Tennessee Sues Government over Immigration

Holder's Mustache

"... and we urge the Attorney General to act without delay ...” Surely not this Attorney General ... ?? Loretta Holder NASHVILLE, Tennessee–On Tuesday, the Tennessee General Assembly declared it will sue the federal government over its refugee resettlement program on Tenth Amendment grounds.  “The General Assembly clearly understands the importance of public safety and state sovereignty as demonstrated by the overwhelming support of this Resolution for which we are thankful. The Syrian surge heightens our sense of urgency to get this properly before the courts, and we urge the Attorney General to act without delay,” [FULL] The 1997 film is set in a United States in which foreign immigration has skyrocketed: The mayor of Los Angeles speaks only in Spanish, Rhode Island is populated mostly by Chinese-Americans, and Alabama has a congressman from India. Politics is openly reduced to a matter of catering to various ethnic groups for their votes - the Alabama congressman will only support the president if his state receives more money for Hindu temples. When an atomic weapon is used in Pakistan, an international organization makes plans to bring orphans to Idaho. Idaho governor Jim Farley (Bridges) orders the state's National Guard to close its borders, as Idaho has already received more than a million refugees; he acknowledges this even though the Governor himself routinely indulges in Mexican food, Mexican soap operas, and an affair with a Mexican-American reporter (Peña). Despite the best efforts of his press secretary Jimmy Cannon (Kevin Dunn), Farley remains largely oblivious to the national crisis he's the center of, since Farley is more concerned with rekindling his romance with his mistress rather than dealing with national matters. Meanwhile, the President of the United States (Hartman) turns out to be an equally ineffectual leader, ruthlessly exploiting immigration to fill districts and states with those most likely to vote for his own party. He will move more Koreans to New York since Koreans are one of his core constituencies. Reputed as indecisive, the President delegates his decision-making entirely to his advisors, most notably his unofficial chief advisor, lobbyist Jack B. Buchan (Coburn). Buchan, however, is less concerned with the good of the nation, and more concerned with politics, especially how the President's actions will play on television (resulting, for example, in a 72-hour deadline being shortened to 671⁄2 hours to prevent the news from interrupting Susan Lucci's farewell appearance on the soap opera All My Children). Buchan regularly influences the President's decisions by manipulating his desire to emulate previous U.S. presidents, even going so far as to pepper presidential statements with fictitious "quotes" from President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Meanwhile, the NN cable network is reporting the events and influencing them at the same time. News director Mel (Dan Hedaya) attempts to time events to maximize ratings, while his staff becomes polarized over the political issues involved in the conflict between the Governor and the President. Standard fare for the cable network is to show footage of crying immigrant children, which is done with the Pakistani orphans waiting to move to Idaho. As the deadline approaches, the Governor and the President call in, respectively, the Idaho National Guard and the United States Army. Tensions rise when the commanders of both units turn out to be bitter rivals from the Gulf War. Meanwhile, governors from other states send in their own National Guard units to aid one side or the other, causing the conflict to escalate into the national arena. Mexican-American pro-immigrant rioters bomb the Alamo, while anti-immigrants retaliate by bombing the Statue of Liberty because of its plaque, stating that "We no longer want your tired, your poor or your huddled masses." [Second Civil War] Not for the first time am I struck by the prescience shown by the  movie "The Second Civil War."  By comparison with this administration, the buffoons in the film are  genius.  The idea that Obama's DOJ would now secure our borders and observe a sane immigration policy is insane.

KLIEMUTT

Notable & Quotable: Climate Change and War Army major general: ‘Our men and women in uniform are smart and perceptive. They can spot phoniness in a heartbeat.’ One source for connecting war to temperature comes from the political closeness between environmentalists and the antiwar movement.Their logic goes like this: “Global warming is bad. Wars are bad. Therefore they must be connected.” The catalyst for war is the ignorance of leaders that leads them to misjudge. Humans start wars believing they will be profitable, short, glorious and bloodless. These truths never change. None are affected in the least by air temperature. But the myth of climate change as an inducement to war continues to curry favor among Washington elites. One source for connecting war to temperature comes from the political closeness between environmentalists and the antiwar movement. Their logic goes like this: “Global warming is bad. Wars are bad. Therefore they must be connected.” Remember, prior to the 1991 Gulf War, environmentalists warned of a decade of global cooling that would come from burning Kuwaiti oil fields. . . . Because the administration has elevated climate change to the status of a primary threat, the military has become an unwitting agent for propagandizing the dangers of climate change to the American people. . . . Because the administration has elevated climate change to the status of a primary threat, the military has become an unwitting agent for propagandizing the dangers of climate change to the American people. . . . The administration’s contention that climate change is a national-security threat would be just another example of mindlessly applied political correctness if it were not for the potential impact of this silliness on our actual security. The military follows orders and intuitively embraces the spoken intent of their commander in chief. A politically correct embrace of climate change as a national-security threat might in time cause our military to embrace alternative sources of energy before these technologies are proven. Should this happen, our men and women in uniform might well be fighting a war with underpowered and poorly performing weapons. [Full Article] Clap clap

1959 Futureliner

art is everywhere

A few weeks ago I posted on Dave Kindig's Bitchin' Rides artful restoration of a 1959 Buick Invicta.  A few days later the show ran a mind boggling, 2 episode restoration of 1950 GM Futureliner.  Kindig never mentions $$, so the viewer is left to wonder how much money the owner and his girlfriend shelled out to restore the piece of junk they brought in.  We still don't know, but we do know that one sold for $4.1 Million.  I watched the auction and recognized the guy and his girlfriend, so I'm pretty sure this was the Kindig Futureliner.  My only problem now is that I've watched every episode.

