A gunman, probably off his meds, but clearly off his rocker goes to a sleepy community college in Oregon and kills 9 people before sucking a bullet out of the barrel himself.  Within minutes, B. Hussein is on TV extolling us all on how barbaric we are as a nation for allowing it, how much better other “civilized nations” are than are we.

The annointed one even flew to Oregon to console the families of the lost souls despite most of them stating point-of-factly that they didn’t want him there; didn’t want the deaths of their loved ones politicized.  What they do not understand (the families) is that he does not care what they want.  He has a chance to bash a political opponent and he will not let it pass regardless of “the optics”.

Some of his remarks, and my comments:

“It is fair to say that anyone who does this has a sickness in their mind.”  This had to be a slip of the tongue.  Here, Barry is acquiescing that Mercer had mental issues.  This could be why he did what he did, not just that he loved guns, or was a Republican, or was glinging to his guns.  He “might” have been driven to do this from a mental deficiency or disorder.

“We do not have sufficient common sense laws”.  What does that mean?  So, the laws forbidding a felon from owning a gun…is that not a common sense law?  The laws already on the books that mandate a buyer to submit to a background check when buying a gun from a gun shop…those are not ommon sense laws?  Some states mandate a “waiting (cooling off) period”…those are not common sense laws?  Just the extra restrictions he wants to impose on gun show sales–the probably two percent of all gun sales–those restrictions–they are the only common sense laws.  Just the new restrictive laws he wants to foist o the law abiding–those are common sense.  Never mind that most criminals do not obtain their guns legally.  They can’t.  The laws already on the books ensure that.  They HAVE to steal them.  But to disagree with him is to embrace lunacy.

He has to ridicule to enhnce his point.  “More guns, fewer gun laws”–does anyone really believe that?  See, to disagree with what he wants is to mean that your belief is based on fallacy, lunacy, or is just plain wrong.  It can’t just be different or the opposite.  It has to be wrong.

“The polling says so…”  Governance by polling is always best, right?  Let’s not govern by laws precedence, or the Constitution.  Oh, no.  Let’s make laws based on which way the wind blows today.

“…including the majority of law-abiding gun owners…”  On what basis does he make this wild-assed assumption, that the majority of law-abiding gun owners agree with his assessment of what the nation needs?  Does that mean that the ones who disagreee with him are not law abiding?  We’ve already established that not agreeing with His Highness means that you are wrong.  Do we now assess them as being illegal too?  If that is the case, I happy to be a criminal.

“each time this happens, I am going to speak up.”  Except when it happens in Chicago, his accepted home town.  In 1992, Chicago suffered 943 murders against a populaiton of fewer than 3 million.  34 murders per 100,000 residents.  Even after following the “draconian” advice of the L.A. poice, in 2004, the rate of murders dropped to a “paltry” 15.65 per 100,000.  In 2005, 75% of murders in Chiago involved a firearm.  Illinois has some of the most strict gun laws in the nation.  76% of the victims were black.  88% of the offenders had a prior police record.  Yet they suffer one of the worst murder rates in the country.  And each time one happens, you wait to hear B. Hussein take to the pulpit and preach to the cattle.  But he doesn’t.

“This should be politicized.  It is relevant to the body politic.”  The body politic is a phrase whereby the nation is considered to be a corporate entity likened to a human body.  It considers all of the people in a particular country to of a singular group.  Yet, the recent demonization of Hillary Clinton and her email scandal–that is the Republicans playing politics.

His hypocracy would be laughable if we all weren’t choking on it.

So, I’m now convinced that the left simply cannot function without resorting to name calling or some other playground-based childish “sticks like glue” approach. The Vice President, Uncle Joe Gaffe called the GOP homophobes today. Look, douchebag, you already have the gay vote. You already have the Hispanic vote despite the amount of times Jeb Bush or Rubio go on the stump and speak their native tongue. Calling us homophobes is akin to assuming Jews are anti-Nazi.

See, Republicans still adhere and cling to some form of belief in a higher power. That power frowns on guys sucking other guys off, or girls carpet munching. You can’t prove that it is a natural behavior any more than I can prove it is learned behavior. An equal number of people think they are born gay as have been “converted” through the power of a faith-based religion.

But liberals are all progressive based; secular. Anything goes. If it feels good, do it. It’s all relative. Don’t judge me. I’m a victim. It’s somebody else’s fault cause I can’t possibly be responsible or wrong. If you don’t believe in a higher power, what else is there? The state? The gubmint? I don’t picture the state answering any prayers. But once you expand someone’s awareness beyond their own needs and existence, they begin to see that they have a purpose equal to others around them. The state and the left way of thinking wants for you to only think to the end of your own nose.

C’mon Joe, everyone wants you to enter the race. Quit being so coy saying you’re thinking about it. After all, the Comedian Stage Acting Guild has already given you their endorsement. They are absolutely positive you are going to provide an endless stream of gaffes and slips along with the occasional grope or inappropriate fondle of someone else’s wife. The Republicans especially want you to enter. What accomplishments can you point to? The only thing you have is the coattails you’ve been riding on these past 7 years. Even Donald Trump would stand a chance against you.

Planned Parenthood Investigators Discredited.

