Each of These Pictures Ought to be Worth
Several Thousand Words
_____ HILLARY'S LAMENT _____
My party's over, it's time to call it a day
They've pricked and burst my balloon
And taken the moon away
It's time to wind up the masquerade
They've made my mind up:
The piper must be paid
My party's over, the candles flicker and die
I screamed and dreamed through each night
It seemed oh-so right as I told each lie.
Now I must wake up, my dream must end,
Remove the makeup, my party's over
I now am empty with nothing to spend .
FACE it. I am KAPUT!

It is time for US to REVEL in our great TRIUMPH.
ReplyDeleteTo HELL wth all the wimps who want to act CONCILIATORY with our ideological ENEMIES.
If ever there was a time to act RADICALLY in pursuit of OUR agenda, that time is NOW.
We can't stop the Left from mouthing off, but we CAN –– and we MUST –– restrict the VENUES in which they are permitted to AIR their PHEWS.
Back to the SIDEWALK for LEFTISTS. And do your best to keep them OFF the AIR, OFF BROADWAY, OUT of the MOVIES and EXCOMMUNICATED from our BLOGS.
ISOLATE them and CUT OFF their SUPPLY LINES. Offer them no OLIVE BRANCH lest they use it to POKE you in the EYE.
Whenever you try to be kind or generous to a LEFIST, he soon becomes a VIPER on your BOSOM.
LEFTISTS are DETERMINED BASTARDS and must be given NO sympathy, shown NO mercy and given NO quarter. PERIOD!
LEFTISTS are ANATHEMA
Nobody supported Hillary. Nobody liked her, nobody trusted her. Nobody At All. I seriously doubt that even Bill Clinton supported her. The only reason why people will casted their vote for her iwas to keep Trump out.
ReplyDeleteThe reality is that most people voted for Trump. To keep Hitlery and her policies out. What a disaster that Democratic candidate was. What an embarrassment she was for the U.S.
And you people wonder why President Trump won? He won because the people wanted his politics, and his policies, and not the Socialist candidates that the democratic offered.

Trump is the anathema.
Whoever you are you are an absolute ASS.
DeleteGet out of here, and please don't EVER come back.
Trump won, so yes, storm the ramparts of tyranny and give no quarter to the enemy who has given no quarter to you.
ReplyDeleteI do have a question: Do you consider Silverfiddle, who has treated the defeated politely, to be one of those "wimps who want to act CONCILIATORY with our ideological ENEMIES?"
We do our best not to engage in "person,cities," while we we discourage others from doing the same. Your question, therefore, is not only impertinent, it is completely OUT of LINE.
DeleteSilver Fiddle is a very dear friend and valued blogging colleague, but that does not mean within march in lockstep with one another.
I think, however, that because of the considerable differences in our respective ages it might be safe to say that I am a good deal more conservative than he.
I am no longer willing "to give the Devil his due."
Advancing age and long observation of increasing acceptance of depravity as "normal," ling with cultural degeneration, and moral disintegration have made this navigable I truly REMEMBER better times, because I was fortunate enough to have LIVED through them.
Osservatore,
DeleteI know what he meant. Maybe you're just trying to stir up trouble?
I do believe in that Churchill quote. Being polite costs us nothing, and it may bring some to our side.
Magnanimity doesn't mean acceding to their wishes, granting them anything, or even agreeing with them. It simply means treating fellow human beings with dignity.

DeleteDear, Silver Fiddle, of COURSE that Thing was trying to stir up trouble. I have become a great expert at detecting trolls. I can tell by their noxious SCENT.
DeleteI have learned that one should NEVER give the benefit of any doubt to these minions of Mischief and Malice.
You are still much too young –– and too kind –– to adopt my severe measures yet, but I hope you will learn one day soon that "Dancing with the Devil in Your Parlor" is not only a waste of TIME, it will eventually rob you of your SOUL.
And YES, I am VERY serious.
“In victory, magnanimity!”

ReplyDeleteLove "Hillary's Lament"! "The Party's Over" is one of my favorite standards. It comes from Bells Are Ringing, a fun musical from those wonderful bygone days; if I recall correctly, this musical was written specifically to showcase Judy Holliday.
Thank you, AOW. It's rare when anyone deigns to take any notice of my attempts to write pertinent verse, ether lyrical, contemplative or satirical.
DeleteI remember very well when Bells are Ringing was a brand new show on Broadway back in the mid-1950's. We all loved Judy Holliday, the quintessential "dumb blonde" who always turned out to be smarter than everyone surrounding her.
The show was made into a pretty good movie, which must be available online, I'm sure. Broadway musicals made into movies never seem to capture the magic or the luster of live perforrnances on the legitimate stage.
It is CALLED "The LEGITIMATE Stage" for very good reasons.
FT, I took Hillary at face value when she conceded the election to Donald Trump on Tuesday night. I thought she had suddenly embraced a shred of dignity, if she ever had any to begin with. John Podesta had announced shortly before her ultimate phone call to Donald Trump, that she would make an announcement the next morning.
ReplyDeleteIt now seems like there have been some new plans unearthed to exploit the rioting taking place in several large cities. The Clintons and George Soros are planning a color revolution on American soil to protest this election—The Purple Revolution>
It would be consistent with other Soros color revolutions launched in other ares of the world including the Ukraine and Georgia.
One should never trust a snake.
http://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2016/11/11/clintons-and-soros-launch-america-purple-revolution.html
And this is not intended to spoil the good times, just a alert that there may be more to come before this is settled.
Early in his campaign Mr. Trump, himself, brought this to our attention, and quoted it several times subsequently. The lesson should be clear to all but the stupidest and most ignorant among us.
