Trigger Warning: Biased Debate Ahead

I note there was a Trigger Warning posted at the Hofstra University debate last night:

They should have added “biased opinion journalism ” to the list, in which case the “Open Your Eyes” sign on the table next to it would have made sense.

My take on the the debate-by-moderator-fact-checking format: it was a draw. Trump didn’t go all nuts-o and start screaming at Hilz,  Hilz didn’t short circuit and fall over and Lester Holt didn’t moderate. Or ask Hillary any tough questions about her emails, Benghazi, or the Clinton Foundation scam.

Lester did manage to squeeze in a few tough questions:  about Trump’s racist birther position, Trump’s mean comments about women, Trump’s taxes and Trump’s bankruptcies. Really issues that middle-America wants to know about. Questions which might lead you to think that old Lester was in the bag for Hillary if you didn’t know that it was a fair and balanced debate. Not that it mattered.  People only watch these things to see their candidate eviscerate their opponent. That didn’t happen for either camp last night, so we’ll have to hold our fire for the next one. Maybe Trump could try preparing and see how that works out.

So, who won? I say draw, butt clearly Hillary and her little happy dance indicate she thinks she is WINNING!

So don’t worry, and don’t expect the trend towards Trump in the polls to change much. He did manage to slip out of the corral for a bit, butt at least he stayed on the farm. And while Hillary didn’t implode she didn’t move the dial on her likability scale either, confirming she’s still the unlikable woman we’ve grown to know and hate.

The Podium Wars: Leveling the Playing Field

I see that President-Stompy-Foot-in-Waiting got her special Mine-is-Bigger-Than-Yours podium for tonight’s battle of the tongues.

Along with a soap box to stand on.

“Lectern Power Supply” – makes you wonder what power is in this box that Hillary will be standing on.

Although in reality the slight of hand to make Hilz appear to be on par with her opponent requires some reverse engineering: the Hilz podium is actually smaller in stature with a yuge litter lifter box for her to stand on in order to make her appear – scale wise – as large as The Donald.

And do not think for one moment that Hillary won’t be on her game tonight. Just as some women spend their younger years planning their wedding, Hillary has spent her entire life preparing to be president.

Hillary: Lying to you since 1973

And nobody knows the value of optics better than the Clintons. Trust me, she will be on her game: plumped, pumped, waxed and shined.

The training-wheel years

Don’t worry, I’m going to wash my hair and grab a nap before air time.

So - after claiming there would be no stools, no podium adjustments and no little boosts from the moderators – we now have proof that this debate will harken back to the good old Candy Crowley days of media “neutrality.”

I don’t think it means what you think it means.

Anyway, we should all be happy that Hillary has finally struck down the bias against short people.

Murmurations: When the beating of your heart echoes the beating of the drums.

I’m feeling a bit whimsical today so this flight of fancy is perfect. Photographer Dylan Winter captures the glorious “murmurations” of several hundred thousand starlings as they rise and fall, arc and plane in self-organizing choreography on their way home for the night.

Can you hear the sound of a half million wings beating in unison? That’s known as a murmuration, my friend.

.

I have found evidence of other equally impressive self-organizing “murmurations” where birds of a feather  flock together.  I know these have been posted before butt watch the whole thing anyway; it’s almost like going to church.

Can you hear it? The sound of millions of hearts beating in unison? That’s known as a murmuration, my friend.

When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Murmurations #6, Alain Delorme

I don’t know about you, butt I hear America singing (h/t Walt Whitman). It started out as a murmur, butt it’s a full throated song now.

The Village Idiot; Fundamentally Transformed

Guess who changed their mind and is now going to vote for Trump?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know: Ted Cruz. Butt this is even BIGGER! I don’t normally cover the Village Idiot butt this - this is YUGE! Kimmie Kardashian might switch her allegiance from Hillary and go with Trump!!!! 

And wait till you hear why - Caitlyn! That’s right Caitlyn Jenner set her straight, how ironic is that?

Can Kanye be far behind?

Or will this create irreconcilable differences in yet another Kardashian marriage? Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, apparently Ted Cruz either came to his senses and realized that his pride isn’t as important as the future of his children or he decided that he might need the RNC at some point in his future career plan so he announced he’s sort of supporting Trump.

