Halt That Book !

One of the most wonderful things in our civilization, and one of the best-kept secrets of success is the proliferation of  The Little Free Library .

The movement has prospered without any infusion of taxpayers' funds or bureaucratic mismanagement so that it pretty much interests most of the United States.

But the nasty worms and vultures are coming out of their fetid somnolence to attack one of the most beautiful imperatives ever to grace the mind and influence of literate men and women. The cancer lurks among us: that coterie of evil that wakes up every morning fueled by a raging fear that "somewhere someone is happy and that they are doing unselfis nice things..."

Especially in Shreveport Louisiana and Los Angeles California.

Some years ago, a Midwesterner, with a desire to memorialize his deceased mother who inspired him as a bibliophile, built a structure on his front lawn near his mailbox about the size of a church bulletin board but with depth enough and shelter enough to contain a selection of books.  He attached and invitation on the structure that encouraged his neighbors (and anyone else who passed by) to "take a book and leave a book". He called it his "'Little Free Library" and he recounted in a brief  paragraph his mother's lifelong advocacy for free-flowing information and love of books. All books. Any books.

Now there are thousands of these front yard libraries where people exchange literacy daily throughout the continent.  READ STORY HERE !

But nothing this beautiful, wonderful... This earth-changing can blossom and thrive without some attention from Lurking Luddites.

I'm reminded of a poem by the great Vachel Lindsay:
"Someone's always breaking windows! Someone's always throwing bricks ! Leaving filth and nasty garbage...Playing dirty YAHOO tricks !!!"

When the Little Free  Library  was endorsed by book lovers in the movie colony, police visited those who had constructed and supplied free lending stations for readers, and the officers reported that "complaints" had been received about the small  book-loan operation and that municipal authorities wanted the structures torn down, removed and NOT replaced. Permits would  be costly.

For some unaccountable reason, the mind numbing dicta have surfaced only in Shreveport Louisiana and in the toens  "within" Los Angeles. There are about 80 such creations in Los Angeles county. Stay tuned. 

THAT STORY IS HERE !

This blog is just to put our audience on alert (En Garde !!!)

Present day Politcal Correctness moves to change the meaning of clear thought and purest motives.  It is lethal to individual freedom and suspicious of anyone 
possessed of an attention span longer than a mobile text message.  And the nature of these attacks is never what the attacker adopts as camouflage cover. Certainly, to some  cretins, Rembrandt's  Night Watch or Botticelli's  Venus-on-the Halfshell might be eyesores. These clods  would decry the lack of  limbs on the Venus De Milo and opine that she scandalized the neighborhood.  But they just would be in a fit of hatred of anyone   with a love of books that have no pictures to look at.

Of all the things that we have read about that plague our civilization and threaten to hasten Gotterdammerung, these 2015 book-burners  are rivaled only by the conspirators in the 9/11 Holocaust  as enablers of the End Times that we once  did not believe in.

Mercy....

Beset By Savage Sorceery

We wwere not provided a syllabus in any of the courses we took at Buford High School in the 1940s. But we understand that nowadays it is de rigueur  to offer such overviews for those prepping for college. 

Ergo, the PeeCee plague is painfully present in the preparation of public school pontification.  The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) has found that schools in the United States now require students to recite "Allah is the Only God"  and some parents  are actually UPSET about that... Some even exhibit ANGER ! (That's a PeeCee no-no also....


HERE ARE INSTANCES !

We have become inured  to the antics of the pinko indoctrinators in the groves of academe,where a student can be flunked out of the course for saying "God bless you" when another student sneezes.  But coercing a tenth-grader to vow allegiance to the Muslim deity is a new level of forced NEWthink.

One shudders to imagine what would happen at one of these schools if a student actually stood up in assembly and "witnessed" for "a savior, Jesus"!!!  Probably a mass exorcism of the student body sponsored by the Beta Club or Cheerleaders .

What troubles some who retain active grey matter and cogitating equipment, is how this Inquisition Impress squares up with the words and actions of the planet's primary pusher of Political Purityy .

When the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)  launched its bloody program of  beheadings, public rape and dismemberment, the New Yorker magazine interviewed U.S. president  B. Hussein Obama and he cloaked ISIS with his  own special tepid sobriquet: "Junior Varsity" !!!

