  • If You Want to See A Real Liberal Jerk in Action . . . (Part 2)

    Well, here ya go.  Different kind from that highlighted Poetrooper’s last article on the same subject, though.

    This one’s a CNN host – Fareed Zakaria.  Yeah, I know: that’s a “shocker”. (smile)

    Here’s the money quote from a recent interview (emphasis added):

    “The election of Donald Trump is really a kind of class rebellion against people like us, educated professionals who live in cities, who have cosmopolitan views about things.”

    In short:  according to      “Progressive” tools      those highly educated,      Metrosexual Euroweenie      “cosmopolitan” types like Lord Fareed here, anyone from the      peasant      working class – or who otherwise doesn’t agree with him – should just shut up and color.  Obviously, they should let their “betters” (AKA the     Socialist      “Progressive elite”) run the show.

    Oh, and later in the interview he plays the “racism” card, too. What a surprise.

    Sheesh. And his ilk claims that his side represents the interests of the “Little Guy”? That’s like an English Lord from the 1400s claiming he understands the peasants’ concerns and issues – when in reality he doesn’t give a damn about what happens to them at all, so long as he’s safe and comfortable in his Manor House.

    Yo, Zakaria:  did you ever think that maybe 8 years of failed      Socialism      Progressive policy under the previous SCoaMF – which Clintoon sought to continue – might have had something to do with Trump’s election? Along with the fact that Clintoon was one of the most personally disagreeable and seemingly financially corrupt Presidential candidates in history?

    Both Fox News and the Washington Free Beacon have short articles giving a few more quotes from Lord Foot-in-mouth here.  They’re worth a read.

    Sheesh.  What a freaking arrogant, elitist ass.

  • Gata guilty

    Gata guilty

    Mick sends us the news from Fox News that former Congresswoman Corrine Brown was found guilty in a Florida courtroom of 18 fraud and tax evasion charges. She was found not guilty of four charges.

    Brown served as a Florida representative in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1993 until 2017. She was defeated in her 2016 primary race.

    […]

    “Congresswoman Brown and her chief of staff are alleged to have used the congresswoman’s official position to solicit over $800,000 in donations to a supposed charitable organization, only to use that organization as a personal slush fund,” Assistant U.S. Attorney General Leslie Caldwell, chief of the Justice Department’s criminal division, said in a statement earlier this year.

    The Florida Times reports that she will remain free while awaiting sentencing.

    Jurors were told the brash 70-year-old Democratic icon, who spent 24 years in Congress before losing reelection last year, received $141,000 in untraceable cash over several years through sources including the sham charity One Door for Education and her Friends of Corrine Brown campaign committee.

    An FBI accountant testified Brown, who earned around $175,000 a year as a member of Congress with a pension from the Florida Legislature, spent an average of $1,438 per month more than her reported income.

    I don’t expect her to get any jail time.

  • And We Thought LA Was “La La Land”

    Headline says it all.

    Chicago inmates can now order pizza directly to their cells

    I’d say, “YGBSM” – but I long ago ceased to be amazed by idiotic policies adopted by “Progressive” cities and states.

  • Former Congresswoman Corrine Brown Doubles Down on “Teh Stoopid”

    Remember former Rep. Corrine Brown (D-FL)?  You know, the “fine lady” who ran for re-election to Congress from a district in the Jacksonville, FL, area last year while under Federal indictment for fraud and other charges (20+ total counts)?

    You should – she’s been featured in multiple articles here at TAH.  But if you need a memory assist, I’ve written about her here; that article links to numerous others about the “fine lady” written by Jonn and TSO.

    Well, it seems Ms. Brown is in the news again. And as before, not in a good way.

    It appears that well after she lost her try at re-election (she was defeated in the Democratic Primary in late August, 2016), she decided she’d tap campaign funds again – to the tune of more than $13,000 – to pay for things that on the surface certainly appear to be highly questionable if not outright illicit campaign expenses.  This Washington Free Beacon article has details.

    Frankly, I don’t see any issue.  That $11,000+ in “lodging expenses” at a DC-area Marriott in late September seems to be a totally legitimate expense to pay from re-election campaign funds.  So what if it was weeks after she lost her bid for reelection – and occurred nowhere near her former Congressional district?  Ditto that $2,000+ in “petty cash” withdrawn from those same campaign funds during a period of roughly 2 1/2 weeks starting in mid-October.  What’s the problem?  (I do hope the sarcasm in this paragraph is obvious.)

    Criminy.  She was already under indictment, and it certainly looks like she went out and did more of the same.  Is she really that freaking stupid?

    Don’t bother answering.  I think we already know the answer.

    To repeat a question I asked in a previous article:  I wonder how she looks in an orange jumpsuit?

  • Springsteen: I was a stone cold draft dodger

    Springsteen: I was a stone cold draft dodger

    Mick sends us a link to Fox News in which they quote mediocre performer Bruce Springsteen as he whines about how tough it was for him to avoid the draft during the Vietnam years;

    Bruce Springsteen said writing his song “Born in the U.S.A” helped him cope with his mixed feelings about dodging the draft during the Vietnam War.

    “I had some friends, very close friends of mine…guys who came home in wheelchairs, and then, I didn’t go,” the singer told Tom Hanks at Tribeca Film Festival event Friday, “I was a stone-cold draft dodger.”

    Springsteen explained he pulled “everything in the draft-dodger’s text book.”

