Big In Japan

Silent Siren is an all-girl band from Japan formed in 2010, when two fashion models discovered a mutual passion for playing music.

Since 2013, they been climbing the charts with numerous singles, and three consecutive albums, ranking in the top 10 back home. Currently, they are on tour in the United States.



Aren't they just totally adorable?

Some Thoughts On The Roy Moore Experience

- I'm generally skeptical of sex abuse charges that appear 40 years after the incidents in question, and perfectly timed just weeks before an important election.

-If these accusations have merit, why are they coming out now? This man has been a high profile actor in some of the highest profile battles of the Culture War for 40 years? Alabamans favor this guy. If these issues were known, nobody thought them very important, nor important enough to bring them to the fore until now.

-Again: It's Alabama. This guy reflects their values, however backwater they are to the rest of us. They have the right to present their values to the national policy making apparatus, just as California has it's right to send up a Marxist, Vermont a Socialist, Washington a Retard, and Illinois a Traitor. The rest of the governmental body is free to marginalize them when they arrive.

- This is why the GOP, and the Right in general, will always enter The Octagon half-crippled with one arm tied behind their back. They can't wait to toss this guy under the bus, and with it, a valuable Senate seat. It's long past time to play by the rules of the Left. The Left rallied around rapist-molester Bill Clinton, and his slut-shaming wife Hillary... telling us over and over these things didn't matter.
The Left rallied around that Congressman (who's putrid name escapes me) who took on an under-aged Gay lover.
Roy Moore is not unfit to serve in the Senate.
If anything, he is also fit to serve as President.
These things don't matter. The Left taught us that.

-We have an agenda at stake. We are one SCOTUS vote from losing the 2nd Amendment;  our rights to practice our religion; our right to hold property... you know the story.

- We need Roy Moore to win that seat. We can  deal with him properly, and politically, after that seat is secured.

-

The past 4-5 days have been a blur... a mix of emotions... and lots of time spent starring off into space...too many questions without answers... I might appear fine at times, but I'm not... digging deeper than I have ever had to before... functioning is a struggle.

My wife was diagnosed with metastatic cancer... at the same time it looks like my carotid tumor is staging a comeback...

Shit is kinda fucked up right now.

If you have some leftover prayers you aren't using... yeah.. send them this way.

Thank you.

My Thoughts On The NFL Stuff

-Every Sunday during football season, we meet at this local sports bar, called Sidelines. (We occasionally relocate to Rosati's when we want to avoid the Seahawks crew and their annoying manner.) I found this loose group of Bears fans at this same bar in 2012.
There are several different fan bases that call this bar home, but we are not like the others. All the others are somehow related or extended related, getting together, cousins/siblings etc...
None of us are related in any way.
 As is the developed practice, whomever arrives first puts dibs on the favorite table and corresponding screens.
We meet every Sunday the Bears are playing, and I have zero to near-zero contact with any of them after the season is over. Not even Facebook contacts.

Myself, Jeff, Lori, Danny, Mike.
Over time, we have become known as The Family. An intended misnomer.   Our bond is based upon Bears football, and little else. It's the point and topic of every conversation and comment we may yell, scream or utter over the course of the next three hours or so...

I never had any clue as to the political leanings of anybody in The Family. We never touched upon such things. This week has ended that, unfortunately.  Up side, though, is that I don't think it will have any effect on the future of The Family going forward. We are all about the Bears, and nothing else.

-Don't blame President Trump for inserting the power of the Presidency into the NFL commentary. President Obama started the ball rolling last season with his commentary over Kaepernicks style of protest. NFL players didn't have a problem with it then, did they? Do not gray a line you don't want crossed, ok?

-Trump's words: 'get that son of a bitch outta here'... or something like that, are almost the exact same words most of Trump Nation would use. It's how we talk. And, he was talking to us. Ain't no thing, ok? Get over it.
Or, get with it.
He resonates for a reason.

-Son Of A Bitch. I heard those words every day growing up, and rarely hear them anymore, them having been replaced by 'cabrones'.
 'Sonsabitches'... I miss that word. It meant something.
Hearing Trump go 'old school' gave me a warm feeling inside.

-At first, Kaepernick sat down for the anthem, but after being questioned, and wanting to come to a better method of expressing himself, he chose to kneel: a sign of respect for the general ideals the flag stood for, but he found lacking in reality. Fair enough, if you ask me.

-Those who got butt hurt when Tebow took a knee out of expression to deeply held beliefs, did not have an issue when Kaepernick did it.
 And vice versa.
Turn the mirror upon your own face and see if this applies.

-The NFL has, for years, attempted to use patriotism as a marketing tool and has had much success along the way... so much so, that displays of lesser-patriotism are off putting to many of the fan base.  They made their bed, they will lie in it.

-Taking their hypocrisy a step further: the NFL owners/CEOs/coaches/kissasses have issued several statements so far, all claiming to fully support their player's rights of political expression... or something like that...
Really? Then explain for me why Kaepernick no longer has the skills to play in the NFL while Mike Glennon still does?

-Maybe, after all this dust settles down, Kaepernick might find an NFL position again. I'm ok with it. He's a genuinely good dude. He's also hugely under-informed, but can you blame him after being coddled for so much of his life?

-If you need further proof that this nation is going through it's death throes, this should do it for you. Football players are the modern day version of Roman gladiators. Tough guys. Seems that in reality, they are all a bunch of snowflakes beneath the padding and the helmets.  Sissies who play football at the highest level, are still sissies. So sorry your little feelings were hurt...faggot.

-I'll still watch. For now, anyway...

DACA

I've said it before: a young child transported illegally across out border to live and grow up is an American by default. The child knows no other country.
I also realize that there can be distinctions made between a 6 month old illegal versus a 16 year old. They are not the same thing, and this distinctioning thing can get real messy.

I supported the idea of DACA at the time, but not the act of DACA itself.
DACA is blatantly unconstitutional.

Getting a Dream Act passed into law should not be that difficult. Most people support the idea. The biggest obstacle is those who want to include Dreamer stuff into a wider bill granting blanket amnesty to all illegals, and wont have it any other way.

Stop holding the kids hostage.

Pass a DACA type thing, and do it the correct way.

Some This, Some That

Hi ya'll! Or should I say 'both o' Ya'll', seeing as how I haven't been around much and most of what was left of Ya'll have gone on to better things to click on... Can't say I blame ya.

