The only safe space for failed college snowflakes is the new US military

This story indicates that students at Bowdoin College in Main are suffering from mental trauma from classmates attending a “Tequila-Themed birthday party”.  Now the way I read th story is that the affected students were not even at the party but were none-the-less traumatized.  They complain about “cultural appropriation.”  So much for the great melting pot.

The corollary to white kids wearing sombreros I suppose would be any foreigner wearing a baseball cap?  I saw a Chinese guy with a Reds cap on the other day and was so microaggressed by the cultural misappropriation I nearly fainted dead away.  This has to stop.  What’s next Mexicans wearing Yankees caps?  Oh the horror!  I have pictures somewhere of Lex Jr. in Lederhosen.  If he ever crosses me, I’m going to publish that picture and ruin him for the rest of his life.  I once attended a costume party as Islamo-Terror-Fascist complete with bomb vest. It was funny as hell and nobody was offended, had to take a powder or run for the fainting couch. 

I watched Trump’s presser last night and one of these snowflakes actually demand that Trump apologize for using a swear word or during the campaign.  After rightly berating the fool, Trump declined.  This is the left in action.  Some idiot professor at Oberlin can be a raging anti-Semite and the university comes to her aide with arguments about free speech.  It's not really about free speech, she can say all the stupid inaccurate crap she wants, it’s about paying a lying fool to spread vile lies at a university. 

The same university azzbags that defend and in effect institutionalize the spreading of anti-Semite lies roll in students for drinking Tequila while wearing a sombrero.  Why would anyone spend 10s of 1,000s of dollars exposing their children to such utter BS?  It’s BS like this that has both Dope candidates wanting to give away college educations for free – charging exactly what it’s worth I suppose.  They want 4 more years of indoctrination.   

     

The NY Post asks: With all the campus sensitivity fascists running colleges, how will today’s college students function once they leave campus.  Simple, join the military.  Read the two post under to get a sense why.  As my old man used to quip when I whined about something trivial like a broken leg or 8” gash in my arm, “Jeez I hope we never have to fight another Battle of the Bulge.”

Slow Joe dumber than usual which really says something
The world’s dumbest man, Slow Joe two shots and a garden variety slap Biden said Ronald Reagan couldn’t win the Republican nomination in 2016.  That’s BS.  What isn’t BS is neither Harry Truman, JFK, LBJ nor even Billbo Billy Boy Clinton could win the Demo-Dope nomination in 2016.  On the other hand, Lenin, Stalin, Mao and Ho Chi Minh could easily be swept to the Dope nomination.

Trump presser
I watched the whole hour of Trump’s presser.  It was interesting in the fact that he talked without a prompter.  He defended his businesses by bringing products on stage with him and hit Romney hard for misleading people about them.  What he did with the home shopping network shtick was to demonstrate to Mr. & Mrs. America is that he’s a yuuugly successful businessman and can bring those talents to the Oval Office.  He acted as he was the party unifier.  He was at once gracious, funny, petty, plain spoken, tough, patriotic and confident.  Inspiring?  Well not so much for me.  Maybe I’ve just heard the “We’re going to make America great again” line too many times. 

After the press I watched the Screw Trump Network (AKA FNC) dump on him.  They had 5 or 6 “experts” critiquing the presser and advising the Rat establishment Republican Party how to stop Trump.  They roundly panned the presser as scatological, vain and unappealing to elite ReR bastards like themselves.

News flash to the ReR bastards:  I’m still a Cruz guy, but I could not stop watching Trump’s presser.

That’s what the ReRs do not get.  He’s clobbering them at every turn and they continue to offer up ReR conventional wisdom on why Trump will fail.  My advice to FNC, Romney and all of the other ReR elite bastards is to STFU. 

Trump correctly mentioned at the presser that every time someone has come after him, they have ended up on the ash heap of failed candidacies.  You can just see the ReR brain trust in a smoke filled room analyzing that.  “Lemmeesee.  He lays waste to everyone who goes after him.  Hmmm, what can we learn from that?  I know, let’s go after Trump.”

The next president should clean house at the Pentagon as well

Regular readers know that Lex refers to azz sniffing/kissing generals and admirals (GOFOs) in the military as wannbes.  They are wannabes when compared to real warfighting generals like Sherman, Sheridan, Grant, Jackson (Stonewall and Andrew), Funston, Pershing, Lejeune, Patton, Smith (Howling mad), Puller, Arnold, Hulsey, Ridgeway, Olds, Abrams, Schwarzkopf, Mattis, Petraeus, Kean, et al just plain do not measure up.  They are politically driven wannbe GOFOs. 

I have pointed that these wannbes are more interested in promoting an environmentally friendly “green fighting force” that “looks like America” than they are winning battles and wars.  Not to long ago the wannbe admiral in charge of all US fighting forces in the Pacific declared that global warming was his #1 enemy.  He wasn’t fired, relieved, or directed to get a psych evaluation for that insane remark.  Apparently he missed the day at wannbe GOFO school when they covered expansionist China, pirates and Islamo-Terror-Fascists.

I do not even care if he actually believe his own BS.  The azzbag BS artist has to know he’s supposed to be WARFIGHTER and has no role with the Environmental Protection Agency.   If the path to victory goes through destruction of an enemy oil field, then the oil field gets destroyed.  This POS no doubt would demand a 25 year environmental impact statement before dropping bombs or sinking ship.

The list is endless of wannabes going along to get along with all manner of policy that they have to know, if not designed to outright destroy the force, will in the end weaken the force.  They are allowing women access to military occupational specialties with qualifications that any honest observer knows that there are not 1 woman in 10,000 could meet.  So as the sayin on this page goes, lower the standard and ignore the results as the Army did in pushing their “first ever” female Ranger graduates.  Turns out it was all BS. 

In the post below you can click on link that indicates the navy is waiving many their weight standards.   It’s ridiculous.  These people are supposed to look like warfighters not the line at Weightwatchers.    

The point of this rant was introduce this clip that says much the same thing in a more measured, logical and convincing way.

  

The brokered convention?

