Pervs use Apple iDrop 2 send penis pics on NY subway

Jack Kemp

Who says New Yorkers don't know how to use high tech devices? Or is do vices while high?
http://nypost.com/2017/08/12/airdropping-dick-pics-is-the-latest-horrifying-subway-trend/

There’s a new iPhone craze on the subway, and it’s not the latest Candy Crush update.
New York women have discovered that creepy men are using the iPhone AirDrop app to send them photos of their privates while on the same train.

Since more straphangers using the MTA are carrying advanced iPhones and awareness of the AirDrop app has increased, local straphangers have started noticing a troubling trend first reported in London in 2015.
Britta Carlson, 28, was riding the uptown 6 train to a concert on July 27 when a mysterious message popped up on her smartphone.

"iPhone 1 would like to share a note with you,” read the note sent at 6:51 p.m. She hit "Accept” and was horrified by what she saw. "It was just a huge close-up picture of a disgusting penis,” said Carlson, of Bushwick, Brooklyn. The message was titled "Straw” and was sent by an anonymous stranger.
"It really felt like someone had actually just flashed me.

NYT Editor Writers May Claim They Don't Read Paper in Palin Lawsuit

Dana Mathewson

You'll remember that Sarah Palin has sued the NYT for defamation of character. In defense, the paper may have to trot out some of its editorial writers and instruct them to say they don't read the editorials in... The NYT. Is this karma or what?

http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2017/08/you-heard-it-here-first-ny-times-editors-deny-reading-their-own-newspaper.php

David Dickinson replies:

I stand in strong solidarity with the NYT editorial writers, I don't read the stuff they write either.

A NOTE FROM JACK KEMP:

A few years ago, Arthur Sulzberger Jr. put his property in his wife's name - while his paper denounced OTHER rich people doing the same to avoid taxes. Then his wife sued "Pinch" Sulzberger for divorce.

The Lord Works in Mysterious Ways.

Some of you may recall that I woke up one late fall morning around 2010 and thought, "Amer. Thinker is always bashing the NY Times. I bet if I went down to their headquarters, there would be no Christmas decorations displayed. Sure enough, that was the case. This was at a time when Lifson was first beginning to post photos at the website. He suggested I go visit Fox News and take pictures to compare. I visited every other mid-Manhattan news organization and found Christmas (and some Hannukah) displays. This included NBC, ABC, CBS, Reuters, The Daily News, and Fox News. Although one is not allowed to enter a lobby to take photos, the Times lobby level exterior walls are all glass and one can legally take photos from the street that show everything. I hounded the Times for a year or more at Amer. Thinker until they put up huge Christmas wreathes. And in an accompanying article that Amer. Thinker did not post but Tim Birdnow did, I called the NY Times headquarters lobby "The Ghost of Stalin Past." So that's how I, a Jew, became Santa's Helper at the NY Times building.

Vets Sue Pentagon Over Leaked Data

Jack Kemp forwards this:

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/national/article166754722.html

A veterans organization is suing the Pentagon for exposing private details about troops’ military service on "a truly massive scale” due to lax security on one of its websites.
The lawsuit filed by Vietnam Veterans of America charges that that a Defense Department website "is currently exposing private details about the military service of millions of veterans to anybody at all, anonymously, for any purpose.”

The shoddy security measures allow virtually anyone to access sensitive data about veterans’ records by typing in a name and date of birth, which are easily available on the internet. This gives "easy access to information about essentially all veterans or service members in the system” and thus violates the Federal Privacy Act, alleges the suit, which was filed last week in federal court in New York.

The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act website, which according to the Pentagon receives more than 2.3 billion searches a year, is mean to be used by authorized institutions like banks to confirm the active duty status that entitles service members to certain protections.

Instead, the information is available to con artists and scammers who can use it to impersonate government or other officials and gain veterans’ trust by discussing details of their service that only authorized organizations would have.

Thomas Barden, a veteran of the Vietnam War who served in the U.S. Air Force for 21 years, found that out firsthand.
The plaintiff in the suit received a call from someone supposedly affiliated with Microsoft in March 2016. Since the caller knew all kinds of personal details about Barden’s military service, Barden thought he was authorized by the government. The scammer convinced him his computer was at risk, and sold him firewall software to protect it. Nine months later, the scammer gained remote access to the computer, locked him out, and threatened to hold his files for ransom unless he paid up.

