Okay, let's dispense with this one right up front: Yes, those phony names for the Asian airline
crew were funny, particularly as recited without hesitation by a member
of the revered TV media in California. I
mean, Saturday Night Live couldn't have pulled this off any better than
the authoritative delivery shoveled out on a TV news program. Offensive?
Insensitive? Don't know about that, we really need to grab a laugh or
two anywhere we can these days from a pretty humorless world. And as far as the Asian airline goes, now
determined to sue the TV station -- those Asian corporate litigation-lovin'
folks maybe need to worry less about being "defamed," and worry more
about the dead and injured passengers violently "deplaned" from their
own aircraft. The divert the blame
strategy is soooooooo "old hat" now.
By the way --
ever notice how local TV station news personnel often can't even properly spell
the words appearing in "crawls" traversing TV screens?
Who?
Who? Who?

which, by the way, cleared the way for all of the above to do what they do.
What happened to
TWA Flight 800? A very controversial documentary has emerged
about this older, still infamous airliner explosion. Was a terrorist missile involved? Whatever the truth, disturbing accounts by
eye-witnesses who were not allowed to testify during hearings, some of
whom claim government officials warned them not to talk, are of creepy
interest. Which reminds me -- how's that
UFO disclosure going for you?
A cruel
observation: This Administration has become an
international laughingstock, not to mention Putin's own Punch & Judy
Show, leaving citizens of the United States the only population this bunch,
led by the worst and weakest president ever, can truly bully and
manipulate. Funny how that works.
The main thing
the nationally irrelevant George Zimmerman trial settled is that we
continue to have a dependable population of street thug morons, sub-animal
entities and avowed communists who foam at the mouth anytime they have an
opportunity to take to the streets, cause mayhem and steal things as they trash
storefronts. These people don't care a
whit more about Trayvon's death than they do for the always impressive
statistics regarding black-on-black murders and violence, especially involving
young black victims (hello Chicago, hello Philadelphia, hello Cincinnati. .
.). National media rarely cover such
matters, preferring instead to go orgasmic over TV non-sensation preacher Al
Sharpton's and the Rev. Jesse Jackson's abilities to whip up demonstrations as
if administering a fire sale featuring real fires. The outstanding thing such rabble-rousers
have done over the decades, unfortunately with implicit cooperation and
legislation initiated by Democrats, is to keep the black man and woman down and
subservient in this country, never allowed to become more than victims of
"white privilege." Instead of
protesting the justice system in Florida -- which worked exactly as it was
supposed to -- those who insist upon remaining black and angry might serve
themselves better by shrugging off the long disconnected, and frankly rather clownish, Sharpton and Jackson, and start looking up to rock-solid
black role models such as military hero Allen West and esteemed neurosurgeon
Dr. Benjamin Carson.
And whilst some
cities experience minor riots and others rage, where is the
President? Shouldn't the instigator who
announced even before the facts were in that if he had a son he would look like
Trayvon say something to calm the atmosphere of anger in the
streets? No, instead we have Stevie
Wonder and. . . Miley Cyrus???. . .and other celebs who, regrettably, have an
hypnotic effect and ability to influence the mindless among their fans who are
unable to think for themselves, and those fans look upon their idols as if
substitutes for their own brains.
So Eric Holder
steps in, the Dept. of Justice's knight in shining armor, and he's going to do
everything he can to see if this can be twisted, bent and forged into a civil
rights matter, and in today's climate the concept of double jeopardy doesn't
mean a damn. One is no longer either
guilty or innocent, because first the DOJ has to bite off a piece of you, and
then other courts make sure you're sued for civil damages. Zimmerman -- ah yes, the racist who was so
racist that he and his wife tutored minority children in school lessons and
helped minorities in other ways.
But Eric Holder
may not care about such things any more than thugs of the street care about
Trayvon Martin. Holder cares about
special justice, social justice, guns you shouldn't have and stand your
ground laws. Holder, the lovable
chief DOJ embarrassment who should have exited or been tossed from his job long
ago, and certainly after Fast and Furious -- about which he reportedly
continues to refuse releasing documents -- came to light. The F&F operation resulted in
numerous Mexican (and American agent) deaths, and to date nobody seems
interested in taking responsibility.
Meanwhile, those who should take responsibility will instead
concentrate on nudging the legal system more to their liking. It's all about control and power, and soon
Trayvon will be known as Trayvon Who?
While many agonize over Zimmerman and Martin, political demons continue
their sleight-of-hand tricks in the shadows, relatively unnoticed, focused upon
a myriad of ways to rule and regulate our lives.
