Chicago, a mess.
Portland, New York are a mess.
Keep defunding cops.
This Broad is SO Nasty
In a press conference discussing the riots in Chicago this past weekend, the police chief was asked if the reason crime has gone straight through the roof because of the lack of arrests and sentencing. The police chief was about to answer when the crap mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, decided to light up the reporter who asked the question.
Listen:
She is such a terrible person. This was a very valid question. But Lightfoot couldn’t let the police chief answer. He was going to agree with the reporter and that just can’t happen. The world can’t know that it was Lightfoot’s and every other Democrat mayor before her, crappy policies that is causing this mess.
And she is just an example.
San Francisco has made it an infraction to break into a car. You get a ticket.
Philly raised the burglary total from $300 to $1000. Basically making it shoplifting if someone steals $999 worth of stuff.
Drugs use on the streets of New York, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Denver are being ignored.
Cash bail has been banned in California and New York.
Criminals are being released from jails and prisons; yes, prisons, in California and New York.
All Democratic cities are citing rioters and looters and letting them go.
With all this legalizing of illegal behavior, these idiot mayors and continue to defund and cut police forces.
Last week, the Baltimore City Council approved a $22.4 million budget cut for the police department.
The Portland City Council cut $15 million from its police budget earlier this month. $5 million of that would be put toward a new program that sends unarmed first responders to answer homelessness calls.
Philadelphia cancelled a planned $19 million increase for the police department and shifted $14 million of the police budget elsewhere — including affordable housing.
The city council in Hartford, Connecticut voted to cut or reallocate $2 million of its police budget.
In Seattle, every department budget is being trimmed by around 10%, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan told Axios’ Dan Primack on the Re:Cap podcast. “We have to reallocate parts of the budget to take things out of the police department that shouldn’t be there … We have to rethink what remains in the police department,” Durkan said.
Other cities where officials are calling for changes, according to Local Progress, include San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Oakland, Milwaukee, Denver, Durham, Winston-Salem, Chicago, New York City and D.C.
In a big story, Seattle has slashed millions out of their police budget. This will lead to the elimination of jobs, the freeze of hiring new police officers and cutting out training that officers could use.
Carmen Best, the police chief and the city’s first black female police chief had her salary cut 40%. She resigned today.
Has anyone been to Seattle lately? It’s a mess. Rioting and violence is a daily thing there.
There are some things politicians and the news media are not saying:
81% of black Americans believe that we need more police not fewer.
Police shot and killed a total of 1004 people in 2019. 235 were black, 370 were white.
Minorities make up a majority of the officers in police departments. This includes Baltimore, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle and Chicago.
Violent crime is up 170% in New York and 130% in Chicago. On average, cities screaming about defunding police has had crimp go up about 150% including cities like Los Angeles, Boston, Baltimore, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland and Washington D.C.
What have we learned here?
Most blacks are not criminals and fear them. They see police as a good thing.
Police are not systemically killing black people.
By defunding police, we are laying off minorities and ending their careers.
When cops aren’t on the street, crime goes up, especially violent crime.
This is all stupid. It is all factually incorrect.
Joe Biden, or his handlers, picked his running mate. It was a bit of a shock.
He Picked…Who?
Joe Biden has finally picked his Vice Presidential candidate and I think it might cost him the election. He decided on, for whatever reason, Senator Kamala Harris. She is a disaster and the two hate each other.
But her record is what’s going to kill her:
She had an affair with the former San Francisco Willie Brown. He set her up with a spot in the district attorneys office which started her political career. Yeah, that’s corruption.
By the way, Willie Brown was married at the time. She has some morality issues.
She has a voting record that can be used by the Republicans. Some of her record may turn off moderate voters.
Her record as a prosecutor is not going to be embraced by the Left or Bernie Bros.
She’s unlikable.
She flip-flops and appears inauthentic.
Her experience is 4 years as a Senator. Not a lot.
She says some weird things and has a creepy laugh.
Now, there are a couple of things that will help Biden:
She is a black woman. That’s what the Left wanted.
She’s pretty. I wouldn’t date her but she is.
She’s liberal, but moderate. She appears uncomfortable with some of the Leftist policies.
She has been vetted. There should be no surprises once people start digging into her past.
But Sleepy, Creepy Joe has some issues. He can’t trust her as far as he can throw her. I would hire a food taster because she does want to be President and I think she will do anything to get it. I’m pretty sure he did not make this pick.
Gosh, It’s Like the Media Knew It was Coming Today
A group of Democratic women wrote a letter to the major news outlets screaming not to be sexist and racist by criticizing her. Wow.
The letter states:
“We are reaching out now because we are about to embark on a historic moment – once again – having a woman on a Presidential Campaign ticket. While you have already done significant reporting on the process, we know you are actively preparing for coverage about the specific Democratic Vice Presidential nominee.
“Given how few women have reached this point, the sometimes disappointing coverage of the process to date and the double standards we’ve seen in the public and media expectations of women leaders over the years – and even more so for Black and Brown women leaders – we wanted to respectfully share some thoughts with you about the media’s role in the scrutiny and coverage of women and women of color candidates in general, and the vice-presidential candidate in particular.”
More of the letter from the DailyWire:
Specifically, the women warn journalists to avoid “sexism” and “racism” by avoiding commentary on Biden’s running mate’s “ambition,” her relationships with partners and staff, her likability, her looks (including her weight, style of dress, attractiveness, and “tone of voice”), whether the candidate is “likable” or electable, and any reporting “on the heritage of Black women or women of color” that “perpetuates a misunderstanding about who is legitimately American.”
This is what the Democrats do. If you didn’t like Barrack Obama, you were a racist. Well, this gal has a lot of problems and they are going to be focused on.
Another screw up.
New York is at it again.
Jesus, they’re puppets.
Oh..This Guy!
Biden…damn. Listen:
Imagine if Trump had said that. Hispanics are the most diverse and are what’s going to change the election? Blacks aren’t diverse? Whites aren’t diverse? Only Hispanics? Really?
How does he get away with this shit? This is an everyday thing. He asked a black guy, yesterday, if he got tested for cocaine…yesterday. He said you couldn’t walk in a 7-11 without hearing a person with an accent. He said that Barrack Obama was “smart and clean”. He said that poor kids were as smart as white kids.He eulogized Robert Byrd, a former KKK Grand Dragon. Jesus, what if Trump said or did any of that?
Do I think Biden is a racist? No, just really prejudiced. In fact, I think his comments were probably just not well articulated. I think had another point. But it shows a few things:
The mainstream media does not care about racism or prejudice. It’s just a narrative.
That Democrats don’t care race or prejudice. They only care about the narrative and using it for power.
Biden is getting worse. His cognitive abilities appear done. He can’t articulate a thing.
I understand why Biden’s handlers are allowing him to do interviews. Trump is on television every day, showing that he knows what is going on with the virus. Fox News
More Attacks on the Second Amendment
New York Attorney General Letitia James announced Thursday that the state is suing the National Rifle Association (NRA) and several of its high-profile leaders, and looking to “dissolve” the organization over alleged financial irregularities.
James said on Twitter;
“I filed a lawsuit to dissolve the National Rifle Association for years of self-dealing and illegal conduct. The @NRA is fraught with fraud and abuse. No organization is above the law.”
“We are seeking to dissolve the NRA for years of self-dealing and illegal conduct that violate New York’s charities laws and undermine its own mission. The NRA diverted millions of dollars away from its charitable mission for personal use by senior leadership. Our lawsuit charges the NRA as a whole and four senior leaders, including Wayne LaPierre, with failing to manage the NRA’s funds and failing to follow numerous state and federal laws. These actions contributed to the loss of more than $64 million in just three years for the NRA.”
She accuses the executives of:
Using NRA funds for private travel, vacations and restaurants.
Awarding companies contracts based on family members.
