| Sheriff Joe (85) receives the good news |
Saturday, 26 August 2017
WASHINGTON, Aug 25 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday granted a pardon to former Arizona lawman and political ally Joe Arpaio, the self-proclaimed "toughest sheriff in America," less than a month after he was convicted of criminal contempt in a case involving his department's racial profiling policy.
Trump had signaled this week that the first presidential pardon of his administration would go to Arpaio, 85, whom he has frequently praised for his hardline immigration stance. (Reporting by Julia Harte; Editing by Sandra Maler)
Whenever a brave White American marches in favor of preserving
his cultural identity and rightful heritage …
I do NOT SEE a NAZI
When leftist agitators march hoping to uspet the Nation's Apple Cart …
I smell a Commie PLOT, SEE?

DeleteThe perverts who make up far too much of today's judiciary are the TRUE criminals. Every one of those bastards is a traitor to the SPIRIT of the PRINCIPLES on which this nation was founded.
DeleteTheir oh-so clever "interpretations" of the law using specious logic applied to legalistic, literalistic thinking are twisted unmercifully to fulfill the Left's spiteful Destructionist Agenda.
I can't wait for the reaction. The left will be a troop of rabid apes rampaging through the village.
ReplyDeleteProbably, but you sound too much as thoiugh you are EAGER for this to happen so you have a good excuse to keep bashng the Left.
DeleteMutual verbal abuse, and a constant barrage of taunts, insults and acriminious accusations from ALL sides make up the nucleus of what ails us politically –– culturally –– and MORALLY.
Extremism in defense of Liberty may be no vice, as Lord Acton said, but Extremism couched in increasingly rude and malevolent terms is not only childish, boorish, and needlessly spiteful, it is a positive EVIL.
It is OK to ignore the law in sanctuary cities but someone who was enforcing the law gets a pardon and the left goes wild.
ReplyDeleteThe largest hate group in this country is the leftists. They march and destroy property, feel they are entitled to a life of free stuff because as Alfred E said "What me work". They have one cable channel devoted to nothing but hate Trump and there is a website that devoted to nothing but hate trump and all conservatives.
Your point, though already stated elsewhere several times, is well-taken, Skud.
DeleteThank you for making it here.
The bigots and racists are now out and about having been freed from any need to act decently by the Trump doctrine.
ReplyDeleteLestard: You just described yourself and your sweaty hordes of violent leftists perfectly. BLM, OWS, antifa: Fascists all.
DeleteFall off the edge of a cliff, you anti-American assholes.

DeleteHEE HEE HEE!!! The loony leftards are going batshit over this righteous pardon. They are trotting out tweets by their hero, the disgraced fired Obamunist JustUS prostitutor, Sally Yapper Yates.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE HOW PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP DRIVES THE PROGRESSIVE IDIOTS OVER THE EDGE!!!
The neocommunist nutbags over at Progressive Erections can't talk about anything else. It's all Trump all the time, with hilarious pictures photo-shopped to make him look like a deranged pig.
President Donald J. Trump lives in their rage-filled heads rent free 24/7. HEH HEH HEH!
I don't disagree, but you sound too much as though you are EAGER for this to happen so you have a good excuse to keep bashing the Left.
DeleteMutual verbal abuse, and a constant barrage of taunts, insults and acriminious accusations from ALL sides make up the nucleus of what ails us politically –– culturally –– and MORALLY. Or as my dear mother would say, "Two wrongs don't make a right."

DeleteRetired Marine Col. Jeffery Powers Open Letter to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell about players kneeling during the United States national anthem reappeared on social media:
ReplyDeleteCommisioner,
I’ve been a season pass holder at Yankee Stadium, Yale Bowl and Giants Stadium.
I missed the ’90-’91 season because I was with a battalion of Marines in Desert Storm. 14 of my wonderful Marines returned home with the American Flag draped across their lifeless bodies. My last conversation with one of them, Sgt Garrett Mongrella, was about how our Giants were going to the Super Bowl. He never got to see it.
Many friends, Marines, and Special Forces Soldiers who worked with or for me through the years returned home with the American Flag draped over their coffins.
Now I watch multi millionaire athletes who never did anything in their lives but play a game, disrespect what brave Americans fought and died for. They are essentially spitting in the faces and on the graves of real men, men who have actually done something for this country beside playing with a ball and believing they’re something special! They’re not! My Marines and Soldiers were!
You are complicit in this!
You’ll fine players for large and small infractions but you lack the morale courage and respect for our nation and the fallen to put an immediate stop to this.
Yes, I know, it’s their 1st Amendment right to behave in such a despicable manner. What would happen if they came out and disrespected you or the refs publicly?
I observed a player getting a personal foul for twerking in the end zone after scoring. I guess that’s much worse than disrespecting the flag and our National Anthem. Hmmmmm, isn’t it his 1st Amendment right to express himself like an idiot in the end zone? Why is taunting not allowed yet taunting America is ok? You fine players for wearing 9-11 commemorative shoes yet you allow scum on the sidelines to sit, kneel or pump their pathetic fist in the air. They are so deprived with their multimillion dollar contracts for playing a freaking game! You condone it all by your refusal to act. You’re just as bad and disgusting as they are. I hope Americans boycott any sponsor who supports that rabble you call the NFL. I hope they turn off the TV when any team that allowed this disrespect to occur, without consequence, on the sidelines. I applause those who have not.
Legends and heroes do NOT wear shoulder pads. They wear body armor and carry rifles.
They make minimum wage and spend months and years away from their families. They don’t do it for an hour on Sunday. They do 24/7 often with lead,not footballs, coming in their direction. They watch their brothers carted off in pieces not on a gurney to get their knee iced. They don’t even have ice! Many do t have legs or arms. Some wear blue and risk their lives daily on the streets of America. They wear fire helmets and go upstairs into the fire rather than down to safety. On 9-11, hundreds vanished. They are the heroes.
I hope that your high paid protesting pretty boys and you look in that mirror when you shave tomorrow and see what you really are, legends in your own minds. You need to hit the road and take those worms with you!
Time to change the channel.