As commander-in-chief, he has dealt with them with sincere fealty to his original snap judgment, attacking only from the air and that sporadically. Meanwhile he repeatedly blames "poor intelligence" for the fact they have tripled the area they control since he flipped them off
as "JayVees".

We may be faintly thankful that the insidious threat in the high schools cannot  get its wires uncrossed or message unmixed with the Emperor of PeeCee  ( who has no clothes and no shame. )

Mao and PeeCee In Hell

If you've been paying attention, you have noticed that whereas 15 years ago serious scientists were speculating about a phenomenon they called "anthtopogenic global warming".  

Most of the scientists were happy enough to translate that phrase into "man-made warming" or "the greenhouse effect".

This happened about the same time that machinations in the SOCIAL science  wing of academia were dabbling in the corruption of the language to accommodate "sensitivities" and "offenders" of disadvantaged and downtrodden minority subcultures.

Among the awkward inventions of the NewSpeak elitist glossary were "gay" in place of "queer" and "African-American" in place of  "Negro" or  "Colored". This was all in the name of an attempt to not disparage or offend people whose personal or physical traits "separated" them from the melting pot population in some way. 

This came to be known in the social scientist's rulebook as "politically correct speech"  and extensions of it were adopted unilaterally by faculties and imposed on students in upper tier colleges and universities, under what they now call "speech codes"  and." Anti-Hate language. Newspaper and TV stylebooks were rewritten to accommodate the resets.

So,  anthropogenic global warming first morphed into just "global warming". When that got laughed off the stage and strictly honest scientists began to point out that no "warming" had occurred since 1996 or thereabouts (when the torrid phony "hockey-stick" temperature change was debunked). THEN  the Chicken- Little  people started murmuring "climate change".

This initiated a return to GLOBAL politically correct enforcement.

Where did this concept whereby fecal matter can be polished to some magic and imaginary luster ?

How about Mao ?  

Yes, THAT Mao.  Mao Tse Tung or .i 21st century coinage, Mao Zedong. Yes, he started it all.

READ  DETAILS  HERE

Mao made a speech in 1939 in which he dictated that there could be no "freedom" for the masses in China until every single citizen of the State thought and spoke correctly articulating the same beliefs without rancor toward any other part of the Chinese government, whether teacher or policeman;  commissar or military; party functionary or worker.  And by the time he had initiated his Great Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward, everyone who spit out the bit or resisted the ropes was dead, and everyone remaining was--- except for a little bump in Tiamanmen Square more recently--- apparently saying and believing by rote !

That's TOTAL political correctness, in concrete, Mao's vision achieved by more than 1 billion participants after the "disposal" of several hundred million.

Therefore to paraphrase John Donne... Do not ask for whom political correctness is tailored. Future generations in  what was the United States of America for 250 years will be chained and resplendent in glittering PeeCee raiment, thanks to Mao's Invention !

SYLLABUS SIN

It would be difficult to count the words that have been written about mind control and the subversive nature  of  trash language in the destruction of stable societies and cultural norms. In its ascending pilgrimage accounted for by five millenia of history, from Hammurabi to Putin and Ayatolla Kahmeini, the world's human population has been bombarded by ... Indeed, threatened and coerced into adopting language with nonsensical roots that engenders behavior that begs credulity.

In Exodus, there is the story of Moses'  followers falling prey to the silver-tongued  Animism of Baal  while their leader was receiving the tablets of the Ten Commandments from the One God. While he was communing on  Sinai's Peak, the restless newly-freed people learned a new language and extracted from it a golden calf-effigy, something they could see, feel, smell, taste  and hear if they struck it.

So it has ever been in the history of seduction, traduction and prostitution of language for the slavery and control of men and women.

There are many historical examples, the most outstanding being the guile and hate of Savanarola's Inquisition, Oliver Cromwell's revolution, Dr. Goebbels' inventions for Hitler's  Nazi Germany  and Lenin-Stalin  Komsolspeak in Russia.

Now it's our turn.

In the Vanguard of Enforced "NewSpeak" predicted by  Aldous Huxley and George Orwell are members of the faculty at Washington State University, where students are warned in course syllabi that if they do not use the language preferred by their professors they will fail the courses and / or be forcibly excluded from class attendance.  READ DETAILS HERE !

