Bits and Pieces for January 2018



Journalism's sinking ship:  Imagine that. A photojournalist has come forward with a picture of Barack Obama posing with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.  Were we not assured that Obama and the racist of all racists had never met?  Seems that the photo, now released and displayed mainly by sources with nothing to hide, was taken before the elections and the photographer was allegedly advised and decided not to release it, lest Obama encounter complications on his way to a very, very horrible presidency.  Of course, along the way nobody could put blinders on the fact that Obama attended the Rev. Wright's racist church for at least 20 years, and hiding this damning photo from the public in order to accomplish the usual leftist political agenda should be no surprise.

From the womb to you:  Now it's a 15-year-old murdering two others of the same age in a school, as public school shootings and assorted violence appear to be making a comeback, reflecting frenzied human society at its most natural.  Sometimes we wish the act of copulation between men and women could result in birthing something useful, not more children doomed to become killers, thieves or leftists.  For instance, couldn't nine months of anticipation result in, oh, say, giving birth to a kitchen utensil?  Maybe an eggbeater or a handy sponge?

We've mentioned on several occasions over the years the cryptic words, your babies aren't cute anymore.  We stand by those words because their meaning goes far beyond the surface.  Yes, human populations are declining in some places, increasing in others, but the basic question of how many is too many begs the question every day.  We aren't very good stewards of the hamster cage in which we live, a consequence of numbers as much as carelessness, ignorance and greed.  We just glanced at another news report claiming we humans may buy the farm  in 50 years anyway, so maybe time itself will, um, if you will, heal all wombs (as in closed for business).  At this point, almost nothing surprises us.

Speaking of nine months, media hounding on the Trump-Wanted-Mueller-Fired theme has become a 24/7 chant, essentially meaningless after the first five minutes of reportage, but apparently provisional and glittering enough to keep the press occupied as if with a new toy.  The could'a been is a didn't happen, so now what?

The Big Memo From Hell?  A FISA warrant obtained to investigate presidential candidate Trump unlawfully involving Obama, the Democrats and the FBI higher-ups?  Is that what may come out in a few days, when and if "the memo" now seen in private by all congressional members is released publicly?  Some congressional members have expressed a degree of outrage we've not seen in quite a while.  Is there a "secret society" after all, but infested in a place unsuspected until now?  Right now, we know little, but that may change dramatically very soon.  IF government works the way it should.  Good luck with that.

Thank you, NBC-TV and Lester Holt for popping on over to North Korea and doing a bang-up job extolling cardboard virtues of a society hiding its walking dead, starvation and brutality.  Man oh man, our ability to receive the truth from American media sources just gets better and better.  Perhaps NBC will next transport our TV screens to Iranian prisons, portraying them as health resorts.

Pelosi, Schumer and the other usual immigration suspects have become frantic in opposing what Trump must do.  With Stephen Miller steering the efforts with Trump, we hope the radical, anti-American plans of these far-lefties are sent packing soon.

Football:  They really should call it head ball. Now really, NFL and the rest, your market strategies raked in billions of dollars over the years.  Yet, few to zero players or officials could never put two and two together and come up with total disaster when lives are spent violently knocking heads?  Nobody realized heads contain fragile brains?  Concussions are as old as we, yet only recently did anybody tie head collisions to irreversible brain injuries.  I think we'll stick to outdoor volleyball -- at least scantily clad players of either sex exhibit only the foolishness to believe sunscreen will prevent skin cancer.

Domestic violence:  This social phenomenon of eternal longevity is a major reason why police officers end up being killed in the crossfire of human emotions gone ballistic.  One almost becomes comfortable with suggesting that DV calls at 9-1-1 be handled from the aspect of keeping the officers safe despite the threat presented.  Why should police officers sacrifice their lives because of one's unfortunate or downright stupid choice of a live-in partner, otherwise known as a "love interest."  More than love swims around in some of those demented heads.

