* One recalls the comment about Bill Clinton being the first American President since FDR to bomb white people, as if that was a good thing.
Now he is bombing people in Paris by proxy.
* The photograph of the statue of Bill Clinton in front of a pawn shop in Rapid City is priceless. I don’t know how much better it could be, unless it was in front of a massage parlor in Reno.
* Here’s a question for Donald Trump to bring up on the campaign trail: If the First Amendment – in it’s present “Separation of Church and State” interperetation – is taken to mean that state and local governments and the federal government can not subsidize the practice of religion, then why do we permit foreign governments to do so?
* Forget about Clinton – what this shows is that Saudi Arabia is the #1 driver of Islamic terrorism. The most insane thing that the West has done in the last 100 years was to take a fanatical but impoverished desert cult, promote them to the leadership of an entire country in favor of the traditional (and relatively moderate) Hashemite dynasty and then given them TRILLIONS of dollars of oil money with which to spread their crazy version of Islam and then allow them to open mosques and madrassahs to spread their hateful ideology all over the world (especially in places with vulnerable Islamic youth) in the guise of religious freedom. Each step along the way made sense (sort of, not really) but when you combine all of these factors together you get global terrorism on steroids and yet the Saudis are still supposed to be our “friends”.
And due to the impoverishment of most Muslim populations (except where there is oil) which in turn caused by their low IQ and inbreeding, high birth rates, corruption and overall failure to thrive in conditions of modernity, there are vulnerable Muslim youths all over the globe, both in Muslim majority countries and also in alienated Muslim populations in the West.
The statues of Clinton all look like department store dummies. It shows you how hard it is to do realistic representational art well without it looking like kitsch.
* The hatewaves emitted by Trump’s moratorium on all Muslim immigration, in addition to radicalizing every Muslim in the present, have (because of their extreme high-energy) also gone back in time and radicalized the Muslims of the past, making him ultimately responsible for the thwarted Fort Dix attack planned by several Albanian Muslim (illegal) immigrants in 2007.
A bit off-topic, but another animal satisfaction I’ll get from Trump thrashing Hillary in the general election, should it so transpire, is the reverse revision of Bill’s status as a smooth, glamorous, latter-day Don Juan, beloved of all desirable and good women. This notion got going in the afterglow of his post-impeachment “victory” and the general peace & prosperity “era of good feelings” ambience of late 90′s America.
I don’t know how much of this was astroturfing by feminist freaks of the “I’d blow him if he keeps abortion legal” variety, but I do remember many fawning lifestyle pieces on Clinton in the early 2000′s showing him in the company of several different (relatively) attractive women not his wife, and it was all wink-wink, nudge-nudge, if-Hillary-don’t-mind-who-are-we-to-judge, and ain’t-he-just-the-world’s-biggest-dreamboat!
The recent “hit-piece” on Trump and his womanizing in the NEW YORK TIMES by two nerdy Millenials, and Camille Paglia’s excellent rebuttal to it, instantly jarred me from the ain’t-Bill-just-the-sweetest-heartthrob media programming of the last 15 years. Take a look at that banquet photo of Trump and Rowanne Brewer. Now that is star power! That is glamour! It exposes Bill’s womanizing with frankly unattractive, overweight, and under-age females- many of whom he had to borderline sexually assault- as the unsmooth moves of the creepy, pathetic loser he really is.
Yeah, none of this should matter if we lived in Plato’s ideal philosopher-king republic, but we don’t, and the propaganda that so many Democratic Presidents have been glamorous ladykillers and that- by extension- you, Republican primary voter over there- must be some kind of bitter, woman-hating loser, has high-time reached the point where it deserves demolishing.
* I am feeling awfully fuzzy and optimistic today as I contemplate the fact that we may be less than a year away from having a president who will end Muslim and other dysgenic immigration, opposes stupid middle east wars but loves our military and loves Israel, and will stop the left from taking over the Supreme Court and the few remaining Circuit Courts they do not control.
Trump is now, for the first time, officially in the lead with poll averages!
These are all things Trump can do his first 100 days. For the Supreme Court, he may have a Dem senate majority stopping him from appointing a young Scalia, but there are plenty of other bland and inoffensive Republicans who can get the mere 1 or 2 or so Dem votes to be approved.
For the wall, he already has a great plan to start: immediately impose fees of Mexican remittances and use them to fund the parts of the border fence that are authorized to be built but were never provided funding. Maybe other standard immigration process fees can be increased. As long as the law does not have a specific amount, the implication is the amount is set by the exec branch.
