Designated Survivor

You have probably seen headlines similar to this: 'World To End Tomorrow: Women, Minorities Hardest Hit."

It seems that after every terrorist attack by a Muslim intent on killing as many unbelievers as possible before collecting his 72 virgins the story is how the people most affected by the bombing, shooting, beheading or knifing are Muslims. 

Now we have a TV show that uses that them to tell us how having every government official in Washington killed in a bombing of the Capital, the victims are really those nice Muslims.

A new TV drama, "Designated Survivor" begins by showing, without an ounce of nuance, how  racist, bigoted, hate filled white Americans really are.  We are no more than 10 minutes into the first episode and we immediately know that Muslims as the biggest victims of a bomb attack during a State of the Union speech that kills every major government official except the Secretary of HEW, the “designated survivor”  who is now the new president. 

 The bad guys are cops, the military, the governor of Michigan who orders the arrest of every Muslim in his state and the surviving Republican in congress.

It’s Obama and Hillary’s view of America.

Without seeing any more than the first few minutes I know that the real bombers are supporters of Donald Trump, or perhaps The Donald himself.  

After the Republic

A MUST READ essay by Angelo Codevilla ...

The overriding question of 2016 has been how eager the American people are to reject the bipartisan class that has ruled this country contrary to its majority’s convictions. Turned out, eager enough to throw out the baby with the dirty bathwater. The ruling class’s united front in response to the 2008 financial crisis had ignited the Tea Party’s call for adherence to the Constitution, and led to elections that gave control of both houses of Congress to the Republican Party. But as Republicans became full partners in the ruling class’s headlong rush in what most considered disastrous directions, Americans lost faith in the Constitution’s power to restrain the wrecking of their way of life.

From the primary season’s outset, the Democratic Party’s candidates promised even more radical “transformations.” When, rarely, they have been asked what gives them the right to do such things they have acted as if the only answer were Nancy Pelosi’s reply to whether the Constitution allows the government to force us into Obamacare: “Are you kidding? Are you kidding?”

On the Republican side, 17 hopefuls promised much, without dealing with the primordial fact that, in today’s America, those in power basically do what they please. Executive orders, phone calls, and the right judge mean a lot more than laws. They even trump state referenda. Over the past half-century, presidents have ruled not by enforcing laws but increasingly through agencies that write their own rules, interpret them, and punish unaccountably—the administrative state. As for the Supreme Court, the American people have seen it invent rights where there were none—e.g., abortion—while trammeling ones that had been the republic’s spine, such as the free exercise of religion and freedom of speech. The Court taught Americans that the word “public” can mean “private” (Kelo v. City of New London), that “penalty” can mean “tax” (King v. Burwell), and that holding an opinion contrary to its own can only be due to an “irrational animus” (Obergefell v. Hodges).

What goes by the name “constitutional law” has been eclipsing the U.S. Constitution for a long time. But when the 1964 Civil Rights Act substituted a wholly open-ended mandate to oppose “discrimination” for any and all fundamental rights, it became the little law that ate the Constitution. Now, because the Act pretended that the commerce clause trumps the freedom of persons to associate or not with whomever they wish, and is being taken to mean that it trumps the free exercise of religion as well, bakers and photographers are forced to take part in homosexual weddings. A commission in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts reported that even a church may be forced to operate its bathrooms according to gender self-identification because it “could be seen as a place of public accommodation if it holds a secular event, such as a spaghetti supper, that is open to the general public.” California came very close to mandating that Catholic schools admit homosexual and transgender students or close down. The Justice Department is studying how to prosecute on-line transactions such as vacation home rental site Airbnb, Inc., that fall afoul of its evolving anti-discrimination standards.

This arbitrary power, whose rabid guard-dog growls and barks: “Racist! Sexist! Homophobic!” has transformed our lives by removing restraints on government. The American Bar Association’s new professional guidelines expose lawyers to penalties for insufficient political correctness. Performing abortions or at least training to perform them may be imposed as a requirement for licensing doctors, nurses, and hospitals that offer services to the general public.

....

