I’m Libertarian!

Posted on April 12, 2016 | 1 comment

According to this presidential candidate poll, I am. Which I warn you will take about 15 minutes to complete, unless you’ve already thought about most of what is asked. I had not.

My own answers led to four Libertarians I never heard of: Austin Petersen, Gary Johnson, John McAfee and Marc Allen Feldman. Pity they have no chance.

Of the more likely candidates I side best with our Ted Cruz, followed closely by Trump. The Hildabeast is 30 points south of Trump in my poll results, and Bernie is 32. I don’t side with her on any major issues and him only on some foreign policy ones. Not a surprise.

Via Curmudgeonly and Mouth of the Brazos, who both came down with Cruz first.

The Climate Schuck in Brief

Posted on April 1, 2016 | 3 comments
Via 

With time, the description has become more accurate:

1. Global Cooling

2. Global Warming

3. Climate Change

4. Give Us the Damned Money

Meanwhile, in the blue states, the reigning Democrats are going to pretend their constituents really don’t need cheap electricity or gasoline. Oh, yeah, that’ll fix the economy. Dammit. More economic refugees fleeing to Texas!

Obama Jama

Posted on March 28, 2016 | 3 comments

Jama is the popular Cuban word for food, something Cubans are chronically short of at the moment. So many of them hope our Little Barry Hussein will make it easier for them to get it.

“People want Saint Obama to work miracles. They have placed candles on his altar and said a prayer that he will bring them the prosperity promised by others for more than half a century. For many families, the most anticipated marvel is summarized in it being easier to get a plate a food, a desire expressed in the street with every possible rhyme that joins Obama’s name and the popular word for food: jama.”

Good luck with that, folks, all he and his party have brought us is higher taxes, more regulations on business and consumers and, uh, higher food prices.

The climate shuck may go to court

Posted on March 10, 2016 | 3 comments

“Attorney General Loretta Lynch testified Wednesday that the Justice Department has ‘discussed’ taking civil legal action against the fossil fuel industry for ‘denying’ the ‘threat of carbon emissions’ when it comes to climate change.”

Presumably meaning the coal (electricity) and oil (cars) industries. Oh, goody. More economic downturn, higher prices, lower wages. You name it.

UPDATE:  The Communist News Network tells Rubio of his criticism of passing  a law to change the weather: heretics to the wall!

Hating Trump

Posted on March 6, 2016 | 4 comments

Boy, the liberals and the RINOs really, really hate Trump. And. oh yeah, they don’t like his closest rival, our Ted, either. The liberals of course want the Hildabeast and her consort Slick Willie in the White House. The RINOs act like, if they can’t have Jeb to continue the Bush dynasty, they’d just as soon forgo an election and hand the Hildabeast the crown.

I think the real reason for Trump’s popularity is the growing number of Americans on both sides who hate D.C., PC, more federal regulations, more welfare, and higher taxes. And I don’t believe that they or Trump are any more fascist than our Little Barry Hussein is a Muslim. That’s good old American political hysteria in action. And that’s all it is.

Our coming political earthquake

Posted on February 28, 2016 | 4 comments

It took ’em almost eight long years of our Little Barry Hussein and his lying ways, but even the onetime Democrat believers have had enough of the sorry economy outside of Texas. And the Republicans? Hey, even the evangelicals of South Carolina voted for Trump over Our Ted.

“…most analysts were shocked that Trump won a majority of evangelical voters over Ted Cruz. They didn’t understand (some still don’t) that these are the same voters who supported Mike Huckabee in 2008 and Rick Santorum in 2012, and they’re tired of losing. These voters hear Trump shouting about strength and winning — and they run toward the light for the win, ignoring the consequences.

“…That means two wealthy New Yorkers [if you can call the Hildabeast a real New Yorker], neither particularly well liked in their parties, will conduct ruthless, calculated campaigns aimed at each other’s personal destruction in the hope that the electorate will find both so repulsive that they refuse to vote and only the candidates’ hardcore bases will show up.”

That sounds about right. Except that with Trump we might get a reinvigorated economy. Con man or not he knows how money is made. Stolen, too, but also made. The Hildabeast and Slick Willie, who never earned a dime in their lives, will be too busy stealing White House furnishings to give it a try.

The case for The Donald

Posted on February 17, 2016 | 4 comments

While we’re swiping stuff from author Kurt Schlichter ( a former Army infantryman, no less, which obviously appeals to me), let’s do up his case for nominating and electing President Donald Trump.

As I often say, a floor mop would be better than the Hildabeast. And you should add in that bum-who-wants-your-money Bernie. But the Thumper? Well, consider…

“Most of Trump’s supporters are good people, patriotic Americans burned by an elite that sees their misery as collateral damage in a coastal, urban-led struggle for feel-good progressive change and personal enrichment.  The positive, optimistic, even Reaganesque language Trump uses when describing the future speaks to them – and Trump is the first major American figure in a long time to speak to them of hope and with respect.

“Mostly the culture lectures them on their stupidity for not having attended Harvard, their selfishness for not wanting to support welfare cheats with their hard work, and their unforgivable, innate racism for having a great-great-great-great-great grandfather who came from the British Isles.  These are the Americans who built this country, who fought for it, and who died for it, and until Trump came along, all they ever were was dumped on.”

Hear, hear. Not to mention that Trump is a capitalist. Capitalists know how to make money and so are bound to know how to support an economy that helps people make money. Unlike what we’ve had for almost eight years under Little Barry Hussein. Also known as President Fail. The man who couldn’t find his economic ass with both hands.

Read. It. All.