Been working some crazy hours the past couple months, some 72hr weeks, and looking in on my mom on the occasional day off... oh, and a week vacay in Chicago and it's surrounding prairie towns. Wish I'd just stayed there a while longer.

OK, getting to the bloggy type stuff:

-After the Marc Rich pardon-for-cash, the FALN terrorists pardons, Chelsea Manning commutation, and some others, no member of The Press has the moral authority to criticize the Joe Arpaio pardon. This is the way shit works, ok? You were fine with it before, so get fine with this one now.

-Personally, I think pardons should be rare and serve a higher purpose. Like, the pardon every Confederate soldier received for the sake of national reconciliation; or a combat soldier who became over zealous in his duties; Richard Nixon; or any other number of things where a person may be justly convicted, but circumstances might seem unjust to most of us.

-Given the ways of Washington, Scooter Libby should have received a break from President Bush... but considering how Bush threw the American working class under the bus, I'm damn glad one of 'them' got it hard.
Yes, Libby is one of 'them'.
Don't forget that he was the  lawyer to Marc Rich. It was Scooter who negotiated the most shameful pardon in recent memory.
Fuck You, Scooter!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA...
I hope you got raped in prison.
With out lube.
Often.

-If our President, Donald Trump, received the same press coverage as his predecessor, he'd be polling 70% right now.

-I love the way he attacks the press. They are who he says they are. Finally, there is GOPer willing to call them out for a change, instead of sucking their dicks while apologizing for not being who they want him to be.
Keep kicking them in the nuts, Mr President, and I will keep supporting you.

-If Trump is the same as Hitler... that means Hitler wasn't 1% as bad as I was taught. I was lied to. We need more Hitler in this country.

-Houston: Just Wow. Has any weather event like this ever been recorded?

-The Cajun Navy: the much sung heroes of Houston.
Basically, a loosely organized group of Louisiana sportsmen, outdoorsmen, hunters and fisherman... who bring their personal watercraft (bass boats and air boats, basically) to flooded areas and save lives, on their own dime, on their own time.
I'm a hunter, myself... and I get to know a lot of other hunter-type people, so I can safely say that I'm fairly certain that a sizable population of these "Duck Dynasty" types are regular church goers... largely Republican... and Trump voters.
Shhh... don't tell the media.
It'll be our secret.

-The Cajun Navy is just Americans being Americans, like it should be. They are not looking at one's skin color, or transitioning status. They are there to save people. It's what we do. I wish things like this were reported, and by extension promoted, more often.

-Houston is home to a substantial population of Black Americans... but I have not seen one single Black Lives Matter flotilla/navy on the water, or even a convoy of aid trucks.

-I'm fairly certain, it wont be long, until Donald Trump is somehow blamed for sending this hurricane/aftermath to Houston. Wait for it.

-Football is almost here. I'm looking forward to my Bears winning more than three games.

-Matt Stafford just became the highest paid football player in history. I'm not a fan of Stafford, yet... I see a lot of things about him that I can't help appreciate. The dude's a baller. He never quits. Ever.
The Man of a disfunctional franchise (0-16) from the moment he arrived.
He promised to fight and never give up.
He lived up to it, in spades.
He's as badass as an Ass can be, and he is an Ass when he thinks he can away with it....
Story short: He's a Detroit Lion. To the core.
He's earned it... every fucking cent of it.
Raising a glass to Matt Stafford!
I hope the Bears kick your Detroit Ass this year... Thrice!

-System Quarterbacks do as they are taught to do, with the pieces they are gifted. See: Brady, Brees, Rodgers.
Real life Quarterbacks do what they can, with what they have... like Stafford.
If he was drafted by New England, he'd have 7 rings already, and an HOF lock on the first ballot.

He was drafted by Detroit.
Sucks for him.
Matt Stafford plays football on every snap.
He will run it, and take the hits, while delivering some of his own...
Tom Brady.. not so much.He should be in the HOF conversation when he retires, but he wont be.
And that's too bad.

This is why the NFL sucks.

John McCain Has Cancer

Big whoop... he's been an actual cancer on the conservative movement for decades, who's 'sell by' date has long past.

Good Bye, John!
We won't miss you as much as the Democrats will.

Laying It Out For Those Still In Doubt

Victor Davis Hanson does a does a pretty complete job in describing the lay of the land.

In this latest arena of civil dissent, Donald Trump, the renegade liberal and most unlikely traditionalist, squares off against the elite that despises his very being not only for reasons of class and culture, but mostly for attempting to restore a traditional regime of citizenship, individualism, assimilation, territorial sovereignty, recognized borders, strong defense, deterrence abroad, and free-market capitalism.

Read the whole thing.
If anybody still doubts that we are engaged in another civil war then I don't know what else to point out for you...
And for those Never Trump who still hold to that position? I suggest you start planning your meetings in a town called Vichy. You'd be at home there.

How To Solve A Problem Like Korea

Some more thoughts on the Nork situation:

--North Korea has crossed a potentially dangerous line with their development of missiles that threaten the USA. This really should not surprise anybody. As long as the regime was being catered to, it was going to happen.
This lies directly at the feet of every POTUS since Bill Clinton, who tasked Jimmy Cater with providing the regime with the nuclear technology to get this far.
It was Jimmy Cater, acting on behalf of a stupid Clinton, who armed the Norks, and this must be made known.

--We need to see this for it really is: an extension of the Cold War, and China's further desire to play a hegemonic role. China gave birth to this regime and has continued acting as it's wet nurse. This will not change easily.

--China, despite what they may say, loves having their little suck puppet right there where it is. It's strategically smart for them.

--There are no good options. Any attack on the Norks will absolutely trigger a retaliatory attack on Seoul,  cause the deaths of untold thousands, lay waste to their vibrant economy... and bring China back into the battle in a replay of the Second Korean War.
When this war is over, China will posses the entire peninsula.
Secretly, I believe China wants the USA to attack the Norks, just for this reason.

--We will have to learn to tolerate/live with the Norks and their threats. They won't do anything that would cause an end to their regime, so stop buying into their black mail. This isn't Iran, that seems to be bent on a Holy War in the name of God.
Kim Jong Il would prefer to enjoy his virgins within the context of his earthly kingdom, where he is god. He's acquired Paradise. Why ruin it?

--Secure Japan and South Korea by encouraging their own Nuclear Weapons programs. Let that stew in China's craw for a while. And never retract from that. They will eventually need their own deterrents  anyway because China will always seek to dominate them. It's who they are.


