It is amazing how ignorant Democrats are of history. All day long I've gotten tweets from moron leftists saying we need reparations "because we need to hold America responsible for slavery." Nearly 700,000 Americans firkin DIED while being held accountable for slavery. That train left the station in 1865, morons

A mainstream media advice columnist has accused Donald Trump of raping her back in the mid '90's.
She also said he has a small penis.
Now, if she were telling the truth, would she make that statement? There's more:

This is not just a lie, but a profound lie. The Left is desperate.
BTW, Trump likes beautiful women. This gal wouldn't even fire up Bill Clinton.

Bookworm makes the following observation:
Am I the only one who understands that @realDonaldTrump is letting the Iranians know he’s a mad dog who’s just barely leashed and that, if they act up again, the leash will break?

From Tom Harris and Dr. Jay Lehr
Many people think that science is somehow immune to frauds and misrepresentations. Application of the "scientific method†supposedly weeds out the bad apples. Yet, just as in every other human endeavor, there are always scientists who will lie, cheat, and steal to get ahead. A few even received Nobel Prizes before they were found out.
One of these deceptions has yet to be effectively unveiled. The cost to medicine, human health, and energy is huge. That is the unsupportable concept that even the smallest amount of radiation could lead to the production of cancer cells in the human body.

Americans for Tax Reform
Read about it here.
Funny; I thought Republicans were opposed to tax hikes, yet here we are. This guy needs to be primaried out of office. We don't need false friends like that.

Good news! A Federal Court has ruled that the Trump Administration can defund Planned Parenthood! Believe it or not!
'From the Epoch Times:
"Absent a stay, HHS will be forced to allow taxpayer dollars to be spent in a manner that it has concluded violates the law, as well as the Government’s important policy interest in ensuring that taxpayer dollars do not go to fund or subsidize abortions,†the judges wrote in the ruling (pdf), which was published online by CNN.
The judges wrote that Congress enacted Title X in 1970 to create a limited grant program for certain types of pre-pregnancy family planning services. In 1988, HHS regulations were put into place forbidding clinics receiving Title X funds from providing counseling or referrals for abortion as a method of family planning.
Those regulations were suspended several years later by the department but now the Trump administration is seeking to put them back into place, referring to it as the "Final Rule.â€
"The Final Rule was a reasonable interpretation of†Title X, the judges wrote. It was supported by the Supreme Court decision in Rust v. Sullivan in 1991 that upheld the 1988 regulations, which were crafted by the administration of President Ronald Reagan.
That is the truly astonishing part; the Ninth Circuit, the most liberal appelate court in America, ruled the President has the authority to cut off funding. This is like seeing the Dali Lama firing a machine gun in a war, orseeing the Pope in a gangsta rap video. It's just not something we could ever expect.
For decades Planned Parenthood has suckled at the teat of Uncle Sam while promoting abortion, something that half of the country abhors. They've gotten away with it by claiming they keep their abortion services and other "health" services separate, but the reality is there has never been any sort of wall between the two. It is well past time they lost their Federal dollars.
Of course, they will employ the trick so often used by Progressives; change their name and reapply for funding. ACORN, the vote stealing organization that Obama worked for way back when, is now officially defunct, but they still operate under a new name and new management. It's hard to kick these progressive maggots out of the body politic.
But this is a very good opportunity to at least show we do not support reaching into a woman's womb and chopping up little babies.

W. James Antle III argues that war with Iran would spell doom for the Trump Presidency.
From American Conservative:
Whether one thinks a military response to Iran is warranted or wise, I disagree with Antle's logic; Bush wrecked his own presidency, it was not the fault of his Iraqi invasion. Iraq was the shoal which foundered Bush's ship of state, but in the end it was Bush himself (and his rotund pucillanimous brain Karl Rove) who failed to defend his decisions. That was always the maddening thing about the Bush Administration; Bush simply would not contradict the media. That was Rove's strategy; to simply move on rather than fight mischaracterizations and half-truths. Bush conceded the "no WMD's" meme rather than provide evidence (which he had) of those weapons and how they were moved out of Iraq prior to the war. Bush telegraphed the war, and gave Saddam Hussein plenty of time to move his stockpile. Bush no doubt had this information, but he wouldn't use it because (probably) the CIA and others didn't want him to do so. Knowing what we do now, and remembering that the CIA did in fact run a black op on Bush via the Valerie Plame affair (which led to the appointment of Patrick Fitzgerald as special prosecutor) we can conclude that either Bush was lied to by his intelligence people OR they dropped the ball. Either way, Bush should have come clean with the American People. He didn't, and the end result was people stopped trusting him.