We have stepped over the threshold of a revolution. It is difficult to imagine how we might step back, and futile to speculate where it will end. Our ruling class’s malfeasance, combined with insult, brought it about. Donald Trump did not cause it and is by no means its ultimate manifestation. Regardless of who wins in 2016, this revolution’s sentiments will grow in volume and intensity, and are sure to empower politicians likely to make Americans nostalgic for Donald Trump’s moderation.

Lesbian Trump supporter slams gay Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook

“My message today … is to Robby Mook, Hillary Clinton’s manager,” she said. “You know, I’m 61 years old. I’ve been out of the closet for 40 years. And Mr. Mook is a gay person, just like me. …

“And it’s really flooring the hell out of me that he’s supporting a woman that took money from these countries, from these countries that would take him and his friends or his lover or his partner and throw them off a building and kill them,” she said.

“I’m floored over this,” the woman added. “I had my suspicions that he was, watching him, but before I come out on anybody I had to reup on him and he is (gay). What a freaking disgrace.”

DeplorableCorgiGirl, also known as @DebraMax on Twitter, donned a Trump for President 2016 shirt in the video. She explained that she lived through the worst of the aids epidemic and believes threats and acts of terrorism from radical Islamists that support Clinton present a far scarier situation.

Hillary would sell anyone out and push every gay off a roof to get what she wants.

Missing Afghans Raise Terrorism Fears - Seven military students fled training in U.S. this month

Could the Obama Administration be training Afghan terrorists to attack U.S.?

Several Afghan nationals undergoing military training in the United States disappeared from U.S. military bases this month, according to Pentagon and Homeland Security officials.

“During the month of September, seven Afghan students were considered absent without leave (AWOL) during international military student programs,” Pentagon spokesman Cmdr. Patrick L. Evans said.

Three of the Afghan military trainees fled from a Pentagon training program two weekends ago during the bombing spree in New York and New Jersey by Afghan-born bombing suspect Ahmad Rahami, raising concerns among security officials that the missing Afghan students may be linked to terrorism or plans for attacks in the United States.

Crucifix, Trump chalkings reported as 'hate incidents' at UW-L

A report released by the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse’s “Hate Response Team” shows that more than 10 percent of reported hate incidents were determined to be fake or frivolous.

In fact, the report notes that 28 of 192 reports were found to be either completely fake or “not a bias/hate incident,” accounting for 14 percent of all incidents reported.

A Crucifix was reported for representing “oppression and hate of the LGBT+ community.” Tweet This

Meanwhile, of the reports that were legitimate, students complained about everything from images of the crucifix to a blog post about life on campus as a white student.

According to The La Crosse Tribune, one student reported feeling unsafe when discovering a Campus Crusade for Christ poster on campus, claiming that the cross represents “oppression and hate of the LGBT+ community.”

Two other students turned in one of their peers for publishing a blog post about life as a white student, calling his post offensive to students of color, and even saying that the proximity of the author’s off-campus residence made them feel unsafe living on campus.

After the infamous “chalkening” had spread to UW La Crosse’s campus, several students reported the incident to the Hate Response Team, whose report shows a drastic increase in activity over the few days it occurred—18 reports in just three days.

The school had initially responded to the chalkening with a Facebook post that called it “contradictory to our mission as a university,” but later deleted the post after facing national criticism.

"kill white people" spray painted. Other tags read "black lives matter" and "BLM."

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's office said they don't know who did this and it's not the only damage. Less than a 10 minute drive away, a trailer was hit with similar messages. The Trump sign in their front yard was painted over.

POLL: JUST 36% THINK SHE'S HEALTHY

The AP-GfK poll found 51 percent of voters are very or extremely confident that Trump is healthy enough to be president. In contrast, just over a third of voters — 36 percent — had the same confidence in Clinton's health.