--Treat China as the enemy state they are. Link them to North Korea, as they really and truly are.
'Cold War' their ass.
Cut off trade. Bring back our own manufacturing. I know, this may require the purging of many at the top levels of our own government (like anybody named Bush, or related to one) who sold out America and it's workers in exchange for the business opportunities in China.

--China is not our friend. They never were. They will not ever be.
Stop the charade, because the American leadership are the only ones buying the bullshit.
Come out onto the factory floor and talk to normal Americans who work for living... we don't like Chinese.

Trump Nation: 4 Media Cohort:0

These former journalist people, after resigning from their careers to form the corrupt cohort, still can't see how they exist within a bubble of their own creation.

They were all giddy leading up to Montana before getting slammed up against reality (see what i did there... hehehe)

So confident going in to Georgia's 6th District... and, well.... oops...

They don't know shit about the country beyond their newsrooms, where they gather in staff meetings, congratulate themselves and reaffirm each others brilliance... a circle jerk is what they are.

It should be embarrassing to them...
But, I'm pretty sure they just blame Trump Nation for getting it wrong again.

The Georgia Run-Off

Everything you need to know I'll yell ya right now:

If the Democrat wins, this is the biggest referendum on Trump (since the biggest referendum on Trump in Montana, until it didn't matter, because 'Trump' won) ever... One Congressional district means more, (no, really really it does,) than an entire national campaign... a sure sign that Trump has lost the country and the people are demanding immediate impeachment.

If the Republican wins, the story will disappear within 36 hrs.

That there folks is the Cohort Media and how it works.

Thank you for tuning in.
Enjoy the show.

The Green is here. Where are you?

They're not even trying to fake it.

Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III is investigating the finances and business dealings of Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law and adviser, as part of the investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.

FBI agents and federal prosecutors have also been examining the financial dealings of other Trump associates, including former national security adviser Michael Flynn, former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Carter Page, who was listed as a foreign-policy adviser for the campaign.

The Washington Post previously reported that investigators were scrutinizing meetings that Kushner held with Russians in December — first with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and then with Sergey Gorkov, the head of a state-owned Russian development bank. At the time of that report, it was not clear that the FBI was investigating Kushner’s business dealings.

This is nothing but a fishing expedition, trying to find anything, or even no 'thing', for the media cohort to blow out of proportion and/or just plain lie about. They have made shit up.. we know that already...

Seriously... If Russian financial ties to our political process were a concern for the prosecutor, the Hillary case can still be reopened, and there is actual evidence that already has been uncovered.
(Jeff Sessions, Please come to the Courtesy Desk and collect your testicles.)

Make no mistake... this is a coup in process.
The Constitution will soon be as dead as Rule of Law became during the Obama Administration.

My prediction: President Trump will not finish his term as The President of the United States that elected him.

IF he plays his cards right, he can still be the President of what remains.
He needs to go Total War.
Scorched Earth.
Launch investigations into every Democrat, and... yes... The Bush Family, and whoever that Nancy Boi is that leads the House whose name escapes me...
yeah.. 
Paul Ryan...
total Sissy...
Not one of us...
a real life cuckold, I'm sure of it... (there might be videos)
We already know the cuck he is... videos not required.
Am I right?
You know I am.
Yes, you know it, too..
a Cuck...
a total Cuck he is..
then, Why oh Why, have you repeatedly  elected him???
are you a Cuck, as well?

McConnell, too.
What the Fuck...
add Jeff 'No Nads' Sessions to this list...
Scorched. Fucking. Earth, Baby...

Burn this bitch down.
Destroy it all.
This nation, and what it stood for (Democracy, and Rule Of Law), no longer exists.
Nothing can be lost if it's already gone.

Can you not see that this republic is dying, soon to be dead, and there is no turning back?
There is no turning back...
It's over, fucker!
Get that shit.

But, we can make a new one.
Of course we can...
Its been done before...
On this same continent even...
where the highest amongst us were still held to some account...
where elections were still mostly respected...
and why so many migrants wanted to become 'one with us' in the first place (like, my own father).

Those things are gone, now.
'America', as it was understood, is dead in America.
There is no 'America', anymore...
Hopefully...
We can bring some of it back.

I will support him.
As will so many others.
We are here.

Pointing The Finger

This latest act of political violence from the left needs to be placed directly at the feet of the DNC and  it's leadership.

The violent rhetoric has been going on for 18 months now. From cable news hosts who pose with severed heads, A-List celebrities talking about blowing up the White House, ANTIFA thugs setting fire to occupied buildings, political office holders making wild and false claims of stolen/hacked elections...
and not to the mention that 'Nazi' label...
after all this they are shocked,  shocked!   that one  of their faithful has engaged in a act of political assassination.

Well... what other answer is there to a verifiable Nazi in the White House?

I won't buy into that bullshit certain quarters of the Right and Left want to engage in: how this is a tragedy and only one man is at fault.
And it is bullshit.
This is directly traceable to the deeds of a DNC cultural/political/media elite that has refused to admonish their thugs.
These thugs are the spirit babies of Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and Clinton Inc who refuse to accept the results of an election, or even pay minor lip service to the concerns of those who delivered defeat to them.
This is a Civil War, and the shooting has just started.

My prediction: More blood will be shed. It's going to get uglier.

Comey is exposed as just another political operative/leaker.

I remain Viva Trump.
Oppose him, you oppose me.
It's personal.

When The Law Isn't

Precedents are being set, and they are not good ones. *LINK*

President Trump's second attempt at banning immigration from select countries has again been overturned by another anti-Trump judge.

The language of the Immigration and Nationality Act is plain enough: “Whenever the president finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate.”

The law is clear that the President has sole discretion for any reason he deems, or for no reason at all.

Instead, we have a lawless judge driven by hatred of Anything Trump as opposed respect for the law and constitution he is sworn to uphold...
For the second time out of two...
While fully one half of the nation, and 98% of the media, cheer.

The Republic is dissolving before our eyes.

Bring it.

I Think Not

Pat Buchanan asks the only question that matters:The question is, is can we sustain this kind of intensity for 44 more months?