The NRA responded:
“The NRA has full confidence in its accounting practices and commitment to good governance. The association’s financials are audited and its tax filings are verified by one of the most reputable firms in the world. Internally, the association has an appropriate conflict of interest policy, which provides that all potential conflicts are reviewed and scrutinized by the audit committee.”
This is all probably true. Fact is, the NRA has to be audits because of its non-profit status and any weird accounting would probably be caught. Also, if there is some illegal activity, why not fire the people who are doing the funny business? Why does this gal find the need to dissolve the entire organization (which I don’t think she can legally do). The reasoning is simple: they want to get rid of the NRA. The Left sees them as an evil organization and in their way of the ultimate goal: getting rid of the second amendment.
James is also a piece of work (well, piece of shit). She’s the gal who said she was going to investigate Trump to find a crime. By the way, that is illegal. You don’t investigate a person to find a crime, you investigate a crime that a person possibly committed. All this shows is that she is a political animal and will target her enemies or the enemies of the Left.
By the way, I think she has more important things to worry about. The murder rate in New York is up about 170%. I hardly think that’s the NRA’s fault. Sounds to me that is the fault of that shitty, gopher killing mayor, De Blasio and an ineffective New York justice department led by James herself.
The NRA didn’t just roll their eyes and sit on their hands. They filed a law suit against against the city for defamation and violating their rights to free speech. Good for them and they probably have a better case.
In their complaint, the NRA said:
“Despite hopes that playing by the rules would procure a just outcome, the NRA has not been treated fairly by James’s office. The New York Democratic Party political machine seeks to harass, defund, and dismantle the NRA because of what it believes and what it says.”
“James boasted that she would strike foul blows against the NRA and pound the NRA into submission. She vowed that she would use the NYAG’s investigative and enforcement powers for the precise purpose of stanching political speech (‘deadly propaganda). She has begun to deliver on her campaign promises to retaliate against the NRA for constitutionally protected speech on issues that James opposes. As NYAG, James has regrettably succumbed to ‘individual passions, and individual malevolence.’”
President Trump stated:
“I think the NRA should move to Texas and lead a very good and beautiful life. And I’ve told them that for a long time. I think they should move to Texas – Texas would be a great state or to another state of their choosing – but I would say that Texas would be a great place and an appropriate place for the NRA.”
He’s probably right but I can understand why the NRA would want to stay in New York. It is closer to Washington DC, a lot of their members live on the east coast, and what better place to attempt to influence than a city with the most restrictive gun control laws in the country.
In the long run, this law suit is not going to go anywhere. There is a lot of conflict within the NRA’s hierarchy and there probably was some questionable dealings like in all companies. Someone will probably lose his job. But the aggressiveness of James may get the best of her. She does have to show some cause. You can just go investigate someone hoping to find a crime. So, the NRA is in a strong standing with the counter suit.
I love the culture. Especially since the Left took over the culture. The things they do is so stupid it is funny. There are two web sites I love to read about culture. Vox.com and Slate.com. Slate is especially insane. They have a advice column that is just weird. It’s a great site. You should visit. Well, they have an article that is patently insane. It is titled It’s Time for the Muppets to Give a Different Couple the Spotlight. It actually analyzes the relationship between Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy.
No kidding.
It said:
They are a terrible couple and Disney should not be beating their drum.
They are anatomically incompatible. Unlike gay men, women and transsexuals who Slate constantly touts.
Kermit is a nudist whereas Miss Piggy dresses extravagantly.
Miss Piggy is a domestic abuser.
They’re emotionally incompatible. One is a closed-off, neurotic commitment-phobe, the other a clingy, psychopathic narcissist.
“According to three relationship counselors interviewed earlier this year by Mel magazine, the pairing has long been in crisis. “If there’s that level of conflict, they need professional help,” said clinical psychologist Farrah Hauke. “They’d need to work with a couples counselor and do their individual work to identify their role in the conflict, as well as their partner’s role in the conflict.” This is, of course, ludicrous, as Miss Piggy would simply karate-chop the therapist.”
“Recently, it seemed the minders of the Muppets might realize that the central romance of the franchise no longer had currency. On the short-lived ABC series The Muppets, Kermit got a new girlfriend, also a pig, named Denise—the subject of the memorable Jezebel headline “I’m Sorry, But Who the Fuck Does This Homewrecking Pig Think She Is?” (Byline: “Definitely Not Miss Piggy.”) But by series’ end, the characters once again fell into familiar patterns, as the finale focused entirely on the will-they-or-won’t-they question—including other Muppets writing PRO and CON lists on a whiteboard as Kermit tried to decide. The episode ended on a cliffhanger of sorts, with Kermit professing his love for Piggy in a last-ditch romantic gesture.”
The article ends with:
“Call it what you will: Friggy, Permit, Hogwarts. Where it was once entertaining to watch a lovesick pig beat the crap out of a diffident frog, now it’s simply exhausting. It is well past time to retire this ship.”
Now, I hope this is an article written to be funny. After reading a bunch of Slate’s other articles, I can’t be sure. But there are a few things we should be aware of before we criticize the turbulent relationship of Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog:
This show was not meant to be a children’s show. It was meant for adults. There is a ton of adult humor and sexual innuendo that proves that.
Miss Piggy was not a physical abuser. It was cartoon like violence. Just like the Coyote would be blown up by the Acme explosives he used to try to stop the roadrunner.
Kermit was not a nudist. He was a frog. Frogs don’t wear clothes.
Kermit and Piggy did have an incompatible relationship. But not because Kermit is a frog and Piggy is a pig but because they are fucking puppets!
It is an adult comedy show! They’re puppets! It’s meant to be funny, not a serious look at relationships! And they’re puppets! Kermit is not a neurotic, commitment-phobe, nudist! Miss Piggy is not a clingy, narcissistic, domestic abuser. Kermit is a frog. Miss Piggy is…wait for it…a pig. They don’t need a psychologist to analyze their relationship. Do you know why? Because they are fucking puppets! Miss Piggy’s voice isn’t even done by a woman. It’s a man. Fuck!
Video shows more.
Prepare for the second wave.
Trump…damn! Shut up! Ugh!
This Ain’t Good
Body cam footage was leaked by the Daily Mail this week. And it shows a really different story than the one we have been told for the last couple of months. Here is a short clip:
They charge officer Derrick Chauvin with Second Degree Murder. I thought that was kind of an overreach then. Looking at this video, I definitely think it is an overreach now. This is what we learned from the video:
Floyd was not cooperative.
Floyd, like his autopsy said, looked high.
The police officers were not rough with him and only pulled their guns when Floyd would not show his hands.
There were other people in the car. Nothing happened to them. Sounds familiar (hint: Rodney King).
He was yelling that he was going to die and could not breath before he was put on the ground.
The police tried to calm him before sticking him in the police car.
It was actually a really pathetic display by Floyd. Now, none of this clears Chauvin. What he did was a bad thing. It was definitely negligent. But is it Second Degree Murder level negligent? You know, Chauvin went out and said he was going to kill this guy?
I do not think so. Put that with the fact that he was on drugs, had a heart condition, had a criminal record including a home invasion and the medical examiner said he died of a heart attack (this was contradicted by a private M.E.).
This is bad folks and the media knows it. They have decided to ignore the whole thing or, as CNN did, just sugar coat it.
Again, there is no but excuse for kneeling on a man’s neck for nine minutes but can anyone prove intent which is what is required for second degree murder? I don’t think so. Chauvin should go to jail but I think there is going to be a chance that he gets off completely because that idiot attorney general, Keith Ellison, way over charged.
Prepare for the riots to come up again (if they actually ever stop). Because this guy is not going to get the sentence we all hope he gets.
Here is where my conspiracy urge begins to bubble up. I am trying to suppress it but it is not working. It is also very cynical of me. I think Ellison and the Dems in Minneapolis over charged on purpose.
If they charged correctly, the Left would have flipped.
If Chauvin gets off, more riots and Eliison could blame the racist system. And Trump.
