SPLC: Indicted!

Happy Schadenfreude Wednesday, everyone!

SPLC was funding its own opposition? Not surprising. There was a certain someone long supportive of Democrat causes who happened to be instrumental in organizing Unite The Right! Remember? 

There is so much to despise about the SPLC! Which is worse? Their vicious truth-be-damned character assassination or barely-concealed grifting? I say the character assassination is worse because it led to the literal assassination of Charlie Kirk. Who cares if George Clooney or Tim Cook or corporate big shots get duped? The victims have money to burn, and it is human nature to lash out at those who expose the flim flam instead of those who promote the fraud. Don't expect any high fives from the fleeced.

Oh, let's take a moment and celebrate this day! Yes, the suck factor is still at 9, but who cares? Today, the SPLC is being brought to justice. Let us all embrace the schadenfreude!

The Supreme Court Got It Right, Tariffs Are A Tax And It Is Okay To Disagree With Your President You Obsequious Jerk!

1. Tariffs are selective sales taxes. The Peter Navarros who call tariffs "tax breaks" are outorwelling Orwell.

2. Only Congress can levy taxes per the Constitution. This should have been 9-0.

3. Trump's tariff by whim is reckless and irresponsible.

4. Mexico and Canada--especially Canada--do not deserve to be punished for trading with US consumers.

5. I dreaded the day when the neopopulists would root for proper nouns over principles. I am sickened by the fanboys who support anything Trump promotes. Tariffs are good not because we have evaluated the pros and cons of these selective taxes in detail but good because Trump installed them. Ugh.

6. Yo puppy dog, put down the Kool-Aid. It's okay to disagree with your president. 

What Is the Difference Between a Wife and an AI Assistant?

Rest In Peace, Larry Sinclair

I am sad that Larry Sinclair has passed away. He is the most underrated historical figure of our era. Had Joe Biden not used his uber-corrupt influence to disappear Sinclair in 2008, America might not have coronated her first crackhead president. And if there had been no Sinclair, Scranton Joe would not have wormed his way onto the ticket and we would never have had the disaster that was the Biden presidency.

My first Kindle selction would be Larry Sinclair's only book. I hope to reread it and reprint the living hell Sinclair was subjected to for sharing his revellations. Rest in peace, Larry. You left us plenty to talk about. (And talk we will).

Homicide On The High Seas

It was a nice honeymoon. I was no fan of the tariffs, especially those placed on Mexico and Canada but it was Christmas morning almost every day. Then we have homicide on the high seas. 

You can call it what you like but it is wanton murder. Trump bounded the legal hurdles by designating bad people terrorists. It's still homicide no matter what else we call it.

Does anyone know the identities of the eleven victms? No, but we are told that they are terrorists. If we don't know their identities, then how can we know they are terrorists? And how can we be certain that they were transporting drugs on the high seas? The word of a deeep state thug? If there was any evidence of drug transport, it was destroyed with the act of homicide. Who cares? Shut up and wave the MAGA pennant!

We were warned that the "enemy combatant" thing was a slippery slope. We didn't care. Now it seems a president can murder anyone he deems a terroist no matter how flimsy the evidence. But if the homicide plays well at Gallup, I guess we can expect more widows and orphans.

Homicide does not set well with me. I am funny that way. Can't wait for another Trump fanboy to cheer on the murder and then proclaim his Christian faith in the nest breath. 

I have long been critical of the brain dead Dems for their blind loyalty. From years of open espionage to blatant influence peddling to broad spectrum lawfare to martial law wrapped in a health care package, to the mandating of a highly toxic vaccine, there is never a jump-off point for the cow-brained Dems. They just keep on guzzling the Kool-Aid. Now I have to ask myself if I have a MAGA jump-off point.

And oh, by the way, will Venezuela be the next Iraq? It sure feels that way. Then again, it could be Mexico. Or any other Hemisphere neighbor who meets with the murderer-in-chief's disapproval. Wasn't MAGA about rejecting America's role as the world's police force? Another long, long war?

Honeymoons end.

In Defense of James Comey, The King Of Scumbags

James Comey is a rotten human being and perhaps the best poster child for dirty cop disease, but I am of the strong opinion that he should be given a pass on the "86 47" post.

Had he posted "187 47," I might have seen this differently. "187" is a specific code for homicide used by many police agencies.  I know of no other common use for this number.

"86" is a more flexible number. Its origin is imprecise, but it is at least a century old and probably stems from the hospitality industry. Anyone who has worked in a restaurant is familiar with the term. "Eighty-six shrimp cocktails" means the house has run out of boiled shrimp. Usually, "86" refers to something already depleted, but yes, it can be used to suggest that an item be temporarily discontinued. The wilted lettuce might prompt a "should we eighty-six the garden salad?" query. Taverns and casinos have generalized the term to reference persona non grata customers. 

One can advocate for Donald Trump's removal without suborning homicide. Impeachment might be one such lawful maneuver. And one can legally make the case that Trump is a pariah, and could be expressed as "86 47". The numerical sequence might also reference a time after Trump departs from office in 2029. "86 47."  Comey did not specifically reference homicide. Thus, leave James Comey alone!

I don't mind defending scumbags, but Comey makes this a nauseating task. I would much rather defend Diddy or Ghislaine, or Osama Bin Laden. Comey is just too too too fake suave. Look what James found while walking the beach in a moment of quiet reflection! The deep and earnest reflector reflected once more on his ponderous and reflective, and yes, reflective insights that he once more shared with humanity, however undeserving the naked apes might be. Thanks for the insightful reflections and reflective insights, you deep and ponderous and insightful and reflective giant piece of shit.

Donald Baby, Where You Been All My Life?

Finally! We now have a president who is willing to tackle financial malfeasance, lock horns with the political establishment, dismantle the bureaucratic state, fire corrupt and/or incompetent personnel, drain the damn swamp, and step on the toes of our ruling class. No, he has not brought about world peace just yet, but Week 4 of his presidency isn't over.

Trump is doing what we hoped Reagan would do. He is doing what we thought Gingrich would do. He is doing what we were certain George Bush and both houses of Congress might at least attempt to do. Forget those disappointments. Trump is doing it.

As an aggregate news site editor, I have trouble keeping up with Trump. Yes, it is easy to find worthy news stories but each "breaking news" item is displaced by another headline an hour later followed by another and another and another. Perhaps more important than anything else, perhaps more substantial than anything else, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps, Trump's greatest achievement is his breaking the news cycle and recreating it to his liking.

"Trump fires inspectors general." That might be the biggest story of another administration. The most substantial action spanning four years. For Trump, it was another day at the office. Not even a day. IG's equal old news, move on an hour later. 

It is happening! It is finally happening! Searches for "bleach bit" are up and so is my mood. NGO's are falling like dominos and so too is my despair. It will only get better when Trump gets all of his appointments in place. 

This isn't Utopia, this is something much better. Keep it coming, Donald. Keep it coming.
