Cubs Nation victorious at long last

So, the long wait in Chicagoland is over.

It may seem like a very small thing, considering how close we have come to the corrupt, socialist oligarchy that is already in power preparing to completely unleash their coup d'état, depending on which way the electorate goes on November 8. Have you heard the news on WikiLeaks, by the way? Russia, my ass.
Anyway, let's take a trip back to an America that was strong, that had to fight for everything it was to gain, whose population was used to going without but had a sense of purpose and community and was still on a high from the aftermath of the Spanish-American war victory. The upright vacuum cleaner had just been invented and its creator was seeking a patent for it. Ernest Shackleton set off for Antarctica on the Nimrod. The first Model T automobile was introduced by Henry Ford. And the Chicago Cubs won the World Series.
That year was 1908.
Until November 2, 2016, that was the last World Series title the Cubs ever saw. Since then, many teams have established themselves as perennial winners: The Athletics, both in Philadelphia, then Oakland. The Dodgers, in Brooklyn, then Los Angeles. The St. Louis Cardinals. The New York Yankees. Eventually, many years later, recent exhibition teams such as the Kansas City Royals, the Toronto Blue Jays and the Florida Marlins shook up baseball. Older teams such as Baltimore and Detroit got a title each. The Red Sox broke the curse after an 87-year drought. The White Sox won the year after, ending an 88-year curse.
The only teams left standing, that aren't post-1969 additions to the league, that hadn't won a title in ages were the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Cubs. Indeed, how fitting that both should compete in the World Series.
Cleveland has been in the playoffs regularly since the mid-1990s, having come in first place in their division seven times since then and appearing in the '95 and '97 World Series contests. The Cubs hadn't been in a World Series since 1945. The last time they came close to being in the WS, in 2003, it was ruined by a fan interfering with a fly ball that Moises Alou would have otherwise caught in the National League playoff series. So, if you didn't know the back history, there it is. The Cubs were demonstrably worse off than the Indians, whose most recent championship title was 68 years ago.
My wife and I had friends in Chicago that we saw in person in 2005 and 2006. Both were Cubs fans. I learned a lot about Cubs fan culture from them. It shared similarities with the agony that Red Sox Nation had experienced, but at the time, we had just won the first out of three championships with which we have been blessed since the turn of the century. And the outrage at the 2003 NL playoff fan interference was still being felt by Cubs fans. I heard commercials on Chicago radio referencing the time-honored patience, resilience and ultimate resignation of Cubs fans.
During our first visit to Chicago in '05, I was wearing my Red Sox cap through customs. The officer there said, "Oh, trying to rub it in?" I smiled good-naturedly and insisted that I wasn't. "Well," the officer sighed. "You know what they say. The enemy of my enemy is my friend." He was alluding to the St. Louis Cardinals, one of Major League Baseball's most successful teams, second only to the Yankees, and a divisional rival of the Cubs.
I have looked Cubs fans in the eyes. I have known what they must have felt up until now. And I definitely know the jubilation, ecstasy and elation they must be feeling today. I'm happy for you, Cubs Nation. Well done. Let this be just the start of a very successful string of World Series victories for you. You definitely deserve it.
In fact, have a dragon on me:

What retards: Clinton campaign has begun to reek like its standard-bearer

Did you know, mes amis, that if you're the head of the FBI, failing to recommend an indictment of a felonious presidential candidate by changing the statute is the milkshake that will bring all the Democrats to your backyard? But if you are forced to re-open a case because you promised Congress under oath that you would if you discovered fresh potential evidence of malfeasance and corruption, and because you're facing a mutiny from FBI agents, then you're a pariah who is engaging in illegality and demonstrating partisanship?
The one being investigated is the accuser in this case, and when it comes to illegality, she would more than certainly know.
I refer, of course, to this monstrosity and complete waste of carbon known as Hillary Clinton. Or Madame Mao. Or "the Stinky Retard," because, according to her chief propagandist John Podesta, people have complained that a retard is what she's acting like and that she smells of "boiled cabbage, urine and farts". In other words, a more perfect candidate for the Left you could not possibly find. Mentally challenged individuals who never bathe and who constantly crap their pants represented at least 95 percent of the entire make-up of the Democratic National Convention. Even Bernie Sanders had more dignity than this. No wonder the Dems had to bring him down. (By the way, don't these liberals lecture us not to use the "r-word"? I thought that was insensitive? Moonbats, am I right or did I just imagine that?)
So not only has James Comey violated the Hatch Act according to that low-life thug paragon of virtue Harry Reid, but now it's Alicia Machado to the rescue—again. Campaigning with Mrs. Poopy Pantsuit in Florida, the Venezuelan former Miss Universe opined that it is "clear that he [Trump] does not respect women." Because collecting slush fund contributions from regimes that enslave women is the way to solicit the female vote. I'm pretty sure that Zuhdi Jasser, for instance, has never complained about Muslim men callously calling their wives "eating machines", and would consider honor killings to be much more serious, but what would he know?
"He thinks he can do h-whatever he h-wants and get away with it," Machado told the assembled crowd. Oh yeah, now that doesn't describe Hillary at all, she's the total opposite of that. Yep yep. But, hey, Machado is standing up for "woman," don't you know, and she is doing it "law-oo-dly". Why don't they just bring back Seddique Mateen, the Taliban-praising father of the Orlando nightclub shooter? I'm sure his English would sound better than this flunkie's.
We have heard from Barry Obama, the Democratic party, the media and the liberal elite that Hillary Clinton is the most qualified person for the presidency ever. So why does she have to cheat? Donna Brazile, the interim chairperson of the Democratic National Committee, was fired from CNN as a political analyst over WikiLeaks proof demonstrating that she shared debate questions with Clinton before the network's sponsored events during the primary run against Sanders. WikiLeaks has shown many other examples of the media colluding with the Clinton campaign. Perhaps most damning of all, it has been reported that assistant attorney general Peter Kadzik kept Podesta informed of proceedings from the original investigation of the Clinton e-mails.
Then there's this: What has Clinton ever done, ever accomplished after 40 years of such lofty, loyal servitude to the American people as a public defender, First Lady, senator and Secretary of State? According to Hillary herself, she went to "112 countries to negotiate with friend and foe alike" and she was "in the situation room when we brought Osama bin Laden to justice." Oh yeah, and she fought for "children and families." No good Democrat can ever leave out "the children". It would help her credibility, however, had she not laughed at the 12-year-old victim of a sexual assault after helping to get the scumbag who violated her off charges. It also is not very good form that the Middle East is in total turmoil, and the power-hungry triumvirate of Russia, China and Iran are in ascendancy, and that friends have been treated as foes while foes get apologies and even license to develop nuclear weapons.

When you boil Hillary's so-called accomplishments down to the very essence, it's that she married Bill Clinton. She knew that, as a team, their combined political chicanery and outright deviousness could not be beaten. You can't be a crime family all on your own, after all.
Thanks to the WikiLeaks exposes and the re-opening of the investigation of Hillary by FBI jefe James Comey—who's still an idiot, by the way, that hasn't changed—the Clinton campaign is in total free-fall. If the polls are even to be believed—not that they would ever be manipulated in any way, ever—Hillary has completely lost her former 12-point advantage.
Despite the nonsense talking points, which is all the Clinton campaign has now, the situation is as talk-show host Edward Woodson recently noted:

They've already tried the Russian thing. That didn't work. The FBI investigated the connection and found that there is no connection. They were going to go after the tax returns, which is, again, a non-story. Who cares about the tax returns? What is that going to do? That's just going to give more information to his detractors, and they're not going to understand the tax returns anyway. 

What else are they going to come up with? They're going back to the old, tired attack lines for Donald Trump. If it didn't work a month or two ago, how's it going to work now? 

In the final week of the campaign, they're going to go back to the old playbook. Trust me, you're going to still hear about Russia, Alicia Machado, the taxes—and I'm sure they'll bring up some other floozy bimbo that they'll get out of the recycling bin.

Woodson is right. Will this circular file of losers and wasters that are contained therein be tapped once more by Clinton and the Dems? They had better hurry up and roll out the next slob to accuse Trump of being a big meanie.
Have fun with this while it lasts, dear reader. There's never been an election like this one in the American experience and it will most assuredly make the history books. As much as we need to dispatch with Hillary Clinton for good so we never have to hear from her again, ride this one out for all it's worth. It is as precious as it is pathetic.

'Captain America' to the rescue?

Awww, bless. Joe Biden wants to engage in fisticuffs with Donald Trump. At a speech in Pennsylvania, Biden said that rather than wishing he could debate the Republican nominee for President, he would "take him behind the gym." Isn't that cute? He must be confusing Trump with Paul Ryan, the stooge he whipped in the 2012 vice presidential debate. 
Never mind that "Mr. Tough Guy," as Donald is now referring to him, would run all the way back to Delaware in his Depends to hide behind his deadbeat constituents if Trump simply flicked him hard on the nose, batted him behind the ear or punched him in the arm.
It won't happen though. After Trump essentially told Biden "after you ...," the incumbent veep chose to reason his way out of a physical confrontation with the billionaire by telling Chris Matthews on Softball Hardball, "The point I was making is he is trying to dumb down, he's insulting everybody in the neighborhoods I come from and the people who played ball," Biden told Chris Matthews. "And that was the point I was trying to make. This is just absolutely unacceptable behavior, period."
Joe Biden doesn't need to back out of a brawl with the Donald to prove that he's a ... what's that "p"-word again, Amtrack Joe? The fact that he apparently didn't hang out with alpha males who talked like normal young men already proves the case.
There is a huge difference between "locker room" banter and actual intent. In fact, uncouth talk among virile fellows in the men's room, changing stalls, the bar, the worksite, etc., is a way of working out certain desires in a harmless way. In mixed company, it is unacceptable. In places of male-only refuge—if you can find them these days—it is par for the course.
If men can work off their hot blood by having an indecent laugh among themselves, isn't that a good thing? Again, liberals, tell me again how human beings are perfect? Seems to me nature gave human males a healthy way to offset what might otherwise be unfortunate, predatory behavior.
Simply ask the women of Germany or Sweden if they prefer "locker room" talk or the sinister, deliberate acting out of debased desires. Ask that unfortunate 10-year-old Austrian boy, even. That's what happens with "pure" men who wouldn't dare talk dirty for fear of offending their maker. They just rape and defile women instead.
Alas, a party and a political class that embraced Ted Kennedy, John Edwards and Bill Clinton can hardly be expected to know the difference.

