Monday

I’m catching up on my JG rants.  So much stupidity.  So little time.  Here you go.  

JG Rant #1: In defense of Gen. Wayne…again

Re: Terry Doran’s letter “Miss Virginia tribute ideal Wayne antidote” of Jul 28, 2019.

The Lieber Code or General Order No. 100, named after its author Franz Lieber and published during the Civil War, states in part, “The more vigorously wars are pursued the better it is for humanity.  Sharp wars are brief.” General Wayne’s sharp encounter with a British supported confederation of Indian tribes at Fallen Timbers brought an abrupt end to the Northwest Indian War and with it an end to much death and suffering.

It’s hard to stomach self-loathing historically illiterate Liberals acting like Stalin when they trash famous flags of the revolution, take a knee during the anthem, pull down statues, paint over historic murals, and attempt to rewrite history all in effort to bring down their own country.

Here are some facts that revisionists like Doran omit from their fairy tale history lessons. 1)  As brutal as it seems by today’s standards, General Wayne conducted his campaign within the principles of war of the day.  2) Those are the same standards that saw the Indian Confederation murder some 200 women and children camp followers after the Confederation brutally wiped out Arthur St. Claire’s army at Ft. Recovery.  3)  After the Treaty of Greenville, many of the Indian Chieftains Wayne defeated came to hold him in very high regard.

It’s nauseating to read whinny spineless Liberals who, under similar circumstances, would wilt like a rare orchid discarded onto the blacktop in the summer sun complain about the man in the arena locked in mortal combat with a savage enemy.       

Like Doran, I’m a big fan of Miss Virginia.  So I ask a simple question, why not celebrate both General Wayne and Miss Virginia.  Why does the Left insist on destroying something in order to lift themselves.

Miss Virginia tribute ideal Wayne antidote

“We invite the Fort Wayne community to resist honoring a day of celebration for an individual who led armed forces to murder and conquer the people of this land.” From a piece by local pastors Misty-Dawn Shelly and Timothy C. Murphy

“Miss Virginia Day is the perfect counterpoint to Anthony Wayne Day.” Chris Doran, author

“It's also amazing how few women we know and honor – even more reason to choose her.” Joe Ohlinger, professor

In 1989, this paper published my first attempt to call attention to the crimes of Anthony Wayne. Since then, I have written numerous letters and columns and produced a community forum on the shameful name of this city. To no avail. Now, there's a day dedicated to him.

So I have three points. 1) You can't sway thinking with facts.2) I am thrilled to see two members of the clergy write such a powerful piece. 3) Try a different approach.

During this time of frustration about the futility of my efforts, I came to know a remarkable woman whose humility and love of others boosted my spirits and gave me hope to keep going. Her name was Virginia Schrantz, but everyone knows her as Miss Virginia. I featured her in my documentary “Voices of Hunger” with Jamie Smead, but she did much more than talk. City Councilman Geoff Paddock says “Miss Virginia ... opened up her doors and her home for food, for clothing, for shelter, to almost anyone who was in need.” Others continue to carry on her legacy at her house at 1312 Hanna St., and a four-block stretch now carries her name.

So here's what I'm thinking regarding Point 3: a Miss Virginia Day, I know there are wonderful nonprofits dedicated to helping others. Let them all come together in a day of service and provide opportunities for all citizens to experience the joy Miss Virginia believed comes from helping others.

JG rant #2: Illegal aliens are a drain on public service

Re: Thom Bauer’s letter “Writer misunderstands Supreme Court's role” of Jul 22, 2019.

Many illegal aliens work and pay taxes, but the overall burden on public services by illegal aliens far outweigh any tax contributions that they may make.  For instance, 2 billion dollars annually is lost to emergency healthcare for illegal aliens.  A large percentage of that 2 billion dollars goes toward delivering anchor babies to illegal alien families. 