Miss Universe 'fat-shamed' by Donald Trump was accused of threatening to kill a judge and being an accomplice to a MURDER bid in her native Venezuela

Oops:

• Alicia Machado, from Venezuela, was Miss Universe in 1996 when Donald Trump bought the franchise for the contest
• She was spoken about at Monday night debate by Hillary Clinton who told how Donald Trump had called her 'Miss Piggy' because of weight gain
• But reports from the time have surfaced which reveal questions over her background in Venezuela
• Court documents in 1998 revealed she was accused of driving her boyfriend from the scene of a murder attempt - at a woman's funeral
• A judge also claimed on national television that she threatened his life
• Unknown if Clinton campaign vetted Machado, 39, before debate and conference call with press on Tuesday which was almost all in Spanish

The mystery of Hillary's doctor

Jay Michaels reveals Dr. Lisa Bardack’s Faustian Bargain

When Dr. Lisa Bardack was asked to become Hillary Clinton’s personal physician in 2001, it had to have been a crowning moment in the career of the Mt. Kisco internist. Dr. Bardack could have anticipated little downside. She already had the responsibility -- and legal obligation under HIPAA -- to protect the privacy of her patient. She and her staff would have to be especially scrupulous in the case of a senator with presidential ambitions, but this should not have posed a serious problem.

Unfortunately, Hillary Clinton corrupts everyone who serves her. And this year Bardack encountered difficulties she could not have foreseen in 2001:

1. Clinton developed serious medical issues.

2. The candidate was being videoed, not only during campaign stops, speeches, townhalls, and the rare press conference, but before and after events -- by individuals with cell phones who were under no obligation to obey orders given to servile journalists to turn off their cameras.

3. The internet not only permitted the mass distribution of these videos and photos, but it enabled those who were curious to check Bardack’s reports against information available on reputable medical sites. It also enabled skeptical physicians to share their doubts with hundreds of thousands of readers.

In July 2015, the Clinton campaign asked Bardack to give the candidate a clean bill of health. She was to disclose, selectively, some of her patient’s medical history. But the letter was not widely analyzed until after the disturbing September 11 video by Zdenek Gazda, the Zapruder of 2016. It was no longer possible to dismiss those asking questions about Hillary’s health as right-wing conspiracy theorists, and the campaign now requested a second letter from Dr. Bardack explaining the event. The physician duly issued a report on September 14. Now her real problems began.

Let’s take a look at the two letters and some of questions doctors have asked about the diagnoses and treatment.

When will the Virginian Pilot stop lying about voter fraud?

The Virginian Pilot says that voter fraud doesn't happen. They lie.

People know that people cheat if given the chance.  That's why they support voter ID laws.  People care about their vote, and don't want it cancelled out by fraudsters.  

Here is a story from Colorado about dead people voting.  

[this is a link to the video which has an auto start that's too irritating to keep on this blog]

The truth is that the Virginia Pilot approves of voter fraud, just as it approves of giving convicted felons the right to vote.  

The reason's simple.  They believe that people who commit voter fraud and convicted felons are probably Democrats.  And they want Democrats to win elections, preferably honestly, but by fraud if necessary.  The writers, editors and management of the Virginian Pilot are Democrat operatives with a printing press.

I Was RFK’s Speechwriter. Now I’m Voting for Trump. Here’s Why.

... We simply cannot fight the entire world, Russia and China and all the nations of the Mideast, and fight a war at home all at the same time.

And therefore we citizens must not be silent, we must speak as with one great overwhelming voice, a voice as powerful as Washington, as Jefferson, as Lincoln, as Martin Luther King:

Return to the wisdom of the founders, who fought necessary wars to defend the Union, but sought no foreign conquests.

Do not step over the threshold of a new Cold War, a new nuclear arms race with Russia and China, but seek to enlist them in common ventures to resist the forces of terror and chaos that threaten all civilization.

Commit to our own domestic peace and security, rather than persist in a vain effort to control the lives and affairs of 200 foreign nations.

This, as I understand it, is the platform of Donald Trump. It was not the Republican Party platform, and he had to overcome much opposition within his party to gain the nomination. But it is his platform. It is the platform he has restated again and again, with determination, and with the courage and persistence to outlast his critics. It is a platform that, even in these troubled days, could fulfill the hopes of the greatest Americans of all parties.