Worried about data theft, Barden broke the hard drive into pieces and was so concerned about his privacy that he threw them into different trash cans over several days. Since then, he has continued to receive harassing phone calls from the same scammers, causing him "significant anxiety and stress,” according to the lawsuit.

A NOTE FROM DANA MATHEWSON:

Makes it sound as if the VA turned their record-keeping over to Yahoo or someone similar, doesn't it?

A Christian perspective on Hillary as a pulpit speaker

Jack Kemp

The only thing that Hillary needs now is to gather her coterie of flying monkeys ato accompany her to churches...


http://theresurgent.com/hillarys-pastor-has-written-a-book-and-you-wont-believe-his-metaphor-for-her-election-loss/
Hillary’s Pastor Has Written a Book – And You Won’t Believe His Metaphor for Her Election Loss


I’m a major Beatles fan, but one of their songs that really gets on my nerves is "The Ballad of John and Yoko.” For those who don’t know, John Lennon took a irresistible musical groove and put inane lyrics over it about his marriage to Yoko Ono and the headlines they grabbed with their bizarre behavior. The two lines of the chorus demonstrate how highly Lennon thought of himself:

You know it ain’t easy. You know how hard it can be.

The way things are going, they’re gonna crucify me.

Yes, John Lennon compared the media circus over his and Yoko Ono’s marriage and peace protest stunts to Jesus on the cross.

But Lennon isn’t the only one to make such a dramatic, overblown comparison. Hillary Clinton’s pastor, United Methodist City Society Executive Director Rev. Bill Shillady, is publishing a book of the devotions and sermons he emailed to the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate. Strong for a Moment Like This, which releases August 15, includes this gem of a devotion from the day after the election, when Shillady compares Clinton’s loss to the eve of the most important moment in history. Here’s a taste:

Today, you are experiencing a Friday. Your Friday is what happened in the last few weeks and last night in the tragic loss. But Sunday is coming!

Jesus completed the excruciating task of giving up his life as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. It was his faith and belief in his heavenly Father, that gave him the grace and peace to submit to Friday. While death had seemingly won, Jesus knew better. When he said, "It is finished,” it wasn’t meant to be a statement of concession. It was a declaration that a new day was on the way.

Friday is finished. Sunday is coming. Death will be shattered. Hope will be restored. But first, we must live through the darkness and seeming hopelessness of Friday.

You know one of my favorite sayings is "God doesn’t close one door without opening another, but it can be hell in the hallway.” My sister Hillary. You, our nation, our world is experiencing a black Friday. Our hope is that Sunday is coming. But it might well be hell for a while.

Good Lord. I’m sure losing a presidential election is tough, but Jesus’ disciples were devastated because they thought that the Messiah they served was dead. They thought the ministry to which they had devoted the last three years of their lives was in vain. They thought that God’s work of redemption ended at the cross. On the other hand, Hillary Clinton lost an election.

Read the rest!

Dana Mathewson replies:

Everybody seems to get this wrong -- according to Friend Ken, who actually read that article. According to him, The Hag told Shillady that AT ONE TIME she considered becoming a minister. AT ONE TIME, not NOW.

But it doesn't matter, really. In other, earlier discussions with Friend Ken (whom I originally met while playing at a United Methodist Church), he told me that the United Methodists have pretty much been "useful idiots" for years, and this would be a prime example. Hope I don't ruffle any feathers here, but that outfit, perhaps more than any other "mainline" church, has gone along with liberal ideas such as same-sex marriage and abortion-on-demand. If the church we played in is any example, he's right. And a former pastor of that church once said, from the pulpit (Martha and I heard him, and gasped) "I don't think you really have to believe in Jesus in order to get into Heaven." That's pretty "far-out," considering Jesus's words in John 14:6, to Thomas: "I am the way, the truth, the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me." (KJV) (Disclaimer: I am certain that the Lord has something else worked out with the Jews.) If I'd heard something like that in a Unitarian church, I wouldn't have been so surprised, but a Methodist church?

Anyhow, Shillady proves he's an idiot -- whether useful or not, I leave up to you. I think he's certainly a toady. Maybe he really believes Hillary will eventually get "the top job" and is bucking for a gig with her.