Joe Biden continues to act like a dead person. His latest interview turned out to be a disaster again. Here he is asked about if he ever took the cognitive test. His response was precious:
Couple of things here. First, Biden already said he had taken the cognitive test. Now he says he does not need one? He cannot even get through the sentence without fumbling through the sentence.
Next, what is with the cocaine crack? To a black reporter? If Trump did this, what would happen?
Three debates have been scheduled and they will start in September. Here’s what’s fucked up: the first debate will be after voting starts. Mail-in voting starts on August 29th. Do not get me started on the fact that voting starts two and a half months before the election.
Biden, well his team, has really been controlling all aspects of the election season. He does not go out and campaign. He picks and chooses who interviews him. All the questions he gets are known before hand. He is setting when the debates are going to be and how many. He is never asked about his crazy policies.
He is lucky that Trump’s campaign team seems to be incompetent and not doing anything to push back. Biden is also lucky that President Trump has Twitter and has no fear talking to reporters. He should be afraid. Very afraid.
Last week, Trump Tweeted that it might be necessary to postpone the election. Ugh! That is a tad bit unconstitutional. Only Congress can change the date of the election.
Then, he had an interview with Jonathan Snow from Axios on HBO. Why would he do this? Axios is a Left wing media organization being produced on HBO, a Left wing platform. He sounded terrible.
Listen to this first clip:
This was terrible. If you are going to reference someone or a publication, you better know the name of the person or the book. Do not ever reference something or someone without being ready to issue a name. It is a crappy way to debate. That is why I do not listen to the news media. Whenever I hear a story from an “anonymous resource” I think it is probably bullshit. He just did what the news media does all the time. He loses all credibility.
Next, know your stats. The problem with statistics, you can prove anything. Use the stats that help your case. Or he could have simply said with more cases there will be more death. Do not act surprised by it and actually look sad about it. “Yep, there is more death and it is sad. We are working hard to curve this.” That is all that needs to be said. Done.
Finally, he needs to stop being so casual about things. When asked about the rise in the number of deaths, “it is what it is” is the correct, reasonable belief, but you cannot say that to a media that is looking to roast you. You know Biden is going to use this.
Then there was this:
This is a real non-story that Trump should have killed immediately. I never talked about this because it was a non-story. Even the Orange Man Bad media held it for about three days and never talked about it again.
Intelligence received information about Russians paying Afghans and Iraqis to kill American soldiers.
The Intelligence community could confirm nothing and never told the administration.
Trump knew nothing about it.
This is what I would have said: “The intelligence community did not trust the information so they never reported it to me. There was nothing to talk about.” PERIOD. Next question.
But he argues and his answer is there but muddled. Any push back by Snow could have been rebutted with, “You want me to accuse another country of a moral crime based on rumor?” Done. Mic drop. Next question.
Trump vomits words. Either verbally or on Twitter. His point gets lost because he is vomiting words. He needs to stop doing this.This is why people do not like him and he could lose the election.
Then, the worst is this:
John Lewis fought for civil rights for blacks and got a broken skull for it. He believed in the American Dream and believed it should be achieved through peace and not violence unlike the Black Panthers or the Nation of Islam. He was the right-hand man of Martin Luther King. After Jim Crow, he became a state representative in the House for over twenty years. Yeah, he did not like Trump.
How about this for an answer: “He was an impressive man with an impressive history.” Done.
The other thing that is just a turn off is the arrogance and self-promotion. Who cares that Lewis did not go to your inauguration. Who cares? Why bring it up? He is dead! Throw him a bone!
It got worse. He stated that he has done more for blacks than every President except Abraham Lincoln. When Snow pointed out that LBJ signed the Civil Rights bill, Trump did not have an answer. Then Snow kept pushing for Trump to say that the Civil Rights bill was important, which Trump did not do.
Here is what I would have done.
Lewis, good man.
I would never say I did more for blacks than any other President except for Lincoln.
If I suffered from a stroke and did say that I did more for blacks except for President Lincoln, I would point out that LBJ was an ardent racist and did not want to sign the Civil Rights bill but MLK blackmailed him into signing it.
This is so stupid. This is the problem when one has a bunch of yes-men around him. I know that is sexist. Is it yes-person. Fuck it. Do not care. Someone needs to tell Trump to “shut the fuck up, sir” so he can win the election. He is running against a corpse. This next election should be a landslide. Trump is making it close.

Biden’s getting worse.
Barr lights up the Dems again.
Not fat but curvy.
Just for Fun
There’s your next President. He doesn’t even know where he is.
What a Waste of Time
There is a big push by the Democrats to try to impeach Attorney General William Barr. They are doing this because….um…they don’t know. Democrats always play darts. They have five darts and a board and each dart is a reason. The reason that gets closest to the bullseye, which is an analogy for the support of the public, they go for that.
To continue the analogy, they were throwing some real darts and they were flying all over the place. But I am pretty sure, not on, came close to the dart board.
John Lewis
The first thing the Dems did was invoke Rep. John Lewis. I have no problem with that. John Lewis was a great man, suffered through the Civil Rights movement, became a member of Congress and was liked by everybody, Democrat or Republican. But this was a pandering moment. This was bringing emotion into something that should have only been about reason. The Dems want to impeach Barr. This should be an exercise in reason. Impeachment is serious. But the Dems are not serious.
Barr, in his opening statement, mentioned John Lewis in an honorable way. Rep. Cedric Richmond did not appreciate that.
Richmond said:
“You started your testimony with eloquent words about the life and legacy of John Lewis fighting systematic racism. When you all came here and brought your top staff, you brought no Black people. That, sir, is systematic racism. That is exactly what John Lewis spent his life fighting. And so I would just suggest that actions speak louder than words and you really should keep the name of the honorable John Lewis out of the Justice Department’s mouth.”
What bullshit. You know who would have said that is bullshit? John Lewis. Though John Lewis was quite liberal, his best friend was a conservative on his committee and he would defend him, even from people in his own party.
This is something the Dems always try to do. They try to say that Republicans do not deserve to show respect for good people because Republicans are no good. They said that Mitch McConnell had no business to speak at Lewis’ funeral ceremony.
Just is just another way to vilify Republicans.
Law and Order? No!
The big argument is about the Justice Department’s use of federal marshals in cities during the riots. Dems claim that this is a violation of the Constitution. That seems kind of rich because they do not seem to care much for the Constitution.
Republicans say that what Trump and the DOJ are doing is not only legal, but part of their jobs. Barr made very clear what he thought:
This is just a dumb argument. Of course the President can take control of these cities. The local governments are doing nothing.
Demonizing the Police
Of course, the police are bad. Barr had an answer to those questions:
“Unfortunately, some have chosen to respond to George Floyd’s death in a far less productive way – by demonizing the police, promoting slogans like ACAB (All Cops Are Bastards), and making grossly irresponsible proposals to defund the police. The demonization of police is not only unfair and inconsistent with the principle that all people should be treated as individuals, but gravely injurious to our inner city communities. There is no harder job in America today than being a police officer.”
He also did something really bad. He said there is no systemic racism. When one congresswoman started lecturing him about systemic racism, Barr said there wasn’t any. When she continued, he asked the question we should all ask: “What institutions?” Of course, she did not answer and just kept rambling.
The Bad Orange Man!
Of course, everything that Barr did was to bend the knee to Trump.
Laws he enforced and other policies were to appease and be a photo op for Trump.
Roger Stone was because of Trump.
General Michael Flynn was because of Trump.
The “stormtroopers” were in preparation for Trump’s loss in November.
What would he do if Trump would not leave the White House
Barr Kicking Ass
William Barr destroyed these people. Here’s the thing: he is a lawyer and a good one. The Congresspeople are alwyers and suck at being lawyers so they became politicians.
This first cut is delicious. Rep Jamie Raskin (D, MD) who is a really creepy looking guy asked Barr about the response to the federal action on the incident at the St. John Episcopal Church.
That church has been around for a couple of hundred years and has been attended by every President in history and those BLM and Antifa assholes tried to burn it down. Raskin never mentioned that in his question.
