Jig Wiggly is a racist. He was born a racist. It’s bred into him. But, he is not alone. We are all born racists. The proof of this unassailable fact is judging by the color of one’s skin. Sure, some racists have a 140 IQ, some have a 90 IQ, but all are born racists. MLK is being thrown under the bus precisely because he DID NOT judge a man (or woman) solely by the color or their skin.

Boy, the Huff-n-Puff Post certainly has changed.

“The point I was making was not that my grandmother harbors any racial animosity. She doesn’t. But she is a typical white person who, uh, if she sees somebody on the street that she doesn’t know there’s a reaction that’s been been bred into our experiences that don’t go away and that sometimes come out in the wrong way and that’s just the nature of race in our society. We have to break through it...” - Senator Barack Obama

“Can you imagine if Hillary Clinton said someone was a “typical black person?”

“Seriously, Barack Obama basically called all white people racist. You know, because when us typical white folk walk down the street and see an African American coming our way we run to the other side of the road.”

What struck me most since the Squad alleged that Pelosi is a racist (and by extension all white people who are at odds with the Squad)) was this statement by Tlaib: Pelosi Has to ‘Be Aware’ We Are Women of Color When She Targets Us.”

Hmmm. So, when you talk to the Squad and call them out on policy differences, one must first and foremost see them through the prism of race and their group identity. Not their harebrained ideas, but through Identity Politics. Got it. See our differences first.

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden have both recently been accused of racism, or engaging in racist tropes, or whatever we’re calling it now. The attacks are nonsensical and absurd. Ultimately, so too are the attacks on Trump. Racism has become the new pornography. We know it when we see it, maybe. Or maybe we are wrong. Maybe saying “Whiteness is bad” is perfectly fine and everything is about the color of our skin.”

“I hope this isn’t the case. But I worry my hope is a rusted penny dropped in a fountain that can grant no wishes. My better and sensible mind knows that, just like pornography, racism will flourish under a “I know it when I see it”

Todd writes as part of a comment in the last Sandbox (to Rock Hunter)

" I suggest you go get some snort to speed you up......"

"Snort"-now there's a relic vintage biker slang that I haven't heard n years. Must go back to the time that Todd was a biker before was kicked out. He was auditioning to be in the Misfits, a Hells Angel wanna be gang but they rejected him. I have this information from someone very close to Todd in those days but I promised I wouldn't reveal it. That was when Todd dodged military service and wouldn't put his body on the line in a war he claimed he supported. Total hypocrite.

Awhile back, I grew tired of explaining the facts of law to the ignorant and now sit back and let them display their full blown absurdity for all to see. Glad I don’t get my information from whatever discredited sources of fakenews they rely on. Ignorance mixed with arrogance is the cup of which they sup. There are rewards to spectator sports.

“President Trump has won the second of three lawsuits alleging he violated the Constitution because foreigners and state officials patronize his businesses, such as the Trump Hotel in Washington, D.C.

“The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeal dismissed the claim by Maryland and the District of Columbia that Trump was violating the Constitution’s domestic and foreign emoluments clauses.

“In throwing out this latest suit, the Fourth Circuit chastised the plaintiffs for wasting the court’s time with a plainly meritless case.

“The court also scolded federal judge Peter Messitte, a Clinton appointee, for not throwing out the case sooner and for refusing to let the president appeal his erroneous rulings. Judge Messitte’s faulty reasoning “blinks reality,” the court said, and his actions “amounted to a clear abuse of discretion.”

“Judge Messitte’s rulings were so erroneous that the Fourth Circuit didn’t even wait for an appeal. It accepted the president’s request for writ of mandamus — a rarely granted procedural tool that allows early review of an otherwise non-appealable issue — to take the case away from Judge Messitte, reverse his rulings, and force him to throw the case out for good, without the possibility of further appeal.”

I took great interest in the fact that when Trump went to Merry O’ England, the FBI questioned Steele for 16 hours. Time will tell what the investigators were told. That time is approaching.

John Solomon on the Dossier.

“Multiple sources familiar with the FBI spreadsheet tell me the vast majority of Steele’s claims were deemed to be wrong, or could not be corroborated even with the most awesome tools available to the U.S. intelligence community. One source estimated the spreadsheet found upward of 90 percent of the dossier’s claims to be either wrong, nonverifiable or open-source intelligence found with a Google search.

