Good morning, boys and girls.  Let’s play a game.  I’m going to submit a list of 14 “shithole” cities followed by a date.  Let’s see if you can guess the significance of said dates, keeping in mind that these cities represent the worst this country has to offer.  These are all cities rife with police corruption and political malfeasance, out of control drug use, vagrancy, and sky high crime rates; many have fallen into bankruptcy.  Sanctuary cities all.  Let’s have a go!!

  1.  Detroit  1962
  2.  Los Angeles  1961
  3.  San Francisco  1964
  4.  Chicago  1931
  5.  Philadelphia  1952
  6.  Baltimore  1967
  7.  Newark  1953
  8.  Houston  1982
  9.  Seattle  1969
  10.  New Orleans  1872
  11.  St. Louis  1949
  12.  Oakland  1977
  13.  Washington D.C.  1961
  14.  New York City  2001

Give up yet?  These dates represent the last time the respective cities had anything other than Democratic mayors.  Of the 14, eight have never seen a Republican mayor in my lifetime, and I’m 55 years old.

New York City looks like the outlier here, with Republican Rudy Giuliani having helmed the dump in 2001, but fear not:  Giuliani was an aberration.  You have to go back to 1971 to find a Republican prior to Rudy, and indeed, Gotham City has only produced four Republican mayors in the last 103 years.

Bonus points to Los Angeles, which has reported several cases of bubonic plague (yes, that bubonic plague), and many cases of typhus, due to rampant rat infestation, unchecked immigration, garbage everywhere, and “homeless” who like to shit in the streets.  Eric Garcetti, Nancy Pelosi, and Gavin Newsom have a solution:  bring in more unvetted illegals from Mexico, the country that features 12 of the 50 cities with the highest homicide rates in the world.  Central and South American cities as a whole account for 41 of the aforementioned 50 cities with highest homicide rates, but FaceTuck Nancy and soy boys Eric and Gavin will tell you that the caravans making their way north are full of Rhodes Scholars and budding young engineers just waiting for a shot at the American Dream.

All the Democrats need, they say, is to be rid of those pesky, racist Republicans, and, of course, more of your taxpayer dollars!!  LOL!!  You just can’t fix stupid!

Facts Out the Window When it Comes to Assaulting Trump

June 7, 2016

 

 

So here we are again—the entire corrupt and in-the-tank media, abetted by the lifelong feeding at the trough political establishment, is taking Donald Trump’s truths and using political correctness to try and portray them as falsehoods.

Trump is in hot water again for telling the truth, and we all know such a thing is no longer tolerated in a country besotted with political correctness, safe spaces, open borders, and fawning over illegals and other sundry thugs that would shout down anyone who disagrees with them.  The issue this time is Trump’s insistence that he cannot get a fair trial in his Trump University lawsuit because the sitting judge, Gonzalo Curiel, is of Mexican heritage.  All the America-haters, which include the current scum running our government in both parties, from the Paul Ryans to the Mitch McConnells to the Nancy Pelosis—concerned only with maintaining the status quo whereby they can loot and steal from the hard-working people—have denounced Trump as…wait for it…a RACIST!!!

Aside from the utterly unoriginal accusation—anyone to the right of Che Guevara is now denounced as racist—the charges are utterly baseless.

Let’s look at the facts:

1)  Curiel was born to Mexican parents

2)  He is a member of the La Raza Lawyers of San Diego which is a subset of the   La Raza Lawyers of California

3)  The La Raza group is and has been for years strongly engaged in the support of, and amnesty for, illegal Mexicans living in the USA

4)  Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd, the law firm representing the plaintiffs in the class-action suit, has given Crooked Hillary and her rapist husband $675,000 in speaking fees since 2009

5)  Donald Trump has made illegal immigration his top priority as the Republican nominee, and has vowed to build a wall to stem the influx of illegal Mexicans.

So tell me why it is so improbable that Curiel might have some prejudice toward Trump and not be able to render an impartial and fair verdict.  One is always able to tell who the liar is by how much they have to twist the facts to suit their positions.  In this case, Trump has stated facts, and his foaming at the mouth opposition is in full spin mode trying to give Curiel a pass for his associations, which in and of themselves, could be deemed racist.