I learned a new term. “I am reclaiming my time.” It is an official way of saying “Shut the fuck up.” If the Dems cannot deal with Barr’s questions, just lecture. Barr pointed this out a couple of times. Listen:
This was the entire hearing. Just a waste of Barr’s time and a platform for Dems to pontificate. It was terrible for the Dems. I am sure this was not a good look for them.
William Barr busted some ass. There is a great montage by the Daily Caller from Twitter that summed everything up, I probably could have saved twenty minutes of discussion by just playing this but…whatever.
This is a montage where William Barr plays a Scottish bagpipe at some police function. Mixed in are some of the awesome moments of his testimony. Listen:
Yep, that’s how it went. Barr dominated this hearing. He does not need this job. I hope he sticks with it.

Bet They Never Thought That Would Happen
More than 100 law enforcement agencies have reportedly pulled out of security agreements to send personnel to help with security at the Democratic National Convention next month in part because they are concerned about recent efforts to limit law enforcement’s use of tear gas and pepper spray in responding to violent riots.
Franklin, Wisconsin Police Chief Rick Oliva said:
“It is apparent there is a lack of commitment to provide the Milwaukee Police Department with the resources it needs to ensure the safety of peaceful protesters, attendees, citizens and police personnel. I can not send personnel if they are not properly equipped or will not be allowed to engage in appropriate actions which would ensure their safety.”
Waukesha Police Chief Daniel Thompson said:
“I understand that use of chemical irritants and pepper spray is serious and those are to be used only when legally justified. But when you take that out of the continuum that doesn’t leave the officers much other than getting harmed or using deadly force and that’s not good for any officer or the public.”
Sports Illustrated has decided to go woke again and have hired the “curviest” model ever for their swimsuit issue this year. Why is this woke? Because round has a curve. She is pretty fat.
Hunter McGrady, who is 5’11” and weighs about 220 pounds will be featured in Sports Illustrated.
McGrady said of the opportunity:
“I have been so excited for this shoot to be released,” she said. “This trip was life changing and was so special to experience with the most special team. Sports Illustrated has given me so much and created so many incredible opportunities for me and I will forever be grateful.”
That’s great. She should be happy. when asked about modeling while being her size, she said:
“I think a lot of people think that [plus-sized models] are able to eat whatever they want,” she explained. “They don’t work out. They just sit at home and lounge around. That is absolutely not the case. I work out with my trainer and I train daily. People for so long have equated a larger size to be unhealthy. The truth of the matter is that I’m more healthy now than I’ve ever been in my life. It’s a stigma that needs to change.”
Good for her. She is not really an issue here. Here are my issues with normalizing “curvy” women:
Diabetes
Heart disease
Stroke
High LDL cholesterol
High blood pressure (hypertesion)
Body pain (knees, hips, back)
Sleep apnea and breathing problems
Mental illness such as clinical depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders
Osteoarthritis
Many forms of cancer
Now, McGrady sounds like she is active and just heavy because that is her body type. That is fine. And she is a good looking woman. But a lot of these heavy people,who scream about being proud to be fat, Do not take care of themselves.
Riots are working.
The media gets lit up.
AOC is dumb.
Big Win!
Covington Catholic High School student Nick Sandmann announced on Friday that his legal team has settled its $250 million defamation lawsuit with The Washington Post.
The lawsuit centered around false coverage of an interaction that Sandmann had with Omaha tribe elder Nathan Phillips that portrayed Sandmann as an aggressor.
Acting Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security Ken Cuccinelli said Friday that federal law enforcement agents may be able to bring libel claims against Democrats who have called them “Nazis” or “stormtroopers.”
Security Ken Cuccinelli said on Laura Ingram:
“When you see such libelous, slanderous comments from people who know better — Let’s not kid ourselves, the speaker of the House knows that she is using Nazi allusions to refer to correct, professional law enforcement officers. If I was a CBP agent or ICE agent, or FBI agent — and if I was an FPS agent — I might sue for libel.”
Pelosi tweeted on July 17:
“Unidentified stormtroopers. Unmarked cars. Kidnapping protesters and causing severe injuries in response to graffiti. These are not the actions of a democratic republic. @DHSgov’s actions in Portland undermine its mission. Trump & his stormtroopers must be stopped.
“First Amendment speech should never be met with one-sided violence from federal agents acting as Trump’s secret police, especially when unidentified. This is disgraceful behavior we would expect from a banana republic — not the government of the United States.”
Slander is slander. People in high places should be able to sue, especially if people are being targeted.
Seattle and Portland are falling apart. This week saw sixty days of riots. Now I am not saying peaceful protest but actual rioting. And the garbage mayors and governors are not doing anything about it. Trump, trying to quell the violence, especially against federal buildings, has sent a bunch of federal agents (DHS and Border Patrol) to arrest the , mostly Antifa, rioters. And they have been met with less than peaceful protest.
Businesses are still being burned.
Three federal agents are being checked for sight loss because of heavy-duty lasers (there is video).
Rioters have police and agents held hostage in a federal courthouse in Portland and the Antifa rioters are trying to break in.
Rioters are using rocks, bottles of water, canned goods, lasers, commercial grade fireworks and mortars…yes, mortars…against police and federal agents.
In Seattle, a bunch of jerk offs were actually dropping cinder blocks off the roofs of businesses.
Peaceful, huh?
The local governments, all Democrats, are doing nothing.
Lori Lightfoot, mayor of Chicago, keeps saying she wants Trump’s “troops” out but has secretly mad a deal to have them come in to help with the crime epidemic (Chicago averages 50 shootings a weekend).
Jenny Durkin of Seattle also rejects Trump’s agents. The police chief said that citizens should not call police if there is a crime. Police are out.
Seattle tried to ban pepper spray and impact balls. What are the police suppose to use? Foul language? A court overruled that.
Ted Wheeler of Portland has also rejected trump’s agents.
Federal agents were required to wear identification. The DoJ said they did not have to because of doxxing. A court overruled that.
Portland sued to get rid of federal agents. They lost in court…again. You know why? Because it is not illegal what they are doing.
Trump does not care. He sent them to Seattle and Portland anyway because of the attack on federal buildings.
The Democrats do not care or just want this to be forgotten. The media is worse.
Jerry Nadlar summed it up when he was questioned about the violence in Portland by Austen Fleccas of the YouTube channel, Fleccas Talks.
This whole thing has been blamed on Trump. If he does something, it is his fault. If he does not do something, it is his fault.
This is mob politics. The Left wants their way and they will burn and destroy everything until they get it. This is where a civil war will start. Because, eventually, we are going to get tired of this. And, by we, I mean normal people, not just Conservatives, and we are going to fight back.
Have you ever gotten into a fight with a co-worker and, when there was not going to be a resolution, just turn and said, under your breath, called that person a bad name? Heck, I have done that eight times today and twice while saying this.
Well, that is what happened between Rep. Ted Yoho and AoC.
Tell you what, let us listen to to AOC’s version of the story. I will not play Ted Yoho’s version of the story because I already believe him and AOC’s side makes her look worse. Let us listen:
Sports used to be fun
Too many rich jocks bitching.
A cold war rising.
An almost depressing haiku. But at least I will have the UFC.
At Least I Can Watch the UFC
Football
Football has decided to go woke.
When the season starts on September 10th, rumors are swirling that the NFL players are going to be able to don messages of social justice and police brutality on their helmets.
Front Office Sports reported:
“The NFL’s 1,700-plus players will likely be invited to wear helmet decals bearing the names or initials of police violence victims and systemic racism, sources told Front Office Sports. The league office is working with the NFL Players Association to compile a list of names in time for the start of the regular seasons, which is currently scheduled to begin on September 10, said sources. The players will provide the names.”
