Saturday Stormwatch

It’s late morning here at the old bunkhouse. Everything is quiet. We went to WalMart early this morning to stock up on things before the first of several storms heading this way. This first will start late this afternoon and will continue until late into the night. After a brief period it will begin again and snow until late Monday. Best guesses by the local weatherdoofuses say from 8-12″, maybe more, usually not less. After driving a truck for 35 years, I’ve faced far, far worse conditions, but at my age it’s just a pain.

Trump transition team reviewing military rules of engagement

IT’S ABOUT TIME WE STOP ASKING OUR SOLDIERS TO FIGHT WITH ONE HAND BEHIND THEIR BACKS. WE SHOOT. THEY DIE. WE WIN.
Trump often blasted the rules of engagement during the campaign trail, arguing they were too favorable to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS).
“We’re sending leaflets down [saying] ‘in an hour we may be bombing your truck.’ Please remove yourself from — we are — we don’t know what we’re doing,” Trump told Fox News on April 13.

Mika Brzezinski: Clinton Campaign Tried To Get Me ‘Pulled Off Air’
Clinton Campaign Wanted Mika Pulled for Warning Against Thinking Race Was Over
“I’ll just say it: NBC got a call from the campaign. Like I had done something that was journalistically inappropriate or something, and needed to be pulled off the air.”

Michigan House Passes Stricter Voter ID
IT’S CALLED THE LAW OF UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES
Now, the Michigan House of Representative is taking steps to ensure that future elections are held fairly, and it’s not one Stein is gonna like: they passed a stricter voter ID law. Currently, voters in Michigan are required to show an ID or sign an affidavit before voting, but this new bill would mandate that a person who signed an affidavit also show a photo ID within 10 days of the election for their vote to be counted.

Betsy DeVos at Trump Michigan Rally: Time to ‘Finally Put an End to Federal Common Core’
THE BIGGEST OBJECTION TO HER NOMINATION WAS THAT SHE WAS FOR SCHOOL VOUCHERS AND AGAINST THE TEACHERS’ UNION, BUT SHE WAS AN ADVOCATE FOR COMMON CORE.
“In deference to the U.S. Senate confirmation, I’m not giving interviews, but just between us let me share this,” DeVos said to the crowd, speaking from prepared remarks. “It’s time to make education great again in this country.”

Progressive Caucus: Trump’s Cabinet is a ‘Collection of Stooges’
A SNIVELING GAGGLE OF NINNIES LIKE SHEILA JACKASS LEE, ROSA DELURID, KEITH MUSLIM, AND THE TOTALLY DERANGED JAN SCHAKOWSKY FROM THE 9TH PEOPLES’ DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS.
With only a few exceptions, the individuals that President-Elect Trump has appointed is the greatest collection of stooges and cronies and misfits we have ever seen in a presidential administration,” Huffman said.
“Some of these folks only qualifications for the job they are being appointed for is that they have attempted to dismantle and undermine and destroy the very agencies that they are now hoping to run.”

Hillary Clinton’s losing campaign cost a record $1.2B
The president-elect, who confounded critics during the campaign by saying there was no need to raise or spend $1 billion or more, ended up making do with $600 million.
Clinton’s expensive machine tore through $131.8 million in just the final weeks, finishing with about $839,000 on hand as of Nov. 28.
Team Trump spent $94.5 million in the home stretch — from Oct. 20 to Nov. 28 — and had $7.6 million left.

Brian Williams Criticizes Fake News After Losing NBC Job for Exaggerating Iraq Story

The MSNBC host then talked about how fake news had played a role in the 2016 election and that it continues to find a wide audience in spreading misinformation.
Williams did not mention his own history of exaggerating details of his own reporting. In February 2015, Williams was suspended as the anchor of NBC’s Nightly News and eventually removed from the position after it was discovered that he falsely claimed he was on a helicopter under enemy fire in Iraq in 2003, Stars and Stripes reported on Feb. 4, 2015.

Trump Tells The Silent Majority — ‘You Aren’t Forgotten Anymore’
The president-elect further stated to the crowd that his election win showed that the “forgotten men and women” turned up to the polls and were responsible for delivering a GOP victory.
After a dramatic pause, Trump told his supporters, “you’re not forgotten anymore,” which earned huge cheers from the crowd.

Black Lawyer Calls On Black Jurors To Vote ‘Innocent’ For Any Black Person Accused Of Murdering A White Person
Elie Mystal, an editor and contributor to the law blog Above The Law, posted a December 7 article urging all black Americans who end up on juries to engage in “jury nullification” by automatically voting to acquit all blacks accused of crimes, especially that of murder, against white victims and to do so no matter how much evidence is brought to bear against the suspect.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Sen.

