Scattershots – 9jan20

George Rebane

Progressives’ public displays of caring social involvement will abruptly end when they finally destroy the economy that enables such displays.

Joining the chorus of all Democrats, Sen Tim Kaine is a POS and a lying scumbag every time he opens his mouth.  Last night on FN he lied about there being members of Congress who favor a “war with Iran”.  He continued spewing his crap by claiming that we actually are at war with Iran, thereby violating the 1973 War Powers Act (which was only a joint resolution of Congress).  We are NOT at war with Iran, but only responding militarily in the type of push-back operations that George Kennan first outlined in his 1946 ‘Long Telegram’ from Moscow, and which we have been doing for over 70 years.  (Granted, we had two non-declared wars in Korea and Vietnam in the interlude under Democrat presidents.)  And the POS finished his interview by lying that Bolton needs to testify to the Senate since he has appealed “please subpoena me”.  In truth, far from Kaine’s mouth, Bolton has only said that he was willing to testify were the Senate to subpoena him.

The progressive pinheads of Middletown, Ohio have established expanded facilities for its homeless and publicized that they welcome all comers.  Well, all comers from all over the state are now being shipped to Middletown.  And wouldn’t you know it, the Middletown mamas and papas are shocked at the response – I mean, talk about room temp IQs.  3 of 4 homeless in town now are from out of town, and Police Chief Rodney Muterspaw (his real name, I swear) says, “We have a huge problem with other cities (they know who they are), dumping homeless people here because they don't want them in their city.”  Now folks hereabouts know that Nevada City and even Grass Valley are real concerned about becoming more caring and welcoming to the homeless, both indigenous and immigrants.  RR recommends that our Nevada County worthies put in a call to Chief Muterspaw, and go over their plans to handle the homeless from the I-80 corridor.

[Later] Authoritarian progressivism is America’s metastasizing cancer that is quietly eating away here and there at the social fabric that binds our people and has made our country the shining beacon for all humanity.  Like cancer, authoritarian progressivism does its focused work quietly and mostly out of sight until irreparable damage is done, only then does it step out and don the mantle of the government gun.  Its ongoing war on philanthropy is an area where our Democrat leftists intend to wipe out one of the most effective instruments of civil society, but one that visibly and successfully competes with the notion that the government collective should be the source of all civil good.  The Big Lie that private philanthropy is an “elite charade” is now promoted by lamestream outlets like WaPo, NYT, and NPR – the full court press is on.  More specifically, as editor of Philanthropy magazine Karl Zinsmeister points out (here), “Today’s critics of private giving are most misleading in their suggestion that it is primarily a game played by “the billionaire boys’ club.” That’s not even close to accurate. The lion’s share of America’s vast philanthropy comes from ordinary citizens, 100 million of whom make charitable gifts annually, with the average household donating around $3,000. In addition, 77 million citizens volunteer time and labor. This broad generosity powers some 1.5 million independent nonprofits across the country, operating in every imaginable part of the economy, pursuing a panoply of approaches to national improvement.”  (Much more to be said about this war, but I do want to point out that this is another of RR’s series highlighting leftwing's Big Lies - abiding and impactive lies that really do matter.)

Maybe we could get our local photographer, Mr. Keachie, to spend some time doing 'A Day in the Life of Nevada County' and hit all the homeless encampments. A bit of gratuitous drone footage would also be nice.

Seriously, it would be a real shocker for most people. Maybe the City Councils would quit whistling by the graveyard, although there's still that 5G emergency to deal with.

Hmmmm…..I doubt "Comma Man" has any free time at all what with all his free time being an entire brass band of internet sock puppets!

Dunno why dims put such hopes in testimony from Bolton. He may have disagreements with the President, but he's the last man on earth to want a return to O-style fecklessness and outright treason. Bolton is a good man and isn't going to crawl in bed with the would-be destroyers of the American achievement.

[Bill Tozer]

If they do install a solar field at Sugarloaf, the homeless could sleep under the panels and with a little bit of Yankee know how, rig up some phone chargers while they are at it.

Many moons ago, Keachie used Google Earth to publish the location of pot grows...when it was illegal and uncool. Perhaps we could use his expertise and have him do some leg work for us of the various ‘nests’ in our local metropolitan areas of Grass Valley and Nevada City.

Donald Trump is a POS and a lying scumbag every time he opens his mouth.... a much more appropriate statement considering the facts.

[Bill Tozer]

@ 9:56 am

“Good to see our intrepid Congress taking back its war powers after 19 years of abdication by voting on a non-binding resolution to voice their opinion on a war that is not happening.”— Buck.

Bolton is a good man. A little too hawkish for me, but after he left I realized we need a hawk in the Administration to kick around ideas and be one of several opinions advising the President so he hears all sides. Bolton was a great Ambassador to the UN and a Patriot through and through.

Those with TDS are hoping Bolton has TDS now as well, but I don’t see it. I could be wrong, but Bolton was not on the phone call, but attended meetings discussing it and other matters relating to Ukraine. It’s the WH chief of staff they really want. Bolton is a straight shooter and has nothing that they need.....maybe they hope he will turn on Trump and bust him for some thought crime.
————-
The War Powers Act of ‘73 has some problems with it relating to constitutional matters that has never been fully resolved via SCOTOS. Some say it is unconstitutional. Oh, I could say that Osama Bin Goatin posed no imminent threat sleeping in his bed in Pakistan, but that would just muddy the waters....and a waste of time dealing with the Trump haters.

I have never seen the Democrats so sad that we are not at war. What goes up must come down. Trump takes out a monster in Iraq and now they attack Trump. Crazy times. Yep, the big deflation of de-escalation has hit out Lefty friends rather hard.

If you wish to talk about liars how about Nikki Haley who falsely stated that the Democratic leadership and presidential candidates "are mourning the loss of (Qassem) Soleimani"--whoch got her a 'pants on fire" rating. All republicans connected to Trump lying scumbags like him. So it would seem.

[Lizzo Laughinator]

Or how about Mike Pompeo who falsely said, "President Trump didn't say he'd go after a cultural site."

Or Mike Pence who stated without any evidence what-so-ever that Qassem Soleimani "assisted in the clandestine travel to Afghanistan of 10 of the 12 terrorists who carried out the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States."

[Bill Tozer]

Oh Roberts, how I love your prose. Nancy is still in mourning.

Or how about 1/1024 indian…….or how bout you can keep your doctor……or how about "Of course I am a Democrat and running for the Democratic nomination”…..or how about "They're gonna put you all back in chains……..Or how about…….…..Or how about…..Or how about…..Or how about…..Or how about…..Or how about…..Or how about…..Or how about…..Or how about!

Worst Troll ever.

UH other than the 9/11 report that said they transited Iran to Afghanistan for training @1123.

Dr. R is burdened with the most ignorant trolls anywhere!

Fish.. It sounds like Cartman is back.

LOL!! The queen of the damned and her minions passed a "resolution".

It has no teeth, and doesn't stop Trump from doing anything.

So LIBS can "demand" all they like.. So stomp your feet, and hold your breath.. Good luck with that.
