The giant graft machine

First up when the Hildafelon is inaugurated as president and gets her paws on the giant graft machine known as the federal government is a new scheme to control private 401Ks, hopefully not older ones like mine but only the newer ones to come. With a built-in skim for the benefit of the Ruling Class.

“You would be forgiven for thinking that this sounds a lot like organized crime. That’s because it is organized crime, except the criminals write the laws, thus legalizing their plunder. This is a feature of the managerial state. It is the big rake. Instead of the criminals eluding the state in order to plunder the people, the criminals acquire credentials, which are a license to skim off a portion of middle class wealth. The whole point of winning office or gaining access is so you can get a taste of the skim.”

Which is what would make a Trump presidency so interesting. And so threatening to what the some call the administrative state but here the Z man calls the managerial state. Not to mention the whole Ruling Class.

‘Cause the billionaire conceivably wouldn’t need the skim the Hildafelon and Slick Willie need so bad they salivate at the very thought. Trump very likely would not play the game. You see now why the system is rigged?

Trump’s Proposed Presidential Actions

FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama

SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on his list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States

THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities

FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won’t take them back

FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.

No. 3 will be wonderfully entertaining to watch/hear in Austin—especially the howls.

If the dominant, i.e. Democrat news media would report on these and the rest of the policies Trump stated in his Gettysburg speech, he would win in a landslide. But of course they won’t. They’d rather talk about women who claim he fondled them. Gotta get the Hildafelon elected, you know.

Hillary the Totalitarian

As sometimes happens to me in some presidential election years, a common tater I thought I liked turned out to be a bit of a stooge. Thus with Kevin Williamson, a conservative Texan who writes for National Review. However, his thoughts on Felonia’s stated totalitarian plans for the Supreme Court if she’s elected are worth a shuddering look.

She began by arguing that the Supreme Court, and lesser federal courts, should be political partisans who take sides in disputes rather than adjudicate them according to the law. Many politicians — perhaps even most — believe that, or act in a way that suggests they do, but most of them feel at least the need to shamefacedly insist that judges are there to impartially apply the law. Not Mrs. Clinton. The Supreme Court that exists in her mind is the worst version of the highest judicial body, which is to say the American answer to Iran’s Guardian Council. The justices already wander into American-ayatollah territory too often, and it is only shame that constrains them. It is impossible to overstate the damage this is doing to our constitutional order, and to the legitimacy of the federal government itself.

“What is worse — if something can in fact be worse — is that Mrs. Clinton seeks to unmoor the Supreme Court from the Constitution in order to pursue her own repressive and self-interested political program, namely the censorship of publications, organizations, and institutions that are critical of her.”

One more reason, perhaps the best reason of all, to vote for President Trump.

Our federal Tammany Hall

Of course the election is rigged, as Trump complains (and probably will again tonight at the final “debate”) and Obama and Hillary and Bernie complained long before him, all of which is conveniently forgotten now. But more than that the whole system is rigged. We are not only a Banana Republic now, where the dominant news media is in bed with the regime and its chosen successors, we have a federal-level Tammany Hall.

As for the Hall’s infamous Boss Tweed, his successors now come and go under different names but all with the same aim, to make as much money off the lobby as they can, while doing its bidding, and ignore larger, public problems until they become so awful or at least so prominent that the Hall is forced to recognize their existence.

To wit: The bombing and arson of Trump campaign offices in North Carolina and Ohio. Followed by James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas’s uncovering of Democrat moves to disrupt Trump’s political rallies. “…deliberate, willful effort to foment violence, to break up a presidential campaign, [and] to intimidate voters,” in the words of Newt Gingrich. Meanwhile, the FBI is not moving to investigate. Nor the ATF. Most of the Republican Party is keeping mum.

But of course. When a candidate like Trump threatens the Ruling Class (mostly politicians and media types) anyone who backs him must expect trouble. And to be left to hang out to dry. Here in our part of Lefty land I have yet to see even one Trump yard sign. Not because people here won’t be voting for him, though probably not in sufficient numbers for him to carry the city of Austin (assuming the vote counting is clean, a big if), but because they don’t want their property trashed by the usual gangs of Liberal Fascists.

UPDATE:  Local supporters aversion to risking anti-Trump attacks makes sense.

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.

Obama the actor and Hillary the body double

The Z man is quite funny sometimes, and none more so than in these final days of the quadrennial presidential whizbang, the circus Felonia keeps skipping, sleeping her way through the campaign, and sending her body doubles out to debate Trump.

Who is ever more desperate to wipe off the slime the Democrat news media (80 to 85 percent of big media, as Rudy G. recently put it) keeps pouring on him.

“…the one thing about Bubba that we can probably say with certainty,” writes the Z man. “His entire life has been organized around getting laid….Hillary is different…For all anyone knows, she could be a head in a jar and those old fat women we see waddling around from time to time are just body doubles…All of her capers somehow involve her putting cash in her purse. Back in Arkansas, she was the one involved in the phony land deals, bank jobs and influence peddling. Today, she is the one running the money laundering operations, that necessitated the secret e-mail system…”

And Obama? Is he real or is he Memorex, as an old television ad once had it? The Z Man again: “Obama may as well be an actor, for as much as anyone knows about the guy. Even after all these years, his back story remains a mystery to most Americans. He’s simply the young version of  Morgan Freeman playing President in Deep Impact. Staff write his speeches, prepare him for the fake interviews they stage for the public and otherwise direct every aspect of his public performance.”

And he is incredbily boring. Even his cow of a wife, Moochele, is merely a creditable stand-in for Chewbacca. Better looking, maybe, in a way, than the other animals in Star Wars, but still a wookie.