For years, the NFL has been kind of touchy about letting teams change the uniforms. Outside of small decals that represent the deaths of certain people, the uniforms have remained unchanged. In 2016, the Dallas Cowboys wanted to wear special uniforms in honor of the five police officers who were murdered in Dallas during a mass shooting (coincidentally, by a woke BLM terrorist) during training camp. The NFL refused to let them.
Rumor has it that teams can choose one insignia that all wear for each player or each player can wear one of their choosing (there could be as many as fifteen different designs).
When Colin Kapernick decided to start kneeling for the National Anthem, I was turned off by all the political bullshit. I actually stopped watching. I wasn’t protesting or boycotting or anything like that. I was just pissed off. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one. The attendance and viewership for the NFL dropped by 20%.
Several players and coaches for the San Francisco Giants (probably shouldn’t be much of a surprise) decided to kneel during the National Anthem.
According to MLB Reports:
“Several Giants, including manager Gabe Kapler, first-base coach Antoan Richardson, hitting coach Justin Viele and outfielders Jaylin Davis, Mike Yastrzemski, and Austin Slater, took a knee during the national anthem before Monday’s exhibition game in Oakland. Shortstop Brandon Crawford stood between Davis and Richardson and put his hand on their shoulders in a show of support.”
Gabe Kapler, who is a vocal supporter of Black Lives Matter, stated:
“I did that because I wanted them to know I wasn’t pleased with the way our country has handled police brutality. I told them I wanted to amplify their voices, and I wanted to amplify the voices of the Black community and marginalized communities as well.”
This brought a wave of protests from fans on Twitter:
And, of course, President Trump weighed in:
The MLB never responded. Hopefully, this will be a wake up call for the MLB. I really like baseball and will miss it if the MLB doesn’t have the courage to force its players, who are paid very well, to keep politics out of entertainment.
I haven’t watched basketball since Shaq and Kobe won their five championships. You know why? Because the game has been changed to the point a foul is called every time someone coughs, the players whiny and showboats and the Lakers have sucked for so long.
Well, now I have another reason not to watch.
Disney will write Black Lives Matter on the playing surface in their two arenas. The NBA will be playing in those arenas during the Wuhan flu epidemic. Notice I didn’t call it COVID-19. There’s a reason I wanted to point out the virus is from China. Just wait.
The NBA has decided to let the players replace the names on the back of their jerseys with social justice phrases.

Yeah, this is going to work great for people who do not want politics in sports. You will not know the name of the player you are watching but you will know that he cannot breathe.
You know what one phrase the NBA will not allow on the back of their jerseys? Free Hong Kong. That is because the NBA gets a lot of their money from China. Same with Nike and Apple. That is why I will never go to an NBA game, wear Nikes or own an iPhone. China is probably one of the most evil civilizations in human history. Well their evil is coming to light.
The DOJ has charged Chinese hackers of trying to steal COVID-19 vaccine information. This shows:
China cannot create anything.
China probably does not have the virus under control.
They cannot be trusted.
The United States not trusting China came to a head when Secretary Pompeo ordered the closure of the Chinese consulate in Houston. He said that China had been running an intelligence gathering ring from the consulate and it had nothing to do with diplomacy. They were given 72 hours to clear the building and leave the country. The Chinese responded by starting to burn all their paperwork, pretty much showing that they had some things to hide. The fires were so large, the Houston fire department was closed.
The State Department stated:
“The United States will not tolerate the PRC’s (People Republic of China) violations of our sovereignty and intimidation of our people, just as we have not tolerated the PRC’s unfair trade practices, theft of American jobs, and other egregious behavior. We have directed the closure of PRC Consulate General Houston, in order to protect American intellectual property and American’s [sic] private information.”
Senator Marco Rubio said:
“China’s Houston consulate is a massive spy center, forcing it to close is long overdue. China’s consulate in Houston is not a diplomatic facility. It is the central node of the Communist Party’s vast network of spies & influence operations in the United States. Now that building must close & the spies have 72 hours to leave or face arrest. This needed to happen.”
China has promised that there would be consequences for this.
China has also not been great with human rights:
Thousands of Hong Kongers are being arrested and sent to China for trial and punishment (actually, re-education).
China appears to be preparing for an invasion against the democracy of Taiwan. Why not?
Uighurs, Chinese Muslims, are being arrested, having their heads shaved and being placed in cattle cars to be sent to re-education camps. (play video)
Does this sound familiar? Nazi Germany did this. The Soviet Union did this. Cuba does this. North Korea does this. Venezuela does this.
Ain’t socialism grand. No wonder the NBA supports China but will piss on the United States any chance they get.
Conclusion
The United States and China are entering a cold war. When we start closing consulates, it is pretty much a done deal. I don’t think this is a bad idea. China depends on the United States for survival and have gotten too cocky to remember that. Trump has already threatened to cut off all trade with China, which will make them more aggressive militarily and kill their economy.
Now, when I saw busy militarily, I don’t mean they will fight us. We are too far away and way ahead of them technologically. Heck, half their military technology is ours. But countries like Hong Kong, Taiwan, India and South Korea do have to worry. Why?
Because socialism does not allow for innovation or production because there is not incentive system. What I make in China belongs to the government. I get nothing. So why would I bother creating anything. How do socialist countries get what they need? They take it from some other country or force their people, under threat, to create (which never works, Chernobyl is proof of that). Can Xi Jinping has become the most powerful Chinese leader since Mao. They need to be broken like the United States broke the Soviet Union.
Does that mean China is not dangerous? Not at all. The COVID-19 virus, which may or may not have been purposely released, shows the power of a biological weapon. The Chinese government, who do not care about their people, did profit from this for the short term. They were selling PPE and crappy tests (85% accurate). They, quietly because it was under-covered, took over Hong Kong, imprisoned Uighurs and threatening Taiwan. This is why they need to be isolated.
But China can be toppled and I think a lot faster than the Soviet Union. A lot of people have said so. Someone just has to have the balls to do it.
Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick
We need to stop perversion.
Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick.
Crime
What do Minneapolis, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Philadelphia, Dallas and New York City all have in common? There are actually three things: They are all run by Democrats, they have all had their crime rates raised by 100% and they all have proposals to defund and get rid of the police.
This is a real problem for the Left. Shootings are up 80% including the killings of children. Robberies are up 120%. And there is not a cop around to deal with it. Heck, New York’s murder rate is above 240%! And they are still letting violent criminals, even ones that assault cops, get out with no bail hours after being arrested. Why not commit crimes? New York City has gotten rid of their plain clothes police force and cut $1.5 billion from the police force. Los Angeles cut $150 million from their police force. Minneapolis has voted to completely defund the police. Philly has a 5-year plan to eliminate the police.
Why is crime going up? I don’t know. Maybe it has something to do with do-nothing Leftist leaders supporting rioters and thugs over the police and innocent citizens. Maybe having no-cash bail and releasing criminals has something to do with it. How about cutting funds from your police force and disbanding the undercover police force that is responsible for capturing criminals while they are committing crimes?
Well, the Left has some ideas. Listen to AoC, the brain trust of the Left:
This idiot is blaming:
Poverty
Fear of homelessness.
Starvation.
The government not being fast enough to give them free money
Wow, ok.
But there is more! Bill DeBlasio blames COVID-19. Sheila Jackson Lee blames the lack of gun control. Good luck with that one. A group of the Left blames the police…get this one…for not doing anything. Oh, yeah, and racism.
Here’s the problem with the Left blaming everything and everyone besides their shitty policies. And when one tries to blame race and it turns out that most murders are within the same race, they need to shotgun a bunch of excuses and hope something sticks.
This is why I like Trump. He says, “this is fucked up,” then “this is how we are going to unfuck it,” and he unfucks it.
I do not know when people are going to learn. The Left only cares about talking points and narratives. And it is only to trick the people so that they give them power. And, when they have power, that real concern about the people will disappear. Hell you see it now. Look at Los Angeles.
Ten or fifteen years ago, there was this push by the LGB community to legalize marriage between gay people. In California, there was a law that we got to vote on that would define marriage between a man and a woman. Now, I was younger and dumber and had some misdirected issues with gays getting married. So, of course, I voted for the proposition (it was Prop 8).