DeleteOn her way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman saw a poor half frozen snake
His pretty colored skin had been all frosted with the dew
"Oh well," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll take care of you"
"Take me in oh tender woman,
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman, " sighed the snake
She wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk
And then laid him by the fireside with some honey and some milk
Now she hurried home from work that night as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taken in had been revived
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman, " sighed the snake
Now she clutched him to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you surely might have died"
Now she stroked his pretty skin and then she kissed and held him tight
But instead of saying thanks, that snake gave her a vicious bite
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman, " sighed the snake
"I saved you," cried that woman
"And you've bit me even, why?
You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die"
"Oh shut up, you silly woman," said the reptile with a grin
"You knew damned well I was a snake before you took me in
"Take me in, oh tender woman
Take me in, for heaven's sake
Take me in oh tender woman, " sighed the vicious, crafty snake.
Need anyone say more?
I suppose we can always say more, FT.
DeleteA couple of recent stories made me chuckle a bit to myself. On the day after the election supposedly a neighbor of Hillary and bill Clinton met them walking their dog on a walking trail near their house. She took a photo and made it public. Now apparently, there are some doubts about it being an authentic photo as it was likely photo shopped and this Hillary fan and supporter was also photographed at a fund raiser her mother had sponsored for Hillary some time previously.
Another story that's even funnier is the esteemed Newsweek magazine had published a run of 125000 copies with a picture of Hillary Clinton and "Madame President" on the cover. Sounds like they swilled too much of their own Kool-Aide as they were celebrating an election victory before the event...
Link to "Madame President": http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/11/10/newsweek-recalls-125000-copies-of-its-souvenir-madam-president-i/

ReplyDeleteThe Clintons and Soros launch America’s Purple Revolution.
So, those grifting Clintons are not going away.
You didn't REALLY expect they ever would, did you?
DeleteWhen you have no Principles, no faith in Truth, and no Love in your heart, and have predicated your entire life on Deception and Hypocrisy, you are incapable of feeling guilt, shame or remorse.
This might well be taken as the classic definition of a MONSTER.
"One of Trump’s political advertisements, released just prior to Election Day, stated that George Soros, Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen, and Goldman Sachs chief executive officer Lloyd Blankfein, are all part of «a global power structure that is responsible for the economic decisions that have robbed our working class, stripped our country of its wealth and put that money into the pockets of a handful of large corporations and political entities». Soros and his minions immediately and ridiculously attacked the ad as «anti-Semitic». President Trump should be on guard against those who his campaign called out in the ad and their colleagues. Soros’s son, Alexander Soros, called on Trump’s daughter, Ivanka, and her husband Jared Kushner, to publicly disavow Trump. Soros’s tactics not only seek to split apart nations but also families. Trump must be on guard against the current and future machinations of George Soros, including his Purple Revolution."
ReplyDeleteThat's a quote from the article linked above. Apparently from a campaign ad run by Donald Trump. And apparently it's raised the hackles of the enemy that must never be named, as it's been labeled anti-Semitic.
This problem ain't going away any time soon ...
Well, Waylon, you and I know only too well the Source of Most of the Greatest Woe in the Civilized World –– a Source so terribly, fearfully, MONSTROUSLY strong that none dare speak its name for fear of bringing Excoriation, Repudiation, Loathing and Persecution down on his head.
DeleteJesus Christ gave us the foolproof method of dealing with this to great good effect, but The Evil Ones have succeeded in so discrediting Our Savior that most of "us" have abandoned the Christ and embraced Satan.
As has oft been said, Satan's greatest accomplishment to date has been to convince the world that he does't exist.
What they hardly EVER say is the logical corollary. Satan has convinced the world that Jesus Christ, His Father and the Holy Spirit –– the Three-in-One –– never existed, except in the realm of fantasy, myth and legend.
Most people will look at a statement like that, take it at face value, then dismiss it as poppycock. The much-vaunted process of "ignoranticization" ("dumbing-down") has rendered most incapable of recognizing allusions, drawing parallels, understanding analogies and other forms of figurative discourse. This has reduced us to a dull, plodding LITERALISTIC view of everything that lies before us.
Please din't allow yourself to think , even for a moment, that this sad phenomena has come upon us by ACCIDENT. Oh mo! You know and I know what force is largely resp]nsible for it.
What's to be done abut it?
Obviously it can't be imprisoned, tortured and murdered out of existence. That has been tried many times and every time it has resulted in MUCH greater POWER and more DOMINANT INFLUENCE for the force someone sight to exterminate.
Jesus said, "Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."
What does that mean?
I believe it means we must LOVE our ENEMIES. That doesn't mean we must SURRENDER to them, however.
Of course, it is vitally necessary to learn and know for sure WHO and WHAT The ENEMY really is. THAT unfortunately, is never a simple matter.
FT, apparently what has been found in the so-called Weiner Files on Huma Abedin's laptop computer exposes Satanism in full blown practice—including pederasty, pedophilia and "snuff films" which show children being sexually abused and ultimately killed at the hands of the pedophiles.
DeleteIt may be too ugly to ever see the light of day since it touches upon this type of evil at the heights of political power, especially in NYC. People may or may not need to know this ... but it's almost surely something that could only be foisted on a dull-minded goyim population by an evil "that must not be named" ...
Should we start calling it by its best description: "The Synagogue of Satan"?
I guess they all fly on the "Lolita Express".
Hillary Supporters Won’t Like This! But, I’ll say it anyway!
ReplyDeleteThe winner was NOT decided by a racist and craven nation – it was decided by millions of disgusted Americans desperate for real change.. He won it because he faced a challanger wo couldn’t for the life of her tell a story, or a situation without tell a lie, he wone it because he was up against the biggest political CROOK of the century!.