Let me rehash for you all, the Trump Agenda... why Trump Nation voted for Trump:
-Border Security
-protecting the American working class.
It's not complicated.
And... he was the only person from either party to make these issues a cornerstone (i.e the raison d'etre , if you are a Hillary voter/French/Bush Republican/same thing... so Fuck you. If you are Paul Ryan, go fuck yourself twice, and you'd probably enjoy that) of his Presidency.

IF you oppose Trump, you oppose the American working class.
You oppose 80% of America.
You oppose me.
It's personal.

The constant drumbeat of the fake corrupt press, the incessant Schumerizing of reportage, the John McCain crowd, the Bush Family Outfit, the Courts...
These, and others, are my enemy.

Trump may go down, as the Press, the DNC and the GOP all plot against him... but these issues will still remain.
See, you keep thinking it's about Trump. And for for those who oppose him, it is.
But it's not.
We didn't vote for Trump, The Man.
Trump, The Man came to us... offering deliverance.
A deliverance that nobody else believed we deserved.
Why is that?

Why is it, that you can hate one man so strongly that you lose all compassion for the rest of your country? (There is a parable here, but I'll leave that to those in a different pay grade.)

Trying to put a nation back together afterward will be a tough go, though, because remember...

Trump Nation are all a bunch of deplorable ignorant loser Nazi racists who fuck their siblings and never seen a dentist; unworthy of any respect or understanding.

Those who I expect to win this current struggle  will not be kind to us.
We are "not part of America." We have been told as much already.
So where do we go from here?

We have ceased to be a democracy and have become a mobacracy.
The strongest mob runs the show.
Unfortunately, the ones who voted for Trump, we who drastically need the change in policy, are too busy working overtime while  trying to provide for our families, to 'mob up' and cause trouble... until the day arrives, when we decide that there is nothing left to lose...
(when we decide to act like college students, you won't soon forget it.)
 A few of us are already there... (You first, I'll be right behind ya... No, you first... I'll be right behind ya...)


Shaming us didn't work last November, did it?
It won't work later, either.  

I don't know when that day will arrive.
I only know that it is getting closer.

Creepy

The last day of March, three years ago, I bought into this brand new Kia Sorento. (It is the second biggest mistake of my life, without a doubt. I will never again purchase the Kia nameplate, and neither should you)

The car came with a 10year/100,000 mile warranty.

Two days ago, I turned the 100,000 mile mark.

This morning, I get a phone call informing me that my warranty has expired and would I like to purchase an extension.

How did they know that my three year old car just turned 100,000 miles???
This is creepy, if you ask me.

Maybe Mexico Needs To Build Thier Own Wall

So, now there is talk in Mexico of instituting a border crossing fee as retaliation for the USA building a wall.

Go for it, Mexico. I haven't crossed your border in over 30 years, and should I choose to do so in the future I won't mind paying an entry fee.
You see, it's called 'maintaining and controlling your border'. Something you have refused to do as a good neighbor for several decades now. I'm glad you are finally coming around and seeing things our way.

I could go on, but I've got a wall to build.

China's Bastard

Wow... It's been nearly a month since my last post. I apologize. Things got a bit busy and time got away from me. I'll try to remedy that....

Center headlines appears to be North Korea, and the bastards they are. I got some thoughts on that ...

-I don't care who the President is, no nuclear power should be allowed to to carry on with the threats and outright bellicosity the Norks have been getting away with for too many years.
Have nukes is not just a privilege. It also requires a sense of responsibility.
Thank God that we finally have A Man in charge who won't put up this shit much longer.

-China all but gave birth to the nation of North Korea, and has nurtured them along all these years. In real life, if a crazy dog is threatening the neighbors and disturbing the neighborhood, it's the owner's responsibility to bring him to heel, or snuff him.

-We have plenty of leverage over China that until now previous presidents haven't seen fit to use. Once again, it's good to see that we finally have A Man in charge

-North Korea better be made into China's problem real quick like. There is no better solution than this.

John Lever: You Don't Know Who He Is, But You Should

I've mentioned in the past that I have a cultish obsession with a particular Manchester, UK band called The Chameleons.
It was with great sadness today that I have learned of the death of John Lever, who manned the skins for The Chameleons and did a lot of other work in his time.

John Lever wasn't just a drummer. He wasn't the 'bash and crash', rhythm-keeper drummers are known to be, but was a musician of the highest order, taking songs to another level, giving them life and dimension. John Bonham of Led Zeppelin is widely known for his greatness. John Lever was his equal. Damn straight, and every bit of it.



Catch that break after the intro. The pulse, followed by a series of hits and fills... stirring the piece to life, taking it to a higher plane.



Or this... No bash and crash, not frantic... It's subtle. Not many of those who bang skins can do this. I was a drummer back in the day, and I can tell you that drummers are not subtle. Never. We aren't created that way. What you are hearing here is a true musician applying his craft.  It says a lot when a drummer can go unnoticed while dominating a piece. He does it.




The Chameleons were influential with their use of dual guitar melodies. What goes unnoticed here is a seemingly different melody.  John Lever provides the intro: Pounding. Driving. Tone setting. The guitars enter the fray and things start to change. The strikes seem 'off'. Not where the typical drummer would put them. He's playing a different melody, to different time... but the timing is perfect. He is mortar and lace, holding the bricks together: weaving tween the guitars, enabling them to reach for the skies... and taking them there himself at moments.
Awesome work, by an awesome man.

The Chameleons never achieved the level of respect they deserved. Not much is known about him outside of his artistic circle. This means that John Lever will go largely unnoticed by the greater Rock n Roll community. This is a damn shame.

I do know that he was somebody's son. He was a father. A husband. Others loved him for reasons far greater than mine, and their loss pales in comparison to what I'm feeling. Today, my thoughts are with his family, his friends, and the Manchester music community.

Thank you, John Lever, for what you have given to me, and to the world. Your time here has meant so much, to so many.

Save The Planet!!

Ya think I'm joking, but I'm as serious as a heart attack... hear me out....

Much has been mentioned of a Border Tax on goods to protect American manufacturing.
First off, I want to say that it's a wonderful idea who's time arrived years ago.


The open borders crowd, on both the Right and the Left, will never go for it. These people hate the idea of an America that has any borders at all.
And, it is considered racist to put brown-skinned American workers before brown-skinned Non-American workers. (yeah, I know... explain that shit with logic if you can...)
You will never sell them on a Border Tax.

Therefore,  I believe it to be a non-starter, doomed to fail... and all because of semantics.
Call it something else.
You can never win the debate while the other side controls the language.

