Hollywood v. Trump

Donald Trump focus of Emmys as stars bash candidate, accept awards Jimmy Kimmel enlists Jeb Bush to help skewer Donald Trump at Emmys SNIPS:  Kimmel and many of the night's winners set their sights on GOP candidate Donald Trump, while a few gave shout outs to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Kimmel targeted producer Mark Burnett, who helped make Donald Trump a TV star with his “Apprentice” franchise. “Many have asked who’s to blame for Donald Trump .... “Who do you have lined up to fill in the spot on the Supreme Court,” Kimmel cracked. “Miley Cyrus or CLo?" Louis-Dreyfus said she'd like to apologize for the current state of American politics. Aziz Ansari, who won an Emmy for the Netflix series “Master of None,” mocked Trump’s proposed Muslim immigrant ban. “After careful consideration, I’ve decided I’m going with Trump — which is also why I’m recommending we get rid of all Muslim and Hispanic nominees from the ceremony immediately,” he said. “Mom, Dad … you need to be escorted out right now.”  Transparant” creator Jill Soloway, speaking to reporters backstage after winning her Emmy, compared Trump to Hitler  [full] As for Jeb Bush, this says it all :

Sniper takes out ISIS executioner from a mile away A sharpshooter killed a top ISIS executioner and three other jihadists with a single bullet from nearly a mile away — just seconds before the fiend was set to burn 12 hostages alive with a flamethrower, according to a new report. The British Special Air Service marksman turned one of the most hated terrorists in Syria into a fireball by using a Barrett .50-caliber rifle to strike a fuel tank affixed to the jihadi’s back, the UK’s Daily Star reported Sunday. The pack exploded, killing the sadistic terrorist and three of his flunkies, who were supposed to film the execution, last month, the paper said. The ISIS butcher — who reportedly delighted in burning hostages alive — had been on a US “kill list” for several months, sources told the paper, which did not identify the sniper or the executioner. He and his band of wicked men had been traveling around ISIS-held compounds in Syria slaughtering civilians labeled as spies. Their prisoners were tied to stakes or thrown in cages before being torched by the executioner, according to the report. ISIS started using flamethrowers after the torture method was popularized in North Korea. The ISIS killer was so feared that his victims would beg to be shot rather than be set on fire. Just before the sniper rescue operation outside of Raqqa, Syria, “the SAS team moved into an overwatch position above a village where they were told the execution was going to take place,” a source told the Star. “Up to 12 civilians were going to be murdered — eight men and four women. “The executioner gave some sort of rambling speech . . . then when he finished, the SAS sniper opened fire,” the source said. The captives were then rescued by British and US special forces. [FULL] This beauty is from last week and I missed it.  But it's still invigorating.

TOP GEAR 2

cinema à la carte

The Grand Tour Nee Top Gear The return of former Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May is one of the most eagerly anticipated events in the automotive world. Their new Amazon-backed show, The Grand Tour, has been teased endlessly for months, and live tapings are currently underway. Now, though, we finally know when we can see what the infamous trio has been up to. A video trailer on the Grand Tour's YouTube channel announced that the show will make its premiere on Amazon Prime Video on November 18th. The trailer shared doesn't reveal too much, but there's footage from the show's McLaren P1, LaFerrari, and Porsche 918 comparison test. Otherwise, the production looks incredibly gorgeous, which is exactly what you'd expect from this trio. The revamped Top Gear might have to step up its game for their next season. We're just happy we have two well-produced automotive shows to watch. Meh.  First, this is an Amazon production, which means it will evetually be watch for pay, even for Prime'rs. Second, I loved Top Gear, but by the end I'd pretty much stopped watching new epidodes, opting instead for re-runs of  earlier series.  Way more entertaining.  I hope I'm wrong though.  I do admire Richard Hammond's, and James May's loyaly to JC.

