Border Crisis and Continued Government Shutdown

(Image by Henry Payne)

Earlier this week, Our Grand Nagus addressed the nation on border security, making his case to fund The Wall.

Of course, Schumer and Pelosi made a televised counter-speech, which became instant meme-fodder.  Townhall determined two of the most popular memes.

The day after the dueling speeches, Trump met with Chuck & Nancy for a few minutes--literally.

So we remain at an impasse both on border security and the government shutdown.

Meanwhile, the non-FOX News media sided with Chuck & Nancy claiming the border crisis is "fake news." However, even the WaPo concedes there is, in fact, a crisis along the border.

Despite this concession, most of the media is throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks.

Several conservative commentators were relieved Our Grand Nagus didn't declare a state of emergency.  (See Guy Benson's Good, Bad & Ugly about the stalemate).

Of course, Dimocrats and the snowflake minions have flipped-out over the notion.

However, according to at least one law professor, Trump the Usurper does have the power to declare a national emergency--thanks in large part due to Democrats acquiescing power to the Executive Branch over the years.

Chuck & Nancy's lies about the border may have been detrimental to their cause:  Population Replacement. 

But it's not just Dimocrats, left-wing media, and assorted SJWs.  Plenty of RINOs don't want the wall either.

In other words, lots of folks in "The Swamp" fear a change in the status quo.

The "Truth" Behind Brexit

One of the movies Social Justice Whiners across the pond will have to look forward to this year is:  Brexit.  (See attached trailer above).

This is suppose to expose the "truth" behind the UK's decision to leave the European Union (EU).

Translation:  Her Majesty's subjects were duped into voting for a British Exit, or "Brexit" from the EU-ocracy by a social media savvy con-man.

What caught my eye about this YouTube post was there were 9.8K "thumbs-up" vs. 1.5K "thumbs-down" over this movie trailer.

You'd think a 9:1 approval rating would reflect in the comments section.

Not so.  Or at least not that I've seen.

Every comment below the one I made was negative and disparaging, or at least wondering if this was a joke.

It makes me wonder who--or what--is giving this movie trailer nearly 10 thousand thumbs-up.

Bots?  NPCs?

One would assume that potential viewers of Brexit--the movie--and supporters of the "People's Vote," a 2nd Referendum on Brexit--the democratic vote--would also post their views on this matter.

Meanwhile, long before the leftist, anti-Brexit propaganda film gets aired, a number of commentators have already given us the truth--without quotation marks--

--Back in March 2018, Nigel Farage explained why Britain left the European Union.

--In October, Pat Condell didn't spare anyone's feelings over the "Crybaby Vote."

--And a week before Christmas David Cullen also explained Brexit and the laughable People's Vote Campaign.

While the Brexit issue may have little direct impact on the lives of us American conservatives, we certainly understand the plight of our British cousins.  We've been experiencing similar public and political tantrums ever since Crooked Queen Hillary's coronation was derailed by Trump the Usurper in the 2016 Presidential Election.

Leftists--on both sides of the Atlantic--are sore losers, or "Regressives" as many of us like-minded folks are calling them.

Dimocrats Deaf on Defending Americans

(Image by A.F. Branco)

The day after Christmas 2018, Corporal Ranil Singh of the Newman CA PD was shot and killed by an illegal immigrant while conducting a traffic stop.

A timeline of the shooting and the arrest of the killer along with several accomplices has been provided by ABC News.

One would think in this case, where a naturalized-American police officer shot and killed by an illegal alien would make the "Dimtards" (formerly known as Democrats) realize our country needs the border wall Our Grand Nagus promised us.

Think again.

Not one CA Dimtard politician mentioned Cpl Singh's name.

But, hey.  What's a few more dead Americans if it means the Dimtards can score a few more political points?

So build The Wall already!

And please, no more "border security."

