People Are Not The Same

Sometimes they agree, other times they do not.
Early in his career, I was a fan of South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham.
I lost him when he became a sycophant of John McCain with which came the necessity to blur and operate in the middle, which the left considers to be a trait of a maverick, when all it really does is blur the middle creating weakness and room for the left to operate without governance.
Then came the Obama years when Lindsey Graham was often seen on television sabre rattling.
During those middle years, he was lost to me.
Yesterday he got pissed and spoke in a way that most conservatives feel in their heart.

I am pleased with Lindsey Graham's expression of frustration.

They're Gone

The removal of an ankle device is a clear indicator that there is no intent on the behalf of the illegal alien to comply with Federal law. This is a calculated action and statement of defiance.

ICE: 30 Percent Of Illegal Alien ‘Families’ Cut Off Their Ankle Monitors, Never Show Up Again

And executive associate director for ICE said...

“They will comply up until the benefit of complying is not there”

When US citizens are caught removing ankle bracelets, they are subject to immediate apprehension, revocation of bail and or revocation of parole.

Detention centers are and appropriate measure for illegal aliens that have acted with resistance toward ICE measures. Why should a government release persons into the citizen population that have made clear that the laws of the United States are a whimsical notion to be ignored.

Illegal citizens should be held to a higher standard than citizens when it comes to freedom of movement within the US border.

Even The San Francisco Chronical

Thinks that Senator Dianne Feinstein's late addition of a decades past complaint of sexual assault, is less than kosher.
Editorial: A disturbing 11th-hour allegation against Kavanaugh

Feinstein, a California Democrat, took the worst possible course by waiting until almost a week after Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing was completed to ominously announce that she had turned over “information from an individual” about Kavanaugh to the FBI, and adding that she would be honoring the woman’s “strongly requested” confidentiality.

Of course the confidential thing went out the window as soon as the issue became public.
Sexual assault is no matter for simple dismissal but the lack of undocumented substantiation casts 

serious doubt on the accuracy of complaint. Furthermore, the submission by a politically motivated participant makes it impossible to ignore the temptation to be dishonest.
As hyperbolic as social media has been, I find it interesting that there is very little offered on this topic, I suspect that this is because most people, even Democrats, think the story is bullshit.

He Hits My Hair

To follow the last post, a favorite line from Saturday Night Fever.

Why Was Disco Ever Popular?

This article leads off with describing Donald Trump assailing "Fake News" and then rolls into how some guy wrote a fictional story about Vincent and then passed it off as true.
The story became the foundation for the movie Saturday Night Fever.
Never Happened?
Income seeking writers and politically motivated persons have always created fake stories, lies, to support their goals. When the United States was a new country the pamphleteers published stories and narratives of obvious lies. These were done for political gain, creating issues long since forgotten.
CNN and MSNBC have been skirting the edges of truth for two years now, keeping undeserved negative pressure on the President.
A dishonest press is nothing new.

Cory Booker

Cory Booker, Senator of New Jersey, darling of the Democrats, reveals secret documents in an attempt to undermine the judicial candidacy of Brett Kavanaugh.
In this day when everyone with a voice casts cries for harsh judgement, yet no judgement falls on politicians that break the rules of the Senate, and for that matter the concept of simple decency.
Compares himself to Spartacus, what a jack-ass.

Seems Appropriate

Bought my 1st Nike sneakers in the middle 70's from Bob's Surplus Store in Middletown Connecticut. Ever since, I've considered their products to be stylish and functional, and liked them very much.

Nike taking a political stand is their choice, their business.

Canonizing a millionaire miscreant who cannot define the foundation of his complaint with accuracy is offensive to me. 

It Took Some Guts

To publish this article.
The Elephant at the Southern Border
So the average IQ of persons entering the United States by way of the southern border is under 90.
So they are the perfect Democrat recruits, stupid.
The illegal immigrants in my county are generally Hispanic and tend to self-isolate.
I had thought that they been isolating themselves as form of community self-preservation, but maybe with this revealing data, they are staying close because they are afraid they might not find their way home.
I know that's wrong to say.