Columbia *snif- it's a tragedy* Student

—  You Utter Berk

VIDEO: Columbia Student Cries Over Trump Chalking on Campus “I don’t want my future to be this!” Thanks in large part to the Emory University students who pathetically panicked after seeing pro-Trump messages written in chalk on campus sidewalks, pro-Trump messages are now appearing on other college campuses. The whole thing is going viral on Twitter under the hashtag #TheChalkening. We covered the great campus Chalkening back in April. (See panel) In this video, James O'Keefe and Project Veritas Action journalists "trigger" a Columbia University student while chalking for Trump. While chalking and building a mini wall, the Columbia student became overly emotional and scared. When the student continued to have a meltdown, campus security intervened and asked O'Keefe to leave. A school maintenance worker immediately washed away the Trump chalkings with a hose once O'Keefe and the PVA journalists left. Do I have to say it?

Mexican Invaders RAAAAACISTS!!  Mexico wants to build a border wall with Central America to keep out illegal immigrants

It seems Mexico agrees with Donald Trump’s plans to build a wall to keep out illegal immigrants – but only on its southern border with Central America. Mexicans are calling for the border wall to keep out Guatemalans, Salvadorans and Hondurans fleeing violence in their own countries. They complain ‘hordes’ of immigrants pass through on their way to the United States -who are then simply deported back to Mexico rather than their home countries by the US. ‘Trump’s idea of a border wall is a good one but it should be on the southern border with Central America in order to stop the flow of Central Americans from entering both countries,’ the El Mañana board wrote in July. Central American migrants are left stuck in border cities with Mexican officials unable to afford to send them back to their own countries, according to an article by one of the largest newspapers in the border state of Tamaulipas, El Mañana, titled: ‘Yes to the Border Wall … but in Mexico’s South.’ The real estate mogul sparked international outrage last year when he unveiled his idea for a giant wall on the US border with Mexico – which he claimed Mexico would pay for. But while Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has mocked Trump’s plans, many Mexicans praised the concept of a border wall. ‘Trump’s idea of a border wall is a good one but it should be on the southern border with Central America in order to stop the flow of Central Americans from entering both countries,’ the El Mañana board wrote in July. You can't make this shit up.

WHAT PERCENTAGE OF MUSLIMS ARE 'DEPLORABLE'?

COULD HILLARY TELL US WHAT PERCENTAGE OF MUSLIMS ARE 'DEPLORABLE'? [...]  Sad people with meaningless lives were suddenly empowered to condemn other people. I beat you in blacks yesterday; I'm going to beat you in women today. This is what makes them feel superior to other people, especially other white people. It's not about racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.; it's just a self-actualization movement for people with emotional issues. The dead giveaway is that all the hacks on the left are using the same jokes. Compare the opening lines of James Kirchick of the New York Daily News and Dana Milbank of The Washington Post in their columns on Hillary's "basket of deplorables" insult: Kirchick: "Hillary Clinton was way off base Friday night when she claimed that 'half' of Donald Trump supporters are 'deplorable' racists, sexists and nativists. ... It's not 50 percent of Trump supporters who are bigots. It's closer to 100 percent.” Milbank: "Hillary Clinton may have been unwise to say half of Donald Trump's supporters are racists ... If anything, when it comes to Trump's racist support, she might have low-balled the number.” It never occurs to a hack that someone else may have had the same idea. But as long as liberals are such perfect thermometers of deplorableness, could they tell us how many Muslims are "deplorable”— specifically, what percentage are “sexist” or “homophobic"? For decades now, the most important job of anyone covering a presidential election is to unceasingly demand that the Republican candidate disavow David Duke. This laughably irrelevant man must be trotted out as a bogeyman to frighten NPR listeners. Instead of reporting news, journalists have become Official David Duke Disavowal Demanders. The only way we find out that Duke is still alive is that Republicans are asked to denounce him every four years. For all we know, Duke died 20 years ago and the media are using a body double. Will Hillary ever be asked to "disavow" Al Sharpton, George Soros, Black Lives Matter or Colin Kaepernick? These are people who have power and visibility even when it's not an election year. In fact, the only time some of them are not in the public eye is during election years, when, for example, Al Sharpton is sent off to a safe house for six months. By contrast, the only time Duke is in the news is during election years. It doesn't matter who the candidate is -- the GOP could run Bobby Kennedy, and journalists would incessantly demand that Bobby "disavow" Duke.  [FULL COULD HILLARY TELL US WHAT PERCENTAGE OF MUSLIMS ARE 'DEPLORABLE'?] You're welcome