Of course, I live in California where voting for state and local laws is really irrelevant (I don’t even bother voting in California anymore). Prop 8 passed by a huge margin, the governor said it was unconstitutional, the 9th circuit court of appeals overrules the vote and the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage a few years later. So much for voting.
But, over the years, I wondered what my reasons were for being against gay marriage. I came of with the following reasons:
I don’t like gays.
It’s against my Catholic faith.
Homosexuality is not natural and should not be supported by the government
That was it. Upon careful introspection, these three reasons were not only not true when compared to me belief system, but one went against my belief system.
I never disliked gays. In fact, during a debate, I was hurt when my friend told me she would not invite me to her wedding with her partner.
My religion really was not an issue. I could not quote anything from the Bible and gays would not be married in the church, mosques and temples of the major religions, which made them only a civil union.
And, the hypocritical belief that I am embarrassed by, the government should not be telling anyone what they can and cannot do. It is wrong.
Normal and natural are two totally different things. Homosexual men will never have children unless a woman is involved. That is because homosexual men cannot have babies because it is unnatural. Period. Normal is saying that one can be attracted to his own sex and it is what it is. Period. A civil union between two is not going to change what is natural.
But, my third point violates my true belief: the government should not tell people what the can and cannot do. I was actually being a dick to my own beliefs by saying no to the gay person to marry who he wanted to marry. Needless to say, being a hypocrite did not sit well with me.
I thought about it and realized it was not that I was against gay marriage. It was that I was against the militancy of the LGBT. And I still am and they are getting worse. But I will not condemn those who like members of their same sex. I will support them because I believe the spirit of the Constitution assumes that individual freedom. I know that is not exactly a textualist view but a Libertarian view.
Instead, I will focus on on the LGBTQ+ militancy and the topics that really bother me.
War on Religion
A few years ago, when the Supreme Court ruled that banning gay marriage was unconstitutional, I believe is was Justice Scalia that asked the pro-gay marriage lawyer if this was going to lead to forcing religions to marry gay couples. He responded that he did not know. In other words, yes. That is exactly what they are going to do and have been doing.
By the way, attacking religion is a strategy of the Left, not necessarily an LGBT thing. The Left hates religion.
The militancy I hate the most is the attack on regular people who own businesses and just want to live by their lives based on their values and faith. This attack, and not the only one, game against the baker Jack Phillips in Colorado. He runs wedding cake business. When he was approached by a gay couple to bake a cake, he refused but said they could buy one of his pre-made cakes. This poor bastard fought the court system, almost losing his business, for three years. He finally won in the Supreme Court.
This is the shit I hate. This is completely unnecessary and the media lied about it. The media never mentioned that Phillips would sell them a cake just not customize a cake. They made him out into a 100% bigot.
They did the same to VP Mike Pence especially that little rat Pete Buttigieg. Pence and his family is a fundamental Christian. He does not believe in gay marriage but never made a thing of it (that I have ever heard of). But the attacks on him by the LGBT and Buttigieg has been brutal. They attacked his wife because she works at a fundamental Christian school and require their teachers follow a specific moral lifestyle.
But their goal is to get religion banned. Choke them out financially. They want religion to lose their tax exemption status. This is wrong. All this is wrong.
They have to ban religion. Because religion will never promote what the LGBT really wants.
The War on Nature
There seems to be some confusion on nature versus normal. Just because it is normal does not make something natural. The reason the Bible says that “a man shall not lay with another man” is not because the writers of the Bible are gay hating bigots. It is because the purpose of procreation in to have children. It is the same reason the Bible said we should not eat pork and horse and men should be circumcised. It was a health (though bacon is good and women like men circumcised).
Gay men and women cannot have children. Period. Darwin, who the Left always trots out to dismiss religion, has proven. That survival of the fittest thing is about the species that can procreate and produce a bunch of kids. The Left, obviously, has stopped referring to Darwin because, I suspect, he disproves their point.
War on Science
It is not just a war in science but also a war on language.
Let us take a look at the growth of this movement. It used to the the LGB. Then it went to LGBT. Then it went to the LGBTQ. Now it is called the LGBTQ+. Probably because no one would be able to remember what they are called if the added the other 64 pronouns they are trying to get called.
The LGBTQ+ is trying to create language by changing the definition of sex and gender. They want one to believe that gender and sex are fluid. We are not male and female but we can be what we want to be which is complete crap. If you are a man that likes other men, you are still a man. But not so for them. We need to use other pronouns or fear insulting someone.
The big example is by changing the pronoun he or she to they. If I am bisexual or what ever, you should call me “they” and not “he”. This is the great lie. This is something that we cannot tolerate. It is dangerous to tolerate it.
What the LGBTQ are doing now is trying to change science through the acceptance of their manipulated language. Today they say that a man who says he is a woman is a woman. And more than one person has said it is scientifically proven. How? Because we call him “her” and that is acceptable in society. So it must be true. We are seeing this now.
Men who say they are women have asked the American Medical Association to treat those men as if they are women. There will be lawsuits over this. Men who say they are women want to compete in women’s sports. There is a lawsuit in Connecticut that is fighting to stop transsexual women from competing is in school sports. The judge in that case said that the plaintiff could not refer to the defendants of men because it was scientifically proven that men can be women.
This is wrong. This is sick. This is an abomination. This is a lie!
If someone wants to mutilate his genitals and call himself a woman, fine. He has the freedom to do that. I will even call him a her out of respect. But when a group of people say that I am a bigot, want me to lose my job and livelihood or even put in legal trouble because I will believe a man is a man and a woman is a woman, that is where I have an issue. I will not do that. The reason is simple: things can get worse and I do believe that we would end up normalizing perversion. Real perversion.
Embrace of Perversion
If you are older like me, you will remember that one was looked down on as a gay person. It was weird, perverse. Why would anyone want to do things like that to someone of their own sex. But, the reality is, homosexuality has been around forever so it is not that bazaar. J. Edgar Hoover was gay and rumored to be a transvestite in the 50s and 60s. This seemed to be an open secret. Dean Martin was gay. The guy from The Brady Bunh was gay.
Other historical figures include
Socrates
Alexander the Great
Leonardo Di Vinci
Michelangelo
Sally Ride
The Wachowski brothers
Oscar Wilde
Just to name a few.
So homosexuality has never been something unheard of in our society. I will even go so far as to say gay marriage probably had its movement started in the 60s and 70s. But we always feared that when you give a mouse a cookie, the mouse will want a glass of milk. That is what is happening.
The American Psychological Society took out the mental illness called Gender Dysphoria Disorder for the DSM-5, the medical encyclopedia for psychologists. This has changed the scene for potential transgenders and opened up a whole new form of perversion I never thought I would see in my lifetime. This has also changed our laws and procedures for changing one’s sex.
Laws are now in place that eliminate counseling for transgender candidates. This is a one way ticket folks and doctors want to make sure the potential patients know this. They also have eliminated the ability for psychologists and counselors to perform conversion therapies. Though I thought these could be a little extreme, there were people who appreciated them. A lot of the people just ended up happily gay but kept their stuff. That’s kind of important. This is because most people who have sex change operations typically commit suicide.
Today, boys who have not reached puberty are being encouraged to have hormone therapy in preparation for a sex change operation. There is a case in Texas where a woke mother wants to give hormone therapy and an eventual sex change operation to her nine year old son.
Sexualizing our kids is becoming a thing. Desmond the Amazing, a transsexual, transvestite 11-year-old has done a sex dance at a gay bar while having dollar bills tossed at him. Do not believe me? Look it up on YouTube! For some reason, YouTube will not block this.
Perversion is becoming mainstream. Listen to Don Lemon, who is a gay black man married to a gay white man, talk about pedophilia:
Wow!