  Among the requirements laid down for the students is the rule that they can never use "male" or "female" in any course work.  They are not allowed to use the phrase "illegal alien" and many many more  proscriptions are listed. Some "No-Nos" are left for the instructor / professor to invent later.

This horrible emergence of "speech code" graven in stone, blessed by college administration in  a course syllabus is the flowering of a great  stink-bloom that has been growing for all the years of political correctness fed by the manure of subversive left wing academia in rapture with incestuous passion for mind control of college students.

David Horowitz warned of this encroachment in the 1980s. The organization FIRE and the website Legal Insurreaction play leading roles in ferreting out the destroyers and their identities and activities.

Although Washington State University is the first higher education center to brassily announce its .perfidy in a catalog, you may be sure that many lesser institutions are poised like sprinters in the blocks to follow suit.

The goal, of course, is "K-12 and PreKin !!!"  (The scourge will be fait accompli before you're even finished with Common Core.

The Right Side of Gallantry

What do Armando Valadares and Curt Schilling have in common ?

One was a Cuban poet who spent 22 years if torture in the Castro Gulag.  The other
pitched poetry through a shrinking strike zone in the major leagues.

After cobbling a stellar career marked by indestructible durability in the face of pain, Schilling has usually been known for his outspokenness and his loathing  of anything smacking of "political correctness".

Thank God he will never change. But ESPN benched Schilling from the Little League World Series for telling the truth on the social media outlet, Twitter.

Schilling's tweeted opinion brought into focus some numbers that are hair-raising even to the most politically correct, wussie-whipped among us.

He allowed that it is possible that less than 10% of the German population were Nazis and pointed out that if we accept international Islam's estimation that only 7%  of them are "extremists" that is a "staggering" number. (Actually, 105 million !)

The Tweet was accompanied by a photo of Der Fuhrer, saluting.

SEE STORY HERE !

ESPN in a near- apology for its suspension of Schilling, said his expressed opinion was not in any way compatible with ESPN or its "policies".

I say: So What ? It is Schilling's OPINION !

Back in 1960, Armando  Valladares was a post office bureaucrat in  Cuba's Fidel / Raoul Castro revolutionary government in Cuba when he spotted the communist infection and complexion of Che Guevarra's secret police and Castro's hard left turn into totalitarian ideology.

Valladardes was imprisoned without trial and suffered torture there for 22 years while his wife Marta, PEN International and AMNESTY  International labored  for his release.  Some of his poetry and human rights pleading was smuggled out during the "8000 days".

When Valladares was released in  1982, he settled with the Cubano community in Florida and was appointed Ambassador to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights by President Ronald Reagan.

The Obama administration has treated Valladares the same way ESPN treats Schilling:

It is  worse than any communist totalitarian "party line ".... What you say is not true !(... but-if-it-IS-true-it's-not-important-because-I-don't-want-it-to-be-either-true-OR-important !!!"

The saddest thing is that the man who was once considered the most gallant and pain-proof  athlete in major league baseball APOLOGIZED...for  a "bad move."

Being right is not enough anymore when the rascals and  weasels own all the bullhorns.

Matisya-WHO ?

We would lay all kinds of odds that you have never heard of a rap and hip-hop performer named Matisyahu. 

But his story today lends itself to stunning realization that Jew-Hating, even under the softer sobriquet "anti-Semitism" is alive and well throughout the world... And not confined to the crazies in Iran, Syria, Lebanon, and other night-soil-spots in the Middle East region around the Persian Gulf.

In beautiful Valencia, a jewel in Spain's coronet,  organizers of one of  Europe's most lavish music festivals  have dethroned  Mitisyahu from a premier spot on their program under the guise of  "Boycotting Israel".  Of course there is a multinational group that has pledged to help destroy the nation of Israel by ending any financial investment in any Israeli industry or corporation as well as boycotting all Israeli motion pictures, theater productions and even books.

SEE STORY HERE !

It now appears that by depriving their audience of Matisyahu's talent, they are just finally showing the true nature of the alleged "principled" boycott of Israel for its "crime" of merely existing.

But it turns out that Matisyuma is not an Israeli. He is an American Jew, subject to acts of nasty hatred and violence only in Brooklyn, California and the District of Columbia. ! 