Turmoil Over Trump's Trip to Troops

(Image by Mike Lester)

Okay, I know I went overboard on this post's alliterative title.  But I couldn't think of another story that qualified as an End-of-Year-What-the-Fuck, than Our Grand Nagus' surprise visit to our troops overseas.

The basic timeline was this--

--The lamestream media criticized Trump on Christmas Eve and Christmas for not visiting the troops in .  

--Then on the day after Christmas, when Our Gran Nagus showed up unexpectedly in Iraq, they lambasted him for visiting the troops.

Actually, the Ministry of Truth (a.k.a. left-wing media) went full Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Here are some examples of the symptoms--

--The cabal at CNN called Trump The Grinch Who Stole Christmas (I'm surprised they didn't say "The Holidays").

--There was the claim that Trump the Usurper violated ethics and campaign laws.

--And anytime Our Super-Model-in-Chief goes on such outings with her hubby, she comes under fire from misogynist, hypocritical commentators (personally, I think they're jealous she so stunning, classy and accomplished).

Conservative reaction to this latest outbreak of Trump Derangement Syndrome was swift--

--Tomi Lahren pointed out that the Left hates that our troops love Trump.

--White House spokesgal Sarah Huckabee condemned CNN for going after the troops.

--Jason Chaffetz, subbing-in for Sean Hannity, reminded viewers about the media silence when Obama signed personal items for the troops.

--Author and veteran Sean Parnell slammed the media for slamming Trump's visit.

--I like how Mark Steyn compared the FOBs (Forward Operating Bases) as dreary Crusader Forts.

--David Cullen could see this latest round of Trump Derangement Syndrome all the way from his home/studio in Ireland.

To finish this post in a flourish, one of my friends posted Curt Schilling's scathing retort to a triggered Ken Fitzgerald:

Happy New Year and best wishes to all of you in 2019!

Government Shutdown Showdown Over The Border Wall

(Image by Michael Ramirez)

When the bells tolled midnight (EST) this past Friday, about a quarter of the US Government shut down.

The cause?

The impasse between Democrats and Republicans over funding the border wall between the US and Mexico.

Chucky Schumer offered to end the shutdown--Republicans abandoned funding for the wall.  Chucky claimed Democrats support REAL border security.

Yeah, right.  I guess this "real border security" kicks in when a arrested and deported more than 10 times.  That and the "Dimocrats" would rather pick a fight with the DHS Secretary (and threaten further scrutiny once they assume control of the House next month).

Now to be fair, the Republicans had to be cajoled into supporting the border wall funding.

There's been so much feet-dragging that the fiery Ann Coulter called Trump a gutless president in a wall-less country.  (Keep in mind Coulter was one of the earliest to predict Trump's rise to the presidency).

She wasn't the only one.  Michelle Malkin also slammed the GOP for wimping out on the wall.

At least the Republicans pretend to care about real border security.

Mark Rubio made an apt analogy by comparing the border security to TSA's airport security.

Which is something commentator Mark Steyn has been sounding off about for years now.  That instead of encasing public/tourist areas in bollards and barricades we extend the barricades to the border.

Of course the Ministry of Truth has blamed the Tyranny of Talk Radio (and FOX News) for the shutdown.

But Liz Wheeler pointed out that just over half of the American people want a border wall.

And Tucker Carlson explained that Democrats have stopped caring about the American people in order to gain permanent political power.

Gaining an maintaining power behind their own gated communities.

The Diplomad suggested anyone against the wall should live in a door-less house.

Democrat politicians aren't the only ones wanting to open the City Gates to the invaders.  Social Justice Whiners (SJWs) and snowflakes are throwing in their lots with the illegal aliens.

A GoFundMe campaign has raised $60K to buy ladders for illegal aliens to use in scaling the border wall.

At least there's a Christmas Miracle in response to the collaborators' attempt to circumvent border security:  A GoFundMe campaign to build the border wall surged past $13M.

Let's hope that Our Grand Nagus does more this Christmas Season than "turn on the White House lawn sprinklers."