Call it the Environmental Impact Fee.
We've lost much of our manufacturing base do to environmental regulations. It is totally not fair to the American worker to expect him to compete in a market stacked against him due to environmental protections that the typical worker in China or Mexico (among others) doesn't have to abide by.
But what good is mandating that goods be produced with care to the environment when these same goods can be produced elsewhere, the planet be damned, and sold much cheaper (and thereby manufactured more often, damaging the Earth that much more) in the very place where their manufacture has been effectively outlawed... in order to protect the Earth?

Guess what? The Earth is not being saved this way.
Save the Earth!!!!
Propose the Environmental Impact Fee.
Why?
Because you'll get the support of all those sandal-wearing nancies at Whole Foods... How dare Hollywood get up on that podium and speak against it?... The college professors will wet themselves over it... Challenge any judge to strike it down...  Nobody from the traditional nature-raping wing of the GOP (Bush's, Romney's et al) can risk standing opposed...
and...
...it totally rips the moral high ground away from 'emerging' nations.
See? see?... ya dread-locked hippie? Mexico really does suck... get over it...

Trump wins, American workers win and the Planet is saved.
What's not to like?

And Again...

One paragraph tells you everything you need to know

Watson issued his 43-page ruling less than two hours after hearing Hawaii's request for a temporary restraining order to stop the ban from being put into practice.

43 pages in less than two hours?
The judge ruled before he even bothered to hear arguments in the case.
This can not be allowed to stand in a republic.
But it will... for now at least.

The republic is dying, folks. I've said it before.

When  judges are blatantly lawless, the law ceases to exist.
As it currently stands, only one of two choices will resolve this issue and steer the future: Total surrender of  the Right... or the use of arms.
There are no other options.

It is/was your country.
How badly do you want it back?

Are You Not Entertained?

It is a serious federal offense, a felony, to make public another citizen's private income tax return. Can't remember who, but I do remember one reporter/journalist/shill  making a public appeal to anybody within the IRS to leak Donald Trump's tax return to him.

Should it occur: The reporter/journalist/shill will achieve fame and accolades. Chucky Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, the Bushes, Romneys and the rest of the GOP robber barons and Mojado lovers will likely receive improved political fortunes.
The Leaker, on the other hand, will likely face serious jail time.
(Trust me: the political class will not be going to bat to protect the leaker. To do so  allows a precedent that will make one of them the next victim, 'cause they all got something to hide.)

I found it troubling when Rachel Maddow announced that she had possession of Trump's tax return and would reveal it's contents on her show. I was at work all day, so I get most of my misinformation off my phone half the time, and today was no exception.

I really didn't know what to expect when I checked the phone after her show ended.
I absolutely didn't expect the Geraldo level 'Capone's Vault' nothing burger that it turned out to be.

My thoughts: no other than Donald Trump, himself, released this tax form from 2005. Part of his success through out this righteous crusade has been his ability to troll the press/opposition (same thing).
He's good at it.
The more unhinged and dishonest the journalism community appears, the better it is for Trump.
Obama was a good troll, too. He enjoyed setting off the whack jobs of the Right. It was easy to do, and provided him the brush to paint all of his opposition in the same vein.

Trump has taken it to a higher level.
Alex Jones (who nobody takes seriously to but the Left), has been replaced in this role by respected, mainstream reporters/journalists/shills (same thing)... and once again, they shat their shorts.
In public.
High profile short shatting.
Trump won...
Bigley.

The GOP finally has a true political warrior not seen since Ronald Reagan.



I'm really beginning to love this guy.

Random Thoughts On The Russia Thing

First off, I don't doubt that Russia tried to influence our election. Ever since the 1950's (maybe sooner) the USSR (same as Russia, really.) has tried to play some kind of influential role in our politics. The Peace Movement was funded in large part with money channeled through Soviet Bloc intermediaries. This is known. Does any of this make the election of Jimmy Carter illegitimate? No... but damn, I sure wish that it did.

-I don't think Russia ever expected Trump to win this election. I think the hacking and spreading of the Hillary emails was done to sow tumult among the crew that was fully expected to be in charge... and a way to let them know how much difficult life could be for them if they gave Putin too much trouble down the road.
Seriously, anybody who did any level of homework per Trump and Hillary would know that the easier road for Russia was through Hillary. She was a known quantity and a proven kisser of Putin Ass.

-These things said... the United States has always attempted to affect the politics of many other nations. We played a strong role in luring  Ukraine westward (much to Russia's consternation) and most recently, Obama played heavily in the attempt to oust a democratically-elected Netanyahu in Israel. Current protestations by today's Democrats and the Main Stream Media (same thing, I know....) ring hollow in these ears.

-Russia is not a threat to the existence or security of the United States, unless we want them to become one. The Cold War is over. To keep fighting it, as many in the GOP want to do, is a disservice to the memory of Ronald Reagan, who won it for us, in the hope that there may be peace between us.
Peace and cooperation should always be the end game of a just struggle.

-Russia is not just a country. It is one of the West's great empires, who's language, culture, arts, values and faith tremendously influenced one half of Western civilization. Eastern Europe is Christian, instead of Muslim, because an Orthodox Russia made it possible.
To continually attempt rubbing their nose in their Cold War defeat, which was humiliating for a proud people on several levels, is a disservice to European unity, and Europe in general. And again, an affront to everything Ronald Reagan worked for.


-Putin is a bad actor. Yeah, so?

-No way, no how, not ever, ever would Donald Trump use Russian dressing on his salad. Everybody knows that Green Goddess is way more better.

Now You Know How The Rest Of Us Feel

Trump's popularity set to rise on University of California campuses

The University of California, San Francisco on Tuesday laid off 49 information technology (IT) employees and outsourced their work to a company based in India, ending a year-long process that has brought the public university under fire.

The university announced the plan last July as a way to save $30 million over five years. The University of California system, which includes health care and research-focused UCSF, has been struggling to raise revenue and cut expenses.

Globalization and outsourcing have become hot-button political issues in the United States, as more employers cut costs by farming out work to low-cost workers in far-flung parts of the world. President Donald Trump campaigned on promises to restore lost U.S. jobs and to penalize companies that move factories overseas.

This was the University of California's first outsourcing, said a spokeswoman who added that the layoffs were necessary due to rising costs of technology. In addition to the 49 staff layoffs, another 48 positions that were vacant or filled by contractors were eliminated.