Dictator-Sympathizing QB Colin Kaepernick Finishes Game With More Sacks Than Passing Yards
On a snowy, windy day at Chicago’s Soldier Field, the America-hating racist punk Colin Kaepernik had a real bad, no-good, totally icky day thanks to the Bears Defense, led by nose tackle Eddie Goldman,(6’4′ and 325#) and defensive end Akiem Hicks (6’7″ and 340#) who knocked him on his ass 5 times.
Big Labor threw tons of cash at Democrats, but workers voted red
Big Labor pumped $530 million of workers’ dues into mostly Democratic Party groups and liberal causes over a four-year period — with dismal results, according to a new analysis.
A total of $260.4 million went to 45 different party or Democratic leaning groups, including the Bill, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation, Democratic Attorneys General Association, the Working Families Party, the Center for American Progress and Planned Parenthood.
More than $21.5 million went to left-leaning civil rights groups including Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow PUSH Coalition, National Council of La Raza and the NAACP.

Pelosi: Dems don’t want ‘new direction’

House minority leader Nancy Pelosi downplayed problems with the Democratic Party, saying that the party’s values “unify us.”
“I don’t think that people want a new direction,” Pelosi said on CBS’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday. “Our values are supporting working families. What we want is a better connection of our message to working families.”

Trump Could Appoint Someone Totally Unexpected To Head EPA
Pick me… I’m available.
First, roll EPA standards back to 1990.
Open new areas for energy exploration,including ANWAR.
Cut off subsidies to solar and windmill businesses.Either they make it on their own or they don’t.
Approve the XL pipeline.
Do away with cafe standards, special fuel blends, and for Heaven’s sake, get rid of ethanol.

While media reports indicate the president-elect has narrowed the field down to two candidates, a new name is on the lips of some on Trump’s transition team: Dr. Donald van der Vaart.
Van der Vaart is a PhD chemical engineer who currently heads the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality. If appointed and approved by Congress, Van der Vaart would be the first PhD scientist to head EPA. He also holds a law degree.

Dick Cheney To CNN Reporter: Trump Took Us To Point Where We Don’t Need You Guys Anymore
Vice President Dick Cheney landed a major zinger on a CNN reporter this weekend. He was at an event with Obama’s former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. They were talking with CNN reporter Barbara Starr about national security and foreign policy.
Cheney had a few really funny lines but the one about the press was hysterical.
think one of the reasons people get so concerned about the tweets is it is sort of a way around the press. He doesn’t have to rely upon, uh, rely upon — this is the modern era, modern technology. He’s at the point where we don’t need you guys anymore.

Obama Jokes With The Eagles At Kennedy Center Honors Reception

Clinging to the tattered remains of his pathetic legacy, Ol’ Barry had to insert himself into the Kennedy Center Honors reception last night to hobknob with Al Pacino, James Taylor, and the surviving members of The Eagles, who sold more albums in the 20th century than anybody. The best of The Eagles (c’mon,you know you had it) went platinum 37 times over. Singer/drummer Don Henly, bassist Timothy B. Schmitt, and guitarist Joe Walsh attended last night. Fellow Detroit native Bob Seger paid tribute to the late Glenn Frey, who died suddenly earlier this year.

Obama: A True Democrat

democrat-play-book

From Hope ‘n Change:

In an unintentionally hilarious interview with Rolling Stone ragazine (spelling intentional), Barack Obama asserted that the reason Democrats got pulverized in the recent election is because “Fox News (is playing) in every bar and restaurant in big chunks of the country.”

2016_12-02-obama-fox-news-bars

While demonstrably not true, Hope n’ Change doesn’t doubt that the insufferable dimwit-in-chief actually believes his fantasy because it protects him from taking personal responsibility for an historic electoral trouncing.

In Barry’s mind, overstuffed white people would sit silent and transfixed at the local Cracker Barrel restaurant, sucking syrup out of their pancakes rather than chewing noisily, all the better to hear the Right Reverend Sean Hannity accuse Hillary Clinton of being a Martian.  Or perhaps he imagines eerily quiet Happy Hours during which patrons sat on bar stools in hypnotic trances while the gospel of hate was preached by Bret Baier, Britt Hume, and other bomb-throwing radical conservatives.

