Get Naked, Justice Kavanaugh


Instead of fretting over the alleged life and times of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's media-notorious penis (and being dead wrong, by the way, particularly when supposed "victims" remember nothing), you'd think the New York Times would concentrate on more substantive SC issues such as, oh, I don't know -- perhaps the Court's retirement age?  Just as the NYT eventually blamed some editor for deleting the all-important section of its absurd get-Kavanaugh article pointing out that the "victim" herself remembered nothing about the exposed-himself allegation, even ABC-TV News (9/16) waited until the very end of its report about the NYT article to throw in that the woman supposedly victimized knew nothing of the allegation.

Man oh man, this is modern big box journalism at its best?  One cries for journalism's truly intended and its glorious veterans, their reputations sullied via guilt by mere association with a profession barnacled by the uncouth.

My advice for Justice Kavanaugh:  Get naked, put on your running shoes and streak silently nude through the streets of Washington for a few minutes. Then return, re-attire yourself with the black robe and go on as if nothing happened, thereby getting this he said/she-said exposed-it nonsense done with once and for all.  Say nothing and give no interviews.  There's no point, because the usual barnyard media chickens will continue to cackle the same old tune, the only one they know.

Beto the magnificent:  I rarely have cause to use the biological term, d. bag, but this guy is just all of that and less whenever he spouts political talk.   The entire Kennedy family should be insulted when drooling hopefuls suggest he's a new Robert Kennedy, an absurdity if ever there was an absurdity.

"Hell yes," Beto warns, promising to actually, no-nonsense, come and take people's currently popular sporting rifles beginning with the letter A followed by a number.  Soon thereafter, he received a message from a legislator, joking, "Beto, my AR is ready for you."  Next, proving once again that those who dwell on the left generally have no tolerance for humor when it's directed toward their side, Beto not-Hispanic-in-the-least O'Rourke expressed shock, awe and outrage, proclaiming this a "death threat." Obviously a member of the "dish it out but can't take it" club, Beto reminds me of somebody bullied in fourth grade -- and deserving of it.  He'll be President the day I turn into a Delphinapterus leucas.

Drone attack in Saudi Arabia:  Way back, we mentioned with no mental exercise at all how appropriate cheap drones would be for delivering explosive devices.  Considering the volatility of Middle East factions, this should have come as a surprise to nobody -- and because it appears that missiles may have been involved, that adds to the fun.  We hope that primarily the Saudis handle this probable Iranian-fingerprinted attack because we don't fancy the idea of sending American sons and daughters to the region for engagement in out-and-out war accompanied by an almost inevitable high death toll.

Green energy makes its mark again (unfortunately, the wrong mark):  The press in some instances seem to be noticing that those giant wind turbines create an immense dismantle & disposal dilemma once they fail or outlive their service.  At least birds in flight will appreciate this.

5G and you and me:  Notice how those towering structures carrying numerous microwave antennas resemble weird upside-down chandeliers from some horror movie?  We will continue to wonder (the TV show, Full Measure just presented a great report, check the link and watch the episode online) what influence a multiplicity of MW energy transmitters might exert on cases of childhood leukemia, depression and other major health issues.  Literally a case where time will tell.

Zantac falls off the pharmaceutical merry-go-round:  Folks cautious about what goes into the pie hole, to put it bluntly, would be way less likely to find a need for this gut bacteria-altering medication.  Our view is that ingredient ranitidine as a potential cancer danger may be far less worrisome than what this sort of med's function does to one's "friendly" stomach and digestive bacteria and enzymes.

Pharmacy products we'd like to see:  If we had Oxycondoms instead of Oxycodone, maybe there would be better birth control.

NBC, wow:  A whole week on TV about climate change (1) destined to exclude or make light of weather and climate precedent showing that change is normal and (2) intended most likely to make everybody hate President Trump.  After all, elections are coming. . .

Democrat presidential hopefuls:  Is Tom Perez pulling all the tangled strings?  Has the DNC realized yet what a mistake they made in excluding the only possible candidate, woman and military veteran Tulsi Gabbard, capable of even coming remotely close to defeating President Trump?