La Raza translates as “The Race,” and thus the name itself implies separation and the  desire of its members to disassociate from the very people whose country they have invaded.  All the Hillary acolytes and the ever-lying media are now busying themselves trying to say Curiel’s group has no link to the national La Raza movement, which is named the National Council of La Raza.  A few minutes of basic homework will easily dispel this lie.  If you go on the La Raza Lawyers webpage, you can find a link to the National Council of La Raza!!  But, of course, to hear the Trump haters tell it, there is no connection!  Additionally, the La Raza Lawyers website states, “The purpose and goal of this Association is to promote the interests of the Latino communities throughout the state and the professional interests of the membership.”

The group in recent years has, among other things, given scholarships to illegals, seen their former president co-chair Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign, and started riots at recent Trump rallies.  Imagine the hue and cry if a white judge were to belong to the White Lawyers of San Diego—there is no doubt the left would be screaming for blood and impugning the man’s ability to render a fair decision on any cases involving minorities.  Curiel’s heritage, by itself, has nothing at all to do with the current kerfuffle, but judges must maintain the appearance of impartiality, and belonging to a supremacist group that promotes one race over all others does not satisfy this mandate.

Are we not going to admit that this narrow interest of La Raza is in direct contravention of that which Trump is campaigning on?  Why then is it such a stretch that Trump would want Curiel to recuse himself from the case?  Why is it such a stretch that Curiel would make an unfavorable ruling for Trump based simply on personal feelings?

Indeed, let’s go back to the words of current Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor to understand the Us vs. Them mentality of most minorities.  “Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences,” Sotomayor said during a speech at UC Berkeley in 2001, “our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging.”  She further went on to say, “I wonder whether by ignoring our differences as women or men of color we do a disservice both to the law and society.”  Sounds like judicial activism to me, and if she is capable of it, why wouldn’t Curiel be?

If recent years have shown us anything, it’s that courts, all the way up to the highest in the land, are merely political figureheads now.  From the absurd rulings and total disregard for the written word in the Affordable Care Act decisions to the outright crafting of law concerning same-sex marriage, courts are not to be trusted any longer.  They are peopled by human beings, susceptible to all manner of prejudice and bribery.

This is not to say that Curiel is dishonest or would make a prejudicial ruling, but to call Trump a racist for bringing the issue up is nothing more than political chicanery and deflection at its finest.

Election Day Provides Forum for Americans to Display Their Stupidity…Again!

November 3, 2010

 

 

 

I should have known better. I really should have known better. I went to the polls yesterday buoyed by the thought that this might really be the day. Fed up with the entire political process, I had not voted in 26 years, my own form of protest to a rigged game orchestrated by a handful of insiders. But this election, I was convinced, would be different. Inspired by the Tea Party movement, the rallies in Washington, and widespread anger at town hall meetings across the country, I registered to vote and actually believed that this election would be the turning point. I thought this would be the moment where the American people would finally have the balls to pull a third-party lever and sweep out the entrenched life-long politicians who have run this county into the ground.

 

Alas, as is so often the case, I came away disappointed. Nothing has changed; the American people are as stupid as ever. We are, after all, talking about a country that made Friends and Cheers the most watched television shows for years on end, a country that actually pays money to go see Justin Bieber, a country that worships rapists like Kobe Bryant, and wife-beaters like Charlie Sheen and O.J., a country that goes along when “well-meaning” politicians ban cigarettes and trans fats.

 

Knowing all that, I suppose I should have suppressed my pie-in-the-sky dreams, and sat this one out as well, because in the end, my vote didn’t matter. I refused to tally a vote for a single Democrat or Republican, instead confining my research to, and voting for, the best candidate among the Independents, Libertarians, and other various contenders.

 

But I was a cry in the wilderness. In my state of California, with two races too close to call, EVERY SINGLE incumbent in the House was re-elected. 49-0…simply staggering.   This tally includes Maxine Waters, a life-long leech of the system who is now under investigation for ethics violations; Nancy Pelosi…enough said; Barbara Boxer, a career politician who has been at the helm for much of the state’s slide into bankruptcy. But it gets better…the tree-huggers of this wonderful state also put Jerry Brown back into the governor’s mansion…the same Jerry Brown who started draining state coffers as governor years ago by doling out untenable pensions to anyone who could fog a mirror. His track record of abysmal failure is astonishing, but he’s good enough for California. So much for the peasant uprising.