Barry did concede that the Democrat party had a problem with messenging and getting the word out to voters – but we have to disagree. We think their message came through loud and clear: that under Obama, what used to be a part-time job is now considered a career. That a stagnant economy which benefits only the rich and well-connected is the new norm. That laws are only for little people to obey.

We got the message that the Left considers ordinary Americans (also called “a basket of Deplorables”) to be racists, misogynists, xenophobes, homophobes, ignoramuses, gun nuts, religious fanatics, and potential terrorists.

hillary-deplorables-toon

We got the message that a boy who believes he’s a girl has more rights than all of the actual girls in a school shower. We got the message that inner city schools should never be improved, and that loans for uselessly self-indulgent college degrees need never be paid back.

We got the message that there is no gestational time limit on killing the unborn, up to and including the moment of birth. We got the message that illegal aliens have a “right” to jobs and benefits that legal citizens lack. And we got the message that as bad as things were under Obama, they were about to get a whole lot worse under Hillary.

And then we voted.

Which is why Barack Obama’s actual legacy may only turn out to be a few soon-forgotten interviews in yellowing issues of Rolling Stone.

Back to Business

Neutered Dems are all bark, no bite on Trump’s nominees
pants16And even the press at this point seems to be admitting that there’s not much drama to a story about the Democratic minority trying to stop Trump’s nominees.
15285054_1465998070081350_3457795709693296452_n“Dems to unload on Mnuchin,” said a headline in Politico. The story said Democratic questions will “make for some uncomfortable hearings and negative headlines,” but aside from that possible discomfort, the story said nothing about actually blocking the nominee.

WI Lawmaker: Dems Are Stalling, Recount Will Not Be Completed, State Will Be Forfeited
Duffy said Democrats and far left Green Party supporters are stalling the recount in Dane County Wisconsin, where Madison is located. The county is holding a hand recount. The recount will not be completed by the deadline on December 20th. Therefore, according to Rep. Duffy, the state will quite possibly be forced to forfeit their electoral votes.
This was the plan all along. Democrats knew they couldn’t make up 20,000 votes. But they also knew if they stalled on the recount the state could not certify the vote.
Wisconsin, won fairly by Donald Trump, will forfeit.

Democrats Must Dig Faster and Use Bigger Shovels
Things the Democratic elites should do in order to live up to their party principles.
Barack Obama was an affirmative action president. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Donna Brazile were affirmative action DNC chairs. Hillary was an affirmative action presidential nominee.
As a result, the Democratic party has lost the White House, Senate, House of Representatives, many governorships, state and local legislatures, as well as the ability to make Supreme Court appointments that will determine the direction of the Judiciary for a generation. The Democrat party today is the weakest it has been since the 1920s.
My only regret is that the Democrats hadn’t tested all of their half-baked ideas on their party first, before forcing them on the entire nation. Had they done that, their party would not have survived natural selection and today’s Republicans would have to compete with a lot more sensible group of people.

Trump’s Four-Pronged Plan to Jumpstart America’s Economy
Both parties have been shocked to the core by Trump’s election — so there is less chance Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi will wage major battles to stop most items on Trump’s economic agenda.
But they will complain. One likely item on the jobs agenda is Trump’s promise to cut the corporate tax rate. Corporations have been a favorite target of Democrats, but the political tactics didn’t work on Nov. 8. Most Americans in swing states just wanted more jobs and better wages.
Laffer says the corporate tax rate in the United States is the highest in the 35 member-nations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The United States recently overtook Japan with a top federal corporate rate of 35 percent — or 39.1 percent, if you include state taxes.
Trump would like to cut the top rate to 15 percent.

CNN Host Acts As Condescending As Possible To Trump Supporters In Focus Group
The “New Day” host was conducting a discussion with several longtime Donald Trump supporters and was skeptical when one woman claimed that 3 million illegal immigrants cast election ballots in California.
“Did you hear President Obama say that illegal people could vote?” she pressed. “Tell me, where?”
Another woman offered that you can “Google it and find it on Facebook,” which Camerota proceeded to do.

Joe Manchin may be Trump’s energy secretary
THERE IS A METHOD TO HIS MADNESS… BOTH COME FROM RED STATES WITH REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS, WHO WOULD APPOINT THEIR SUCCESSORS.
The senator from West Virginia would be the second Democrat that Trump is reportedly considering for a Cabinet post. The Trump team formally announced Thursday that Sen. Heidi Heitkamp from oil giant North Dakota, who opposes President Obama’s climate rules and supports the development of clean coal, will be visiting with Trump in New York on Friday.