Nanny me more:  Proactive progressive megalomaniac New York governor Andrew Cuomo has banned flavored vaping materials to deter children from vaping.  Why do these leftists, already dedicated to banning, censoring and saving people from exercising their rights, fail to care that adults, not just kids, want flavored vaping?  Vaping is not something I would ever do, but this is still America and adult choice counts.  I think.

UFOs:  I think I was in my pre-teens when the father of a family with whom my family was friends alerted me to a new restaurant run by a retired Air Force major and his wife.  He knew the major and suggested that he and I have dinner there so I could ask the man questions about UFOs.  Obviously, my mind whirled and I began lining up questions which must be asked.

Turned out the major was a great guy, his restaurant inviting, the haddock dinner superb, and the UFO inquiry -- well, not so much.  Asked about his Air Force contacts and UFO knowledge, the former military officer was very stand-offish.  I guess noncommittal is a good word here.  I know that he knew something of interest about UFOs during his Air Force years, but he simply wouldn't relate anything to the likes of me, a kid.  But I could have been 80 and I'm sure he wouldn't open up.

The point?  Retired military personnel, in large part, remain loyal to expectations placed upon them during their careers, and in many ways there's no mystery when it comes to their refusal or reluctance to disclose information they may not believe optional.  Such as. . .UFOs.

Saturday Night Live's edge falls off the cliff:  Producer Lorne Michaels just HAD to fire new cast member Shane Gillis because of racist and homophobic statements?  Hmm.  Ever notice what non-Caucasians get away with on TV and radio every day when it comes to freedom of speech?  I am so fed up with political correctness and people offended by words.  Words!  These days, there also seems to be an additional penalty involved at some level if one happens to be white.

If somebody doesn't cater to words stated and takes offense, then they should merely say something back just as intense or refute the issue, no matter how stupid or silly.  Achieve an equal footing and let it go.  That some with authority have literally become word police (particularly in colleges and universities), hanging threats of unemployment or academic grades over certain heads, is outrageous and wrong.  To face censorship by Facebook, Twitter, Google or other alleged "social" media platforms is frightening.

Keep on firing folks who say things and soon there won't be anybody left to hire, except maybe for the blindly obedient types ingrained with robotic speech so craved by the current Democrat Party.  First Amendment be damned.

Islamic Terrorists and Presidential Candidates Share This Goal

Americans have changed and, most unfortunately, lost a lot of simple options taken for granted as the last 18 years unfolded. The day after 9/11/2001 brought the country together and there momentarily seemed that we all had something precious in common.

If that sounds a bit syrupy, it is.  Truth is, as months and years passed certain known factions in the country ramped up what had previously been only moderately effective efforts to encourage national hatred from within.

So here we are.  And on 9/11 this year I can't help making a comparison between radical Islam and the current -- and, we hope, soon to be utterly forgettable -- crop of radical (oops, did I already use that word?) Democrat presidential candidates.

No brain surgery here -- both are dedicated to collapsing our capitalist system.  No sir, no ma'am, n-o-o-o-o-o-o free market allowed.  A central socialist entity, be it an actual form of government or brutal rule based upon religious dogma, controls everybody's everything, including personal wealth and conduct.  Personal intellectual property?  Forget it.  Punishment?  Terrible, even death, and one need not even be guilty.

Heck, look at the "Green New Deal."  Right out of the United Nations.  We won't belabor this unaffordable multi-trillion dollar monstrosity which can only drive a nation to socialism and worse, but will mention one little tidbit, that family electric bills would, by necessity, instantly rise by hundreds of dollars a month.  A month.  Meanwhile, the so far unworkable fantasy of totally green energy would kill billions of birds and other wildlife influenced fatally by killer wind turbines and fast-fry solar panels which look invitingly like lakes.

As the remaining bunch of Demo-lunatics are scheduled to conduct yet another insane asylum-style debate Thursday evening, we ask, where oh where are the Democrats with whom we grew up, the rational variety whom at least said things that made a modicum of sense?  Now we have race-baiters and Trump haters with all the enduring substance of bug-infested whipped cream.

It's a little late, but maybe somebody should form a search party to make sure that what few sane Democrats remain aren't lost in the woods somewhere.  The Democrat Party may want them eventually -- say, after the 2020 elections, when an almost inevitable shock wears off.