Likewise, current law already gives the president the power to suspend immigration from specific countries. I doubt Trump can specifically get away with “no Muslim immigration.” But 98% as good is “no somalia, saudi, yemeni, syrian, pakistani, etc immigration.”
I just had a look at Hillary’s campaign website. Yuck, the design and colors are really bad. Even worse is the content of her agenda. My comments in CAPS, everything else is a direct quotation from her “issues” pages.

– MAKING AMERICA LESS SAFE, SIDING WITH CRIMINALS OVER CITIZENS –
1. FORCE BUSINESSES TO HIRE FELONS, AND LET THE FELONS AND GOVERNMENT SUE BUSINESSES THAT DON’T HIRE THEM
Taking executive action to “ban the box” for federal employers and contractors, so that applicants have an opportunity to demonstrate their qualifications before being asked about their criminal records.
2. LET RAPISTS AND MURDERERS CANCEL OUT YOUR VOTE
Supporting legislation to restore voting rights to individuals who have served their sentences.
3. IMMEDIATELY RELEASE MANY “NON-VIOLENT” FEDERAL PRISON INMATES (DON’T FORGET MANY VIOLENT FELONS TAKE A PLEA DEAL FOR A NON-VIOLENT OFFENSE THAT STILL PUTS THEM AWAY FOR A LONG TIME.)
Applying Fair Sentencing Act of 2010 retroactively to allow current nonviolent prisoners to seek fairer sentences.
4. PORK SPENDING FOR TOUCHY-FEELING LEFT-WING INDOCTRINATION OF POLICE
Doubling funding for the U.S. Department of Justice “Collaborative Reform” program to provide technical assistance and training to agencies that undertake voluntary efforts toward transformational reform of their police departments. Across the country, there are police departments deploying creative and effective strategies that we can learn from and build on.
5. INCREASE FEDERAL HARRASSMENT OF LOCAL POLICE, FORCING THEM TO RESPOND TO MORE FEDERAL SUBPOENAS AND COLLECT MORE DATA TO BE USED IN ANTI-POLICE LAWSUITS
Strengthening the U.S. Department of Justice’s pattern or practice unit by increasing resources, working to secure subpoena power, and improving data collection for pattern or practice investigations.
6. PROUDLY ANNOUCES SUPPORT OF VIOLENT DRUG DEALER TRAYVON MARTIN’S MOTHER
Read more: Sybrina Fulton shares why she’s supporting Hillary
7. DO AN END-RUN AROUND THE 2ND AMENDMENT BY LETTING PEOPLE SUE GUN COMPANIES OUT OF BUSINESS
Hillary believes the gun industry must be held accountable for violence perpetrated with their guns. Hillary will lead the charge to repeal the so-called “Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act,” a dangerous law that prevents victims of gun violence from holding negligent manufacturers and dealers accountable for violence perpetrated with their guns.
– DEMOGRAPHIC DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA –
1. DEFEND OBAMA’S EXECUTIVE AMNESTIES OF ABOUT 60% OF CURRENT ILLEGALS, AND “EXPAND” THEM FURTHER
Defend President Obama’s executive actions to provide deportation relief for DREAMers and parents of Americans and lawful residents, and extend those actions to additional persons with sympathetic cases if Congress refuses to act.
2. IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF UNACCOMPENIED MINORS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH CHILDREN WHO ILLEGALLY ENTER THE USA AND MAKE A BS ASYLUM CLAIM (MOST DO NOT EVEN SHOW UP TO THE FIRST ASYLUM HEARING, THEY JUST DISAPPEAR AND START WORKING ILLEGALLY OR COMMITTING CRIME)
End family detention and close private immigrant detention centers.
3. SIGN A RUBIO STYLE IMMEDIATE AMNESTY FOR ALL ILLEGALS PLUS A PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP
As president, Hillary will fight for comprehensive immigration reform that provides a full and equal path to citizenship, treats every person with dignity, upholds the rule of law, protects our borders and national security, and brings millions of hardworking people into the formal economy.
4. CHANGE THE RULE THAT VIOLATORS OF IMMIGRATION LAWS CANNOT APPLY FOR CITIZENSHIP UNLESS THEY GO HOME FIRST
End the 3- and 10-year bars. Current immigration law forces families—especially those whose members have different citizenship or immigration statuses—into a heartbreaking dilemma: pursue a green card by leaving the country and your loved ones behind, or remain in the shadows. Hillary will call on Congress to repeal the 3- and 10-year bars to keep families together.
