Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

President Donald Trump made a surprise visit to the Troops in Afghanistan on Thanksgiving, which was quite moving and also showed that maybe the Schiff Show is ferreting out some of the leakers embedded in the Administration! I assume Pelosi, her Nancy Boys, and the media are busily attempting to find something impeachable in such a visit! What's interesting to me is that, though the above was briefly on the Bing frontpage, it was VERY quickly replaced with, as follows:

 and further into the day:

and, finally, into the evening:

Now, Bing managed to make ANY testifier against Trump in last week's Schiff Show THE trending topic for a full day each and every day, and anything Pelosi or her Nancy Boys say gets at least 6 hours, but on a slow news Holiday, anything positive relating to Trump gets buried immediately. I am sure they are hoping that one of those fed by the President became ill.

Jared Kushner Put in Charge of Border Wall.

Jared Kushner, son-in-law to President Trump, has been vilified by both the Right and the Left since joining his wife, Ivanka, as an advisor to the President in 2016. Like Trump, he is a Liberal, but seemingly never embraced the more Conservative policies that the President grew into over time. So placing him in charge of completing the Border Wall, scourge of all things Democrat since Trump first mentioned it in campaigning for High office, seems an unlikely fit. Or is it? The fact is that most Americans have always understood the basic concept of having borders, and Liberals were FOR a Border on all sides of the country and its enforcement until the media decided that defending the SOUTHERN Border was somehow "racist" because the people invading from THAT end were/are darker complected than the majority of then-existing Americans. NO one wants to be associated with the term "racist", so the Left and many on the Right dutifully denounced the "Big, Beautiful" Border Wall, and the race was on to distance oneself from it, even if one embraced Border Security previously. What works for the Trump Administration, though, is the mantra of "America First", and that often means doing what's good for the country, in spite of how the media might want to make it feel. Kushner is not a fool, and he's not a failure. If anyone can get this done and NOT be concerned with how the Press attacks him, he might be the one. Looking forward to progress.

Roberts To Play Tubman?

Silly stories say that a movie exec once suggested that Julia Roberts play Harriet Tubman in film, which, of course, makes no sense, as Harriet clearly would have wrapped her hair and not had access to 21st century dentistry, and Roberts relying heavily on both hair and teeth in all of her roles. And,  there was also the race thing. But why? "Hamilton" is a HUGE hit on Broadway and throughout the country.
       

Pretty certain that, historically, our Founders did not look quite like the above pic....So why would Tubman be off-limits? The Norse deity Brunnhilde the Valkyrie, who was portrayed for decades in Marvel comics as:
    

             blonde and Nordic. But she is portrayed in Marvel MOVIES as:

Brownhilde, Tessa Thompson. No cries of "Appropriation!" except from maybe diehard fans of the comics and/or mythology.
  So why is Tubman so triggering? Well, she was a real person, but so was Hamilton. She is set to replace Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill, and Hamilton will continue to be portrayed on the $10 note. It's similar to the way we look at being gay in the current culture. The closet door only swings one way. You can come out,m and it is celebrated. But going IN is looked at askance. There are questions of "conversion" and "confusion". Race-blind casting was considered a progressive means of bringing "representation" to media. When there was no indication as to a character's racial identity, casting agents were directed to ask "well, why couldn't he/she be....?", and that eventually became a quota system whereby every vehicle must have a certain amount of representation or the lack of it must be defended. And now we have just outright replacement, but it must NEVER be a white actor or actress playing a non-white role, because THAT would be "wrong". And no one wants to be wrong.

Ukraine Almost Went Without Supper!

So, according to Bing/MSN aggregate page, Mark Sandy, from the White House's budget office, claims that two unnamed bureaucrats quit "in part" due to concerns that Ukraine wasn't getting its money fast enough from the United States. Anyone who has read the Constitution KNOWS that Ukraine getting its money from America ON TIME is absolutely what this country was founded upon. The articles go on to allege that everyone down to the janitors at the White House had expressed "frustration" that Ukraine was NOT getting its required payout fast enough, and Schiffty and the Nancy Boys assume that that IS grounds for Impeachment, and Bing backs them all up.