And yes Dear Anti-trump Protesters: Your Behavior Is Just Another Reason Is Why Trump Won In The First Place
It you remember, when Obama won in 2004 and again in 2008, there weren’t any Riots except for my 2 hamsters who were rioting in their cage. But even my Ywo Hamsters didn’t pull any Trump Supporter out of their Car and Beat the daylights out of him and then Carjack the Car!
I didn’t notice any protester Defecating All Over The Streets, or Burning American Flags or threatening to assassinate anyone! Name-calling is one thing, but the names these FREAKS were chanting can’t be described as anything else but DISGUSTING!
How can one equate burning a business, disruption to the masses, destruction of private property to the first amendment? Lets say if your an anarchist or progressive liberal, and even a crazy lunatic! Anything goes. Intimidation by a minority of the majority by the use of violence is TERRORISM, PERIOD!
ReplyDeleteor as some can safely conclude fascism in its raw form. Threatening American citizens in ANY way can only be called fascism!
I prefer t call it BOLSHEVISM, DD. otherwise you are spot in.
DeleteWe seem always to forget that MARXISM gave birth to The Third Reich.
MARXISM has been –– and continues to be –– the Root of most-if-not-all Evil in the Western World.
ReplyDeleteWas I happy when Obama won the Presidency? NO, Was I UNHAPPY because a black man had made it to the ultimate leadership position in our country. The answer is that I didn’t care one Iota if he was a Black man or not, I didn’t like his POLICIES! But the fact was that I gave him a chance,,, Unfortunately he did prove to became someone I could no longer look at when he spoke because I knew a great deal many of the things he said were lies, or he simply said things I just didn't want to hear. And I didn’t want my president to be a Socialist! But he was still my president. I didn't call for his assassination, I didn't pull Obama voters out of their cars and beat them close to death. I didn’t crap in the streets. , I didn't incite a riot, I didn't threaten to move out of the country. I didn't hash ridiculous conspiracy theories about him. I did what most adults do. I moved on. I dealt with it. And I know that I woun’t vote for him or anyone like him in the future. Sometimes I just wished some of my more staunch conservative friends would have done the same over the years. But predictably, they began uttering the same thing some of you liberals are uttering now, "he's not my president."
Fine. If you can't accept The President of the United States as your president, you are refusing to accept the authority that comes with that office. You are rejecting the process by which he was elected, a democratic constitutional process which was painstakingly put together by the founding members of our nation. This office of the president is a position that millions of our service members died to protect over the past 230+ years. You are telling the people who elected him that you don't accept their choice, or that they don't deserve to make it. Instead you call them racist, bigoted uneducated misogynists. All because you didn't get your way.
Those people elected him, and through them the Electoral College elected him. That's how it works. I don't really care who "won the popular vote." And as you ironically demand equality for whatever other reason, for gays, blacks, illegals, what have you, you are willing to deny your peers an electoral process which was designed to give everyone an equal voice. The whole idea of America is to unite behind our leader when he is just and fair, and to rebuke him in unison when his actions are corrupt and unjust. When you refuse to accept him as your president, you should lose the right to do both. When you sign petitions pressuring the Electoral College to reverse their votes to elect the person you voted for--who lost-- you are essentially living in a state of denial. You're expressing your selfish desires to have the electorate robbed of the person they elected in favor of forcing your choice down their throats.
In fact, you are telling the world how much of a bigoted child you are by throwing temper tantrums and/or running for your safe spaces or nearest populated areas to participate in a riot and smash things (or people). You are showing everyone just how intolerant and unfit for real life you really are. Here's a piece of advice: Grow up or get the hell out of America. Your refusal to adapt to a changing reality not only causes hardship for you, but for others around you. Democracy doesn't always take the form you want it to. If us conservatives could deal with 8 years of Obama's lackluster leadership, you can deal with Trump and whatever form his leadership takes.
On January 20, 2009, Obama was my president, whether I liked it or not. On January 20, 2017, Trump will be your president whether you like it or not.
An admirable statement, and one that qualifies you as a Model Citizen, DD.
DeleteI must take exception, however to the false notion that these United States were ever intended to be a DEMOCRACY. The Founders had a healthy –– and thoroughly justified –– fear of ever having to abide by "The Whim of the Vulgar Populace," as Alexander Hamilton called it.
The Constitution, –– as originally designed ––, was supposed to protect us from rash, hyper-emotional notions predicted on ignorance and superstitious bigotry from ever being recklessly enacted into law.
I, personally, do not believe The People should have "the right" to sell themselves –– and the REST of us –– into the moral equivalent of slavery or penal servitude, because some smooth talking Pied Piper figure succeeds in capturing their imagination though sophistry, guile, cunning and artfully concealed contempt for their well being.
I was raised in a confident, healthy, vigorous, virulently anti-Communist milieu. It has broken my heart to see how quickly and easily our people have been turned against their own best interests by evil geniuses who have sought our destruction for well over a century.
So, YES, I most fervency believe that Marxism in ALL its hideous forms should been made ILLEGAL, and those who persisted in trying to promote it should have been judged guilty of TREASON –– a crime punishable by DEATH.

ReplyDeleteThank you. I hope to see more of you over here, Kid. We need more quality input.
DeleteI did not! But don't tell me I don't have a right to complain.I didn't vote because I knew that Hillary was going to lose, and I'd be damed if I'd vote Fig Trump so why bother, why waste my time going to the polling place and waiting on line for nothing.
ReplyDeleteAs long as I pay taxes, I have a right to complain. As long as I am a citizen, I will complain. As long as the crooked politicians in the Republican Party are destroying our government, I will complain. As long as extremists cry Hitler, I will call that demagoguery. I refuse to be forced to conform to simply vote when my choices are so unacceptable. Voting to continue corrupt politics by voting for corrupt politicians is a danger in itself and I refuse to engage because I might fear some idiot calling me unpatriotic. I was called a traitor for not supporting the Iraq invasion. I complained about liberals when they called Bush II, Hitler.