Willful ignorance of the Never Trump brigade will kill the American nation

Note: I apologize for the intemperate language of the following, dear reader, but it desperately needed to be said, as I have long since lost my patience with the anti-Trump "conservative" crowd.

Apparently, according to talk-show host Chris Salcedo, an early-voting member of the "Never Trump" asylum movement opined on Facebook regarding his vote for the GOP Establishment's, and Glenn Beck/Eric Erickson/William Kristol wet-dream, Evan McMullen, informing all and sundry, "I can now sleep."
This is sad. This creep can sleep after participating in the demise of the country vis-à-vis a Hillary Clinton presidency? When presented with a real alternative to the total train wreck that will be another Democratic administration, he can snooze after choosing the imaginary one? The concern among these lunatics appears to be, what will happen to the Republican Party if Trump is elected?
Seriously. The country is going to completely collapse under more debt, the borders will be thrown open even wider than they already are, the rot will flourish in the education hierarchy, the suburbs will continue to be molded into "mixed neighborhoods" so that the dependent class can ruin them, and we'll have a thoroughly corrupt government oligarchy answerable to no-one, enforced by a liberal activist Supreme Court, reminiscent of former Eastern Bloc governments. (A Russian émigré told Michael Savage during his attendance at a public showing of the third presidential debate, "If she wins, we will tell you what's going to happen to America from now on, because we grew up with this.")
Yet, these fools are worried about the fate of the Grand Old Party which hasn't been grand for going on 30 years now. This is a party that honestly thinks Jeb Bush, who would have been the third of a political dynasty, is what the country needed and cannot understand why he sank so quickly. This is also a party that believes a sell-out and jester for Big Business and the Chamber of Commerce like Paul Ryan can "rescue" them in 2020, should they just keep Hillary at bay. Which, anyone with the brain of a snail can inform you right now, they will not do. They wouldn't want to be called "sexist," y'know.
For the umpteenth time, all you Never Trump morons, listen to me and try to get this through your remarkably, phenomenally thick heads: There would not be a Donald Trump—no-one talking about a shake-up of the whole stinking political institution—if your precious Republicans had done their jobs in the first goddamned place. If they would not sell out, if they would not cower under their chambers at the slightest suggestion that they're being unfair to Bozo Barry, if they voted anywhere close to how they said they would during their Tea Party-backed campaigns, if they didn't vote for legislation they know to be disastrous just to prove that the government can work and prevent—oh, God—that terrible monster known as a "government shutdown" (eeek!), perhaps if they didn't roll over and pant like sexually aroused German Shepherds at the prospect of a few $100,000 bills being placed in the waistband of their panties by corporate pimps, then the Republicans would be just fine.
As Salcedo noted on his October 18 show, "The Republican leadership hasn't given a damn about you in the last eight years. The Republican leadership has surrendered to Barack Obama, has abandoned you to Barack Obama, has let him have his way with you. If they would have given us half a reason to vote for them, half a reason to support them, Donald Trump wouldn't be the nominee."
I'll be blunt. If Trump does get elected, then I will sleep very comfortably. I will feel an immensely satisfying sense of schadenfreude at the Republicans' collapse. These people brought it upon themselves, they have buried themselves, and they have no-one else to blame. Mitch McConnell can be a toolbag and fault talk-radio listeners for having unrealistic expectations, but when that jerkwater turkey-neck of his gets broken, I will be elated. There is no-one in this party that I have any respect for anymore, no-one whom I suspect will actually vote their true consciences, except Jeff Sessions, Rand Paul and, hell, even Ted Cruz. The rest of them are empty suits, nothing of substance there to be had. Somehow this will all change when Madame Mao gets elected. Are you people this insane?
I don't care what your dreams are. Your Republican Establishment prince in shining armor is a fantasy. You don't get to have him this election cycle. Lindsey Graham isn't going to suddenly appear and say, "welll, golll-lly! Huh-huh!" You have instead a highly successful man with actual testosterone running through his veins and an ancient, spiteful hag who is physically disintegrating. Those are the two in the running. That's it! Or, shall I say, ¡Eso es!
The border and immigration, solid tax policy, rejigging trade to serve American interests, regulatory reform, shrinking the size and scope of government and trying to get the deficit below a trillion dollars—what don't you like about that? Because it's being offered to us by a man who, golly gee, uses ribald language in private and who may have inadvertently brushed the arm of a woman on a plane in 1981? Yeah, I'm sure Marco Rubio is an absolute choirboy, 24/7. Give ... me ... a ... break.
A solid, "purist" conservative, Mike Pence, is his running mate. Trump will clean out the Obamabots from all the government agencies that the Dear Leader has poisoned. He will get the NSA off your backs. He will at least try to make the political system more aligned to the wishes of the electorate instead of corporations or foreign lobbies. And he will protect We the People's God-given rights by electing Constitutionalist conservatives to the Supreme Court. You won't have to fret about the First, Second or Fourth Amendments; they will survive.
And you Never Trumpsters want to throw that all away because Paul Ryan might shed a few tears and get butterflies in his stomach on November 8 if Mr. Trump is declared President-elect?
What else don't you like? That we won't have a war with the nuclear power known as Russia that all the neoconservatives flocking to Hillary are advocating? That we might instead team up with the Russians to defeat—and destroy—ISIS and every other Islamist, Salafist or Shia-obsessed group in Syria? Don't give me that Russia is rigging the system in favor of Trump. Why would Putin do that when he owns Clinton? Concentrate instead on the corruption in the Hillary camp that has been proven by the WikiLeaks dumps. And don't give me the Crimea either. If the population there is overwhelmingly Russian, then by what right does Ukraine have to it? If Putin was trying to invade Kiev, that would be another matter. But he is not.
What else do we have to lose under Trump? Gee, maybe we'll have a Central Intelligence Agency headed by a rational pragmatist, which you think would be required for that position, and who doesn't cite climate change as the biggest threat to our existence. Maybe, once that stratosphere-reaching idiot James Comey is tossed out along with his size 17 shoes, we'll once again have a Federal Bureau of Investigations that will do its job by following up on leads and capturing and prosecuting proven terrorists that are known to them and who will inform the good folks at the Council on American-Islamic Relations that they're next on the hit list if they don't shut their jihadi-excusing traps about it.
We can once again have an American military that cares about winning conflicts should they arise rather than acting as a social experiment in which transsexuals can feel just dandy about themselves and a Defense Secretary who distinguishes himself with medals of valor and not a pink tie.
Did the news about Clinton's former undersecretary at the State Department, Patrick Kennedy, requesting that the FBI declassify a classified document in a quid pro quo arrangement of which Trump has cited as proof that the State Department, the Department of Justice and the FBI have colluded to cover up for Hillary somehow escape your notice? This is just one of a seemingly never-ending litany of corruption and illegality espoused by this candidate which, apparently, you Never Trumpsters have no interest in putting an end to. Keep looking at your vaunted Republican Congressmen while they look the other way. 
If nothing else can convince you, then how about this: In the event that Hillary Clinton gets elected, because your votes for this third-party nobody will steal votes away from Trump, she's coming for your heads as well. Don't think that having opposed Trump will score you any points in Hillary's administration. You're going to suffer along with the rest of us. You will be responsible for the country going to complete and pure Hell, nobody or nothing else, because you had a chance to save it and you will have turned away. Stop the vain talk about being able to look at yourselves in the mirror and think of your children.
No more bullshit, people. Don't conspire to kill this proud nation—VOTE TRUMP/PENCE ON NOVEMBER 8!