Furthermore, apparently Trump is ALSO guilty, again according to Bing, of releasing the OWED monies to Ukraine AFTER hearing of the complaint made by Eric Ciaramella (NOT an actual whistleblower, though Bing and Schiff continue to call him that, besmirching the term in so doing), implying that the President's hand was forced by events beyond his control, and that Ukraine might have been left without a red cent and forced to go without supper.!
  Again, we hired the President to do things like NOT just give away taxpayer money to other countries without asking what they were doing for us...or to at least clean up a bit of their own corruption, even if that corruption involved the Biden family. The fact that there are "officials" who quit over us NOT just forking over tons of cash shows just how entrenched corruption is in our own system and makes one also wonder if the media could actually see PAST "OrangeManBad" if they might actually do some investigating of their own?

The Tax Man.

In the neverending attempt to destroy President Trump, one hope that the Left and the NeverTrumpers on the Right have always held out hope for is to get ahold of his tax returns. Rachel
Madcow of MSNBC pinned his hopes on having received the actual legendary Dead Tax Scrolls one night, and there was nothing there. Trump DID once promise, as the Wikipedia entry above describes, that he would release them, but that he was under audit. Mr. Trump also promised to build a Wall on the Southern Border, but no one seems particularly interested in his failure to fulfill THAT promise, yet they insist that the tax one is the most important thing in the world! They consistently point out that many many Presidents and Presidential candidates have supplied their taxes, and even though there is no requirement that one do so, that the precedent set is such that he MUST also supply his. BUT, unlike all the rest except a couple of third party candidates, Mr. Trump never worked for the American people as a public servant, In fact, he has not taken a paycheck as President. His tax returns are those of a private citizen, and the attempts to get a hold of them should scare ANY American citizen! I get that there are people angry that the Clinton/Bush Cabal is out of Power thanks to Trump, and that many feel hurt and lost, but that is NO reason to relinquish our RIGHTS in order to "get" OrangeMan. In fact, in four more years he will be out of Office, and his wife shows no interest in politics, but any precedent set whereby all candidates will have to have worked ONLY in the public sector or else have his/her privacy violated will remain long after Mr. Trump.
   One problem  that will also remain is that we are a divided country not only in terms of politics, but in terms of who does and who does not pay taxes, or even file returns. Many of the Democrats screaming loudest for President Trump's personal records have no worry that THEIR privacy will ever be at risk, since they either pay no taxes and/or file nbo return, simply living off the Government that they use their vote to maintain and make certain it continues to parent them. There needs to be a change in the country, and I am afraid we are going in the wrong direction, as more candidates promise to take more from taxpayers to give to non taxpayers who promise to vote for them, while other politicians cower in fear, lest the mob come after them.

Ex-Bartender "Fires Back"!

Congressgirl Sandy Occasional-Cortez (D/S/NY) "fires back" at Trump, according to Bing's "news" aggregate, and the reason this is a fun collection is because all these sources have a "You GO Girl!" theme to them, and they are typically one-sided, just as is my view of the ex-bartender. Don't get me wrong: I bartended for years, and it takes some real skillz....for guys. Sandy may not be smart, but she's pretty, and pretty means you an get drink orders wrong, and guys won't mention it, barbacks and any guy interested will refill your ice, take out your trash, and help you restock. Pretty means customers will listen and nod to your political rambling, and just wait for another drink. Being an avowed Socialist, I would recommend that any of here past customers check their bartabs, if they actually received one, especially if white males, as one can assume that she practiced her own brand of racist Socialism and put everyone's drinks on your tab. This last bit is why I disagree with President Trump about the Congress' lack of achievement. We DO NOT WANT these people DOING anything in Congress! They were voted in to impeach, not legislate, and, while they have zero grounds for impeachment, at least it keeps their mitts off of our laws! Both sides could do with a little less lawmaking, and do some repealing of arcane and archaic laws, rather than constantly writing new ones, especially if, like Pelosi and her Nancy Boys, they scream bloody murder if an Executive Branch has the audacity to enforce those laws!

From Russia With Hate.