I won't worship leaders who created a slave nation. I won't revere leaders who stole from then killed the Native Americans. Don't tell me Trump is the worst thing to happen in American politics. FDR the great liberal imprisoned Americans just because their heritage was Japanese. FDR wanted 13 Supreme Court Justices, because the 9 we had thought his laws were unconstitutional. Take your false principles and vote for whichever crook you THINK will solve all your problems. President Clinton will give us all plenty to complain about, except for the Kool-Aid drinking liberals who will see her election as the salvation of America. Hogwash!
You ought to be put in jail, you moronic ingrate and if I were in charge, that's EXACTLY where you –– and all people of your despicable ilk –– would be.

ReplyDeleteIs anyone else getting tired of hearing the Liberal Losers crying “RACIST” about this Trump victory? Would you believe that Mitt Romney won a greater percentage of the white vote than Donald Trump? Mitt took 59 percent while Trump won 58 percent.
What about the minority voters?
Hillary only got 88% of the Black vote compared to Obama who took 93%.
Where were the Black Votes Matter?
And where were the Black Votes Matters when Chicago Deadliest had the Deadliest Crime rate in 10 years, where they are only concerned if a White cop pulls the trigger.
Yep every election it's the same ole same ole with the democrats, where the blacks are herded up like cattle to vote, but then they are quickly forgotten until the next election! Handouts will work to get them by until the next gathering in which will occur in the next election cycle.. Undoubtedly the blacks have been content with this, but why ? Now I do see progress happening where as the blacks throughout it all, are really becoming more and more involved in wanting better for themselves than this, and somehow they are breaking the chains that have bound them for so long within their own minds now, and/or from outside forces who want to control their minds forever.
The other morning I stopped at the gas station while on my way to work to get my morning cup of coffee. While there I had the very real pleasure of bumping into a group of 5 black guys who were part of a roofing company. Two of the men were brothers and owned it, the others were hired men. We got to talking politics over a cup of coffee and I was NOT surprised that all 5 of them were voting Trump. They said their biggest obstacle in the roofing business was illegal labor. One of the brothers explained that he could take me around the area and show me numerous bids he had lost, and illegal labor on that job right now. According to Dem's these are jobs Americans won't do. Now when have I heard that song before?.
To tell the truth I am BEYOND tired of seeing NEGATIVE statements of ANY description.

Ok Guys. Enough is enough. I've never been so angry at my own countrymen as I am today!
ReplyDeleteDon’t you think that 4 days of protests is enough already.
Grow the hell up. STOP Destroying innocent people's property and livelihoods is NOT the way to go and it's not part of what we American do. It's high time for you to put on your big girl or boy panties and act Civilized Adults, if you even know what that means! .
Accepting the results of an election is part of the process that we Americans do. . You excoriated when Donald Trump said that the elections were rigged, and he was right And when Trump said that he “Might Not” accept the results of the election, you all were up in arms, ...AND NOW YOU ARE DOING EXACTLY THAT!
There is a process and way to deal with this and it is not violence. And that’s know as voting and NOT VIOLENCE! We are supposed to be on the side of NON-VIOLENCE. Isn’t that why you always preach? We are supposed to respect and support the "other guy" - not destroy his business in a fit of political rage. Do you know who's lives in the place were your destroying in the process?
I'm embarrassed and ashamed and angry. I do not like what you are doing What you are doing is NOT RIGHT and NOT LEGITIMATE. It's time to figure out whatever you did that went wrong. Because your loss was squarely on your side.
So let's control yourselves, if you feel like destroying other people's lives, and property is the answer to "losing" - I want no part of it, because you and I are can be better than that.
That's the Bad and the Ugly. But here is the Good. Listen to it and make it a lesson on what you should do the next time. But the damage you've done to innocent people in cities around this country is NOT the answer. . Learn the adult way to create political change. Acting like petulant children is not it
Oh for CHRIST'S SAKE CAN IT.

Indulging in recriminations, dwelling on negatives, and expressing dislike is HARMFUL. It POISONS the ATMOSPHERE.
If that kind of thing is all you have in your mind, please TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE.
.I know that YOU LIBERALS WANT PEOPLE TO BELIE IT BUT THERE WAS NO RACISM IN TRUMP'S VICTORY. DONALD TRUMP’S FANTASTIC WIN WASN’T ABOUT RACISM
ReplyDeleteThe masses of Liberal require their elite masters to boil down all of reality until it fits into a Neat....Bumper Sticker.
POSSIBLY IT WAS DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH YOUR CANDIDATE!
1. But the truth is that there were multiple "reasons why 59 million Americans voted for Trump, including:
• 56 percent of voters who saw the Supreme Court nominations as “the most important factor” supported Trump.
• 64 percent of voters who thought immigration was the “most important issue” voted for Trump, as did 86 percent of those who want a wall built on the U.S.-Mexico border.
• 83 percent of voters who felt Obamacare “went too far” supported Trump.
• 57 percent of those who viewed terrorism as the top issue backed Trump, as did 85 percent of those who thought the fight against ISIS was going “very badly.”
• 73 percent of voters who felt the “government [is] doing too much” went for Trump."
No, Donald Trump’s Win Wasn’t About Racism at all.
You're right, of corse, Laura, but frankly I am as fed up, sick and tired of reported STATISTICS as I am of angry, idiotic LEFTIST ingrates.

ReplyDeleteSounds like another disciple of Saul Alinsky run amok.
DeleteFiends abound everywhere, don't they?
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but statements must be coherent to be accepted here.
