Always Go With the Visionary

"That's no moon. It's a space station." - Obi Wan Kenobi, Star Wars IV A New Hope

Air Force, Space Force: may the Force be with you.

At a meeting of National Space Council intended to transfer space responsibilities from military to civilian hands, president Donald Trump surprised attendees by ordering the top US military officer to launch a new branch of the military in space.

While the creation of a Space Force has been debated for several years, the move has been opposed by the military, which has instead begun restructuring the Air Force Space Command to better address threats in space. - QZ

Oh sure, the Left and the media – but I repeat myself – will have their fun with this. But a more serious observer may consider this a very good idea given that WWIII may well be orchestrated from outer space rather than in the air or on the oceans. When survival is the the objective I say go with a visionary, very stable genius.

You know, a guy who knows how to take a vision and implement it.

May the Force be with you, Obi Wan Donaldnobi.

Always go with the visionary

Hyperbole: The Official Language of Progressives

Summer re-education camp curriculum for progressives, history and civics division. Lesson Plan #1:

This is a concentration camp:

The ovens of Auschwitz

This is NOT a concentration camp:

“Surrounded by high fencing, the South Texas Family Residential Center, as it is officially known, has a basketball gym, a school for the children, a state-of-the-art medical clinic and a beauty salon… ‘I would be lying if I said they didn’t treat us well,’ said Y.G.G., a 27-year-old woman who has been at the camp here since February.” – NYT

It’s not exactly a Hilton, or even a Holiday Inn Express. However it is also not a facility where people are subjected to hard labor; innocent people are not worked to death, starved to death, gassed, and their bodies stuffed into an oven either. See the difference?

What!? They have to do their own laundry?!!

Hyperbole: the official language of progressives everywhere, always. Because, FEELINGS!

Happy Father’s Day

And a big shoutout to Progressives for helping us redefine fatherhood:

TV Fathers Before the Progressive Enlightenment

TV Fathers After the Progressive Enlightenment

Any questions?

Happy Father’s Day to all the good Dads out there who somehow managed, with or without the manual.

When Democrats Rule, Money Literally Disappears

I’m going on a picnic today,

The Picnic, James Tissot

so I suggest you take a break from the FBI as well and instead contemplate reasons # 587-89 why Democrats should never be allowed to be in charge of anything. (Shot/Chaser/Hangover format borrowed, with attribution, from the Instapundit)

Shot: “WHY ARE DEMOCRAT MONOPOLY CITIES SUCH CESSPITS OF FISCAL PROFLIGACY?”

Philadelphia’s government has the worst accounting practices among the nation’s 10 largest cities, with $924 million in bookkeeping errors alone last year…That’s on top of the now-infamous missing $33 million, the discrepancy between what the city’s records say it has and what is in the bank.

Chaser:

Disgraced Former Detroit Mayor Convicted Of Corruption While City Struggles To Survive

Since when is any of this illegal in Detroit?

Hangover:

In a Facebook post, former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick asks President Donald Trump for a pardon or clemency from the 28-year prison sentence he is currently serving for corruption.

Given that even his clemency-for-minorities happy buddy, Barack Hussein Obama, couldn’t find it in his heart to give Kwame a pass I wouldn’t be selecting my get-out-of-jail pimp suit just yet.

Gives a Whole New Meaning to the Term “Free Press”

The quid pro quo of the Swamp:

The IG Report shows 300 documented instances of FBI members communicating (off the clock and off the record) with the media. That’s often known as a leak and it’s often illegal. Plus, they frequently accepted expensive gifts from their ‘friends’ in the media as well. Arguably that encouraged them to provide the media with even more confidential information: because that’s how quid pro quo works. That the members of the media are banned from accepting such bribes themselves would indicate they know how effective such “gifts” can be. But when you have a yarn to spin, a story to tell, you pull out all the stops.

Oh well, it’s #FLOTUSFriday and our FLOTUS is back. And looking good.

The so-called ‘free press’ continues to spin - on and on - their most recent Trump-fueled conspiracy. I guess there’s “no documentation of bias” there either; unless you read their stories.

Best Birthday Present Of All Time. EVER. (UPDATED)

Happy Birthday President Donald J. Trump!

What do you get a Very Stable Genius who has everything for his birthday?

  “President Trump, now that you have the IG’s report, what are you going to do?”

“I’m going to lock her up.”

P.S. Happy 243rd Birthday to the U.S. Army too.

And Happy Flag Day.

It’s almost as if Donald Trump was destined to be president, or something.

UPDATE Check it out, Donald J. Trump as a boy:

Proof that he was sincere when he said he loves the Mexican people, and has since he was a very young boy:

He and Juan Valdez grew up together!

The Doomsday Clock: Change It Back

“In 2017, the clock moved from three minutes to midnight to two-and-a-half minutes to midnight. The Bulletin cites the rise of nationalism, Donald Trump's comments over nuclear weapons and the threat of an arms race between the US and Russia. The year was also the first time a fraction was used in the time.” – Wired 

By the same time in 2018, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists saw fit to nudge the clock even closer to the hour of the apocalypse:

In moving the clock 30 seconds closer to the hour of the apocalypse, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists cited "the failure of President Trump and other world leaders to deal with looming threats of nuclear war and climate change." - The Washington Post

I wouldn’t begin to think myself worthy of advising the esteemed Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists on the accuracy of their Doomsday Clock, but come on guys: CHANGE IT BACK!

Peace: In a New York Minute

Historic handshake between the leaders with arguably the two funkiest hairdos in the world

There are lessons in the North Korea deal signed by Kim Jung Un and Donald Trump for everyone.

For the media: don’t write your (dire) headlines before history happens.

For Obama: You want a nuclear-free world? This is how it’s done, son. It’s called “peace through strength."

“Watch me”

Never-Trumpers: “He’ll never get it done” Trump: “Hold my covfefe”

We finally know what he meant

Justine Trudeau: If you wanted me to ink a trade deal all you had to do was play it straight

Iran mullahs: Ours are bigger than yours.

Liberals: I don’t want to hear anymore about family reunification. If North and South Korea reunification isn’t enough for you you’ll never be satisfied.

World: Never underestimate the Donald.

Yeah, I’ve got this