Texas to Require That Aborted Babies Be Buried or Cremated
The new rules are part what the governor said are meant to “reflect our respect for the sanctity of life” and “turn the tides against the soulless abortion industry in Texas,” according to a fundraising email he sent in July, HuffPost reported.
The cost of cremation, which can be as high as $10,000, will be paid by the facilities that dispose of the aborted baby’s remains, the article noted.
The Texas Tribune reported that the new rules don’t apply to “miscarriages or abortions that occur at home.” Furthermore, birth or death certificates won’t be “required for ‘proper disposition’ under the rules.”
According to the Tribune, health officials said the rules will go into effect on Dec. 19.

Dems Think They Can Pressure Trump Into Keeping Overtime Regulation
I’M HOPING TRUMP WON’T PLAY BY THESE CLOWNS’ RULES.
The regulation, enacted by Obama and his labor secretary, requires most employers to pay overtime to salaried workers who earn less than $47,476 a year. It was supposed to go into full-effect on December 1st, but has been temporarily blocked by a Texas federal judge. Republican leadership on the Hill has already said the rule tops the list of Obama regulations on their chopping block list

World Mayors Gather To Plot Trump-Era Climate Plan
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR THEM TO REALIZE THAT TRUMP IS NOT THE SOCIALIST THAT OBAMA WAS AND WITHOUT AMERICA’S PARTICIPATION ALL THEY HAVE IS THE HOT AIR THEY CLAIM TO BE WORRIED ABOUT
As leaders of busy, polluted cities home to millions of people, they want countries to push on with adopting the so-called Paris Agreement to limit harmful emissions — an accord that Trump has cast doubt on.
“In the aftermath of this election there’s never been a more important time for those city leaders to stay on course — the whole world is counting on them,” said Clover Moore, mayor of Sydney, Australia.

Obama set to give ‘final’ counterterrorism speech to troops
Will describe success of his ‘no combat’ strategy
obamajpeg-04a87_s878x615SPEC OPS ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE KILLING MACHINES ON THE PLANET. IMAGINE WHAT THESE HARDASSES ARE THINKING AS THEY GET LECTURED BY THE WORLD’S #1 CANDYASS.
The White House said Mr. Obama will travel on Tuesday to MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida, the same military base where he declared in 2014 that U.S. troops deploying to Iraq as military advisers would have no combat role against Islamic State extremists.
“We will train and equip our partners. We will advise them and we will assist them,” Mr. Obama told troops at the time. “As your commander-in-chief, I will not commit you and the rest of our Armed Forces to fighting another ground war in Iraq.”

White House Announces Support For Requiring Women To Register For Draft
“As old barriers for military service are being removed, the administration supports — as a logical next step — women registering for the Selective Service,” Price said, using the formal name for the military draft.
HE HAS TWO CHANCES OF GETTING THIS: SLIM AND NONE. FAT ALREADY LEFT TOWN

Oh Boy: Some Electoral College Electors Form 527 Group To Prevent Trump From Becoming President
An upstart group of Electoral College voters have formed a political non-profit organization to fund a campaign to deny Donald Trump the presidency.
But while a campaign organizer says the movement has secured one anonymous Republican, it remains an unlikely, last-ditch effort for opponents of the president-elect.
The paperwork filed Tuesday with the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office creates a “527” group, which can raise unlimited donations from individuals, corporations and labor unions for political activities.

Professor: Islamophobia plays pivotal role in terrorism
ISLAMOPHOBE: SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE TRUTH ABOUT ISLAM

Crowley: The Party of Obama and Its Bitter Reckoning
Eight years ago, the Democratic Party gambled that a young, inexperienced but charismatic senator could deliver the presidency and with it, sustained national electoral success. They were half-right: they got the presidency but lost the country.
It turns out that President Obama’s promised “fundamental transformation of the nation” was not what it was cracked up to be — and it instead cracked up his party.
They have learned nothing from the Republican sweeps of 2010, 2014 and 2016 — because committed leftist ideologues can’t — won’t — adapt.

23 Days Until Christmas

This video has gone viral. If you haven’t seen it, you’ll enjoy it:

A Poem: Merry Trumpmas to Sore Losers (Especially the Media)


Your safe space is triggered, down came the Potemkin Blue Wall,
occupied by deplorables, who use words like “y’all.”
Your mood is down low, but way up is the Dow.
That’s right, even Nate Silver can’t save you now.

You chose Hollywood’s Rob Reiners over coal country’s miners.
What does your autopsy say about losing the Carolinas?
You exalted a twerker, belittled the worker,
then callused hands shut down Colbert and Stewart’s smirker.

