The following is an excerpt from a California Senate Resolution, (CR 39), dated September 10, 2015 where the Senate is resolved to condemn the speech of Donald Trump *and* divest of any and all of Donald Trump’s businesses and its affiliates in California. Apparently, Donald Trump exercising his First Amendment Right is tweaking the noses of (ALL!) California Democrat State Senators, who voted in favor of this Resolution. (Most Republicans abstained. I’m wondering who didn’t?) Interestingly, by deigning to associate in a quasi-positive manner with The Donald, Ted Cruz’s name was originally included as part of this condemnation.
At our peril…
“Forgetfulness occurs when those who have been long inured to civilized order can no longer remember a time in which they had to wonder whether their crops would grow to maturity without being stolen or their children sold into slavery by a victorious foe.” – Lee Harris, Civilization and Its Enemies: The Next Stage of … Read more
Susan Olsen Talks to Peter St. James about Veto Overrides and More!
Susan Olsen doesn’t hold back when talking with Peter St. James on WTPL 107.7 about veto overrides coming up this week… this is a must listen!!!
European Muslim Invasion – happening too fast and too many
I reject the idea that it’s “racist” to want to preserve one’s national culture and character (especially in language), or to favor bona fide citizens for gainful employment…. National boundaries will be defended. Sentimentalists will have to step aside. History is not a bedtime story about bunnies and kittens.
(H/T: Powerline). Problem with the above, our “elites” consider this oh so old fashioned and unenlightened.
It certainly has been quite hard to keep up with what seems to be a massive tsunami of muslim migrants news coming out of Europe. Given the number of NON-Syrian “refugees”, what we are seeing are mostly men looking for a better life without following The Rule of Law – an abstract notion from whence they come so one should be rightly concerned whether or not this vital aspect of Western Liberalism (or should that be “formerly”?) will be inculcated. Along with other Western ideals – which, pretty much, are hated in the muslim world. So what does this portend?
Remember The Media Coverage of Below Normal Temperatures in July?
The media has many weapons. Among them “are such diverse elements as… fear, surprise, ruthless inefficiency, and a almost fanatical devotion to the narrative.” May the Pythons forgive me for the editorial license, but then this is a story about editorial license.
It’s about the weather, dummy, or is that FOR the weather-dummy? Once respected institutions like NASA and the NOAA, the NCDC and others, take what every meteorologist and climatologist can see in the live data then, to quote Dr. Roy Spencer,
WTF: Senate Republicans – Losing is Winning
It was a busy week for the call sign Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. We had five or six solid contenders. But did this one take the crown? Senate Republicans fumble a show-vote on the Iran Treaty then declare a day later that losing is winning. GrokTALK! is a Mobile-Ready Broadcast You can also get this weeks … Read more
Is ‘The Iran Deal’ Right For You?
Side Effects include… H/T Warner Todd Huston c/o Publius Forum [David] Zucker has created a new website called www.iransideeffects.com that you HAVE to see. The video is a pastiche of all those crazy drug commercials that tell potential customers about the horrible side effects of the drug.
Climate Change: about the Benjamins rather than by Degree
Shot:
Poor nations want U.S. to pay reparations for extreme weather
…Preparatory talks ahead of the United Nations Conference on Climate Change to be held in Paris in December has representatives from developing nations asking for more than an already agreed upon $100 billion per year for climate change mitigation measures. They want additional compensation for weather-related disasters as well as a “displacement coordination facility” for refugees. And they want all this to be legally binding as part of the larger anticipated Paris accord.
The U.S. and wealthier nations in the European Union are balking.