“In other words, it was mostly useless.”

https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/453384-fbis-spreadsheet-puts-a-stake-through-the-heart-of-steeles-dossier

The Lefties keep telling us that the FICA warrants (especially the one on George the Greek to literally spy on the Trump Campaign) did not rely on the Dossier. In so, no other evidence or sources have been revealed to date. Time will tell.

Is this not the same crowd who told us about Kavanaugh’s high school days of running a serial gang rape ring? I believe it is.
—————-
Molly Hemingway, another reporter will unassailable credentials , wrote a book on the Kavanaugh circus

We Can’t Get Him One Way, We’ll Get Him Another

“They refrained from attacking accuser Christine Blasey Ford personally—they did not publicize her own alcohol-fueled escapades “in high school and college,” which were “dramatically at odds with her presentation in the media”—but they aggressively disputed her claims, and Kavanaugh “wanted a public hearing to clear his name.”

While Ford’s lawyers and the Democrats stalled, Kavanaugh was attacked with additional accusations. The media, drunk on the prospect of the Me Too movement toppling a Trump Supreme Court pick, hyped every new allegation. But unlike other Me Too cases, each new charge was less believable. The Democrats and their allies sought to establish a pattern of sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh, but the pattern they actually demonstrated was their willingness to promote any story, no matter how outlandish, to stop his nomination.

“After Ford and Kavanaugh finally testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Democrats leaned on Republican Sen. Jeff Flake and dramatically secured a delay for a new round of FBI interviews. This “frustrated Kavanaugh’s supporters, but the investigation turned out to be a godsend.” By the end of that weeklong effort, “each of the three main allegations against him was crumbling.” Reviewing the claims against him emphasizes that they ranged from implausible to insane.”

A Herd of Unproven Allegations
“Julie Swetnick’s lurid tales of high-school gang rape were “obviously ridiculous,” and her lawyer, Michael Avenatti, is a sleaze who is now facing a multitude of unrelated federal felony charges. Deborah Ramirez’s allegations were also self-discrediting. She refused to testify, no one at Yale University remembered seeing Kavanaugh expose himself to her, and she claimed to have clarified her recollections by spending six days wracking her alcohol-soaked memories “with an attorney provided by Democrats.”

“Blasey Ford’s story was the most credible of the accusations, and her emotional testimony impressed many. But former prosecutor Rachel Mitchell’s gentle questioning revealed how insubstantial Ford’s claims were: no location, no date, no recollection of how she got to the party or got home. Furthermore, the witnesses Ford named as having attended the party, including her longtime friend Leland Keyser, recalled nothing of the sort.

“Initially, Keyser had declared that although she could not corroborate her friend’s story, she still believed her. But “Justice on Trial” reveals that after her first interview with the FBI, Keyser had time to reflect and review details of the summer of 1982, and2 she lost confidence in Ford’s account of the incident and came to the conclusion that she had to supplement her statement to the FBI…During the second interview, Keyser described the summer with much more detail, adding that she didn’t believe there was any way she was at this gathering. She expressed concern at the pressure she had felt to go along with the story…She detailed certain parts of the story that didn’t make sense to her.
Keyser no longer trusted her old friend’s account, and though she did not want Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court, she would not lie to try to keep him off of it. Without corroboration, and with her inconsistencies exposed, Ford’s tale withered, leaving Democrats with nothing but bizarre theories about the juvenile jokes in Kavanaugh’s high school yearbook (had he perjured himself by wrongly defining “boof”?) and petulant complaints that he had become too upset when they falsely accused him of gang rape.

The question is not something of the past....more oriented to future programs and how you feel about liars. Nothing seems to upset you than someone who lies. Nothing.

Thanks Fish. There are some folks who I know every other word coming out of their mouths is a lie. Not a mistake, but a lie. I expect it, so I just take it with a grain of salt and consider the source.

(DON’T) LEAVE IT TO CLEAVER
Roll Call has a good account of what happened on the House floor yesterday as Nancy Pelosi violated House rules for the all-important purpose of calling President Trump racist. FOX News has a fuller story here.