DeleteThe numbers that came out on Election Night were enough to secure Trump the presidency, but they weren’t complete. State officials are still counting millions of provisional and absentee ballots, and within two weeks, Clinton will likely have another few million votes in the bank.
ReplyDeleteMost were cast in the Clinton-leaning states of California, Washington, and New York—not swing states—so they won’t change the Electoral College. But there’s a sufficient amount to put her within striking distance of Obama’s 2012 turnout, and help put an end to the argument that she simply didn’t work hard enough.
“We probably have about 7 million votes left to count,” said David Wasserman, an editor at Cook Political Report who is tracking turnout. “A majority of them are on the coasts, in New York, California, and Washington. She should be able to win those votes, probably 2-1.” By mid-December, when the Electoral College officially casts its ballots, Wasserman estimates that Clinton could be ahead by 2 percentage points in the popular vote.
What’s with the delay? Several states, notably California and Washington, have liberal absentee and mail-in voting laws. California, for instance, allows residents to submit ballots up to three days late (although they must be postmarked on or before Election Day). These provisions have made alternative voting pretty popular, and the ballots a bit harder to count. California alone has more than 4 million votes pending; Washington is waiting on another 700,000.
None of that will have the slightest effect on the outcome of Tuesday's election, thank God, so why bother to bring it up?
DeleteI am grateful for the Electoral College, because without it the entire country would be held hostage to the whims and prejudices of the worst elements in two very narrow, over-populated geographical ranges on the east and west coasts.
The intellectual brilliance, wisdom and far-sightedness of the Founding Fathers knew no bounds.
If would be DEAD wrong for more than nine-enths of the country to be EXCLUDED from the process of choosing our chief executive officers, which is exactly what would happen were it not for the leveling effect of the Electoral College.
We were never intended to be a DIRECT DEMOCRACY.
Direct Democracy translates to this: Two wolves and a lamb vote on what they're going to eat for dinner. Capiche?
Dr. Ben Carson a proud Donald Trump supporter appeared on The View, where he was attacked by host Whoopi Goldberg for endorsing a “racist” like Trump.
ReplyDeleteWhoopie Goldberg said:
“You have aligned yourself with the man who has bashed women, made countless racist remarks – you’re Ben Carson, why would you align yourself with that?” asked Whoopi at the top of the interview, according to Daily Mail.
“Well, you know, you have to look at the good and the bad. There is no perfect person,” said Carson.
“But you look at when Donald Trump first went down to the Palm Beach area, a lot of the [golf] clubs down there would not accept Jews and blacks,” she continued. “He insisted on Jews and blacks and helped to break that open.”
The interview went downhill from there, and it culminated in Whoopi comparing Trump to Hitler. It didn’t take long for The Donald to respond on Twitter, and he didn’t hold anything back:”
MINUTES LATER, TRUMP RESPONDED TO THE ATTACKS ON TWITTER, REMINDING THE HOSTS OF THE STRUGGLING ABC TALK SHOW THAT THEY ARE ON THE BRINK OF CANCELLATION.
I believe true representation amounts to the Congressional representatives in each district voting how the majority in their district voted.
ReplyDeleteIf this were true we'd never have another democrat
president. Ever.
I'm not sure I follow your logic there, Kid. Democrats always claim they represent the great mass of "little people" who are callously taken advantage of by a handful of rich bastards who don't care about anybody but themselves.
DeleteThat, unfortunately, has been the Democratic Party's Narrative ever since I can remember.
The utter falsity of that myth seems to make no impression on the working poor and inner city minorities who've been used, abused, preyed upon and victimized by the Democrats who cynically EXPLOIT them in order to amass votes and ths stay in power.
However, the fact remans that there are far more poor than rich, and too many of the rich and relatively prosperous feel obliged to make a show of support ingDemocrats to assuage the guilt they've been made to feel at having had better luck and being better off.
So, doesn't that mean that Democrats outnumber Republicans?
FT, There were large areas of California that voted red. That in itself would turn the tide into a tsunami each election
ReplyDeleteCalifornia, like many states is really TWO very different states at war with each other thing the same set of borders –– the Urban Poor, Brainless Pseudo-Intellectuals, and Derelict Class v. those modestly prosperous owners of farms, small businesses most of whom live in small towns and outlying districts who perform necessary tasks in the workaday world.
DeleteWhen Obama came into office the Dems held the House, Senate and White House, Since then they have not only lost all of them but also 30 Governorships and just over 900 state wide offices. Is America rejecting their progressive policies?
ReplyDeleteI hope so, Rusty! Could it be that America is now seeing the TYRANNY implicit in Leftist policies?
DeleteSure looks that way. HALLELUJAH!

ReplyDelete“ADL leader: US anti-Semitism worse than at any time since 1930s”
WELL YES, IT IS WORSE, AND IN MY OPINION, IT’S THE DISENCHANTED Hillary gang who is responsible for it.
people used to associate the accusation of "anti-antisemitism" with the David Dukes and Ernst zundelos and Nazi's. you have successfully blurred the line so that people now associate the accusation of anti-antisemitism with Desmond tutu, mairead Corrigan, Jimmy Carter, Nelson Mandela, and some very reputable human rights organizations.
There are some people many of them who are right here on this very Facebook who are blaming Donald Trump for this up-rise of anti-antisemitism, and I think that’s a load of BULL! It’s the very same a-holes who are the Trump Protesters that are doing this so that they can make it look as if it’s the Trump supporters. YES, the Hillary Clinton bunch!.
Think about it, why would Trump Supporters want to make Trump look bad? It don’t make sense!