An article at Conservative HQ delineates the plot by Democrats to impose slavery reparations on America.The author, George Rasley, hit the nail on the head with this.
From the article:
Jackson Lee’s bill received a hearing yesterday in the House Judiciary Committee — the chamber’s first hearing on reparations in a decade. The bill is expected to soon have a full committee markup, though Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) has not yet set a date. A floor vote would come after that reported Ferris and Oprysko.
This was followed by some quotes by academics who are pushing this. Again from the article:
Malveaux said that the wealth gap between black and white Americans hasn’t diminished over the years—in fact, studies show it’s gotten worse. And though Donald Trump’s presidency has helped to galvanize some of these conversations around racial equity, she added that the work around studying reparations has been done for many years through organizations like the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations (NCOBRA).
This prompted me to leave the following reply:
Question; what is the wage gap between Black Americans and the average person in West Africa? That is the more important comparison, not the wage gaps between Americans. Seems to me the current African Americans have actually profited by having ancestors who were slaves; it got them out of those hell-holes their ancestors inhabited. Nobody is saying slavery was some sort of benefit, but clearly black Americans are doing better than their African cousins. Oh, and does anyone remember George Obama, Barack's half brother who was living in the equivalent of a cardboard box in Kenya? He would have been better served to have been born here, slavery or no.
Everything is blamed on slavery by the victocrats in the black community, but how much is a result of slavery and how much is a result of clinging to a culture that has failed them? Black culture is a blend of the stone-age values of the ancestors of modern blacks mixed a veneer of Western civilization and an unhealthy dose of victimology and dependency. They embrace the Democrats as an article of faith, a religious belief that is at odds with empirical data and their own interests. So many black people blindly obey the slave masters in the social welfare state and the Democratic Party.
I have to ask; why are Asians doing so much better than African Americans? Asians weren't slaves, but they were just barely a step above, yet they do very well.
Victimhood is like alcoholism; denial is the first and most noticeable symptom. The African American community will never find what they claim to be looking for as long as they blame others for their fate. Did they get a raw deal in the past? Sure, but every ethnic group did as some point. The Irish weren't exactly welcomed with open arms. And that is true in all countries through all history. The Romans held slaves; lots of them. Should Italy be paying reparations?
For decades the Federal Government practiced what was called "race norming" in it's hiring practices. They denied they did it until just about fifteen years ago or so; they knew it would be very unpopular. But hiring was done on the basis of how one scored on the civil service exams, yet far more blacks were employed than whites, which made no sense as blacks generally score more poorly on written exams. There was discrimination against whites as a form of reparations. Also, the entire welfare state - the Great Society - was aimed at the black community. In short, we've already had reparations. I wouldn't mind giving them if that would mean the end of things; no more race norming, no more affirmative action, no more whining. But this will only accelerate the pro-black discrimination, not give us a race-neutral country.
Of course, the logistics of reparations are daunting, and they would be inherently unfair. Who pays? Will children of Bosnian immigrants who came here during the war with Serbia have to pay? They had nothing to do with slavery, nor did many white people whose family immigrated after the Civil War. And America has never held the sins of the father against the son. Who receives the benefits? Somali immigrants? They never experienced slavery. This is nothing but a way to enshrine discrimination and reverse racism.
I have a modest proposal; perhaps we should focus our attention a bit more precisely. Since the Democratic Party supported slavery (the Republicans were founded as an anti-slavery party0 and since they supported Jim Crow and the Ku Klux Klan, maybe the reparations should only come from registered Democrats? Just asking.

Another from the St. Louis Police Officer's Association. Seems St. Louis Prosecuting attorney Kim Gardner's indicted investigator clandestinely met with Gardner in Baton Rouge, Louisiana prior to her takedown of Missouri Governor Eric Greitens.
Here is the statement:
Here is the article which gives this information.

The St. Louis Police Officers Association made this comment about the inability of the city to hire policemen:
Here is the article they are referencing.
St. Louis can't get applicants because they are not backing their officers. The District Attorney (our name for Prosecuting Attorney) is a George Soros woman who cut her teeth in the Black Lives Matter protests. She hates cops, and has a list of over thirty that she will not follow up with prosecutions if they make arrests because she says they are racist. The city has allowed protests - and illegal activity during those protests - and even riots. Many city aldermen in the north side marched in Ferguson and in the Shaw neighborhood. City cops are completely hamstrung and there have been shootings of them. Who in their right mind would want to join an organization to be universally maligned?
In point of fact, the police in St. Louis pretty much leave you alone if you aren't committing crimes, unlike many of the police departments in towns out in St. Louis County. The city didn't have control of the police department; the state of Missouri did, and so it was never used as a revenue-generating mechanism.
City cops are hated primarily by criminals who don't like being kept from preying on city residents.
Amazingly enough, an idiot on KMOX radio named Charlie Brennan once argued that we need more immigrant so America to fill vacancies in teh St. Louis Police Department. Yeah; maybe we can get our own version of Officer Noor, the Somali who murdered the Australian woman who had called for police protection up in Minneapolis. We need more like THAT!
What we need is more backing and less groveling to BLM, George Soros, Antifa, and Occupy Wall Street. But then, the Democrats have controlled St. Louis since 1948 when the last Republican mayor was defeated by a Democrat.
Oh, and the SLPD is busy making officers gay pride parades instead of actually trying to stop crime. (See footnote at end for link.)