In a dramatic turn of events, media firms and agents sent forth from Planned Parenthood began to examine the background and past dealings with the founders of The Center for Medical Progress after a series of damning videos were released showing several highly placed executives of PP seemingly negotiating—haggling—over the price of the tissue and organs of aborted fetuses. In one video a shockingly grotesque example of a woman and potential mother jokes about the prices to be gathered as she wants a Lamborghini automobile.

One might think that seeing videos as craven and inhuman as this would galvanize Republican leaders and pave the way for a federal defunding of this barbaric organization of the over half billion dollars they take from taxpayers even though federal funding of abortions is illegal. If one thought that, one would be incorrect.

This week an attack on the motives and background of the founders of the videographers was launched. Of the findings that clearly discredit the videos is one of the elementary school grade in English Literature and Composition received by David Daleiden. He received a C overall in the class with several papers being graded as a D. (Most of the errors were in punctuation and subject verb agreement but we won’t let the facts get in the way of a juicy piece of gossip.)

The media pounced on this piece of historical irrelevance making the leap in judgment that since he could not properly graph a sentence when he was twelve, there is no point in giving him any journalistic bonafides now. One Democrat in the Senate was quoted as saying, “His papers in school were smudged by eraser marks to the point of being illegible. Erasers! Can you believe it? Why didn’t he use a computer?”

Former Speaker of the House and equally ghoulish appearing plastic-faced Nancy Pelosi echoed the remarks calling for an investigation into all of the officers of the CFMP. IRS Commissioner Koskinen leapt at the chance, warming up a newly installed encrypted server installed in the basement of the Clinton household basement to store all of the unethical messaging back and forth during this coordinated attack.

 

Public Bathroom Etiquette 101

Last week I went to a Rockies game at Coors Field against the Cincinnati Reds. Two equally incapable teams teeming with talent and zero qualitative management or coaching do battle on the four-bagged diamond in front of a yawning drunken crowd of about 20,000.

After a few beers, I needed to visit the used beer room. I went while the home team was up to bat. The bathroom was eerily vacant. Five empty stalls lined one wall. Ten urinals lined two walls, five a piece. I selected number five if counting from left to right, the right most pisser on the front wall. There are four empty urinals to my left, and all five on the wall to my right.

So there, I am, junk in my hand, halfway to a blissfully empty bladder when some jackass comes in and saddles up where? Directly to my left. There are EIGHT other urinals he should select. He picks the one absolutely closest to me. Without hesitation, I look over at him as he starts to unzip.

“Are you fucking lonely? Get away from me!”

He sidestepped to the one in the center of “our” wall. Incredible.

Bathroom etiquette states clearly that guys NEVER EVER take the urinal directly next to another guy already in the process of pissing. NEVER. If there are only two urinals, the second guy is obligated to go to a stall. If there are three urinals and the first guy selects the middle one, the second to arrive still goes to a stall, calling the guy pissing an asshole. He should have taken up residence in front of number one or number three. If he tells you that someone else was at number one or number three when he arrived, he should have taken the opposite end, not the middle. So, he is a violator of the etiquette himself, deserving of being called an asshole again.

Of course, he would never tell you these things. Because guys talking to other guys in the public restroom is also not allowed. Chances are better than 90% that you don’t know the guy. What in the world is there to talk about when you are both there exposed and flowing? Batting averages of the superstar shortstop? That can’t wait? Do you really care what he thinks about the shortstop? Think he cares what you think? The bathroom is not the Icebreaker Café where you are going to find new friends.

Oh, and never look another guy in the eyes in the public bathroom. You aren’t there to meet people.

Go in, do your business, wash your damn hands, and leave. Be considerate of others; don’t hog the entire wall of pissers. Last out buys the next round of beers. Civilization saved.

 

Shampoo. What a Concept.

At the same game, I sat behind a guy who clearly had an active case of scalp-based psoriasis. I mean, a winter storm of flakes on a hot July evening. Most of the evening I had my legs scrunched together off to one side or the other to keep my legs from accumulating record snowfall. It was all made worse by a couple other factors…

1. He wore a black tee shirt which only made the flakes stand out.
2. His wife kept reaching back and rubbing his neck and scalp causing a new flurry of dead skin to cascade downward.

I couldn’t use the cup holders on either side of the guy to hold my beer without accepting that I was going to be ingesting his dead skin. I couldn’t stop wondering to myself just what his pillowcase looked like.

Social Security Recipients Deemed Too Dangerous for Weapons Possession.

The B. Hussein Administration this week announced plans to tie weapons ownership restrictions to millions of those who are receiving Social Security. The federal law is designed to prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, and illegal immigrants. Digging deeper, the language of the law restricts gun ownership to people unable to manage their own affairs due to marked subnormal intelligence, mental illness, incompetency, condition, or disease. These descriptions apply to nearly 4.2 million Social Security recipients.

So, if you are forgetful you cannot own a gun or you cannot get Social Security. Forgetfulness is a condition. If you have cancer, you have to choose between Social Security and owning a gun. Cancer is a disease. If you take pain medications or other pills on a routine and habitual basis, you could be classified as an addict. You cannot own a gun.   If you are in independent living or have in-home care, you are the same as a felon. These people are not managing their own affairs. If you are depressed, you cannot have a gun. Depression is a mental disorder.

Meanwhile, the deranged children of otherwise sane and competent people are perfectly okay having access to weapons that are not properly secured and locked away.