Cruz said he made the decision because he wants to keep his word to support the Republican nominee – and he finds Hillary Clinton “wholly unacceptable.”

I think Reince Priebus may deserve a bit more respect than I’ve been willing to give in the past:

“Look, people who agreed to support the nominee, who took part in our process, they used tools from the RNC. They agreed to support the nominee. They took part in our process,” Priebus explained.

“We’re a private party. We’re not a public entity. Those people need to get on board,” he warned. “And if they’re thinking they’re going to run again someday, I think we’re going to evaluate the nomination process, and I don’t think it’s going to be that easy for them. I think these are things that our party’s going to look at in the process. I think people who gave us their word, used information from the RNC, should get on board.” - Raw Story

As you know I was a yuge Ted supporter until he hid behind his conscience in order to become the de facto leader of the #HillaryByProxy movement. And before he revealed his conscience to be more id than superego.

So I’m glad he decided to do the right thing even if he did have to be cattle prodded into it.

I don’t expect Jeb to join the new Republican party as everyone knows the Bushes are finally over. Nor do I expect John Kas-ick to join as he really is a little man, even if his father was a mailman. And he isn’t that smart.

Butt Cruz…welcome back buddy. Make nice with The Donald and I see no reason why you can’t be the first Supreme Court Justice to step down after 8 years and go on to win the presidency. That would be historical.

After all, as Ted said, DJT can’t Make America Great Again all by himself. So thanks for keeping your word.

It will take a village

Oh, and one last thing; has anybody thought to put Glenn Beck on suicide watch yet?

Don’t Worry, We’ve Got a Plan

Okay, it’s official: no public appearances (including fund raisers!) until debate night.

CHAPPAQUA, N.Y., Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton has cleared her public campaign schedule as of Thursday to focus on preparing for Monday's presidential debate, while her opponent Donald Trump will continue campaigning in swing states through Saturday, according to their campaign schedules. – UPI

Since Hilz, the smartest woman in the world, is already eminently qualified to be president -

she doesn’t need to waste time reviewing issues. Instead, her prep will include the following:

Effective techniques for stifling a yawn, lest someone claim she’s too tired to be president:

Effective techniques for stifling a cough, lest someone claim she’s too ill to be president:

Grandma, what a big cough you have!

How to fall over gracefully in the event of a sudden neurological incident:

And especially, how to smile without looking like a crazed maniac:

I think we’re good with the first 3 butt we’re still working on that last one:

It looks like we have a little more work to do:

via Larwyn’s Linx

Butt don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of time to nail this; and we’ve got a plan…

I would recommend a very, very long sleep.

Everything is Progressing According to Plan*

I see that #HilzHiatus has rolled their candidate out this week to prove she’s not a hologram:

Although I noted in the Orlando appearance she avoided the usual side-to-side teleprompter reading - in order to avoid any more commentary on her wonky eye. Instead she either used notes on the podium, turned her entire head/body or spoke directly straight into the camera, which used to be standard practice before the multi-TOTUS era butt now appears odd.

The crowd in Orlando was yuge! Not Donald Trump public arena yuge, butt HRC local school gym yuge:

And it was only scheduled because she was in town anyway to have her picture taken with a bunch of 1 percenters at a $100,000/head fundraiser:

Clinton was scheduled to appear at a fundraiser Wednesday night at the home of attorney John Morgan in a gated community of Heathrow. Morgan and the Clinton campaign had no comment on the event, which includes a reception for those who donate $100,000.

Meanwhile, rioting continued in Charlotte where they were protesting the police shooting of an armed black man ignoring police orders. I can’t help butt note that the last time we saw so so much mayhem in a 12 month span was during the Long Hot Summer of 1967.

• 1967: Roxbury riots, (Boston, Massachusetts)
• 1967: Tampa riots, (Tampa, Florida)
• 1967: Texas Southern University Riot (Houston, Texas)
• 1967: 1967 Detroit riot (Detroit, Michigan)
• 1967: Buffalo riot (Buffalo, New York)
• 1967: Milwaukee Riot (Milwaukee, Wisconsin)
• 1967: Minneapolis North Side Riots (Minneapolis, Minnesota)
• 1967: 1967 Newark riots (Newark, New Jersey)
• 1967: Plainfield riots (Plainfield, New Jersey)
• 1967: Cincinnati riots (Cincinnati, Ohio)

Back then the Black Power Movement used Civil Rights as an excuse to release mayhem in the streets. Oddly  enough that occurred during the term of Lyndon Johnson (D) - champion of the Great Society and the Black man.