California Senator Dianne Feinstein last year said the university had a responsibility to keep jobs in the United States and pledged to seek reforms to stop domestic jobs being outsourced.

Kurt Ho, 58, a laid off systems administrator, carried a box of his personal items with an American flag draped over it, and said the university's decision will hurt service for a medical staff that relies on a smoothly running and secure computer network.

"It's a downgrading of services and a slap in the face for the customers," said Ho, who has worked in IT in the Bay Area for 25 years. He said he plans to look for a job but worries that outsourcing of IT services is a growing trend.

 "Get a tech job" they said. "You'll always have security".
So many times I heard this back when I was skipping classes.

Nobody is safe. The upper levels will always get theirs while expecting their 'staffs' to compete with Third World lifestyles. This is not what America was about, but it absolutely is what it has become.

On another note: it seems kinda wrong, don't it, that jobs paid for by American taxpayers are going to provide incomes for workers in far off lands?

The Future Is Already Here

There is much talk this off season about the future of the Quarterback position for the Chicago Bears. Anything can happen at this point, and I don't think General Manager Ryan Pace or Coach John Fox are sure they know, either.

This is a team in the process of a total rebuild. That we know. We will be needing a new man under center before long, and Pace hasn't drafted any kind of a QB in the three years he's been pulling the levers.
I don't know why.

I'll go through my thoughts of the three QBs we currently have on the roster:

First off, there is Jay Cutler, the most abused QB on the field or off. His upside is sky high, but he has a few faults... among them attempting to put the ball where only he can, hoping his receiver makes a play.
He's the typical gunslinger, and damn, is he talented.
A talent that has been largely squandered away by the Bears coaching staff.
He plays with heart and passion, never flinching when lowering his shoulder to to lay out a defender. (He doesn't like to slide like the wussy QBs do).

Second, we have Brian Hoyer.
He's a good Quarterback, who makes good decisions, which shouldn't be too hard to do when you only play football within 10 yards from scrimmage.
He put up lots of yards last year, but seems allergic to the white goal-line powder.
And, he can't throw past 10-15 yards.
He has all the gifts that a QB needs tween the ears, none of the gifts required tween the shoulders.
He's an effective game manager, as long as scoring isn't part of the management plan.

Third, is Matt Barkley.
He's not really bad.
He's also not very good.
He has many of the tools to possibly become a QB in the NFL, but I think his window has closed.
That, and he has accuracy issues.
I'm of the belief that many things can be developed in a QB, but accuracy isn't one of them. It's a natural gift that is possessed, or not.





Fourth, is the guy who is not there yet, but is expected to be there come training camp. Just who or what or how is a different discussion, I think.

The talk among Bears circles is that Jay Cutler will be gone this year.
He can be cut for for free, having gone through his guaranteed portion (3yrs) of  a 7 year contract. Coach Fox prefers the game manager type QB (Hoyer) and doesn't much care for the aggressive passing-attack type of QB that Cutler is. The general consensus is that the Bears will draft/sign/trade for a QB of the future and start Brian Hoyer as a bridge while the new face is developed.

My suggestion, what I would do if I was in charge...

Keep Cutler for this season, and maybe the next...

Keep Hoyer as a reliable back up.
This is his career ceiling, anyway... and he's good at it.

Cut Barkley.
I like Barkley, personally. He plays with a spirit and attitude that I appreciate. And he's a local (to me) boy. A Homie. But being 'almost an NFL QB' is not the same as being an actual NFL QB. (he'd be competing for a starter gig somewhere if he had some accuracy to his arm, but he doesn't, so he isn't.)

Draft two QBs this year (or UDFAs, whatever...) in the middle rounds, say rounds 3 to 5. Reliable athletes with accurate arms that can be groomed-up and taught the teachable stuff,  to compete against each other for the future. Barring any obvious one-of-a-kind prospects (there are none in the draft this year), this is the best way to go.
I would tend toward stout-bodied types (like Big Ben, or Favre) who could take NFL punishment.
A Polynesian, Negro, or Hybrid-race maybe? Heavy bone structure. A big, confident boy that can't be hurt easily.
Durability trumps God-given talent. Just ask Rex Grossman about that... or RGIII.


Spend our early picks on obvious play-makers at other positions. This strengthens the team over all, making life a whole lot easier on whatever QB you choose to play. (seriously... look at the Patriots. Brady was not that good in the Super Bowl. On any other team, he would have sucked, but he had play makers all around him... making plays.)

Why Cutler, if he is not the future?
Because Cutler is the best QB available to the Bears this year. He gives us the best chance to win, on any given day.
Winning builds confidence and morale for the whole team.
Winning  attitudes and winning cultures are created by teams that win games.
If you are not confident in Week 1, you wont be confident in February, either.
It's all about February, isn't it?

Jay Cutler may not be the future of the Bears,  but the future of the Bears can be found through him.




what?
you came here expecting politics and shit???
I don't roll that way.
I like to mix shit up...
But you knew that, already... right?
That's why you came here, isn't it?

California Rising

Threatening secession is far from the only thing California has in common with the Old South

Over 60 percent of California voters went for Hillary Clinton — a margin of more than 4 million votes over Donald Trump.

Since Clinton’s defeat, the state seems to have become unhinged over Trump’s unexpected election. “Calexit” supporters brag that they will have enough signatures to qualify for a ballot measure calling for California’s secession from the United States.

Some California officials have talked of the state not remitting its legally obligated tax dollars to the federal government. They talk of expanding its sanctuary cities into an entire sanctuary state that would nullify federal immigration law. (emphasis mine)

The leadership of California is doubling down in the face of Trump America. As for that more than 60% that voted for Hillary Clinton, I can tell you that she got very few votes from my co-workers. This largely Hispanic group of factory stiffs went overwhelming for Trump.

They boasted that “King Cotton” had created the wealthiest class in the United States. Silicon Valley now often assumes that Google, Facebook, Apple, and others are near-trillion-dollar companies that are a world unto their own.

Like California, South Carolina and other Confederate states bragged that their unique economies did not need the Union. Slavery and the extravagant income from cotton warped the Southern economy and culture.

A wealthy plantation elite, with its millions of exploited slaves, ensured that there would be virtually no middle, working, or small-business class.

Read the rest.

I'll be touching more, a lot more, on this topic in the weeks and months ahead.

White And Black Are The Same Color.

Heroin is kicking our ass.