Since Bauer is worried about the loss of federal funding for Indiana schools, consider this:  the public schools are being overrun with illegal alien school children most of whom have limited English proficiency (LEP).  Nation-wide, the number of LEP student jumped from 3.5 million in 1989 to nearly 5 million in 2013.  Given the Democrats’ open borders policies that number is sure to grow exponentially at the next counting.

At last count the Federal government paid about 8% of public education to the states.  After federal government “contributions,” Indiana taxpayers shell out $609,759,457 annually to educate illegal alien children.

Why would Indiana tax payers be comfortable with sending their tax dollars to Caligula, D.C. where blockhead Democrats and Republicans then divvy those tax dollars up and send them back to the states?  Does that make any sense?

The likelihood of 3^rd District losing its representative is absurd.  According to the last census, 3^rd District had more people than it needed for a representative.  Given current growth patterns that is projected to remain the case for the foreseeable future.

I’m sure Bauer is correct that most illegal aliens work harder than Americans.  I’m certain the only reason the decrepit places these people come from are in such bad shape is because everyone there is just plain working too hard.  

Whatever else the Democrats say about counting illegal aliens, they don’t want you to know what the actual number is so as to eventually use them to cancel your vote. 

Writer misunderstands Supreme Court's role

Let's fact check James Schmelzer's letter (“Census ruling leaves reader 'sadly ashamed,' ” July 11).

Schmelzer says he has traveled to many foreign countries and never filled out a census form in those countries. There is a huge difference between visiting a country and living in a country. That is like comparing a watermelon to a lime. Both are fruit and both are green, nothing more.

Schmelzer obviously didn't read the article on how a citizenship question could seriously affect Fort Wayne Community Schools by undercounting and thus creating a $1,000 loss in federal funds per student per year. Which would mean a $10,000 loss per student until the next census. This, of course, would have to be made up by the city and state, meaning higher city and state taxes on homeowners, sales and various other means to make up the difference. Schmelzer doesn't tell us how he would overcome these issues.

Schmelzer also doesn't understand that the 3rd District might come into play with an undercount stripping the area of our representative. This would mean grouping districts together and possibly losing our voice. Not to say we would also lose clout in the Electoral College.

Another point is that immigrants (or whatever you prefer to call them) work in most cases – paying taxes which do flow back into the economy through purchases – usually much harder than most Americans. When they do gain citizenship, that work ethic stays with them. All you have to do is live in a large, diverse community, as I have in New York City.

It is sad that someone would be ashamed of the Supreme Court, obviously not understanding they are in place to litigate laws. Let me tell you what I am ashamed of: individuals who constantly peddle “fake” news and “alternative” facts. These are the true enemies of the people.

JG rant #3: Don’t bore me with your moralizing, hypocrite

Re: Cindy Pond’s letter “Unchristian silence” of Jul 27, 2019

When Lefty Libs raise “Christianity” as a club to beat conservatives over the head they prove that they are lying hypocrites.  I’ll believe the Lefty libs’ bovine excrement on Christianity when the Libs stop advocating for the murder of babies born alive after a failed abortion; stop advocating for violence against conservatives by their thug army of masked fascist – AntiFa; stop vilifying every law enforcement officer from CBP to ICE to local police officers; stop cheering when Democrat candidates refer to half of America as “bitter clingers” or “deplorables”; most of all I’ll believe their insane double speak when they are capable of loving their neighbor wearing a MAGA hat rather than keying his truck.  Let that sink in.

Here’s the sentence in the tweet that got the perpetual PDJT haters’ shorts in a wad: “Why don’t they go back and help fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came. Then come back and show us how it’s done.”  Notice PDJT DID NOT demand or even ask anyone to leave the good ol’ USA.  Rather PDJT poses a good question.   If the USA hating, Israel hating, white people hating “squad” do not like it here, why don’t they leave?  The simple answer is that PDJT has made America so great again that even the people who hate her refuse to leave.  Let that sink in.

PDJT never once mentioned race or any names in his tweet on this subject.  Yet everyone knows who he was tweeting about.  How is that possible?  Let that sink in.

