Chis Evans' Clarkson's Replacement

June 2015: Evans announced as Clarkson replacement Chris Evans is confirmed as the new host of Top Gear after Jeremy Clarkson is sacked for punching a colleague. Evans signs a three-year deal – but ultimately managed only six episode April 27, 2016: Heat Street sounds the alarm Heat Street, which launched just a few days earlier, raises the first warning signs about Evans’s past, revealing that a former colleague was planning to speak out about his alleged habit of exposing his penis to women at work. May 7: Alleged victim speaks out Just days later, the former colleague of Evans who had previously mentioned his alleged bad behaviour agrees to tell her story in full. May 23: Complaint made to police An allegation of sexual assault dating back to the 1990s was made to the Metropolitan Police on May 23rd – though it only became public today. May 29: First episode of Top Gear airs, promptly flops The first episode of the new series aired, pulling in disappointing viewing figures. The ratings would continue to slide all season, drawing in fewer than 2 million people with the July 3 finale. July 4: Investigation confirmed, Evans quits I always thought Chris Evans was a wanker. I miss (the real) Top Gear. Here's the full poop.

George Will Jumps the Shark

'This Is Not My Party': George Will Goes from GOP to Unaffiliated WASHINGTON – Conservative columnist George Will told PJM he has officially left the Republican Party and urged conservatives not to support presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump even if it leads to a Democratic victory in the 2016 presidential election. “Sure, but I’m also concerned with the fact that I do not really believe Republicans think clearly enough about what they really want in judges. Republicans have given us Earl Warren, Brennan, John Paul Stevens, Burger, who was kind of mediocre, Blackmun. Having a Republican president is not an answer in itself,” he said. ** Will, who writes for the Washington Post, acknowledged it is a “little too late” for the Republican Party to find a replacement for Trump but had a message for Republican voters. “Make sure he loses. Grit their teeth for four years and win the White House,” Will said during an interview after his speech at a Federalist Society luncheon. Will said he changed his voter registration this month from Republican to “unaffiliated” in the state of Maryland. “This is not my party,” Will said during his speech at the event. He mentioned House Speaker Paul Ryan’s (R-Wis.) endorsement of Trump as one of the factors that led him to leave the party. Will, a Fox News contributor, said a “President Trump” with “no opposition” from a Republican-led Congress would be worse than a Hillary Clinton presidency with a Republican-led Congress. [Full Tripe] Oh my, just after I congratulated Mr. Will for  A Progressive's Guide to Political Correctness; he changes his underpants again.  Let's start with his "Republicans have given us Earl Warren, Brennan, John Paul Stevens, Burger, who was kind of mediocre, Blackmun .." But, they've also given us Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas.  Name a single instance where a Democrat president has appointed a justice who was not a far-left ideologue.  Here's a good comment I found on Free Republic. Grit your teeth for four years and endure Hillary Clinton instead???? Grit your teeth and endure three or four new liberal young radical Supreme Court justices, who are just itching to impose liberalism on us at every turn?? Grit your teeth and endure dozens of new young radical judges appointed to the lower federal courts by Hillary?? Grit your teeth and endure more global warming hysteria, push for socialized medicine, LGBT wet dream policies??? Grit your teeth for four years?? IT COULD easily become eight years, assuming Hillary gets reelected. And 8 years of Hillary will only compound all that I’ve mentioned, plus others things she will do. But all of that is preferable to voting for the Republican candidate chosen by Republican voters.  Got it George. You make perfect sense. (sarcasm) What is it that Will sees Trump doing that terrifies him more than a President Hillary?  Srsly. Is it Trump's  pledge to  enforce our borders?  His pledge to evict illegals?  His pledge to treat the radical Islamo threat with appropriate action (like deporting threats and limiting immigration?)  WHAT George? That aside, I am mindful of Mr Jefferson's instructions re: future generations: Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of nineteen years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force, and not of right. It may be said, that the succeeding generation exercising, in fact, the power of repeal, this leaves them as free as if the constitution or law had been expressly limited to nineteen years only. I have to admit then, that now, in my dotage, I am mostly about schadenfreude. I hate Barack Obamunist's  rule. Hell, I hate Barry's very presence in our country.  I hate what Left Liberals have done  to my country. Since we are all more or less shackled to our own life experiences for understanding, I am thus bound to a continued affirmation of what the "American Dream" means, and what my duties as a citizen are to protect the principles behind it. They do happen to be consistent with what  Americans have felt for a few hundred years.  I'm then also pretty much bound by honor to, at least see merit in William C. Bradford's solution (or at least his reasoning). And screw George Will. (I did say  schadenfreude)

A last slap at Bawney Fwank

It appears self-styled equality champ and former gay whorehouse proprietor Barney Frank can no longer catch a break in #ThisTown. Sigh.

