No, just no

Much as I like candy corn and as thankful as I am for my blood sugar levels that its mainly available this time of year, candy corn beer sounds just too, too awful.

Rule 5: Barbis defending Trump

barbitwins

They’re older now, 25 years later, but still gorgeous and, by the way, defending Trump as a gentleman with a trashy mouth but a gentleman nonetheless.

“‘It is frightening the way the media can ruin someone’s image with accusations like the ones leveled against Trump,’ Shane Barbi, now 53, said. ‘While I never want to dismiss a woman’s claim of sexual abuse, in our personal experience we saw no indication that Donald Trump would do anything like that. On the contrary, he was a perfect gentleman to us, and to all of those other beautiful women that were all over him.'”

They say, however that they are voting for Jill Stein and the Green Party.

Rules of the Democrat news media

The rules are never clearer than in the final weeks before a presidential election.

Our Banana Republic

“The whole country should be frightened by what has transpired with the collusion between the media and [the] Clinton campaign. The end result is that we are no longer a free country. How can you be free when the mainstream media and one candidate that they favor work together to destroy their opponent. Hate to sound apocalyptic but the foundation of our democracy is crumbling and the people should be out in the streets.” —commenter Kevin Barone at WSJ.com

A fair number (tens of thousands, at least) are in the streets, if you count the crowds at Trump rallies. This news media-Democrat party collusion has been going on for decades. It’s only now more blatant than ever and thus scarier than ever. And even the Dictator’s Club, aka the UN, is joining in to back Felonia.

Pass the bananas.

Party transformations

I often quote commenters at the Wall Street Journal’s site because they are so good. Comes one Joel Lumer to outdo them all. He underscores the obvious (but rarely spoken) impending transformation of our major political parties.

“…the Democrat Party has become the party of the rich, financial elites, political and media establishments, nomenklatura and bureaucratic apparatchniks. What the pundits are missing is that Republican party is transforming into a party of the working class and [what’s left of the] middle class…

“The new Republican voter sees that the S&P 500 index went from 670 in March 2009 to 2100 in 2016, while the median household income remained flat – and says something is wrong. They no longer want the old pros. They want someone who can represent people who ride the bus, shop at WalMart, eat at McDonalds, and take their clothes to the laundromat.”

And, I would add, someone who sees that the system is rigged against them and says it loud and clear. We’ll soon see whether there are enough of them to make him president.

The News War on Trump

confession-bear-2016-10-12-at-06-27-31-pm

The Nobody But Clinton network held the Trump pussygate tape for at least 2 months, until two days before the 2nd debate, when it would do him the most damage. Pravda, of the old Soviet Union, couldn’t have done it better.

UPDATE: Nothing unusual here, really. Nor the “new” allegations of Trump’s years old molesting of women. It’s all part of the MSM’s permanent smear campaign for Republican presidential nominees. They do this every four years.

Pussygate’s real motive

The Z man has it right:

“Watching one traitorous fink after another decry Trump’s locker room talk from a decade ago, I was reminded once again that these people were never on my side. It was always a con, a grift, to fool otherwise decent people into putting down their weapons and surrendering to the Left. Buckley-style conservatism, whatever it was, is now just a tool of the managerial class to clear the field for nation-wrecking policies to benefit the ruling elite at the expense of the middle class.”

Meanwhile, the NYT is at it again, now publicizing two women who claim Trump molested them—in one case more than 30 years ago. The Trump campaign is hotly denying the story and threatening to sue the newspaper for defamation.

“‘…for this to only become public decades later in the final month of a campaign for president should say it all,’ Trump’s senior communications adviser, Jason Miller, said in a statement.”

No kidding. Trump might not win a lawsuit but it’s a good, combative tactic to sue these Democrat operatives disguised as journalists. This is, after all, war.