Idunknow could Cruz urge his voters to support Trump in FL to get Rubio out of the picture?  Weird huh. That’s what Cruz says he wants, a one on one against Trump.  What better way to that end than urge his supporters to vote Trump in FL - and while we’re at it - why not OH as well?  That’s maybe the best way for Cruz to clear the field.

I think there’s now an outside possibility that Cruz, Rubio and Kasich are all now banking on a brokered convention.  Rubio and Kasich are for sure.  Saturday Cruz said a brokered convention would be a disaster.  As the guy who stands to gain the most from any of the anti-Trump Rat establishment Republican shenanigans at the convention, maybe Cruz doth protest too much.  I can see him when the ReRs settle on him in Cleveland, “Shocked!  Shocked I tell you, that Republicans would stick a finger into the eye of millions of voters.  But if that’s the will of the delegates, what can I do?  I accept the nomination.”

Trump is also being a bit Machiavellian, I think, by his calling for Rubio and Kasich to drop out.  It seems to me, especially early on, Trump benefited the most from the fractured GOP field.  Also, Trump telling Rubio to drop out is like mom & dad telling sis not to “date that boy” or telling jr. not to “buy that car”.  Guess what?  They are going to do the exact opposite.  So when Trump tells Little Marco to drop out, he’s more likely to say, “Oh yeah, well eff you” and go all the way to the convention.

I’m absolutely delighted that it now appears to be a two man race and neither of the last standing candidates are a ReR bastard.  Mitt and his particular breed of ReR $h!tbird are being told loud and clear that their brand of crony go along to get along Demo-Dope lite is for the birds - $h!tbirds that is.

The bottom line:  Any BS the ReRs pull in Cleveland will blow up in their faces, as it should.  It will prove once and for all this breed of $h!tbird needs to be double flushed post haste.

The Trump phenomenon
Win lose or draw, honest people salute Donald Trump.  They should praise him, not only for bringing the most important issue facing America this cycle – immigration – to the fore, but for as a novice dominating the race since day one.  The ReRs need to be very careful how they handle Trump.  They need to keep in mind that he could shoot someone on 5^th Ave in NYC and not lose a single vote.  Had they spent 1/10^th the time trying to understand Trump’s success as they have dumping 100s of millions of dollars of negative ads on his head, they might have managed to coopt Trump keeping him and his supporters, if not happy, content. 

Trump is the consummate outsider. As such ReRs are treating Trump worse than they ever have treated any Dope pol.  They, as usual, have saved their most toxic vitriol for any conservative who isn’t bought by the ReR Party.  Case in point the ReRs start a #NeverTrump movement.  Wouldn’t that effort be better spent on a #NeverShrilldatheHutt movement? 

Yeah, I called Trump a “conservative”.  Let’s explore the major issues.  He wants t stop illegal immigration.  He wants to deport 12 million illegals already in the country.  He wants to lower taxes.  He wants to repeal Robertscare.  He wants to win the war against ISIS.  So what, exactly, is the problem?

He’s not a perfect candidate, but he’s better than most on the big issues.  98% of the Trump bashing is tailored toward personality rather than his announced policy.  The latest despicable meme is Trump is Hitler.  The ReRs should repudiate anyone making such an obscene charge.  Not so much for Trump’s sake, although that should be enough, but rather because it will be used against the party and the eventual nominee as coming from the party whose one-time front runner was a modern day Hitler.

So Glenn Beck et al. GFY.

Navy lowers the standards then ignore the results

192nd GOP Debate roundup

Kasich won.  It wasn’t because he reiterated for 10,000^th time the same boilerplate biographical information.  Has anyone heard the phrase, “I’ve done it”?  Kasich should adopt that as his campaign slogan.   It was the WWE performance of the rest of the field that made Kasich appear the most presidential.  I’m not counting out the chance Kasich could catch fire and win the nomination at this point, but he solidified his choice as the obvious VP selection.  If he were not a Caucasian male, Christian, married to woman, I’d say he had it 98% wrapped up.  But given that he is a Caucasian male, Christian, married to woman his actual chances are 50-50, particularly if Trump is the nominee.  There will be tremendous pressure to "diversify" the ticket.   Of course Trump doesn’t play that PC BS much so let me give Kasich a 75-25 chance at the VP slot if Trump is the nominee.

Rubio loser.  His obnoxious shtick is wearing thin.  That’s not me saying that of late.  I’ve always thought that he was the flimflam candidate in the race from his gang of 8 BS to his vote for gun control in 1999 as a city commissioner – that no one mentions.  He has not even offered a dismissive Trump like “Well, I changed my mind”, which honestly would be fine.  1999 was long time ago, but ask the damn question and find out.  But it’s not me dumping on the Rube.  Mrs. Lex was asking him to phu-leeeez shut up when he tried to talk over Trump time after time.  In her words she was “disappointed with Rubio.”

Mitt Romney is the second place loser.  Yeah, he’s such a loser he can’t even “win” the loser category (A bit Trump there.).  He was booed at the debate.  His bash Trump speech is likely to blow up in his and the Rat establishment Republicans’ faces.  We’ll see.

Trump finished on top of the middle.  Except for the Trump University thing, he swatted away most of the attacks including those from the moderators who at one point - I think - said Trump had to “prove his innocence”.  Trump said he could easily settle the Trump University case.  If he wants to be president, I’d urge him to do so quietly in a sealed agreement and make it go away.  I’m suspicious of “class action suits.”  “Hey we’re suing a rich guy.  Do you want to get in on it for a few bucks?”  Sure. Why not?  Except for honesty, a rare commodity these days, there is really no reason not to join.

I thought Trump helped himself dealing with the Fox takedown video.  He just said I changed my mind.  Do you continue down the same road when you know you’re wrong, or do you change?  Perfectly reasonable.

He also dismissed the “off the record” session with the NY Times that somehow got on the record.  No one brought up the dishonesty of the NY Times for leaking content of the off the record interview.  Of course Trump is right about not letting the tape be released.  It might not even have to do with anything dealing with policy.  We know Trump is a bit rough around the edges.  He might have had some unkind things to say about certain people or explained himself in a crude manner that he doesn’t want out there.