Not only has the documentary team that followed the Massachusetts Democrat around during his final year in Congress struggled to make ends meet on Indiegogo, now the art house theater where the trio had originally planned to stage the D.C. premiere of “Compared to What: The Improbable Journey of Barney Frank” is staggering toward a fast-approaching final bow. Filmmaker Sheila Canavan told HOH plans to share the up-close-and-personal look at the former lawmaker with District cinephiles have been shelved pending the conclusion of the ongoing fundraising push. She and partner Michael Chandler have raised roughly a third of the funds (around $30,000, at press time) they feel is necessary to fine-tune the silver-screen treatment of Frank’s everyday existence. [Roll Call cont] I suspect this will be the last time Bawney, the man most responsible for the 2008 bank collapse, will grace this page.  No, not even for his obit. For those interesetd, his newly released autobiography, “Frank: A Life in Politics from the Great Society to Same-Sex Marriage” is for sale. Hurry, while they last.

Creepy Biden

RED STATE DONKS RUN FROM GUN GRAB VOTES

Red state Democrats who voted for the failed Senate gun control bill in April 2013 have been scrambling lately to focus their campaigns on anything but guns and gun control. With November closing in, they've even asked Gabby Giffords and Mark Kelly to stay out of their states to avoid a shift in focus to guns or gun control.

But the reality is that Senators Mark Udall (D-CO), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Kay Hagan (D-NC), and Al Franken (D-MN) all voted for the Manchin-Toomey gun control bill in 2013--a bill that would have ended the private gun sales which free people have enjoyed in this country for nearly 220 years. It would have implemented an expansion of background checks from retail sales to private and forced every would-be gun owner to pass the same background checks Elliot Rodger (Santa Barbara), Ivan Lopez (Ft. Hood 2014), Karl Halverson Pierson (Arapahoe High School), Aaron Alexis (DC Navy Yard), James Holmes (Aurora theater), and Nidal Hasan (Ft. Hood 2009) passed, to name a few.

Cantwell Scalped

Catharsis “ Washington Redskins Defeat Maria Cantwell It’s easy to see both sides of this issue. Having seen it, most Americans think that the Washington Redskins should keep their name, despite its past usage as a racist slur against Native Americans. What’s more, most Native Americans think the NFL team should keep their name. Quoting CBS News: “In 2004, the National Annenberg Election Survey asked 768 people who identified themselves as Indian whether they found the name ‘Washington Redskins’ offensive. Almost 90 percent said it did not bother them.” That didn’t stop Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrats from Seattle … a white Democrat from Seattle … a rich, white Democrat from Seattle from jumping feet first into the issue. Agree or disagree with Cantwell or the Redskins, what BuzzPo dearly loves is seeing a sentient, sovereign, free human being stand up to a cloying, pernicious politician who has, oh, about 17 trillion other priorities she should be focusing on before this. Dig Dan Snyder, the Redskins owner and his statement: ““Senator Cantwell should be aware that there are many challenges facing Native Americans, including an extremely cold winter with high energy bills, high unemployment, life threatening health problems, inadequate education and many other issues more pressing than the name of a football team which has received strong support from Native Americans … Surely, with all the issues Congress is supposed to work on such as the economy, jobs, war and health care, the Senator must have more important things to do.” [BuzzPro]    Tommy "Linebacker" Mann ”

Beretta Bolts Maryland

“ BERETTA: Maryland Disrespects Us & Gun Owners So We Expand In Tennessee SCROLL We chose Tennessee for our new facility expansion. Our plans for that location are extensive and long-lasting. We chose Tennessee because the governor and legislators in that state understand what it means to support businesses (such as through job recruitment and training programs) that improve employment in the state without treating companies as a necessary evil. We chose Tennessee also because the vast majority of its residents and their elected officials have shown that they respect and honor the American tradition of personal freedoms, including the right to bear arms.