If We Can Save Just One (All the Others Won't Matter)

Our hair-trigger society continues to go bonkers over mass-shootings perpetrated by mentally deranged people, chronically blaming guns instead of the minds behind them.  Thanks particularly to the loud left, which increasingly never seems to have seen a constitutional amendment it cares to leave alone, corporations such as banks and Wal-Mart listen to a minority of all the wrong people and make snap decisions to the detriment of a majority of its customers.  Has no one yet learned that voices of boycott, banning and censorship are generally leftist pressure groups with no other goal than to suppress rights of the individual?

The real domestic terrorists of the moment happen to live under cover of the now-decimated Democrat Party, in my opinion.  Total control, absolute power over us all, this is all they can offer, for they truly are democratic socialists and that eventually spells communism, no matter how fragrant the odor exuded from each potential candidate.

Here's a legislative idea for the crazier representatives in the House:  The Odessa, Texas shooter, like others, went even more nuts than he already was once he was fired from his job.  Surely, a member of "the squad" or some other House faction can advance a bill that outlaws firing from one's employment?  Maybe call it the "Save a job, save a Wal-Mart" bill.  Obviously, potentially fired employees must be protected and kept un-fired by an act of Congress -- otherwise businesses will fold under the slightest media and other leftist pressure influences.  If we can save just one person from being fired, imagine the benefits to society.

Flippancy aside, I want more people walking around with legal guns in stores, not less.  The measure of extra protection offered to shoppers who may end up as little more than police chalk line models when one or more lunatics wield total power could be incalculable.  And if anybody thinks background checks keep bad guys from obtaining firepower, the Odessa shooter, who failed a proper gun purchase inquiry already because he was crazy, proved otherwise.

The left should also ban boats immediately:  While congressional lawmakers eagerly contemplate an anti-firing law, why not legislate a boat ban as well?  Did 34 people not just die in a horrible diving boat tragedy off the coast of California?  No guns, no bullets, no Wal-Mart, no psychotics (as far as we know) to blame, so indeed this is another matter altogether.  That many of those aboard were also celebrating birthdays, any bill walking out of Congress should explicitly ban not only boats, but birthday celebrations on any bodies of water.

Speaking of Congress, we hope some serious investigations are going on into the current and past activities of Rep. Omar, who seems to have quite a connection to people and groups involved with terrorism.  N. Pelosi, above all, needs to be immensely cognizant of the implications here.

Where guns should grow like weeds:  Hong Kong.  We hand out compassion sparingly these days, but what's left of our heart goes out to the freedom-craving residents of Hong Kong.  China is everybody's enemy and communist party puppet Xi is just one more throwback monster in a long line of Chinese monsters (hello, Mao).  The complicating factor now is the use of technology in its most evil form (hello China helper, Google).  We wish every protestor in Hong Kong had instant access to the enormous firepower required to at least slow China's bullying murderers down.  Then let Taiwan in on the action; the more the merrier.

No saddle required:  An American Airlines passenger boarded a flight with a small "comfort horse" a few days ago.  While we fully understand and appreciate the need that military veterans and the like have for service dogs, we cast a very wary eye upon other members of the flying public who demand the right to be accompanied by their own variety of "comfort" animals due to real or phony anxiety issues which would probably best be addressed by mental health personnel who don't encourage this nonsense or a "scared straight" program guaranteed to shock them out of their need to become infantile depressives aboard an aircraft.  The Wright Brothers would slap these folks in the face mercilessly.

Bedbugs at the New York Times:  Good place for 'em.  All the bugs that's fit to print.  Unfortunately, a NYT columnist became enraged when another writer called him a bedbug and he took it oh-so-personally.  Good grief, are there any thick skins anymore?  Does everybody require a comfort animal to get them through a day?  Or maybe a comfort bedbug?

Hurricanes:  Despite the cackling out there, there is precedent for large, catastrophic hurricanes, and evidence exists even long before modern records were kept.  The climate change bunch lives and dies for weather events, as if meteorological events never happened before they came along to save us while blaming Donald Trump.  As we always prefer to note:  Of course things seem worse because there are more people, more buildings and more human-populated areas, so the hit-or-miss option is constantly in jeopardy.

