Too Oft Repeated ...


Locus: a press conference in downtown Gotham ...

Players: the very tall, dim-witted mayor, the state's somewhat shifty governor, and the too-loyal chief of police.

Now, the opening of the news conference: "As you all know I am the mayor of this city where a few short hours ago we suffered this gruesome tragedy. But first of all, we must say that our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of this apparently lone-wolf attack. We cannot yet classify this as terror even though the suspect was shouting something in Arabic when he exit his lethal vehicle ...which mowed down all these victims. We will name all the dead after their next of kin have been notified. It is also far to early to release the name of the assailant or describe his motivation which we don't yet understand ... but we want to caution everyone not to jump to conclusions and to lash out at those minorities assumed to be responsible. We want to commend our first responders for the heroism and professionalism in how they dealt with this horrific act. Remember everyone ... if you see something, say something ... blah blah blah ... blah blah ... blah blah blah ... blah.

Comment Bait


Special Counsel Robert Mueller-dropped three shoes today. He indicted Paul Manafort and his sidekick Rick Gates for a bunch of white-collar crimes when they were working for the Podesta Group many years before they hooked up with Trump to lead his campaign for two months through the Republican convention in the summer of 2016. Their work for the Podesta Group involved doing PR for the Ukraine government ... rather than colluding with Russia. And the name Donald Trump does not appear in the Mueller indictments. Also Mueller revealed that an unpaid Trump campaign worked named George Papadopolous had been arrested this past July for lying to authorities about an attempted Russian contact.

The Podesta Group is a powerful DC lobbying firm and is run by the brothers John and Tony Podesta.  John Podesta had been Hillary Clinton's campaign manager in her failed attempt at the presidency.  Interestingly, Tony Podesta resigned today from the Podsta group after it had been revealed that he too is a target of Mueller's investigation.

And in another related development a former FBI informant is now been freed to testify to Congress (if he lives) about some actual campaign collusion with Russia ... but the other party here is not Donald Trump, but the DNC ... which paid some $12 million through an intermediary for the fake Russian pee pee dossier on Trump ... which was then likely used by the Obama administration to justify surveiling the Trump campaign. So the fox has now morphed into the rabbit. I and a lot of others wonder if Mueller will investigate this actual Russian campaign collusion ... by the Democrats?

Given his politics and that of his posse, this seems unlikely.

Surprise!


Is anyone shocked that Special Counsel,  Robert Mueller, has caused his grand jury to issue an indictment or indictments in the Trump-Russia collusion probe? We should know on Monday who the indictee(s) are. Since the revelation that Hillary Clinton and the DNC had indeed colluded with Russia, through the Fusion GPS firm, to try to smear Trump prior to last year's election, the pressure is on Mueller to reverse this reversal. Although the liberal media has been trying to ignore Fusion GPS and the Uranium One scandal, these damaging revelations are beginning to change the narrative in the Deep State's slow motion coup.

So ... Mueller has been forced to pull the trigger on his investigation ... and, I predict, he better hit the target's bullseye. If this first indictment or indictments are not stunners, then it is likely that this special investigation might quickly become a laugher ...

Afterward: My prediction is Paul Manafort ... ,maybe when he was oorking for the Podesta Group ...

Is there possibly a connection between the extremely generous yet lax IT employment requirements that the Pakistani Awan family enjoyed under Debbie Wasserman Schultz and other House Democrats? For details on this weird and suspicious relationship, see: NY Post Article. And the fact that the Awans likely knew, because of their access to congressional Democrat and Democrat Narional Committee computers, all about the multi-million dollar shinanigans that the DNC was engaging in with Fusion GPS ... regarding the fakeTrump-Russian dossier? Was this stunning Congressional laxity and generosity to the Awan family connected to the fact that they knew all about this dossier dirt ... and maybe even the more explosive Uranium One scandal?

If so, I think they might have been involved in their own shinanigins ... sometimes known to law enforcement as blackmail ...

Why Trump?


I was watching Morning Perjoritive, er, Joe this morning and sighing Mika was dropping mortar rounds on Trump again as she does every morning without fail ... and she asked every guest to join her in her fusillade. This was all in the context of Jeff Flake's denouncement of Trump on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday. Flake is now considered to be the conscious of conservatism ... even though he is for open borders and the kind of free trade that bleeds the U.S. of jobs.

Is Trump Sir Galahad? Hardly! He is a bit of a blowhard. And an egomaniac. His tie is too long. He does stretch the truth, but doing a Google search on his "lies" does not turn up many whoppers. Most of his lies are a consequence of his oversized ego ... like exaggerating the size of his inauguration crowd (and his pickle.) But compared to Hillary's and Obama's monstrous mendacity, he is a piker.

So why did I vote for and still support this "mentally deranged idiot?" It really comes down to the lesser of two evils. The previous administration was so corrupt, so dirty, so anti-American, so self-serving, so duplicitous, so mendacious, so slimy, so dangerous ... I could go on for quite a while ... that it couldn't be allowed to continue. However, sometimes doctors use one malady to defeat another ... like when they use malaria to cure cancer.