Hussein knows he cannot get the Second Amendment changed. He isn’t THAT anointed. He’s tried banning certain types of ammunition and had to back off that. Each time he tries some form of restriction he causes prices to skyrocket and shelves at gun stores to empty. The rate of gun ownership has soared under his tenure—because people are afraid he is going to take away their Constitutional rights.

Now he has found another way to try to limit ownership. The man has no fewer than 50 guns around him anytime he is in the public domain. So he is okay with them protecting him. He just doesn’t want you to have them to protect yourself. Or maybe he is afraid you’ll turn yours on him.

 

Fifteen Dollar Minimum Wage Unintended Consequences Proven

Liberals cities across the United States are starting to see to true effect of an entitlement society. Workers in Seattle Washington, one of the first to adopt a mandatory minimum wage of $15 are seeing those workers ask their employers for fewer hours. They want to work less because the increased wage raises their income beyond the threshold allowed to keep receiving government assistance.

The $15 minimum wage is also currently a misnomer. Seattle has not mandated every worker be paid that much now. It is being forced incrementally. It has to be $11 an hour (in Seattle) by July 2015, going up a dollar or so per year each July until it hits $15 in July 2019. But wait! If the employer pays into a health care plan for the employee, then the rate of increase slows until 2021 when the $15 threshold must be met. So, Obamacare is actually slowing the rise of wage to these “slaves” who toil and tarry for the scraps from the economic table.

Now, examine, if you will, that according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics that only 1.6 million workers are being paid the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Another 2 million workers are paid below the federal minimum wage, mostly waiters/waitresses. These 3.6 million workers make up only 4.7% of all hourly paid workers. So this hubbub is all for less than 5% of the hourly workers. Again and again we see legislative action being taken against the masses in order to benefit a minority “victim class”.

Most of these minimum wage workers are young, still living with their parents, and still on their parent’s health care plan. So they are not having to pay for a mortgage or health care. If they are being taught well, they are at least paying rent. These workers are in a truly entry level job where they are doing mindless tedious service-related work. But they are also being taught important life lessons—work ethic, responsibility to be somewhere on time, and the value of money. The intent is for them to develop these skills and springboard to a career where they will earn what they would call a living wage.

Fast food work simply isn’t a career unless you broaden into management, and it never was meant to be. If you have no more ambition than to move baskets of French fries, you deserve to live in your parent’s basement for all eternity.  And we should sterilize you.

In all honesty, I was under the impression that Seattle was already at the $15 minimum. I started writing this because I was going to calculate that these leeches wanted to work less because their wages increased from $9.50 to $15 per. How wrong I was! That would have been a 47% increase in wages. No, they are now seeking to work less in order to keep “their” benefits because of a 14% increase. (In many states and municipalities, the elected elite have already moved to make the evil business owners pay their slaves more. In Washington State, that wage was $9.47 per hour.)

These are people who are content living in poverty because they do not have to work in order to get paid. YOU pay them to NOT work. Now, with the mandated increases in wages, the service providers simply raise their prices to cover the costs. You are still paying more for the same hamburger. It just may not be the same sloth cooking it since he is at his parent’s home playing Play Station instead of working.

 

United States Begins Forced Deportations—of Americans.

In a stunning twist of logic and legal thumb-nosery, they B. Hussein administration began issuing immediate deportation orders to its own citizens. White House spokesman Josh Earnest stood before a gape-mouthed pressroom as he ready allowed several names of those seated inside the room. He stated that their stance on immigration was “against the collective” and “detrimental to the common good” as he ticked off the list of mainly Daily Mail and Fox News, and News Max reporters.

With his usual smirk and semi-Dennis The Menace hair cowlick, he then began calling on more favored reporters. ICE agents blocked the exits to prevent the reporters from slipping out. Earnest furthered by saying the belongings of the reports and others being deported would be confiscated by the state and either sold at auction to pay for more benefits to aid illegals in their daily strife, or deeded over to those on the Presidential Favored List (PFL).

The list of those being deported included several business moguls and financial magnates. Their assets were also to be seized. Businesses they owned would remain open but be run by totally inexperienced ass-kissers of the administration until such time as they had to close from a financial loss stand point. The administration expected all of the undesirables to be out of the country before the 2016 election cycle.

Simultaneously, the administration announced sweeping executive actions allowing those here illegally to register for a lottery system that would award them the houses of those being deported. Transportation costs to other cities would be covered by a special fund sliced from the Defense budget in order that the illegal aliens could reside nearby other family members.

There was an initial public outcry but ole’ Barry stood patiently behind his scrolling teleprompters and told those complaining, “I don’t give a damn.”

RAGS Gets a New Member

General Raymond Odierno was inducted into RAGS today. The group is the Retired Army Generals (Shamed), so named as their price of admittance was to speak out against the policies and directives of the Anointed One. Odierno spoke to reporters stating the rise of ISIS could have been avoided had the US left a contingency force of Soldiers behind in Iraq instead of tucking tail and running away like the Knights of the Round Table in Monty Python’s Holy Grail.

It is the policy of the B. Hussein administration that global warming gave birth to ISIL, not the craven, nearly maniacal pace in which the US acted to end George Bush’s wars.

Odierno also damned his future by stating that the current plan to reduce the US Army ranks to 450,000 would result in us not being able to defend all of our current obligations. It is the policy now that we ignore such obvious warnings to our national security and once they blow up in our faces, we blame previous Republican administrations—especially the afore mentioned Bush.