Sports:  Too big, too important -- especially when we're exposed to a never-ending stream of casualties involving highly paid and pampered people.  So now it's  newlywed baseball player Tyler Skaggs found dead with a mixture of Fentanyl, oxycodone and booze in his bloodstream.  Naturally, the network news shows concentrate on this self-induced tragedy instead of, oh, say -- congressional rep Omar and her alleged connections to terrorist folk.

Wal-Mart was just sued in El Paso by a couple asking why there was no armed security when the massacre took place there.  We will answer that here:  Now that Wal-Mart will no longer sell bullets or a variety of firearms because of all the bitching, this is a question with a ready response -- nobody wants guns, so why this quest for armed security in the store?

Vaping:  We don't vape and we don't smoke, kinda having this crazy idea that we're born with one set of lungs and they really need to last a lifetime.  Nevertheless, Michigan just banned flavored vaping ingredients, even the menthol variety, in order not to hook children on vaping.  Also, nobody really knows yet why a sudden spike in lung illnesses have occurred, but here's panic in progress.  Question:  What about adults who want flavored vaping?  Must everything in this society be tailored "for the children?"  The kids aren't voting and they don't pay taxes, so it seems lawmakers could concentrate on doing things for adults instead of banning everything that might influence today's crop of, frankly, wussie-fied children whose pathetic lack of parental upbringing will mess up the national thought process for years to come.  Should kids be vaping?  Of course not, but parental control has gone to Saturn or some place far away, so good luck.

Smart phone radiation:  New studies suggest smart phones may leak more radiation than previously thought.  Now what?  Now nothing.  Tomorrow is another day of discoveries too plentiful to handle.

Back to (commie) school:  We remain astounded at the grasp so many leftist college professors have on American youth now.  Parents footing the bill really need to be aware of the rat holes (and rats) swallowing college tuition used pretty much  to teach their kids how not to think and to embrace the socialist party line.  This dangerous foolishness is sure to be hyped up on campuses across the country as 2020 elections near.

Beyond the Clamor -- If Not Now, Then Never


Compassion can overwhelm the compassionate, as we've often attempted to point out.  It's true at our chaotic Southern border, and human kindness going beyond normal standards can also backfire -- as in the lax attitude the U.S. initiated back to at least the seventies where international trade is concerned.  In terms of trade with China, the compassionate trade scale has long been unbalanced in China's favor, and by now our Chinese trading partners have become as comfortable with cheating, robbing and stealing from the United States as a rodent taking up comfortable residence in the warmth of an old sewer pipe.

As the current trade "war" continues, one thing is clear:  We Americans are a far, far cry from the resolve demonstrated by our parents, grandparents and great-grandparents during World War II, an era where sacrifice was crucial to the war effort.  From "Rosie the Riveter," who exemplified women
leaving the home to take on factory work men couldn't do because they were deployed overseas, to families and entire neighborhoods collecting aluminum, steel, cooking grease and other substances essential for U.S. military operations on the war front, this was a time of immense personal sacrifice.

Fast-forward to 2019.  Have things changed?  Yes, oh yes.  We've become as soft as a cushion in a cat bed.  Children and adults can almost be too fat to walk across the street, let alone meet basic military qualifications.  Students are often too buzzed-out on electronics or drugs to learn, while teachers and professors often teach about irrelevant, stupid things.  "Sacrifice" carries a different meaning now, as our progressive friends of both parties have decided that it means sacrificing your hard-earned money to support illegal immigrants, their families and friends with few limits.  Sacrifice is allowing government agencies at all levels to increase your taxes with one hand while waving in empty promises with the other.  Sacrifice is having the guts to give up your smart phone for an entire day to declare some kind of social victory.  Sacrifice means getting out of the chair to follow a path to the refrigerator 20 times a day instead of 22.  Sacrifice is allowing the state to restrict or prohibit your use of firearms in the name of "doing something."

Sacrifice is 10,000 things -- none having the slightest bearing on the actions those who came before us initiated by necessity.