A Syrian "refugee" in Pittsburg has been arrested for plotting terrorist attacks on Christian churches.
https://www.wtae.com/article/pittsburgh-resident-syrian-man-arrested-on-terrorism-charges-after-planning-attack-on-christian-church/28108243?fbclid=IwAR1SWT0FbB8A6rs8cooAQehKsemA6YYKJoQlI2mvrn-dVpHpoZ1CkOiiTjY
This is what happens when you let people in with insufficient vetting. It is especially what happens when you let people from war torn Muslim countries in without proper vetting. How stupid is America to accept all these "refugees" with no way of verifying anything about them? It's a;generally bad idea to let Muslims immmigrate in general, because they will inevitably begin demanding to live under Sharia, then will demand all the rest of us do likewise.
The media silence on this story is deafening.
Meanwhile, Nike is adding a new line of "sports" hijabs!
What the well dressed terrorists are all wearing!
I suppose we can have a number of new Olympic sports for them; sneaking across borders, bomb making, and my personal favorite, a competition to see who can hold out against water boarding the longest.

Here is a story that disgusts on multiple levels. A homeless Seattle man strangled a wheel-chair bound mother after a bleeding heart judge released him without supervision after only nine months in jail for the rape.
From the article:
Superior Court Judge Nicole Gaines Phelps declined to put Carranza-Ramirez on probation or community release, which would have put him under supervision, after he promised to fly to California on Monday and go to Mexico by land, The Seattle Times reported.
The man, who police infuriatingly described as "a white man" despite being from Mexico and named Francisco Carranza-Ramirez, was released with no probation and no supervision, despite efforts by the victim to obtain a restraining order against him. He showed up at the woman's home a few days later with vengeance on his mind:
"He was just at a distance, just like staring at me,†the woman said, KIRO reported. She called 911 to report his violation of the protection order but Carranza-Ramirez ran away.
About 9 p.m. Sunday, Carranza-Ramirez returned as she took her service dog for a walk and attacked her, knocking her out of her wheelchair and choking her, The Seattle Times reported.
She suffered cuts, bruises, seizures and a concussion before a passer-by intervened and Carranza-Ramirez fled, according to the publication.
Advocates for illegal immigrants claim there is no criminal problem with illegal aliens, yet we have had multiple examples of this nature. How much are we willing to tolerate in the interest of feeling good about ourselves as welcoming people?
Also, nine months for raping a woman? That is a vile miscarriage of justice, to put it mildly. The judge in this case should be impeached and removed from the bench.
Handicapped people are a group that has been part of the Democratic coalition, but in that coalition some are more equal than others. The handicapped are less important than illegal aliens, because the alien invaders offer the road to power to the Democrats and a way to fundamentally change America from what it had been, which they think was abhorrent, into a new nation, with new people, ones more easily malleable. So a handicapped mother can be raped and threatened and little is done because she is of less value than the rapist, at least from a politically correct perspective.

House Democrats voted to amend the Civil Rights Act to include "sexual orientation and gender identity†, paving the way for "transgendered" people to sue Christian bakers and whatnot. Oh, and to allow men to compete against women in sporting events.
According to The Daily Caller:
Eight Republicans crossed party lines to vote for the bill, which had unanimous Democratic support.
The bill amends the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to make "sexual orientation and gender identity†protected characteristics under federal anti-discrimination law.
Among other things, that would force public schools to expand female athletic teams to include biological males who identify as transgender girls.
As Courtney Kirchoff points out at Louder with Crowder:
The reason rabid feminists chant and screech "Women can do anything men can do†is because, as young women and girls, women are treated to some pretty gross behavior by mean young men and boys. It’s just a fact that girls lack the physical strength of boys. It’s science. But too many nasty boys take that area of physical superiority and apply it across life, telling girls they’re not as good as boys in anything. It’s damaging, it’s terrible, it’s vicious. What results is usually girls who grow into women with chips on their shoulders eager to knock men down. If you ever wondered.
Now Democrats have essentially told girls that men are just as deserving of what belongs to women.
And what happens when girls, who feel sleighted by this usurpation, become radical feminists? They vote Democrat, and reinforce the very "woke" ideology that has screwed them over in the first place. It is an assembly line for Progressivism.
Boys who think they are girls are no such thing. They have greater muscle mass, are quicker and stronger. Whenever "transgendered" compete with regular girls they obliterate them. This is patently unfair and unnatural.
It reminds me of the old joke "I can lick any girl in this place"? In the pre-hypersexualized era lick meant beat up, not the current sexual entendre.
What used to be jokes, what used to be something people thought ridiculous and diseased is now beloved and cherished by the Left, and we are told we must accept it, even celebrate it, or we are evil people. Fair is foul and foul is fair.
America is declining faster than Beto O'Rourke's polling numbers.