And to me,Trump is the lesser malaria defeating the more lethal cancerous scourge of the Obama/Clinton threat. This would-be terminal disease is now being pushed into remission and yet, many myopics and slope-heads like Mika are incensed that we are suffering the ague of the Trump malaria. I myself am more than willing to suffer some night sweats to avoid our country's big sleep.

Now, my liberal friends and readers, you know why I have said and written such heresy.

Lie-a-watha


Massachusetts Senatot Elizabeth Warren (aka, Lie-a-watha) has a reputation for stretching the truth ... like when she claimed to be part Indian to garner a law professorship at UPenn and then later at Harvard. Since then, she has parlayed this fake ethnicity into becoming the senior senator from the Bay State ... but has quietly dropped this native-American fantasy.

Now she is reveling in make-believe once again ... claiming to have been sexually harassed as a "baby law professor" in Texas. Her story was first unraveled in the Boston Globe of all places and now is fully exposed for her mendacity in the Boston Herald.

Like many of Warren's breathless pronouncements, this story smacks of hyperbole (or lies, if it were Trump). Her sexual "predator" clearly didn't chase her around the desk ... he was much older and had had polio. She clearly was not "shaking" because she joked about this incident when she lauded him at his funeral. All in all, Lie-a-watha wanted to jump again onto the "me too" self-promotional bandwagon. She is clearly a poseur all the way to the top feather on her war bonnet.

To be  fair, it's not that Senator Warren may not have some good ideas ... but when her initial heritage premise was a fraud ...  followed up by her additional fake grandstandings ... somehow she loses quite a bit of her luster.

Corker Comes a Corker


First read: NY Times Article, then, in this pissing contest between President Trump and Senator Corker, the senator clearly needs some more leverage. I suggest he should find himself a red cowboy hat ... like Rep. Frederica Wilson ... and then accuse Trump of not remembering his name ...

Social Sandpaper


President Trump's interpersonal style is to keep interlocutors off balance with insults, half-truths and hyperbole  ... whereas the media and many Democrats believe that this has been their God-given advantage. This seems to be the basis of much of America's current societal friction. And, since neither side is likely to change their sandpaper styles, we are likely due for a stressful number of years ... that is, except for those who understand this dynamic ... like much of middle America.

Irishophobia


President Trump's Chief of Staff, General Kelly, is a racist according to Lawrence O'Donnell of MSNBC. This, according to O'Donnell,  is not only because he called red cowboy-hatted Representative Frederica Wilson an "empty barrel" (makes a lot of noise) but also because Kelly grew up around Boston, is Irish and a Catholic ... see: "The Five" Video.

Interestingly, O'Donnell is also an Irish Catholic who grew up in Boston ... as were JFK, RFK, all that generation of Kennedys, Ray Flynn, Conan O'Brien, John Kerry (once a year on St. Patrick's Day), Kevin White, Marty Walsh, Cardinal Cushing, Ben Affleck, Whitey and Billy Bulger, James Curley, Senator Ed Markey, John L. Sullivan, Tip O'Neill, Mary McGrory, and so on and on. They all must be or have been racists and should be shunned or have their histories expunged.

No? Can't be? Then it must be that Lawrence O'Donnell made a prejudicial comment and is another self-loathing sufferer of Irishophobia.

Blue Suede Shoes


I was just watching a Time-Life promotional ad on TV for its Oldies and Goodies rock-a-billy CD collection ... Jerry Lee Lewis, the Platters, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly, the Everly Brothers, etc.  ... and one snippet was from "Blue Suede Shoes" by  Carl Perkins (1955, my Junior year in HS). This started a flood of memories about my life back then ... including, of course, my, no kidding, blue suede shoes, pegged pants and, yes, my duck-tail haircut. (actually I think we called it a "duck's-ass" haircut.) This get-up also required a little wire brush to tend to the shoes, Suave hair cream and a comb in your back pocket to keep your hair ducked.

At some point I might try to recall and recount more of the lettuce leaves in my salad days ... but, for now, I am just a bit chagrined that I was such a slave to fashion back then. This is maybe why I swim so much against the faddish tides these trying times.

Thirty Pieces of Silver


Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.

It seems that Bill Clinton had Loral Corp. supply China with critical missile technology in exchange for something more than $3 million in China's contributions  to his campaign.

And Hillary Clinton permitted controlling interest in Uranium One, representing 20% of U.S. uranium stockpiles, to be sold to the Russians for its $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation.

At the very least the Clintons  apparently have learned to charge much more each time they  sell out their country. Judas Iscariot never learned this economic lesson since there was only one Christ.

Paranoia


I'm not usually paranoid, but there was one moment when I fell into this psychotic pitfall.

Short story:

Almost twenty years ago I had started a data analysis software company, Occam Research, and had attracted a number of big-bucks investors. However, to protect themselves, these investors insisted that the company take out a multi-million dollar insurance policy on my life. Like most start-ups the company eventually ran into cash-flow problems causing me considerable heartburn. And, in the back of my mind, I often thought that my passing might solve the company's problems ... and had a few paranoid thoughts that others might have these secret thoughts.