Let this sink in. You are a hypocrite of the highest order.  Remove the log from your own eye before pointing out the splinter in someone else’s eye.     

Unchristian silence

Northern Indiana is represented by a congressman and two senators who refuse to condemn their president for incendiary comments that have had the effect of endangering the well-being of four members of the House. All three of them ran on their “Christian” values.

Let that sink in.

Boob Nifong Mueller's disgrace in two contrasting articles

Remember back in the day when you’d walk into the classroom on a Friday and the exhausted teacher would have the film projector set up?  That’s today.  Lex is assigning you to sit quietly at your desks and study a couple of articles.

Here’s an interesting piece that tells us all really need to know about how Dopes are going to play the drubbing that they took at the Boob Nifong Mueller hearings.  The writers note five losers.  Mueller is a loser.  His report is a loser, and impeachment is loser.  Yet House Republicans and PDJT are also losers?  How is that?  Don’t the first three losers presuppose that the last two are winners? Not in lefty Lib word where even the Lib losers turn out to be winners because the loss reflects badly on Republicans.   

Here’s the other side of the coin from the Chicago Trib no less.  It’s a stinging rebuke of Nifong Mueller and the Dopes. It’s stinging because, unlike the piece above that cherry picks, speculates and just plain makes sh*t up, this piece deals in reality and the truth – as I see it.

Always remember, Boob Nifong Mueller is an oooozing bag pus.  Whatever he nce was, war hero, honorable public servant etc. he kicked it all to the when he let Andy Weisman run the Nifong Mueller investigation and in the process do more unethical things to harm the country than an army of Richard Nixons.

UPDATE:  This is the kind of BS we are used to seeing from crazed lunatic radical practitioners of the "religion of peace." Total BS.  PDJT should link this to the Squat the Demo-Dope Party who encourage such asinine behavior.

Boob Nifong Mueller got what he deserved, now it's Weismann's turn

Well that did not appear to go well for the Dopes.  Still, using Stalin’s law books, they insist that, because Boob Nifong Mueller didn’t “exonerate” him, PDJT must be guilty of something. They’ve definitely got their man.  All they need now is a crime.

Only a Dope could get drubbed this badly and still insist that the mumbling, confused old fool who is making wild accusations is more believable that the guy he is accusing.  Fat stupid and probably perpetually drunk Jerry Nadler’s next line of witnesses will come from the nut house followed by a parade of witnesses from the old folks’ home. They are all going to accuse PDJT of horrific crimes right before recalling how they saw an alien spaceship land on the Capitol Building lawn and wonder if it could be the same ones that abducted him back in the 30s.

Okay, Nfong Mueller wasn’t that bad – but almost.  He proved one thing conclusively, he was not running the investigation.  No one who is as totally confused by information contained in what is purported to be “their report” could have actually had that much to with it.  It was like Slowest of all Joes – Biden trying to defend his college paper 1/3^rd of which was lifted word for word from someone else’s work.  Slow Joe put his name on the paper the paper, but he doesn’t really understand the material he lifted.  That was Nifong Mueller yesterday. He didn’t have a clue of much of what is purported to be “his work” - or at least it has his name on it.

As a result, the lasting impression of the once highly respected Boob Nifong Mueller will be that of an old confused man who clearly has no idea what he’s talking about and who let crazed political hacks destroy his once good name in the pursuit of injustice against PDJT.  The really great thing is that Nifong Mueller was exposed as the useless POS that Lex has always claimed he is live on national TV for all to see.

No, I don’t have an ounce of sympathy for that lying conniving double dealing rat bastard SOB – Nifong Mueller - anymore than I do for his namesake  - Mike Nifong – who relentlessly pursued injustice against the Duke Lacrosse team for political purposes.  Nifong Mueller allowed the country to be torn apart for 2 ½ years in a quest by Demo-Dopes to harpoon the great white whale - PDJT.  