This is downright silly; a Yahoo News UK article ]darkly warns that Global Warming is going to be the end of fish and chips, along with Brexit.
From the article:
It’s because larger marine species, including cod and haddock, face extinction due to rising water temperatures and a drop in oxygen levels in our seas.
We’ve already been warned a no-deal brexit could lead to a chippy crisis but apparently an indepth research project has revealed the shortage could become permanent.
I guess these brilliant experts don't realize that fish can, uh, swim, and if waters are too warm they will simply go where it is cooler. Oh, and there is little warming in the seas, according to Argo probes. Oh, and we haven't had any statistically significant planetary warming since 1995, anyway.
They go on to quote a "physioechologist" which is likely code for an activist who claims Antarctic sea life is shrinking because of declining oxygen levels. First, Antarctic sea life has little to do with fish and chips.which are species found in the north. Second, global warming is NOT causing a decline in ocean oxygen; that is just plain dopey. Increased oxygen ultimately produces more plankton, which increases the oxygen supply in the ocean. Yes, sometimes a bloom depletes oxygen in an overly dense locale, but that is not an ocean-wide thing.
These people have completely gone off the rails.
Notice how they link these things together; Global Warming is tied to Brexit. The Left created this thing for political ends, and anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool or liar or ignorant.

Alexandria Occluded Cortex compares the invasion on our southern border to the Nazi Holocaust.

Yeah; all those Jews came pouring into Nazi Germany from all over the world and then were put into concentration camps.

William Tisaby, the former lead investigator for St. Louis District Attorney Kim Gardner in her successful witchunt to bag Former Missouri Governor Eric Greitens, has been indicted for perjury.
According to the Kansas City Star:
Gardner charged Greitens with invasion of privacy.
But the charge was dropped when Greitens’ defense team accused Tisaby of perjury and said it planned to call Gardner at trial as a witness.
Tisaby was hired and payed with public funds despite the fact that Gardner had full access to St. Louis police detectives. She didn't want a public paper trail of what she was doing. Tisaby withheld evidence, altered testimony, and perjured himself in court. He was just the tip of the iceberg.
The article continues:
During his deposition, Tisaby said he would return to his hotel room over a two-hour lunch break to check his laptop for notes and reports. Upon returning, he first said he checked his laptop, then he said he didn’t have his laptop.
He also stated he did not talk to Gardner during the break. However, over the course of at least seven phone calls, including conference calls with others, the two were on the phone for at least 34 minutes of the two-hour lunch break, according to the indictment.
Kim Gardner herself was on a vendetta to take out Greitens, who was certainly pervy but not guilty of any crime. In fact, the whole case rested on a picture of the woman Greitens was accused of illicitly photographing, and it turned out the Prosecution did not have any such photo. But it didn't stop Gardner from pushing forward - and not telling the defense in Discovery. Gardner personally met with the "victim" who had been having an ext extra-marital affair with then candidate Greitens, to convince the woman to cooperate in charging the Republican Governor. They met in a sleazy motel in Illinois to discuss the case, in violation of ethical and legal standards.
Governor Greitens, faced with impeachment by his own party, resigned from office. He had an agreement that he would resign and in return would not pursue any sorts of ethics charges against the prosecturor. But nothing was said about Tisaby.
I wrote about the gross legal violations of the Dlistrict Attorney and her stooge at American Thinker at the time. See here for the article.
While Greitens may be restricted in going after Gardner, there is no reason why another prosecutor - or a grand jury - can't. Gardner belongs in prison. She ran because she was angry black criminals were going to jail, and she was one of George Soros' Prosecuting Attorneys Project beneficiaries.

Rachel Dolezol, the phony black woman, has now "come out" as lesbian.
Am I the only one who thinks Rachel will turn herself into any sort of minority to get ahead? Maybe she'll claim to be a Bigfoot next, or start walking on her hands like that Kurdish family in Turkey.
She is where Progressivism will take us.