Odierno joins other Generals like Stanley McCrystal, David Petraeus, and Paul Vallely all who rolled the dice on speaking publicly.

ISIS wins suit over United States in the US Supreme Court.

The Islamic State this week won a landmark legal battle against the United States following a guidance/directive that Soldiers not wear their uniforms while off duty or traveling off major military installations.

The guidance memo was circulated in the aftermath of the domestic terrorism killing of four US Marines and a Sailor in Chattanooga last week. The “lone gunman” as defined by B. Hussein Obama, the Protector-In-Chief of all things Muslim, attacked a military recruitment center and then a Reserve Installation before being righteously slaughtered by law enforcement.

The military personnel were unable to do anything but duck and cover, or run and hide in the wake of an antiquated 1992 directive enacted by William Jefferson Clinton that makes all such facilities gun-free zones. Soldiers are forbidden to carry weapons unless they are military police. Instead they circle lazily inside office buildings with massive glass fronts like so many fish in a bowl.

ISIS sued because the directive, if followed, would in essence camouflage the targets…er….Soldiers making them harder to detect against the equally at risk and rewarding civilian population. Such a lack of distinction, they argued, made it more difficult for them to exact a horrific enough kill ratio which would then hinder their chances at a speedy entrance into heaven. This, they argued was a violation of their expression of religious freedom.

The Court ruled 6-3 in favor of ISIS with only Justices Alito, Thomas, and Scalia dissenting. The majority opinion sided with ISIS pointing out the flagrant violation calling it a persecution of Allah-obeying freedom fighters.

A lesser ruling calling for these Soldiers to also be tied to posts to make them easier targets was put down with the majority opinion stating that ISIS instead had to either practice their marksmanship skills, or bring more ammunition to their next atrocity killing site.

 

 

Hillary Clinton wins suit against NSA.

Democratic Presidential Candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton won in a lawsuit against the NSA gaining access to the archived digital intercepts the NSA collected during her tenure as Secretary of State and in the years following her exiting government “service”.

In the presidential race, Hillary was seeing her polling numbers decrease exponentially and learned that along with the emails she had illegally deleted, she had erased all of her fake Twitter follower handles and was unable to falsely boost her favorability ratings.

The NSA was ordered to hand over the files including all email intercepts without delay and without making back up copies. Hillary was ordered to cleanse these files of “personal” emails and then hand over the remaining seven emails to Chairman Trey Gowdy, investigating the Benghazi murder of four Americans.

Gowdy filed an appeal stating that Clinton would simply erase any damning evidence against her and that he already had the seven emails she would be handing over. The Court sniffed arrogantly at Gowdy and said, “Nah nah na-nah nah” before sticking their tongues out and their thumbs in their ears.

Mrs. Clinton’s ratings are expected to recover quickly giving her more time to plan how to either buy or steal the 2016 election.

 

People are just plain rude these days. I, for one, do not put up with it I don’t just walk on and not say something back. Some might say that makes me rude. I say it makes me a teacher, almost a historian.

For example, at my fitness center one day, leaving the locker room area, a small girl ran beside me trying to get to the ice cream freezer where she immediately began wailing and braying like a bronco at a rodeo. As she came along side me, there wasn’t sufficient room for her to open the freezer and touch all of the ice cream bars before selecting the one she demanded. So she pushed me to the side by running into my leg. The ensuing conversation:

 

Steve: Pardon me all over the place.

Child’s mother: You’ll have to excuse her. She’s only five.

Steve: Actually, I don’t have to. She’s five. What better time for someone to be teaching her manners. Too bad she doesn’t have that person in her life.

Child’s mother (visually taken aback): Why never…

Steve: Never what? Had someone speak truth to your misplaced sense of entitlement? Isn’t it a bitch when reality collides with your fantasy?

 

Another example, I’m driving in a parking lot and I see a guy well outside the walking distance of where I’m driving in my lane. I could easily pass by him before he gets to where he would walk across the lane without even having to speed up. Instead, the guy begins trotting to close the distance. So I slow down, giving him the lane to cross before I drive through. Once he sees me do this, he stops trotting and starts walking again. He does not even give a “thank you” hand gesture. My passenger window seemed to come down all by itself…

 

Steve: You’re welcome, Asshole.

Guy: What did you say? Come here!

 

I stopped the truck and exited coming around the driver side of the truck. I was fully 4 inches taller, 30 pounds heavier, and infinitely more pissed off than he was.

Steve: Yes? Need something?

Guy: Uh… Thank you. No, that’s it.

And he walked into the pedicure salon to suck his thumb while he had his feet worked on by some Asian girl.

People have forgotten basic civility. They have turned their backs on the premise of helping each other so that we all do better. I’m not talking about communism. I’m talking about being neighborly. Coke used to have a commercial along this line where a person sees another in distress and hands them a cold, (I mean dripping cold) Coke. Just as their about to take a sip, another persons goes through some tragedy. They hand off the Coke. And so on. People helping people they don’t even know. Showing empathy. Stepping out of their comfort zone. Being human.

Instead, we walk through life with our nose glued to our iPhone, just waiting for the next government hand out. Until we return to being human, we will lose any culture battle the progressives want to throw at us.