The television show, South Park, had an episode called NAMBLA. NAMBLA stands for North American Man Boy Love Association. I looked this group up and it does exist. They say that they are an organization that believes that men who want to have sex with male children is normal. They actually have guides to groom and have sex with young boys and not get caught by the police. They wanted to be part of the LGBTQ+. Supposedly, they were rejected, but who knows what the “+” means. Could they be mainstream soon?
There is a man in Virginia who is suing to make incest legal. INCEST!! Remember that the governor of Virginia believes that babies who are born are not babies and can be killed. Could incest be mainstream.
The answer is “yes”. This is exactly why I was against gay marriage. Give a mouse a cookie and it will want a glass of milk. I am going to buy that book and read it everyday because it is so true. Perversion is something that should ever be accepted but, because we did not have the guts to deal with it at the get go, it is not going beyond anything we could ever imagine.
Orwell had it right.
What we can learn from a pig.
Let’s read some Orwell!
Old Major’s Speech in Animal Farm
All the animals were now present except Moses, the tame raven, who slept on a perch behind the
back door. When Major saw that they had all made themselves comfortable and were waiting
attentively, he cleared his throat and began:
“Comrades, you have heard already about the strange dream that I had last night. But I will come to
the dream later. I have something else to say first. I do not think, comrades, that I shall be with you
for many months longer, and before I die, I feel it my duty to pass on to you such wisdom as I have
acquired. I have had a long life, I have had much time for thought as I lay alone in my stall, and I think
I may say that I understand the nature of life on this earth as well as any animal now living. It is about
this that I wish to speak to you.
“Now, comrades, what is the nature of this life of ours? Let us face it: our lives are miserable,
laborious, and short. We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our
bodies, and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength; and
the very instant that our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty. No
animal in England knows the meaning of happiness or leisure after he is a year old. No animal in
England is free. The life of an animal is misery and slavery: that is the plain truth.
“But is this simply part of the order of nature? Is it because this land of ours is so poor that it cannot
afford a decent life to those who dwell upon it? No, comrades, a thousand times no! The soil of
England is fertile, its climate is good, it is capable of affording food in abundance to an enormously
greater number of animals than now inhabit it. This single farm of ours would support a dozen
horses, twenty cows, hundreds of sheep–and all of them living in a comfort and a dignity that are
now almost beyond our imagining. Why then do we continue in this miserable condition? Because
nearly the whole of the produce of our labour is stolen from us by human beings. There, comrades, is
the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word–Man. Man is the only real enemy
we have. Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for
ever.
“Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay
eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all
the animals. He sets them to work, he gives back to them the bare minimum that will prevent them
from starving, and the rest he keeps for himself. Our labour tills the soil, our dung fertilises it, and yet
there is not one of us that owns more than his bare skin. You cows that I see before me, how many
thousands of gallons of milk have you given during this last year? And what has happened to that
milk which should have been breeding up sturdy calves? Every drop of it has gone down the throats
of our enemies. And you hens, how many eggs have you laid in this last year, and how many of those
eggs ever hatched into chickens? The rest have all gone to market to bring in money for Jones and his
men. And you, Clover, where are those four foals you bore, who should have been the support and
pleasure of your old age? Each was sold at a year old–you will never see one of them again. In return
for your four confinements and all your labour in the fields, what have you ever had except your bare
rations and a stall?
“And even the miserable lives we lead are not allowed to reach their natural span. For myself I do not
grumble, for I am one of the lucky ones. I am twelve years old and have had over four hundred
children. Such is the natural life of a pig. But no animal escapes the cruel knife in the end. You young
porkers who are sitting in front of me, every one of you will scream your lives out at the block within
a year. To that horror we all must come–cows, pigs, hens, sheep, everyone. Even the horses and the
dogs have no better fate. You, Boxer, the very day that those great muscles of yours lose their power,
Jones will sell you to the knacker, who will cut your throat and boil you down for the foxhounds. As
for the dogs, when they grow old and toothless, Jones ties a brick round their necks and drowns them
in the nearest pond.
“Is it not crystal clear, then, comrades, that all the evils of this life of ours spring from the tyranny of
human beings? Only get rid of Man, and the produce of our labour would be our own. Almost
overnight we could become rich and free. What then must we do? Why, work night and day, body and
soul, for the overthrow of the human race! That is my message to you, comrades: Rebellion! I do not
know when that Rebellion will come, it might be in a week or in a hundred years, but I know, as
surely as I see this straw beneath my feet, that sooner or later justice will be done. Fix your eyes on
that, comrades, throughout the short remainder of your lives! And above all, pass on this message of
mine to those who come after you, so that future generations shall carry on the struggle until it is
victorious.
“And remember, comrades, your resolution must never falter. No argument must lead you astray.
Never listen when they tell you that Man and the animals have a common interest, that the prosperity
of the one is the prosperity of the others. It is all lies. Man serves the interests of no creature except
himself. And among us animals let there be perfect unity, perfect comradeship in the struggle. All
men are enemies. All animals are comrades.”
At this moment there was a tremendous uproar. While Major was speaking four large rats had crept
out of their holes and were sitting on their hindquarters, listening to him. The dogs had suddenly
caught sight of them, and it was only by a swift dash for their holes that the rats saved their lives.
Major raised his trotter for silence.
“Comrades,” he said, “here is a point that must be settled. The wild creatures, such as rats and
rabbits–are they our friends or our enemies? Let us put it to the vote. I propose this question to the
meeting: Are rats comrades?”
The vote was taken at once, and it was agreed by an overwhelming majority that rats were comrades.
There were only four dissentients, the three dogs and the cat, who was afterwards discovered to have
voted on both sides.
Major continued:
“I have little more to say. I merely repeat, remember always your duty of enmity towards Man and all
his ways. Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a
friend. And remember also that in fighting against Man, we must not come to resemble him. Even
when you have conquered him, do not adopt his vices. No animal must ever live in a house, or sleep
in a bed, or wear clothes, or drink alcohol, or smoke tobacco, or touch money, or engage in trade. All
the habits of Man are evil. And, above all, no animal must ever tyrannise over his own kind. Weak or
strong, clever or simple, we are all brothers. No animal must ever kill any other animal. All animals
are equal.
“And now, comrades, I will tell you about my dream of last night. I cannot describe that dream to you.
It was a dream of the earth as it will be when Man has vanished. But it reminded me of something
that I had long forgotten. Many years ago, when I was a little pig, my mother and the other sows used
to sing an old song of which they knew only the tune and the first three words. I had known that tune
in my infancy, but it had long since passed out of my mind. Last night, however, it came back to me in
my dream. And what is more, the words of the song also came back-words, I am certain, which were
sung by the animals of long ago and have been lost to memory for generations. I will sing you that
song now, comrades. I am old and my voice is hoarse, but when I have taught you the tune, you can
sing it better for yourselves. It is called ‘Beasts of England’.”
Old Major cleared his throat and began to sing. As he had said, his voice was hoarse, but he sang well
enough, and it was a stirring tune, something between ‘Clementine’ and ‘La Cucaracha’. The words
ran:
Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken to my joyful tidings
Of the golden future time.
Soon or late the day is coming,
Tyrant Man shall be o’erthrown,
And the fruitful fields of England
Shall be trod by beasts alone.
Rings shall vanish from our noses,
And the harness from our back,
Bit and spur shall rust forever,
Cruel whips no more shall crack.
Riches more than mind can picture,
Wheat and barley, oats and hay,
Clover, beans, and mangel-wurzels
Shall be ours upon that day.
Bright will shine the fields of England,
Purer shall its waters be,
Sweeter yet shall blow its breezes
On the day that sets us free.
For that day we all must labour,
Though we die before it break;
Cows and horses, geese and turkeys,
All must toil for freedom’s sake.
Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,
Beasts of every land and clime,
Hearken well and spread my tidings
Of the golden future time.