It was clear Rubio and Cruz are in Romney’s camp about ganging up on Trump.  However, if you go two-on-one and cannot take him out – which they didn’t in my opinion – it makes you look weak.  Outside of Kasich, the other three were in the mud way too much looking like kids.  Because everyone expects this kind of BS from Trump, it didn’t hurt him as much as the other two who are supposed to be “seasoned politicians”.

Cruz second place middle.  Cruz came off like revival preacher storming the rural counties of Indiana at the end of the season knowing he’s running few bucks short to get him through the winter so he ratchets up the brimstone trying to cover the deficit.  Cruz (and Rubio) made the unbelievable mistake of saying that, given Trump’s poll numbers, 70+% of Republican voters don’t want Trump, that he – Cruz - is the best choice.  Ted you are at 15%.  Does that mean that 85% of Republicans don’t want you?  Is 85 greater than 70?  Duh.  Stupid.  Cruz tells us the non-Trumpeters need to unite behind him, but he spends all night attacking Trump.  Remember, Trump could kill someone on 5^th Ave and not lose a single vote.  What good does it do to go after those votes?  Cruz is an idiot for not trying to put a kill shot on Rubio's campaign.  Plus as noted above, the only one to lay glove on Trump last night were the moderators.  When it’s the moderators who are doing the heavy lifting, fair-minded people object.  In these debates Cruz is stiff, pedantic, preachy and if not totally colorless, a whiter shade of pale.  Anyone remember Procol Harum?

If there is a 3^rd place loser the moderator win that honor.  They are more interested in good TV pitting one candidate against the other - or in Trump’s case against the field -than getting candidates’ current positions on important issues.  Fox Business has had by far the best moderated debate to date.

Let's face it the Rat establishment Republicans are just fine with letting Shrillda the Hutt win the general election

Several posts under Lex uncovers the “take my ball and go home” mentality of Rat establishment Republicans.  Here and here are other examples.  Two-time-loser Mitt Romney will do it live today.  Romney's speech will bump Trump up a point or two in the polls.

Having taken a beating in this process, it seems Marco Rubio, one time Tea Party darling turned ReR saboteur, now is happy to play the ReR’s hatchet man.  He cannot win but can taint the rest of the field for purposes unknown – unless Shrillda the Hutt is more preferable for the ReRs than Trump or Cruz.  Rubio is unlikely to reach an agreement with Cruz.  The ReRs loath Ted Cruz – perhaps more than Trump.  Rubio cannot reach out to Trump, well I suppose he could, but the ReR’s goal right now is to stop Trump.

The debate tonight could turn out to be two against one with Kasich and Cruz in the odd position of doing Trump’s dirty work on Rubio.  Both of those candidates gain by taking Rubio out.  Cruz gets the much sought after one-on-one against Trump and Kasich improves his VP potential by being the last ReR standing.  Well, that and being Gov. of Ohio.

For his part, Cruz’s only option if Rubio continues on his Kamikaze mission is an alliance with…drum roll please…Trump.  His other less likely option would be an unholy alliance with Rubio.  Whatever agreement Cruz would come to with Rubio will be worth squat when the nomination is done because ReRs hate Cruz more than Trump.  A Trump Cruz alliance could get control of the Republican Party and kick the effete ruling-class chowder heads that have done NOTHING to the curb for decades.

It seems to me the ReR’s reaction to Trump is no different than the Demo-Dope reaction to every Republican.  Proving once again that the two are different wings of the same bird.  The ReR’s are rolling in on their front runner as a racist for not repudiating David Duke for the 2,000,978^th time.  Two time loser Mitt Romney is playing the Harry the roach Reid role in this cycle demanding Trump’s tax returns.  In turn each of the other candidates have speculated that Trump’s failure to do is proof positive that he has mob ties, or he’s not as wealthy as he says, or he doesn’t pay enough taxes, or he doesn’t donate as much as he says.  Jeez could it be any more obvious the two parties are in cahoots?  Flash to the ReRs:  It's an election not a selection. So GFYs!!

As far as repudiating David Duke, Ann Coulter points out the obvious problem Shirllda the Hutt has if candidates are expected to repudiate every dirt bag that decides to endorse them – here.

Trump winner: delegate count secondary to the real win

The big winner last night was Donald Trump.  Yeah, yeah, yeah, he won some states and delegates but what makes him the big winner is the fact that both losers last night - Cruz and Rubio - are vowing to stay in the race to the end.  That should be enough to leave Trump on his current glide path to the nomination.

What candidates vow and what the donors are willing to fund are two different things.  Marco may want to stay in unti the end, but his vow to drive his pickup truck state to state if he has to may be the only thing his campaign is able to afford.

Cruz has the best shot to derail the Trump train.  So the Rat establishment Republicans may provide just enough funds to keep Rubio in order to keep Cruz out.  Rubio’s message at that point becomes:  Vote for me to get Trump the nomination, bit more importantly keep it from Cruz.  Rubio will continue with his less than convincing Don Rickles standup routine that will go nowhere.  So Rubio, who is the ReRs pick, will continue in the campaign mostly to a) keep a true conservative out and b) inflict as much damage as possible on the unorthodox outsider nominee.  Way to go ReRs.  You’re going a heck of a job.

Trump should repudiate David Duke when Shrillda the Hutt repudiates her old man

Okay first off, I repudiate, disavow, renounce, reject and otherwise crap on David Duke, just as the Donald has done over the last 25+ years.  So why in the world is the media in huff because he didn’t do it again on Sunday with Jake Tapper?  The result is another stolen news cycle or two for the Donald.  He’s got all of the previous repudiations in hip pocket for top cover to include a disavowing of Duke at a news conference the day before.  So at some point do you just stop answering the same stupid questions?

Also, Ronald Reagan was endorsed by the John Birch Society.  When asked to repudiate them Reagan refused saying, “They endorsed me.  I didn’t endorse them.” So when is Shrillda the Hutt going to be asked to disavow the all of the anti-American, racist, azzclowns who have endorsed her?  She can start with her raping, groping, slack-jawed old man?  "Mrs. the Hutt, an accused rapist and serial groper of women who has been accused by reliable sources of exposing himself several times to different women and hangs out with a know pedophile has endorsed your campaign. Will you repudiate your husband of convenience - Billbo Billyboy Clinton?”   