1. Obama admits that ISIS has gone global. How about that? The once-declared and derided “JV-team” has decided to skip its senior year of eligibility and go straight past the draft into the big leagues. In a rare visit to the House of War (Pentagon), B. Hussein, congratulated the remaining 28 people left in the armed forces for their dedication and service in uniform before declaring that our country is in a long-term conflict with ISIL.  This is truly a rare event as usually the Generals have to rent another golf cart at whatever Barry is playing in order to deliver the Daily Brief. Surrounded by his Joint Chiefs, including the hapless General Dempsey—standing there looking more like Jackie Wright (the bald sidekick from the Bennie Hill show)—Obama laid out his plans for an ultimate victory. I kept waiting for Obama to repeatedly pat Dempsey in rapid tempo on the top of his head.

The administration refrains from calling it ISIS because that would signify that the terror group has grown beyond Iraq and Syria (the Levant). Without directly saying so, the anointed one did admit that the group has its tentacles in many pies. Simply by acknowledging that ISIS is in Libya, he is contradicting his self-imposed restrictive moniker. No one in the press calls him or his “Hey, Spike!” mouthpiece in the press room.

The Apologizer in Chief warned that going it alone (without that 60-member, unnamed coalition) would be akin to playing “Whack-A-Mole” and that the group can be “pushed back.” What the “Commander” in Chief continues to fail to grasp is that no one else is going to even attempt a military solution against this group. Europe has neither the military capability or the economy to confront ISIS. The Middle East “partners” are covertly funding them. No other significant subset of world society is threatened by them (yet), so it is still our problem. We still seem to be the holder and owner of the world police beat nightstick and whistle. It is too bad we are only willing to use the whistle.

Previously, the Field Marshal of Pennsylvania Avenue had vowed to “Disrupt, Defeat, and Dismantle” the terror group. Clearly he sought a catchy sound bite rather than pronounce his resolve to rid the earth of this terror group.

Field Manual 3.09 (an artillery manual) lists these descriptions and definitions:

Deceive: No specific losses to the enemy—basically head fakes. This is in essence what we are already doing. Talking tough with no connected action.

Defeat: The enemy has permanently or temporarily lost the means and will to fight. We have never reached this peak with ISIS.

Delay: Slow the timing or arrival or capability of the enemy to project forces/capabilities. Think: Iran nuclear negotiations.

Destroy: Combat ineffective until reconstituted—30% minimum casualties.

Disrupt: Upset enemy formations/tempo causing them to commit prematurely or in a piecemeal fashion.

Divert: Go/attack someone other than where initially planned. ISIS has been quite effective at doing this tactic to us.

Neutralize: 10% combat losses.

Suppress: 3% losses; a temporary degradation of performance. Force enemy to keep their head down while in-contact forces close and destroy.

Dismantle is something you do to a Lego toy or a swing set in the back yard. It is not a military term. What does one expect, though from a community organizer?

2. Ivar Giaever once won the Nobel Prize in 1973 for physics and was an Obama supporter. Now he faces the stripping of his prize and forfeiture/recoupment of his monetary prize for going against the anointed one on his position on climate change.

 

Global Cooling, which became Global Warming, which became Climate Change is the number one threat to humans that we face, according to the Scientist of All. Giaever chose to publicly disagree. At a meeting of the Lindau Nobel Laureate this month he spoke these words. “I say this to Obama: Excuse me, Mr. President, but you’re wrong. Dead wrong.”

 

The Secret Service, reading a direct threat to B. Hussein by his declaration, immediately tackled Dr. Giaever and whisked him away to an undisclosed location. He has not spoken publicly since.

3. Illegal Aliens declare open season on American Citizens. In cities across the nation more and more people are mown down as they toil through their daily lives. In San Francisco, an illegal with seven felony convictions and who had been deported five times previously managed to “find” a gun that had been issued to a government agent, and used it to kill a woman strolling along a pier in front of her father. He was roaming the streets of San Francisco because he knew it was a sanctuary city and he would not be pursued because of his status or deported if caught.

In Laredo Texas, another illegal alien, four times previously deported used a hammer to kill his wife. The assailant wrote a note apologizing for his actions to his own mother, ignoring what pain and suffering he may have caused his wife’s family. In Arizona, a six times deported illegal alien high on marijuana, ran a car into a crowd of people running over a mother and her two children. An illegal alien in Colorado was convicted of second degree murder caused while driving under the influence.

The list is a long one. Over 240 cities in the United States are classified as sanctuary cities. Sadly, these criminals do not go there and stay there. Meanwhile, the ordinary citizens in these cities can be found on Saturday nights at local school gymnasiums as they conduct lotteries to discover who will be killed this week and how.

4. Iran accepts delivery of an American W88 nuclear warhead. In a stunning agreement largely yawned at by the world at large, the United States and Iran reached an agreement on Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Buried in the agreement was a rider that stated the “US would provide through intermediaries, a working and intact W88 warhead. Iran was forbidden to keep it longer than 30 days at which time it would be trucked to Tel Aviv for detonation. The nuclear talks had been droning on for several months failing to come to any agreement, missing deadline after deadline. The US negotiation team, led by the stalwart fecklessness of John Kerry (Did you know he served in Viet Nam?), and prodded to conclusion by Nobel Peace Prize winner B. Hussein Obama, raised their hands clasped in victory while they danced in circles. So invested in reaching an agreement—any agreement—they allowed the insertion of the weapon transfer knowing that no one would read the agreement before it was signed, that we would have to sign the agreement before we could find out what was in it, and that the general public was more concerned about Caitlyn Jenner and her troubles and that in three days it would all blow over.

