Like every kid in America, from the earliest
age I longed to be the first on my block to build a briefcase
alarm clock that looked like a bomb and counted down to zero rather than
advancing forward. Oops, wait, nope,
make that a tree fort. Sorry about my
confusion there. . .
At any rate, it
appears that Ahmed, 14, wasn't confused when he brought a clockie-bombie
looking device assembled in a case into a Texas school and made concerted
attempts to make sure several teachers saw the device, before somebody actually
took the government's see something,
say something advice seriously and
called the cops (we also learn that Ahmed is allegedly well known to the school district, whatever that means. . .). No matter that, for now
the school is in trouble for daring to follow government guidelines, and no
doubt a lawsuit is in the works for violation of Ahmed's civil right to pack
any little suspicious thing he wishes as he's school-bound. You've already read about this curious
incident (and don't forget about Ahmed's dad, who hosts a very interesting
background involving aspirations to rule The Sudan and an association with the Muslim Brotherhood and C.A.I.R.), so we won't belabor the issue -- but be assured that, had Ahmed's
name instead been Throckmorton D. Wellington III, he would already be in reform
school and there would be no invitation to meet the White House
Marxist-in-chief, who can be very, very understanding and accommodating when
members of particular religious and ethnic populations are involved. After all, Black Lives Matter,
dedicated to making a hell on Earth for cops everywhere, just left the White
House with best wishes and compliments.
(Please, please,
please -- somebody take this president and his willing accomplices into
custody, try them and convict them. Big
Time prison sentences, too. Intellectual criminals, lunatics or (more likely) both, this bunch needs to be held legally accountable for its actions. And get the Muslim Brotherhood cult out of
our government, where it isn't supposed to exist in the first place.)
The Anchor
Monster from the Media Lagoon:
Leaks from ABC state that ABC-TV News anchor David Muir has taken to
yelling rudely at his subordinates and has become the "anchor
monster" ever since his ratings began dropping while viewers flocked
instead to Lester Holt on NBC. Murkying
up the situation even more, Muir reportedly insists upon doing his own TV
makeup, rejecting the work of ABC's makeup personnel as he re-applies makeup
appealing to his own standards -- resulting, according to some, in a yellowish
facial hue as the cameras focus. May we
suggest that he employ the cosmetic talents of Caitlyn Bruce Caitlyn
Bruce Caitlyn Bruce Caitlyn Jenner prior to future
appearances on the nightly news screen?
Besides, that yellow face is sure to produce jokes about yellow
journalism and the like. Muir, who nearly
collided with me years ago as he galloped out of a store I was entering, needs
a fast facial fix if he wants those ratings back. Or maybe he just needs to take on the Lester
Holt persona.
TV's Lost in
Space, 50 years later: Surviving
cast members still get together now and again to celebrate and remember, and
now the whole series is available on DVD.
Cheesy sets and mindless scripts, yes, but the series was enhanced by
the antics of "Dr. Smith" and the robot. The robot's
oft-repeated warning, "Danger, Will Robinson, danger!" has
become a part of our American vernacular, and we wonder if an older Billy Mumy
(Will Robinson) still hears himself starting off almost every sentence spoken
to his scheming dark-side mentor with the words, "Dr. Smith. . ." As for Mumy, forget Lost in Space --
I'm far more intrigued by the song, Fish Heads, written and performed in
later years by Billy Mumy and a friend under the phony names, Barnes and
Barnes. Exuding simplicity and
sparse on words, Fish Heads can probably be interpreted by some subversive
minds as a very naughty song.
Trump and Carson
on Islam: Sharia law is incompatible with the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. You've heard it, you've read it and it's true. The question remains, how do you tell the
peace-loving Muslims from the terrorists as this population grows?
Imams in this country, some already expert at visiting prisons and
converting bad guys into worse guys, will continue their work and we'll be
screwed as a society without quick intervention, as the flood of
"refugees" continues. Are
there Islamic villages in the U.S., places which worry the FBI? Yes.
In fact, in travels, I sometimes pass near one. One doesn't wish to think the worst, but
becoming dismissive of the evil planned over and over to destroy one's own
nation is as hazardous as ignoring the elephant in the living room. Carson -- and Trump, despite his other
comments -- need to be taken seriously on this one. Danger, Will Robinson, danger!