Jack Kemp replies:

Dana, these remarks by Hillary are coming out in a book NOW and in Hillary's talks NOW, at a time when she is testing the waters for a new platform to spew her bile...err...political opinions. The story about years ago is a cheap cover, a device to give her some plausable deniability. Maybe Hillary wants to be the first female Pope? Who knows?

What Hillary really meant is best expressed in the lines of this following song from the musical "Evita." The fictional words tell the real truth of Evita and Hillary. Also, remember my parody song, "Don't cry for me, Cheektowaga" (a suburb of Buffalo, NY)?.

Tim replies:

Jack, the point about the timing of this is a good one. Hillary is probably trying to win more of the Christian vote, which Hillary lost and which put Trump over the top. I think this story is your classic poll driven political effort by the hucksters promoting Hillary. See http://religionnews.com/2016/11/09/white-evangelicals-white-catholics-and-mormons-voted-decisively-for-trump/ and https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2016/11/09/exit-polls-show-white-evangelicals-voted-overwhelmingly-for-donald-trump/ and http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/09/how-the-faithful-voted-a-preliminary-2016-analysis/

DANA MATHEWSON REPLIES:

And yes, Cheektowaga is a Buffalo suburb. The first symphony orchestra I ever played in was the Cheektowaga Community Symphony Orchestra, and I played the Mozart Clarinet Concerto with them.

American Thinker Phd. author can't use a calendar as he advocates for Kaepernick

Jack Kemp

American Thnker has posted a fantastic (original meaning of the word: as in a fantasy) blog piece by Dr Tar. As the footer to it states "Dr. Tar is the pseudonym of Barry Foltos, Ph.D." http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/08/colin_kapernick_not_yet_rehired_is_the_entire_nfl_racist.html

In it, Dr. Foltos advocates that the Washington Redskins hire Colin Kaepernick and paints a rosy picture of how only good things would happen. As if Black Lives Matter were given a media platform representing the Nation's Capitol would lead to good things and no unwanted protests. I responded to Dr. Foltos, pointing out various problems, including his misstating the date of Spike Lee's protest at NFL headquarters in New York City later this month. American Thinker should have hired me - and Dana Mathewson - as editors years ago, a statement I don't make lightly.

Here is what I had to say about Dr Tar's piece:

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2017/08/colin_kapernick_not_yet_rehired_is_the_entire_nfl_racist_comments.html#disqus_thread

JackKemp • 32 minutes ago
Where to begin...You link to a Spike Lee story website that clearly says the New York NFL headquarters protest is on Aug. 23rd, not 24th as this blog piece states as of 5 a.m. There is even a graphic of a poster there saying as much. To quote the linked to article, "Lee announced the the rally, scheduled for Aug. 23 at 5 p.m., on his Twitter account."

"nothing would give this NFL fan greater pleasure than watching virtue-signalers, both high and low, having to decide if they will support a team whose name has been deemed offensive to Native Americans..."

Actually, nothing would give the fans greater anger - all around the U.S.A.. - than to see Kaepernick representing the Nation's Capitol. It would be a total propaganda victory for Black Lives Matter. And it would become a continuation of the Virginia riots about the Robert E. Lee statue which has lead the State of Virginia to declare an emergency. Just what the NFL does not need at stadiums where the Redskins might play. As is, FedEx Stadium, home of the Redskins, is in Maryland and a 35 minute drive from Baltimore. What could go wrong? Everything.

The Redskins already had a black quarterback, a much better one named Doug Williams who lead them to the Superbowl championship in Jan. 1988. NFL owners throw in $100,000 a piece to subsidize Kaepernick's salary? That would lead to further boycotts of every team - especially on days when the Redskins came to play in their stadiums. They could lose an easy $200,000 per game in ticket boycotts or concession sales (beer, hot dogs, etc.) and soon documentable lower tv viewership leading to lower advertising rates. I don't know how NFL advertising is structured legally, but if some company is forced to pay the advertising rate for 1.5 million fans watching and they only have 900,000 fans watching, they won't be too happy about it.
Kaepernick on any team, especially the D.C. team, could easily also lead to angry protests in favor of him by Black Lives Matter outside the stadium and inside it.

This blog piece is all but a satire on itself. And the protest is, once again, Aug. 23rd, not the 24th.

What Russian Hack!