The singing of this song threw the animals into the wildest excitement. Almost before Major had
reached the end, they had begun singing it for themselves. Even the stupidest of them had already
picked up the tune and a few of the words, and as for the clever ones, such as the pigs and dogs, they
had the entire song by heart within a few minutes. And then, after a few preliminary tries, the whole
farm burst out into ‘Beasts of England’ in tremendous unison. The cows lowed it, the dogs whined it,
the sheep bleated it, the horses whinnied it, the ducks quacked it. They were so delighted with the
song that they sang it right through five times in succession, and might have continued singing it all
night if they had not been interrupted.
Unfortunately, the uproar awoke Mr. Jones, who sprang out of bed, making sure that there was a fox
in the yard. He seized the gun which always stood in a corner of his bedroom, and let fly a charge of
number 6 shot into the darkness. The pellets buried themselves in the wall of the barn and the
meeting broke up hurriedly. Everyone fled to his own sleeping-place. The birds jumped on to their
perches, the animals settled down in the straw, and the whole farm was asleep in a moment.
What a mess we have.
Chaos seems to be the way.
This is just the start.
Trump Commutes Sentence of Roger Stone
Roger Stone, the former Trump advisor who was accused of lying to officials and impeding an investigation, had his 40 month prison sentence commuted. Listen, I am not surprised Trump commuted his sentence. He should have had his sentence commuted, is not, forgiven by Trump. This is a 67-year-old man who was charged with lying about a crime that never happened. Heck, SWAT invaded his home, fully armed, under the filming of CNN, at fine in the morning.
Forty months for a 67-year-old is a long time. Could be a death sentence. Again, for lying about a crime that never happened.
Listen, I have seen Roger Stone on television and he is a loud mouth and annoying. I actually turned off Tucker Carlson when Roger Stone was on because I did not care what he had to say. I also think characters like Roger Stone make Trump look creepy. But I think it was a good move by Trump. I wish he would have dome that for poor Michael Flynn but it is what it is.
Of course, the media is flipping out about it. They flip out about everything. They didn’t flip out that much when Obama released Bradley Manning (or Chelsea, whatever you believe) from a 57 year sentence of treason for selling state secrets to Wikileaks. The media didn’t flip out when Obama released a bunch of terrorists for a captured military deserter whose disappearance led to the death of a bunch of soldiers.
I know: It’s what-about-ism and that’s a shitty way to debate. But I’m not debating here. I just don’t care that Trump commuted Stone’s sentence and I don’t care what the media has to say about it.
I hated Charles Barkley as a basketball player. I still don’t respect him as an intellectual giant. But Barkley has somethings that I do respect: he’s funny as fuck, he had an awesome point move that caused chaos in the paint and he’s got a crap-load of common sense. Unfortunately, common sense has gotten him into trouble with TBS in the past.
Basically, Barkley said if the NBA made their games this year into a social justice project, they were going to suffer. Financially. Here’s what he said:
“We need police reform, we need prison reform. My concern is turning this into a circus instead of trying to do some good stuff.
“The last thing they want to do is turn on the television and hear arguments all the time. It’s going to be very interesting to see how the public reacts.
“I think you’d have to be foolish to think we could go that whole three months without getting positive tests, but I think we are all flying in the dark right now and I don’t think anybody knows what’s going to happen. That’s a lot of money for these players… and they can put it back in their community. So I think that’s the main reason to play.
“You’d have to be a fool to think your kids will be safe in school right now. A lot of kids who are at home don’t have access to the internet. That really makes the gap between the rich and poor even more so. This is a critical time in our country.
“I just hope we get some adults who know what they are doing and stop screwing around and dividing our country.
“We need the cops, most of the cops do a fantastic job, but instead of defunding and all this other stuff, let’s just do police reform. Everybody should be on board for that whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, conservative or liberal.
“The Democrats and the Republicans can’t even talk about police reform. That’s the number one thing they should do before they do anything else. That’s something we have been talking about since [former NFL quarterback Colin] Kaepernick kneeled, and these clowns in the Democratic Party and Republican Party, that’s the number one thing they should do before they do anything else.
He is absolutely correct. Sports is going to be a victim of capitalism. People watch and pay for entertainment. Not political commentary. I spend most of my day dealing with politics. I like politics. I like when my blood pressure rises because I am pissed off about something. But, when I am watching a football game, I really do not give a damn about Drew Brees’s politics and opinions. Throw the frigging ball and shut the fuck up. And since Colin Kapernick decided to kneel, I watched less and less.
Basketball is worse. I have not watched basketball in five or six years. I hate the new rules. I hate the whiny players. And, now, they think I want to hear what they thing about America, Black Lives Matter and Hong Kong? Do you think I really give a damn what Lebron James thinks about politics? He is a great basketball player but I think he is a moron. Now we actually have to read his political opinions on his jersey. Yeah, will not be watching basketball.
And, you know, I am not the only one. Lots of people are going to stop watching. The sport’s viewership will go down and then management will wonder why it happened. This is not cancel culture. I am not saying, “don’t watch basketball”. I am saying I will not watch basketball and football. I will not watch it because I will not enjoy knowing that Lebron James thinks burning the flag is fine and that the idiot from Philly hates Jews.
Florida had a spike to 15,400 new cases in a single day.
Florida had 150,000 test…in one day.
The average age of those infected…24-35 years old. Hmm…
The death rate has gone down.
There is no spike in hospitalization. Hospitals are open for elective surgeries.
Ok, not a surprise. We open up the economy and test more than any other country, the virus is going to appear. Good for us, right?
Trump and Betsy DeVos think we are in good shape. They want to open schools.
Why?
The evidence shows that children are in no danger from the virus.
There is evidence that shows that children may not pass the virus to others.
Children are beginning to show emotional problems from being inside too much, including suicidal depression. Kids need friends.
Parents need and want to work. School gives them this outlet.
The Association of Pediatric Medicine says we should and need to open schools this fall.
Well, the media is pushing back:
Teachers are going to die. Union teachers.
Grandma is going to die.
Trump ignores science.
They point to Right-leaning states. They are the problem.
Cuomo and other Leftist states have handled this beautifully…ugh.
The protests had nothing (or will have nothing) to do with this surge.
Ugh. This is over This is done. Time to open the economy. The Left is politicizing the virus. They want to make everyone miserable so we will vote Trump out and prove that capitalism is the problem. Period.
What do Minneapolis, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Philadelphia, Dallas and New York City all have in common? There are actually three things: They are all run by Democrats, they have all had their crime rates raised by 100% and they all have proposals to defund and get rid of the police.
This is a real problem for the Left. Shootings are up 80% including the killings of children. Robberies are up 120%. And there is not a cop around to deal with it. New York City has gotten rid of their plain clothes police force and cut $1.5 billion from the police force. Los Angeles cut $150 million from their police force. Minneapolis has voted to completely defund the police. Philly has a 5-year plan to eliminate the police.
Why is crime going up? I don’t know. Maybe it has something to do with do-nothing Leftist leaders supporting rioters and thugs over the police and innocent citizens. Maybe having no-cash bail and releasing criminals has something to do with it. How about cutting funds from your police force and disbanding the undercover police force that is responsible for capturing criminals while they are committing crimes?
Well, the Left has some ideas. Listen to AoC, the brain trust of the Left:
This idiot is blaming:
Poverty
Fear of homelessness.
Starvation.
The government not being fast enough to give them free money
Wow, ok.
But there is more! Bill DeBlasio blames COVID-19. Sheila Jackson Lee blames the lack of gun control. Good luck with that one. A group of the Left blames the police…get this one…for not doing anything.
Here’s the problem with the Left blaming everything and everyone besides their shitty policies. And when one tries to blame race and it turns out that most murders are within the same race, they need to shotgun a bunch of excuses and hope something sticks.
This is why I like Trump. He says, “this is fucked up,” then “this is how we are going to unfuck it,” and he unfucks it.
I do not know when people are going to learn. The Left only cares about talking points and narratives. And it is only to trick the people so that they give them power. And, when they have power, that real concern about the people will disappear. Hell you see it now. Look at Los Angeles.