The liberal stranglehold on the NFL must be broken

People wonder why I'm not as much into sports as I used to be. We all know that ESPN, the biggest provider of sports talk, news and analysis, has been liberal since at least the turn of the century. But now the disease has wormed its way into the National Football League. Football is macho, right? With liberals constantly trying to debase it, citing brain injuries but simply wanting to tear down another American institution, it is rapidly becoming the mainstay of pansies.
The league wants to crack down on the sport's best quarterback, the white Tom Brady, especially given that he's a friend of Donald Trump and keeps a "Make America Great Again" cap in his locker, over deflated footballs. The resulting "Deflategatge" was everything the investigation of Hillary Clinton should have been. I have not witnessed anything so egregiously dumb; you'd think the President had given the Islamofascist regime in Iran millions of dollars in ransom money ... oh, wait.
We were treated to detailed descriptions of the term "pounds per square inch," Brady's team, the Patriots, were going to be fined, Brady himself was to serve a four-game suspension. Who did Brady know and what did he get them to do for him? The investigation produced a 243-page tome called the Wells Report. Brady apparently ditched one of his phones during the investigation, which was a big deal, but not when Clinton's people do the same thing. (If you want to read more on how ridiculous the whole things was, and still is, read Dan Wetzel's excellent column which addresses the issue.)
The fey goon running the league, one Roger Goodell, has presided over a sport that has actively embraced every instance of (anti-)social activism. In July, Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell posted a graphic drawing of a black-robed figure wearing an American flag-patterned scarf slashing the jugular of a white police officer on Twitter, commenting, "They give polices [sic] all types of weapons and they continuously choose to kill us." Crowell apologized and that was that. How come Brady couldn't just apologize?
The NFL has kept players like Adrian Peterson who beat his son with a tree branch and used money from his own charity to fund a weekend of debauchery. For the child-beating, Peterson sat out one game. For the embezzlement, no action whatsoever was taken. Had Brady done this, Goodell would probably have had Gillette Stadium blown up. Former Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice was suspended for two games for knocking his fiancée out cold in February 2014. Rice agreed to attend court-supervised counselling and charges against him were dropped. In 2015, Rice pursued wrongful dismissal charges against the Ravens, who had dropped him during his suspension, and it is understood that he received most of what he claimed during the settlement. In deciding Rice's punishment, Goodell said that he "didn't get it right". Oh well.
Yet when the Dallas Cowboys wanted to honor the dead Dallas police officers by putting decals that announced "Arm in Arm" on their helmets, the league ruled against them. Can't have any pro-police sentiment going on in the NFL!
"These [the police] are our friends and our loved ones … it hurts to not have the NFL fully support us," said Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation president Sgt. Demetrick Pennie.
But when a washed-up, second-string quarterback for the 49ers, Colin Kaepernick, decided to sit out the National Anthem during pre-season games, citing an oppressive America that does not fulfill its promise of equality for all as the reason, the league could not have been more supportive. It's all about freedom of speech and of expression. Somehow that didn't apply to Curt Schilling at ESPN. Funny how that works. 
According to "Craperneck," earning $19 million a year is oppressive. However, there is no other country on Earth that would pay this talentless sack of garbage that kind of money for throwing a pigskin, and doing so with a rubber arm. Although there was an initial backlash against Kaepernick, he has since been lauded by the NAACP, sales of his jersey have skyrocketed and the 49ers have defended him. 49ers owner Jed York has matched Kaepernick's donation of $1 million to inner city charities. Let's be clear, 1 million to Kaepernick is chump change, the equivalent of me having 100 dollars and giving a buck to a Big Issue seller.
Players across the league have been supporting Kaepernick and plan to kneel during the National Anthem. The entire Seattle Seahawks team is contemplating such a "protest". These spoiled, bratty men, who are fit for absolutely no other purpose but catching a ball and running into each other, are ingrates and the fact that they want to do this around and on the fifteenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 is beyond disgusting. I don't think any word in the English language is strong enough to convey just how insulting, degrading and selfish this is, so those words will have to do. The Kaepernick cancer is spreading and Roger Goodell continues to indulge those anti-police, anti-American demonstrators in his league.
I'm supposed to worry about brain damage in so-called professional football players? Their brains are already fucked up. What's a bit more damage going to do? Perhaps a good head injury will straighten them out, who knows?