Artificial intelligence:  No, some of us do not wish to become integrated with AI any more than we want pods from outer space to descend and assume our identities.  To the so-called futuristic geniuses striving to remake us all in their image, I say to hell with them.  We demand a choice and freedom from the shackles of forced compliance.  And, sorry Blogger (which hosts this blog, owned by Google), but I want governments investigating Google, Facebook, Amazon and all the mega-giants entertaining a growing capacity to take over our lives significantly.  In the words of the street, it just ain't right.

Dreamer Reamers




What a lovely civil war we're having.  At least it's still in the bad-mouthing stage, and now that Schumer and the Democrats apparently blinked, if not self-enucleated, regarding their Big Plans for the "Dreamers" and everything that chain migration promises a fragile democratic republic, maybe something lesser and rational will occur.

I want to take this opportunity to love that which all Democrats and many Republicans detest.  No, it's not freedom.  Actually, it's Trump's White House bright boy Stephen Miller.  Miller, increasingly, is identified as a major reason why things aren't going well for illegal immigrant legislation.  Unfortunately for his critics, Miller is no fool, apparently well-versed in immigration law and The Way Things Are Supposed To Be in the United States when it comes to aliens (no, UFO folk, not THOSE aliens) invading the country.

So the government is open again after a brief and absurd "Schumer Shutdown," and we await the next chapter in the Dreamer drama.  Democrats are bound to oppose ending chain migration, a flaw potentially allowing the Dreamer infestation to bring in all their dumb-ass relatives who likely speak little English and possess no skills other than a proficiency in seeking out a welfare office with the kind assistance of Democrat Party headquarters.  You gotta pay for that, you know?

Yes, I know something must be done for the Dreamers, and Trump said as much, but let's also not call them kids anymore because they are now in their twenties and thirties.  One thing I would insist upon, were I king of the universe, would be a mass kick-out of their parents, who started all of this trouble in the first place.  Y'all Dreamers wanna get angry?  Get angry with dad and mom who brought/birthed you here to begin with, don't instead get pissed at U.S. taxpayers who, one way or another, foot the bill of support.  Oh, and get angry with Obama, too, as he's no virgin, more obviously a perpetrator in this firestorm as eager embracer of the unconstitutional.

We hope Trump's negotiations remain firm, that we throw out chain migration immediately, that the visa lottery exits, and may the maleficent "anchor baby" scam end once and for all.

Women march:  Okay, now that women in the know are supposed to hate men, what comes next? Some of us have enough trouble wondering why we still have black -- sorry -- African-American history month, so expecting the masses to figure out the latest marches of utter rage may be asking too much.  Maybe some of those weekend marchers can explain exactly what penis envy is.

Democrats -- Guardians of a Sh--hole Universe



Sh**hole defined by WordWeb (Informal term) An unpleasant or disgusting place.


Really, I have no idea whether Trump said the words attributed to him.  How would I know?  He attended a closed-door meeting where one might assume a certain amount of heated free-range speaking goes on, coupled with some expectation of privacy among participants.

Except that Senator Dick Durbin (add a third D for Democrat) was in the room, apparently playing the role of a blabbermouth fly on the wall, though he's not a fly and he wasn't on the wall.  Like a schoolyard tattletale, Durbin could hardly hold his bladder long enough to rush before the media and pee all over Trump and the immigration meeting.  Durbin's good at this sort of thing, apparently having a history of saying things.  Did he not make some rather degrading reference equating U.S. Marines with Nazis a few years ago?  Durbin also is said to have an aggregate past of making things up.  But we're sure the labor unions love every square inch of D.D.

Truth is, the world is sprinkled with sh**holes, thus the reason for said sh**hole inhabitants desperately attempting to make their way out, often headed toward the United States.  Surely, this is no secret in Haiti or among various African and South American nations?