When that failed to pan out for the treasonous bastards, Nifong Mueller attached his name to 400+ pages of BS that has acted as top cover for the fat slob Nadler and his lying POS buddy Pencil Neck Schiff to continue the quest to get PDJT by any and all means necessary. 

Nifong Mueller's report needed to be no longer than one type written to page with two findings.  1) The investigation found no evidence of collusion between anyone in the Trump campaign and Russian agents.  2)  The investigation found no evidence of obstruction of justice by PDJT.

Instead Nifong Mueller let a F—k like Andy Weismann take bucket after of bucket of the most vile human waste and dump it all over him and his once good name.  Still neither of these scumbags will get what they deserve for what they’ve done to the country.  A firing squad is too good, too quick and puts them out of their misery with too much dignity.  No, these weasels need to face public humiliation for decades for their BS. 

Nifong Mueller is done.  He’s a total laughing stock and will remain a punchline and a synonym for a doddering old fool that will live on until the rat bastard finally shuffles off this mortal coil for good. 

Weismann is another story.  Hopefully AG Barr and his investigator John Durham will nail this no good bastard.  I hope they give him the same treatment he gave Flynn, Manafort and Stone.  I hope they raid his home in the middle of the night, lock him up in solitary confinement for months on end, pursue him and his family relentlessly until he and they are dead broke and forced to plead guilty to kidnapping the Lindberg baby as well as treason in an attempted coup against PDJT. That’s still too good for that piece of human debris.

The Iranian navy needs to start experiencing a rash of unexplained difficulties

Prediction:  The Boob Nifong Mueller hearing will be largely a dud.  The Dopes will respond as if Mueller just solved the case of Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance, ID'd the real Boston Strangler and produced irrefutable evidence that there was indeed a second shooter on the grassy knoll. There will be nonstop coverage of Dopes running to and fro like an attention seeking fraudster with a doctored picture of Big Foot.  All show, no go. 

Iran
Mysteries that may never be solved: 1) The identity of D. B. Cooper? 2) How, why and by whom was Stonehenge build? 3) Same three questions for the iconic stone statues on Easter Island. 4) Why Pete Carroll decided to throw a pass on second and goal from New England’s one yard line in SB XLIX when he had the best running back in the NFL, Marshawn Lynch? 5) Why does Iran still have a navy after months of trouble making in the Persian Gulf?

I know we don’t want to start another war in the Middle East, but boats break down, get lost and sink on their own all of the time.  Plausible deniability is all that is necessary.  Iranian boats sortie out. They become “disabled.”  Coalition forces “rescue” the Iranian crews from their sinking vessels.  A sea mine being transported on an Iranian vessel may explode prematurely.  It happens.

The Persian Gulf and the Straits of Hormuz need to become the Bermuda Triangle for anything Iranian that floats.

All that said, WTF happened to Great Britain?  I suspect 70 years of Uncle Sam carrying the defensive load for the Euro-weenies has caused even the once might British navy to atrophy.  The word is that the Brits cannot muster the naval strength to protect their assets in the Persian Gulf or mount any kind of effective response when BS like the seizure of one of their tankers occurs. 

I do not share view.  The so far feckless Brit response has to be a reflection of weak politicians rather than confused naval men at the Brit Admiralty or some combination of the two. 

If coalition forces lack the naval resources to escort every civilian ship in and out of the Persian Gulf, it seems to me a better military option might be to put a squad of Special Forces and/or snipers aboard the civilian oil carriers.  

When an Iranian helicopter shows up and starts hovering over a taker, it’d be a pretty easy target for trained marksmen.  The same is true of Iranian fast boats.  I’m of the opinion that until someone hits them in the mouth hard when they try this BS, the IRG is going to continue its bad behavior.

I admit I’m a military guy so every problem looks like a military problem.  I also have to confess that I’m itching to see how a US Navy under PDJT responds if/when the Iranians try to seize a US asset.  Maybe the US Navy will take James Lawrence’s command, “Don’t give up the ship” seriously again. 