Also, lets not forget that Nazi bigots are everywhere, even some right here on this Facebook board. Just read the comments from those Pro Clinton and anti Trump people. We have quite a few of them right here. They have been emboldened by our current anti-Semitic president who makes no attempt to hide his hatred of Jews. They're following suit. For example the same people that make comments about Laura Ingraham’s making a speech at the Republican Convention and then raising her hand for applause was turned into a comment saying that she was “Giving the Nazi salute” WHAT TRASH THAT WAS! And we all know very well who made that comment.
To compare Donald Trump with the Nazi’s is Absolute NONSENSE.. And you people that are doing that should be ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES! T is an Embarrassing Act of Ignorance and Political Irresponsibility!!
This is not only stupid, but a falsehood being put out there by his political adversaries who disagree with him passionately, because he DARED to beat Hillary Clinton in her journey to the Presidency! . And the Professors, political commentators, irate and stupid Comedians, Hollywood entertainers, and even and especially some of the people from our Liberal communities who have engaged in the deceitful promotion of this comparison.
This is a form of political demonizing!
Yes, He hates ISIS. He hates Muslim Radical Extremism. So do women. So do Jews, So does Men, and So do I. . In this sense, he has a lot of American support.
He has said Mexican ILLEGALS who are crossing into America are bringing drugs, crime, and some are even rapists, but he has also said “and some, I assume are good people.” Arguing higher crime crates and drug trafficking by illegal immigrants are legitimate concerns Why isn’t he quoted as saying “and some, I assume are good people”? .This is a NOT statement he should apologize for having ever said. Trump does not have and never did have a history of being a racist to blacks or Mexicans or for being Anti-Semitic!
We have the opportunity of taking our country back from the way it has been for the past 8 years, Back from sinking to a level where we were no longer looked upon as the strong and powerful nation that no other country dared to mess with. We have sunk to the level were other nations laugh at us when we issue an ultimatum, or draw lines in the sand that we don’t really mean. . We have the opportunity to regain our respect in the world.
ReplyDeleteI, for one, refuse to base my political ideology on the falsehood that Trump is any of these stupid thinks that the Lefties are calling him, like a “Nazi”, or a “Homofob”, or any of those stupid name. I don’t decide my choice of a leader by the way pizza parlors or bakeries, or wedding planners decide their leaders.. Instead I choose to base my political agenda on the Constitution. So shoot me if I see the bigger picture and see Trump as the better choice. And not for anything from dog catcher to a president as other chose Hillary !
Yes, Trump has promised to do thinks that most ot us Republicans voted for him to do. Thinks that he either he won’t or can’t do, but if we’re being perfectly honest here, most of those things aren’t really up to him…they’re up to congress and I say it’s time we hold their feet to the fire if we really want those things done and quit this thinking that all we have to do is elect a certain president and that president will do it all.
Trump won the nomination, and eventually the presidency, based not on the concept of him but based on the fact that in the end, he was a far better choice than Hillary Clinton is or could ever be. .Now we have the opportunity to begin the process of taking our country back, and making her Great again. We have the opportunity to rebuild America from the way it was dragged down for the past eight years. We need to put aside what has divided us and embrace what we have in common…our common desire to strengthen our nation around the Constitution that we all hold so dearly. To sit back behind your computer and call our President Elect those vile names is not going to help anyone one bit.. The only one that it will help is our enemy.
Suck It Up Buttercup's, Donald Trump is your Presidents.
ReplyDeleteI was told by a leftist ass-hat that if I used the word “Obamamanic” again on their blog I would be banned from their blog. But that jerkoff does not need to ban me I won’t return on my own. This lefty claimed that I was warned me before of using this word-that’s a lie. It’s a waste of time to talk with such intolerant tiny progressive minds. I mean this idiot writes a supposed liberal political blog, but bans people for using Obamamaniac? Wow! I should not be surprised. This is the same idiot who when I described being attacked by Obamamaniacs (the same mentioned in this post below) accused me of attacking him. (?) He claimed I was the only liberal in the country being attacked by other liberals. Really? That makes sense to the progressive mind I guess, these nut jobs only reads Obamamaniacs for facts. What a fool. She said I was wrong when describing LBJ as an arm twisting President. She said LBJ never pressured Senators to vote his way on a bill. Really? This is the kind of uneducated moron that people get information from? She supports the kind of hate attacks I’ve been getting. No surprise since the koolaide drinkers are her buddies. This egomaniac has to update her readers about the daily crap that she writes , to solicit stroking good words from his readers. Sad. that her blog, is nothing but hate filled writings about Republicans.She and Leslie write about how current Republicans are just like the pre WW II Nazis. Really? Open a History book moron! Ron Paul in not Gerbles. Romney is not the butcher of Auschwitz. The rest of the Republicans are not brown shirts. or Hitler like politicians. This is driven by fear folks. It’s silly Jr. High clique crap. It’s easy to laugh at these bigots, but they take themselves seriously and try to (succeed) form lies to become truth. Their delusional truth. They see Obama as some kind of political messiah. They fear truth and openness. As his final act TC censored me and then she blocked me from her blog. Afraid I guess that my words might make her look like more of an ass than she is. Not possible. He prays to an Orb. Should have guessed. These lefty nut jobs are nuttier than righty nut jobs by far, and filled with much more hate.
ReplyDeleteGO TO HELL RN!!!
ReplyDeleteJust a a point of reference, Obama allowed 8,858 Somali refugees intp the United States last year, and a total of 43,000 since he became President
ReplyDeleteLike the Thousands of Syrian refugees he wants to bring in now, and that Hillary wanted to increase, , there is no way what-so-ever to check the backgrounds of these Somalis, we don’t even know it they are even sane or if they are criminals!
All you need to know about their backgrounds to understand that they should not be imported in massive numbers is that they are Muslim. Who really knows what kind of background this beauty Artan had. Maybe he was already a terrorist when he arrived.
I would like to take a moment, to address the morons who are running all over the streets and burning the American flag.