The Sarcastic Sentry: Issue one, Volume one.

I will begin a series of comments (facts and sarcasm) on various news articles that manage to headline the Internet news sites I frequent. You, the reader should be able to discern my thoughts as to why they should or should not be front page news.

1. The Greeks voted down a referendum on July 6^th that could have brought the country closer to financial stability. The lenders on the one side offered continued loans to help the fledgling country in exchange for more promises of governmental program austerity. One the other side was a black chasm of the unknown that comes along with a developed country that overtly decides to give a rigid middle finger to financial common sense as well as previous (and potential) investors. The voting turnout was typical for the island nation at around 62.5%, with 61% of them voting no. The remaining 37.5% were too busy standing in line for their daily 60 Euros and protesting for more free hand outs to vote.

Left-wing policies got them here, with their government borrowing vast amounts as soon as they joined the EU. With no reasonable means of repaying the loans, they became visual proof of Margaret Thatcher’s quote about Socialism eventually running out of other peoples’ money. Creditors who offered another bailout were demanding that Greece further reduce their expenditures on “non-producing” outlets (like military spending—sound at all familiar???) and more on places where some return on investment could be expected.

Oddly, America’s debt trend is on a similar upward trend the same as Greece’s albeit on a vastly larger scale. The left-wing politicians, as well as their gift recipients simply cannot grasp the concept of running out of free ice cream. Eventually, someone has to pay the guy behind the counter scooping sherbet into all those cones.

2. A Sturgeon leapt from the waters of the Suwanee River striking a mother and her two kids. The mother was struck in the face, the boy suffered a broken arm and the 5-year old girl was killed. PETA immediately dispatched a team of lawyers to begin the defense of the fish saying it was clearly the result of trauma from the (probably) illegal invasion of its turf by the wicked humans. San Francisco and Denver quickly offered the fish refuge.  The Florida Fish and Game Counsel, a ridiculously named and likely useless government agency, blamed the propensity for the leap on the unusually low waters in the river. The unstated reason for this was likely global warming…or as Wackos call it now, climate change. The EPA backed PETA’s position. Hillary Clinton, the as-yet uncrowned Queen of the United States asked for donations on behalf of all aquatic atrocities.
3. Kim Kardashian again proved that she shouldn’t be a spokesperson for any serious social cause by coming out for Hillary Clinton for President in 2016. She also stated that “she isn’t a gun person, and believes we should have more controls on guns.” Specificity is not her strong suit as she did not go into any greater detail. Just more controls, it would seem. She made these comments in San Francisco where just days before an illegal alien shot and killed a woman in front of her father.

At first the five-time deported alien, Juan Francisco, Lopez-Sanchez (a fine Irish boy), stated he had been shooting at sea lions. (One wonders if the penalty for shooting a sea lion carries a stricter punishment.) Then he said he found it on a bench wrapped in a T-shirt and it went off when he picked it up. (One has to guess it went off three times.) He then kicked it into the bay and went about his worthless existence until he was picked up by police. Apparently he was picked up on cell phone video firing the weapon.

Four months ago, Sanchez had been arrested on a drug charge but was not detained as the federal authorities had asked because San Francisco is a sanctuary city—allowing all illegals free entry without fear of being detained or deported regardless of the crimes. Sanchez with his seven felony convictions was out begging trying to raise the $20 needed to file paperwork to become the town’s mayor when the “unfortunate” mishap occurred.

The people of San Francisco were all ordered to line up at their local courthouses and be issued iron-on targets to be placed on their torso articles of clothing when walking freely about minding their own God-given freedom-loving business. The parents of the slain girl spoke out in the aftermath saying they did not want the focus to be on the criminal history of the killer or the fact that he should not have been in the United States at all (unless it was behind bars). Instead they were focused on healing, fearing the trigger puller was up all night in angst that he may have broken one of God’s Commandments. “Focusing on his past will not bring Kate back,” they said, in an apparent disregard for the next person Sanchez kills.

4. The Hillary Clinton campaign used actual ropes to corral reporters trying to get close enough to ask the as-yet uncrowned Queen of the United States meaningless questions. Most serious reporters have long sense given up attempting to ask questions with any serious merit knowing that they have already been negatively vetted by the campaign and will never be called upon to ask questions. One reported did ask a question about what the Queen’s favorite ice cream flavor was—a question sure to include the reporter in the next round of Pulitzer Prize considerations. Queen Hillary, quick as a whit, and sharp as a tack would not be trapped by the penetrating question, dodged it saying she could not name a favorite. Clearly Hillary saw such a definitive response as a micro-aggression against those who make other flavors as well as those who like others as their favorites. The postings on FaceBook by users denouncing their previous declarations of favorite flavors briefly caused an outage of service across the nation.
5. Bubba Watson publicly declared he is sack-less by announcing that he will paint over the Confederate flag that adorned the roof of his “General Lee” car that was made famous on The Dukes of Hazard television show of the 80’s. The uproar about the flag started in the wake of an off-his-meds lunatic in South Carolina entering a black church and killing nine worshippers. Since then, politicians and activists of all colors and vintages have spoken out against any and all forms of Southern Heritage symbols and icons, calling for the removal of statues and other war memorials.