Gibson Sticks Thumb Up Obama's Arse

“ Gibson Sticks Thumb in Obama Administration's Eye Eric Holder Model Scroll In 2011, the Department of Justice raided Gibson Guitar facilities in Memphis and Nashville, alleging a violation of the so-called Lacey Act, a law that bans the importation of certain kinds of wildlife, plants and wood. At the time of the raid, Gibson Guitars CEO Henry Juszkiewicz told Hugh Hewitt on his radio show that the feds confiscated tonewood imported from India for the guitar Gibson manufacturers which would result in a cost of $2 to $3 million for his company. At a great expense in legal fees and time, Juszkiewicz fought the federal government tooth and nail. But in August 2012, he settled with the Department of Justice by agreeing to pay a penalty of $300,000 and a $50,000 community service payment to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. At the time, Breitbart News suggested that the federal government targeted Gibson because of the conservative ideological stance it had supported. But according to the Gibson Guitar website, the tonewood was returned and made into the Government Series II Les Paul guitars: Great Gibson electric guitars have long been a means of fighting the establishment, so when the powers that be confiscated stocks of tonewoods from the Gibson factory in Nashville—only to return them once there was a resolution and the investigation ended—it was an event worth celebrating. Introducing the Government Series II Les Paul, a striking new guitar from Gibson USA for 2014 that suitably marks this infamous time in Gibson’s history. Gibson’s line of those guitars start $1,099 and are topped by a pickguard hot-stamped in gold with the “Government Series” graphic, which is a bald eagle hoisting a Gibson guitar neck. “Each Government Series II Les Paul also includes a genuine piece of Gibson USA history in its solid rosewood fingerboard, which is made from wood returned to Gibson by the US government after the resolution,” the website states. Actual Models shown HERE That's what I saw anyway. And Skoonj too, I think.    Here's what Brietbart saw. ”

Liberals discover the real ObamaCare

“  Liberals finally discover the real ObamaCare <Link: http://liberallogic101.com/?p=3033> visit site Marketa Winfield: “I have been a long-time Obama supporter, but it seems that that the only people who will be able to afford this are those who don’t need it. There is something wrong here, folks.” Carole Pratt Ri DeCarlo: “I have had my own private policy that I will not be able to afford to keep once the rates triple per the letter I received from Humana. I’m not eligible for ‘affordable’ coverage on the exchange, don’t qualify for subsidy. I am living, documented proof this is system will not work for me. No propaganda here.” Patti Gray: “So, these ‘free’ mammograms are costing me triple the premium costs, plus a HUGE new deductible and co-pay. Thanks Obamacare!!!” Cheryll Quail Feather Hart: “Where the heck is the AFFORDABLE part of this???? $17, 000.00 per YEAR to insure my family of 4???? And no help from subsidies because my work offers ME and, yes, only ME, coverage????” Jenn Tate: “Payments are more than we can afford. Sorry, my family needs to eat and keep a roof over our heads all year, not just at tax refund time.” Crystal Riggle Deans: “So, I have a family of five and we live 83 percent below the poverty line. We will be charged over $1,000 per month for insurance, and we are looking at $12,700 in out-of-pocket expenses, NOT including premiums. Hahaha, I haven’t even paid my rent this month because we couldn’t afford it. We have no car payments, no cable, no cell phones. We are not on welfare or food stamps.” Irene Waldron: “My daughter must pay $1,272 a year for an Obamcare policy with a $5,000-a-year deductible plan, or be hounded by the IRS to pay the penalty. She does not have an extra $200 a year, let alone $1,272. What an incredible scam. Obama lied. Lynn Watson: “I just got a call from a friend in Texas. She is single and 62 years old. The plan she got information on will cost her $450.00 a month with $6,000.00 deductible. This is the silver plan. You call this the affordable health care bill.” Sha Sha Corbley: “Sticker shock is a huge understatement. We currently pay $1,158 PER MONTH for a personal policy. Closest choice to what we have now but not as good being offered in 2014, will cost us $1,937 PER MONTH, and we don’t qualify for any subsidy.”  <Link: http://liberallogic101.com/?p=3033> Visit website Sent via  <Link: http://bit.ly/SA6Efh> feedly // A news reader for creative minds.