And that the government shutdown goes against the Dimocrats.

SJW's Anti-Christmas Fetish Naughty List

(Image by Mike Lester)

We're two weeks away from Christmas, and Social Justice Whiners (SJWs) have been as busy as Santa's elves concocting new ways to be offended.

Even the term "Christmas" can trigger a snowflake meltdown, and I'm not talking about the frozen water kind either.

Two years ago, Dennis Prager, who's Jewish, believes the change from wishing people a "Merry Christmas" to "Happy Holidays" is a significant development in our culture.

Not only is his observation true today, but it's intensified.

This post will be the "Christmas movie" version, since all the links are to YouTube videos.

First off, feminists at an interior decorating magazine had visions of The Handmaid's Tale dancing in their heads when our Supermodel-in-Chief selected red Christmas trees for the White House.  Liz Wheeler told SJWs to get a life.

Then the Huffington Post claimed that the classic stop-action cartoon Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was racist.

While leftists are missing the point about Rudolph that hasn't stopped them.

One radio station in Cleveland had the "courage" to ban the song "Baby It's Cold Outside."

I find it ironic that the same leftists who brought us moral decay starting with "free love" in the '60s right up through today's "hook-up culture," are now our self-appointed moral guardians.

Here's two movie versions of this delightfully choreographed duet.

And while we're on the topic of song & dance routines, a NYT editorial found fault with the Big Apple's Radio City Rockettes.  (Spoiler Alert:  Too many white-girl performers, and too many white people in the audience).

It's not enough for SJWs to inflict a "death of a thousand cuts" onto our Christmas cheer.  Some Scrooges want to eradicate all symbols of Christmas--even the colors red and green, like this Nebraska elementary school principal. At least this story has a "silver bells" lining--the She-Grinch has been put on an involuntary leave of absence.

Not to sound pessimistic though, this may be a mere holding action.  The current batch of snowflakes attending indoctrination centers (formerly known as "colleges" and "universities"), think it's a grand idea to ban all references to Christmas from campus, lest someone is made to feel "uncomfortable."

Note: 

The cartoon by Mike Lester I used for this post might seem out of place in regards to the topic.  It was the only one close enough to be considered suitable. When I Googled "War on Christmas political cartoons" all the images were by leftist cartoonist who considered the topic to be a fake news, storm in a tea cup that conservatives freak out over.  (And we know Google is run by leftists).

Yeah, go to a college campus, or public school, wish everyone a Merry Christmas, instead of Happy Holidays, and see who does the freaking out.

Hypocrisy Over George H.W. Bush's Passing

(Image by A.F. Branco)

Earlier this week, George H. W. Bush was laid to rest.

It was nice to see the Clintons, Trumps, and Bushes get along during the funeral, especially Dubya and Michelle O; while politicians set aside their partisanship to honor our 41st President--even for a moment.

(Image by Bob Gorrell)

However, there is a hint of hypocrisy from weeping leftists--the same leftists who vilified Bush the Elder when he was alive.

Or as Kurt Schlichter pointed out:  The only good Republican is a dead Republican.

For the most part, I liked Bush the Elder, but like The Diplomad and the crew at Stilton's Place, I didn't agree with everything he said and did.  (Heck, I don't agree with everything Our Grand Nagus says or does, but I'm delighted he makes pearl-clutchers' collective heads explode!).

But overall, he was a decent man and a decent president.

Too bad leftists didn't realize that when he was alive...

Clash at US-Mexican Border

(Image by A.F. Branco)

Well, it was bound to happen.

Over Thanksgiving Weekend, about 1,000 members of the Honduran Horde attempted to rush the border and were treated to tear gas for their attempted assault.

Of course, leftists were triggered by our border response.  One senator initially tweeted about our heinous use of "chemical weapons." 

I was on duty last night, and among the network news agencies covering this story, only FOX News mentioned the border breachers were throwing rocks.