And as is required, you hauled out the tired,
pretentious old rock stars, no longer admired.
But the smokescreen of Springsteen came with a cost,
for when votes were counted, even Bruce got bossed.

You indulged Wall Street’s Dillers and those BLM killers,
now reap a Rustbelt reckoning from millers and drillers.
Bubba went Davos, Chelsea turned out worse,
Hillary looks like she sleeps in a hearse.

You screamed KKK, and were so certain that Bey,
would smash the glass ceiling for pantsuited decay.
But as strategies go, that’s pretty gay.
Now Obama’sCare’s doomed. Hip-Hip hooray!

Even your media’s old bag of tricks,
thanks to us hicks, has met the River Styx.
That destructive swindle of demographic destiny,
has just Chappaquiddick’d the party of Ted Kennedy.

You’re Ben & Jerry, while I’m concealed carry,
say bye to that failed legacy from Barry.
The One broke his vow, my insurance he did take.
How’s this for a plan, go bake your own Goddamn cake.

Your butt it does ache, so you now scream of ‘holocaust,’
my heart it does sing, cuz Hill won more votes and still lost.
She bungled Benghazi, your rape-denying hasbeen,
‘scuse me while we go Make America Great Again.

To cancel out my ballot using an illegal voter,
no ID would be required in your New World Order.
And if we dare protest, you scream racist! with glee,
and now your despair makes me laugh until I pee.

Even though you were warned to never trust males made of beta,
how smug you were wielding The Upshot’s “pro-science” data.
You’ve lost and now you riot in your very own backyards.
Say, can you smell the irony of calling us Trumptards?

Lick your wounds by clicking on that Post which is still Huffing,
balm your sadz with the New York Times, forget they know nothing.
Do turn to Cherokee Warren to make your dreams come true,
cuz that’s the ticket back to power, one more old, white shrew.

Never forgive their treachery, the soulless media elite,
left-wingery masked as journalism, do relish their defeat.
These diseased supremacists, shrill peacocks no one elected,
their power to persuade went poof, truth exposed the infected.

The Washington Post dissolved into a red-baiting Truther,
NBC News pins its hopes on a rigged-election Boother.
Spawn your hate-crime hoaxes, your blacklists cloaked as “fake news,”
marinate in the failure of your polls and their skews.

You fact-checking grifters, we’re all just hating you back,
you impotent stooges, who only quack, flack, and hack.
You fascists, you crybullies, you speech-policing thugs,
how sweet to see the know-it-all slapped from your smug mugs.

As far as what powers this Mighty Trump Train,
now it’s time for me to throw you a Voxsplain.
Our fuel comes from the bitter tears that rain,
when your pompous privilege turns to luscious pain.

You’ve smeared me as an idiot since I can’t remember when,
and yet I’m not the “woke” dumbass who believed CNN.
But since the word “Christmas” gives your pinched faces twitches,
let me close by saying this: Merry Trumpmas, Bitchez.

DFU CHRISTMAS 2016 SING-ALONG: It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Flashback Video: When President Obama Mocked Trump For Vowing to Keep Carrier Jobs in the U.S.
‘He says he’s gonna bring all these jobs back…How exactly are you gonna negotiate that? What magic wand do have?’

At a town hall event hosted by PBS in June 2016, President Obama said it was unrealistic to try to neogtiate with companies to keep jobs in the U.S. Obama was responding to a question from an employee of Carrier Air Conditioners, who had announced months earlier that they were closing a factory in the U.S. and moving to Mexico. Six months later, President-elect Donald Trump announced a deal with Carrier’s parent company to keep the factory open:
15327509_1002995423180599_1061618694391788112_nPONDER THIS FOR A MINUTE
You’ve worked at Carrier for years…maybe decades.
You’ve been told your job is being moved to Mexico.
What will you do for Christmas?
Will you ever find another job except a part-time job someplace like McDonald’s or WalMart?
Then Donald Trump gets elected.
Maybe in the grand scheme of things, it won’t make much of an economic impact.
But when you look past the immense numbers involved in running a country you see the man or woman at the root of it.
For these people cynicism and despair was replaced by the renewed faith that someone cares about them.

This is the season we celebrate the birth of the only perfect man who ever lived. He cared about us. His is the Faith that never fails.

Begin Production

Back in the day, when I was a working stiff, one of the accounts I serviced had an R&D department. On one of the engineers’ desks was a sign that read: “There comes a time in the history of every project when it becomes necessary to shoot the engineers and begin production.”