When Rep. Doug Collins challenged the propriety of Pelosi’s remarks, Pelosi asserted that she had cleared them with the House parliamentarian. This appears to have been a lie. Roll Call reports:

Collins set off a more than hour-long review and debate over Pelosi’s comments before a decision could be rendered.

Finally, after a staffer could be heard saying to Cleaver, who was presiding over the House, that it was time to announce, “the chair is prepared to rule” and read a prepared statement, Cleaver instead said, “the chair is ready to make a statement” and set aside the printed remarks.

“I came in here to try to do this in a fair way. I kept warning both sides let’s not do this, hoping we could get through,” the Missouri Democrat said, referring to multiple times during the debate in which he had to admonish members for their language that didn’t comply with House rules.

“We don’t ever, ever, want to pass up an opportunity, it seems, to escalate. And that’s what this is,” he added, referring to Republicans’ motion to strike Pelosi’s remarks. “I dare anybody to look at any of the footage and see if there was any unfairness, but unfairness is not enough because we want to just fight.”

You won’t catch me screaming “Nancy Lied! Liar! Liar!!” No, I just would say ”Nancy Pelosi is a lying sack of shit”. Same with the lying sacks of shit AOC and Omar. To each their own. I know it’s who they are. Speaking of a lying sack of shit....

“When Rep. Doug Collins challenged the propriety of Pelosi’s remarks, Pelosi asserted that she had cleared them with the House parliamentarian. This appears to have been a lie.”...

“The Hill adds some poignant details to the story. As deliberations took place, the Hill notes, Pelosi exited the chamber despite members who have been flagged for potential violations being expected to remain on the floor. she apparently knew what was coming.”

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/07/dont-leave-it-to-cleaver.php

In other news, time to crap on the Wa Compost...again.

Wa Compost quote: “[Trump’s combustible formula of white identity politics] has pushed Democratic presidential candidates sharply to the left on issues such as immigration and civil rights, as they respond to the liberal backlash against him.”

The good news is that the Post has been forced by events to acknowledge that Democratic presidential candidates have moved “sharply to the left.” The bad news is that the Post has a fallback position: the move to the left is President Trump’s fault.

The pony tail of ignorance has another prognostication go down in flames, no impeachment for your popcorn fest!

The vote — 332 to 95, with one lawmaker voting "present" — marked the first time the Democratic-controlled chamber has weighed in on impeachment, an issue that has created a widening schism within the party. Progressive newcomers and several 2020 candidates have pushed for impeachment proceedings, but the House leadership, including Speaker Nancy Pelosi, has been resistant.

All Republicans joined with 137 Democrats and the lone independent, Justin Amash, to table the resolution. Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., voted against killing the resolution, which his spokesperson said was because he believed the House should have sent it to the Judiciary Committee for consideration.

Jig 255pm - It appears that with you the requirement to labor the obvious is always withstanding. You socialists have no idea how open markets work. The demand for physicians and healthcare workers is self-evident as the population grows. Their supply is hindered by both regulatory hurdles and price controls that is the specialty of your kind of governance. When you talk about too many old people causing the 'doctor shortage', you're blowing it out from where the sun don't shine.

[Jig Wiggly]

Rebane-
Seems as if you somehow, through osmosis maybe, understand the ails of the health care system better than the CDC, AMA, and the WHO. But of course, you are the world's expert on anything that crosses your desk, just ask you, so I shouldn't be surprised. Your sheep will believe.

"The demand for physicians and healthcare workers is self-evident as the population grows" is buffoonery at it's maximum. You feign ignorance of the fact that YOUR segment of the population siphons the majority of the health care, not the young illegal immigrants you and Mr Juvinall cast judgement upon. You expect a one to one increase in the number of "doctors" entering the system to match the gray wave exiting the planet.

The "demand is self evident" but this is not the 60's when doctors left school for family medicine and general practice. The vast bulk of today's doctors are specialists, sorry if you can't find an open GP in Grass Valley, but you'll be far better off today if you need a neuro surgeon than you would have been 20 years ago. It isn't simple, though you pretend that is nothing more than a simple game fostered on us by "the left."

in the "he's not really a racist" category --Senator Lindsey Graham said, " “A racist says ‘Go back to Somalia’ because you’re Somali or Muslim or whatever. That’s just the way he is. It’s more narcissism than anything else.”