Timothy Birdnow

There was no "Russian hack" but rather a leak from the inside, forensics show,

From The Nation:

"There has been a long effort to counter the official narrative we now call "Russiagate.” This effort has so far focused on the key events noted above, leaving numerous others still to be addressed. Until recently, researchers undertaking this work faced critical shortcomings, and these are to be explained. But they have achieved significant new momentum in the past several weeks, and what they have done now yields very consequential fruit. Forensic investigators, intelligence analysts, system designers, program architects, and computer scientists of long experience and strongly credentialed are now producing evidence disproving the official version of key events last year. Their work is intricate and continues at a kinetic pace as we speak. But its certain results so far are two, simply stated, and freighted with implications:

* There was no hack of the Democratic National Committee’s system on July 5 last year—not by the Russians, not by anyone else. Hard science now demonstrates it was a leak—a download executed locally with a memory key or a similarly portable data-storage device. In short, it was an inside job by someone with access to the DNC’s system. This casts serious doubt on the initial "hack,” as alleged, that led to the very consequential publication of a large store of documents on WikiLeaks last summer.

* Forensic investigations of documents made public two weeks prior to the July 5 leak by the person or entity known as Guccifer 2.0 show that they were fraudulent: Before Guccifer posted them they were adulterated by cutting and pasting them into a blank template that had Russian as its default language. Guccifer took responsibility on June 15 for an intrusion the DNC reported on June 14 and professed to be a WikiLeaks source—claims essential to the official narrative implicating Russia in what was soon cast as an extensive hacking operation. To put the point simply, forensic science now devastates this narrative.

This article is based on an examination of the documents these forensic experts and intelligence analysts have produced, notably the key papers written over the past several weeks, as well as detailed interviews with many of those conducting investigations and now drawing conclusions from them."

End excerpt.

Who had access to this? The Awan family, perhaps? Is that why Debbie Wasserman Schultz is so desperate to keep the contents of her laptop private?

The more I look at this supposed hack the more I believe it ties to the Awans and the Democrats are trying to use it to destroy Trump knowing full well what happened.

Snowflake Employment Test

Dana Mathewson

http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/03/20/snowflake-test-weeds-out-whiny-needy-entitled-little-brats-who-apply-for-jobs/

Kyle Reyes is the CEO of The Silent Partner Marketing. Reyes had a problem of weaning out snowflakes that were applying to his company. He developed a test as a solution to this problem. Below are some of the questions on this "snowflake test.”

1. How do you feel about guns?
2. What does America mean to you?
1. The Blaze quotes Reyes by saying, "Reyes told "Fox and Friends” that "someone who’s not proud to be an American” is immediately out of the running, as well as those who don’t support the Second Amendment. He told the program that his company does "a lot of work filming with guns. I carry. A lot of our team and clients carry as well. We have very hardcore American companies, and so you’ve gotta be comfortable around them.”
3. What does privilege mean to you?
1. "Of the "privilege” question, Reyes said, "I’m looking for people who are not entitled, who don’t have this sense that they should just be handed things … who are willing to work for everything they have.”
4. How do you feel about police?
1. "How do you feel about police?” — is asked since Silent Partner works "very, very closely with a lot of police departments and so you need to be comfortable and willing to support the men and women who serve and protect,” Reyes told "Fox and Friends.”

These are just some of the questions on the 30 question test. As expected, he has received a lot of backlash for his test yet people keep submitting applications. Here is an example, from The Blaze, of Reyes shutting down a snowflake that was scolding him for the test:
"I was scolded by a woman on the phone yesterday who told me she wouldn’t take the test and ‘shame’ on me for making people take a test to come work for us,” he wrote in his NewBostonPost piece. "She ‘demanded’ I remove the test or risk losing out on ‘perfect employees’ like herself.”
Reyes’ response?
"Bummer,” he wrote, adding a message back to the jilted job seeker: "Well, snowflake, it’s back to the heaping pile of applications for me.”
One can only dream of an America where all CEO’s do this, maybe it’ll make people realize just how stupid they truly are.

JACK KEMP REPLIES:

Dana, I can't find the original Aviary article in my files, but back in 2013, actor Jay Mohr called for a gun ban. http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2013/04/16/jay-mohr-ban-guns-boston/ I promptly wrote that I spoke to Mr. Mohr in a Reno, Nevada casino as he was taking a short break from filming a mob comedy called "Mafia!" which was released in 1998. There were plenty of gunplay in that movie and the mob boss, portrayed by veteran actor Lloyd Bridges, got blown up in a car. There was also a stabbing. This was not a Teletubbies movie. So Jay Mohr was "passionately" anti-gun after he was passionately in favor of being in a movie that used guns so Jay could get a Hollywood paycheck.

