Hurricane Matthew

Thirteen deaths in the US are attributed to Hurricane Matthew in the US.  In comparison, hundreds are killed in Haiti from the same storm.  It should be noted that the path of the hurricane only touched the western most tip of the island nation.  Many more are expected to die as a result of cholera.  Since 2010 over $650 million in European and over $700 million in US aid has gone to Haiti for obviously no good use.  Over a 13 billion dollars and this small island nation is no better off in disaster preparation.

What should we expect when the desired action is to throw money at an obviously corrupt and inept government?  Hell, the average 15 year old female is he mother of two from different fathers.  If a girl reaches 16 and is not a mother, they think something must be wrong with her.

Third world country status here, only insults third world countries.  Yet we continue to throw money into this sinkhole.  I understand humanitarian aid, but this is a farce.  We are so stupid.

Trump really is a guy

So it seems that Donald J Trump is the latest victim of stupidity of a “hot mic”.  These celebrities never figure out that the microphone is always recording just like the camera is.

Trump is caught in a locker r0oom quality conversation talking about how he is able to bed married women at will.  “They let you do it.”  “But nothing you wouldn’t hear in a football team locker room, or your standard sex-themed joke.  And it was ELEVEN years ago, long before Trump announced any political aspirations.  And the world is shocked.  The guy has a pecker and at times it takes over the speaking part of his brain.

On the other hand, his opponent is a career politician.  She, just three years ago, in a speech where she was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to give, Hillary told the attending audience how she dreams of a world with free trade, and open borders.

I’ll pause while that sinks in.  Hillary dreams of a world with no taxes on trade between nations.  Even those (like China) that manipulate their own currency to give the an unfair advantage.  She dreams of open borders where anyone can travel to and reside wherever they want without regard to immigration laws.

She even stated that she squares her belief by realizing that one has to have “public and private positions”.    Another pause.

She just admitted that she speaks with a forked tongue.  She says one thing for public consumption.  But what she says when she is paid is what she really thinks.  How very political and two faced.  She admits that what she says at public rallies is a lie–just what she thinks you want to hear–the acceptable position.  But she really thinks something else.

And people are aghast at what Trump said, and people aren’t even told what Hillary said.  They want Trump to withdraw from the race.  Hillary’s comments are yawned at by the media.

I’m not a Trump fan.  I think the country is screwed no matter who wins.  But the sheer duplicity in the double standard is so damning as to make one want to recoil from the whole process.

Put down your God damn phone

Every single day, I encounter some moron so absorbed in their digital world that they aren’t paying attention when the traffic light turns from red to green.  Many times I am number two in line.  I used to politely honk my horn to prod people back to this world and remind them the look up from that 4-inch screen and pay attention to the world outside their windshield.  It was like it became my fucking job to reel them in so that they step on the gas and move along so I could get to work.  I’m sorry, but that falls too much into the description of being a personal assistant.  I’m not doing anything like that without getting paid.  No thanks.  I just wait.  If the light turns red again, that’s just the way it is.  I plan extra time into my trips just for idiots like this.

The United Nations Concludes the US pay reparations to the black population.

A sub-panel of foreign bleeding heart liberals has come to the conclusion that the US owes reparations to the black population currently residing in the US.  The panel suggests reparations could come in the form of “a formal apology, health initiatives, educational opportunities … psychological rehabilitation, technology transfer and financial support, and debt cancellation.”

Wait, aren’t we already doing these things?  What are welfare, food stamps, housing subsidies, and loan subsidies?  Didn’t we nearly destroy our own economy with the sub-prime mortgage collapse?  That was when we gave people (of all color, mind you) really high dollar loans knowing that they would never be able to pay it back.

A family on government assistance can make as much as $49000 (in Hawaii) in value of program benefits, per year just for breathing.  It varies state to state, with the average being about $35,000.  These blood suckers “earn” less from Uncle Sam as their own real job income increases, so the incentive to work harder and make more decreases.

What about the UN paying for all of the sexual slavery scandals they’ve been involved with?

The allegations come amid one of the biggest scandals to plague the United Nations in years. Since the U.N. peacekeeping mission here began in 2014, its employees have been formally accused of sexually abusing or exploiting 42 local civilians, most of them underage girls.  Only one criminal charge has been filed in relation to any of the 42 cases of sexual abuse or exploitation that have been officially registered in the Central African Republic, according to U.N. officials.

It is not the first deployment in which U.N. forces have been accused of sexual abuse. In Bosnia in the 1990s, peacekeepers were accused of soliciting sex from women who had been trafficked and virtually enslaved in local brothels. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the early 2000s, more than 150 allegations of abuse and exploitation were registered against peacekeepers, and U.N. investigators found that many of the alleged victims were orphans. U.N. missions in Kosovo, Haiti, Liberia and other places also have been tarnished by such allegations.

So don’t come lecturing us on who we owe money to based on our “transgressions”.

Navy Female Sits Out the National Anthem.

Janaye Ervin, a Naval Reservist sat down during the playing of the National Anthem.  Naturally, she says she was defending the Constitution.  Never mind that she was disrespecting the flag as well as those who fought and died for her “right” to free speech.  The Navy quickly pointed out that regulations require military members, on off duty to stand and face the flag during the National Anthem.  If in uniform they salute.  Out of uniform they can either salute or place their right hand over their heart.  If the flag is not visible, they render the hand motions in the direction of the music.

She faces disciplinary action under Article 92 of the UCMJ.  This is a “catch all” article that will carry little serious weight, probably only a small financial penalty and maybe a rank reduction.  As she is a Reservist, she faces no restrictions on her movement or confinement.  Depending on her time in service and how fast or slow she has achieved rank, it may have a bearing on her ability to reenlist.

I say boot the bitch out.  Go be a community organizer.

College Marching Band Kneels While Playing the Anthem

Eastern Carolina University’s marching band had several members kneels during their playing the National Anthem.  Some knelt and did not even play their instruments.  They were promptly booed off the field by many in the stands.  That sentiment continued when the band returned at halftime to play.

Good for that crowd.

I think the similarly thinking alumni should remember this when they are next asked for a donation to keep the school afloat.  Vote with your checkbook.  Maybe the dean and school board members can go ask that fool Kapernick to make up the difference in what the charitable contributions are from what they need.  He started this nonsense, after all.
