Once upon a time, not so long ago, what was commonly referred to as the political silly season would starting late spring/early summer of an election year. The politically ignorant brain-dead slackers that are the Democrat base do not, by and large, encumber themselves with rational thought or facing the reality of what their benefactors have done to the country.
Nowadays an election cycle begins nanoseconds after the last election. It is a perpetual reality. This, I believe, is driven by phony journalists who graduate from the Kennedy School of Journalism and feel they must “change the world” instead of simply reporting it. They do not put forth the effort to actually investigate anything, just ape whatever the New York Times tells them to write.
Lets be clear: the democrat party would not, could not exist without the complicity of a media that a few decades ago still feigned impartiality. They carry out the attacks for democrats so they can stay above the fray and dutifully ignore the myriad outrages committed by liberals with impunity. Fast and Furious, Benghazi, the scrubbing of Cankles’ subpoenaed hard drives, or Planned Parenthood selling baby parts as if they were at a swap meet. Their base is ignorant, lazy, and only interested in what’s in it for them.
Pity. The blissfully ignorant don’t see their party bigshots squirming as their chosen one ducks and dodges to avoid the consequences of the many felonies she’s committed. They also have a doddering old socialist promising everybody everything, paid for by a 90% tax rate.
On our side, there is a small army of contenders and pretenders all vying for a piece of the spotlight that The Donald is dominating right now. While I still maintain he will not be the nominee for a number of reasons, it’s fun watching him make talking heads explode. We have more than a year to see what happens. What the heck, I got nothing else to do.
Iowa is the state right next to mine. It is about 60 miles west of where I live. I’ve had occasion to visit it numerous times. I realized it was a pretty large tract of land. I never imagined it would be big enough to hold the massive egos of Killary and The Donald at the same time! They both visited the state fair on Saturday.
The Butcher of Benghazi spent 1 1/2 hours pretending to be a champion of “the little people” before she jetted off to Martha’s Vineyard to join Bent Penis and the current House Negroes. She eschewed the press shouting questions, preferring to spout her lies then walk away.
Americans don’t care about my emails – they never ask me about them, claims Clinton as she descends on the Iowa State Fair
‘We’ll see how this all plays out, but it’s not anything that people talk to me about around the country,’ she said
Clinton dropped into the Iowa State Fair for an hour and a half; she treated herself to a pork chop on a stick and a lemonade before leaving
She held a press conference and mingled with fair-goers as a barnyard worth of press chased her around
Clinton said she believes attendees of her events are interested in learning about what she would do to boost the economy, lower the cost of college and student debt, ensure workplace equality for women, as well as persons with disabilities ‘and so much more.’
‘And that’s what I talk about on the campaign trail,’ she said.
I HATE HAVING TO DO THIS CRAP!
SHE LOOKS LIKE THE SOULLESS MACHINE SHE IS…CHECK OUT THE STEPFORD EYES
I GOTTA GET AWAY FROM THESE HICKS.SEE YA LATER,BITCHES
Obama and the Clintons: Top Dems mingle on Martha’s Vineyard
I’M STILL THE MAN
Occasional golf partners, Obama and Clinton had crossed paths the day before as both played separately on another golf course on the Vineyard. Rounding out their foursome on the waterside course Saturday were former Ambassador Ron Kirk and civil rights figure Vernon Jordan. Both Clintons were on the guest list for Jordan’s 80th birthday party on Saturday night, along with the president, first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Sasha and Malia
Donald Trump breaks the rules at the Iowa State Fair
There are a few golden rules when it comes to campaigning in Iowa: never arrive by helicopter, leave your entourage at home and don’t skip the Des Moines Register soapbox, even if you have to brave hecklers.
But the normal rules of politics don’t apply to Donald Trump, who broke all of them during his visit to the Iowa State Fair on Saturday.
Trump made a grand entrance by touching down in a $7 million helicopter. He was thronged by supporters as he walked the fairgrounds and eschewed the soapbox — where Iowans are encouraged to shout questions to candidates — in favor of often random interactions with voters.
The day provided the latest illustration of how Trump, the GOP presidential frontrunner, is upending the race by ignoring conventional wisdom and running his campaign exactly how he wants to. The strategy stood in sharp contrast to Hillary Clinton, who lost the caucuses here in 2008 after she also broke some of this state’s cherished rules.