The $15 min wage spawns automated restaurant
We’ve written a lot about raising the minimum wage by Government fiat is unwise, silly, and an appropriation of private citizens’ private property. By arbitrarily demanding that shopkeepers and small biz owners give low skilled workers something close to a “living wage” is nothing more than: Ignoring basic economic law (like the Law of Gravity) … Read more
Greg Gutfield – observation on Trump vs Jeb
I had noted this a bit ago and it still seems to hold true as the discussion is STILL about Trump vs Jeb: It is a great contrast between trump and Jeb. You’ve got a proud vocal RINO and you have Jeb. But it is like when you look at them together, it’s like comparing … Read more
College Students: why were we attacked on 9/11/01?
Sad, really sad, given the major effects it has had on the US over the last 14 years: Question: why does it have to be taught in the classroom – given that every years since the attack the US has de facto set aside “memorial time” to reflect on who did the attack and the … Read more
Hillary is sorry…maybe….maybe not….sorta…..perhaps….crap, why can’t I get away from this!!!
Hmmm, a mixed pair, Bill and Hillary: “I did not have sex with that server” (H/T: Powerline)
The R base is WELL past the word “disappointed”
This is not the “surprise” we were looking for. (H/T: Powerline)
Trump Claims he’ll deport all Illegals within 2 years but won’t provide Details
Notable Quote – Howie Carr
The mainstream media goes crazy about Trump’s latest remark, tasteless as it was, and most of the voters immediately remember the absolute lack of outrage whenever a Democrat says something as bad, or worse. – Howie Carr (reporter, syndicated columnist, author, and Radio Hall of Fame talk show host). Dunno if “most of the … Read more
The Rule of Law – has it been transformed as well? Or just “disappeared”?
Certainly that has been much spilled on the Left about Town Clerk Davis “not following the Law” (and yes, much discussion on the Right as well, tempered with religious liberty), yet as this from the OC Register points out, it is under this Leftist administration, the Rule of Law for those in power seems to have been diminished in the light of that Party’s name and hyper-partisanship that is existent right now (emphasis mine):
The most disturbing aspect of the scandal around Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server during her tenure as secretary of state is not the former first lady’s penchant for secrecy. . . .What’s truly unsettling is that it has been widely taken as read among both the media and the general public that Mrs. Clinton will likely avoid serious legal consequences for her behavior because the Justice Department is ultimately answerable to President Obama – and Democrats will not use the instruments of government to destroy one of their own. Whether that eventually proves true, the sentiment itself reveals a troubling trend in American politics. . . .
Already, her aide-de-camp Huma Abedin (wife to pervert Anthony Weiner, disgraced Congressman who texted naked pictures of himself) has been summarily cleared by Obama’s DOJ on a number of counts – you really think her boss is going to be indicted? How about the IRS and the cover ups over the Lois Lerner’s targeting of the TEA Party? Or Fast and Furious? Or now, the EPA’s toxic mistake at the Gold King mine release of 3 million gallons of mine waste to the Animas river, used for irrigation and potable water – anyone even going to get fired for this?
I doubt it – to the winner goes the political spoils or so it seems.
These are the people that Germany, Austria, and France WANT to come?
Rather, in a lot of cases, it is the leadership of those countries that are opening the door – not the ordinary people that will have these “migrant refugees” in their faces. Leadership will safely be behind gates, government edifices, and armed guards. One person tells their tale of her first
“Half an hour ago on the border between Italy and Austria i saw a huge crowd of immigrants. With all solidarity to people in difficult circumstances I have to say that what I saw arouses horror.This huge mass of people – sorry – but it’s an absolute wilderness … Vulgar, throwing bottles, shouting “We want Germany”. So what, Germany is now a paradise?
I saw an elderly Italian woman in a car that was surrounded by the immigrants. They pulled her by the hair out of the car and wanted to use it to go to Germany. They tried to topple the bus i was in. They threw feces at us, banging on the door for the driver to open it, spat on the glass. My question is- for what purpose? How do they want to assimilate in Germany? For a moment, i felt like in a warzone. I really feel sorry for these people, but if they would reach Poland – I do not think they would receive any understanding from us.
These are the kind of “assimilating” refugees