Talking about answering the same stupid questions, how many more debates do we need?  After the last debate, the number swirling around in my head is zero.  If there are to be future debates, and sadly there are to be further debates, the RNC should insist on a few new rules.  At a minimum, the mics of candidates not asked the question should be turned off until such time they are asked a question.  No more 3 and 4 people shouting over each other.  Also, anyone in the audience shouting or applauding gets escorted out of the facility.  No more obnoxious Rubio fan girls disrupting the proceedings. 

The one thing I’d pay money to see at a debate is the Donald turning to Rubio and holding his hand up – as for a high five – and say, “You’ve accused me of having ‘small hands’.  Let’s settle this right now.  Put hand up here against mine right now.”  I assume Trump’s hands are proportional to his 6’3” frame as Rubio’s are to his 5’10” frame.  It could be a knock out moment.

Glenn Beck caught in BS lie
BS Arteest Glenn Beck admitted that a copy of Don Quixote Beck used as a prop while stumping for Cruz is fake.  Beck claimed the book once belonged to George Washington and was purchased by Washington on the same day he signed the Constitution.  The book Beck was holding up was printed in 1796.  That’s juuuust a bit after the Constitution was signed.  9 years actually. 

So note to Glenn:  I have in my possession the exact copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone that Abe Lincoln bought on the very day he signed the Emancipation Proclamation.    Call me and we’ll negotiate a suitable price for this irreplaceable bit of Americana.  Idiot.

The Cube backs Trump

I am a big The People’s Cube guy.  It’s some of the best satire and photo shopping on the interweb.  The comments streams are hilarious.  Even the name is a clever bashing of progressives who demand equal outcomes irrespective of effort, talent, savvy, intellect or drive.  It’s derived from a Rubik’s cube with red stickers on every square to ensure an equal outcome.  The creator of the Cube worked in the old Soviet propaganda mills in Ukraine before coming to the US in 1994.  His perspective is one that carries the weight of knowing how the other half live – or as in most communist controlled states, don’t live. 

Interlaced in the satire are some gems.  This is one.  The Cube has come out and endorsed the Donald.  The reasoning is undeniable even for a diehard Cruz guy like myself bent on ideological purity.   By Tuesday this may become a Trump-eter web page.  There is no reason to beat a dead horse.  He’s never going to pick up the pace.  It’s better to just pick the next best horse in the race. 

Regular readers know that I never liked the Trump bashing from day one.  It was, as Trump himself might say – a stupid strategy engaged in by incompetent and stupid people.  Now Cruz and Rubio are all in on the bashing.  They look weak and desperate doing so.  The swells in the Rat establishment Republican Party never once tried to tap the energy of the Trump campaign and ride the wave.  Instead they screamed like the little Rubio fan girl at the last debate  - he’s not a conservative.  Now the Trump wave has just about laid waste to all of them as a surging tide lays waste to a child’s sand castle at the beach. 

I sensed it was over for Cruz when he went after Trump way too early in the wrong way.  All a smart reasonable guy had to do was to channel Trump in a more reasonable manner.  On immigration:  Yes, we will build the wall.  We will enforce all existing laws vigorously and over a few years the 12 million will become 5, then 3, then 2 million.  On Muslims:  We have not declared war Islam.  Radical Islam has declared war on us.  Sadly there are not enough “moderate Muslims” to change what has become the face of modern Islam – which is Jihad.  Until that dynamic changes, we should not allow anyone into this country who cannot be thoroughly and reliably vetted. 

Early on all it would have taken was a candidate without the bombast to reflect the same things Trump was saying in a more reasonable manner.  That’s my take.  Maybe Trump’s is a movement that was bound to be.  We’ll never know at this point.  

The Cube backs Trump because Rat establishment Republicans have nearly ceded the country to leftist without ever standing up to them in any reasonable manner - too afraid to be called racist, homophobes, xenophobes (why in the world doesn’t that word start with a “z”?).  All but lost are the media, academia and the entertainment worlds without so much as a grumble from the ReRs. 

Enter Trump who says what so many reasonable people are thinking and catches fire like an oily rag stuffed inside a Coke bottle filled with high test gasoline.  He has started something the ReRs cannot stop now.  Endorsement are now flowing Trumps way proving the smart money is on the Donald.  Rubio is now the deer who has been shot through the heart with a high powered rifle who bolts a few last desperate steps, not knowing he’s already dead. 

There are eight good reasons not to vote Rubio.  #1: Rubio.  #2: McCain  #3: Schumer: #4 Gramnesty #5: Bennet #6: Flake #7: Menendez #8: Durbin.  Combined they are the gang of eight.  There’s also the Islamo-Terror-Fascist ploy of saying one thing in English for the consumption of the US lapdog media and then the exact opposite in Arabic to the ITF at Friday prayers.  That's what Rubio did in Español on Telemundo.  There’s also his unseemly trashing of Border Patrol Agent Chris Crane who stood up to him on the gang of 8 bill.     

The ReRs for their part will not go quietly.  Proving once and for all that they and the Dopes are, as Pat Buchanan once said, different wings of the same bird.  The ReRs are lining up behind Shrillda the Hutt and/or a third party if Trump wins the GOP nomination.  The proof is here, here and here for starters.  There are many more examples.  It may be a last ditch effort to untrack Trump.  We’ll see after tomorrow’s results.  

So the ReRs would rather see Shrillda the Hutt nominate a leftist for Scalia’s seat on SCOTUS than back Trump.  Does anything else really need to be said ReR bastards?  

FLASH!!!  FLASH!!!  FLASH!!! TO THE RAT ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS:  When you trash Trump you are trashing his supporters who are kicking your ReR’s azz.  As always when the ReRs get their azz kicked in free and fair elections they take their ball and go home.  What they should worry about is NOT ReRs supporting a third party, but the Trumpeters becoming THE real 3rd party that will actually oppose the Dopes leaving the GOP with nothing but a bunch of George Will, Rich Lowery like eunuchs who cannot figure out which end of a hammer to grab.

