Power To The People!

Are you following this little story? A train pulls into Braintree station; moments later it leaves with nobody in the driver’s seat and barrels down the track at breakneck speed, blowing through station after station, terrifying the few passengers aboard who were awake. Finally, somebody notices and pulls the plug on the third rail, cutting power to the out-of-control train and bringing it to a stop.

The train “operator” had apparently tied a cord to the throttle, did not set the brake, and stepped off the train – possibly to check on the status of the weather. The situation does raise the question of sabotage/terrorism butt so far the MBTA is maintaining their position that “mistakes were made.”

Sounds like a metaphor for America to me. I wonder who’s writing these scripts?
footnote:third rail” in politics is a metaphor for any issue so controversial that it is "charged" and "untouchable" to the extent that any politician or public official who dares to broach the subject will invariably suffer politically. The metaphor comes from the high-voltage third rail in some electric railway systems. Stepping on this usually results in electrocution, and the use of the term in politics relates to the risk of "political death" that a politician would face by tackling certain issues. – Wiki

Education: It Sure Ain’t What It Used To Be

There really are no words. Butt since I’m MOTUS to the FLOTUS, that makes me the official apologist so allow me to give it a go: yesterday Lady M launched her "Better Room" campaign,


Bad Ass Jay Pharoah, SNL Obama impersonator, and Bad Ass Lady M, FLOTUS impersonator


it’s part of her signature Reach Higher initiative aimed at motivating teens to "go to college." Because, you know, nobody has ever told kids before how important college is these days. It’s where you go to finish your official government indoctrination programing (so it really should be free), learn about micro-aggressions, hate speech, and your right to “safe places” and other schtuff that will prepare you for life in the grownup world.
So it’s perfectly understandable that Lady M would feel as though she really has to motivate teens to go to college: they will  be forced to live in dorm rooms bigger than their grandparents first 2 apartments, eat meals prepared for them 3 times a day - butt not necessarily all their favorites like mom used to make - and learn how to do homework all by themselves. I’m sure most kids would rather go out on their own, get a job, and be truly responsible and independent…oh wait, no; that was a different generation.
Anyway, about the video:
Created by comedy website CollegeHumor [ed. college humor sure ain’t what it used to be] as part of the first lady's "Better Make Room" education initiative, the video teams up Mrs. Obamawith Saturday Night Live's Jay Pharoah -- known for his spot-on President Obama impressions on the late-night variety show -- in a true melding of musical talent.[ed. musical talent sure ain’t what it used to be.] – CBS News
So…comedy rap: “Southside Chicago we all know we had to do overtime every night to make it tomorrow and everyone could really make their dream true. Hey kid, listening in Michigan that could be you.” See what I mean? Comedy used to be funny.
And as far as it being any kind of “music” let alone a “melding of musical talent” – well, I’ll let you judge that for yourself.
H/T to Fausta for locating the video: and now let me be clear, the above should be considered a warning, watch at your own risk)


According to a White House statement, Better Make Room is meant to "celebrate education, change the national conversation, and reach students directly where they are and give them a space to create content while also navigating the college-going process." - CBS News
I get the “change the national conversation” part, terrorism is such a drag. Butt if that’s a celebration of education, I’d just have to say, education sure ain’t what it used to be.

America’s Middle Class: Disappearing Down Obama’s Rabbit Hole

middle class

Here’s an interesting factoid: as the rich get richer and the poor get poorer the middle class is simply going “pouf.” That’s right, the middle class is disappearing down the rabbit hole that is Obama’s Amerika.

The nation's middle class, long a pillar of the U.S. economy and foundation of the American dream, has shrunk to the point where it no longer constitutes the majority of the adult population, according to a new major study. LA Times

Well how did that happen? Let’s see;

  • First you begin by passing new rules and regulations (e.g. ObamaKare and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act) that put small businesses in a stranglehold forcing them to eliminate jobs and hours.
  • Herald the resulting decrease in the labor participation rate (a record 94 million people no longer “participating”) as a triumphantly low unemployment rate when in reality you simply have placed more people on the public dole.
  • Let millions of unskilled “undocumented citizen” laborers into the country who will do the work that Americans used to do for “a living wage” for much less money.
  • Let millions of skilled foreign workers into the country on H-1B visas who will do the work that Americans used to do for a “a living wage” for much less money.
  • Provide social programs designed to serve not as safety nets, butt as European-style social-welfare.
  • Pass a Trans-Pacific Partnership that makes NAFTA look like a good deal for America by comparison.

money puppets

Then sit back and blame the 1% and the Republicans (Bush! Reaganomics!) for not supporting your progressive social justice programs; thereby causing the demise of the middle class.