She took fewer risks on Saturday….
IT’S ALL JUST A BIG JOKE WHEN YOU KNOW NOTHING WILL HAPPEN TO YOU
YOU CAN’T SAY THE DONALD DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO ATTRACT ATTENTION
THE BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM IS TRUMP OWNS HIS STUFF. IT’S NOT COURTESY OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OR SOME FOREIGN TINPOT.
Bloomberg Politics’ Mark Halperin and ABC’s Martha Raddatz were invited along for the ride. When asked if the helicopter fanfare was a bit too much, Trump said, “It’s me, I am who I am.”
THIS POST HAS BEEN INFECTED WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF SELF-INDULGENCE AND BRAGGING ON FAMILY
There are few things in life that can match the look of unbridled joy in a child’s eyes; getting a gift he really wants for Christmas, riding a bicycle for the first time or catching a fish all by himself. Such was yesterday for me. I’m grateful God allowed me the chance to share such a happy time with my beloved grandson. When I went to pick him up early yesterday morning he was sitting on the porch, grinning from ear to ear. My BFF, Randy, had the boat hitched up and ready when we got to his house.it was the first time RJ had ever been in a boat, so I told him to do everything Randy told him to do.
Oftentimes a twelve year old can get restless, fidgety, start whining when the fishing is slow. RJ was a trooper, peppering us with non-stop chatter. Randy hooked the first catfish and asked RJ if he’d like to reel it in…..runaway choice for silly question of the day. After that we both let him bring the fish in while we manned the landing net. Truth be told, he DID hook, play out and reel one in all by himself.
The hours flew by and soon it was time to head back so I could get him home in time for him to make football practice. We stopped at the porta-pot before we left the boat landing and while he was doing his business Randy looked at me and grinned: ‘I think he’s hooked.’
‘Ya think?’
Randy mentioned we go out in the spring for pre-spawn crappies and he’s already making plans to invite himself along during his spring break next year. As soon as I got him to his house he proceeded to brag to his big sis that he caught five catfish and Grandpa Rick only caught one.
We’re going to watch his first game Saturday and I’m pretty sure his mom is getting tired of hearing about his prowess with a rod and reel. Yesterday was a memory he’ll be able to tell his children. I get to take that thought with me to my grave. Not too shabby.
I went out Wednesday and bought a digital camera.It was a good investment.
RJ FIGHTS A FISH WHILE RANDY READIES THE NET
THIS IS THE ONE HE CAUGHT ALL BY HIMSELF
THIS IS ONE I ACTUALLY HOOKED FOR HIM
THE DAYS CATCH…HE WATCHED RANDY FILLET THEM…HE WAS FASCINATED
First, a note…there will be no post tomorrow. I finally talked my BFF and fishing partner into taking tomorrow off. We haven’t been out more than a few times the past few years because of his work schedule and his wife and grown son like to go out in the boat as well. My beloved child bride and my family threw me a surprise birthday party (haven’t had one since I was twelve) and I promised RJ I’d get him out before school started. He said he’s never caught a catfish before, so we’re taking him on the river, where we know some good spots. Hopefully,we’ll have some luck. The reason I’m excited is I’ve never had an opportunity to do anything with just him. It’s always at a football or baseball game or a family function with a lot of people around.
My dad died when I was three and my granddad didn’t fish. I would sometimes wait all summer for one of mom’s boyfriends to take me carp fishing once. I never had a son and there are only so many opportunities to make memories while children are still young. Hopefully it will be a day he’ll remember as going fishing with grandpa. There is no price for that I would not pay.
OK… on with the dose.
There’s a lot of speculation about the Butcher’s e-mail servers containing top secret information and how she could wind up in jail. I have not taken a drink in more than 20 years, but I vow if it did happen, I’d get a bottle of Bacardi rum and proceed to get properly shitfaced. She’s the democrat nominee, so nothing will happen. It never does to the Clintons. An ordinary person (or a republican) would already be wearing an orange jumpsuit.