Watson, a professional golfer later stated that his stance was met with such division that he has also decided to drop “Bubba” from his public name as it invokes images of being “too-southern”, coveralls wearing, and moonshine drinking. As his real name is Gerry, a typically female spelling of the name, he was going to change that as well until his publicist stated that would be an affront to others using that spelling regardless of their sexual orientation. Watson released an apology to the PGA family as a whole for the sin of even contemplating something that could be remotely seen as offensive and stated he will be now go by the moniker “B-Dawg” as it includes both southern and hip-hop ideology and imagery.

In support of Southern history and as my own middle finger to those so politically correct, I post a picture of the Rebel Flag here.

On this date, June 25^th, 2015, the Supreme Court of these United States deemed in a vote of 6-3 in favor of the country keeping the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare. The main thrust of the complaint against the law from several states was that they had decided as states to not set up state-level exchanges and as such their citizens would not be eligible for federal subsidies like residents in states with exchanges. The complaint argued that as written, the law made it unfair for people living in non-exchanged states as they were not getting subsidies that other citizens were.

The court disagreed. This 2000-page law that no one read, that was passed without a single Republican vote, that has been illegally changed more than 20 times without votes on these revisions is again protected by an increasingly liberal Supreme Court regardless of what the Constitution says.

Antonin Scalia, the lead dissenter of the court’s opinion stated that the law should now be known as SCOTUSCare since they are the governing body doing the most to protect it. In the majority opinion, it was postulated that the court interpreted that Congress did not mean to right a bad law, that tossing it out now would do more harm than good.

So our Supreme Court—the last bastion of “Constutionality”—determined it better to rule in the best interests of societal good rather than what is legal.

In that vein, could one not argue that selective committing of crimes is better for the overall societal benefit and change, than the laws that make such an act illegal? Take this idiot Roof, for example. Could someone not argue that if, by chance, someone decided to “jack Ruby” him, that his untimely demise was not better for society than making us all go through the ordeal of a protracted trial? What if he was found innocent?

Or is it just that these judges get to decide what is best for me? It makes sense, I guess. Now all three branches of the Government have proven themselves incapable of resisting the lure of over-reach.

A lunatic, likely off his meds, but poisoned in the mind in the first place by the ideology of two failed states already in the rubbish bin of history (Rhodesia and Apartheid South Africa), went to a church in South Carolina, during a bible study meeting, and slaughtered 9 people, all black who were there to worship. Pictures of this idiot soon surfaced affirming his hatred and ideological bent. You know, the ones with the shaded glasses, and the weapon pointed “sort of” at some target of danger, eyes glossed over as if that image is supposed to enhance the seriousness of the subject and make onlookers cringe, cower, and shudder.

My first thoughts were of the obvious weakness of the individual—based purely on his target choice. He went to a church; hardly a hard target, and killed six women—hardly a physical threat. Unless you enter a mosque, you have no fear of running into an armed audience. No one carries a weapon to church unless they are an off-duty police officer. And unless these six women suddenly swarmed on him, they couldn’t have presented a threat to him. No, just like all of these other “crazy people” (John Holmes, Adam Lanza, etc.) they selected a target where they would have time to kill a lot of people with little to no interference from within the target zone or immediately outside of it. That goes a long way towards thwarting the insanity defense. You picked some low hanging fruit rather than go, say, into middle-city Baltimore and shooting up the crowd outside a quickie mart or a basketball complex. There you’d have met some resistance and probably armed resistance. That would be crazy.

In the immediate aftermath of the killing, politicians on both sides of the aisle (which more and more seems to be the same side of the aisle) jumped from the act of killing to the symbols the lunatic seemed to appreciate. First and foremost was the Confederate Flag. South Carolina Governor Haley quickly stated it was time to remove the flag from the capital grounds. As if removing the flag now is going to stop the next idiot from turning the barrel of his gun as whatever target that fits the profile of his demon.

Other politicians raced to one-up Governor Haley. Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky stated that a statue of General Robert E. Lee in his state that had been defaced should be removed and placed in a museum. I guess putting it in a museum means far fewer people will see it. And he is probably correct. No one goes to museums anymore. They are too enraptured with what the Kardashians are doing. They can get an abbreviated version of whatever is displayed in a museum on their smartphone from the discomfort of their toilet. Never mind that the blurb accompanying the smart phone version has been politically edited to fit some radical liberal’s agenda and reflects very little of historical accuracy or relevance.

Tennessee politicians clamored that a bust of Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest be removed from the State House. He was an early Ku Klux Klan leader, you see. Never mind that he was a hugely successful Soldier in the Civil War, rising from an enlisted man to three-star Cavalry General. His thoughts and practices of mobile warfare are the basis for today’s mobile warfare—getting there first, with the most. But never mind his contribution to history. He traded slaves. All memory of him must be expunged.

Governor Terry McCauliffe banned the symbol of the Confederate Flag from appearing on the Virginia license plates. Other states are vowing to follow suit.

Amazon, Walmart, Ebay, and Sears stopped selling Confederate Flags. There are even calls for book covers that have the symbol to be removed and reworked. The Kentucky State Senate calls for the removal of a statue of Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States and fellow Kentuckian.

It has grown into an epidemic of cultural cleansing all in the name of racial sensitivity. What about the Jefferson Memorial in Washington DC? It honors President Thomas Jefferson, who was a slave owner, even knocking one of his teenaged slaves up. Never mind that he authored the Constitution and was a founding father of our country. Those contributions and accomplishments mean nothing compared to the horror of his having owned slaves.