5. MAKE MORE POOR PEOPLE WHO DON’T SPEAK ENGLISH CITIZENS SO THEY CAN CANCEL YOUR VOTE AND COLLECT ALL WELFARE BENEFITS
there are an estimated 9 million lawful permanent residents (green card holders) in the United States who are eligible to become U.S. citizens. Hillary believes we need to do more to help the millions of people who are eligible for citizenship to take that last step. She will work to expand fee waivers so more people can get a break on costs, increase access to robust language programs to help people boost their English proficiency, and enhance outreach and education so more people are informed about their options and engaged in the process.
– HILLARY’S PLANS TO TAX-N-STEAL THE MONEY YOU EARNED AND SPEND IT ON CRONIES, PORK, AND THE ANTI-WHITE/ANTI-AMERICA EDUCATION-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX –
1. $20 BILLION IN “JOBS” WELFARE THAT IS “TARGETED” TO RACISTLY EXCLUDE WHITES AND ASIANS
Her plan includes $20 billion to create youth jobs, particularly for African American, Native American, and Latino youth;
2. $5 BILLION FOR MAKE-WORK JOBS FOR CRIMINALS
$5 billion to create reentry programs that will help formerly incarcerated Americans get back on their feet when they return to society
3. $25 BILLION IN SMALL BUSINESS LOANS FOR “UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES,” AKA, “NONE FOR YOU WHITE BOY”
$25 billion to support entrepreneurship and small business growth in underserved communities.
4. YET ANOTHER $25 BILLION IN TAXES TAKEN FROM WHITES AND GIVEN TO MINORITIES FOR HOUSING PROGRAMS
$25 billion to remove blight from neighborhoods, remove barriers to sustainable homeownership, and connect affordable housing to economic opportunity. Centuries of housing discrimination have excluded people of color from the mainstream mortgage market and cut families off from communities with high-performing schools, safe streets, and good-paying jobs.
5. YET ANOTHER $25 BILLION TAKEN FROM WHITE TAXPAYERS AND RACISTLY EXCLUDE THEM IN FAVOR OF “HISTORICALLY BLACK” AND “MSI” COLLEGES (MSI MEANS MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTIONS)
A $25 billion fund will support HBCUs, HSIs, and other MSIs serving a high percentage of Pell Grant recipients to help lower the cost of attendance and improve student outcomes at low-cost, modest-endowment nonprofit private schools.
* Trump is walking a fine line now that he’s in General Election mode, he was hardline on immigration in the primaries and now he’s going to try to sooth feathers, which means that his rhetoric is going to be softer and this is going to worry the immigration hardliners. Mickey Kaus is already worried about Trump backtracking on immigration like he’s doing with the Muslim Ban. Add Kobach to the ticket and Trump’s choice sends a signal on immigration that personnel are key, so along with Kobach there will be Stephen Miller and Senator Sessions. This troika is not going to roll-over on immigration thus giving Trump a freer hand to talk gently with all the hothouse flowers out there.
From Kobach’s perspective, I’m thinking that this results in him leapfrogging hundreds of aspiring politicians and because it’s the Don’s doing, loyalty to the Don is expected on whatever it is that Trump actually wants to do with Trumpism.
The VP slot is a weird position. High in symbolism, low in operational authority. Having watched Kobach debate on immigration, I don’t have any doubt that he’d be formidable in the VP debates and on the campaign trail.
Everyone with stature comes with baggage and because Trump is trying to distance himself from Establishment Republicanism, the last thing he needs is baggage. That appeals to the non-Republicans. What appeals to the Republicans is that Kobach hits many of their ideological sweet spots without bringing national recognition and baggage. People already have opinions on Gingrich, Portman, Christie and I’m not sure what these guys bring, in terms of political capital, that appeals to people who are being swayed by Trump for they represent the old Republican Party that alienated these very voters. The Democrats have a harder time attacking someone like Kobach because he doesn’t have a high profile. The lack of high profile is immaterial to Trump because a nomination gives him de facto high profile plus it guarantees weeks of talking heads talking about Trump reaching down below the top tier and pulling out a star player. Moreover, it let’s Trump set the media agenda after the announcement because the media is unprepared for someone like Kobach and so while they’re scrambling to develop a narrative, Trump is already pushing out his narrative.
I can’t see any upside for Trump in choosing an established politician, now he takes on the baggage of whomever he chooses and they have an independent power base and they could undermine Trump within the Party.