Crooked Hillary

ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, who worked under Bill Clinton in the White House, asked Hillary about the new nickname on This Week. Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady -- a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation -- is a congenital liar. William Safire, NYT, 1996! STEPHANOPOULOS: That’s the new nickname, Crooked Hillary. Your response? CLINTON: I don’t respond to Donald Trump and his string of insults, uh, about me. I can take care of myself. I look forward to running against him if he turns out to be the Republican nominee if I am the Democratic nominee. What I’m concerned about is how he goes after everybody else. He goes after women. He goes after Muslims. He goes after immigrants. He goes after people with disabilities. He is hurting our unity at home. Uh, he is undermining the values that we stand for in New York and across America. And he’s hurting us around the world. He can say whatever he wants to say about me. I really could care less. Trump, who attacked Clinton in 2015 for abetting her husband’s treatment of women, continued the new line of attack on her ethics Sunday. “She’s been crooked from the beginning. And to think, she has shot of being our president?” he mocked. “Crooked Hillary Clinton. We can’t let it happen!” It tears my soul apart that ... that ... this is news? ... and being debated?  Star Chamber stuff. Thank you Donald Trump for saying what every opponent she's ever faced ought have been saying. Balls.

Transgenderism ... the new Hula Hoop

T Faisa1 day ago (edited) These people are so unbelievably stuipd, and they're a product of a relativistic, self-love society. I had a conversation with someone like this on my university campus. We talked about transgenderism. She said I could identify as a white female even though I'm a black male. In fact, our conversation got to the point where she was okay with me identifying as a guinea pig. She refused to tell me that I'd be wrong if I actually thought that way. Sooooo stuipd and a little scary too. This is our generation. We're fucked. 136     deathpresent1013 hours ago Oh god I hope she doesn't have kids.

As someone who also identifies as a trans-species-guinea pig I am appalled that you just threw our kind under the bus like you did. And for what? To win an argument?

This Offs Me Tics !

Ticks are an epidemic this year, and these things are as lethal as a venomous snake in the wrong scenario! Use a lint roller right after being in the woods or on a brush walk.. for humans & pets: Please not only read it, but share it! Make sure we get the word out about these tics and the disease they carry!

Summer is around the corner! Time for camping, hiking and getting outside to play. Don't let those pesky annoying ticks stop you. Here's how with a simple homemade solution!

Repellent for your pets:

For pets, add 1 cup of water to a spray bottle, followed by 2 cups of distilled white vinegar. Ticks hate the smell and taste of vinegar, and will be easily be repelled by this ingredient alone. Then, add two spoonfuls of vegetable or almond oil, which both contain sulfur (another natural tick repellent).

To make a repellent that will also deter fleas, mix in a few spoonfuls of lemon juice, citrus oil, or peppermint oil, any of which will repel ticks and fleas while also creating a nicely scented repellent. Spray onto the pet's dry coat, staying away from sensitive areas including eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. When outdoors for an extended period, spray this solution on two to three times per day.

In a spray bottle, mix 2 cups of distilled white vinegar and 1 cup of water. To make a scented solution so you do not smell like bitter vinegar all day, add 20 drops of your favorite essential oil.

Eucalyptus oil is a calm, soothing scent that also works as a tick repellent, while peppermint and citrus oils give off a strong crisp scent that also repel ticks.

After mixing the solution, spray onto clothing, skin, and hair before going outdoors. Reapply every four hours to keep ticks at bay, and examine your skin and hair when back inside to make sure no ticks are on the body.

You Look Mahvelous

When I was a child I thought "Nap Time" was a punishment.  Now, as a grownup, it feels like a small vacation. The biggest lie I tell myself is, "I don't need to write that down,  I'll remember it." I don't have gray hair; I have "wisdom highlights." I'm just very wise.   Teach your daughter how to shoot, because a restraining order is just a piece of paper.  If God wanted me to touch my toes, he would've put them on my knees. Why do I have to press one for English when you're just gonna transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway? Of course I talk to myself; Sometimes I need expert advice.  At my age "Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I came in there for. Diane Lyons Old age is coming at a really bad time.

High Castle

cinema à la carte

"I saw my brother mowed down at Virginia Beach" The Man in the High Castle (2015) by ishoaib The television series diverges from the novel in many significant respects. Both the Pacific States of America and the Eastern American puppet state appear to be mere provinces of the Japanese and German empires without any apparent autonomous (even quisling) government institutions whatsoever. The Rocky Mountain States become a literally anarchic Neutral Zone. World War II appears to have ended symbolically in 1945, with America surrendering unconditionally after the Nazis destroy Washington DC with an H-bomb, rather than in 1947 after the US is invaded and defeated by land as in the book. As for Hitler himself, while elderly, he is apparently mostly hale in his Season 1 finale appearance, though other characters elsewhere in the season do reference his supposed physical infirmity. (Wiki) My son the royal prince told me to watch this series, which is by now in it's second season (so there's that).  We just watched s1, e3, and ... wow.  I have never watched anything that caused such a visceral reaction.  I mean, making me feel unsettled, ill, and queasy. I think perhaps it's due to the fact that, previously, I would have watched secure in the knowledge that this nation was too united to allow anything close to this scenario. Red Dawn 1984 ("In our time, no foreign army has ever occupied American soiul ... until now") had a similar premise, however I saw it as a vastly entertaining object lesson about protecting our borders.  With High Castle, I'm reduced to believing that we are on a course that will lead to a similar fracture, political upheaval, and subjugation. But, that's just me.  It's an AMAZON production, free to the Prime member, although I'll bet that wont be true for season two.  In fact, I'm disappointed that there  is a season 2.  I want closure.  Somehow Daily Motion is able to show S1,E1 (above), so have a go.