Not exactly a response to the president's pardon of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, DD, but Colonel Pwers make many good points that need to be shared with as wide a readership as may be possible.
DeleteAs everiyone knows, I generally refuse to permit ugly, spiteful, idiotic, jeering, taunting, insulting, inflammatory remarks to remain here, because this blog is a PRIVATE site, and I believe strongly in the ab sokute right of PRIVATE organzatiins to set their own standards, as long as they don't foment criminal activity –– and by that mean Murder, Rape, Mayhem, Kidnapping, Theft, Arson, Vandalism, Extortion and Organized Campaigns of Personal Harassment.
I do NOT believe in criminalizing the exclusioary policies of PRIVATE organizations, or theexpression of OPINION now matter how disagreeable in PUBLIC places. In short I do not believe that HATE SPEECH exists, and proscuting unpleasant, mean-spirited, insulting rhetoric creates a category that could only be called THOUGHT CRIMES.

ReplyDeletePaul Ryan Breaks with Trump to
Condemn Pardon of Joe Arpaio
Washington Examiner
by Kyle Feldscher
House Speaker Paul Ryan is breaking with President Trump over the latter´s decision to pardon former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Friday. "The speaker does not agree with the decision," said spokesman Doug Andres. "Law-enforcement officials have a special responsibility to respect the rights of everyone in the United States. We should not allow anyone to believe that responsibility is diminished by this pardon." Ryan becomes the highest-ranking GOP lawmaker to break with Trump over the decision to pardon Arpaio, who was convicted of contempt of court for refusing to stop detaining Latinos on suspicion of being illegal immigrants. ...
This is why issues such as illegal immigration will never be resolved:
DeleteRyan, Pelosi and the rest of the ruling class had many opportunities to CHANGE THE LAW, but didn't do it.
Our nation is "led' by a confederacy of dunces, liars and criminals, and we enable them with votes and campaign cash.

DeletePolitics has become the business of crying "Wolf" in crowded theatres!
DeleteArpaio's biggest crime was enforcing the law, something the progressives hated!
ReplyDeleteLeftists believe that THEY have am inherent RIGHT to decided WHICH laws are fair and which are immoral, unkind, unworthy, etc.
DeleteAccording to Ralph Waldo Emerson in his famous essay CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE everyone with strongly held convictions has –– or at least should have –– that same right.
The LEFT, however, firmly believes in the appication of DOUBLE –– or even MULTIPLE –– STANDARDS whenever it suits THEIR purposes.
This is what makes them seem so hateful and abhorrent to those of us who think differently from their ever-derisive, ever-disdainful, ever-disruptive, destabilizing, often destructive aims and ambitions.
Is the Left ALWAYS wrong?
NO! Of course not!
The crux of Conservative-Libertarians' problem with the Left, however, is their adamant refusal EVER to admit that there may be times when WE on the Right have made a legitimate point.
My question of the Day, Week, or the Month, is can the Lefties go 24 even hours without accusing Republicans of being racist, or Nazi’s, or their newest term, “White Supremacists”?
ReplyDeleteHas it ever happened? It seems like that is all that they ever do now in every one of their posts. Comments or conversations. .
It seems like their lives revolve around calling people that they don’t agree with “ racist”.
Do they have some sort of psychological problem?
Is it programmed in their every response.?
I have a bit of news for you Liberal Holier than Thou posters here. Think back a little bit if your capable of thinking..
Don’t you remember way in the past, even LONG BEFORE Donald Trump was running for the Presidency. Didn’t you see Nazi Swastika painted or graffiti on building walls, on the subways, or even vandalized on Synagogues? NO? Well I did. So it’s NOT a Republican, or a Donald Trump thing, it’s always been here!
And PS,....Sheriff Arpaio is not a racist. There is nothing racist about enforcing our immigration laws
It is OK for Progressive Mayors, and Governors to ignore the law in sanctuary cities but someone who was enforcing the law gets a pardon and the left goes wild.
ReplyDeleteYes! Skudrunner also made this exact point. Can't say it often enough to suit me. The Double Standard, as flagrantly demonstrated in rank Leftist Hypocrisy, know no bounds.