Shout fest #10

Debate
I watched a bit of it.  Every time I did tune in two or three guys were talking – shouting - at the same time.  Were there any moderators?  I did notice a smirky Marco Rubio belittling Trump “for not having a plan” for whatever they were arguing about.  Uh, Marco, Trump does have a plan for shutting down immigration.  Jeff Sessions says Trump’s plan is EXACTLY what America needs.  So there’s that and that’s enough for starters.  

This is debate #10.  I can’t see this debate making much of a difference.  Rubio’s attacks on Trump reminded me of Christie smashing Rubio in debate 57.  Or was it 157?  Christie’s attack hurt Rubio, but Christie is gone.  I suspect that it was obvious that Rubio was attacking out of desperation.  Otherwise, why wait until debate #10?  Besides we all know that Trump could shoot someone on 5^th Ave in NYC and not lose a single vote.  I predict that any success Rubio had last night will sadly come at the expense of Cruz.

Look, Rubio is a grinning little sound bite tested machine, smooth as the water slides at Wet N’ Wild.  Marco slammed Trump for “starting with 200 million dollars”.  Trump says he started with a million.  Fine, whatever.  Well Marco, he started with somewhere between a million and 200 million dollars and has made billions from that investment.  He has a vast economic empire.  He has tangible assets worth billions.  He’s funding his own nation-wide campaign with the fruits of his labor.  That’s not too bad a return on whatever the investment was.

Meanwhile, Marco, you cannot keep your own credit cards straight and have been mired in debt until a Harry the roach Reid/The Empty Suit like sweetheart real estate deal bailed you out.  So, who are you going to trust with the America economy a) a guy who parlayed millions into billions and files a 1,000 page tax return or b) a guy who screws up a 1040A tax form and cannot manage to keep two credit cards in his otherwise empty wallet straight?  FNC is all in for Rubio this morning.  He remains #4 of the five for me. 

Trump’s taxes
Who cares?  He makes a lot money.  He tries to give as little as possible to the government.  That should be a resume enhancer for a GOP candidate.  I don’t get why Mitt Romney is playing like Harry the roach Reid for the Demo-Dopes.  Mitt, while the country has been circling the toilet bowl for the last 7 years, you haven’t said crapola about the sail eared douche who crushed your tired azz.  Now you wake up, put on your Harry the roach Reid mask and act exactly like the lying, thieving, old weasel who used your sissy azz in the last presidential election.  The big difference in this today is that Trump won’t just sit around and take it like Mittens did.  He’s swinging back.  Mitt STFU, please.  All you’re proving is that Trump is a much better candidate than you were.

The Empty Suit's weakness is responsible for recruiting far more jihadists than G'itmo

G’itmo is NOT a recruiting tool for Jihadists a weak America is
The Empty Suit said on day one of his disastrous first term that he would close G’itmo in a year.  Way to go TESy you’re doing a heck of a job.  Now with less than 11 months to get the job done TES has vowed anew to close G’itmo.  Just as when he shot his lying sewer slit off on day one of his first term, our sail-eared punk has no plan.  It’s like me saying I’m going to build a 40 foot yacht.  Mrs. Lex asks, What’s it going to look like?  Where are we going to get the money?  Where are you going to build it?  Where are we going to get the money?  Where will you store it?  Where will you get the money?  Do you know how to sail?  Where are you going to get the money?  Do you have any plan what-so-ever?  And most importantly, where are you going to get the money for this project?  Details shmeetails.  Like Captain Pickard on Star-Trek, TES just says, “Make it so”.

Then there’s the BS notion that G’itmo is recruiting tool for Jihadists.  That is such a line of crapola.  These godless heathens trapped in the 9^th century have been making war on the west for millennium before G’itmo was ever even known to exist.  It could close tomorrow and it would not make one bit of difference to the savage a-holes blowing people up in pizza shops, on busses, flying planes into tall buildings, shooting them down in their workplace, beheading them for being Christians, Jews, Hindus, etc.  It is a total BS argument.

I say again, the ONLY problem with G’itmo is that it is not operating at capacity.  I’d plow that soccer field under.  Rip out the cable except for guards and turn it into a less attractive place.  The only thing about G’itmo that is attractive to jihadis are the meals and relaxing life-style there.

TES’s never ending azz kissing of the world’s despots, his leading from behind, his get out and lose the war mentality, his America sucks attitude recruits far more jihadis than anything going on at G’itmo.  The jihadis know that America is run by a weak, feckless, Islamo-Terror-Fascist loving coward.  That’s why they flock to the cause.  If we started killing the bastards at the rapid rate again they’d be far less likely to join up.

Too late for the Rat establishment Republicans to channel Trump
So Trump’s not a conservative and Rat establishment Republican Party is apoplectic about it.  Bernie’s not a liberal either.  He’s a socialist/communist yet there is no hand wringing from the left.  Far from it.  Shrillda the Hutt is moving toward the socialist/communist.  Why isn’t the Dope Party out with all of its critics telling the Dope primary voter that Bernie isn’t a Dope Party regular – he’s a socialist!?  Well that is where that particular party wants to eventually end up.  So they give Bernie a pass.

I am rapidly becoming a one issue voter – immigration.  If we do not do something quickly, it’s game over.  Not for the Republican Party, F-em and good riddance to Pauli Walnuts, the Mitchster, JEB! and the whole lot of ‘em.  What will be gone will be any semblance of a two party system and shortly thereafter, barring a revolution, the country will turn socialist and be gone.

What I’m not hearing from the Rat establishment Republican types is how they intend to tap into the energy that Trump has created.  I’v e argued since day one that the way to beat Trump is coopt him on the issues.  The fact that ReRs cannot/will not coopt Trump tells me couple of things.  They don’t want to tap into Trump’s success.  It would set the ReRs back 30 years.  Trump’s ideas of sealing the border, building a wall and deporting the illegal aliens who have invaded the country is a nonstarter for ReRs.  So for me it’s “Go F-yourself” time for the GOP.  

Second, they know that they cannot - at this point - ride the wave of Trump support that through their own lies, theft of public funds, arrogance and incompetence they created.  The time to coopt Trump was on day one.  Instead the ReRs railed against him, belittled him and savaged him in every way possible.  The ReRs were like little kids standing in the tide on a beach somewhere trying to hold back the rushing waves with their little bodies.  The trick from day was not to hold the wave back but figure out how to ride it.   