Quotations From Rush Limbaugh

20 of the top 62,791 I just tripped over John "the Hawk" Hawkin's "20 Greatest Quotations From Rush Limbaugh." Here's ten of them. Yes, the list is three years old, but some things never get old. 10) “The way to improve our schools is not more money, but the reintroduction of moral and spiritual values, as well as the four ‘R’s: reading, ‘riting, ‘rithmatic, and Rush.” 9) “The world’s biggest problem is the unequal distribution of capitalism. If there were capitalism everywhere, you wouldn’t have food shortages.” 8) “Compassion is defined not by how many people are on the government dole but by how many people no longer need government assistance.” 7) “I’m not opposed to the protection of animals. But the best way to do that is to make sure some human being owns them.” 6) “Morality is not defined and cannot be defined by individual choice.” 5) “Progress is not striving for economic justice or fairness, but economic growth.” 4) “You know why there’s a Second Amendment? In case the government fails to follow the first one.” 3) “If Thomas Jefferson thought taxation without representation was bad, he should see how it is with representation.” 2) “Bigot: A person who wins an argument with a liberal.” 1) “What about feeling sorry for those…who pay the taxes? Those are the people NO ONE ever feels sorry for. They are asked to give and give until they have no more to give. And when they say ‘Enough!’ they are called selfish.” [FULL]

Jamilah Pie

Missouri senator sits during Pledge of Allegiance ... in protest Born Jenise Williams, she converted to Islam. . Nasheed was taken into police custody on October 20, 2014, in front of the Ferguson, Missouri police dept,... she was in possession of a firearm at the time of her arrest (after having sponsored anti-gun legislation).. After police smelled alcohol, they prompted her to take a breathalyzer, which she refused to do. Nasheed went on record publicly saying "Sometimes you have to break the law" JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. —A Democratic [duh] state senator from St. Louis refused to stand while her colleagues recited the Pledge of Allegiance in the Missouri Capitol. Sen. Jamilah Nasheed said she sat while others said the pledge at the start of Wednesday's short session as a form of protest. She said she acted in solidarity with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has refused to stand for the national anthem all season in protest of police brutality and racial oppression in the United States. Nasheed said she wants to call attention to those issues and isn't "anti-America." Nasheed's protest was met with silence in the chamber, unlike Kaepernick, who has been booed for kneeling during the anthem. Congratulations Jamilah.  You are today's poster girl for why the nation as a whole is fed up with antics like this, and will likely send  Donald Trump to the White House with the most lopsided victory and mandate in U.S. history.

Point of order here ...

The Barn Army Dept of Constitutional Clearing-up previously asked: If Northern California falls into the sea, will Nancy Pelosi immediately lose her congressional seat for a district that no longer exists? I understand that Senator Byrd was tasked with the research, but I haven't heard a word from him. Yet.   Anyway, here's another, even more pressing situation that needs clearing up.  What if  President Trump's investigation into Barrack Obama's Presidency concludes that he was, in fact, not even eligible to hold that office, having falsely claimed American citizenship; and, was furthermore an agent planted by a foreign cabal to "fuckup America" (a legal term), which conviction is  death  lethal injection ... .  Well, that begs the question "Will his Secret Service detail have to be present during the 'ceremony?'  Will they be honor- bound to try and pull him off the gurney?"  Right now, nobody knows. Write your congressman.

