Bitchy and Scratchy

The Trumps arrive in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia:

trump-melania-saudi-arabia

Somehow the boob belt seems less offensive on Melania. But do you want to know what is as offensive? The lack of head covering. ABC couldn’t wait to point out that although Michelle Obama didn’t wear head covering when visiting Saudia Arabia in 2015,

First lady Melania Trump stepped off Air Force One at King Khalid International Airport Saturday morning without a head scarf -- following the example of her predecessor, Michelle Obama -- and potentially creating a stir in this conservative Islamic country. ABC

she “intended to make a statement in a country where women have few rights.”  Not only does Donald Trump have no intent of making women’s rights an issue on his trip, he had the audacity to criticize Lady M for not wearing a head covering 2 years ago:

Let’s just say his views have evolved on this subject – a position that was always good enough for our historic, last half-black president.

Anyway, I think the FLOTUS looked lovely and quite at ease,

The Ungovernable Left – E Pluribus Unum Amplius

  Berkeley-Riot-Ungovernable-leftThe Left’s Agitprop on Parade: Berkeley, February 2017

As you know my love for Tucker has waned significantly over time, to the point that I seldom watch. But as sleep alluded me last night I switched it on at 2:00 AM and was stunned to hear the most comprehensive condemnation of the Left in America I’ve heard in a very long time.

Tucker Carlson believes the left wants to remove President Donald Trump by any means necessary, and he says this highlights the drastic and dangerous changes the progressive movement has undergone in the past several decades.

"The modern left is no longer an ideological movement. Instead it's an organized movement around identity politics," Tucker said on tonight's show.

He warned that dividing Americans into "sub-groups" and promoting "tribalism" is dangerous for our democracy.

He said that modern progressives don't want to argue and have a reasonable discussion. They want their "team" to win, and some of them are willing to use violence to do so, as we've recently seen at protests across the country. – Fox News Insider

He calls the modern Left the perfect perversion of the American tradition of “out of many one.”

E_Pluribus_Unum164

He also warned of the danger inherent in the increasing tolerance of escalating political violence.

Carlson revealed that of the progressives he’s hosted on his Fox show, some have outright refused to decry political violence.

Violence is what separates politics from war. It’s when hurt feelings become dead bodies, the point at which countries become ungovernable.”  The Blaze

It’s a 6 minute clip and worth every second of your time.

The Left has fundamentally transformed the idea of America from E Pluribus Unum to E Pluribus Unum Amplius – out of many, many more - which all but guarantees they will be ungovernable by any other than their own kind. And we won’t allow it.

“That Would Be a Big F***ing Deal”

When the odds are against us, when things look grim, when everyone else has given up and even the cheer team is down…President Trump will step in to carry the ball himself.

“You will find that things happen to you that you do not deserve and that are not always warranted, but you have to put your head down and fight, fight, fight. Never, ever, ever give up...”

"Adversity makes your stronger. Don't give in. Don't back down and never stop doing what you know is right. Nothing worth doing ever, ever, ever came easy. And the more righteous your fight, the most opposition you will face."  Donald J. Trump, Coast Guard Academy Graduation May 17, 2017

So, as we move from RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA! to IMPEACH, IMPEACH, IMPEACH! with nothing but a Special Prosecutor in-between I caution the pre-programmed, mind-numbed robots not to get too far out in front of themselves, lest they be left broken hearted.

SadRobot 

James Comey, May 3, 2017:

“That Never Happened In My Experience”

Mind you, “that would be a very big deal.” Allow me to interpret that for you:that would be a big f***ing deal.”

And so, let the hunger games begin:

odds-are-never1

That doesn’t mean we won’t prevail. We’re made of much tougher stuff.

A Leak a Day Keeps the Plumbers at Bay

You all remember the Watergate Plumbers don’t you?

On Thanksgiving evening of 1972, David Young arrived home from his planning at the Special Investigative Unit, when his grandmother asked him, "What do you do at the White House?", to which he replied, "I am helping the president stop some leaks." She replied, with astonishment, "Oh, you're a plumber!" Young, Liddy and Hunt then put up a sign on their office with the title, "The Plumbers". Soon it was taken down, because their covert operations were supposed to be top secret, but the name stuck for the group.