Germany: Anti-Immigration Party Surges in Popularity

Having the predisposition to favor immigration control, it has been apparent to me that Merkel has been deliberately ignoring the cries of some German citizens to control the onslaught of new Arab immigrants. Merkel's posture is understandable given Germany's history of starting two world wars and attempting to exterminate all of the Jewish people in Europe. Like in the United States, shame for the factual sin of having had legal slavery, an entire population has been taught, for generations, to embody their guilt. This guilt, is a learned emotion that individuals shed as they evolve toward conservative values, something that is triggered by experience and recognition of failed policies. Now, for Germany, some of the government is starting to evolve from their recognition of error. It is time to get control of this and for Merkel to be unseated.

Germany: Anti-Immigration Party Surges in Popularity: The AfD's opponents, who often brand the party as 'far right' or 'extremist,' claim that the party's alleged ties to neo-Nazi groups pose an existential threat to Germany's constitutional order. The AfD's supporters counter that Germany's politically

Op-Ed Blowback: Trump Behavior Shames Economy

It's a parody but well sums up the reporting of "major media", descriptions of emotion, descriptions of hypotheticals, no facts.

Illegal Aliens Killed Two Search And Rescue Dogs In Texas

The think the pejorative term "wetback" can safely be used in this instance.

Illegal Aliens Killed Two Search And Rescue Dogs In Texas

While the illegal immigrant population in Georgia is, in areas, overwhelming, the behavior is not overtly aggressive. This behavior in Texas, presumably part of illegal immigration trafficking is frightening.

This is a perfect example of a causal relationship between illegal immigration and violence, an in itself reason enough for a wall and strict immigration enforcement.

When immigrants the United States enter legally, violence, by definition, is not part of the equation.

Having a family geographically divided between north and south has shown me that citizens in the Mideast + New England corridor are oblivious to the dangers caused by persons who have entered the country illegally. All the while pontificating at wall supporters, describing them (us) as xenophobic and racist.  This reflects a Pollyanna like ignorance of the impact violent illegal immigrants  inflict.

I have witnessed such crimes in Georgia which, thankfully, resulted in no serious injury.

What would PETA and the ASPCA have to say about this?

Apparently Every Death is an Opportunity

To cuss out the President.

The hatred is visceral and there is a fair argument that it is based on nothing.

Aretha’s funeral: Trump haters and 1 truth-teller

If you hate the man because he is a pig, I can accept that.

Did you feel the same way about President Clinton, or is your hatred more centered within your party affiliation?

Anyway, this article is about Reverend Jasper Williams Jr. of Salem Bible Church in Atlanta, who eulogized on a different subject, frankly a more important subject, and is being severely criticized for not tugging on that hate Trump rope.

More Flag Fun

Missing in Action: The American Flag on the Moon
Artists make movies in the form of the story they’ve imagined.
If the thought of the Stars and Bars distracts from that concept, it’s within the right of the artist to form the picture with the distraction.
To suggest an omission to save viewers from distraction is evasive.
Just own your art libtards.

In Case

You had any doubts.

The United States of America is the only country, on Earth, that has put men on the moon.

I think people getting wound up over the movie "First Man" excluding the stars and bars from their movie, is hyperbolic. Movies are art, artists can create whatever they want, if people buy it, fine. If people don't buy it, just as good. An actor's explanation that the feat "transcended countries and borders" as a reason for the obfuscation is bullshit. The producers should have the courage to own their decisions.
Giving credit to mankind is like giving trophies for competing, hell in this case not even trying to compete.

He Started It

This follows the previous post.

Not that anyone in the press seems to give shit about the truth, everything, with a twist, can be used to attack the President.

Who Really Started the Trump-McCain Feud?

To the media, this feud is totally one-sided. In reality, it was Trump minding his own business, trying to run a winning campaign, something McCain found challenging, when McCain called him and his supporters