ReplyDeleteWhile the United States Supreme Court has issued a ruling that flag burning is a right, protected by our 1st Amendment…there are a few things that you should know…and I’ll get to those in a little bit.
It’s true, that the Flag is indeed only a symbol. But it’s our symbol, our American and MY symbol. A symbol of freedoms, liberties. Before I do though, let’s first examine why, exactly, you people are doing what you’re doing, because it’s important to have the facts before we proceed.
You bunch of brainless buffoons are burning American flags because…you are disgruntled…but over what exactly? You are unhappy with the outcome of the recent election so yo protest by burning our flag! REALLY? I truly think the real reason you pack of idiots are out their burning our American flag, is that you are a asinine bunch of spoiled, unwashed, pack of dumb, and ungrateful LIBERAL ass-holes! And that you think that you’re entitled to things other people have. Have by earing it by working hard for it, by getting an education so that you don’t have to have things given to you and that you shouldn’t have to earn them.
It’s not enough that you are already getting a free education, free healthcare, free cell phones, free food, free housing, food stamps, a welfare check, free this, free that and free everything else from a president who feeds on giving Free Stuff to everyone.
The problem is that the free stuff you have enjoyed for years, is running out just like the President who has been giving it away. And how do you show your gratitude for getting all that free stuff?...You run all over town burning our Flags, burning down the stores where hard working people earn their living from, shooting and murdering the policeman on the beat who’s there to protect us from people like you!
Somebody has to pay for it and that somebody is not the government, because the government doesn’t have any money it doesn’t take from people who have earned it, like ME. And frankly, I’m sick and tired of it. I’m sick and tired of seeing it, and of hearing and reading about it.. Burning an American flag only shows me that you have your Heads up your ASS.
It's been a tough decade for the political left. Eight years ago a Time magazine cover portrayed Barack Obama as Franklin Roosevelt, complete with cigarette and holder and a cover line proclaiming "The New New Deal." A Newsweek cover announced "We Are All Socialists Now."
ReplyDeleteThings look different now, and not just because Donald Trump was elected president. It has been clear that most voters have been rejecting big government policies, and not just in the United States but in most democratic nations around the world.
But then again the more things “change” the more things remain the same! For an example Nancy Pelosi is STILL an idiot..
While posters on the Demokratik Underground Message Board are of no doubt the fringe far left, the Demokrat Party listens to them and other lunatic leftist sites. The loons have a say in our country and cry they are oppressed, AND IF THEY DON’T GET THEIR WAY, THEY Protest, they Riot, they Ban, and Burn, and Block Traffic, and do whatever they have to do to get their way! when by their own words they wish to oppress others. And just take a look at some of the blogs by the Demokrats that post right here on this Facebook,. These Facebook pages, and blogs are FULL of hatred posts and Vile Photo shopped pictures of republicans, ah, but that’s fine, just don’t do the same and YOU are a “RACISE, and a Radical Domestic Terroistl”
ReplyDeleteThis is the state of our country today after the well-planned and orchestrated Dictatorial Socialist Demokratik Politburo seizure of the country by demonizing and targeting Republicans with such hate filled rhetoric since they lost power in 1994. Spineless Republicans sat back and made excuses and even joined in at times, trying to out liberal these liberals instead of standing up for their party and for America.
Perhaps we could start with the efforts of one Al Sharpton heading a rally today outside the New York Post offices for a political cartoon automatically decried as "racist" because the monkey (the DEAD monkey, no less) was shot by police and now. Fine. I can deal with not associating black people and monkeys it is disgusting, after all, and utterly demeaning, and I agree that it should not be tolerated. But I cannot deal with finding "racism" in every shadow, every corner, every nook and cranny and the manufactured outrage at perceived racism where none exists.
Of course it is racist! It is also a death threat against Barack Obama! But when the shoe is on the other foot, like Donald Trumps foo, it’s just a foolish Collage Kid shooting off his mouth!
This is what we have come to. We (the conservatives) have bent over backwards so much and so often to gain the approval of these loons that we now feel guilty when they complain about it. But it’s the so-called “tolerant left” and the “compassionate left” that are the most intolerant of all people today and must be exposed and opposed every step of the way. So don’t fall into their trap. They don’t have any love for us. Although they may post these love notes to you, they still stab you in the back on their own blogs. Look at them, read them, tune into those slanted hypocritical talk shows if you don’t believe me.
"Five female cabinet picks and the leftists are still in a huff."
ReplyDeleteWe're worried about the Pussy-Grabber in Chief going after those women. He's a star remember and can do what ever he wants.
MAYBE ANGRY WHITE MEN DID CAUSE HILLARY CLINTON TO LOSE, IF THAT’S THE CASE THEN I AM AS PROUD TO BE NAMED AN ANGRY WHITE MALE BY BUBBA AS I WAS TO BE CALLED *DEPLORABLE* BY HILLY.
ReplyDeleteIN THE MEANTIME, I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING ALL THESE DISGUSTING LIBERALS SQUIRM AS THEY WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH MR. TRUMP FOR THE NEXT 4- 8 YEARS!.
First the Left released the names, addresses, cell numbers and email addresses for electors who then received a deluge of demanding, even threatening communications along with people sending copies of the Federalist Papers. If they had only read the book they might have learned about the wisdom of the Founding Fathers but since they usually consider them racist, women haters I suppose they couldn't bring themselves to actually read it.
ReplyDeleteWhen the threats didn't work, and all their other stupid claims and other nonsense, didn't work, they blamed the Russians, and then the Rich Old White Guys, they showed up on the day the Electors cast their ballots in the Electoral College and screamed and yelled at any result of which they did not personally approve. The example below is an extreme case but not the only one. Did the feminist fanatic below REALLY think that the Electors would overturn the will of the people in these states? Is she that deranged?