So what do the ReRs do now?  They actually hang their hopes on a Rubio/Kasich ticket.  That’s how stupid the ReRs are.  That kind of boneheaded logic has gotten us precisely where we are. They cannot add up two poll numbers totaling less than 40 and figure out that the sum is less than Trump’s total.

I gave up on the Republican Party when they backed McCain. 

The Empty Suit’s kids at it again

Takes one to know one

Rat establishment Republicans in melt-down after Trump gives ReRs a classic beat down

Nevada Caucuses
Many are complaining about the mechanics of the caucuses, workers in Trump T-shirts, running out of ballots, people voting twice, no check of IDs etc.  Okay who runs the caucuses?  The Rat establishment Republicans – right?  So ReRs are complaining about themselves which is pretty much what the party is going.  So for once the Rat establishment Republicans have united the party.  

I don’t know why a caucus even exists.  I’m pretty sure it’s system whereby the lite think they can better control the unwashed masses from expressing their opinions.  You have to go and sit for hours while ReRs talk BS to you.  Then vote in public.  What kind of BS is that?  Enter the Donald who has the ReRs peeing themselves.  He’s increased the Republican vote and made the #1 issue – immigration - the #1 issue. 

CRUZ
My sense is Cruz is done.  He’s gone from 1^st to 2^nd to 3^rd.  The two lanes seem to have been formed.  Trump is in the outsider lane and Rubio is in the insider lane still wanting open borders.  Okay that’s simplistic, but I wouldn’t trust Rubio at all.  Rubio said 8 times on ol’ Turkey Neck’s show (O’Really) that he’s still favors amnesty for the 12 – really probably about 20 – million invaders already here.

I’d urge Cruz to consider ending his campaign now.  The handwriting is clearly on the wall.  Staying in will ruin his political future.  If he gets out it’s a win – win.  If Rubio wins Cruz can say, “Well for the good of the process, I cleared the field for you.”  If Trumps wins Cruz can say, “Well for the good of the process, I cleared the field for you.”  The difference of course is that Rubio would be gracious, but Trump would call him a loser who was going nowhere and wasting everyone’s money.  Sadly, at this point, I think Trump would be correct.

Staying in hoping Trump implodes is foolish.  He’s smart.  He’s cunning.  He’s on an unbelievable roll.

Rubio/Kasich
One of the most confounding things that I’ve heard is that Rubio and Kasich need to combine by announcing their ticket now.  What does a guy polling at 7% and losing in his own state bring to the ticket? 

These dopes are the same pols who think that they can rise taxes on businesses and then are shocked, shocked I tell you, that businesses refuse to cooperate.  Instead they move out of the country to avoid the tyranny. 

Trump will counter by announcing 4 possible running mates who will compete to be his running mate by arranging Trump events, making Trump ads, doing TV interviews etc.  Week by week Trump would hold a one hour news conference to fire someone, appointing them to a cabinet position as a consolation prize.

Donald Trump Jr. nails it
In an interview with Greta on FNC last night, Donald Trump Jr. nailed it.  When asked why he thought his father was doing so well the Donald Jr. replied, “Americans are just tired of stupid.”

Gun control advocate at a gun range
No doubt this dumbazz is gun control advocate that knows so little about guns that he does not even know that they go BANG!! when fired.

Here’s all you really need to know about Rubio
Unless he pledges in writing to secure the border no matter what within a year and enforce ALL existing immigration laws, we can do better.  I am beginning to think Trump is the only answer.

Here’s why.  Donald Trump read the words to Al Wilson’s song The Snake at rally and some slick ad guy added visuals.  Click and scroll down to the video.

Here’s Al Wilson’sversion.

More on G'itmo tomorrow.

Francis morphs into Pope Homer…again

As noted before, I have tremendous respect for the pope in matters concerning Catholicism.  As America well knows given the last 7 years, every institution has to, on occasion, deal with embarrassing leadership.  The Marine Corps had to suffer through a lying Famous crush the troops zoomie I don’t need no stinkin’ TBS Amos a wannbe general if ever there were one.  Now the Catholic Church has to suffer through a socialist/communist tending pope who morphs from Francis to Homer like a fashion model quick changes during a show.

In matters outside the church, Francis get about as much respect from me as Homer Simpson hence the moniker Pope Homer.  I find Pope Homer's treatment of Donald Trump’s position on immigration particularly offensive.  Pope Homer declared anyone interested in building walls rather bridges un-Christian.  YGBSM.  The interweb has been flooded with pictures of the massive wall that surrounds all of Vatican City.  Pope Homer!  Tear down your own damn wall.  Or as Rev? Al Not-So-Sharp-ton might say - hypocrisy much we must. 

Then there’s the condemnation of a guy that the pope doesn’t know about an issue that he is clearly a hypocrite about.  By contrast, when asked about gay marriage, Pope Homer shrugged, “Who am I to judge.”  Well honestly Francis nobody is asking you to judge, but how about a bit of moral clarity and if that’s too heavy a lift for you how about falling back on scripture.  Pope Homer couldn’t muster any of that about an issue that is clearly in a pope’s wheelhouse.

But ask him about one US presidential candidate’s position on securing America’s orders the pope responds - again channeling Rev? Al - judge muchly we must.  Pope Homer judges Trump to be un-Christian for wanting to secure his country which he would be bound by oath – so help him God - to do.   If it’s so un-Christian to build walls why did God order a wall built around Jerusalem?

Now what the pope has done will redound to Trump’s favor.  Why?  Well, Catholics are not the most popular people in the south.  So as usual, controversy will help Trump.

Pope Francis please concern yourself with matters Catholic. 

Thursday stuff

SC polls
Some are up in arms over the SC polls showing Trump at 40%.  It’s not the 40% that has them in such high dudgeon.  The internals of the poll also show that many of Trump’s supporters favor flying the Confederate flag and wish the South had won the Civil War. 

  

The same people clutching their pearls, grabbing the smelling salt and heading for the fainting couch over the that news are perfectly fine with polls that find high percentages of Mooooooslim Americans favoring jihad and sharia law.  So to them I say GFY.