If the U.S./China trade war continues, how many among us have the resolve to willingly tighten our belts and accept or demand less in the short or long term?  We are not optimistic. 

Knowing that this is the one and only time there may be a chance to put the brakes on China's enormous appetite for all-inclusive world domination, would enough Americans care? 

With a disturbing proportion of college students and other young people apparently more than ready to accept socialism with nary a clue about its workings, we fear that "sacrifice" in their view would mean giving up all of our hard-fought precious rights to a central government for "protection."

China?  We suspect that China would love this brand of sacrifice in the United States.  Russian dictators would swoon in adoration.

Defining politicians today:  So many of these folks seem to prefer a feedbag over feedback.

Congratulations to the Obamas, ever so concerned about poverty in the black community.  To this end, they are now the proud owners of a $15,000,000 estate in Martha's vineyard.  How do you start off a presidency with college debt, move on to a house worth 8-9 million, and just a few years later you're really into the big money?  Or check out Congress, where it pays especially well to be a Democrat. No poverty concerns there.

Burning down the house -- The Amazon Rain Forest in flames:  Fires caused primarily, some suggest, by farmers clearing land. Our sympathies lie with the flora and fauna.   Clearing land for more farms to support and encourage the births of more people to remove more resources to build more places to support the births of more people. . .and solutions will eventually be the worst for every living thing on the planet, 'cept for those ingenious cockroaches.  In the rain forest, your babies aren't cute anymore.  By the way -- notice how celebs and others enjoyed a tweet-fest, sending along fire disaster photos which weren't even taken in the rain forest?  It's no wonder that nobody believes these phonies anymore.  There's a huge difference between being a true environmentalist and just a fraud adhering to the concept of never letting a good crisis go to waste (where have we heard that before. . .?).

The Second Amendment:  We quake to realize there are still political sorts out there who would have the gullible believe this Amendment is all about freedom to hunt and target-practice, when it was actually formed to deal with neither.  Should government tyranny ever catch fire in the United States, we would hope that our unique position as a democratic republic would lead to solving the unthinkable with the cooperation of both police agencies and military members with cool heads who realize it is an out-of-control political class, not the common people, which must be addressed, even with extreme measures if necessary.

Former Venezuelan dictator Chavez banned gun purchases by his nation's citizens in 2011, demonstrating that socialism demands the removal of firearms from the people and leaving them helpless, guided along by a gun-heavy military dictatorship in order to function. 

Worst part is, up until a few years ago the Second's importance was pretty basic knowledge.  Returning civics classes to schools would go a long way in helping the misinformed understand issues such as this.  An Amendment to guarantee your right to hunt?  Absurd -- and "they" know it.

Jupiter Receives Social Justice

Well, THAT should teach those jolly Jovians a lesson they're not likely to forget.  Did you see that brief video last week, showing a large object hitting Jupiter?  Known casually as our solar system's giant protective vacuum cleaner, Jupiter took quite a hit as a significant something or 'nother crashed through its seemingly boundless atmosphere.  Wouldn't care to be a Jupiterian walking down the street, nor taking a stormy flight inside the planet's Great Red Spot, lacking even the most basic of head gear.

Chances are really good that someday it will be our turn to settle international social issues once and for all eternity, not with all the brainpower assembled in the United Nations, but instead with the biggest freakin' mother of all asteroids in the known or unknown universe.  Yes, a chunk of dumb rock bringing along neither college degrees nor diplomatic experience will likely determine our exit, obliterating all human accomplishments, cute animals, world dictators and daily panic over climate change.  No negotiations, no counter-offers, no hugs or handshakes, no artificial intelligence -- just brutal, all-encompassing termination.

Oh, wait -- I forgot, we'll all be living on Mars by then. Unless Mars gets the killer asteroid treatment first.  Or after we move in, barely able to unpack a fleet of galactic moving vans before chaos rules.

But not to be negative. . .except. . .unfortunately. . .