Drone Groans

Techno Chills

Here's How Drones Will Fly Into Your Open Windows And even if they don't, just know that they can. What's impressive about this display is not that the quadcopters can do it, but how they can do it. Similar drones have pulled off similar stunts in the past through the use of external sensors and cameras that give the drone a wealth of information as to where it is. It's only with that data that the algorithm controlling the drone can fine tune the craft's movements. That algorithm is often not running on the drone itself either; an external computer is doing all the thinking and the drone is just a very good and quick listener. In this instance, the drone is flying with its own eyes (a single drone-mounted camera) and its own brain (an on-board Qualcomm processor). That's crucial because it means just about any drone could do this without external help. It wouldn't need cameras mounted on the side of your house to guide it through the window. The one caveat, as Kumar told IEEE Spectrum, is that the drone does know where the obstacles are before it even starts moving; a drone wouldn't be able to fly like this through a window it only just noticed. If someone finds the fountain of eternal yoot; for godsake kill him.

#Never Trumpers

TARGET: #Never-Trumpers

'It's a nuclear bomb,' says Rush Limbaugh as traffic melts down server Think of the last time an anonymous think-piece captured the imagination of the public so completely, the server hosting the article melted down. Rush Limbaugh calls the commentary “a nuclear bomb.” And it starts like this, with the Never-Trumpers in the Republican Party the target of the indictment: “2016 is the Flight 93 election: charge the cockpit or you die. You may die anyway. You – or the leader of your party – may make it into the cockpit and not know how to fly or land the plane. There are no guarantees. Except one: if you don’t try, death is certain. To compound the metaphor: a Hillary Clinton presidency is Russian Roulette with a semi-auto. With Trump, at least you can spin the cylinder and take your chances.” Authored by “Publius Decius Mus” and published by the Claremont Institute in California, the article has social media ablaze after Limbaugh quoted widely from it, something he seldom does, and hailed it as explosive analysis key to the election of 2016. It’s also a wholesale indictment of conservatism over the last 30 years. “[T]hose most horrified by Trump are the least willing to consider the possibility that the republic is dying.” “If you’re among the subspecies conservative intellectual or politician, you’ve accepted – perhaps not consciously, but unmistakably – your status on the roster of the Washington Generals of American politics. Your job is to show up and lose, but you are a necessary part of the show and you do get paid.” “Let’s be very blunt here: if you genuinely think things can go on with no fundamental change needed, then you have implicitly admitted that conservatism is wrong. Wrong philosophically, wrong on human nature, wrong on the nature of politics, and wrong in its policy prescriptions. Because, first, few of those prescriptions are in force today. Second, of the ones that are, the left is busy undoing them, often with conservative assistance. And, third, the whole trend of the West is ever-leftward, ever further away from what we all understand as conservatism.” “All of Trump’s 16 Republican competitors would have ensured more of the same – as will the election of Hillary Clinton. That would be bad enough. But at least Republicans are merely reactive when it comes to wholesale cultural and political change. Their ‘opposition’ may be in all cases ineffectual and often indistinguishable from support. But they don’t dream up inanities like 32 ‘genders,’ elective bathrooms, single-payer, Iran sycophancy, ‘Islamophobia,’ and Black Lives Matter. They merely help ratify them.” “A Hillary presidency will be pedal-to-the-metal on the entire Progressive-left agenda, plus items few of us have yet imagined in our darkest moments. Nor is even that the worst. It will be coupled with a level of vindictive persecution against resistance and dissent hitherto seen in the supposedly liberal West only in the most ‘advanced’ Scandinavian countries and the most leftist corners of Germany and England.” “For two generations at least, the Left has been calling everyone to their right Nazis. This trend has accelerated exponentially in the last few years, helped along by some on the Right who really do seem to merit – and even relish – the label. There is nothing the modern conservative fears more than being called ‘racist,’ so alt-right pocket Nazis are manna from heaven for the Left. But also wholly unnecessary: sauce for the goose. The Left was calling us Nazis long before any pro-Trumpers tweeted Holocaust denial memes. And how does one deal with a Nazi – that is, with an enemy one is convinced intends your destruction? You don’t compromise with him or