California’s millennials continue to flood hospital emergency departments because of heroin, a trend that has increased steadily statewide and in Los Angeles and Orange counties over the past five years, according to the latest figures.

The state data released last week show that in the first three months of 2016, 412 adults age 20 to 29 went to emergency departments due to heroin. That’s double the number for the same time period in 2012.

I was with one of them. A friend from the other side of town. (I've acquired 'friends' doing bail that I would not have normally acquired...maybe that's why I like doing it? )
I remember the doc matter-of-factly advising them 'Stay away from the heroin' as he dug an abscess out of their arm. He didn't need to be told where it came from. He was seeing it too often as it was. (Friend is currently clean again.)

I was first exposed to heroin back in my sophomore year of high school.
An early  childhood buddy took to experiencing teen life the hard way.
He showed me how to cook and inject it (as he fixed himself up) and warned me 'you don't want this'.

He got help soon afterward.

I took his advice and stayed away from things that required needles. (Thanks, Dave!)


After that, heroin was largely easy for me to avoid... for the most part.
Basically, it was the topic of rock star biographies, and ghetto culture.
But not anymore.
As the article states, it has now invaded the better families in the better neighborhoods.

Black Tar Heroin (or just 'Black' on the streets) is lower grade and rather cheap to acquire (as opposed to the China White, that Dave had that day) and has taken California and the Southwest by storm. It all comes from across the southern border with Mexico.
All of it.
Black is everywhere.
So much so, that even I, a non-user, know where I can get hooked- up if wanted to. Probably within one hour of making a phone call.


And... this is where shit gets personal for me...
Last year, the grandson of a long-time friend of 'The Ex' died from an overdose. Brandon was 26.
Six months before that, the neighbor across the street also lost her grandson to a heroin overdose. Seth was 22.
But why? How?
I don't live in a ghetto, and my friends are not in the music business.
Seth's grandfather is a retired, 20yr career United States Marine, from the Vietnam era.. who still takes no shit from nobody.
I'm not talking about the dregs of society.
Decent kids, from solid families.

I had some acquaintance with both of these young men. They were not bad people. These were not born losers. They were both talented, energetic, respectful and charming kids, always looking for full-time work (there isn't much around), but found the wrong way to deal with their idle time and were lost to heroin.
(hmmm... maybe if they had a factory job to show up to, they would have been too busy, and tired, to find other things to amuse them?  Idle hands are the Devil's tools. Yes, they are.)

We need to secure the border.
We need to bring gainful employment for our youth back to our land.
Or maybe... your family might be next in line to lose one whom cannot be replaced?

Donald Trump was the only candidate from either party to address the effects of the heroin epidemic on our youth.
He was the only one who promised to restore a proper border to our land.
He was the only one to acknowledge the weeping of families forever devastated by trade and border policies that only favor the upper 20%.
He was the only one who even pretended to care about all of the American people.

For all of his faults and shortcomings, Donald J Trump was the only one on the ballot who deserved to be on that ballot.

This is why he is our President today.

Viva Trump...
God willing.

The Bad Side Of Trump

This is the part about President Trump that worries me:

When Gen. Michael Flynn marched into the White House Briefing Room to declare that “we are officially putting Iran on notice,” he drew a red line for President Trump. In tweeting the threat, Trump agreed.

Don't you think it's a little soon in  the administration to be starting international shit????

High among the reasons that many supported Trump was his understanding that George W. Bush blundered horribly in launching an unprovoked and unnecessary war on Iraq.

Along with the 15-year war in Afghanistan and our wars in Libya, Syria and Yemen, our 21st-century U.S. Mideast wars have cost us trillions of dollars and thousands of dead. And they have produced a harvest of hatred of America that was exploited by al-Qaida and ISIS to recruit jihadists to murder and massacre Westerners.

Osama’s bin Laden’s greatest achievement was not to bring down the twin towers and kill 3,000 Americans, but to goad America into plunging headlong into the Middle East, a reckless and ruinous adventure that ended her post-Cold War global primacy.

Unlike the other candidates, Trump seemed to recognize this.

My sentiments, exactly.

Iran is publicly 'on notice'. It cannot back down. Neither can President Trump. This may be what ends his presidency earlier than he expected.

Oy...

Speech For Me, Not For Thee

There once was a time when U.C. Berkeley was known as the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement on college campuses. My, oh my, have things changed.

I'm fairly familiar with Milo. I read him pretty regularly.
He's provocative, to be sure, but I don't find his statements anywhere near as incendiary as what is spouted by public figures on the left.
His big crime is his ability to tweak the hypersensitivities of  Snowflake Nation. Not a hard thing to do if you willing to actually do it. This guy will not tip toe through the eggshells. That's why they hate him.

Unfortunately, this is what discourse has come to in the United States: Name calling. Intimidation. Threats. Violence itself.
It's only a matter of time before this becomes a two-sided war, wherein  the Right responds in kind. This will not end prettily.
We are a sick country.

Tapping The Brakes

I'd like to comment on President Trump's recent order barring people from certain Muslim countries for 90 days, or something like that...
But I can't...
Because I do not trust a single news source out there to give me an honest take.

Instead, I'll just explain my thoughts on the issue.

First off, every single nation has the absolute right to decide who does and does not enter their territory. This is what it means to be a nation. Take this away, and nationhood ceases to exist in any real sense.

We got that right, right?
(if you disagree, just 'click' the fuck out of here now, ok, because we got nothin else to talk about...)

Is it a good idea to tap the brakes on refugees coming from Muslim lands? Well, considering the terror threat and all, I'd say 'Yes'.
ISIS has already declared their intent to infiltrate the refugee hoard that invades Europe, so where is the issue here?
Why is there even an issue?????

Yeah, I know... only 1% of Muslims suck, or something like that... and the other 99% are totally cool. I get that.
I also get that it only takes one of those muslims-that-do-suck to create a disturbing level of havoc.

The San Bernadino Christmas party that became a massacre hit me a little closer to home that most people know.
It occurred in a neighborhood that I frequently find myself in.
But there is more to it than just that: a personal friend of mine (my tax person) was a  personal friend of a man who died there.
From my perch... shit is real, ok?

I know, I know...
Refugees.
People seeking refuge.
The 'tempest tossed', if you will.
America should always be a beacon.
It is who we are.
But we also need to be careful.
Even back in the glory days of Ellis Island (my Nonuzz entered there in 1919, along with his father (my Nonuzzo) and his older brother) we were careful about who we allowed in.
Health, and other standards had to be met.
It was not uncommon for somebody to be refused entry on account of health and disease issues. (That's right... back in boat, sucker... we don't want you.)