(Strange little
interview with Martin's female friend on Piers Morgan's TV show. . .where she
admits warning Martin on the evening in question that Zimmerman might be a
rapist. . .and that his little brother was at home. . . and then maybe Martin
worried about his home location being discovered. . .leading one to believe
that Martin may have panicked and started beating Zimmerman. . . as the
initiator of violence.)
The immigration
Trojan horse rolls on as both Democrats and Republicans can't move
quickly enough to show more concern for border-jumping criminals than they do
for your legal family. You see, in some twisted mindset we owe it
to the lawbreakers to forgive, accept and shut up. As political tears flow like mighty rivers
for those folks, I've become increasingly confused and sometimes I'm uncertain
if I'm referencing La Raza or the Muslim Brotherhood,
particularly because each has visited the White House. As I recall, one includes members destined to
destroy America, while the other is composed of people who hope to bring the
country down. Hmm. Well, that's no help at all.
An additional
observation: The congressional progressives and cowards of
either party, poised to throw out the legalization welcome mat to 11-30 (??)
million criminal aliens, will make their biggest mark by screwing over the
youth of America -- their own children included -- who will have no choice but
to grow up and endure a constant battle for jobs, education and a reasonable
life itself as they fight their way through growing crowds and mobs of human
misery. Your kids are about to embark on
activities of daily living in a third world country, unless the House is warned
and voter demands are insisted upon to avoid all new immigration
legislation. Not to sound trite, but we
already have legislation from years gone by, still awaiting proper enforcement.
It's long been a
mystery why Congress continues to host a black caucus and an Hispanic
caucus, yet deprives some of us of a Caucasian caucus to address our own
special needs. Now, I'm not inciting
racism here, and if you skip over to my Air Force blog's first page you'll find
a group photo featuring a black NCO who was my supervisor at a USAF hospital in
Texas -- and the sergeant consistently wrote excellent performance reports for
me and was a good friend. No, I'm not a
Klan member -- and as you recall from history, the Klan was a Democrat concoction, anyway.
Nevertheless --
I hear a lot these days about "white privilege," and as a white male
I assume that references something such as my white privilege pre-induction
military draft physical during the Vietnam Era.
Or maybe the subsequent Air Force enlistment was my white privilege.
Years later,
re-joining government employment as a civilian with college, I took a
nationally administered federal government test in the early eighties, did well
on it and hoped it would advance me to even more white privilege with a better
job. Alas, the government was sued by
entities convinced the exam was unfair specifically to black and Hispanic
people, the government lost the case, and it was subsequently replaced with --
nothing. With that occurrence, yes, I understood
all too well that this ruling indeed bestowed white privilege upon me and
others.
However, far
from doing favors for minorities, I believe the lawsuit's result actually said
to talented minorities that they were considered too stupid to pass the
exam -- and they, like I, were cast aside so that some other system
could be developed to allow considerably less talented and/or less prepared
and/or less educated people to assume government positions. And that's why, in the current day and age,
you wonder how government at all levels is filled with often incompetent people
who can't do their jobs and certainly can't bother serving you. My test results may have been discarded to
pretty up the race card -- which I understand all too well -- but, not to
worry, I still have my white privilege.
Whatever that is.
Edward Snowden
-- From Russia Without Love: His
well-touted heroics are starting to fade and young Ed's options seem tenuous at
best. Still, I'll go with my original
half-kidding suggestion -- that he be given immunity so he can return to the
U.S. Looks as though the government
couldn't be much worse off from his leaks than it already claims to be. Nevertheless, there are always whistles ready
and waiting to blow.
Janet Napolitano
departs Homeland Security to run the vast University of California
system. With her expertise, I'm sure
she'll turn in plenty of illegal alien university students. But seriously -- why did she leave? Are the Democrats trying to sweep troubled
times and old faces of controversy out of the way so everything looks brand
spanking new and innocent by the time midterm elections come around? True enough, the electorate quickly forgets.
Stoning those who are already stoned at The Rolling Stone: Okay, so they chose Boston's favorite radical Islam terrorist cover boy for this month's issue, and a lot of people aren't pleased. One thing's for sure -- that bad-boy cover will sell magazines o'plenty. However, secondarily we might hope that those who actually purchase the issue will read and learn valuable lessons about a jihadist murdering throwback human monster incarnate. Had I been the editor, I suspect I might have paraphrased from a famous caption of the old Rolling Stone issue spotlighting, by then, a long deceased Jim Morrison: He's hot, he's sexy and he's