For now, I suppose we can give peace a chance while the Brit Special Forces practice reclaiming their ship. 

Today’s JG rant: Forget about the 2016 election, Dopes are still trying to re-litigate the 2000 election as well

UPDATE:  Greatest news ever.  Demo-Dopes are now in a bidding war for the minimum wage.  The $15 an hour movement has been out bid by radical know-nothing and raging anti-Semite Rashida Talib who now thinks $20 an hour ought to be the goal.

I think the first question at the next Dope candidate’s debate ought to be, “How much should the minimum wage be?”  By the time the debate is it will look like two billionaires biding on the last bottle of water on a desert island.  Kamala’s got $15.  Do I hear $20? Corry’s got 20.  Do I hear $25?  Mayor Pete says $35.  Do I hear 40?  Big Chief Lizzy’s $40.  Do I hear 45? Bernie says he’ll go $5 over the last bid.  Do I hear $100?...

Why not?  If the goal is to destroy the American economy, which it is, why not $25 or even $50 dollars an hour?  Rush Limbaugh has long argued that the way to counter this minimum wage argument is to simply add $5 dollars to whatever figure the know-nothings are demanding.  When they agree to that, add five more until they finally say, “well $45 an hour is too much.”  Then you have them.  Why is $45 an hour too much?  Then the know-nothing will be forced to accept economic reality.

Here’s the real minimum wage – whatever sum a person is will to exchange his services for.

Today's JG rant
The JG’s editorial page gets wackier and wackier by the day.  David Placher’s piece “Democracy doomed?” of July 22, 2019 is a doozy.  Democrats, among the biggest sore losers known in the history of man, are still re-litigating the 2000 Presidential Election. 

Placher’s account of the Florida recount is the most one-sided load of bovine excrement on the subject since AlGore famously said, “When votes are cast, we count them.” Unless, of course, those votes break against him like the military absentee votes Gore’s team tried to get excluded from the 2000 Florida recount, or Gore’s attempt to restrict a manual recount to four heavily Democratic cherry picked counties.

With regard to the Supreme Court decision on the matter, the Left loved to call Justice Kennedy a moderate swing vote on the court, unless he voted with the four strict Constitutionalist Justices then people who just make stuff up call it a “conservative-leaning Supreme Court.”

Placher demonstrates all the grace and dignity of the now  most famous sore loser in all of mankind, Hillary Clinton, when he tries tells the fairy tale that data shows AlGore would have won Florida if only all the votes were counted.  First, AlGore NEVER wanted all the votes counted.  Second, the assertion is pure poppycock. 

I’m sure Placher searched the internet until he found a study by four guys living in their moms’ basements that supported his theory.  Here’s some other news.  On April 3, 2001 PBS, not generally regarded as a conservative outlet, noted that, “In the first full study of Florida’s ballots since the election ended, The Miami Herald and USA Today reported George W. Bush would have widened his 537-vote victory to a 1,665-vote margin if the recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court would have been allowed to continue, using standards that would have allowed even faintly dimpled ‘undervotes’ — ballots the voter has noticeably indented but had not punched all the way through — to be counted.”  

How about the fact that “according to a massive months-long study commissioned by eight news organizations in 2001, George W. Bush probably still would have won even if the U.S. Supreme Court had allowed a limited statewide recount to go forward.”

Placher also wants the states to throw an extra constitutional requirement on PDJT for the 2020 election cycle – release of his tax returns.  I’m sure if Texas passed a law that candidates had to have completed 4 years of honorable service in the US military, Placher would squawk.  Scholars can scan Article II of the US Constitution from now until forever and they will not find any requirement for the release of tax returns as a prerequisite for the office of President of the United States.  They can scan the other dozen or so typewritten pages of the Constitution as well as all 27 amendments with the same result.

In reference to the rest of Placher’s whinny piece, he should thank his lucky stars it’s state legislatures overturning the citizens’ initiatives he cites.  In such cases the voters always have the opportunity to throw the bums out. 