Let’s summarize for the brain-dead Leftists amongst us, shall we?
ReplyDeleteRigged primaries = FAILED;
Rigged debates = FAILED;
Rigged general = FAILED;
Rigged AMM = FAILED;
Rigged FBI = FAILED;
Rigged recount = FAILED;
Rigged “fake news” = FAILED;
Rigged “Russia hackers” = FAILED;
Rigged “Hamilton Electors” = FAILED.
"Rich Old Angry White Guys! = FAILED and FOILED AGAIN
I can make no other conclusion than this: Demorats, Leftists, Socialists, Progressives, Bernie Sanders supporters, Hillary Rotten Clinton supporters, you have failed.
At12:00 oclock noon today…it is allover ! The community agitator, Mr. Gun Control, Mr. Climate Change, Mr. “It’s Bush’s Fault , is finished, gone, and soon to be forgotten. He will roll up his prayer rug , pack away Sol Alinsky books , and our 8 years of nightmares will finally come to an end, but the damage is done, the deals with our enemies, his disdain for all things un- American, like exceptionalism and the trashing of the Constitution will linger like the stench in an outhouse. But have no fears, Mr. Trump with Make America Great Again...
ReplyDeleteI say let ObamaCare itself to implode…let it wither and die like all the other crap sandwiches and exucitive orders that the Skinny Floppy eared pipsqueak made.
ReplyDeleteTrying to keep those two vulgar creeps Shaw and RN out of here who keep using those stupid and asinine names to get past you is like trying to keep out sand fleas from running up and down your ass in the summer heat.
ReplyDeleteThe country ( as well as the entire world ) is threatened not only by the ignorance, incompetence, bigotry, and hate of Trump, but also by the failed, wrongheaded GOP agenda, regardless the Republican president.
ReplyDeleteAre Black Lives Matter Members Sub-Human?
ReplyDeleteI mean, seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you guys?
ReplyDeleteDo you seriously think that I would partake in your bullshit filth?
No fucking way. But Thanks for playing
Thanks to Mr. O-Clown the US economy has been all but completely wrecked. O-Clown has destroyed trillions in wealth since the election. Those who had saved something for the future now see it melting away. The audacity of the O-clown! At least the O-bots can say that the gap between the "haves" and "have nots" is closing rapidly. Remember the stories by the drive-byes about the large gap between rich and poor during Pres. Bush's term?
ReplyDeleteThis is all a very real nightmare...leading to a very real catastrophe in the U.S. Who can stop this man and his Congressional allies? Why can't the majority of people wake up to the reality of the Obama Nation? I keep thinking today's the day the public will realize he's a liar and rebel...and the day passes and the majority still support him. It's early days yet, but major damage is being done. He's using the powers of the government and the media to silence his public and private critics and keep the people in line and they're willingly allowing it. It's just impossible for me to understand this mentality.
Obama lied; the economy died. Obviously, I am borrowing this from the Democratic Party theme of 2003-08: "Bush lied, people died." There are, of course, two differences between the two slogans. Most importantly, I chose to separate the two clauses with a semicolon rather than a coma
In liberal la-la land it looks Like they are still complaining about the cockamamie story about the “Russians Costing Hillary The Election", and then they will make up the latest new reasons why Hillary lost and Trump beat the Crooked, Lying, little Asinine Jackass to a pulp.
ReplyDeleteBut there wasn’t any Russian ties, and their still isn’t . But these Liberals Crybabies still have been beating this drum for ever, and ever and there still was nothing behind this ridicules story .All the dems have is a Russian fairy tale, they don't want to admit that Trump won legitimately. We are tired of liberals being unaccountable for their horrendous policies that do harm to our country.
But look at how fast the story about Hillary stealing questions at the debate was buried!! My God how far we have declined when a stupid story from a total IDIOT like Maxine Waters makes the headlines and the story about Donna Brazile which clearly showed Ms. Brazile tipping off the Clinton team on a CNN debate questions gets buried .
I guess that Cheating and lying through her teeth is a qualification for becoming president.
BREAKING: Obama's NSA Advisor Susan Rice Requested The Unmaskings Of Incoming Trump Officials!!
ReplyDeleteAND, most likely, Obama gave her the authority to do it! The shit has REALLY hit the fan this time!!
SO THERE IS, a subversive caught in the coup against the Trump Administration....What did she know? When did she know it? and did Obama give the OK? DUH!
AND why are the Lame Stream Media ignoring this?
Also did you know that Susan Rice is worth about 25 million dollars? Now please tell me, how the hell did that happen?
ReplyDeleteKim Jong Un too young and stupid to be someone to reason with, yet you can’t say that he’s unworthy of the attention of an American President
ReplyDeleteBack in the days of Bill Clinton in 1994, he once said that North Korea would someday possess the greatest military threat possible, and they may even have nuclear weapons some day. And during the Obama administration, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton went to North Korea and she was told that they would cease their testing of nuclear weapons…Well their word is as good a the word was from the Ayatollah of Iran who told Obama, and Hillary the exact same load of Bull.
But that was then, and now is now, and now North Korea has 20,000 artillery weapons medium-range missiles, 70 submarines, 400 missile boats and 563 combat aircraft, and an estimated one and a half million man army thanks to their friendships with China and Russia..
And thanks to the combination of Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama…North Korea also has 10 plutonium-based nuclear warheads and a developing delivery system that while not capable enough this time to reach our West coast they are certainly sufficient enough to reach their neighbors like Japan, and South Korea.
The question is, how can or if Kim Jong Un be stopped?..Kim dong will not back down. It is just not in his nature. He’s cuckoo and because of his nuclear weapons, he believes that he is invincible