In other words, trump is not a racist... he is just mentally ill.. In 2015, Graham referred to Trump as a “race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot,” but hey, that's what political parties are for, to turn the other cheek and put your finger to the wind and your head up your ass.

And all this time I thought trump was just a racist. thanks to Graham I now know trump is a mentally ill racist. Who would have thought?

[Jig Wiggly]

Rebane-
I gave you six or more links regarding the doctor shortage yesterday. Obviously you didn't deign to read them. You apparently don't need to. In these articles from across the nation (not just California) the notion of shortage seems to be well understood and established, despite your fingering with semantics and assertion to the contrary. Again, they (not just I) must all be wrong if only you are right.

[Bill Tozer]

Answer Rebane or he will stomp his feet like Punchy, but worse. Drop everything and be at Jigger’s beck and call. He wants to argue.

Heck, I met a local whose daughter went off to John Hopkins around the time Obamacare had been launched for a year or two. One of the top physicians pulled her aside and had a long talk with her to not get into medicine. The paperwork, the reimbursement rate, etc....don’t do it. So, she left and came back home to decide what to do next. My Doc dropped taking Obamacare after giving it a try. It’s quite the dirty word....and he was their earliest advocate. There has been warnings of Dr. shortages in the pre-Obamacare debate. I got laughed at over at the old Union site when Jeffie was the moderator. I was ringing the warnings about doctor shortages ahead, not enough in the pipeline. They mocked me. Hurt my feelings.
And those firm projections of 4% and 5% GDP annual growth and maybe 9% in twenty five years to pay for it. A savings of $1,500 per family. And Obama saying we need more doctors and if a black person wants to go to a black doctor, he should get that too. And he talked about training new doctors. We need more doctors, duh.

Thanks for nothing, my fine feathered friends with bird brainer. Love ya, chia tea.

Looks like Russia's slave in Syria has problems and vlads troops can do no better -

AMMAN (Reuters) - Russia has sent special forces in recent days to fight alongside Syrian army troops struggling to make gains in a more than two month assault in northwestern Syria to seize the last opposition bastion, senior rebel commanders said.

They said although Russian officers and troops had been behind front lines directing the operations, using snipers and firing anti-tank missiles, this was the first time Moscow had sent ground troops on the battlefield in the campaign that began at the end of April.

"These special Russian forces are now present in the battlefield. The Russians are intervening directly now," said Captain Naji Mustafa, spokesman for the Turkey-backed National Liberation Front (NLF) coalition of rebel factions.

Russian ground forces entered the battle with government forces to seize the strategic Humaymat hilltops in northern Hama that fell into rebel hands last week, regaining it after previous successive attempts by the army failed.

"When (Syrian President Bashar) al-Assad's forces failed to advance, Russia then intervened directly ... after bombing the area with more than 200 sorties," Mustafa said.
Russian defense ministry officials were not immediately available for comment.

More than two months of Russian-backed operations in and around Idlib province have yielded little or nothing for Russia and its ally President Bashar al Assad.

It is a rare case of a military campaign that has not gone in Russia's favor since it intervened in 2015.

"Russia did not only fail but has been exposed to defeat," Mustafa said.

The head of a major rebel group said Moscow's deployment of undisclosed numbers of ground forces came only after elite Syrian troops known as the Tiger Forces and allied militias were unable to make "any significant territorial gains."

"The Syrian army found itself in a crisis and were forced to ask for Russian troops on the battlefield," said Jamil al-Saleh, the head of Jaish al Izza rebel group

More Ringo of the Fab Four News. You know, the one that nobody can remember her name. The homegrown black lady. From Boston or so place. Anyway.....

Hmm. Who is that black man with a twitter machine? Now, be nice.

“Jon Miller, host of Blaze TV’s “White House Brief,” exposed Pressely’s not-so-veiled bigotry in a single tweet.

“Well by being black, my voice is automatically a black voice. That’s how it works,” he wrote. “What she ACTUALLY means is we don’t need minorities who don’t want to be a progressive voice.”

“And that, my friend, is the true definition of discrimination.”