Well may we seek reassurance whether Mr. Trump has the kind of cool judgment and self-possession that the presidency requires; the judgment that comes to the fore in crisis, that saves a nation or perhaps a world. No one can ever truly know how a future president will react to such enormous pressures. But Trump has given some evidence. He set himself a unique course toward the office, disdaining conventional wisdom, speaking more truth about politics and about America than any conventional consultant or adviser thought prudent or wise. And yet it is his independence, his willingness to name facts however unpleasant, together with his great political courage, that can give us hope and even some confidence that he may be up to the job. Perhaps most important, he has proven that he is not intimidated by the generals and admirals who have up to this day had their unimpeded way with our wars and our budgets, to the immense loss of both.

Flawed as he may be, Trump is telling more of the truth than politician of our day. Most important, he offers a path away from constant war, a path of businesslike accommodation with all reasonable people and nations, concentrating our forces and efforts against the true enemies of civilization. Thus, to dwell on his faults and errors is to evade the great questions of war and peace, life and death for our people and our country. You and I will have to compensate for his deficits of civility, in return for peace, we may hope as Lincoln hoped, among ourselves and with all nations.

Truly, America first, last and always; for ourselves and for our posterity. These are the reasons why I will vote for Donald Trump for president.

Chelsea bombing proof PC police stuck in pre-9/11 mindset

Another great column by Michael Goodwin.

The blood ran when the Chelsea blast injured 29 people, but now come reports that make the blood boil: The feds failed to connect the dots that might have prevented the weekend from hell.

The reports reveal several critical facts, starting with the most important. The father of alleged bomber, Ahmad Khan Rahami, called law-enforcement authorities in 2014 and said his son was a terrorist.

The New Jersey police turned the information over to the FBI, and agents interviewed the father, The New York Times reports. But when the father recanted his charge, the bureau apparently closed the case.

Political correctness means that too many terrorist attacks are not prevented. the police are left to collect the bodies, gather evidence and try to arrest the killers.  There were clear signs in other atrocities before they resulted in mass death.

• Tsarnaev brothers who bombed the Boston marathon
• Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Hasan,

...too many innocent Americans have paid for that mistake with their lives. How many more must die from political correctness?

And just the other day the FBI told us that terrorism is a fact of life, the new normal, something we have to learn to live with ... or die.

Ray Kelly’s Vindication

The ideologues who continue to argue that Islam does not represent a terrorist problem (which includes the press), or who view "...the sort who view the Constitution as akin to a suicide pact ..."

Former NYPD commissioner Ray Kelly, and the cops who made up his superlative anti-terror unit, can stand a little taller in the wake of the weekend bombings in New York City and New Jersey. While much remains to be learned about the incidents, this much is clear: Kelly’s view of Islamist terrorism as a multi-state threat, and thus a legitimate subject for sophisticated law-enforcement attention, has been vindicated.

On the Rumored Death of Hillary Clinton

Bud Norman is having some fun with Hillary's body-double. But gives himself away.

Our Bud is obviously buying in to the body double nutcake theory when he writes: “…she’s not the most physically fit women in the world…” using the plural of woman. It’s Freudian slip, and a sure tell.

That’s what you get when you spend months spreading nutcake theories and bizarre accusations against Donald Trump who is in the process of overtaking the “Weekend at Bernie’s” Democrat candidate.

But since she lives (we are not supposed to speak ill of the dead) we can remind Bud’s readers of the fact that the woman who started her corruption in Arkansas so many years ago taking a bribe for a mere $100,000 disguised as profits from trading cattle futures has grown into the corrupt witch that created a safe-haven for terrorists in Libya, left her ambassador and three other brave men to die in Benghazi, managed to turn the Arab spring into a disaster that has now caused the greatest refugee crisis since World War 2, has taken multi-million dollar bribes disguised as gifts to her “foundation” from the worst collection of crooks and dictators since the bar scene in Star Wars and transmitted all of our countries secrets via the internet to anyone who had the desire to hack into her private server while lying about it to everyone within the sound of her voice. All of this is offset by the fastidious who simply can’t vote against this ambulatory pile of political corruption because her opponent, who is not tied to the bipartisan cesspool that’s Washington, has been married three times. Having been married to the same woman for 47 years I understand Bud’s revulsion.

Obama led the world downward into chaos

We're just not sure if it was incompetence or a plan.

Meanwhile, in Syria, the eye of the refugee storm, America is losing its last trace of dignity. On Monday the Syrian army announced an end to that cease-fire declared just a week ago by Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov.