When a conservative initiative wins at the ballot box, passes a legislative process or is implemented by executive order, Liberals always run to an unelected, unaccountable judge who is more loyal to his politics than he is to the law in order to put a dagger into the will of the people.

Democracy's doom?

Vote after vote, public wishes seem to count less

David Placher

David Placher is a Fort Wayne resident.

The death watch over democracy in the United States has started.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and other foreign vultures are circling the nation as its elections and its representative democracy are on life support. Within the past two decades, voters' decisions have been subjected to an unprecedented number of attacks. In several states, citizens have gathered signatures to place initiatives on ballots, only to watch voter-passed initiatives stomped on by governors and state legislatures that oppose them. Legislatures often draw both state legislative and congressional districts that tilt in a partisan direction so legislators often face no repercussions from disgruntled voters for their decisions. But democracy's fatal blow could arrive sooner than expected with the 2020 presidential election around the corner.

It's easy to pinpoint the recent event that hurt our elections: the 2000 presidential contest. George W. Bush's victory instantly became mired in controversy after a mandatory recount in Florida, and an additional hand recount ordered by the Florida Supreme Court came to an abrupt halt by order of the conservative-leaning Supreme Court because it viewed such a recount as unconstitutional. Bush, whose brother was Florida Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida, won Florida by 537 votes, but only after a number of ballots were discarded as a result of voter errors caused by ballot design in an area that heavily favored Al Gore. Bush lost the national popular vote but won the Electoral College and clinched the presidency. A nonpartisan postelection analysis concluded that a majority of Floridians intended to vote for Gore, but the defective ballots changed the outcome.

Then along came citizen initiatives that were popular with voters and unpopular with state legislatures. The Florida legislature devised plans to overturn or diminish voter-passed initiatives to limit class sizes, develop high-speed rail and, most recently, restore voting rights to nearly 1.4 million felons who were not convicted of murder or sex offenses. The Republican-controlled Florida legislature recently passed a law that clarified the voter-passed initiative that if felons want their rights restored, they have to pay their court-ordered financial obligations first. Many believe these felons are low income and support the Democratic Party.

In 2016, South Dakota voters passed a citizen initiative meant to diminish the influence of lobbyists. But the South Dakota legislature quickly repealed the law and replaced it with a law that placed fewer restrictions on lobbyists. That same year, Oklahoma voters passed a citizen initiative covering criminal justice reform that reclassified nearly all felony drug possession charges as misdemeanors. But the Oklahoma legislature immediately watered down the voter-passed initiative.

In November 2017, Maine voters passed a citizen initiative for Medicaid expansion, but Gov. Paul LePage was staunchly opposed to it, and he spent the reminder of his time in office refusing to implement it.

The District of Columbia – considered a progressive paradise for Democrats – City Council ignored a voter-passed initiative that would have required restaurants to annually raise the minimum wage of tipped employees by $1.50 until 2025, when the hourly rate would match the $15 minimum wage for non-tipped employees.

Voters got shafted last month when they lost an avenue to address their grievances of partisan-drawn congressional maps by state legislatures. The Supreme Court handed state legislatures a weapon in their battle against voters who want to make congressional districts politically balanced. The court ruled that federal courts are powerless to fight against state legislatures that draw congressional maps that favor the state legislature majority party, thus reducing the voice of the minority party.

Voters could get shafted yet again. Many states are exploring ways to hurt President Donald Trump by requiring presidential candidates to release their tax returns to appear on their November 2020 ballots. Trump has repeatedly said he would release his tax returns but has stalled.

The 2020 election could be the most controversial. If a candidate loses a state, but the state legislature is controlled by the losing candidate's political party, will it ignore the will of the voters and give its electoral votes to its losing candidate? If a state fails to place a party's presidential candidate on its ballot, is the presidential election valid? As the hyperpartisanship continues and scary scenarios seem more probable, the obituaries for U.S. democracy should be prepared and the services may be announced on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2020.