Brittany Hughes reminded us that If you storm our border and assault our agents, you're not an immigrant--you're an INVADER.

What truly isn't being reported are the following--

--That the Honduran Horde is comprised mostly of military-aged males (MAMs); and

--The Honduran Horde is being supported by far-left groups in the US.

I'm afraid we'll see more of this activity--on both sides of the border--for the foreseeable future.

Florida's Ballot Recount Fiasco (And Then Some)

(Image by A.F. Branco)

Well, once again the Banana Republic of Broward County, Florida, is in the epicenter of a voting scandal of it's own making.

Where to start?

Let's see:

Back in 2012, almost 200,000 non-citizens may have voted.

Fast forward to the 2018 Midterm Elections, and we have court orders being ignored, reporters threatened and the mixing-up of rejected provisional ballots with good ones.

What the hell is a "provisional ballot," and how has Brenda Snipes managed to keep her job for so long?  I mean even if she's a bona fide Democratic operative, (which personally I think she is), she's a poor one for always drawing public attention to her misdeeds/ineptitude.

Despite the Democrat shenanigans, odds appear to be favorable that Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis will win their respective races. That is, if his campaign can survive the upcoming lawsuits by activist groups.

Florida isn't the only state mired in midterm corruption.  Democrats claim they've uncovered a treasure trove of "surprise ballots."

Maybe they were provisional ballots shipped-in from Florida.

And not wanting to be left-out in the litigation feeding-frenzy, the Georgia Democrat governor wannabee Abrams filed her own lawsuits.

The Diplomad, who's observed elections in various countries, can't guarantee ours are "fair & balanced," (along with comment about the French president's claim that nationalism is evil).

So the Democrat election formula is this:  Demand recounts until the Democrat candidate is declared the winner, and if that doesn't work--file a lawsuit.

"Komissar Al-Blogunov" of The People's Cube posted a rousing article encouraging comrades to find your missing [Democrat] ballots!

And just as I was finishing this post, there was more bad news:  former fighter pilot conceded to tutu-wearing activist in the Arizona Senate race.

Snapshot of 2018 Midterm Elections

(Image by A.F. Branco)

Well, most of the results of yesterday's midterm elections are in.

As of now it looks like Dems are poised to take the House of Representatives while the GOP will retain the Senate.

Which of course means the Dems will spend their time, 24/7, conducting probes into our Grand Nagus.

Here in WA State, Dems continue to hold sway in the metropolitan areas, west of the Cascade Mountains.

What's particularly bleak is that a state-wide gun control initiative (I-1639) passed.

I'm not going to go out and "scream helplessly to the sky." But I'm certainly disappointed about the GOP losing the House of Representatives, and I-1639 being passed.

We'll probably see more "wreckage" of this election in the upcoming two years, and maybe beyond that...

Countdown to 2018 Midterms

(Image by Pat Cross)

This election is anything but normal.

That’s putting it mildly.

I’ve never seen such focus and passion over a midterm election.  Ever.

Last week, Our Grand Nagus hit the campaign trail to rally Republican/conservative voters.

Various polls show the Pachyderm Parade leading in the early voting.  But on the other hand, there's concern that leftists will turn out on Election Day, and that Independents are leaning Democrat.

But there is more cautiously optimistic news, in the form of Democratic campaign strategy backfiring:  Beto O'Rourke staffers appear to be planning on funding the Illegal Alien Caravan.

(Image by: A.F. Branco)

And then there's the Millennials.  About two-thirds of them say they plan on hitting the "snooze button" on Election Day

I certainly don't want to see the Democrats back in the majority.  Especially after two years of public tantrums (pick any day of the week), witch hunts (the Russia Collusion Investigation and a show trial (the Kavanaugh Hearings).

So I encourage all you like-minded folks to get out and vote.

I hate to sound melodramatic and that "the fate of the nation is at stake,"  but the alternative is rather stark.