Fifteen years ago, police were heroes and we were all Americans. Then, seven years after that horrible day, a demagogue named Barack Hussein Obama got elected as President and the country has been torn apart after eight years of his poisonous agenda which allows gullible fools operating on low-wattage minds to embrace a vicious fictional tale of oppression and privilege that even Dickens would have rejected.
Fifteen years ago, we cheered a true hero, a football player named Pat Tillman who gave up his linebacker position with the Arizona Cardinals to join the Army Rangers in the wake of 9/11. Tillman was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan in 2004. Now we laud punks like Colin Kaepernick who protest over nothing and sacrifice absolutely nothing in so doing.
Screw the NFL. I don't need its product, and I certainly don't need to listen to that stupid-ass Sunday Night Football opening song while the league rakes in the moolah from the dumb hicks on sofas nationwide who don't give a damn and continue to watch it. Not for me, thanks. I'm good.
Some liberal-minded observers and commentators have said that Kaepernick is following in the footsteps of the recently deceased Muhammad Ali. This falls flat on three counts:
1. Muhammad Ali became a member of the Nation of Islam at a time when civil rights were a legitimate concern. The NoI and the Black Panthers—who made their presence felt at the 1968 Summer Olympics—were angry reactions to indignities the black community suffered during that period: the lingering Jim Crow laws in the South and a lack of representation for their communities in the North. They were over-the-top, but they served a purpose at that point in history.
2. Ali sacrificed for his beliefs. He went to jail for refusing to serve in Vietnam. No matter what you may think about the whole "No Vietnamese ever called me a nigger" propaganda, Ali stood up and got counted for what he thought, proving he was a big man in more ways than one.
3. Ali was the best in his field. He thoroughly excelled at his sport. One thousand years from now, Ali will still be considered one of boxing's greatest fighters. None of this could be said about Kaepernick, his football skills, the agenda he is embracing nor the circumstances in which he is raising these issues. Black American citizens have the representation they had previously lacked. Not only the President, the Attorney General, the head of the DHS, but representatives, Congressmen, and local government officials across the country are black. David Clarke, the Sheriff of Milwaukee County, recent scene of race riots, is a black man. Police officers in cities have a significant number of black officers.
Kaepernick, his defenders and the whole Black Lives Matter (Only When White People Are Involved) are placing the struggles of the past into contemporary society, which cheapens the civil rights battles of the past. The issues of the 1960s are not the same as today. There has been progress, but "progressives" refuse to acknowledge it. It is inordinately sad. How can so many people be duped by naked, cynical divide-and-conquer tactics by a power-hungry political elite?
Speaking of Muhammad Ali, it is worth remembering that he eventually became humble. The formerly arrogant fighter started to admit that he was just a man. He became less of an activist and more of a humanitarian. During the late '70s, Ali announced that he would do good in the name of his religion and his beliefs. He was grateful for his white fans. Although a Democrat, Ali visited Reagan and "Dubya" Bush in the White House. In many ways, the man who passed away earlier this year had become the embodiment of what it means to be an American. Can any of this be predicted for the current crop of self-styled social justice warrior losers? I highly doubt it. Five years from now, no-one will remember Colon Colin Kaepernick and good riddance to him.
Perhaps if members of the black community embraced family life again—the family was once the staple and the strength of the African-American community before Big Daddy Government parked its malodorous ass there, shitting out welfare checks—and encouraged its young to stop idolizing criminals and thinking that being a rap star is the only legitimate way to be rich and black, then inner cities across the country would be reborn. Embrace education and knock it off with the racist "Oreo" and "Uncle Tom" comments that get directed at blacks who love to study, who stay out of trouble and who respect authority.
We hear so much about how the middle class has been pulverized from Right-leaning populists who mean it and the Left who treat the subject as just another talking-point, but only in rare cases does the dissolution of the black middle class get brought up. The day that blacks in America, as well as Hispanics and working-class whites, can have a tree in every yard and a picket fence surrounding their homes is the day that true parity in the land of the free will have been achieved. In the '70s and '80s, we were getting there, until the radical elements of the SDS and the Weather Underground became "academics" in the '90s and infiltrated the government.
We can get there again. We can stop the madness. Blacks and whites can look at each other as citizens, nothing more or less, again. It will take a sea-change of public opinion and policy. It can be done. And we don't have to wait until November.
Encourage sponsors to drop all malcontents, just as the Air Academy Federal Credit Union did with Kaerpernick copy-cat Brandon Marshall. Boycott the NFL and ESPN. Now.