leave him alone. You crush him.” “On trade, globalization, and war, Trump is to the left (conventionally understood) not only of his own party, but of his Democratic opponent. And yet the Left and the junta are at one with the house-broken conservatives in their determination – desperation – not merely to defeat Trump but to destroy him. What gives?” “Oh, right – there’s that other issue. The sacredness of mass immigration is the mystic chord that unites America’s ruling and intellectual classes. Their reasons vary somewhat. The Left and the Democrats seek ringers to form a permanent electoral majority. They, or many of them, also believe the academic-intellectual lie that America’s inherently racist and evil nature can be expiated only through ever greater ‘diversity.’ The junta of course craves cheaper and more docile labor. It also seeks to legitimize, and deflect unwanted attention from, its wealth and power by pretending that its open borders stance is a form of noblesse oblige. The Republicans and the ‘conservatives’? Both of course desperately want absolution from the charge of ‘racism.’ For the latter, this at least makes some sense. No Washington General can take the court – much less cash his check – with that epithet dancing over his head like some Satanic Spirit.” “This is insane. This is the mark of a party, a society, a country, a people, a civilization that wants to die. Trump, alone among candidates for high office in this or in the last seven (at least) cycles, has stood up to say: I want to live. I want my party to live. I want my country to live. I want my people to live. I want to end the insanity.” “Trump’s vulgarity is in fact a godsend to the conservatives. It allows them to hang their public opposition on his obvious shortcomings and to ignore or downplay his far greater strengths, which should be even more obvious but in corrupt times can be deliberately obscured by constant references to his faults. That the Left would make the campaign all about the latter is to be expected. Why would the Right? Some – a few – are no doubt sincere in their belief that the man is simply unfit for high office. David Frum, who has always been an immigration skeptic and is a convert to the less-war position, is sincere when he says that, even though he agrees with much of Trump’s agenda, he cannot stomach Trump. But for most of the other NeverTrumpers, is it just a coincidence that they also happen to favor Invade the World, Invite the World?” The answer to the subsidiary question – will it work? – is much less clear. By ‘it’ I mean Trumpism, broadly defined as secure borders, economic nationalism, and America-first foreign policy. We Americans have chosen, in our foolishness, to disunite the country through stupid immigration, economic, and foreign policies. The level of unity America enjoyed before the bipartisan junta took over can never be restored. But we can probably do better than we are doing now. First, stop digging. No more importing poverty, crime, and alien cultures. We have made institutions, by leftist design, not merely abysmal at assimilation but abhorrent of the concept. We should try to fix that, but given the Left’s iron grip on every school and cultural center, that’s like trying to bring democracy to Russia. A worthy goal, perhaps, but temper your hopes – and don’t invest time and resources unrealistically. By contrast, simply building a wall and enforcing immigration law will help enormously, by cutting off the flood of newcomers that perpetuates ethnic separatism and by incentivizing the English language and American norms in the workplace. These policies will have the added benefit of aligning the economic interests of, and (we may hope) fostering solidarity among, the working, lower middle, and middle classes of all races and ethnicities. The same can be said for Trumpian trade policies and anti-globalization instincts. Who cares if productivity numbers tick down, or if our already somnambulant GDP sinks a bit further into its pillow? Nearly all the gains of the last 20 years have accrued to the junta anyway. It would, at this point, be better for the nation to divide up more equitably a slightly smaller pie than to add one extra slice—only to ensure that it and eight of the other nine go first to the government and its rentiers, and the rest to the same four industries and 200 families.” “The election of 2016 is a test – in my view, the final test – of whether there is any virtù left in what used to be the core of the American nation. If they cannot rouse themselves simply to vote for the first candidate in a generation who pledges to advance their interests, and to vote against the one who openly boasts that she will do the opposite (a million more Syrians, anyone?), then they are doomed. They may not deserve the fate that will befall them, but they will suffer it regardless.” I've obviously been sitting on this for awhile. But, if you haven't seen it, here's your chance.  You're welcome.