FT,
DeleteSuits me just fine!
So Sheriff Joe Arpio was held in contempt of court for refusing to obey the order of a liberal federal judge. The order was to stop arresting people who have the uncanny appearance of illegal Mexicans (population in Maricopa County, 30%). Arpio reasoned that he was elected (six times) to protect and serve the people of his county and the liberal judge had no right to dictate to him what his job was, or how he ought to go about it. In this aspect, I think Arpio exercised great courage … because the last thing the “toughest sheriff in America” needed was to be placed in jail for six months. I’m glad Trump pardoned him.
ReplyDeleteThis said, there was far more to the conviction than simply Arpio ignoring liberalist judges. Remember that Arpio conducted an independent investigation of Obama’s citizenship. So, what this actually was, was ,payback by friends of Obama or as I prefer to say.... sleazy politics at its best.
I’m happy about the pardon for Sheriff Joe, and I am not sure if it was politically the right move for President Trump, but of course he was right to do it, as he doesn’t seem to let political considerations affect his decisions
Probably true, but that's the way the Game is played,
DeleteThings were really no better in the early days of the republic.
Power struggles, which s really ALL that "politics" is about, bring out the very worst in all contenders.
It's just the nature of the beast –– the beast being us humans..
When are you ignorant, racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-Semitic, conspiracy-pushing, lie-telling, fake-news, violent, seditious antifa loving Progressives going to learn that just because you spew bullshit from your pie holes doesn't make it true?!
ReplyDeleteYou CAN'T keep your plan.
You CAN'T keep you doctor.
It DOESN'T pay for itself.
It DOESN'T lower premium costs.
It WASN'T a case of workplace violence.
It had NOTHING to do with a video.
There was NO collusion.
There was NO obstruction...from Trump.
Antifa are NOT ANTI-Fascists.
Trump is NOT a Racist just because sore-loser, butt-hurt, violent liberal presidential election loser deniers who seek to strip Americans of their Constitutional Rights say so.
ReplyDeleteDEMOCRATS, Liberals, Progressives...:
“You have normalized violence against us for the last two years. You have set buildings on fire to prevent us from speaking. You have called for our deaths, you have called it “a masterpiece” when our president is killed at Shakespeare in the Park, you laughed at his severed head in effigy as supposed comedy, and you have spoken quite freely about blowing up the White house. You have called honorable men like Jeff Sessions.”Russian operatives”, you have been complicit in correcting the record of phony narratives in the press. You have shamelessly wished death to the unborn grandson of our President. And NOW? You have sent hearts full of rage, rhetoric, and hate into the streets TO KILL our representatives.
“This is not some random tragedy without a clear motive. This is not some senseless act of violence to be fixed by stricter gun laws. Criminals don’t obey laws. No, the gun is not to blame for the shooting of “Republicans” and dozens of violent attacks against us, you are! The blood is on YOUR hands!” – Unknown
It used to be that political discourse and debates were as civilized as they were passionate. No more…
I seem to remember when politics changed as being when George Bush (43) was President, and people began hanging effigies and calling for his death or removal. Things really stepped up when Obama was running for office with personal attacks and unfounded accusations of racism, corruption, and any other “ism” leveled upon the opposition.
Then there was the creation of radical, violent groups such as Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, and all the other mobs that created mayhem, destruction, and even death because of some event (usually someone being killed in some criminal act). With the media portraying such acts as “civil disobedience” and “protests against a corrupt establishment”, the participants generally were not prosecuted, but hailed as heroes in the cause of social justice.
But I have to ask – Why must property of others (usually having nothing to do with the issue at hand) be damaged, livelihoods ruined, and people hurt to prove a point? What happened to civil discourse?
The last election was one of the nastiest that I have ever seen – and both sides participated in the offal-slinging. But it has continued past the election, instigated primarily by the sore loser Progressive Party (formerly known as the Democratic Party). And now this latest incident of not character assassination, but attempted assignation of members of the winning party.
Punch TG Fascists!

It just occurred to me that President Trump is the anti-Obama.
ReplyDeleteEverything President Obama did by imperial decree--instead of passing legislation like every other president did--President Trump is undoing.
President Trump tore up TPP, rolled back the irresponsible stink bomb of allowing transgendered persons to serve in the military, and now he has pardoned Sheriff Joe, the target of a relentless and viscously vindictive JustUs Department gang rape.
Presidential decrees that live by the pen and the phone can also die by the pen and the phone. Eat it, progs.
DeleteTo dismantle President Obama's numerous stink bombs and booby traps, it took an "I don't give a shit" man with a set of brass balls.
The GOOP squishes crouch and cower and accept whatever new status quo the brazen Democrats shove up our wazoos.
President Trump is showing the GOOP cowards how to shrug off the tendentious criticism and roll it back, but instead of following his lead and joining batter, the GOOP cowards are is a defensive crouch, when they are not actively helping the Democrats attack the President.
Fortunately, President Obama blazed a trail for an activist presidency, and President Trump is using those precedents to throw as much Obamunism as possible on the junk heap of history.