Well, looks like the Four Horsemen of Apocaleft have brushed off their shoulders and turning their attention back on Nancy, still snarling a bit. And Nancy will turn her attention back to the business at hand. Nancy had quietly worked behind the scenes from months to distance people from the Fab Four and she just had gone on the Circuit to be clear, concise, and complete rather vocally calling the Squad out, telling them only have only four votes and a worthless following...and......and.....and along comes Trump. Slow talking Trump, slow walking Trump and steps right into it. Oh well.

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Trump got the Dems to stand and defend them, anti-Semites and all. The face of the Democrat Party, folks.
And to think this came on the heels of the lesbian soccer star National Anthem no crossing heart thang, , Kap sacking America’s ironic Americana sentimental flag AND whoever she handed the flag to, and the 4th of July pouting boycott, and the attempted firebombing of ICE in blue blue Tacoma, and....drumroll please......the taking down of Old Glory and raising the Mexican flag over a US Government building. I would say you guys took a beating more than Trump. The Lefties are ceding the middle, thank you very much.

No use jabbing about it. The local wackjobs will still be running over here calling Trump and Racist, Rapist, Traitor, Homophobic something (fill in the blacks here). Tie him to E
Stein, shaking hands 27 years ago. Was a crime committed? Hmmm. Roflmao.

How dare you call those rodents animals. That be racist talk, and is meant to divide us.

Remember when CA went eco-friend and turned Thompson’s water seal into a bucket of worthless stuff. Won’t last 6 months. Water based. Took the good stuff out. About that time, their was an old man I knew that had a gopher problem. I tried everything...gassing, poking the middle of new runways and fresh spots and dropping poison pellets for him. Then one day he shows me an article in the Frisco Examiner about they found the magic stuff for their gopher problem in Frisco parks. At the time, the City was spending 120k/year just trying to rid them. Called Eaton’s Last Bite. They sold it at the hardware stores. Waxed based, break off a hunk and insert in hole. Bingo.
Then they banned Last Bite in CA, but a certain store were unaware and sold it for a couple years. See, they can pass all the laws on the books, but there was no enforcement and the owners of the mercantile did not know it was banned. The Counties got stuck with enforcement and they were just clerks or something. Heck, I had to drive to Reno to get log cabin thick slob from Sweden, until I found a place that sold it here in Nevada County...again, unaware. Sure that has changed and they scope around reading stack of data sheets. :)
Anyway, the Last Bite disappeared and the quasi-effective maybe (?) look alike stuff appeared. Not the same. Loved the name. Last Bite.

Thanks for nothing, CA. Rodent infestations are sooo 3rd World.

Ridiculous? Ridiculous she says. I will tell you what is ridiculous. 1). Impeaching the President over a Tweet, roflmao. Like, that’s high crimes and misdemeanors if I ever saw one. And 2). Everywhere the Muslims go on the planet, be it next to an adjoining country or cluster within a country, or region, there is always violence against the neighbors, be they foreign or domestic or clusters of other faiths. Always. Not to denounce terrorism is not ridiculous or be concerned about it.

Now that you got your fiery speech off your shoulders about Orange Man Bad, loving this country (it’s called America), caring so much about the children (it’s all about the children and a classless society with you as a leader, are you a Communist? Do you support Al Queda? Please stoop low enough to dignify the question with an answer. Or, no answer, just a head shake or something. Yes or no?

The difference between Israel soldiers (include US soldiers as well) AND the Hamas & Co is that the Israelis put their men in front of the children shielding them with guns pointed at the enemy while the Islamic fighters put the children in front of their soldiers. Who cares about the children?

This was an opinion that was held by everybody from the beginning of time until like five seconds ago. And now if you tweet out men or not women, you can be banned from Twitter. Twitter has said that they can permanently suspend you for it. That's how fast they move. And if you come out and you say, maybe we should think about these guys, maybe every civilization for all of human history everywhere was onto something when they said that men and women are different.

Well, if nothing else, the chants and rhetoric of “send em’ back” has been had an effect on our local Leftwing Brethren. I have not heard Steve or any of the pocket sock puppets tell Dr. Rebane to go back to Estonia once since Trump’s tweet last weekend. Odd. A great mystery.

Is this the week the music died? Nah, dream on. They will be racing over here soon enough to call Dr. Rebane a racist fascist Islamophobe as well as screaming the President is a racist fascist rapist traitor. Blame the white women voters....they put Trump in over the top. They too are racist fascists.