A short time later, while driving to work following my standard route, I experienced a strange happenstance -- a huge limb fell off a tree just about ten feet in front of my car ... a limb, had it hit my car might have sent me to my maker. I drove around this fallen limb and to work. But, the more I thought about this close call, the more I worried that my paranoia might be of substance. So I drove back to the location of this fallen limb to see if anything was suspicious ... saw marks, etc.

But, by the time I got back there, the limb had been removed by the DPW ... so, alas, I will never know if my paranoia was justified.

Angels and Devils


Robert Mueller is no angel and Donald Trump is no devil. This slow motion coup against our current president seems orchestrated by the Clinton crime family as compensation for Hillary's second screw-up. This coup is being led by the Special Counsel Robert Mueller who was appointed by the DOJ second in charge, Ron Rosenstein, after AG Jeff Sessions recused himself. The supposed subject of Mueller's investigation is Russian collusion with the Trump team in last year's election ... although this impetus seems to have been sidetracked.

Now, we find that there is an FBI informant who is trying to be heard about actual Russian collusion, corruption and money laundering surrounding America's strategic stockpile of uranium ... the necessary ingredient in Iran's and North Korea's nuclear weapons ... they both being in short supply of same. This FBI informant has not till now been heard of because Obama's first AG, Eric Holder threatened to fine and jail him if he did.

The information that he has to offer is slowly being leaked ... primarily about how 20% of U.S. uranium, in the form of the company Uranium One, is no under Russian control after a series of cute moves by the Obamaistas. It seems that there were a series of donations by Russian oligarchs to the Clinton Foundation totaling $145 million, plus at least a million dollars paid to Bill Clinton for two short speeches to Russian financial institutions. In return, the strategic-transfer advisory board, which passed on this sale of Uranium One to Russia, was headed  by Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. Who else was on this board you ask?

Why Eric Holder, Robert Mueller, Ron Rosenstein and a few others. It seems to this observer that this was the real Russian collusion ... and validates an old head-fake warning -- anytime the Democrats accuse the Republicans of something, the chances are that they are doing it themselves. Exactly who are the angels and devils in this political passion play?

For its first attempt to whitewash this potential scandal see: Washington Post Story.

 This story is not over ... not by a long shot. That is, unless this FBI informant is silenced by a long shot.

Neologisms


For some reason millennials are wont to make up two-word neologisms for previously common  concepts. Why our traditional words for these ideas are no longer operable is strange ...  perhaps our "snowflakes" have a pressing need to reinvent things? Here are a few of their new ways of expressing things ... along with the traditional words:

virtue signaling = sanctimonious

cultural appropriation = mimicry

safe space = sanctuary

fat (etc.) shaming = ridicule

white privilege = snobbery

false flag = imposter ... or a misdirection

gender fluid = asexual

cultural incompetence = savagery

L to S


It is difficult to believe that the simple change of an L to an S ... ISIL to ISIS ... has made such a dramatic difference in just 10 months. Now ISIS fighters who just last year, as ISIL, were cutting the heads off Christians ... now are befouling themselves when captured by the Kurds in Iraq. It is clear to me that Obama was merely going through the motions of trying to defeat that "JV team, ISIL" .... unwilling to bomb their oil-truck convoys that funded these murders ... or really carry the fight to these monsters. Our community organizer's years of pretending to "degrade ISIL" were a sham and it cost the American taxpayers billions and created a worldwide immigration crisis which, in turn, promulgated hundreds of terrorist attacks.

Now our new president has changed this enemy's name to ISIS and promised to DEFEAT them ... and is doing just that by unleashing his military and arming the Kurds. And this bit of simplicity is clearly working. I suspect it will take many years until historians recognize this truth ... that is, unless Ken Burns tells the tale.

I also suspect, nay predict, that the same scenerio may soon be taking place in Afghanistan as it becomes clear to the Taliban that its opposition is now serious about destroying them.

Three Faced


That truly deplorable harridan, Jane Fonda, was a hottie when she was young ... many think she still is. But she also was and still is a traitor ... a traitor who supported her country's enemy in time of war ... and has justifiably earned the animus of much of America, including this writer.

Back in 1972 while the US was at war she traveled to Hanoi, North Vietnam where she was pictured womaning an anti-aircraft gun ... smiling from ear to ear. She also said that American pilots held as POWs nearby were war criminals and should be put on trial and, presumably, executed ... see: The Lily Story.

After living under this cloud for 44 years, she finally seemed to rue this youthful indiscretion and, in particular this photo, saying "I was wrong. It was a huge, huge mistake." ... which also helped push her just-released book ... see: Hollywood Reporter Story and  Fox News Story

But now, after seeing herself on the Ken Burns documentary on this subject, and in a rethinking of her rethinking, Hanoi Jane now says, "I do not regret going to Vietnam" -- "I'm proud of it" ... see: Breitbart Story.

What a three-faced hottie hag!

Have you now figured out that I am not fonda Fonda?