There is at least a score of links I have bookmarked, so the time has come to begin production. There is no particular rhyme or reason for anything you find here, but you should be used to that by now.

Are there any adults left in the Democratic Party?
Since Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton, Democrats’ behavior has been sad to watch.
It’s fairly easy to laugh at this childishness, even from the famously petty president of the United States. But the left’s road trip to Crazytown took a darker turn when accusations that Russia hacked the election results to make Trump president were made by formerly “respectable” voices and given oxygen by the media and Democrats.

VA manager bans Christmas tree from office cubicle
va
TRUMP NEEDS TO GET RID OF THIS NEST OF VIPERS AT THE TOP OF THE VA AND APPOINT SOMEBODY WHO CARES ABOUT OUR VETERANS.
THE VERY FIRST THING HE SHOULD DO IS ISSUE AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT VETS CAN GO TO ANY HOSPITAL THEY CHOOSE FOR TREATMENT. ONE CASE OF A VET COMMITTING SUICIDE BECAUSE HE CAN’T GET MEDICAL HELP IS TOO MANY. AND I’VE SEEN MORE THAN ONE.
“There is a Christmas tree, ornaments, and decorations in the cubicle across from Luis Stevenson’s desk (the same cubicle where the scanner is housed),” wrote VA supervisor Rebecca Cellucci. “If this belongs to you, please claim it. Otherwise, it will be discarded on Friday.”
“Either management has a policy against any mention of Christmas or religion, or they are absolutely tone deaf, to talk about executing a Christmas tree a couple of weeks before Christmas,” the employee said.

Gingrich: Trump has no obligation to hold news conferences
TRUMP HAS THE AUTHORITY TO PULL THE CREDENTIALS OF VERMIN LIKE CNN, MSNBC, NYT, WaPO, AND ALL THE OTHER WHORES WHO WILL ATTACK HIM AT EVERY TURN. REPLACE THEM WITH NEW MEDIA, LIKE BREITBART.
“The news media so totally disgraced itself in this election, if I were Trump I would just say no,” Gingrich, a Trump adviser, said during an interview with USA Today’s Capital Download.
“And if the White House Correspondents’ Association doesn’t like it, I’d say, ‘Fine, disband.'”

GOOD ON HER. FOR FAR TOO LONG OUR SIDE HAS SWALLOWED RAW SEWAGE JUST TO SHOW THAT WE CAN BE POLITE. SCREW THAT. MESS WITH MY KIDS, YOU GOT TROUBLE… BIG TIME. WE HAD TO LISTEN TO THESE ASSCLOWNS FAWN OVER THE OBAMA KIDS FOR 8 YEARS. ENOUGH ALREADY.

Rosie O’Donnell Goes Public With 3-Year-Old Daughter’s Autism Diagnosis Amid Latest Trump Drama

It’s no secret that Rosie O’Donnell hates Donald Trump, but she insists that she wasn’t trolling the president-elect when she shared a YouTube video speculating that his 10-year-old son has autism. She has since gone public with her own daughter’s recent diagnosis with the developmental disorder and said that she reposted the clip because she found it “educational and informational.”

Sen. Chris Coons Regrets Making Appointments Simpler to Confirm

“I do regret that. Frankly I think many of us will regret that in this congress because it would have been a terrific speed bump, potential emergency break, to have in our system to slow down the confirmation of extreme nominees,” Coons said.
Coons continued saying that blocking President-Elect Trump’s appointments now came down to the will of the American people, arguing that the general public will find his nominees too extreme and sound the alarm with their senators.

Town Hall Cut Short After Charles Barkley Defends Police And Crowd LOSES It
Barkley asked why people didn’t mourn when four police officers were shot throughout the country in a 24-hour period. A black man stands accused of killing white San Antonio Detective Benjamin Marconi.
“Did anybody say, ‘Man, I feel bad for their family?’” Barkley reportedly asked the audience. He had stopped in Baltimore to film part of his new documentary, “The Race Card.”
“I don’t know you, I don’t like you,” Diane Butler declared. Butler’s son, Tyrone West, reportedly died after being restrained by police officers.

Ralph Peters: ‘Trudeau Has the Intellectual Heft of Cotton Candy’

CANADA’S “WHITE OBAMA” BROADCAST A VIDEO MESSAGE AT THE GRAY CUP (CANADA’S SUPER BOWL) AND HE WAS BOOED SO LOUDLY THAT NOBODY HEARD WHAT HE SAID.
Trudeau, a member of the Liberal Party, released a statement after Castro’s death calling the former Cuban president a “remarkable” and “larger than life” leader. His comments immediately drew criticism because of Castro’s human rights abuses and political oppression.