The Kerry-Lavrov pact was doomed from the start, but the death blow came late last week when US planes bombed forces loyal to Syria’s butcher-in-chief, Bashar al-Assad. The Obama administration rushed to apologize, swearing it was a mistake.

Remember when Team Obama said Assad must go? That policy, we learned over the weekend, secretly became a dead letter two years ago: It was back then, Russian UN Ambassador Vitaly Churkin disclosed, that the United States “committed,” in an agreement with Damascus, that our airstrikes in Syria “would not affect” Assad’s army.

We became, in effect, an accomplice of Assad, the world’s most prolific killer.

One chief reason: our desire to secure an agreement with his main regional backer, Iran.

And let's not forget Libya, the millions of refugees escaping from Obama's foreign policy and the deliberate destruction of America's health care system.

The Latest Round of Terrorism and the Race

On the subject of not seeing the links.

Bud writes: “No one was killed but dozens were seriously injured, and although one suspect has been arrested in both the New Jersey and New York incidents there’s not yet any link to the Minneapolis attacks and no definitive evidence that any of it is tied to international groups, but it’s all the scarier to contemplate that these sorts of things are just popping up spontaneously.”

 

Strange.  When I first heard about a man slashing multiple shoppers in a Minneapolis mall and a bomb going off in New York and more bombs found in New Jersey my first thought was that the thing that these events had in common was that they were probably terrorist attacks by Muslims rather than disaffected Anglicans.  The odds were good that one or both would be named Mohammad.   But I was wrong; neither of the perps was named Mohammad.  As for the rest I was right.  Does that make me a racist?  Or does that mean I can connect the dots that tell me that Muslims in our midst have been attacking Americans using knives, axes, guns and bombs and that when the news of a new attack of mass violence hits the airwaves we immediately understand that there’s a pattern here. 

Garden variety Americans are pretty good at murder and mayhem.  The black residents of Chicago have been killing each other in record numbers this year.  Ditto for residents of Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore, St. Louis, Los Angeles and other urban areas that have been run by Democrats for decades.  Glenn Reynolds has been asking why Democrat run cities are such cesspools of crime and corruption.  But I digress.

People are shot or stabbed every day for any number of reasons: robbery, jealousy, a drug deal gone bad, gang violence.  But when we hear about these events our antenna don’t go up.  

The attacks by the followers of the Religion of Peace – those peaceful Muslims we hear so much about; the ones who the press and the politicians tell as the real victims of these attacks – stand out; they have a similarity.  They are similar in this respect: they are random; the victims are unknown to the attacker.  They have none of the motives that the garden variety criminals have.  They are attacks of ideology.  They can only be understood as the work of fanatics and their purpose is nothing but terror and death.

If you, like Bud, don’t find any link between the terror attacks in New York, New Jersey and Minneapolis you have not been paying attention, or you are blinded by your ideology.  You don’t want to understand because understanding means that you have to deal with the fact that there are a few million people in this country who, for religious reason, can go on a killing spree and you don’t want to have to think about that.  You don’t want to have to think of ways that will prevent the next attack because it will upset your preconceptions.   You can take comfort that the odds of your being killed in the next attack are low.  And – to paraphrase Hillary - what difference at this point are a few more or less of your neighbors in the grand scheme of things.  So you tell yourself that doing something effective means – in the words of Barack Obama and his friend Paul Ryan - “that’s not who we are.”  So you turn your head and pretend not to see the links.

ISIS Supporters Use Hashtag #ExplosionManhattan, Praise And Celebrate NYC Bombing On Social Media

Though authorities have yet to officially identify any suspects or conclude any motives in the investigation of the multiple bombs on Saturday, ISIS supporters wasted no time applauding the IEDs planted in NYC Saturday night, praising the harm done to freedom-loving Americans.

The press, the Obama FBI, the politically correct police all want you to know that this has nothing to do with Islam. In fact, they are unsure of the explosion is even a bombing and if people stabbing shoppers in the mall may just be expressing their dislike of Donald Trump. In which case, it's his fault.

Let's call exploding pressure cookers cookware violence.