Hmmm. Is there such a word as Islamophobe

[Bill Tozer]

Darn. Here comes the Immigrants. Great, another fascist emerges.

“I'm a Jamaican immigrant. And I love America. Not the America radical socialists want to see, but the America that is a land of opportunity for all. That’s what I’m fighting for," New York businesswoman Scherie Murray, 38, declared in a series of social media posts Wednesday announcing her candidacy for the Republican nomination in Ocasio-Cortez's district.

“In her campaign launch, Murray has made clear that she's not going to pull any punches on her potential opponent. "There’s a crisis in Queens and it’s called AOC," Murray said in a tweet she's pinned to the top of her page. "She isn’t worried about us — she’s worried about being famous. That’s why I’m running for Congress."

"You deserve someone who will fight for you, not fight for the limelight. Someone who will build bridges, not burn them down," said Murray in a post presenting her official 2020 announcement video. "Lawmakers should be working together to build a stronger, safer, more prosperous America, but your representative in Washington chooses self-promotion over service, conflict over constituents, resistance over assistance," Murray says in the video.

"Queens and the Bronx need someone who will create jobs instead of turning them away," Murray says in reference to Ocasio-Cortez's opposition to the Amazon HQ2 deal, which would have brought 25,000 jobs to her district and nearly $30 billion in tax revenues to the state.“

Gorka, Gorka, Gorka and the Enemy of the People

“Yet when Democrats spearheaded deportation efforts against former Trump adviser Sebastian Gorka, the media was silent. In 2017, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) asked the White House to hand over Gorka’s immigration paperwork to the House Judiciary Committee. Gorka is a British-born Hungarian-American who was naturalized in 2012, five years before Nadler attempted to use state power to intimidate him.

“Despite the poor journalistic integrity of The Forward author, Nadler and other House Democrats still used her article to attack Gorka and the White House. Sens. Dick Durbin (D-IL), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and Benjamin Cardin (D-MD) pressed the departments of Homeland Security and Justice to confirm whether Gorka was under investigation for falsifying his U.S. naturalization application.

“No.....none of this....”.

Ok. John Solomon strikes again.

“Two career White House security officials have testified in a closed door session with the House Oversight Committee that no political pressure was asserted on their office in determining security clearances, according to a GOP staff memo obtained by Hill.TV.

“The testimony could deal a blow to Democratic assertions that President Trump and the White House counsel might have used undue influence on the process to win clearances for his son-in-law Jared Kushner and his daughter Ivanka Trump.

“The fracas over security clearances erupted in April 2019 when career staffer Tricia Newbold testified to the House Oversight Committee that her then supervisor Carl Kline overruled several of her security clearance determinations because of political influence.”
—
“Earlier, Kline had disputed Newbold’s assertions in a voluntary interview with the committee. He testified that he had never been told by any White House official to reverse a security clearance determination.

“I have never been approached by anybody at the White House or outside the White House to adjudicate a case, one way or the other, in my tenure at the White House,” Kline declared.”

A black eye for Columbia Journalism Review?

“Indeed, the very idea that Lenihan was engaged in any kind of “smear campaign” (to quote the headline on the CJR article) is a fiction that dissolves upon contact with Lenihan’s own words. “It should be stressed that a journalist’s close social-media engagement with any particular group should not be seen as incriminating per se,” Lenihan wrote in Quillette. “Many journalists follow—and even interact with—all manner of figures online, either out of personal curiosity, professional interest, or even as a means of developing sources. In identifying this group of 15 journalists whose engagement with Antifa is especially intense, our goal was not to accuse them of bias out of hand, but rather to identify them for further study, so as to determine if there was any overall correlation between the level of their online engagement with Antifa and the manner by which these journalists treated Antifa in their published journalism.”

In other words, the analysis that Holt characterizes as some kind of dangerous plot against progressive journalists is basically just a study of media bias—the sort of subject that, until recently, CJR was known for covering dispassionately.

When it comes to statistical studies, bigger data sets typically deliver more robust results. And in this respect, Twitter supplies researchers with a gold mine, since the relationships among users generally are public, and this information easily can be harvested en masse by automated data-gathering tools. Lenihan’s methods are being used by many other researchers to investigate all manner of trends in every sector of our society, including journalism. An outlet such as CJR should be encouraging the use of modern analytical techniques, rather than presenting them as sinister and opaque.