Byron York: Senate Democrats plan to ‘Ashcroft’ their good friend Jeff Sessions
WATCH WHAT THEY DO TO THIS GOOD, HONEST MAN
The Democrats — Patrick Leahy, Dianne Feinstein, Richard Durbin, Sheldon Whitehouse, Amy Klobuchar, Al Franken, Chris Coons and Richard Blumenthal — demanded that the committee hear from witnesses who will discuss Sessions’ views on “immigration; violence against women; civil rights; including LGBT protections; racial justice, and hate crimes; workers’ rights; national security and civil liberties; voting rights; criminal justice; and government conflicts of interest, transparency, and oversight.”

WOW! MSNBC Host Calls Out Elizabeth Warren AS “SHRILL,” “UNHINGED”
ELIZABETH WARREN: Republicans are taking over Congress, they are taking over the White House, but Republicans do not have majority support in this country. The majority of voters supported Democratic Senate candidates over Republican ones, and the majority supported a Democratic presidential candidate over a Republican one. The American people didn’t give Democrats majority support so we can come back to Washington and play dead. They didn’t send us here to whimper, whine, or grovel.

Black Congressmen Refuse To Condemn Ellison’s Past Proposal For A ‘Black State’
Under the name Keith E. Hakim, Ellison wrote: “Finally, blacks would have the option of choosing their own land base or remaining in the United States. Since black people toiled most diligently in the southeastern section of the United States, this land, quite naturally, would be most suitable. That means Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. Blacks, of course, would not be compelled to move to the black state, and, of course, peaceful whites would not be compelled to move away.”

California regulates cow farts
CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATS ARE PERSECUTING HOLSTEINS FOR NORMAL BODILY FUNCTIONS
Despite strong opposition from farmers, Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation in September that for the first time regulates heat-trapping gases from livestock operations and landfills.
Dairy farmers say the new regulations will drive up costs when they’re already struggling with five years of drought, low milk prices and rising labor costs. They’re also concerned about a newly signed law that will boost overtime pay for farmworkers.
But the biggest target is dairy manure, which accounts for about a quarter of the state’s methane emissions.
State regulators want more farmers to reduce emissions with methane digesters, which capture methane from manure in large storage tanks and convert the gas into electricity.
New Hope Dairy, which has 1,500 cows in Sacramento County, installed a $4 million methane digester in 2013, thanks to state grants and a partnership with California Biogas LLC, which operates the system to generate renewable power for the Sacramento Municipal Utility District.

Man Shows Gratitude for 400 U.S. Troops at Airport by Buying Them All Dinner
THIS DOES MY HEART GOOD
While waiting in an airport in Ireland, an LA business man made an observation you really could not miss!
As 400 American troops were about to dig in to their paper sack meals as they wait in an airport, Shalomo Rechnitz noticed all these people eating in the high end restaurants and these soldiers doing what soldiers usually have to do, what they can to get by.
Well he wasn’t having it. He went to their superior officer and said he would like to buy a hot meal for every single one of them, up to $50! That is $20,000 on making sure these fine Americans have something warm in their bellies.
DONALD TRUMP WOULD DO THAT.

5:00 AM and Chrissy’s already been working it.
Just some stuff I threw together.
Fidel Assumes Room Temperature

IF HE HAS A SOUL, IT’S ROASTING IN HELL
‘The old man is dead’: Fidel Castro’s death sparks celebrations on streets of Miami
In Miami, where the largest diaspora of Cuban exiles live, news of his death was greeted with celebrations, street parties, and flag waving. Those taking to the streets banged pots and pans and chanted “Cuba Libre!” (Cuba is Free) and “el viejo murió” (the old man is dead).

WashPost: Michelle Obama’s Departure Ends ‘Singular Era for American Fashion’

The piece by Robin Givhan contrasts with the writer’s bashing of the looks of conservative women such as Carly Fiorina, who she mocked as a “style bully.”
Regarding Mrs. Obama, Givhan fawned, “She helped young people see that fashion is more than catwalk extravaganzas and ‘Project Runway.’”

Jill Stein Raises $5 Million…And Says She Can’t “Guarantee” A Recount
HER ENTIRE CAMPAIGN SHE RAISED $3.1M. NOW WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE SHE RAISED $5M? THIS IS THE CLINTONISTAS IN A BLATANT ATTEMPT AT STEALING AN ELECTION.
We cannot guarantee a recount will happen in any of these states we are targeting. We can only pledge we will demand recounts in those states.
If we raise more than what’s needed, the surplus will also go toward election integrity efforts and to promote voting system reform.