And it's no secret among the Democrat crowd, the progressive delusionals who can't wait to stuff the U.S. with new, confirmed Democrat voters destined to make radical liberalism the law of the land, as we drift ever closer to "one world" under the evil auspices of United Nations loonies driven to create one big, miserable hive devoid of individual achievement and self-determination.

We believe we recently heard statistics relative to a finding that somewhere around 70 percent of black folk in the U.S. are now immigrants?  How will that help job and education opportunities for black people citizens born in the USA?  It won't.

Did Trump allegedly say something in a racist vein?  No, but we escaped eight years of a President who implied racism and anti-American values from dawn to dusk.  Obama, stacking the deck on immigration to the point where European (white) people were seemingly pushed aside in favor of "preferable" skin colors and races from other parts of the world, appeared on David Letterman's new talk show a few days ago, singing the same old song.  Me, I'm always keen on noticing how he refers to the U.S. as a democracy instead of calling it what it is -- a democratic republic.  There's a huge difference, one being a country like Venezuela and the other America.

Meanwhile, Democrats, feeling a lot more feisty now that Durbin crapped Trump's DACA/immigration reform bed, feel they AT LAST have something to hang over Republican heads as the 2018 congressional elections draw near.

Political leftists truly act as guardians of the world's sh**holes when illegal immigration is involved, and arguments could be made that a significant ground zero point for this began in 1965 when the late drunken and negligently homicidal senator Edward Kennedy, helped along by LBJ, managed to open up the immigration floodgates with promises that things would never get out of control.  Uh huh.

The result of haphazard immigration "control" has been an influx of miserable and evil agenda-ridden people who hate and/or will never care about American values, learn the language or contribute a damned thing.  Did we not hear that at least three-quarters of illegal immigrants and their children are on some form of welfare, while over 30 percent of the nation's prisoners are illegal aliens?  Thanks, progressives, for helping this along.

The left doesn't want anybody messing around with the world's sh**holes, because they consider the inhabitants and contents the personal property of the Democrat Party.  DNC speakers can't very well conjure up images of the world's poor and miserable if lives are changed through efforts other than their own.  The DNC can't expect to grasp the golden ring of absolute power without lying or exaggerating their asses off to continue importing new voters illegally via any means necessary.

Let us not forget that not all of the reprehensible are Democrats.  Many are simply members of the Elite who manipulate, rather than populate, any particular political rat hole.

If Trump referenced sh**holes, said holes belong to Durbin's party, and the only action his precious party can take is to dig 'em deeper while simultaneously expressing what passes for compassion.  There must be a DNC playbook somewhere, instructional for same old, same old.

By the way -- El Salvador residents who came here on a temporary basis after an earthquake struck years and years ago?  Trump says it's time to go, and that's an understatement.  El Salvador could have been rebuilt several times by now, and the fact that some El Salvadorians started businesses here (!) is of no consequence.  So, gotta go.  Git.  It's the law.

Interesting, too, that tons of equipment the U.S. mainland sent to Puerto Rico for rebuilding reportedly continues to collect in warehouses, waiting for Puerto Rican electric personnel to do something with it.  Meanwhile, the island overwhelmingly lacks electricity -- apparently thanks to Puerto Rican authorities themselves.

Democrat Rep. John Lewis appeared on one of the Sunday talk shows, and of course he ha-a-a-a-a-a-a-tes Trump, and answered affirmatively that he believes Trump is a racist.  Lewis (who's the racist here?), strangely, believes that immigration is a civil rights issue (whaaaaaaaa?), though I believe rational Americans would agree that immigration is actually a privilege, not to be abused.  Incidentally, at this point I'm not going to throw myself at the feet of the Great God Lewis whom, as a member of the Congressional Black Caucus (yes, I'm jealous, I want a caucus for the rest of us) supports by default the Democrat Party, original home of the Ku Klux Klan, the Democrat Party's militant branch.  One can hardly mention Democrats without thinking of the KKK.  One would think that Lewis, of all people, would have scooted far away from the Dems long ago.  Then again, it was good enough for the late Sen. Robert Byrd, a reformed sheet-wearer from way back.