    

CRUZ on the attack
Sadly, to me that is a sure sign he knows he’s in trouble.  Cruz was the guy who said he’d take the high road and run a positive campaign.  What we’re seeing is anything but.  Now Trump could get away with this.  He’d say, “My campaign is totally positive.” Then when asked about the 2 or 3,000 vicious attacks on other candidates he’d say, “Well look they hit me so I had to hit back very hard” and everyone would accept that.  Cruz gets called a liar and all manner of other less than flattering names by Trump and he looks desperate hitting back.

I think the reason is that Trump has been billed – incorrectly - by the Rat establishment Republicans so thoroughly as a clown.  So who hits a clown?  Desperate people, that’s who. Once you go down that road, Trump can escalate and remain totally in character.  While your own responses look more and more unhinged.

    

The worst thing that ever happened to Cruz – Glenn Beck’s endorsement – is proving more difficult as Beck claim’s God took Scalia to wake the American people up to fact that Cruz is the only answer.  Well I sort of doubt it.  I think the first question out of the box at the debate will be “Who is on your short list?”  Trump will have a list ready of totally acceptable nominees.  If anything it will help Trump.

I’m no lawyer, but…
How is Apple opening the phone of a dead Islamo-Terror-Fascist, a phone that apparently does not even own the phone, different from a landlord opening the door to the IFT’s apartment?  Apple should open this one single phone.  Had they done it quietly when first asked and worked out a non-disclosure statement with the FBI no one would have ever known that the phone had been opened. 

The Empty Suit to skip Scalia funeral
In what is being touted as a clearly racist move, TES is skipping the funeral of white Supreme Court Justice Scalia.  If I were a family member, I’d be delighted that the narcissistic POS wasn’t coming.  If he came he’d have to talk.  It takes the hairball 40 minutes to say hello and he’d spend more time talking about himself than the deceased.  The Scalia’s can breathe a sigh of relief that TES thinks he’s snubbing them when in reality his absence will be a very welcome relief. 

The Empty Suit channels Henry II

Michael savage says that Antione Scalia was murdered.  Savage is, at times, a bit unhinged, but because for some inexplicable reason no autopsy was performed who knows?  Sadly given the petty, thin-skinned, vindictive nature the walking talking POS that is The Empty Suit it doesn’t seem outside the realm of possibility that TES might have had something to do with the judge’s demise.  Not that he did it or even was an accomplice other than perhaps a King Henry like declaration, “Uh lemmee be clear uhmm, isn’t there, uh, no one, Beuler, class, anyone, who, uh you know, could arrange, uh like uh you know an opening on the Supreme Court?”      

If you do not believe this a possibility read this piece by Victor Davis Hanson that outlines all the BS this POS was willing to do, then ask yourself, is killing someone really all that farfetched for this this piece of crud.

  

Then consider this piece.   There’s a 90% likelihood that Scalia died of natural causes.  It’s totally within the universe of possibilities that he met with foul play.  You’d think given the number of conspiracy theorists in America that someone with a brain would have order an autopsy.

  

 The right Trump

Saw Eric Trump n Fox & Friends yesterday.  He’s clearly the Trump that should be running.  Trump would get another bump in the polls if declared that after winning he’d turn the whole thing over to son Eric.

Something from George Will that doesn’t involve an unhinged bashing of the Donald
Here are some interesting points about PC by George Will in a video.  

  

Billbo disses Kanye: everyone can comment on black music
Since Billbo Billyboy put some ice on it Clinton has declared that we are all mixed race, I feel totally qualified to talk about the state of black music in spite of Kanye West’s request for white people to stop writing about it.   Since the 70s most of it sucks.  That’s not racist because except for Christian Contemporary so does most white music.   Even Country Music has come off the rails for the most part.

Trump explained - well as far as anyone can explain him

Donald Trump once famously pointed out that he could shoot someone on 5^th Ave. and not lose a single vote.  The loyalty of Trump’s supporters may explain a lot about his Saturday night debate performance and put his boast to the test.  I think the Donald’s boast is correct as far as it goes.  Nothing he has said or done has dissuaded me from my opinion about him.  See The Fugitive analogy below.

The problem for Trump is that he’s my #2 pick.  I won’t vote for him until Ted Cruz is no longer a viable candidate.  It’s the famous ceiling that the talking heads have said he’d bump against – at 18%, then 22%, then 25%, then 30% certainly no higher than 32%, now he’s in the 40% range I believe.  Well I’m sure Trump does have a ceiling and I’m sure the talking head Rat establishment Republicans have no idea where it is.

Trump knows he has a ceiling among Republican primary voters as well.  In a crowded field that ceiling is lower than it might otherwise be so what to do?  Well SC is an open primary.  So if you’re bumping your head against the ceiling with Republican voters and your support is rock solid – as Trump’s seems to be – why not pursue some Dope votes?  Bashing G.W. Bush and the Iraq War, calling Cruz a liar, condemning the GOP Rat establishment Republicans booing him and threatening a 3^rd party anew, might all appeal to a Dope or two crossing the line to vote for Trump in the SC primary.

He can clean the mess up later.  As we’ve already seen he has a way saying he never said something he said and making it stick as with John McCain. 

When Cruz is out I’ll be a Trumpster.  The only thing that bothers me about Cruz right now is being on the same side with Glenn Beck.  He uses his now unlistenable show for a 3 hour Trump bashing.  It’s like seeing the same 3 minute animal cruelty commercial over and over again while watching a late night movie.  Okay Glenn we got it.  Please move on.  Even your rodeo clown act was better than the last 6 months of your radio show. 

A busy Monday

Tough talk before the cave
We’ve seen this play out 100 times.  Mitch McConnell and Rat establishment Republicans are talking tough after the passing of SC justice Scalia.  A conservative lion is gone.  The ReRs talk tough to assuage the feelings of grieving conservatives.  In a month’s time these same he-men Empty Suit haters will transform into compliant TES azz kissers.

We’ve seen it on the budget.  We’ve seen it on defunding PPH.  We’ve seen it on ending Robertscare. We’ve seen it…well as noted above, we’ve seen it 100 times.  Once the media starts with the polling that 978% of Americans want the vacancy on the court filled and TES’s approval rating just went to 185 % among far right conservatives, Mitch and the ReR cowards will fold. 