Strom Thurmond was a Senator in the United States. He once ran for President as a Segregationist. Should we strike any mention of him from history? Shall we revoke any law he signed on to, sponsored, or promoted? Never mind the function and positivity any of those laws created. He was in favor of separating the races! Everything he did pales in comparison.

We cannot erase the past of this country by removing all relics that remain to remind us of it. But really, the groups doing most of this complaining are not doing it for anything as righteous as righting a historical wrong. They are doing their little “useful idiot” part towards fundamentally changing this country. These cretins simply believe that the United States was born, founded, built and continues on a history of lies, theft, murder, and corruption. These stupid cultural alterations are not their goal. It is the annihilation of the entirety of our culture they seek. And with a complicit and unchallenging media, they will get it.

I’m just glad I’m 54 years old. I’ll be dead before the country completely collapses. My kid? He’ll have to deal with it. I hope he is arming himself.

Corporal Eric Casebolt became the latest victim of police brutality—the kind the targets the police. Casebolt was an officer responding to a melee in a suburb about 100 miles northeast of Dallas, Texas, in a town called McKinney. The semi-affluent neighborhood was having a pool party. Residents could invite two guests. The mix of attendees was diverse. But soon enough, news of the party went out on Twitter (no, I do not have an account) and the place was ransacked by people (of all races) that did not belong there. Faced with a mob crowd, the HOA and residents called the police to restore order back to their neighborhood. Enter Corporal Casebolt.

He is widely seen on a You Tube video forcing a black, female, bikini-clad teenager’s face into the grass. He is seen moving quickly from individual to individual loudly ordering them to get down on the ground—to comply. Many, this teenaged female included refused. In the video older youths can be seen actually encouraging people to defy the police orders. In one instant, while trying to force the female to comply, two grown youths are seen approaching the officer from what would have been his blind side. One of them seems to jump from one spot to another closer to Casebolt in what looked to be a taunting, challenging stance. Casebolt seeing this in his peripheral vision rose, and drew his sidearm. As soon as he sprang up the two immediately fled. (At least one of them was apprehended and charged.)

The community, fed by an all-too-willing media has gone into a viral reaction demanding the officer’s job. He complied, resigning after about ten years on the force and following years in the military police. He is accepting blame and expresses regret for allowing the moment to control his actions.

In my opinion, he is apologizing for having the natural instincts to defend himself. Had he ignored the two grown “attackers” would they simply have stopped taunting him? Do you think they would have left him to continue to subdue the female? Do you suppose they would have seen the futility of their interference and maybe decided to go to a bible study? Or would they maybe have taken other steps to goad him into the response they sought?

So… are there bad cops who go too far? Absolutely. Was Casebolt one of them? I think not. I do not believe he got up that morning scheming of ways to violate some spoiled bitch’s civil rights. He reacted as he was trained in a fight or flight scenario.

Now, did the agitators know what they were doing? Absolutely. Did they see a chance to “get on TV” and “piss off a cop”? You bet. Did they really have the stones to stand up to the police? Nope. You see that as they scamper away like the pussies they really are. They are just typical thugs who “bow up” against authority until authority turns its full attention to them. These are the same people who complain against the heavy-handed tactics of the police whenever police force them to do something they don’t want to do.

Do they know what they are doing? Absolutely. They see ALL police as the enemy, as though ALL police are trying to keep them down–through force preferably. They speak out against the police force as not reflecting the diversity of the community while black cops get killed in New York City or Chicago. The Police Commissioner in New York just spoke out that he is ham-strung trying to hire black men to be police officers as so many of them have criminal records. No just a misdemeanor offense, but felony arrests with jail time served. These “candidates” are automatically disqualified. And rightfully so. Who wants a cop on the force who used to sell drugs, or killed his neighbor in a fit of jealousy? The other lesson here? Just make enough noise, scream about discrimination and it won’t matter if you were wrong, the public will side against the cop. He’ll be made to be a villain and you’ll be sainted.

These people will tell you it is the overt racism of the police that targeted these men in their youth and deliberately had them arrested—framing them if necessary—in order to lock them up to control them. The police are targeting them. Those complaining seem to crave the anarchy that would follow if the police simply said “Screw it” and stopped responding to calls in their neighborhoods. Let them police themselves, maybe. We can’t be too far from that anymore.

This is what happens when a culture, willingly separate from the traditions of this country only thirty years ago, hampered by broken families with single parent leadership, idolizing such criminals a Tupac, Snoop Dog, Pe-Diddy, Suge—with the gun toting, drug selling (and using), women dominating lifestyle they promote, takes control. Anything goes. Do anything you want. Punish those who disrespect you. Take anything you want by force. You are OWED it. Disrespect anyone who tries to tell you what to do. You want to rape that woman? Go ahead. She wants it anyway, right? Especially if she is white. Add to that a media empire that shills for the grievance and victim industry and you have all the ingredients you need for a disaster cake.

And these are the same people that will be begging for police protection in a few months when the residents already living among them, encouraged by the lack of anyone strong enough to tell them “no” step up and take the reins. They’ll be blaming the white cops for deliberately staying out of black communities, forcing them to fend for themselves.

These are tough times to be a cop. I wouldn’t want to do it.
