Astroturfing the inaugural protests

Posted on January 17, 2017 | 1 comment

Demand Protest, a San Francisco outfit, is running ads in dozens of cities offering up to $2,500 for persons willing to protest at Trump’s inauguration—plus health and dental insurance for those willing to add their bodies and voices to a year’s worth of similar protests.

“The website, which says that the company has provided 1,817 operatives for 48 campaigns, promises ‘deniability,’ assuring clients that ‘we can ensure that all actions will appear genuine to media and public observers.’”

As if a paid protester would care what the public thinks and the Democrat media, of course, will make the protests appear genuine for their own reasons.

Kicking out the “opposition party”

Posted on January 15, 2017 | 1 comment

I didn’t watch Trump’s news presser in which he called out CNN for fake news and scolded one of its correspondents, but I may start. A Republican who fights back against the Democrat news media? Amazing.

Now it seems future pressers will be held in a building adjacent to the White House instead of in it as the overpaid Democrat operatives are booted out.

That’s partly so Trump can expand the so-called press corps to include conservative bloggers and talk radio hosts. That will be a refreshing change. Finally we’ll see how much lying the Lame Stream Media does about these dog-n-pony shows. Of course they’re howling that the “people’s representatives” are being shown the door. Except they’re the only ones who think they represent us.

Indeed, “Are they representing us, the People, who, collectively, elected Trump, or are they representing the Democratic Party?” asks blogger Ann Althouse. “I don’t think the press — with respect to the Trump administration — represents the people. I think the statement ‘They are the opposition party’ is much more accurate. Too bad they did that to themselves. We could use a vigorous, professional press.”

During 35 years in the biz I long ago decided that a neutral news media probably is an impossibility but just integrating more conservatives in among the lefty-liberals of the big alphabet stations and the WaPo and NYSlimes would go a long way towards the goal. One Fox News, even one Breitbart, is not enough.

Mr. Charlie’s Airline

Posted on January 14, 2017 | 3 comments

It always amazes me the extent to which many Americans believe the CIA gives a damn about secrecy. Or has any credibility beyond the political. Of course they’re fighting Trump. They are the establishment and he is largely anti-establishment.

Most soldiers and civilians in Vietnam knew the CIA’s white helicopters on sight. Who else flew white helicopters? Exactly no one. Mr. Charlie’s Airline, some of us advisers to the South Vietnamese called the white birds, a reference not to the Victor Charles radio chatter terms for the Viet Cong, but to an old African-American label for an imperious and condescending white man in the age of slavery and segregation. You know, those Democrat Party institutions.

Mr. Charlie’s Airline not only flew its supposedly secrecy-conscious “agents” about the landscape of the war but also ferried their preferred private army, the so-called Provisional Reconnaissance Units (or PRUs) most of them turncoat North Vietnamese who usually struck small hamlets at night, terrorizing the people while rounding up supposed traitors to the South Vietnamese government.

Just a little tidbit on the Clumsy Intelligence Asses of our Deep State government, the real, un-elected government that occasionally raises its head whenever the establishment is threatened. You know, the folks who predicted 9/11?

Why Trump wants private security

Posted on January 4, 2017 | 2 comments

Well, for one thing the Secret Service has lately been known to spend its time whoring. Then, there’s this little tidbit.

“Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer suggested Tuesday night that U.S. intelligence agencies could “get back at” President-elect Donald Trump after he questioned the legitimacy of the intelligence community’s probe into Russian involvement in the hacking of Democratic party officials.”

Remember the good old days when the bureaucracy was bi-partisan? Me neither.

Worth remembering

The United Nations building, also known as the home of the World Dictator’s Club, was built atop a mound of rotting garbage. How very appropriate.

Back in 2008, the under-mound, delicately known as the Turtle Bay landfill, was pumping out methane when disturbed. Wonder what it would pump out by now, eight years later, eh?

Some have joked, after the WDC’s recent Obama-backed condemnation of Israel, that President Trump’s empire should tear down the 40-story building and put up condos. But, considering the garbage, perhaps not…

Bruce Springstoned

Never cared much for his music and absolutely can’t stand him and his ridiculous pose as a simple Jersey working lad. And I’m doubling down on both now that he’s spouting the sham lefty meme about Trump’s alleged bigotry and lies.

“‘I’ve felt disgust before, but never the kind of fear that you feel now,’ Springsteen said of Trump… ‘It’s as simple as the fear of, is someone simply competent enough to do this particular job? Forget about where they are ideologically. Do they simply have the pure competence to be put in the position of such responsibility?'”

You’re pretty stupid Mr. Springstoned, if you think a man who made himself a billionaire doesn’t have “pure competence.” You leftist moron. You toad.

Rule 5: Jenn Purvience

Time for a break from politics, as Wormtongue rounds out his eight years of mendacity, by trying to lock Trump up in policy and regulatory chains. I doubt he’ll succeed, since he’s failed at so much else.

Meanwhile, back to my favorite plus-sized models: like Ms. Purvience here. And a pleasurable and productive new year to one and all. At least we know the economy will improve.