Hong Kong needs King Kong:  Maybe just a temporary lizard-loan from Japan?  As China remains perched on Hong Kong's doorstep, characteristically ready and willing to viciously subvert the slightest spark of freedom among those under its hawk-eyed watch, the world observes.  Contrast Hong Kong's people, waving the American flag and singing OUR National Anthem in a desperate quest for a measure of freedom, to invaders on our Southern border, brandishing high the flags from their countries of origin and loudly condemning the United States because these phonies can't access our welfare and free stuff system as quickly and conveniently as they want.  There comes a point when President Trump may need to be far more outspoken about Xi's savage regime.  Meanwhile, the best words of Mandarin to learn are those telling China's government to go to hell if its manipulators can't look beyond torture, murder, mass imprisonment and world domination as a plan for the future -- and planning way ahead for every surface of the planet is exactly what they do.

Fake of the week:  Rep. Tlaib, crying crocodile tears for the TV cameras as she decides not to visit her Palestinian grandmother via the kindness of Israel.  You'd think this bad actress hiding under congressional privileges would cherish a trip to old granny before granny, oh, I don't know -- chances to set off a bomb and exits forever?  Tlaib had no reason to cry, except maybe for failing to whip up enough Jew hatred.  The fact that she and Omar were elected to Congress sure says a lot for the quality of their constituency.  Doesn't Sharia smell better all the time?

Periodic gender count: 
As a public service, we wish to take this opportunity to count the number of human genders as determined by scientific research.  Today's count:  Two genders.  Suspiciously, the number never seems to change unless fiddled with by morons whom, in most other instances, love to shout, "The science is in."  Apparently, gender and science have no relationship.  Go figure.

Woodstock's 50th anniversary:  Missed it.  Too busy helping to fix patients in the Air Force's fifth largest hospital in 1969 Texas.  I hope those freakin' hippies smoked a joint or drank a beer or two in honor of the kids sent off to die, receive wounds or corrode mentally in Vietnam.  And speaking of that era. . .

Peter Fonda dies:  Fonda was known best for the movie, Easy Rider and for being part of a famous acting family. We dare suggest, based upon a rather distressing wish Fonda angrily uttered publicly some time back that -- well, all we can say is, Barron Trump should sleep better tonight.

New York, New York:  (Sigh. . .) Once upon a time, long before the Democrats filthied the place up, education accomplished an important job.  Now they want to screw with the upper levels and high school curriculum, as they always do, by teaching a segment on "symbols of hate." Do those symbols include a donkey, by any chance?  The Democrats, having absolutely nothing to run on in 2020 except race and guns, always go for the obvious.  If these fools really wanted to influence young people and the education system positively, they would return to incorporating civics lessons emphasizing American qualities instead of hate-America-first classes.

Television:  While we find the CW's summer series, Two-Sentence Horror Story interesting, last week's episode in which the ultimate "monster" turned out to be I.C.E. agents at the door of an illegal family simply proved that the TV medium, as never before, has become a blatantly obvious vehicle for leftist political ideas.  Further. . .

We watched brief, recurring previews for two new fall series on ABC-TV, Emergence and Stumptown,  and will reluctantly predict their quick demise.  First, did ABC learn nothing with the cancellation of The Passage last season, when this murky hodgepodge of confusing episodes featuring a young girl, monsters and her older companion failed to gain a foothold?  So what do they do?  Here comes Emergence, this time again involving a young girl as the center attraction among the adult class.  The major alteration, from what we can see, is that The Passage story involved a black girl and the new series integrates a young white female into a sci-fi story.

Then there's Stumptown.  Hoo boy, what was that ABC series last season that bombed, the one about two government agents, one male and the other female?  Whiskey Cavalier?  So here comes Stumptown, another reason to show everybody that a woman can do everything a man can do, even being featured in an improbable smarmy TV series unlikely to snare a viable fan base simply because even the most basic of TV audience members know pap when they see it.  If there's a war on women, putting them into televised nonsense like Stumptown and Emergence isn't going to win the battle.  On the other hand, the CW Network's launch of Nancy Drew based upon the old and time-tested book series may do quite well among the young and generally faithful CW audience.  Anyway, we'll see -- or somebody will, because I can't be bothered tuning in to most of television's evolving foolishness and visual mind cancer (as we've suggested before, try watching the current crop with the sound muted; without audio to prop up the view, the vapid jejunity is enhanced).