Here's one for you from the Republican side about the wannabe Trump Thumpers.

"Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) denounced the display on Twitter early Thursday, writing online that “chants like ‘send her back’ are ugly, wrong, & would send chills down the spines of our Founding Fathers.” He continued: “This ugliness must end, or we risk our great union.”

https://www.politico.com/story/2019/07/18/republicans-send-her-back-chant-1420305

[Jig Wiggly]

Paul- Trump found a new slogan to bait the haters. Remember, he used the fake president from Kenya card for over three years. Send THEM back is the new Lock Her Up and Build A Wall. It is a good bet certain people in white hoods are chanting "send them back" as we speak. Probably oiling their long guns and practicing knots. But they will deny they are supremests until the cows drop dead.

[George Rebane]

For those who actually follow the news, Trump did NOT encourage the 'send them back' chants and stopped them as fast as the resumption of his speech would allow.

Ok. “The Chant” lasted 13 seconds, slowly rising. Somebody timed it. They kicked one guy out of the rally earlier for disputing the place when Trump was talking and the young dude was wearing a MAGA . A spy! Infiltrator. Me thinks the chant was started by Lefty assassins or some Russians. There are a lot of Russians living in this country. And a lot of vicious vicious Antifa types in the Carolinas.

I did catch more than half of Trump’s address to the junkyard dogs and I was blown away (taken aback) by his list of accomplishments in so many areas. I had no idea until he put them all in a row, one after the other after the other. Like, Opiate Overdose Crisis actually went down this year after years of near vertical red arrows on the charts. Even if the decrease is tiny or flattening out, that is good news for everybody.

This whole “good back and show us how it’s done” thing started awhile ago and I see Trumps frustration and not tolerating fools. You got a conservative reporter beat up in the streets while cops are told to stand down, the whole 4th of July meltdown, the raising of the Mexican flag over a US Federal facility to the roaring celebration of hundreds, if not a thousand in Colorado, Nike, Betsy Ross and more I have already forgot. The hate Israel thang. America is a hellhole racist country...everywhere you look, even Biden and Nancy. Trump, like me, have had enough.

Call Trump what you want, but he really loves this country down deep and is the Ringling Bros. Circus for cheer leading America and America’s unique greatness among all countries on Earth. We are a good country.
With Trump, it’s America, the Greatest Show on Earth! Great people. Always been that way. It has always pissed him off when he felt America was being taken advantage. Burned his butt when Japan was taking advantage of us with no level playing field and he had no skin in the game. “We are getting screwed, folks.”

It’s not the constant bad mouthing of America or blame America First, it’s the total lack of gratitude and constant complaining about everything that is behind this, ‘Go show us how it’s done in the shithole you come from. You are lucky to make it here.’ Real lucky. You won the lottery.

I have no skin in the game, but I once got enraged about some Haitians here illegally taking a cab to Niagara Falls and crossing into Canada. The journalist explained the whole process of Canadian law and covered some families crossing and taken to a center....which is all good. Informative. Then I found myself saying aloud at the screen, “Well, go back to Haiti you friggin ingrate.”
A young Haitian about 29 first’s words out of his mount at the center was, “Good, now me some money so I can go rent an apartment.” No asking, no saying please, or thank you, just an entitled attitude that his new country would be his servant. He probably felt superior to Canadians, like the Muslims look down on the Mexicans in S Cal.

Bottom line: The USA, USA, USA chant has always stuck in the Left’s craw for damn near the last 50 years. It’s always the same. America bad, it’s all our fault. And along comes Trump cheerleading for America without embarrassment or couching his words. That gets them crazy more than anything else. Unabashed pride in the Greatest Country on Earth and with unlimited optimism. Impeach the mo fo!

It’s all come down to this. VHD

“In their radical progressive view — shared by billionaires from Silicon Valley, recent immigrants, and the new Democratic party — America was flawed, perhaps fatally, at its origins. Things have not gotten much better in the country’s subsequent 243 years, nor will they get any better — at least not until America as we know it is dismantled and replaced by a new nation predicated on race, class, and gender identity-politics agendas.