Coming to America was a privilege, not a right, and many people, through no fault of their own, were not welcomed here.
America is a special place.
It is unique.
Nobody, not one person, from anywhere, for any reason... should be entitled to enter our land.


We need to get back to that notion again if we want to preserve the specialness of American identity.

Somebody On Our Side For A Change

"Somebody on our side, for a change."
I heard variations of this phrase most of the day.

As I've stated before, I'm a mill worker. I've been there just shy of 25yrs. Fully one half of my co-workers have been there longer than I. Needless to say, we are an aging bunch without many options left, and this is still the best gig we can get.

It's still the best gig because after this, there is not an other gig to be had.
The factories are closing. Automation has made it possible to do more with fewer workers. This is not a bad thing. Automation also makes the work a little less hard on our aging bodies, too.

Progress being progress, me and my 125 co-workers are under pressure with every contract. Give up more benefits (we've not much left anymore). Give up more pay. (a 40hr paycheck can no longer pay a man's rent in Southern California. There was once a time men bought agreeable homes and raised families with stay-at-home mothers. Those guys are all retired now.)

Our medical plan, once an envy to all who didn't have it, has been shit-canned as well. We now have this shiny new plan, (take it or leave it, bitches), where the out-of-pocket costs amount to just shy of 20% of our gross 40 hour earnings. Gross, not net. Get that.

Our employer labels it "Consumer Driven Health Care"... because we, the insured, are in charge. In short, the price of a doctor visit is often too prohibitive, so the consumer (us) decides not to see one. It is why I cancelled doctor mandated yearly MRIs of my brain stem. It's why many of us don't have procedures and tests done when we should. We'll save that for next year, and maybe put two or three surgeries together and meet our maximum early... and then ride gravy the rest of the year. We got rent to pay, ya know, because most of us lost our mortgages already....

Last March, a co-worker, and a friend,  passed away due to kidney failure.  He was a hard working man, raising a son alone. He had choices to make. Sure, being severely diabetic he should have done more to take care of himself, but he kept putting shit off... (have you seen my last bill?)... Dude, get to the fucking doctor!!!!...  (have you seen my last bill?)
He collapsed at work and the ambulance took him away. I was there. Yes, I was. (grasping his hand... I got you bro, we got this. Ok. We got this shit.)

It was the last time he and I would speak in person, though we did text regularly.
"Kidneys are shot..,,, told me I cant go back" . This was the last text I got from him. He soon went coma... and was gone 25 days later.
I miss working with him, seeing him every day, the jokes, the laughs, his unique character, his sense of humor. Few people are like him.
He was such the wit.
Manuel was 46.

Forty fucking six!

Manuel was a real person. A human being. A devoted father. A hardworking American, who rarely called off.
His grandchild will never know him.
He had real value to those of us that knew him. But not so much to those in charge. We are just a bunch a worker ants,ya know.... disposable... to serve the queen.
To serve Wall Street and the interests of corporate donors.
Because being an American doesn't carry much weight anymore among  those who populate the American government...
There is always somebody else, south of the border, willing to service 'America' for much less.
I dont know  how much less 'less' can be...
I don't  know what 'America' is anymore, or if I am even allowed to be a part of it.
Maybe, I just might be better off in the eyes of America if I wasn't an American anymore???
I don't know.

Manuel deserved better.
That I do know.

A nation should exist for the benefit of it's citizens.


Viva Trump!
He gets it.

Whoring The Sidebar

I've been a regular follower of The Lumberjack since about the first day of my blogging life. A prolific producer of witty photoshops, he's actually more like the blog version of the traditional political cartoonist.

He doesn't usually do much in the way of writing most times, but there is this saying about pictures equaling words. In this respect, he pretty mouthy.


He created this image 8yrs ago. Google it, and you will find it has been borrowed by several other sites as well. He's now merchandising it just in time for Trump's inaugaration. All proceeds, I'm sure, will go to benefit somebody or something or maybe even himself...
Either, or or whatever... It's a worthy cause.
And what better way to commemorate the end of the Obama era?

Well, what you waiting for?
Click over there and give him your money!

HI there!

Been a while, I know.... I apologize for the slow start after pegging my return at 'around the first of the year'... but I'm here, now.

I want to start with several thoughts of the past year, election-wise, since that seems to be what's in the news.

First off: I voted for Trump. Yes. I did.
I had honestly spent most of the past election season fully expecting to not vote at all. Then Comey decided Hillary wasn't worthy of prosecution and I knew I had to vote. Not for Trump, but as a statement against Hillary and the Clinton corruption machine.
One these only two were going to become the next POTUS.
Carrying 3rd party water was a cop-out in my opinion, so I went all in for Trump. "Loud and Proud", as I called it, and I really didn't care who was upset by it.
I made a choice.

A few long time friends (even two blogger ones, where, ya know... the exchange of differing thoughts and opinions is kinda the accepted norm and is a primary basis for the friendship to exist in the first place) were genuinely upset and 'disappointed' by my decision and decided to cut ties.
I thought they were better than that.
It's all good.

My appetite for another's uppity, self-righteous prickery is limited... so Fuck You! anyway.
They aren't missed.

It wasn't too hard of a choice for me, really.
Though it was a choice I had decided to not make in the beginning, Trump was the only one out there actually speaking to the issues that mattered the most to me, and to most people who reside within my socio-economic tribe: the loss of our nation's manufacturing base, the transfer of decent jobs across the border, the unwillingness to defend our borders, and a perceived (if not real) all out assault from the Powers That Be on what being an American was all about.

Standing where I was on the sidelines while in much agreement with those of my Tribe on the issues, it really pissed me off seeing Trump's supporters branded as ignorant, racist, stupid, deplorable, and 'not part of America'.
I had to stand with my people. There was nothing else... no other righteous decision left for me to make.

Something very different and polarizing was happening in my country... Where one side used to try to convince the other side that their cause was better, we had a complete turn around. It came down to "if you are not on our higher moral plain, then you suck!"

Well, guess what, you uppity prick motherfuckers?... We are part of America. The part that is in charge now. Your weeping, protesting and marching humor me.

I just hope to God that Trump doesn't screw shit up.