Trump has refined position on illegals, not abandoned it

So apparently it's all doom-and-gloom in the Trump camp. His campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, caused a stir when she suggested that a deportation force for illegal aliens may not be realistic. Trump himself has suggested a softer approach on illegals. This has offended many Trump supporters.
This is all Trump needed. He not only has to fight the media, fight the Democrats, fight the establishment Republicans, but now some of his own base.
I see things differently. Trump is letting his voters know now that sending all illegals back is not as straightforward as they have been led to believe. It's better to hear Trump discuss this now instead of looking like a promise-breaker once in office.
Here's the deal: We know who the illegal aliens currently in our prisons are. They can easily be shifted. If the countries from which they came don't want them back, then the U.S. can threaten to withhold foreign aid. The next step is to stop the flow of benefits, social housing, health care and driver's licenses to illegals. Once Uncle Sam and the dumb gringo stop providing the incentive, once everything is no longer free for them in America, a phenomenon of self-deportation will occur.
At that stage, we simply enforce our immigration laws. We let border control and ICE do their jobs.
It is folly to think that 40 million Elian Gonzalez-style raids will erupt across the country if Trump wins the presidency. It won't work like that and it can't work like that. The American people are too sensitive to ever allow it.
Trump is informing us, with three months left until Election Day, that Gestapo tactics are not only unnecessary, but they are wrong, ill-advised and inhumane. Why does anyone have a problem with that?
And, as talk-show host Michael Savage has pointed out, we still need the guest workers to work the fields and build the houses. Americans will not do these jobs even if the pay is commensurate with their expectations. Illegals cannot take jobs from Americans if Americans are not willing to do said jobs. If they come in on a limited-time guest worker program that does not entitle them to the same benefits as citizens, then there should be no issues. Even Switzerland allows foreign nationals to do the labor that the Swiss themselves won't perform.
So, Trump supporters, relax. Trump is not going back on his word. He is just letting us know that "send 'em all back" is not a viable policy if it involves kicking down doors.