    “So, perhaps, I felt guilty about that later on. I had friends who went. I had friends who went and died. I had friends later on who were seriously hurt,” he continued.

    He decided he needed to “come to terms with myself” and sing about what he had done.

    From UPI

    “I pulled the whole ‘Alice’s Restaurant.’ ‘I’m sorry, sir. I don’t understand what you are saying because I am high on LSD.’ I did everything in the draft-dodger’s text book,” Springsteen recalled.

    So, he was just a fricken coward. I don’t think I ever gave him a penny anyway – he never impressed me with what he thinks is talent. The picture above is from when former President Obama awarded Springsteen the Presidential Medal of Freedom last year.

  • Bill Nye . . . the Eugenics Guy?

    Seems that Bill Nye, the anti-freedom propagandist who originally made his name popularizing science, is propagandizing on a wider range of subjects these days.  And he’s catching some well-deserved heat for his most recent public position as a result.

    Nye’s already shown his true colors by coming out in favor of jailing “climate deniers” – a rather odd and, frankly, hypocritical position for someone who makes his living courtesy of the First Amendment IMO.  His newest position only further confirms his anti-freedom/pro-authoritarian bias.

    In a panel discussion on his new Netflix show, Nye recently seemed to come out quite clearly in favor of penalizing people who choose to have “extra” children.

    Yeah, you read that correctly.  Nye apparently is in favor of government-imposed limits on family size.

    Perhaps someone should remind the dipstick that this isn’t a new idea.  Communist China already tried it.

    It was called their “one-child policy”.   It was virtually universally considered an egregious and unconscionable violation of human rights.  China formally ended the policy in 2015.

    Any government policy that results in compulsory family planning and coerced sterilizations – as did China’s implementation of its “one-child policy” – is simply not something I find acceptable.  As far as I’m concerned, Bill Nye can go straight to hell.

    And no, Nye:  history quite clearly shows it won’t be “done right this time around”.  Dictatorship never is.

    Freedom may be messy and difficult.  But life as a free citizen is infinitely preferable to life as a serf – who is told by their lord and master what he or she can and cannot do and say.

  • An Update on Everyone’s “Favorite” Berkeley Alumnus

    Now, don’t jump to conclusions – the “fine individual” I’m referring to doesn’t seem to comment here.  (smile)

    It looks like our “favorite” Frank Zappa/Leon Trotsky wannabe lookalike is getting the attention he apparently craves.  But as is often the case, perhaps he should have heeded the old proverb:  “Be careful what you wish, you just might get it.”

    Drexel professor and self-proclaimed      leftist idiot     “actual communist” George Ciccariello-Maher is in the news again.  In case anyone’s forgotten, this is the      moronic jerk     tool made famous by his “white genocide” and “want to vomit” Tweets over the past few months.  Jonn’s written about him before.

    Well, it seems as if Drexel University caught a bit of heat over the “fine professor’s” commentary – which apparently also includes a Tweet where he urges people to “off the pigs”.  At least two prominent Drexel donors have withheld promised donations to Drexel, apparently due to Ciccarielo-Maher’s commentary.  Numerous other prospective students have recently apparently told Drexel, “Um, thanks . . . but no thanks” as well due to the guy’s idiocy – and have elected to go to school elsewhere.

    Nonetheless, it also appears that Drexel’s leadership may be “getting the message”.  Cigarillo-Moron      Ciccariello-Maher reputedly received an email earlier this month (3 April) from Drexel’s Provost expressing concern regarding his “extremely damaging conduct.”  The email also advised him that “a special committee of inquiry” had been formed “to investigate your conduct and provide findings and recommendations.”

    Yeah, the professor had the right to speak his mind.  But unlike Ivory tower academia or some mythical Progressive Utopia, in the real world actions have consequences.  And Drexel is a private university – so they have the right to fire someone who’s costing them money without worrying about Free Speech or civil service issues.  I’d personally be overjoyed if the Drexel leadership decided to let this tool go ASAP.

    Yo, “professor”:  free speech doesn’t equate to “zero consequences for anything you say”, dipstick.  It only means the government can’t regulate what you have to say.  Employers outside the government can and often do take note of what you say – and sometimes take action when your public words hurt their reputation.

    A private employer can fire your stank-ass if what you say costs them mucho dinero or damages their reputation; I’m thinking you might be about to find that out fairly soon.  And even government agencies can discipline employees who violate internal policies relating to offensive speech.

    But I’ll say this about free speech:  as you’ve proven here, free speech certainly does make it easier for idiots to identify themselves to the rest of the world.  (smile)

  • …because California isn’t liberal enough

    The LA Times reports that Democrats are encouraging other liberals to move to Orange County, so that they can take over representation of the bastion of conservatism, you know, because California doesn’t have enough Democrat-controlled areas;

    The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is aiming to defeat seven California Republicans who represent congressional districts where Hillary Clinton beat President Donald Trump — including a cluster of seats in Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego counties.

    The committee will send staffers in charge of overseeing House races in California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington to work out of an Irvine office in an effort to make inroads in Republican strongholds that have traditionally been sure bets for the GOP.

    I guess they figure that actually representing the opinions of the constituency takes a back seat to power.

    [Fred Smoller, a political science professor at Chapman University in Orange County] said the staffing move to California also has the benefit of showing potential donors and supporters, including a newly energized base that has been protesting several GOP members of Congress, that Democrats are being aggressive as 2018 approaches.

    “They are trying to convince people that they can win,” he said.

    Winning is more important than the voice of the People.