SOMEONE touched a nerve, and the House of Horrors is apparently pushing back! As always, an unnamed Democrat (a "whistleblower" if you will) promises an "ethics" investigation, which is what Republican'ts get when they embarrass the Democrats (the reverse, as with Feinstain, never occurs) over Nunes' alleged connection to the Russkies, the same dog-eared play that the Dems have been using for four or more years.

  Perhaps it's time to look at the Russkie timeline. Back in 2012 the Obama Administration had such a good relationship with the Russians that President Obama was caught on a hot mic promising Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he would have more "flexibility" after his re-election to a second term. However, between that moment and the second term, in 2013 Russia passed a law banning gay propaganda aimed at children, which the Presstitutes dutifully labelled "Anti-gay" or, later, anti-LGBT, and the Gaystapo demanded that Obama put pressure on the Russkies to relent or face their financial wrath, as they withdrew funding for the campaign.
  I doubt that Obama required that much arm-twisting. The gay vote wasn't going anywhere, even if the Republican'ts had put forth a viable candidate, and not fall guy Mittens Romney. I assume he wanted an excuse to chill relations and maybe make it look as if his promise of flexibility had been misinterpreted. Obama "opted out of attending the winter Olympics held in Sochi, Russia. The snub was intentional. Under the Obama administration, the United States has long critiqued Russia’s human rights record, especially with regards to LGBTQ issues." He was of course elected to a second term, and the New Cold War began.
  When the Clintons failed in their bid for a Third Term in 2016, the Presstitutes dutifully began alleging Russian interference in the election as the cause. The Deep State alphabet agencies complied as well, making accusations without verification, and ignoring that the true foreign interference had been from Mexico, which gave the Clintons a "popular vote" win.
 The basis for the HERR Mueller Inquisition had been President Trump's alleged Russian collusion, and after a two year proctology exam they found nothing, but the accusations are still trotted out. The media even managed to make the Russians the "new" evildoers in many many series and films, since the Russkies can invariably be played by white actors and actresses, and there are no complaints about racism. A win/win, and an example of the reach and power of the Gaystapo. A small but vocal and wealthy group.

Shocking Documents Reveal Collusion!

Shocking! Documents link Rudy Giuliani and Mike Pompeo, BOTH of the Trump Administration,
communicating before the ouster of Bureaucrat Marie Yo-vanovitch, instigating what "news" sites refer to as a "smear campaign", which translates to "they accurately described her poor job performance". Apparently no one in media nor in Government has ever worked in the private Sector and they have zero experience with something called "performance evaluation". It is mind boggling.

Graham Going After Biden Ukraine Konnection!

For a loooooong time it seemed that President Trump was attacked from all sides. As a populist who was only recently attached to the Republican Party he was not the favorite candidate of the Establishment, which saw the Clintons or the Bushes as interchangeable, but were deathly afraid of an outsider looking to clean house, or to at least shake things up. Sadly, Trump either by choice or by lack of experience, didn't do much when he got into Office, but that didn't lessen the reaction to his arrival, a coordinated coup to remove him by the Democrats, which had some Republicans salivating at the opportunity to get back at the American voter for wrongthink. This attitude was notably on display during the neverending fun-eral for John  McCain, who hated Trump and his voters as much as anyone ever could or would.
    It was surprising for many that, during the confirmation hearings into Brett Kavanaugh, used by Dianne Feinstain to deploy Chrissie Boozy-Ford as an alleged "victim" of the nominee, even though she recalled no details, and even though Kavanaugh had served publicly for years, that NeverTrumpers Lindsay Graham and Susie Collins would strongly support not removing Kavanaugh's presumption of innocence and due process and fiercely defend the man. Was it a turn toward Trump? It seemed from public pronouncements that Graham might in fact have softened, but it was more likely that he was offended that Kavanaugh, a Bush appointee, was being so maligned in a way to get at Trump, than in a new alliance with the President. He HAS since been far more vocally supportive of the President's policies than many Republican'ts, and only wavered when it looked as if the President might follow through on his campaign promise to remove us from endless war in the Mideast. Since Trump only moved troops around, rather than bringing them home, he has since regained Graham's support, and it looks as if Graham might actually now be looking into probing the Bidens and their influence peddling in Ukraine, something the Democrats have tried to pin on Trump in an effort to impeach him. What this means, of course, is if the Senate does take up the Shampeachment once Pelosi and her Nancy Boys get it done in the House of Horrors, then there would already be an ongoing investigation into the details happening concurrently. Should prove interesting, and I applaud Senator Graham for showing some backbone, having been disappointed that, for all his bluster, NO one paid a price for what was done to Kavanaugh, when at the very least Feinstain should have been censured.
  One need only look at the photos chosen by Bing for the topic to see that the Establishment is SCARED that Graham might be taking this seriously! Let's hope so.