McConnell Wasting campaign Money to Elect RINO over Conservative

Mitch McConnell is wasting millions to elect a RINO instead of a conservative to the Senate.  Here are the details:

By Peter Hong

After the GOP leadership lost health care reform in the Senate by a single vote with three renegade Republicans joining a unanimous bloc of Democrats, you'd think Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would be singularly focused on capturing the 25 Senate seats Democrats will be defending in 2018. You'd think.

Instead, a McConnell-aligned PAC is running a vicious attack ad campaign in the special election for Attorney General Jeff Sessions' open Senate seat in Alabama…in the GOP primary…against a Republican congressman. Mo Brooks -- a conservative, a member of the House Freedom Caucus and one of the three leading candidates to succeed Sessions –earned McConnell's ire by suggesting that the Kentucky senator step down as Majority Leader for failing to pass Obamacare repeal.

McConnell has placed his support, his money and his political machine behind recently appointed Senator Luther Strange in the August 15^thprimary. Six months ago, disgraced Alabama Governor Robert Bentley appointed Strange, then the state's Attorney General, to Sessions' open seat before pleading guilty to two corruption charges related to a sex scandal and resigning from office. Strange himself facesseveral ethics complaintsrelated to his appointment and his days as Attorney General. The Alabama ethics commission has interestingly postponed its hearing on these complaints until the day after the primary.

From his brief Senate tenure, Strange appears to be a relatively reliable vote for Senate leadership, not having had time to distinguish himself – for better or worse. The key word for the Republican leadership is "reliable" – as in a vote they can count on -- again, for better or worse.

"Reliable," as defined by the Establishment, describes neither Brooks nor the other GOP contender, former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore. Chief Justice Moore has gained prominence among social conservatives and is best known for being removed from office for refusing to remove a replica of the Ten Commandments from the Alabama Judicial Building.

Because Alabama is as red a state as you'll find, there not much to distinguish between the Republican candidates on major issues; the difference arises in tone, personality and who's going to hang out with which crowd in the Senate GOP cloakroom. Strange has made his bed with the Establishment wing of the Senate. And, as McConnell's Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) has demonstrated, they are bent and determined to keep Strange there.

Already, the SLF has announced thatit expects to spend at least eight million dollars on behalf of Strange – an unheard of investment in a Republican state in a non-election year.McConnell's PAC has run ads attacking both Brooks and Moore, but has focused most of its attention (and money) on Brooks. The attack ads claim that Brooks was insufficiently supportive of President Trump when Brooks served as chairman for Ted Cruz's presidential race in the primary. And Trump gave an inexplicable, last-minute Twitter endorsement of Strange, a particularly strange move giventhe friction between Trump and McConnell.

Given Trump's popularity in Alabama, the attacks have done some damage to Brooks' standing in the polls. He's currently running third behind both Moore and Strange, althougha recent pollhad the race close with Moore leading with 30%, Strange at 22%, and Brooks at 19%. If no one receives more than 50% of the vote in next week's primary, the top two vote getters in each party will face off in runoffs on September 26 (the general election is scheduled for December 12).

Therefore, Brooks does not need to beat both Moore and Strange; he only needs to place first or second to make it to the runoff. Since voter turnout in primaries tends to be low and difficult to poll, predicting the outcome of this race is treacherous business. McConnell's money could set up a Moore-Strange runoff, as planned, or the Majority Leader and his Establishment allies could find themselves once again with egg on their faces.

It begs the question: why is Senator McConnell plugging into a safe Republican seat millions of dollars that could be used to defeat up to a dozen potentially vulnerable Democrats in 2018? Is he truly more comfortable with the reelection of Democrat senators who vote as a bloc against the Trump/GOP agenda – than a Senator Brooks (R-AL) who will fight for it?

The answer lies in the ongoing battle between McConnell and Establishment strongholds, like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and Tea Party organizations, like the Senate Conservatives Fund (SCF). ANational Review article in 2013 depicted in detail how the McConnell-SCF feud overwhelmed the 2014 Nebraska Senate election that resulted in the election of Ben Sasse.