Certainly, citizens of an area that nurtured, learned from and then put to the torch-and-stake all of Sephardic Jewry  would know better or find an easier softer way. But they are  standing on any pro-Palestinian dais.

They're just Jew Haters and they have taken off their masks just like the German Nazis did after Kristallnacht, launching the Holocaust. 

We have long been absolutely sure that the seed of racial / religious hatred burst into the bitter boycott fruit.

Now this small but eloquent act by some numbskull Spaniards has provided us with the truth.

We don't expect any imminent collapse of the boycotting by the anti-Semitic base at all the universities and colleges in the United States, but at least their cover is "blown" and we now know they don't care about Gaza or the West Bank.

They just hate Jews, totally  or  one at a time.

Who's A Loser ?!

Tuesday, the candidate for the Republican presidential nomination who leads the 17-person "pack" told CNN's Chris Cuomo:

"I am a champion Whiner !"

And thereby hangs a tale. Many people want to dismiss Donald Trump as a "clown".

But in our view, he is what he says he is. He is a name-calling whiner. And what is so remarkable about this man who actually graduated from the Wharton school of Finance (in real estate) at the University of Pennsylvania is he is  almost inarticulate. Among his "you knows" and "like I saids" there is one word he particularly loves and uses to label anyone who disagrees with anything he says--- or thanks.

"Loser" or "total loser"  are the labels that sprinkle his "Tweet" and "ReTweet" musings on all his famous Former Friends.

Another's discourse on this with a full list of DT's "Losers, is  H E R E ! 

Does this recurring habit of narcissistic disparagement disqualify a candidate for the  presidency ? Not if you take a good look at the current chief magistrate. Egomania and the certitude that those who disagree with one are  all "losers" may be a qualifying character trait for servants of the people from now on.  It's been so long since we elected or had appointed a person with tacit "leadership"  potential, we have almost forgotten that the first requirement for leadership is SERVICE.

It appears to some of us that LOYALTY is in sparse supply also, particularly in the Speaker of the House and the Majority Leader in the Senate both of whom are branded as liars and turncoats by Congressman and Senators. Therefore, those of us who decry name-calling as a substitute for principle find ourselves adrift  in a turbulent sea where the hungry and thirsty grab any flotsam or jetsam as though it were a life-saving Angel  or a  floating  sancuary.

Providence tells us we still have a half year until the first primary to clear the matter from our eyes and the cement-like wax from our ears and possibly separate the dross from the pure lode.

But, whining and name-calling  no mater how arrogant, will not serve anyone well.

Cindy's Story Wisconsin's Shame

Not enough people are aware of the rich, populist background with constitutional overtones that brought Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker to the attention of  thoughtful Americans.

Walker ran a tight ship, required value for every penny which put him in the crosshairs of the teachers' union and some rogue bureaucrats. He won two elections in one year including a "recall" and defeated his radical left wing attackers in every court case they brought to unseat him. He picked up Democratic and independent support, leaving only the People's Republic of Madison out of his applauding circle.

But the most exciting and THE  MOST  UN-REPORTED events that occurred as "fallout" from Walker's victories, were the jackbooted, battering-ram, dog-killing rampages of radical minded municipal and county police doing  damage to persons and property in harassing conservative- leaning citizens who staunchly and  openly supported Gov. Walker.

Now, the nasty tale  is unfolding !  HERE in THIS story !

In the beginning, four families of  conservaives and Independents joined in telling their stories to National Review Online. At that time, they were all  "John Doe"  because they were frightened for their own safety. Now in the lawsuits against the marauders, one of the complainants, Cindy Archer,has chosen to drop anonymity and personally stare down the offenders in court. Shy with the knowledge that they were in the wrong, the out-of-control law officers have ducked and dodged accountability for several years. Now they face punishment for grave and unjust unconstitutional search and seizure in violation of  human rights guarded by the Constitution. 

It's just as well that it took this long to rip the masks off  these  barbarians. to the extent that the left wing-warped press follows Cindy Archer in court, ( and you shouldn't expect a whole lot) everybody will see what kind of   Wisconsin Scott Walker found when he was elected, how well he fulfilled his promises....And what Wisconsin is like now. We should all be as lucky as they are up there.