Obama Plans to Rule America Outside the White House
…and he might get away with it.
President Obama is over. He knows that. There are still some things that he can do before he leaves office, but everything except the most destructive, can be undone by his successor. The next phase of his campaign will not be fought from the White House. It will be fought against the White House.
The other Obama is emerging in conference calls with his supporters. “One of the challenges that I’ve discovered being president is I’d like to be organizer-in-chief, but it’s hard,” he said in one call.
Obama can no longer be commander-in-chief. Instead he’s plotting to become organizer-in-chief.

Lands activists urge Trump to revoke Obama’s national monuments

park_s878x659But Obama administration critics say now is the time to try to establish a precedent. They say Mr. Obama has wildly abused presidential power in using the 1906 Antiquities Act to cordon off huge swaths of land and sea — mostly along the West and East coasts — to prevent energy exploration. In total, he has earmarked at least 553 million acres of land and water as national monuments, far more than any other president.
National monument markings prohibit oil and gas drilling and coal mining, meaning Mr. Obama has used his monument authority to effectively shut down huge areas of potential energy exploration and has drawn praise from environmental activists in the process.

Sarah Palin: ‘Grateful to See the Church Step Up’ for Donald Trump Because ‘Eight Years Ago, I Felt They Didn’t’
“No doubt, divine providence played a huge role in this election,” she replied. “I will boldly proclaim that. I saw it first-hand. I was there on the campaign trail. I saw how things were changing. I saw more and more people’s eyes open, and I think so much of that was based on the church in general, those people of faith who were praying to God that people would wake up.”

Obama urged Clinton to concede on Election Night
The source said the final numbers were so close that Clinton might not have placed her call to Trump without a push.
“If anybody knew what actually happened that night, no one would have conceded,” the source said.
But after Obama interceded, Clinton ended any debate.
“Just give me the phone,” she reportedly said in frustration. “I’m calling him.”

America’s Students Are Morons Who Can’t Distinguish Real News From ‘Fake News’
“The researchers asked participating high school students to look at an Imgur.com photo of some mutant-looking daisies with the caption “this is what happens when flowers get nuclear birth defects.” Almost 40 percent of the high schoolers decided that the photo was powerful evidence of nuclear radiation near Japan’s Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant in spite of the fact that the photo actually contained zero evidence suggesting that the daisies were anywhere near the nuclear plant.

Tensions rise at CNN as the network aims for Trump
“CNN has always pledged to hold Trump accountable and that’s what we should be doing,” another source told the Examiner. “Since the election, CNN has out MSNBCed MSNBC,” the source said, referring to the liberal slant at CNN’s competitor. “In the long term, that’s a dangerous place to be.”

Fake News Sites

I thought all the brouhaha was a liberal attempt to smear non-MSM news, but it seems fake news sites are very real … and very lucrative.  So let’s all be careful what we post here.  If I goof, shoot me a slap on the wrist and I’ll fix whatever it is.  Promise!

This is via Life News:

Have you heard the shocking news? President Obama has signed an executive order mandating a full recount of all votes cast in the election. He’s also ordered a “special election” to be held on Dec. 19. Donald Trump is furious, and denounced Obama’s decision as proof that “the system was rigged all along.” “President Obama doesn’t care about what the American people want,” he said, according to abcnews.com.co.

None of that’s true, of course. Abcnews.com.co is a “news” site in the same way that a bowl of glass shards is a balanced meal. It’s but one example of the rapidly metastasizing stage 4 cancer of the Internet – fake news sites – which are flooding our social media feeds with misinformation, often designed to dupe even the well-informed into clicking “share” by confirming as authentic the most extreme versions of our personal prejudices.

The above-mentioned example, and all the quotations in it, are 100% fabricated. But for site owner and professional Internet troll Paul Horner, none of that matters. All that matters to him is that the fake news article has been “liked” and “shared” on Facebook a staggering 251,000+ times, likely generating millions of pageviews for his site, and putting thousands of dollars in advertising revenue in his pocket.

If the Buzzfeeds, Washington Posts, and New York Times of the world spent half the energy they’re now expending on preening themselves on how “real” and “legitimate” they are on brutally honest post-Clinton self-analsyis, they might be surprised to discover to what degree they are responsible for generating the climate in which fake news flourishes.