When TES nominates Noam Chomsky, Mitch and the ReRs will say, “Well this the kind of middle of the road commonsense jurist that we’ve always wanted.”  That or some BS excuse like, “Well TES won the election and our own elections by comparison don’t really mean that much.  What we really need is to control the house, the senate and the presidency.  That’s how the founders envisioned American democracy.  A strong executive running amuck over a weak, spineless and cowardly ReR congress.  We are not only happy to comply with that vision, it is our duty to do so.  When we control the house, the senate, the presidency, then we’ll only be handcuffed by the 5-4 lefty lib split on the Supreme Court that we sent up.  But someone will die soon enough.  When that happens, it's going to be Katie bar the door.”

   

Rat establishment Republicans channel Dr. Kimble
There’s something weird going on with the Rat establishment Republicans.  You know - the National Review, Charles Krauthammer, George Will, Pauly Walnuts cabal.  Ever since Trump entered the race and gained momentum they insist at every opportunity and in every manner possible that Trump is not a conservative.  They shout it.  They opine endlessly on cable TV about it.  They drone on for hours on the radio about it.  They write special editions about it.  JEB!!’s PAC spends millions advertising it.

The effort reminds me of a scene in the movie The Fugitive where Harrison Ford’s character - Dr. Kimble - is trapped by Tommy Lee Jones’ character - Marshal Gerrard - in a spillway overlooking a dam. Over the din of the rushing water, Kimble professes his innocence shouting, “I didn’t kill her.”  Marshal Gerard replies coldly, “I don’t care.”

The ReRs are like Kimble shouting at us, “Trump’s not a conservative.”  We’re like Marshal Gerard shouting back, “We don’t care.”  We gave "conservative" ReRs any number of opportunities to run government and every single time they screwed us.  Now we truly do not care.  We just want someone - anyone - who will secure the border and take the fight to the Islamo-Terror-Fascists.  Trump’s not a conservative. He’s brash.  He’s profane.  Just like Marshal Gerard does not care about the truth of Dr. Kimble innocence, we don’t care if Trump's not a conservative.  Just get the border sealed and ISIS’s azz kicked.

Conservatives have had their chances and they have p*ssed every one of them away.

The Debate
In a word - Embarrassing.  Anyone who thinks Trump’s unhinged-ness is going to affect his poll numbers should re-read the bit above.  We don’t care.  He actually made sense to me on the state of the Middle East and our involvement over the last 15 years, taxes (still favor fair tax) and immigration.  What else is there?

Trump’s critique of W was off base but while W won the war in Iraq - then lost it - then won it again, his failure to act swiftly and decisively in Iraq when it started to unravel gave rise to The Empty Suit.  Whatever else W’s legacy might be there is that and it’s sort of like Rubio’s membership in the gang of 8 – unforgivable.

And we could point out to the Donald that there were in fact WMDs found in Iraq.  But if JEB!!’s not going to, why should we?  The big question that remains is, where did the rest of Sadam’s WMD stocks go? 

Trump saying W was responsible for 9-11 by saying “it happened on his watch” is like blaming the new clerk at the 7-11 for a robbery.  Or if you like baseball, blaming W for 9-11 is like blaming a relief pitcher for giving up a run when he comes in with 3 on, no outs and facing the numbers 3, 4 and 5 batters.  9-11 was Clinton’s fiasco and another reason Shrillda the Hutt shouldn’t be allowed within a 100 miles of the White House.

There does not need to be anymore debates.  If they must continue, the RNC should tell moderators that the goal of future debates should be to nail candidates down on their current positions on issues not endlessly rehash Trump’s 1968 position on bell bottom trousers. 

The RNC has to stop stacking the audience in favor of JEB!!  JEB!! is like a dear shot through the heart with a high powered rifle.  The deer can bolt for a few yards not knowing he’s already dead before collapsing.   I actually feel sorry for JEB!!  He tries so hard.  Too hard.  When he was defending his mother and talking about how great she was and Trump piped in with “Maybe she should run” it was game, set match.  JEB!! never recovered from the low energy tag.

Kasich sounded like the last Boy Scout. 

Rubio was fine but was still a member of the gang of eight and is the new Rat establishment Republican favorite.

Carson was good and probably would make a good president.  Few are going to support him.

Cruz won.  No really he did.  Aside from everyone calling him a liar several times each, it was a good night.  Mrs. Lex declared Rubio the winner. 

Letter to the editor on Syrian refugees
Lex responded to an article about a local couple whose son was murdered by ISIS but still advocates bringing Syrian refugees into this country.  The letter follows:

First, condolences to the Kassig family.  I watched my own parents struggle with the loss of my sister at the hands of a murderer. 

Allowing Syrian refugees into this country is dangerous, culturally reckless, fiscally irresponsible and immoral.

It is dangerous.  Every credible US law enforcement agency that has testified before congress says there is no reliable way to vet Syrian refugees.  ISIS has warned that they will use the refugee crisis to infiltrate the west.  In this case one bad apple does spoil the whole bunch.   If you knew a barrel of apples had poisonous fruit therein, would you allow your kid to eat from it?  

It is culturally reckless.  When was the last fashion show seen in Tehran; science expo in Kabul; film festival in Riyadh or gay pride parade anywhere in the Middle East?  Evidence across much of Europe demonstrates that vast numbers of Muslims have no interest in assimilating into the host country’s culture.  Rather they establish sharia compliant ghettos that often become “no go” zones for authorities.

It is fiscally irresponsible.  Our country is now 19 TRILLION dollars in debt.  Much of that debt has been heaped upon our children by the same politicians who now want us to open our borders - not just to Syrians but to anyone who can manage to stroll across our southern border.  91.4% of recent refugees from the Middle East are on food stamps. 

It is immoral.  According to the UNHCR it costs 12 times more to transfer refugees from the region than to care for them in refugee camps in the Middle East.  While the Kassigs, Pope Francis and Bishop Rhoades preach compassion, ironically that “compassion” frustrates efforts to provide life-saving essentials to 11 Syrians for every one they insist on transferring to the US.