Our chapeaux are tipped to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and, as always, to the National Review.

Is It Too Late ?

We predicted this--at least twice !

President Barack Hussein Obama has announced to a continent-wide meeting of African leaders that he can win the presidency for a third term.

This on a day when his Gallup approval rating plummeted to 44% !!!

"I think I am a pretty good president !" he is quoted as saying. 

HERE is the story !

Well, that would take care of the "Hillary" problem and probably it would change the complexion (No Pun Intended) of the Trump challenge.

If  it were not for the matter of a few minor, pesky legal and constitutional issues, could we just all relax from now until November of 2116 ?

Just think about it. Ted Cruz could stop calling Mitch McConnell a liar.... Mike Huckabee would be hard-pressed to link the present administration to "Holocaust" intentions... Jeb Bush could curb his inclination to mutter untruths about Scott Walker, and Carly Fiorina would probably emerge as the only viable un-besmirched Truth-Teller.

How refreshing and Outlook is that ?

What really is unfathomable about all this is: Why did Obama travel to the density of the Dark Continent to float this gassy balloon?  Did he  think somehow that the members of the African Union would "keep a secret" ?

Not really.  Isn't there still enough time for the "Machinery" to smooth the way ?

Certainly "Boo-Hoo" Boehner and  "Murky" Mitch McConnell can be counted on for some heavy lifting and paving of the way ! They've done such a great job of  sabotage on the GOP promises and making naught of  the midterm victories.

Silly  us.  We had all but lost hope that this election would end up with a BANG...instead of a ...w h i m p e r.

Deceit and Surrendeer

What’s wrong with this picture:

John Kerry is negotiating with Iran on their acquisition of nuclear reactor fuel and the lifting of sanctions against the Iranian government

The fact that four Americans are wasting in hellish Iranian prison is never discussed during these so-called “negotiations” from which the United States gets absolutely nothing and the Iranians get everything they want.

In addition the Obama administration releases and sends home to Iran a high level scientist of sensitive background.

What’s wrong with this is that it smacks of treachery.

S TORY H E R E !

What is even worse is that when Major Garrett, a CBS  White House correspondent, questioned the president on this matter, he was attacked not only by  O,  but by most of his colleagues at the “news” conference. They accused Garrett of “disrespect” and “embarrassing the president”.  But he was simply seeking a truthful answer— apparently such a rarity in that venue that the rest of the sycophantic Hive was either ignorant, nescient or just stupid.

Or could they be conscious conspirators  in bamboozling the American people ?

 Heaven Forfend !

It is obvious that the total “FIX” is in as far as any responsibility for spreading truthful reports of national importance is concerned by most of the Pinko pre-arranged “press”.

Certainly this is more than a twice told tale, coming from this blog, and maybe it could draw a submissive sigh from one who prefers noncombatant status.

But there are many among us enraged by this tableau of ugliness and deceit.  As a real  fact in life, it scares us to the marrow of our bones— just as does  the slaughter of five servicemen by a Muslim Terrorist   ---all disarmed by the Congress and the Pentagon in “Gun-Free Zones”.

No connection ?   Think again. The Blanket of Megiddo  is  immeasurable.

NOT "Mimi" but "ME!-ME !"

First of all, we DO realize that our status as walking, talking, composing and ghostly fossil precludes our having expertise on this matter, generally.

But we do have some experience in the workplace, having occupied same for nearly 60 years of our life.

The subject is the fact that more than 60% of "millennial's" (actually workers between 18 and 25) surveyed by competent opinion professionals, stoutly declare they would quit their jobs if their employer restricted or banned their use of  texting  or mobile phone use and access to Twitter and Facebook during working hours.

Is that THEFT or BLACKMAIL ? Or both ?

You can read the whole story from Philadelphia's favorite television news outlet  H E R E !

This should not be the shocking surprise that it is to many of us. It has been noted before by many educators, therapists and  voyeurs of the millennial scene that these young people are really tans-solipsists, if not indeed, children of Onan.

It is agreeably poignant to remember when we scrawled steamy love notes and passed them to our beloved Juliet five seats away in the classroom. Even now it is powerful and captivating for some of us to remember those days and those notes.  

But the parents of these youths who choose sexting and gossip to work necessary to feed their faces ...these parents are similarly addicted, fading themselves into hardwired self -massage. so, what should  we expect ?