It shouldn't be this difficult to tell which candidate is the true monster

When the pot calls the kettle black to the degree that Barry Hussein Obama did last week, you know that the bias in the government/media complex cannot possibly be any more naked than it currently is.
Last week, Bozo the Big-Eared Boob gave a press conference during his suck-up junket to Asia, telling a crowd of reporters in Singapore that Donald Trump is "unfit to serve as President." With respect to the GOP's support of Trump despite the candidate's bluntness—though some would call it refreshing honesty—Obama rhetorically asked Republicans, "What does this say about your party?"
Do I have to go over what having Hillary Clinton, especially after eight years of this complete failure of a President, says about the Democrats?
She has been a complete hack—what the Left, her defenders, laughably prefer to call a "public servant"—her whole life. Hillary could never have achieved any sort of power if not for her marriage to Bill Clinton, without which she would have been a complete loser her whole life. She was jettisoned from her job as a House Judiciary Committee staffer in 1974 for being what Watergate investigation chief counsel Jerry Zeifman called "a liar" as well as "an unethical, dishonest lawyer" who was seeking to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel during the investigation. Whitewater, Travelgate, Vince Foster, Benghazi. She defended her rapist husband by referring to his victims as "nuts and sluts". E-mail scandals and using an unsecured private server as Secretary of State. Although FBI director James Comey did not recommend indictment or had her testimony under oath, he has said that "it is possible that hostile actors gained access" to information on her server.
She has solicited the support of Khizr Khan, a charlatan, an immigration lawyer whose job it is to get Saudis and Pakistanis into the country—basically profiting in visas for rich Muslims—a proven sharia law-supporter, based on his past writings, who is tied to the Clinton Foundation and whose career would pretty much tank under Trump's proposed ban on foreign Muslims. Khan alleges that Trump has never made any sacrifices, a truly laughable accusation to aim at a prominent businessman, but hasn't detailed any sacrifices that Hillary has ever made. (Oh wait, there aren't any.)
Also supporting Hillary is Seddique Mateen, the father of a jihadist mass-murderer who shot dead forty-nine people just months ago in the same city where Clinton was holding a rally that he attended. Mateen was seen sitting just twenty feet away from Clinton, pretty much front-and-center at the event in the Orlando suburb of Kissimmee. When interviewed by a gobsmacked member of the local media, Mateen said, "Hillary Clinton is good for United States [sic]." Allahu akhbar! You dumb infidels, heh heh heh. You can just picture Mateen's Saddam Hussein-style moustache rising up and down with each vicious chuckle.
Yet when Patricia Smith simply wants to know why her son, former information officer Sean Smith, was killed and why she was lied to about the events leading up to his death, Clinton cruelly dismisses her and won't talk to her any further. There is no outrage by the media. The Trump people are being so horrible to the "Gold Star" Khan family, but a complete lack of justice for Patricia Smith bothers no-one in the elite. Smith told Breitbart News Daily host Stephen K. Bannon:

She purposely treats me like dirt, and will not answer any questions that I have. And then I see her on TV, saying 'It was not my bailiwick.' This is the only person I've ever heard of who doesn't have a bailiwick when you're running the whole darn department! If it was her department, and it's not her bailiwick—why? Why can't these things be answered to me? Why did my son have to die, if it's not her bailiwick? Whose bailiwick was it? Who gave the order to pull all the security? I guess it's not her. I need these things answered, and I think I have the right to have them answered. What happens is, I get—people tell me, people until very recently told me that they put a hit on me, because they don't like the way I talk. Well, I'm still here, people. I'm still here, and I still want to know why my son is dead.

But the media and the establishment of both parties just wish Patricia Smith would go away. What a pain in the ass for poor Hillary! That's right, I said both parties, because Paul 'RINO' Ryan, Mittens Romney, Lindsey 'Grahamnesty', Glenn 'Cheeto Face' Beck and all these other Republican "heroes" can jump on Trump's case over the Khans, but they say nothing about the Democrats' total rejection of Patricia Smith's requests for answers to her inconvenient questions.
At long last, some justice may come Patricia Smith's way as she, along with Benghazi victim Tyrone Woods' father Charles, have filed a wrongful death lawsuit in federal court against Hillary Clinton. We shall see what comes of this. As usual, Hillary will probably take her place in court with that snarky bitch-face of hers, wondering why she must once again be made to answer for something.
Seriously, what has Hillary Clinton ever done, for anyone but herself? Donald Trump, along with Tony Schwartz, authored a book in 1987 called The Art of the Deal. With respect to that book, a reviewer for the New York Times said of Trump, "He makes one believe in the American dream again." In 2006, Trump teamed up with well-known motivational speaker, self-help guru and investor Robert Kiyosaki to author Why We Want You to be Rich. And what has Hillary given the world? Two self-pitying bitch-fests entitled Living History and Hard Choices and a tome in which she argues passionately for Big Daddy Government to bring children up, 1996's It Takes a Village. I know which books I would rather read. I would learn something constructive from Trump. It Takes a Village would school me in deconstruction of sorts, and I don't care for that.