The White House Plumbers, sometimes simply called the Plumbers, was a covert White House Special Investigations Unit, established July 24, 1971, during the presidency of Richard Nixon. Its task was to stop the leaking of classified information, such as the Pentagon Papers, to the news media. – Wiki

white-house-plumbers

 

The real problem with Watergate 2.0 is that we can no longer distinguish the plumbers from the leakers. In Watergate 1.0 the plumbers were trying to fix the White House leaks; in Watergate 2.0 the leakers are trying to plumb the White House:

trump on intelligence leaks

And now the NYT leaks a phone call from a “Comey associate at the FBI” saying he has notes from Comey’s personal diary – which Comey apparently kept copiously as an insurance policy – saying Trump tried to kill the Flynn investigation. I guess we’ll find out in due course if Trump’s veiled threat of a tape in the White House is real.

trump comey tapes

And explain again why it is that only Republican era leaks put national security at risk while Democrat era leaks do not.

And while all the busy little bees continue to buzz around “Russia!, Russia! Russia!” hoping to take down their second President in less than 50 years a real news story - North Korea and Iran rush towards Nuclear arms capable of reaching the United Statesglides under the media radar. Because they have bigger fish to fry than a simple nuclear holocaust.

You might think that the really Big Story here would be “Deep State Colludes with Deep Media to Delude the American Public.” I think that’s your soundbite right there, Larry.

Don’t anyone hold their breath.

The Underpants Bombers Strike Again

Two stories:

  • Trump allegedly shares highly classified information with the Russian foreign minister and ambassador in a White House meeting last week. Sources appear to be “current and former U.S. officials” - probably located inside the CIA and/or NSA. This is intolerable!

Hillary-Clinton-Email-Servers-Home-Scandal-Private-Email-Secretary-of-State-620x435

  • Murdered DNC staffer Seth Rich - murdered last summer in a “botched robbery” in which neither his wallet or expensive watch was taken – had been communicating with WikiLeaks before his death. Washington Police Department told to “stand down” in their investigation.

Screenshot Studio capture #3173

Which story will preoccupy the MSM all day every day for the rest of the week? Provide the “Constitutional Crisis” du jour? And provide fodder for every Democrat hack to write editorials calling for Trump’s impeachment?  That’s easy -  which will generate more clicks?

Screen Capture #386

If they can’t have Watergate they will make their own Watergate.

Thus in an attempt to warn the Ruskies of new potential threats to commercial airliners, Trump will be lit up by his own petards.

How Did This Happen?

Making America Great Again, Miss USA version:

700043646EM005_2017_Miss_USmiss-usa-2017-district-of-columbia-kara-mccullough-2

 

The new Miss USA is a scientist at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and she knows a thing or two about dropping a bomb.

Pageant winner Kara McCullough sent heads shaking Sunday night when she said affordable health care in America is a “privilege” instead of a “right.”

McCullough, 25, who started the day as Miss District of Columbia, linked health care access to job creation, leaving the impression that people without a job are not entitled to coverage. - NY Daily News

And she does NOT consider herself a feminist! She prefers the term “equalist,” and has demonstrated how to be treated equally in the market place (hint: get a degree in something that somebody actually needs, like chemistry).

How did this happen? I suspect a Russian conspiracy and demand a special prosecutor.

MAGA: It’s Mother’s Day Not Nanny-State Day

I see that in honor of Mother’s Day weekend the little mother from North Korea decided to test his unguided missiles again. He might want to be a little more judicious when playing his virtual reality games in the future as the stakes tend to get higher every time you play.

He might get the Mothers’ Day special whether he ordered it or not.

But speaking of Mother’s Day, Melania continued the White House tradition of hosting Military Mothers ahead of Mother’s Day.

Making America Great Again, one classy outfit at a time. And now that Trump’s president we can once again celebrate Mother’s Day instead of Nanny State Day.

NannyState

"Mother is a title that claims your heart and changes your life forever," the first lady said in remarks before the attendees. "In fact, it has been said that having a child means allowing your heart to walk around outside of your body."

So if you’re lucky enough to still have a mom around, grab some flowers (or your phone) and thank the woman who let her heart walk around independent of her body.

flowers

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Mom’s out there – and to everyone else who has - or ever has had - a Mom!