The Mau Mau picked up their guns, frozen water bottles and rocks and stormed Ferguson to “celebrate” the fact a thug tried to beat a policeman to death a year ago and ultimately assumed room temperature. The Soros-backed agitators were present, along with Son of Blacula who bragged about getting arrested. Funny, in my day getting arrested was not something to boast about, it was a bad thing. Granny always told me if I got arrested for anything and they give me a phone call don’t waste it calling her. And she meant it. These are different times we live in.

Photos=> St. Louis Post-Dispatch Reporter Stomped, Beaten, Robbed by #Ferguson Protesters
Jim Hoft Aug 10th, 2015 11:47 pm 38 Comments
Last night St. Louis Post-Dispatch reporter Paul Hampel was covering the anniversary protests in Ferguson, Missouri.
Paul was right in the mix of looting and violence when a group of protesters beat, stomped and robbed him.
He posted this right before the beating.
THERE’S A WHITE DUDE!
LETS F*CK HIM UP AND TAKE HIS SHIT!
Hampel said he was taking photos and videos of break-ins along West Florissant Avenue shortly before he was attacked. Suddenly, he said, he was rushed from behind.
“I got swarmed, beaten down really bad,” he said.
The attackers punched him in the face, hit him in the head at least three times and kicked him in the back of the head when he was on the ground, Hampel said.

Tensions grew as darkness set in on Monday evening in Ferguson with several confrontations between police in riot gear and demonstrators with at least 12 people arrested during protests on West Florissant Avenue
The St Louis County Police Department said that officers had been pelted with rocks and bottles
Late Monday afternoon, protesters had blocked traffic on Interstate 70 in Earth City, Missouri causing traffic to stop

Police charged 18-year-old Tyrone Harris who is in a critical condition after he was shot by police in Ferguson
St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said the man had fired on four undercover police with stolen handgun

Father Claims Son Arrested For Shooting At Police In #Ferguson Was ‘Unarmed’ Innocent, Facebook Tells A Different Story…
His grandmother and aunt say Tyrone Harris is a ‘good kid who would never fire shots at the police’.
Snip. Cut the fantasy…
Tyrone Harris’ Facebook (which has now been disabled) under the name ‘Ty Glocks’ of course reveals a different story. Virtually every picture of him in it had him waving a gun, throwing gang signs and referencing #PistolGang, ‘gang shyt’. He spoke of ‘hitting licks for a living’ which means that he robs to make money.
Activists: Man Who Shot At Cops Not To Blame, Police Shouldn’t Have Used ‘Plain Clothes Officers’
The activist group Organization of Black Struggle defended the actions of Tyrone Harris — the man who opened fire upon and was then shot by police officers in Ferguson, Mo. on Sunday night — by shifting the initial blame back upon the police department.
“It was a poor decision to use plain clothes officers in a protest setting,” Kayla Reid, a field organizer for the group, said on Monday. “It made it difficult for people to identify police officers, which is essential to the safety of community members.”
Ferguson Protesters Shut Down Highway 70 In Both Directions
This is on the interstate near Blanchette Bridge during rush hour. Needless to say, people were less than pleased.
Notice how it’s mostly ‘white allies’ that they through out on the highway.
BEHOLD HILLARY’S ARMY!
One car made it through, they accused it of ‘plowing though’ protesters, as you can see they draped themselves all over it and tried to take its license plate when it broke free.
#BlackLivesMatter Protester Interferes With Crime Scene Of Shooting, Gets Arrested
The Black Lives Matter protester, Search4Swag, was the man shooting video here. He started screaming for help for the man on the ground. The man on the ground allegedly fired on police, who fired back, striking him. The police secured him with handcuffs and called for ambulance, and that’s when this guy comes into the picture, trying to make a video claiming they are just leaving the man there to bleed out.
You can see the black officer tell him to step back and stop getting in the way of the crime scene. He is interfering with their investigation and their ability to make sure the scene is secure.
He was arrested but later released. Naturally, this is now evidence of the ‘evil police’. The suspect who was shot is in the hospital in critical condition.
Now that we’ve flushed the Trumparrhea from our systems, it’s time to move on.