 

It was this way all across the country. In New York, of the 27 House races decided, 23 were won by incumbents. Charles Rangel, perhaps the most corrupt man in Congress, won with 80% of the vote. Both the state’s incumbent Senators won handily.

 

Other luminaries being sent back for more pork are the illustrious Harry Reid, the vile John McCain, and our favorite–the bloated, lisping pig from Massachusetts by the name of Barney Frank, who has run male prostitute rings out of his home, but who, more importantly, almost single-handedly caused the housing crash with his nefarious machinations at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

 

Two years ago, a fed-up American populace gave Republicans the heave-ho, but somehow they’ve become the saviors again, and in two more years, the cycle will repeat itself when the people realize the Republicans are still…well, Republicans. Nice work, America, now move along, Jersey Shore is about to come on.

Charles Being Charles

October 29, 2008

 

So Charles Barkley is at it again. His mouth flows like the river Nile, but people keep giving him a platform, and for some reason he never seems to get called out for his ridiculous pronouncements because…..it’s CHARLES BEING CHARLES!!!!!

 

Just as a certain Dodgers’ outfielder has all his sociopathic peccadillos dismissed as “Manny being Manny,” Barkley is the Teflon Don of loudmouthed ex-jocks. Several years ago he blurts, “That’s why I hate white people,” and that’s just “CHARLES BEING CHARLES.” He spits on a fan and it’s “CHARLES BEING CHARLES.” He throws someone through a plate-glass window and it’s “CHARLES BEING CHARLES.” John Rocker wishes he had it so good.

 

Well, maybe “Charles being Charles” is code for “Charles being a friggin’ idiot.” Barkley knows all about code words…or so he says. In a recent interview with CNN’s Campbell Brown, Sir Charles opined that the Republican Party uses code words like welfare, terrorist, and Muslim to disguise their racist views. He also added, “The only way they can win this election is to make it about race. That’s the only way they can win it.”

 

Never mind that the McCain camp has not once mentioned race in the campaign, and has even eschewed what would surely be a winning tactic…establishing the Messiah’s blatant racism by being all- Reverend Wright, all the time. And never mind that Muslim terrorists took down the World Trade Center seven years ago. Charles wants to wrap them in a loving embrace.

 

The thing is this—Barkley is just another left-leaning Democratic hypocrite. It wasn’t too long ago that Barkley considered himself conservative (probably since he’s rich enough to cavalierly dismiss million dollar gambling losses), but put a black man into the race and the self-anointed master of race relations switches sides. Who’s the racist now?? Come to think of it, he has put on enough weight over the years to look smashing alongside fat cats Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barney Frank, and the other millionaire Democrats who are so concerned with the plight of the common man.

 

Charles claims he shudders whenever he hears the word “conservative,” as if it’s only the Republican Party doing the raping and pillaging in our government. But he doesn’t mention the video that surfaced today of Dianne Wilkerson, a black Democrat stuffing bribe money in her bra, or William Jefferson, the black Democrat from Louisiana, currently facing trial on racketeering and bribery charges after FBI officials found $90,000 stuffed in his freezer. And he doesn’t mention the battleground state of Michigan where Democratic governor Jennifer Granholm and Kwame Kilpatrick, Detroit’s black Democrat mayor have run that state into the ground. Kilpatrick will have lots of time to ponder how to get Detroit back on track while he sits in jail for essentially partying too much on the public dime.

 

Now lest you think I have it in for Democrats or want to stifle free speech, let me assure you nothing could be further from the truth. I detest Republicans (or anyone holding public office), and I believe short of yelling “fire” in a crowded theater, anyone should be able to say whatever moves them. It’s the double-standard I object to. The Golf Channel’s Kelly Tilghman makes a 100% innocuous remark about Tiger Woods and she’s thrown under the bus and suspended; John McCain innocently refers to Barack as “that one” during a debate and he’s branded a racist, but Charles prattles on and on with impunity. I wonder if he’ll be asked to apologize for his most recent gaffe when he lampooned Isaiah Thomas’ recent drug overdose by inferring the Knicks would be better this year since their new coach probably won’t try to commit suicide.

 

Probably not, since the liberal media genuflects (on their knees and with their mouths open, no doubt) at the altar of “Sir Charles” simply because he’s a “good sound bite.”

I have no problem with Charles speaking his mind…I’ll even admit I admire him for saying what no one else will…but Sir Charles, please let others speak their minds as well without you and your ilk screaming racism at every turn.