By the way, we remain appalled that all forms of media concentrate so much on women and girls now that boys are almost invisible, ghosts.  Maybe it's little wonder in specific instances why some grow up, go nuts and shoot people.  The rot dripping from segments of contemporary society almost warns males to stay in the background.  Never be afraid to be a boy in a village of reverse-sexist idiots.

Universal puts the motion picture, The Hunt on hold:  We doubt it's a concern over the movie's violence as much as it reportedly shows kidnapped political conservatives overpowering progressive types and emerging as the winners.

The Jeffrey Epstein saga:  Here today, and out with the simplicity of a bed sheet with no significant thread count tomorrow.

Working against America:  Five senators on the left including Gillibrand and Blumenthal apparently can't play nicely in the sandbox because, reportedly upset by recent Supreme Court decisions not to their progressive liking, they seem keen on adding many more than nine SC seats to gain, um, a better degree of fairness.  This is the kind of dangerous nonsense one votes for when elections come around.

Not to forget NY's Senator Schumer, who wants purchase of body armor by the public authorized by and registered with federal law enforcement.  Is there no end to Democrat interference in perfectly legal commerce conducted by the innocent?

Suggested refrigerator magnet DEMOCRATS DO NOT TRUST YOU EVER

The FCC wants a three-digit suicide hotline number:  The suggested number would be 988.  It may as well be 666, because the massive suicide phenomenon won't be solved with a call-in.  The problem is society itself, and as we tire of suggesting, human numbers play a role.

Money cures sex abuse:  Like a cattle stampede, attorneys are thundering across the sex abuse flatlands, hungry for money but couching their natural instincts as concern for the victimized.  If you're alive, dead or not certain and maintained even a hangnail connection with the Catholic Church or the Boy Scouts of America, watch out -- the New Inquisition is here!  Anybody who thinks religions, organizations, Epstein and others brought something new to the world with underage sexual encounters is naive indeed, and if you've read enough history one finds a normalcy about it.  Surprised?  Don't be, because a society as ours, so enthralled with the "roots" of human civilization, will find peoples who characteristically had and continue to have some very interesting relationships and activities with and between adults and children.  Evil?  Wrong?  Roots, it's the roots that everybody loves.  And as always, somebody needs to pony up the big money, though we've never understood how it is that money somehow decontaminates bugs in the allegedly victimized psyche.  We are, however, aware that attorney fees serve quite another purpose.

Dem candidates Warren and Harris hit a new low by claiming Michael Brown was murdered by police officer Wilson.  Even Obama's DOJ determined that thug Michael Brown, high on drugs, attempted to kill officer Wilson by grabbing his firearm, and had the officer not taken extreme action Wilson would have been dead.  Even as Brown's father initiates a new lawsuit (!!!), it should be obvious that Michael Brown, who heavily outweighed officer Wilson, received exactly what he deserved.  Warren, Harris and their fellow political liars should drop out of the race over their incredible race-baiting lie, obviously intended to gain votes from the. . .let's just say ill-informed masses who believe anything and act accordingly.  Who are the racists?  Who?

A new report claims that 50 percent of the world's forest animals have disappeared.  If true, this is another surprise that shouldn't be a surprise.  We wish Trump would evidence a lot more concern for environmental matters -- the ones that can actually be perceived, not those wished for or fantasized over by the agenda-ridden.

Plastics:  Particularly alarming is a recent report of an amazed scientist whose water samples far away from the grind of civilization displayed microscopic pieces of plastic, some in color, leading him to determine that plastics now exist everywhere, in everything and in every human and animal.  Of course, we already knew about ocean contamination.  Solving this evolving problem, if anybody cares at all, is cursed by time itself.

I.C.E. "raids:"  We're disgusted by the way TV news shows use videos of crying children at the border -- and children are truly the battering rams of the illegal border invaders.

Illegal aliens coming by the endless thousands are like guns -- they kill things in their own way, such as American culture and language.  Leftists abhor gun violence, but embrace the slow-cooking explosiveness of an invading horde.

"Red flag" legislation regarding the taking of guns from certain individuals without due process:  This is so unrelated to constitutional freedoms and the Bill of Rights that minds should be boggled.  Who will save us, if not ourselves?