As Sasse's election illustrates, the Establishment does not have a great track record of picking senators.If McConnell and the Establishment had had their way, Sasse, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, Mike Lee, and Rand Paul today would not be on the Senate floor. In contrast, senators, like Lamar Alexander, John McCain, and Lisa Murkowski, who were supported by the Establishment when challenged from the right, abandoned their principles and the entire GOP by switching and voting against outright repeal of Obamacare a month ago.

So, how exactly does McConnell truly define who is "reliable" and who is not?Who does he think is on his side? And whose side is he on?

The wily, crafty legislator may have tipped his hand whenhe complained this weekabout President Trump's "excessive expectations" about the progress in the Senate of the Trump agenda. McConnell, who has been in the Senate for 33 years, is at heart a Senate institutionalist – and the traditions of that body, like the filibuster (which Strange supports and Brooks and Trump oppose).

And his definition of "reliable" does not depend on whether you are principled, a conservative, or a supporter of the President – the key is whether you vote with Mitch McConnell and preserving the Senate he loves.

Apparently, Senator McConnell thinks that's the key qualification for Alabama's next senator.We'll see on Tuesday if Alabama Republicans agree.

Rally Cat

Timothy Birdnow

They say a black cat crossing your path is bad luck. Well, not when it's the St. Louis Cardinals.

During Wednesdays game the Redbirds were losing when a scruffy black cat appeared in the outfield (as if by magic). Bases were loaded and there were two outs in the sixth inning. Play was halted as a groundsman had to go out and grab the frightened animal (which subsequently scratched and bit the poor kid up). When play resumed the batter hit a grand slam, winning the game for the Cardinals!

They are calling it the Rally Cat.

A woman showed up claiming the cat was hers and she took it before anyone thought to stop her. It's unclear if it really was her cat or if she figured she could sell the critter, but she absconded with Rally Cat and so the mystery continues. What on Earth was a cat doing in the outfield? We may never know.

This is one for the books.

The Cardinals hit another grand slam last night, defeating the Kansas City Royals. This black cat seems to be a lucky one!

Hillary for Mayor of NYC?

Dana Mathewson

I'd say this is hilarious. But apparently there's a campaign, of sorts, to get her to campaign. Look, I suppose it's better than letting her mope at home in Chappaqua with the Crown Royal. I found this on Tammy Bruce's site: http://tammybruce.com/2017/08/hillary-for-jail-er-mayor-of-new-york-city.html

THIS FROM NEW YORKER JACK KEMP:

The first things I have to say are "forgetaboutit" and 'no freakin' way." The next phrases that come to mind are from my days working as a longshoreman in Israel, so I won't repeat them here in front of Fay's eyes. Let's just say they weren't things one learns in a Bible study class. 8-)

Hillary, who came to NY City in April 2016 and couldn't figure out how to use a swipe card to enter the subway system, is going to get about as many votes as Walter O'Malley Jr., the son of the man who took the Dodgers out of Brooklyn, would get for Brooklyn Borough President. I could see protesters showing up with oxygen tanks and signs that say, "Where's your ambulance, Hillary?" and "Is your Medicare Plus Insurance paid up?"

I could see Anthony Weiner trying to attend one of her rallies...I also could see Hillary saying at a rally that she wants to meet Mickey Mantle (now deceased). I, too, want her to meet Mickey.

As a matter of fact, Hillary's first rally in NY City in the 2016 Presidential campaign was on Roosevelt Island and was very sparsely attended. Roosevelt Island is accessible via the F subway line which runs from Jamaica, Queens through Manhattan and all the way down to Coney Island, Brooklyn - with free connections from other trains to the Bronx. No one wanted to hear the hag speak then and no one does now. What DEMOCRAT VOTER would want to depend on Hillary for police protection, fire protection, garbage disposal and snow removal? Bill, on the other hand, would love to pose with the Desnudas, the half-clad women, in Times Square.

We have Met the enemy and he is.....

The leftist media gleefully have informed us that the failure to repeal Obamacare represents a generational change in Americans’ thinking on health care.

The Senate’s failure, by one vote, to repeal Obamacare means Americans have decided they want everyone covered, eventually by single-payer, government-sponsored health care, the argument goes.

Nonsense. It’s more like we have met the enemy and he is us.

Trump won the race that only he could have won by promising to rebuild America’s working class. If he can do that through better trade, defense and energy policies, the rebirth of Midwestern civilization will turn the Rust Belt into the Recovery Belt and its voters as reliably conservative as those in the New South.

