#NotMyOscar

I had better things to do Sunday evening than watch the Academy Awards--like getting a good night's sleep.  Besides, I haven't seen a single movie on any of the best whatever lists. 

Anyway, I wasn't the only one who didn't tune-in:  Oscar ratings dip again amid best picture mix up.

The Hollywierdos showed their true colors--again--by cheering a statement read from the Iranian director who won best foreign picture, but boycotted the show. 
 
Iranian government henchmen were happy with the Oscars.

Yesterday, Sean Hannity's radio show recapped the Oscars's low points.

At least one conservative street artist mocked Hollywood with fake ads.

But then again, his art sum up the feelings a lot of us "deplorable" Americans have towards Hollyweird.

Breaking News: I-5 in Seattle Closed Due to Semi-Rollover

A semi carrying butane rolled over on I-5 earlier today, causing the highway to be shut down between I-90 and the West Seattle Bridge.

GNOTUS?

I finally finished reading my copy of TIME's Special Edition: Star Trek, Inside the Most Influential Science-Fiction Series Ever, which I purchased after attending a Star Trek exhibit in Seattle last year.

On page 59, this quote in big, bold blue letters caught my eye:

If Donald Trump were a Star Trek alien, he would be a Ferengi.

Ever since Trump tossed his hat in the ring, I've heard all sorts of criticisms about him--from the valid to the certifiably crazy.

I find this one funny, because for someone who wrote The Art of the Deal, along with heading a financial empire, the comment seems to apply rather nicely.

But I think the joke is on Time, as well as the artists of the pictures I used in this post.  I suspect none of them thought Trump would actually win.

But since he has, maybe it's time to change the presidential acronym from POTUS (President of the U.S.) to GNOTUS (Grand Nagus of the U.S.).

And since leftists have been invoking Godwin's Law on a daily basis since the election results were finalized, I'll be sure to refer to Trump as Grand Nagus Donolf Trumpler.

The Evergreen Sanctuary State

Despite Trump's attempt at reigning-in our illegal immigration problem, the president isn't the only person in government who can issue executive orders.

Governor Inslee signed one the other day limiting WA State's involvement with immigration enforcement.

Or, to put it another way, when fully translated from Newspeak:  WA State is now a sanctuary state.

Washington isn't the first, or only sanctuary state in the (dis)union, but it's looking like Adios America! one sanctuary state at a time.

Law & Laments: Snowflake Edition

During the eight-year Era of Hope and Change, leftists frowned upon America enforcing its own immigration laws.

They still do.  Some religious leaders are planning on forming an "underground railroad" for illegal aliens.

But despite their intent to harbor illegals, the rule of law has returned.

And not just in terms of immigration, but towards destructive temper tantrums thrown by the election's sore losers.

More than 200 Inauguration Day protesters were indicted on rioting charges.

Turning Point USA's Alana Mastrangelo was delighted to re-post one leftist's lament at being arrested and charged--but managed to get bailed out by his backers.

This may add a touch of credibility to the claim of paid protesters at town hall meetings.

As one online friend responded:

All that talk of backers -- sounds like conspiracy to me.  Can't wait to see the little babies turn over a list of names to save their own pathetic hides.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Why Don't Feminists Fight for Muslim Women?

Indeed.  Why don't feminists fight for Muslim women?

I stopped taking feminists seriously when they gave Bill Clinton a pass for the Monica Lewinsky Scandal.

Since then, they've formed an unholy alliance with the jihadists.

How feminist think they're striking a blow against "Trump's tyranny," or whatever, by siding with a totalitarian religious-political ideology is beyond me.  Especially since the end-game will be this:

And speaking of forcing women to keep their mouths shut, last week Sweden's lefty-feminist politician donned hijabs and chadors during a state visit to Iran.

It's kinda hard for western feminists to defend their Muslim sisters when they're too busy caving-in and catering-to the Muslim Patriarchy.

Trump's Tumultuous Relationship With the Press

Yesterday, Trump tweeted that the mainstream media is the enemy of the American people. 