RabbitHoleAll I can see are the “ears”

That, my friends, pretty much sums it up, no?

“Where’s My Effing Spectre!?”

The media is busy bashing The Donald for having grabbed their headlines away from them again – as if they have no control over this.

No control over situation

I even heard Megyn Kelly complaining (for her entire first segment) about how all the other networks were spending so much time on Trump’s “outrageous” position that we should ban Muslims from entering the country. She spent the rest of her show talking about how the lovely Tashfeen Malik (Muslim immigrant) arrived in our country with jihad on her mind.
I’ve heard everyone from bearded Republicans to peach-fuzzed Democratic spokesmouths declare Trump disqualified for the presidency. Josh Earnest even lectured us on “the first thing the president does as he takes office is to swear to uphold the constitution.” Of course that no longer means what you think it means.

63122343

Seriously, how brainwashed are we, how knee-jerk politically correct have we become that nearly everyone recoils at a suggestion that is a) NOT unconstitutional and b) a “common sense” self-preservation strategy? What part of “the Constitution is not a suicide pact” do these rubes not understand? Sovereignty means you get to decide who comes into your country butt we’ve been browbeaten into believing the “open borders” crowd trumps (no pun intended) our own constitution.
And now, important news from the other leading presidential candidate’s camp; oy vey! Would you look at what that pesky Judicial Watch has come up with now - an email from The Department of Defense dated September 11, 2012:
Judicial Watch today released a new Benghazi email from then-Department of Defense Chief of Staff Jeremy Bash to State Department leadership immediately offering “forces that could move to Benghazi” during the terrorist attack on the U.S. Special Mission Compound in Benghazi, Libya on September 11, 2012. In an email sent to top Department of State officials, at 7:19 p.m. ET, only hours after the attack had begun, Bash says, “we have identified the forces that could move to Benghazi. They are spinning up as we speak.”
Hmmm, this seems a bit…strange. Especially since they already had the go ahead from the Pentagon and from General Ham (AFRICOM). I guess we’ll have to wait for Judicial Watch’s next installment, which is not expected to be released until after the next presidential election

“Where’s my effing Spectre!?”
Alternatively, I guess we could just ask Hillary, since she was there too, although she was busy “spinning up” her own story about how some crazy video killed Ambassador Stevens. And besides, as you well know, what difference at this point does it make?
"We don’t deploy forces into harms way without knowing what’s going on.” – Leon Panetta

And believe me, we definitely didn’t – and still don’t - know what’s going on.

Silly Wabbit, Tricks Are For Kids

how-far-down-the-rabbit-hole-do-you-want-to-go.american-apparel-unisex-fitted-tee.white.w760h760b3

Judge Napolitano thinks that Barry’s common sense approach to gun “safety” is a Trojan horse. He called the Prezzy’s proposed “no-fly, no-guns” law a trick used to find a way around a Supreme Court decision he hates.

trix

Now - in addition to being placed on a no-fly list by some nameless, faceless, Kafkaesque bureaucracy accountable to no one – you may also be denied your Second Amendment right to bear arms.

Expressing the opinion of many others, the Judge expects that this ‘common sense’ measure will expand the “no fly, no arms” list exponentially. He also thinks the concept is unconstitutional – in case that sort of thing still bothers you – as it provides no due process, no right to appeal, no right to challenge and no access to a jury of your peers.