Well it's not too difficult to imagine lower productivity and a lot of anger and displacement of allegiance. On the other hand it might not be amiss to wager that some wilted and malleable psychologist or sociologist will pronounce the use of mobile devices conducive to facile and syrupy  labor environments.  Stupidity and sloth always seem to find  their professional enablers.

 Everyone gets a little bit irritated when a cell phone ring tone interrupts a serious discussion of  Jordan Spieth's  golf swing, or a dialogue on which spices should be exploited in Pasta la Bolognese !

But shouldn't we draw the line when Facebook and Twitter undermined the gross national product-- which includes Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and Linkedin ?

Or should we just relax, go soporific and pretend about  the UN-Brave, UN-New, UN- World ?

Non-Islam Terror in US is Main Threat ???

The increasingly strident and panic stricken chief magistrate of the United States in the ninth inning of his legacy-building, declared early this week  that bloodthirsty Muslim terrorists are no more a problem here than some unnamed homegrown variety. 

Read and See Video HERE !

One wonders who Obama has in mind here. It is particularly peculiar that he made this weird statement  while presiding over an ISIS strategy confab at the Pentagon. So far his strategy against the beheaders of innocent children has been notoriously limp and limited to sporadic pinpoint bombings.

Pondering the possible suspected All American terrorists we came up with Bubba Watson,the handsome young golfer from North Florida and the University of Georgia who once owned  the "General  Lee" drag racing car emblazoned with the Confederate battle flag on the TV  hit, show "Dukes of Hazzard". 

Or  maybe, he has his crosshairs on the daring  health professional at the  Centers for Disease Control who rated 
him : ." The worst president in our history"... "An amateur"... "A Marxist..."

MEET THIS BRAVE MAN HERE !

You may be sure that if pressed,  he would  NOT mention  either of the "undocumented visitors" who recently committed mayhem and murder respectively, after having been deported as illegal "entrants" five and six times.

We can see the sycophantic underground inbred of the  "Homeland  Scourge-ity" racing to make an example of which ever  Cape Hatteras shark has bitten the most bathers !

But there will absolutely be no fuss or bother "profiling" any Arabic speaking among us. You can bet your entire whatever on that !

The Third Box

America's greatest strength sometimes lies in its deepest secrets.

For instance, an organization of black ministers and centrist conservatives in Washington DC is one of the strongest and most influential activist think-tanks AGAINST  gun "control".

CURE  was organized by the eloquent and brainy Ms. Star Parker, who loves to quote the great ex-slave writer-orator Frederick Douglass:

"There are three boxes that guarantee ALL Americans their liberty...the ballot box, the jury box, and ammunition box !"

Parker and others in the video clip you find H E R E describe how the National Rifle Association (NRA) was established as a proof against the abuse and exploitation of freed blacks and for their protection.

My suspicion is that this is just one more TRUTH that the White House and its slavering toadies in the media would much rather not know. 

But sooner or later, a huge majority of Americans of all races and colors and former allegiances will have the scales lifted from their vision. If you hope for this epiphany and wish to hasten it, you might send the information herein to someone you respect. 

Some messages are more equal than others !

Age of Solipsis

Wednesday, June 24, 2015 was what you might call "a bristling day".

My favorite website ( because it always appears to be evenhanded and impartial) featured a thoughtful summation of  outright falsification of fact by the White House as regards the involvement of MIT professor Gruber as architect of Obamacare. CLICK HERE

In another quarter, one of our nation's more fearless truth tellers, Col. Ralph Peters, offered his opinion that our "leaders"whom we here prefer to call  "our servants" until they prove some maturity and accountability, all have one characteristic so far in the 21st century.

When asked to support, in some way, one of their pompous, clueless pronouncements, they uniformly reply with that nastiest of fledgling parenthood's syllogisms:

"BECAUSE I SAID SO !"

As we have pointed out here in this small corner of comment, we are at the mercy of a "coterie-of-absurdity" who absolutely believe that if they SAY something, it replaces all Holy Writ and constitutional tradition. 

This is called Institutional Solipsism, and it will become the death knell of  what we used to call, with no embarrassment at all, The American Dream.