The ideal immigration bill:  No visa lottery, no chain migration, initiate E-verify for all employees with harsh penalties for employers hiring illegals, no "anchor babies" or foreign birth tourism, no sanctuary cities -- and DACA parents responsible for bringing/birthing kids here must be kicked out of the country.

Chelsea Manning yanks on the scab:  Another Obama victory, this one involving the presidential pardon of pure treason dressed up in women's clothing.  So now what?  So now he/she intends to run for the U.S. Senate in Maryland.  Perfect.  Isn't it amazing what a pardon can do for the lawfully condemned?

President Trump's physical exam:  Any doctor who admits, as Trump's does, that genetics play a role in one's health is a welcome sight, as there are still so many who believe one size fits all, especially with medication "needs" and dosages.  What disturbed me greatly were some members of the press, who asked a litany of juvenile and stupid questions of the physician, obviously hoping for some weapon to crack Trump's health egg.  Frightening, actually, how these folks don't know much about medicine in general.  I was reminded of a high school journo class's first day.

Hollywood:  Actor Mark Wahlberg should have sat this one out and not been  intent on infusing himself with an estrogen drip.  Actress Michelle Williams had already made her statement about refusing or giving back her salary for working re-do on a movie "disgraced" by Kevin Spacey's presence.  As I recall, Williams is an adult and she made her decision.  To fuss about it and play the victim after the fact because of one's own decision cheapens the entire affair.  Instead of Wahlberg wasting a million bucks by contributing to something called "Time's Up," I would suggest instead that "crime's up," in a new scam, and maybe a donation to an animal rescue organization would be a better option.  Michelle Williams?  Poor thing, I suspect she'll survive her own decision regarding salary -- an inept decision, perhaps, but owned by her solely nonetheless.

We boldly suggest that the poor woman/evil man thing will eventually eat its own tail, pushing human entities further and further away from one another.  Intentions have consequences, some in great demand by a select segment of society.

Techno-downside:  With changes at the FCC regarding Internet options and digital widening, we are rather concerned about the likelihood that a million or more ADDITIONAL cell towers will be going up all over the U.S., and some interests want them installed in national parks (disguised as trees!).  Because the scientific back-and-forth over possible damage subjected to humans and animals by cell tower microwave radiation transmissions continues, we urge nothing but caution.  The very thought of brain tumor formations and genetic damage with consequences unknown should scare us into the woods -- oops, except new towers will be there, too.

We wonder often whether denizens of the technical/computer world know or care how their brilliant efforts will eventually illustrate inescapably the phrase, "there's no place to run."  We humans will construct the world's greatest artificial intelligence leg-hold trap, willingly snapping its jaws on whatever vestiges of freedom remain.  Who decides?  Who?

Cold Case, January 2018



Global warming has turned out to be a terribly chilly affair this winter, and while the prospect of writer's frostbite may sound adventurously appealing, I plan to take a pass and sit out some of the season.

I did watch a few minutes of the Golden Globes on TV, but felt like an unwelcome visitor at a vampire convention, what with all the black attire, and not to mention all the either obvious or disguised man-hating rhetoric.  There's nothing like dragging political points of view into a celebration.  That's entertainment?

Seems that James O'Keefe of Project Veritas is on the prowl again -- and this time he's out to demonstrate via hidden camera and microphone that Twitter's officials may harbor an agenda or practices not quite in line with what their customers want.  This  story has the potential to blow sky-high in the days ahead.

I'm out of here for now, or maybe we'll meet in a time warp.  Meanwhile, stay in touch with the link list.