After almost 400 years in Maryland and more than 130 in Montgomery County, my family is leaving the once Free State. My children never will return – they abhor the theft of their money, liberty and dignity at the hands of the ultra-liberal Democrats in the county – so there is no reason for me to stay. I’m joining them. Family first.

Gun Advisory for Travel to California

Gun owners warned to stay away from California
California's state capitol building in Sacramento

WASHINGTON – Some states have been more willing than others to allow citizens to exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms.

But there’s one state that is considered dangerous even to visit due to its restrictions on that constitutional right.

The Second Amendment Foundation has issued a travel advisory warning gun owners not visit California.

"The state’s restrictive laws literally leave residents and visitors defenseless,” the group stated in a report.

SAF warns "law-abiding armed citizens that their civil rights could be in jeopardy due to that state’s restrictive gun control laws.”

A NOTE FROM JACK KEMP

So this means that any thief in a hotel with out of state visitors is more comfortable in believing the guests won't have a gun for protection. As you may recall, I wrote up a piece after I was in Queens County court near my home after Californian and Tea Party activist Mark Meckler had his duly packaged and licensed Glock that he took by plane to NY declared illegal. Queens County is where the two NY airports are. He was lucky to be able to afford a high priced lawyer who got him only a year of probation as NY City also stole...errr...confiscated his gun.

This could be the basis of a rewrite of the 60s rock tune "If you're gong to San Francisco." Now, instead of the song saying "be sure to wear some flowers in your hair" it would now say "be sure to wear a bulletproof vest and fight like a bear."

Republican challenger has offer for napping Mayor de Blasio....

Jack Kemp

She offered the sleepy mayor a can of Red Bull!

http://www.theblaze.com/news/2017/08/08/bill-%e2%80%8bde-blasio-challenger-offers-the-mayor-a-pick-me-up-after-report-he-naps-in-his-office/

BEGiN QUOTE

One of New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s political opponents tried to offer him a pick-me-up Tuesday after the New York Post reported that the mayor frequently takes naps in his office.
The Post reported Monday evening that de Blasio often takes post-workout naps on a couch in his office.

SECTION OMITTED

The Post also reported that on Tuesday, Republican mayoral candidate Nicole Malliotakis walked up to the mayor after she spotted him outside City Hall and offered him a can of Red Bull.
The Staten Island assemblywoman told the Post that the mayor did not accept the caffeinated energy drink she offered him.

END QUOTE

Nicole Malliotakis is way behind in the polls but so was Trump. The only thing Hillary thought she had to worry about was where to hang the portraits of Stalin and Lenin in the White House. Let's hope that Nicole breaks the glass ceiling in New York, which has never had a woman mayor.

"Fire and Fury" Unprecedented Rhetoric?

Timothy Birdnow

When President Trump threatened North Korea with "fire and fury" the media called in unprecedented and utterly irresponsible. Democrats blew a head gasket. John McCain came out against Trump, saying this isn't helpful.

Unprecedented? Really?

I submit to you the following:

In 2002 George W. Bush refered to North Korea, along with Iran and Iraq, as an "axis of evil" and in 2003 taunted the Iraqis "Bring it on"!

George H.W. Bush called Saddam Hussein "Sad Dum" - a play on words meaning "shoeshine boy".

Ronald Reagan made the following comments:

My fellow Americans I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes. (Comment while testing a microphone before a broadcast 11 Aug 84)

The little dictator who went to Moscow in his green fatigues to receive a bear hug did not forsake the doctrine of Lenin when he returned to the West and appeared in a two-piece suit. (On Daniel Ortega Saavedra)

Evil Empire speech http://voicesofdemocracy.umd.edu/reagan-evil-empire-speech-text/

Yes, let us pray for the salvation of all of those who live in that totalitarian darkness—pray they will discover the joy of knowing God. But until they do, let us be aware that while they preach the supremacy of the State, declare its omnipotence over individual man, and predict its eventual domination of all peoples on the earth, they are the focus of evil in the modern world.... So, in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride—the temptation of blithely declaring yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong and good and evil.

March 8, 1983

and he called Khadaffi a "Mad dog" in a speech.

These were just a few off-the-top-of-my-head comments by a few recent Presidents. The reality is that this is perfectly acceptable rhetoric in a situation where we are being threatened.