FIRST, THE TYLER NEWS…. BEHOLD GOD’S LOVE AND MERCY EMBODIED
FROM HER FACEBOOK PAGE:
8 months ago, our lives were turned upside down by the evil that is childhood cancer. There were days where it seemed like the end would never come, & yet here were are. Today is Tyler’s last day of chemo, & tomorrow night, we will go home. There are so many emotions that come with the end of treatment. Elation that my boy will no longer have to endure the poison of chemo. Sadness to say goodbye to the other families we have connected with, & the amazing staff who have seen us through the darkest of days. Trepidation for the future. I have been lucky enough to become friends with some other moms who have been through this, & I know that our journey is far from over. Now, it will become about managing the unknown.Tyler will get updated scans every 3 months for the first 2 years. We will continue to monitor him for side effects from radiation & chemo, & watch for signs of a reoccurance. For now, I am just thankful to be able to get on with our new normal at home. I could never fully express just how much everyone’s love, prayers, & support have meant to us throughout this process. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.
This is why I call him my snuggle bug. He fell asleep while I was tucking him in.
ANYBODY WHO DOUBTS THE POWER OF PRAYER, SEND THEM TO ME, M’KAY?
OBIE FROM NAIROBI GOT A WARM WELCOMW FROM THE MILLIONS OF HIS ADORING FANS AS HE STARTS HIS EXTENDED SQUAT ON MARTHA’S VINEYARD
Well, that’s what the Donald fan club has taken to calling itself. Relax, there’s so much Trump stuff I’m doing two separate posts. As you can well imagine, Trump was all over the talking heads shows yesterday. They love him. They can make fun of him while he’s beating up on other republicans so they don’t need to do it.
I for one took issue with the verbal attacks launched by the Fox inquisitors. I always thought debates were questions posed to some or all of the participants, not singling out one candidate for examination. I wish Trump would have said: Megyn, I’ll be happy to come on your show to answer personal questions, but a debate should be an open forum. Of course, he didn’t, because he craves the attention.
It’s looking more and more to me that The Donald is a plant to create chaos and fully intends to go third party if he doesn’t get the nomination, which I don’t see happening. Hopefully he implodes and people see him for the charlatan he is. In an interview he made the comment ‘she had blood coming out of her eyes, she had blood coming out of wherever.’ Of course, people took that as a woman’s monthly cycle. He came back with: if you think that, you have a dirty mind, or something along those lines.
Hopefully the feeding frenzy will subside but given Trump’s reputation for showmanship I don’t see that happening.
Actually, in the Common Core spelling curriculum, this is correct.
Tech guy spent much of Friday trying to resolve the issues I was having. Hopefully he’s cleared them up for now.
I watched part of Thursday’s debate (flipped back and forth, the Cubs-Giants game was on, what can I say?) For the most part, it was well worth the price of admission. You saw the kind of serious questions of the candidates that you would never, ever see CNN or MSDNC deign to ask a democrat. Of course, everybody wanted to see what The Donald would say and they were not disappointed.
I am one of those who never trusted this huckster, and trust him even less now. He wouldn’t commit to not going third party and he responded to questions like Obie from Nairobi does… with petulance and nastiness. Megyn Kelly is a tough interviewer, but there was real animosity between her and Trump. It appeared to me that Fox planned to ambush him all along, some say at the behest of one Jeb Bush.
Carly Fiorina was clearly the winner of the ‘Happy Hour’ debate, which only family and friends of the candidates were allowed in. The next debate is a little over a month away. Whether she polls strong enough to sit at the big boys’ table remains to be seen. After the smoke cleared, it’s not clear if anybody changed hearts and minds. Phony Frankie Luntz had his focus group, of course, but I never paid any attention to that clown anyway.
I’m posting a whole bunch of videos for those without much of a life, like me, who drop by.
Germany had surrendered to the Allies in May, but the war in the Pacific raged on. Iwo Jima, Tarawa, Okinawa. The toll for taking those pieces of real estate was appalling. One cannot imagine what Harry S. Truman agonized over when he was given the alternative of using the atomic weapon we now possessed and kill hundreds of thousands in a matter of seconds or risk losing a million or more American lives fighting a fanatical enemy through an invasion of their homeland where self-sacrifice was a part of their culture. He gave the go-ahead. The die was cast. Hiroshima and Nagasaki became synonymous with total nuclear destruction. We have not had to unleash its power since. No country would think of challenging America’s strength. Through the weakness, treachery and sheer incompetence of our current commander-in-chief the future seems shaky.