So, to get back on track ... Let's see, I am supposed to feel horrified that Trump called on Russia to give back Hillary's e-mails. Right. That's so appalling! It defies the narrative from the diabolical neoconservatives, who wish to send more of America's young men and women to perish in far-off lands so they can make their blood money from contractors. Yeah, I'm really pissed off about that. Yep, yep.

Then I'm supposed to rethink my support for the Trump campaign because he expressed the thought that Mr. Khan's wife, Ghazala, didn't speak at the DNC convention because the sharia law that her husband supports doesn't allow her to. I refuse to buy the media narrative that she can't speak of her son because she'll get too upset. No, she'll be smacked across the room by Khzir once they get home if she does. Trump is 100 percent correct in his observation.
Now I'm expected to be furious because the media insists that Trump subtly called for Hillary's assassination at a rally in North Carolina. OK, let's have a look at what Trump actually said:

Hillary wants to abolish, essentially abolish, the Second Amendment. By the way, if she gets to pick her judges [for the Supreme Court], nothing you can do, folks. Although for the Second Amendment people, maybe there is, I don't know.

The media has treated this comment, taking out of context as they always do, as a sort of "wink, wink" suggestion that Hillary get a cap in her mammoth ass by gun-rights loonies. It is clear to anyone with a brain that what Trump meant was that the government is not going to take away people's Constitutionally protected right to self-defense without a hard fight. Second Amendment supporters know where they stand and they will defend the principles in the Bill of Rights, especially since they know that once the Second Amendment falls, the First won't be far behind. Freedom of speech will officially give way to political correctness, to be enforced in a style that would make Stalin cry with pride.
If you want to play the game involving veiled threats, I've got some examples for you, dear reader: In May 2008, Hillary Clinton herself referenced Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 assassination to explain why she was still running in the Democrat primaries against then-Senator Obama. Where was the media to accuse Hillary of pulling the "wink, wink"? Last month, Elizabeth Warren told Stephen Colbert that it was imperative that her base—the hardcore Left—must, with regard to Trump, "take him out now." Now, I'm sure the good whiter-than-white Native American senator from Taxachusetts did not intend to suggest that Trump be assassinated, nor was it necessary for her to clarify. But, by the media's standards, it sure can be interpreted as a threat, no? Establishment GOP hack consultant Rick Wilson, who looks like a goddamned pedophile if I may be allowed to say, opined last summer that the donor class must "put a bullet" in Trump. The reaction to that was, of course, complete media silence.

Two key points:
(1) I'm supposed to take offense to an apparently succinct reference to Hillary Clinton's assassination when this bitter, dried-up, barely living period stain is responsible for at least SEVEN murders? Those would be former White House deputy Vince Foster, Benghazi victims Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen Doherty, Tyrone Woods, Iranian nuclear scientist Shahram Amiri, and Democrat National Committee staffer and Bernie Sanders supporter Seth Rich, who, as a result of his righteous rage, was prepared to blow the whistle on the Clintons, exposing their delegate-stealing, vote-rigging modus operandi. Seriously, I am? Go fuck yourself.
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has vowed a $20,000 sum for whoever comes forward with any provable information regarding Rich's death and I hope it produces a result very soon.
(2) The bitch is dying anyway, and right in front of our eyes. Constant coughing at the podium. Weird brain freezes and head jerks. She nearly referred to Trump as her husband recently. (I'm perfectly sure that gave the Donald some screaming abdab-laden nightmares.)
But, for the mother of all proof, Clinton couldn't even walk up six friggin' stairs. Six. Stairs. Not six flights of stairs. Six damn stairs. Staff had to help drag her pathetic, solar eclipse-causing butt up to the landing. She is 69 years old. Not 89, not 99. I don't buy for one damn minute that a 69-year-old can't climb six stairs, unless it's already obvious that they're seriously sick. And that's Hillary. Sick in the head since birth, but now very sick in body. She is ridden with blood clots. Some medical experts have theorized that Hillary is prone to a pulmonary embolism, which would (thankfully) finish her off.

  "Jesus Christ, this damn whore would weigh only 100 pounds if it weren't for that 50-pound caboose of hers!"
As always, I continue to be perplexed not only by the reluctance of the media to tell the truth, but of the Hitler-in-the-bunker, establishment Republicans who continue to see Trump as the embodiment of all evil when all he's done is construct buildings and say out loud what most normal people are thinking, when we have a demonstrable monster as his opponent. This is impudence on the grandest of scales.
Just for the record, all you "Never Trump" shitheads? Yeah, I'm still blaming you if Hillary wins in November.