Iran Screams


When Iran endured a social uprising in 2009 President Barack Obama was handed a golden opportunity to make statements strongly in support of Iran's people, long suffering under extremist Mullahs who catapulted the country backward in time, forced into a vice-grip of strict Islamic rule.  Instead, curiously, Obama did nothing -- except he DID do something, as we now know.  Obama was determined to achieve a legacy-enhancing deal with Iran, and he apparently entertained no obstacles as he followed a pathway eventually ending in an absurd agreement over nukes and other matters, culminating also in the delivery of millions of U.S. dollars in cash to Iran, accomplished pretty much in the dark of night.  When the New York Times, of all things, exposed this ruthless Obama/Iran relationship, the circumstances behind Obama's lack of action in 2009 suddenly offered clarity.

Refreshing is the contrast now, as President Donald Trump takes full advantage of Iran's current chaos, encouraging Iran's miserable population, no longer wishing domination by an extremist regime intent only upon squandering national riches on promoting terrorism abroad, neglecting or brutalizing altogether Iran's people.  The barbarity of Iranian prisons is already well known, so Trump's reference to human rights violations barely touches a hot surface, as the country violently self-destructs by degrees.

Anybody who might have read my former Air Force blog (I dismantled it because I experienced problems carrying it on LiveJournal. . .maybe I'll put it up on Blogger sometime) knows that during my Air Force training decades ago the USAF took on an experiment where two young Iranian women joined our class.  Obviously, this was the era when the Shah still ruled Iran, and the U.S. and Iran at that time were on friendly terms.  We routinely trained Iranian pilots.

I'll post their picture here, cut from a graduation photo taken when our class ended in the sixties.  I decided to blacken out their eyes in the photo, just because I don't trust Iran's radical police element, even some fifty years later.  The fact that these very nice and smart young women (whose names I can't list, either) came to the U.S. attired in Western clothing, attended U.S. schools and then returned to the hell which overtook Iran after the Shah would hardly gain them acceptance among the extremist vultures holding Iran in a death grip.  Maybe, just maybe, this time the Iranian people will deal with these thugs, and it's just so wonderful that Trump issued a few words of bold assurance. (Note:  Newest information from Iran indicates that the country's brutal guard personnel may have squashed the demonstrations, at least for now.  But as Trump said -- the world is watching.)

Miss America under new management:  Look, women no longer like to be called "miss," and except primarily for male audience members and wannabees who keep this televised dinosaur walking the earth, would most folks really object to ending this meat market ritual, its reason for existence apparently dependent upon demonstrating that beautiful ladies can have brains, too?

Marijuana for everybody:  States continue to go crazy.  Smoke it, eat it or find a way to take it intravenously -- it's still chock full of chemicals and really bad stuff set to invade one's lungs and other organs.  Unfortunately, young folk often believe they will live forever, health consequences be damned.  As states slowly legalize this stuff, rational minds must ask why.  Aside from states expecting a huge tax windfall, we wonder if much of the joy demonstrated by an anxious weed-lovin' public hasn't come about mainly because people believe they've won a thrill-victory of sorts over The Authorities.  Fine.  Now what? 

Astronomers continue discovering Earth-like planets:  And we wonder how many of them, had they hosted life, encountered asteroids over the millennia which wiped out every trace of it?

Take a pill:  While law enforcement and government agencies go nuts attempting to control the opioid addiction, the FDA and associates happily unleash a non-stop blizzard of new "legal" medications intended to affect every bodily organ and function.  Aside from questions regarding future harm on DNA sequences and damage accumulating merely by the indiscriminate excretion of medications into the environment, the fact that pharmaceutical corporations survive only by perpetuating a vicious cycle of manufacturing new, often dangerous drugs given the "okay" by people with uncomfortable connections to published research, should be a major concern.

Hey Kim:  Nice new suit, but no matter your attire, you still look like a James Bond villain.  Just be careful about not spilling a drink on that nuke button while lounging about your desk area with nothing to do but luxuriate in your creeping irrelevancy.
