Thought crimes

It hasn’t come to this yet. Pubic shaming by the media is the preferred option. But give it time.

What are you in for?’ said Winston.
‘Thoughtcrime!’ said Parsons, almost blubbering. The tone of his voice implied at once a complete admission of his guilt and a sort of incredulous horror that such a word could be applied to himself.
….

Are you guilty?’ said Winston.
‘Of course I’m guilty!’ cried Parsons with a servile glance at the telescreen. ‘You don’t think the Party would arrest an innocent man, do you?’

Orwell foresaw it all.

Laws are for the little people

Not for the ruling class. And certainly not for the Hildabeast who walks free despite her crimes while this young sailor goes to prison for a year and gets a dishonorable discharge.

Meanwhile Daddy Bush, a senior ruling class member, underscores the Hildabeast’s privilege by endorsing her for president. The ruling class is scared to death of Trump.

Amazon’s Prime Pantry? Maybe Not

I’ve thought occasionally about using Amazon’s Prime Pantry food deliveries. But being just five minutes from an HEB makes it seem rather silly. Andy’s experience shows it could be more than silly:

“By the time it gets way off down here in the Puckerbrush a good half these cans are dented up and that box ‘o’ Pop Tarts looks like somebody been throwing a baseball at it.  Just the way it is I reckon since I never recall receiving one single Prime Pantry box that somethin’ wasn’t boogered up.”

Hmm. This obviously requires some more thought.

Black Activist to Obama…

In response to his whine about taking it personally if blacks don’t vote for you-know-who.

“…The enthusiasm level for Hillary Clinton in the black Community in Florida is swimming with the Tidy Bowl man. Trust me, as it currently stands, folks will not be standing in line for hours to vote for her.”

The Source of Trump’s Appeal

We hear all the time from the Democrat news media—which I know from more than 35 years professional experience includes most television and newspapers–that Trump is a bigot who is untrained and unrestrained and therefore too loosey-goosey to be president. Then we think of his opponent.

“You probably thought Trump was the bigot in this contest,” writes Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert cartoon strip, “until Clinton called half of Trump’s supporters a ‘basket of deplorables.’ That’s the point at which observers started to see a pattern. Trump has been consistently supportive of American citizens of all types – with the exception of the press and his political opponents. The main targets of Trump’s rhetoric are the nations that compete against us. In stark contrast, Clinton turned her hate on American citizens. That’s the real kind of hate. Trump is more about keeping America safe and competing effectively in the world. That is literally the job of president.”

Exactly and that’s why he is surging ahead of her, why his rallies are larger and more enthusiastic, and why the recent spate of pipe-bomb and knife attacks will help him win, probably by a landslide.

Brutal reviews for Clinton’s campaign book

Campaign books generally are boilerplate boring. Obama’s was awful and made it obvious someone else wrote his Dreams From My Father. Even before his Chicago sidekick Bill Ayers confessed to doing it.

But Grandmaw? Even the reviews are brutal mockery. Hint: 83 percent of 614 reviews are one star. Example follows.

“Pre-ordered an autographed copy but had to return it after this week’s announcement as I was worried it was contaminated with pneumonia bacteria. I didn’t want to end up exposed to the illness like her grandkids in Chelsea’s apartment she was playing with on 9/11 after she collapsed, or the little girl she was hugging in the street afterwards.

“Thought about ordering the Kindle version but I thought it might open my device up to being hacked by communist countries. I wasn’t too surprised to see Tim Kaine on the front cover giving the traditional National Socialist salute, I felt it fitting. Strongly recommended for those who believe the USA isn’t anything special and should be more like the peaceful utopias of North Korea, Iran, or Cuba.”

Read a few more, if you’ve got nothing better to do.

UPDATE:  Amazon tried to make this more palatable to ? someone, Democrats I suppose, by deleting most of the one star reviews. Didn’t work. Reviewers started clicking on five stars while leaving sarcasm like this: “I bought this thinking it would be a how-to book. I wanted ‘How to set up your own Foundation for fun and profit.’ Also, would like to have seen a chapter on ‘Ten easy steps to setting up your own secure server in a bathroom,’ wrote Elaine.”

The Clinton phony charity

Yeah, we all know the Clinton Foundation is a criminal operation, taking in foreign an domestic big bucks for pay-to-play influence and helping Slick and the Hildabeast and their beloved Chelsea pad their expense accounts.

But it’s nice to see actual numbers applied to their scam.

Just 5.7 percent of the Clinton Foundation’s massive 2014 budget actually went to charitable grants, according to the tax-exempt organization’s IRS filings. The rest went to salaries and employee benefits, fundraising and ‘other expenses.’”

Even in the world of phony charities that spend less on charity than they do on expenses, this has to be something of a record. Stronger Together, her campaign slogan, takes on a whole new meaning, eh?