“In this view, an “okay” America is no better than other countries. As Barack Obama once bluntly put it, America is exceptional only in relative terms, given that citizens of Greece and the United Kingdom believe that their own countries are just as exceptional. In other words, there is no absolute standard by which to judge a nation’s excellence.

“About half the country disagrees. It insists that America’s sins, past and present, are those of mankind. But only in America were human failings constantly critiqued and addressed.

“America does not have be perfect to be good. As the world’s wealthiest democracy, it certainly has given people “

Not even lip stick on a pig, more like another thick layer of pig shit from the USSR! -

The idea of constitutional amendments, including allowing parliament a say in forming the government, received “a widespread response” and are “a matter for discussion,” Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, told reporters on a conference call Wednesday.

Putin in 2024 must step down as president to avoid violating a constitutional ban on more than two consecutive terms. While he’s previously ruled out changing the constitution to remain as president, advisers are examining ways to effectively prolong his grip on power, which is already the longest since Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.

The Kremlin is considering changing the electoral system in an effort to secure its lock on the lower house of parliament in 2021 elections amid a plunge in popularity of the ruling United Russia party, according to people familiar with the preparations. Keeping a strong hold on the legislature, known as the State Duma, would widen Putin’s room for maneuver. It could potentially allow him to switch roles to retain power as head of the ruling party and prime minister with expanded constitutional authority at the expense of the presidency, according to two people close to the Kremlin and a ruling-party legislator.

Chop, chop. When asked if she would become the first Indian member of the Senate, she answered “Wood Knock”. Now, the black American can start knocking on wood.

“In 2013, about 20 women accused Filner, a two-decade Democratic congressman-turned-San Diego mayor, of sexual harassment and misconduct. Some said he put them in “Filner headlocks.”

“Harris' office drew considerable criticism in 2013 for allowing Filner to plead guilty to state charges of false imprisonment and battery against three Jane Does in exchange for a light sentence. Filner could have faced up to five years in prison, but the plea bargain instead gave him three months of house arrest, three years' probation, and partial loss of his mayoral pension.”

Funniest quote I read today was in some comment section under an article about “The Chant”. Went something like this, including the smiley face.

“The Right has turned into a bunch of White Supremists and the Left is a bunch of crazy socialists running around. I think I will vote for a pot smoking Libertarian again. 😃”

Or, as Matt Walsh said, “It’s a mess. Everywhere you look, it’s a mess.”

The reason Stevie does not have any co-workers who are POC’s is because he hates black and those who do not look like him.

“A new Economist/YouGov survey has found that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has a much higher favorability rating than the radical leftist “squad” of congresswomen, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA).”

“The latest Rasmussen Reports daily presidential tracking poll shows President Trump’s approval rating ticking up 4 points this week.
His approval rating today is 50 percent, meanwhile 49 percent disapprove.

At the beginning of the week, President Trump’s approval rating was 46 percent”

“Ilhan Omar compares BDS Movement to Boston Tea Party.”

“Far-Left Activists Celebrate, Hold Memorial For ‘Fallen Comrade’ Who Attacked An ICE Facility”

Bill sez: Wow. Let’s up the stakes and bring out the Nazi-Holocaust comparison card for justification of BDS:
“Americans of conscience have a proud history of participating in boycotts to advocate for human rights abroad including ... boycotting Nazi Germany from March 1933 to October 1941 in response to the dehumanization of the Jewish people in the lead-up to the Holocaust.” Ilhan Omar....(who else?)

I think he was talking to you when you made the false claim that Trump stopped the chant as fast as he could.

“Sometimes I think this guy thinks cameras don’t exist,” Comedy Central host Trevor Noah said of Trump on Thursday night. “He didn’t stop anything. He was basking in that moment like an iguana soaking up racist sun.”

,,,yes Rock,,,when Trumpski is losing ground in the headlines and in court he looks for warm fuzzies from the North Carolina lemming base.

[Todd Juvinall]

Send her back works for me. Go, crowd! Of course, the babe from Somalia called Trump and his fans fascists and you loons of the left and your media fools agree so nothing to see there.

[Todd Juvinall]

Trump draws tens of thousands in every state. Biden and the clown car crew get a hundred. Democrats are toast.