Now my opinion of the leftist news outlets is very low, which I've clearly indicated on my posts over the years.  But I've used other adjectives to describe the press, saving "enemy" for the various jihadists, Iran, North Korea, etc.

Semantics aside, at least one CBS anchor admitted the press ruined its own reputation.

Boy did they ever.

The press has hit rock bottom, and ever since Election Day lefty journalists have been digging.

Jeff Crouere put it best:  Media lapdogs become rabid attack dogs.

And how.

Before heading to the gym this morning, I caught a headline about a proposal to mobilize the National Guard to round up illegal aliens.  I'm glad I didn't cut my workout short to read the article because it turned out AP blew it, although the story continued to trend on Facebook.

Whether the lefty journalists are true enemies-of-the-state, or are peddling in fake news, one thing is certain:  They don't like playing second-fiddle to conservative news outlets.

More Fuss and Feathers Over Flynn

(Image by Chip Bok)

Apparently there's an audio tape of Michael Flynn chatting with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian Ambassador to the US on 29 December 2016--the crux of the whole scandal--phony or otherwise.

I agree with Andrew McCarthy's recommendation:  Make the Flynn Tape public.

But to paraphrase McCarthy's article:  No one, from beauraucrats still loyal to Barry O to Team Trumpler, seems to be hell-bent on doing so, because the details or how the situation was (mis)handled may embarrass both sides.

As to how the hostile media got wind of all this, a former CIA analyst claimed Obamunists holdovers are behind the leaks.

The term deep state is being used a lot this past week.

Trump and Congress are gearing-up to find the leakers and make them pay a "big price."

Meanwhile:  Flynn plans to put up a fight...and...his successor decided not to take the job after all.

Fussing Over the Flynn Flap

Just before Valentine's Day, Trump's national security adviser, Michael Flynn, resigned,

The hoopla centered on the ex-national security adviser's contact with the Russian ambassador, and whether he lied to, or simply misled Pence & Trump.

This in-turn made it unclear if Flynn fibbed about other national security issues.

While I was out & about preparing to celebrate Valentine's Day with my wife, I would catch headlines about the chaos & confusion inside the Trump Tower White House.

Michelle Malkin reminds us of all the bumps in the road during Barry O's first 100 Days.

Trump though, is ticked off at apparent leaks from folks inside the intelligence community to the media.

Flynn may come under investigation by the Senate Intelligence Committee, which Charles Krauthammer called a cover up without a crime.

In the meantime, until the Flynn fallout settles, offered to Vice Admiral Robert Harward.

Hopefully, he'll last longer than his predecessor.

Valentine's Day Greetings for the Politically Incorrect

(Image from:  Some E-Cars--Workplace)

This year, I stumbled across conducted thorough research, with the help of Some E Cards, to use for Valentine's Day greetings, maybe with the added benefit of annoying snowflakes and PC commissars.

This on-line entertainment group has an extensive Valentine's Day selection you can misuse put to good use.
 

While most relationships seemed to have weathered the 2016 Presidential Election...

...but there's at least one case of a woman divorcing her husband of 22 years because he voted for Trump.

I guess among snowflakes, political ideology trumps marital vows.

Oh well. 

For everyone else not kicking their spouses and sweethearts to the curb:

Happy Valentine's Day!

Missile Mayhem

While leftists and conservatives play tug-of-war over Donolf Trumpler's anti-jihadist immigration executive order (EO), our nation-state adversaries haven't been idle.

Two weeks ago, Iran conducted another missile test in violation of another UN resolution.

Not wanting to be left out of the ICBM Club, this past weekend North Korea test fired a missile that splashed down somewhere between Korea and Japan.

I didn't expect "the usual suspects" to suddenly play nice with us because Trump won the election.

I'm not even going to speculate what Trump will do, or should do.

Just like repealing and replacing Obamacare...

...it will take time to undo the damage, at home and abroad, Barry O's Era of Hope & Change caused.