All because of one vewy twicky wabbit:

President Obama attends the annual Easter Egg Roll, Washington D

And while you may think that tricks are just for kids, here’s a little known fact about the Twicky Wabbit : There’s actually a second half to the Trix Slogan:

“Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids” goes the slogan we all know. This commerical, first shown in the 1960s, shows the devious nature of our favorite breakfast crusader, escaping the clutches of the children who won’t give him Trix, whispering, “and sometimes for tricky rabbits!” Am I the only one who never remembers hearing this? 

That’s right: “and sometimes for tricky rabbits!” 

ready shoot aimThe Twicky Wabbit goes hunting; leading from behind - ready, fire, aim.

Consider yourself warned, you must be vewy, vewy careful around this guy; not only is he a twicky wabbit, he’s also a member of the gang who couldn’t shoot straight.

“I Vant To Pump You Up!”

Between yesterday’s pre-party,

635850378625121467-AP-OBAMA-KENNEDY-CENTER-HONORS-78114696

performance,

635850356624597467-AP-OBAMA-KENNEDY-CENTER-HONORS-78118758

and post-party, Barry managed to squeeze in a little lecture to the American people from the Oval Office:

635850379419785467-EPA-EPASELECT-USA-OBAMA-78119386

Not sure why, as he didn’t actually say anything. I think the original plan was to announce his plan for an Executive Order gun grab butt public sentiment seems to be running high against that so he needs to wait for things to cool down a bit before whipping out his pen. He did finally allow the word “terrorism” to pass his lips butt still couldn’t bring himself to use the word in the same sentence as “Islamic.”

So the message was a little odd: He’s not going to change anything, as his tactics have been so effective in containing “ISIL” to date. Now it’s time for the do-nothing Congress to get on board. Although what he wants them to do is unclear, as Barry made it clear there will absolutely not be any (more) boots on the ground.

So there. Whatever. I’ve got to go. There are more important people waiting for me at the Kennedy Center.

"Tonight, we honor five artists who helped tell the story of the first American century through music, theater, and film -– and by doing so, helped to shape it, helped to inspire it, helped to fortify our best instincts about ourselves," Obama said in introducing the honorees to a star-studded audience that also included director Steven Spielberg, comedian Stephen Colbert, actor Tyler Perry, actress Julie Andrews, actress Kerry Washington, playwright Lin Manuel Miranda, director Martin Scorsese, musician Herbie Hancock, singer Janelle Monae, actress Rosie Perez and singer Usher. –USA Today

So I guess it’s going to be up to US to figure out how to deal with state sponsored terrorism:

A Man and His Squirrel

squirrel-obama

Just 2 days before the New York Times published its unusual front page editorial calling for more gun control, the old Gray Lady ran this Op-Ed piece questioning the “mass shootings” statistics thrown around by “news” publications like the Washington Post and, uh…the New York Times:

On Wednesday, a Washington Post article announced that “The San Bernardino shooting is the second mass shooting today and the 355th this year.” Vox, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, this newspaper and others reported similar statistics. Grim details from the church in Charleston, a college classroom in Oregon and a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado are still fresh, but you could be forgiven for wondering how you missed more than 300 other such attacks in 2015.

It should be noted that the author, Mark Follman, is an editor at Mother Jones. And needless to say, when a Mother Jones editor questions your “mass shootings” statistics, you have a serious credibility problem.

What explains the vastly different count? The answer is that there is no official definition for “mass shooting.” Almost all of the gun crimes behind the much larger statistic are less lethal and bear little relevance to the type of public mass murder we have just witnessed again. Including them in the same breath suggests that a 1 a.m. gang fight in a Sacramento restaurant, in which two were killed and two injured, is the same kind of event as a deranged man walking into a community college classroom and massacring nine and injuring nine others.

I see we don’t have an official “definition” for “terrorism” either – homegrown or otherwise - at least not one that Barry, Valarie, Loretta and the FBI can all agree on.

terrorists Misguided comic book characters, committing acts of shenanigans

Butt never mind all that stuff. Forget the mess we made of the Arab Spring, Libya, Syria, Iraq and Iran, disregard the rise of the JV team, stop worrying about the invasion of “vetted” foreigners to our shores. Big Guy is addressing the nation tonight and expect him to be more animated than usual because he’s really upset with all of you rubes who refuse to buy his common sense approach to terrorism and homegrown terrorists:
