Drive-Bys Go Full Palin

Drive-Bys Go Full Palin on Trump I'm telling you, I wonder how long it's going to be... Well, it's already happening, even before today.  But we do have a number of Republicans -- Meg Whitman being the most famous and noteworthy recently -- who are suggesting not only is it time to throw Trump overboard and get rid of Trump, it's time to sidle up to Hillary Clinton.  But I'm telling you, there seem to be so many people on our side that are deeply affected by what the media does. They still believe that the only way we can ever win is to have a nominee or a candidate for whatever election is up that the media doesn't destroy.  And, of course, I said, "Well, then if you get that kind of nominee that the media doesn't want to destroy, they're really not going to be that good  going to be part of the accepted establishment."  [Rush Limbaugh] 2) A FINE EXAMPLE 13 Quotes That Prove Hillary Clinton is aBigot Over the years  College Humor  has morphed from being obsessed by Lindsay Lohan and drunken frat parties to, viz,  one that takes it's cue from The Daily Show's leftist political humor. This recent entry is a good example. Most* of the quotes are accurate, and are the kind of truthful observations that propelled Trump into taking the GOP nomination despite an all out attempt by the GOPe to stop him.  So this cute little attempt use the Hildabeast to back-hand trump shows they view anything politically incorrect  as dangerous thinking.  I know.   *One panel quotes Trump saying in the late '90s: "I have black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day. Those are the kind of people I want counting my money. Nobody else." Wikipedia have here listed just about every meaningful Trump quote from the 1980s onward.  This quote is tagged DISPUTED.  Trump responded:   He made up this quote. I've heard the quote before, and it's nonsense... I've never said anything like it, ever." – Meet the Press (24 October, 1999) 3) EXPANDING Fusion misattributes racist quote to Donald Trump Fusion, the struggling millennial-centric news outlet, wrongly attributed a racist quote to Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump on Wednesday. An article that was featured on the very top of Fusion's home page described an application for a web browser that supposedly attached real past quotes from Trump to mentions of his name found online. "To be extra-clear: these are all real quotes that Donald Trump actually said..." read the article, written by Patrick Hogan. One of those quotes said, "Laziness is a trait in blacks." That line, however, is not directly from Trump. It is found in a 1991 tell-all by a former Trump employee, who alleges in his book that he heard Trump say those words to a black accountant at a Trump-owned establishment, according a 2011 article in the Huffington Post. [Full] 4) SPEAKING OF (CON) FUSION : "We made a Chrome extension to add real, ridiculous Donald Trump quotes to every mention of his name " Since Donald Trump’s reality TV bona fides have carried him near the top of some early Republican polls, we’ll probably be reading about him for at least a few more months. Which is annoying, given his penchant for saying pompous, ignorant, racist, and sexist things in a never-ending quest for attention. Luckily, there’s a way to make reading about Donald Trump much, much better. We wrote a custom extension for Google Chrome that adds a ridiculous Donald Trump quote to every online mention of his name. To be extra-clear: these are all real quotes that Donald Trump actually said, such as: “Laziness is a trait in blacks.” “We need global warming.” “Somebody’s doing the raping” You can install the extension at the Chrome Web store by clicking here. (Or just download the crx file if you’d prefer to install the extension manually.)  [FULL] Let me put it this way.  Trump is a successful businessman who runs his operations with a firm hand on the tiller.  He will not put up with liars or slackers, and in will call a spade a spade—(don't even)— and is, I think, scrupulously honest.   50 years ago he'd be played in the movies by Jimmy Stewart or Gary Cooper,  and directed by Frank Capra.   But, then, so could the vast majority of Americans. That's why I've been behind him from the get-go.  This is our last chance. Will I be happy with his every presidential decision?  Of course not; only I could meet that requirement.

The 'Vous

Who Knows Where This Is? The 'Rendezvous (Vous) opened in College Park in 1962 (closed 12/22/96).  It quickly became the new favorite frat-sorority hangout, replacing the Varsity Grill which had "modernized" it's old high ceiling, "aircraft hanger with/ giant wood burning fireplace" motif,  with  paneled walls, etc., and losing it's soul in the process.  Anyway. I remember that you had to walk down a few stairs at the 'Vous to reach the toilets, which were always overflowing; imparting the stench of urine to mingle with spilled beer.  It was raucous, fun, and full of memories and drunk co-eds. Much closer than the Town Hall, too.  After leaving the 'Vous,  one might stumble down the street to the Little Tavern and give hell to "Cyclops," the cockeyed cook while he fried up a bag of "death-balls." ASIDE: Kenny Ambrusko scored a 101-yard, game-winning touchdown against Navy in 1964.    That TD saw MD linebacker Jerry Fishman run in front of Navy's team, giving them the finger.  "After playing a contractually obligated 1965 game, Navy and Maryland did not play again until 2005." Ambrusko later was a bartender (maybe mgr) at the 'Vous.  He said that what was behind Fishman's anger was after sacking Navy QB Roger Staubach, Staubach called him a "fucking Jew."

We have met the enemy

OUTTAKES From St. Ann We have met the enemy and it's them There were virtually no Muslims in America before Teddy Kennedy's 1965 immigration act. Today, we admit more immigrants from Muslim countries than from Great Britain. We've admitted 2 million Muslims just since 9/11 – that’s more than had been admitted before 9/11. Speaker Paul Ryan proclaimed: "That's not who we are." Jeb! Bush made the subtle and clever argument that Trump was "unhinged." Marco Rubio called any pause in Muslim immigration "offensive." Does anyone know what Khan thinks of gays? How about miniskirts? Alcohol? ... Have any current members of The New York Times editorial board ever lost a son in war? (Fighting on the American side.) In order to shut down a debate they're losing, Democrats find victims to make their arguments for them, pre-empting counter-argument by droning on about the suffering of their victim-spokesperson. Alternative opinions must be preceded by proof that the speaker has "sacrificed" more than someone who lost a child, a husband, or whatever. Khan's argument, delivered angrily and in a thick Pakistani accent at the DNC, is that "our" Constitution requires us to continue the nonstop importation of Muslims. If the U.S. Constitution required us to admit more than 100,000 Muslims a year -- as we do -- we'd already be living in Pakistan, and Khan wouldn't have had to move to get that nice feeling of home. So the "argument" part of Khan's point is gibberish. Luckily, Khan had Part Two: His son died in Iraq, whereas Donald Trump does not have a son who died in Iraq, so he can't say anything. Yes, a candidate for president of the United States is supposed to be prohibited from discussing a dangerous immigration program because Khan's son was one of fourteen (14!) Muslim servicemen killed by other Muslims in our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. That's why we're obligated to import yet more Muslims – including, undoubtedly, some just like the ones who killed his son. Q.E.D.! [FULL] Sinecure - a position requiring little or no work but giving the holder status or financial benefit. 'nuff said.

PSA- Phone Scam

Phone Scams Remain on IRS “Dirty Dozen” List of Tax Scams The IRS will never: * Call to demand immediate payment, nor will the agency call about taxes owed without first having mailed you a bill. * Demand that you pay taxes without giving you the opportunity to question or appeal the amount they say you owe. * Require you to use a specific payment method for your taxes, such as a prepaid debit card. * Ask for credit or debit card numbers over the phone. * Threaten to bring in local police or other law-enforcement groups to have you arrested for not paying. WASHINGTON — Aggressive and threatening phone calls by criminals impersonating IRS agents remain a major threat to taxpayers, headlining the annual "Dirty Dozen" list of tax scams for the 2016 filing season, the Internal Revenue Service announced today. "There are many variations. The caller may threaten you with arrest or court action to trick you into making a payment,” Koskinen added. “Some schemes may say you're entitled to a huge refund. These all add up to trouble. Some simple tips can help protect you." Scammers make unsolicited calls claiming to be IRS officials. They demand that the victim pay a bogus tax bill. They con the victim into sending cash, usually through a prepaid debit card or wire transfer. They may also leave “urgent” callback requests through phone “robo-calls,” or via a phishing email. Many phone scams use threats to intimidate and bully a victim into paying. They may even threaten to arrest, deport or revoke the license of their victim if they don’t get the money. Scammers often alter caller ID numbers to make it look like the IRS or another agency is calling. The callers use IRS titles and fake badge numbers to appear legitimate. They may use the victim’s name, address and other personal information to make the call sound official. [Full] Got the first call a few weeks ago; very threatening voice-.  After ignoring the second call that day they stopped.  Today, sane thing but different people; but still threatening. After the second call no more ... so far.  There are  lot of people out there who are intimidated.  You know some like that, so warn them.

...getting your political news from The New York Times

. NY Times Public Editor (dumbed-down name for an ombudsman) Calls Out The Paper Over Hillary Clinton Cover-Up As the general election unfolds, it’s essential that whatever doubts linger about the candidates, these voters believe that The Times will give them the information they need to answer those questions. [and they haven't] -Liz Spayd, Public Editor, NYT Hillary Clinton, in a rare interview on Fox News last Sunday, claimed that the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey Jr., had called her statements about her private email servers “truthful” and said she has been consistent with the American people in her accounts about the controversy. As it turns out, Clinton’s contentions in the interview were misleading, bordering on false. The New York Times is just one outlet, but this is going on across the media landscape. Hillary is getting away with murder while Donald Trump gets raked over the coals for stupid stuff like the Khan spat and jokes about Russian espionage. Credit where credit is due: It’s good that this even appeared in the Times, but shame on them for allegedly trying to bury it by not sharing it on their social accounts. If you’re getting all your political news from The New York Times, this may be the first time you’re hearing this. Clinton’s remarks were covered by several major news organizations, several of which pointedly challenged the Democratic nominee’s candor. But nothing on the interview ever appeared in The Times, either online or in print. In the Fox appearance, Clinton was asked by Chris Wallace, the anchor, about previous statements she’s made when questioned on the email controversy, while he played tapes of her past remarks to the public. “After a long investigation, F.B.I. Director James Comey said none of those things that you told the American public were true,” Wallace said. Clinton pushed back. “Director Comey said my answers were truthful, and what I’ve said is consistent with what I have told the American people: that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails,” she said. The Washington Post, NPR, NBC News and PolitiFact all challenged Clinton’s claims, saying they appeared to be based on a selective and misleading interpretation of Comey’s remarks. The Post warded her “Four Pinocchios,” the worst truth-telling rating it gives, for statements it classifies as “Whoppers.”… I asked Carolyn Ryan, The Times’s political editor, about the decision not to cover Clinton’s remarks about the email controversy. Here’s how she responded: “It is a subject we have covered aggressively — especially how her comments compare to what the F.B.I. found — and will continue to do so.”…  [Full report] La-La--La-La-La-La-La-La-La-La ....

THE DEBBIE WASSERMAN PRIZE GOES TO ...

Clinton has stood for causes bigger than herself for a lifetime. That matters. Rep. Richard Hanna on Tuesday became the first GOP member of Congress to say he will vote for Democrat Hillary Clinton for president instead of Republican candidate Donald Trump, castigating the business mogul as “unfit to serve our party.” Hanna, a three-term congressman who represents the 22nd District in upstate New York, wrote in an op-ed for Syracuse.com that he disagreed with Clinton, but could not vote for a man who was “unrepentant in all things.” "Unrepentant in all things."  WTF is Hanna's logic?  A member of the LGBT Equality Caucus, Hanna has supported same-sex marriage since 2013. He’s voted against cuts to Planned Parenthood, and told a crowd of mostly women in 2012 to “contribute your money” to Democrats because they “speak out on your behalf.” Oh.  Right.

Helter Skelter Theory # 7

HELTER SKELTER                                                     CASHING IN?

“emergency situation ...” I had to take my vehicle to the mechanic the other day for service. The Service Manager, Pete, gave me a ride home and on the way he told me his theory about the upcoming election and the next four years of U.S. government. At first I thought it a bit far-fetched.  But as I listened to him it began to make sense, scary sense... “I believe that Hillary Clinton will win the election in November,” Pete began. “Then, sometime between November and January, Hillary will be indicted. The IRS is now investigating the Clinton Foundation and the whole e-mail thing isn’t over yet.” “Once under indictment she won’t be able to assume the Office of the President in January. Tim Kaine, who will not actually be the Vice President because neither he nor Hillary have been inaugurated, cannot assume the Presidency.   The Speaker of the House can’t move up to it because there is already a sitting President and Vice President. So President Obama, in an Executive Order citing “emergency situation,” gives himself another four years in office is the only way possible.” Pete believes Obama has been planning this for a while now, knowing he has enough on Hillary to indict her. Had the Attorney General indicted her based on evidence from the FBI this plan wouldn’t have worked because the DNC would have quickly come up with another candidate If you think about it, it’s not that outrageous. Many people on the left, including the President, want Obama to stay another four years. The law prohibits him from being re-elected so the only ways he can do it is by declaring martial law and suspending the election (which would be a very negative thing for the country) or to declare himself still President because the elected candidate cannot assume her duties. The latter makes more sense and is actually more feasible. And since it’s never been done before, it would set a precedent that would be difficult to challenge. Of course, if Trump wins the election none of this is going to happen. But what if Pete is correct? Four more years of Obama and a mostly useless Republican House and Senate would give Obama the time he needs to continue destroying changing the country to fit his stated goals. I thanked Pete for the ride home – and for messing up my day. Now I’ve got more things to worry about! It's been a great day! (Stu Tarlowe) Thanks Stu. The terrible part is we live in times where this is 50/50 on the "It Could Happen" scale.

It's our move, America

Terrorist Diaspora FBI Chief Warns ‘Terrorist Diaspora (the dispersion of any people from their original homeland)’ Will Come to the West Hundreds of terrorists will fan out to infiltrate western Europe and the U.S. to carry out attacks on a wider scale as Islamic State is defeated in Syria, FBI Director James Comey warned. “At some point there’s going to be a terrorist diaspora out of Syria like we’ve never seen before,” Comey said Wednesday in New York. “We saw the future of this threat in Brussels and Paris,” said the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, adding that future attacks will be on “an order of magnitude greater.” Comey’s blunt warnings echo those of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has scoffed at Obama administration efforts to defeat Islamic State extremists in Syria and Iraq. Nonetheless, the FBI chief’s comments reflect a consensus among U.S. intelligence officials that the group inevitably will strike out abroad as it continues to lose ground militarily under attack from a U.S.-led coalition… Comey, who called violence directed or inspired by Islamic State “the greatest threat to the physical safety of Americans today,” said that “a lot of terrorists fled out of Afghanistan in the late 1980s and early 1990s. This is 10 times that or more.” In his remarks at a conference on cybersecurity, Comey also cited the difficulty of heading off what are often called “lone-wolf” attackers acting on the group’s calls for violence. It is “increasingly hard” for counterterrorism officials to find and stop individuals inspired or directed by Islamic State who use a knife or a vehicle to kill people, Comey said. [Full] WHAT DO WE DO? Comey is of course is an Obama stooge, but his warning is one that,  for most of us anyway, is a "Duh" moment.  Here's the real dilemma for me.  There were approx  3.3 million Muslims of all ages living in the United States in 2015. Obama has made a point of increasing that population before he leaves office.  How do we identify who it is among that population we need protection from?  (Certainly any person who today announces conversion to Islam is a 99.45 % sure bet to be ISIS.) A recent poll showed  that approx. 50% of the U.S. Muslim population wanted Sharia law.  That means the other 50% have seemingly integrated into the American culture, and are good people.  It would then seem  that there are approx. 1.5 million Muslims who see the danger the others pose to their nation, and will proactively work with law enforcement and blow the whistle on that remaining ISIS recruiting pool.  Except, not.  I'll use the Medellín  drug cartel as an example.  Any one who posed a risk—police, judges, army; anyone—were told, "if you don't go along we will kill you, and your family."   ISIS won't give even that choice. Any in the community who are even precieved to be a threat will be killed. What's your next move?

DNC CAUGHT- AGAIN

DNC Caught Changing Dates On Donations The Redditor who discovered this find — “bananawhom” — explains what he thinks this means: Here’s how I think it works. Someone doesn’t give a max donation one year, say 2012. The difference between what they gave and the maximum is recorded as “debt.” So this guy “owes” them $2,500. He gives 33,400 but they take out $2,500 to apply to the “debt” and retroactively add it to a year he didn’t max out. This frees him up for another 2,500 in the current year. Depending on how corrupt they are, they could be free to collect all the “debt” from multiple previous years. This could be tens of millions of dollars they have effectively raised their total maximum fund raising by for this election. Someone who is in “debt” for not donating for the past 3 years could get in 4 times the maximum donation for this year, the very important election year. Wasserman’s spread sheet with the two different $ columns covers 2013, 14, 15. We can assume many Democrats maxed out for the 2012 election, but they would have “debt” from the less important years they may not have given as much that could be taken advantage of now. Nothing to add here boss.

KOCH MONEY

Conservative power brokers say no to Trump the saga

Conservative billionaire power broker Charles Koch said Monday he is not backing Donald Trump, claiming the presumptive Republican presidential nominee's principles are "antithetical" to his. In an interview at the Fortune Brainstorm Tech conference in Aspen, Colorado, Koch spoke about Trump and presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, saying: "I see two people that as of this point we're not supporting." [FULL] PREVIOUSLY  POSTED “(On Thursday, a spokesman for the Koch-funded political arm Freedom Partners sought to clarify their position, indicating it was unlikely the Kochs would support Clinton. Her “big-government” policies, the spokesman said, were out-of-step with their goals. (Politico) WHAT"S GOING ON? During the past five congressional campaigns (2006-14) Koch money went to President Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Dianne Feinstein, Mark Pryor, Chuck Schumer and other members of Congress. [Source] The Koch brothers are the Democrats’ public enemy No. 1. But there was a time not too long ago that billionaires Charles and David Koch were modest Democratic Party donors. Though the Kochs have poured untold millions into conservative and libertarian causes over the years, the political action committee for their privately held Koch Industries also has given money through the years to Democratic causes and candidates — including Mark Pryor, Mary Landrieu and Chuck Schumer — as part of the influence-peddling game that many corporations and wealthy donors play.  [Source]  OpenSecrets.org tallied the top donors in federal elections between 1989 and 2014. Koch Industries -- privately owned by the Evil Koch Bros -- is on the list, to be sure, but doesn't appear until the 59th slot, with $18 million in donations, 90 percent of which went to Republicans. So who occupies the 58 spots ahead of the Evil Koch Bros?  Six of the top 10 are ... wait for it ... unions. They gave more than $278 million, with most of it going to Democrats.