Vaping is a GOOD Thing!

Rodrigo Duterte of Philippines is looking to ban e-cigarettes from his country, just as President Trump was mulling over the same here in the U.S. Mostly reacting to his wife, Melania's emotional
take on vaping and kids, which is mostly against the law already, he thankfully is the Chief Executive and NOT a lawmaker, so hopefully Congress and the courts will block him on this just as they have anything decent he has attempted for the country. I smoked from junior year in high school, which was odd for someone who ran track, but I also had an after track job, which meant a lot of bored time on the clock, which caused me to light up with co-workers. Then I would grab a smoke out behind the school in the mornings with friends before class. Most kids were smoking pot in the same area, so I am sure my teachers thought I smelled more of weed than tobacco.
   I finally quit a few years ago, as I was no longer working a job that made smoke breaks necessary and smoking in the modern era is a chore that I am not up for. I DID take up vaping as I was gaining weight, not because I missed smoking itself so much as I guess i had an oral fixation which meant that the cig to mouth thing had been more of a habit than anything else. E-cigs proved perfect for me. No stench, no fuss, no obligation to smoke until the cig was completed or to make certain it was out before heading back to work. I still purchase flavored disposables from White Cloud, the best product I've found thus far. I messed around a bit with the kits, and am frankly too lazy to be bothered. I never seemed to get things exactly right, and smoking had never been "work" for me, so the convenience of a disposable is just right. Your mileage might vary. I DO hope that whatever lobby it is that is pushing to ban vaping would cut it out, though. Vaping is fine, does no one any damage, and has helped many ex-smokers, including myself. Kids will find ways to harm themselves no matter what adults do. It's been that way since the beginning of time.

Vindictive Man!

Shampeachment witness Alex Vindman, or, as I like to call him, "Vindictive Man", is apparently AFRAID for his life as the disgruntled employee told of how he did not follow the rules of his employ, yet was incensed when he heard that his Boss might have set conditions by which Vindictive Man's homeland might receive money from the U.S.A. We are, after all, obligated to support any country that demands it without any conditions. I hope Vindictive Man will take up Ukraine's fourth offer of a position there, as I am certain he'll feel welcome and safe back home.

And I guess while Nancy Pelosi was sizing up the Oval Office for how she'll be able to rearrange the furniture once her coup succeeds and she becomes President, the Nancy Boys (and girls) in the House of Horrors passed a funding bill, because nothing should ever stop the money from flowing! I wonder if McConnell and the Senate would have the guts to reject it while the coup is still under way. It would be almost as if they had some leverage over the out of control House....

Out of This World!

Today's Bing frontpage shows several stories about water vapor on Jupiter's moon, Europa. If a vaping company does NOT come out with a Europa product I will be sorely disappointed. It's a cool development, though, in that, should the doomsayers who think our planet hasn't long to go before "climate change", or whatever they will rename it by then, destroys us, there might in fact be places for us to leave TO.
  Another option clearly mapped out for us is Titan, the moon of Saturn, home of DC Comics' Saturn Girl, introduced as a "super telepath" in the early 1960s!

If there WERE inhabitants on Titan and they had powers like Imra Ardeen's they could get us to "see" what they wanted us to see. Here's what we DO see according to Bing:

All in all the future is looking more promising. As seen on Virgin Galactic!

Hello World!

Just a first posting to this Blog. It's mid-November and the weather in Georgia is unusually cold and it happened really quickly. Seemed a decent time to type some stuff, and now I have nothing much to say. Which means I am probably procrastinating and I SHOULD be working out, so workout it is!