Now – in the Age of Obama- the Black Lives Matter crew, under the guise of Social Justice, is inciting riots  across the country again.  Fifty years into The Great Society and everything seems to be progressing according to plan (*H/T Lantern); the black man (and woman) is getting a little something, like flat screen TVs…and iPads.

… America is on the verge of a race war. Particularly since August 2014, from the shooting of black suspect Michael Brown by white officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson to the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement which has wedged its way into national prominence, racial unrest in this country under Obama’s reign has gone from a tense simmer to a churning boil.

The left want to pin this ugly decline on what they perceive to be the right’s racist refusal to accept a black man as President; but in fact, it is left’s own corrosive, inherently racist, identity politics, spearheaded by Obama himself, that has exacerbated rather than healed our racial divide. Frontpage

To which all I can add is Jon Gabriel’s evergreen tweet:

How much more racial healing can we endure before the entire society breaks down?

James Comey’s FBI Clears the Path For Evil-Doers

Let’s review the FBI’s track record over the past 3 years:

They investigated the Boston Bombers and found no reason for concern, thereby clearing any hurdles in the path of the Tsarnaev brothers to accomplish their goal of wreaking death and havoc on the Boston Marathon.

Comey’s FBI were also investigating the “Draw Muhammad” shooters. Again, they found  nothing that a reasonable prosecutor would have pursued. Unfortunately for the shooters they were taken out by local police before being able to achieve their life-long desire of killing dozens of infidels for Muhammad- who-shall-remain-faceless.

 

Omar Mateen was investigated too - twice. Finding that “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case,” Comey’s FBI left him to accomplish his desire of massacring dozens of gay people (Allah be praised).

And now it appears that the FBI also investigated Ahmad Khan Rahami after his own father turned him in as a terrorist. Alas, that investigation was also closed when it was found  that “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.”

With a track record like that it’s not surprising that Hillary - after an extensive FBI investigation – was likewise cleared by none other than Director Comey who could not find enough evidence of wrongdoing to bring charges so concluded that “no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.” And thank goodness, as that leaves Hillary free to pursue her life-long dream of becoming the first US President with a vagina.

And speaking of Watergate…

Hillary was and remains the most dubiously innocent woman in America. Butt what difference at this point does it make?

America’s Last Black President Addresses the UN for the Last Time

Today is the last time Barry’s motorcade and entourage will foul up Manhattan traffic all day in order to address the United Nations General Assembly. It will be the last time as President he will be able to use the UN backdrop to apologize for America, chastise those who dare disagree with him, and lie with impunity – for the greater good of course.

It will be Barry’s last chance to use the UN pulpit to preach that terrorism is just a “war of narratives” and explain why we need to welcome even more “refugees” to our shores. Because, after all, they are just like you and me; they come for love.

I suspect he will not take the opportunity to address the mayhem the world has descended into since he took the reins of power in the Western world. Rather, expect our last Black President to note his historic record of achievements:

His historic accord on global warming, something he had to do on his own because of the do-nothing Congress. And because he promised that “this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”

EPA Colorado river spill, on it’s way to Obama’s lowering oceans

His historic Russian reset:

His historic Iranian nuclear deal that is certain to heal US/Iranian relations:

His historic opening of Cuba along with the resultant healing:

President Obama’s “syrupy” words about brotherhood and shared history, and his call to leave behind the enmity of the past, were enough to give Cubans “a heart attack,” former president Fidel Castro said Monday in his first public response to Obama’s visit to Cuba last week.

“We don’t need any gifts from the empire,” Castro wrote in a scathing article, addressed to “Brother Obama” and published in Granma, the Cuban Communist Party newspaper

His historic, special Chinese ties:

And if he has any time left after all these bows he will trash-talk the people who are trying to undo his legacy  by Making America Great Again. By using profiling. And Walls. What a basket of deplorables.