We're drowning in a philosophy of  "political correctness" that has no historical precedent or legitimacy. PeeCee  is the source of the bastardized dictum that "before me, nothing existed !"

Very  few  people seem to be attending very closely, but the fact is that the Iranian  Parliament uniformly cries "Death to America"  and Vladmir Putin  is flying and floating his war machinery closer and closer to U.S. weakness, and the ChiComs follow his lead.

But the White House and the doofus State Department are hell-bent on accommodating Iran and its nuke bomb building and so far, nobody admits seeing  ungloved bare knuckles of the collectivist aggression.

Apparently, traditional, sensible Americans are now without influence. The blind liars and solipsists  are "in charge".

And a murmur swells into a havoc cry:  

"Apres moi,Le CHAOS..."

Whose Grasp ?

If you have NOT heard about her, lets talk about the Sacramento California teacher who is standing firm in her intent to remove works by William Shakespeare from her English literature curriculum... There are some very subversive tendencies in this particular teacher.

Her job is not to be sure that everybody passes with a ladylike or gentlemanly "C". Her  job is to use her common sense to make the material exciting and inviting to young minds.

Just a few miles awayfrom this Dullard, another woman engages her students in the Bard's  pre-drama preparation for Romeo and Juliet and points out that what they first see as unlikely behavior and words, by the Motagues and Capulets is actually a part of  their family lives and their hallway romances.  Then, HER students tried to outdo one another in presenting the drama of the teenage lovers.

The worst thing about this .Liddite Shakespeare-Denier is that she uses the color of her students' skin as an excuse for her mental laziness and invocation of the soft bigotry of low expectations that is so lethally common in our schools today. She would be shocked to learn that Shakespeare is required in South Africa and Liberia as well as Germany in preparatory schools.

Then of course, we cannot excuse her ignorance of  that magisterial proclamation by another towering English language artist:

By now, you have heard anout the criminally idiotic teacher in Sacramento's Burbank high school who refuses to teach William Shakespeare to her English class students because they are mostly "nonwhite" and because they "do not relate" and because she fears that they will fail, and it will bend  or twist or dampened their little psyches.

If you haven't met this lady, let me introduce you to her HERE !

There are many things faulty about the thinking of the 21st century's anemic "educationists" who have no knowledge outside of their improvised teaching college's  bogus cur

"As in a Storm, Darkly..."

Is it all right, today, to wonder what would happen if a "celebrity" clasped-to-bosom the ancient verity of the Mosaic Ten Commandments ?  What if a nonsectarian servant of the people of America called upon us all to return to the Platonic / Aristotelian Four Virtues: Courage, Prudence, Moderation and Justice ?

There is a distinct possibility that both the celebrity and the philosopher would be drummed out of relevancy in today's Zeitgeist.

The phalanx of 2015  "culture" that shouts for diversity and political correctness would find these two rabble-rousers to be (1) racist, (2) sexiest, (3) guilty of hate-speech and hate-crimes,and(4) clear and present danger to the precious sibteen "children of America".

And, going a bit farther, what bulk percentage of American citizens have even heard of--- or been schooled in--- the concept of "irtue" ?

Here the suggestion is offered that any effort by anyone to refocus society's attention on the failing moral exemplars is generally ---nay, DAILY---met with threats, scorn and blanket incendiarism by lockstepping zombies of the Ganja-Soaked  NEWTHINK>

A feisty, principled interrogator, one John Nance, has just asked "Where is the Shining City on a HILL" ???    GO HERE !

Indeed, this appellation for America made famous by Ronald Reagan is rarely sung by the choirs of truth and justice these days.

There are high schoolers who do not even know ( or care???) whom Ronald Reagan was.  Well, actually, it's fair to say that their malignant tutors have made sure that they probably have not heard of the Soviet Union OR the Cold War, for that matter.

"Wait a minute!!!" you say. "You can't be sure of that !!!"

Oh yes. anyone can be "sure of that".  Check it out with some 18-year-old voters and others less than that age.

You will be SHIOCKED .  Or, maybe not.....

At any rate, if you stir up the dull, stagnant, unquestioning minds, you, too  can become a hate-criminal, a hate-speaker... A Pariah !!!

Baltimore Burns...YOU Pay !!!

Either in the very small print, or not at all, your daily fish wrapper might have reported that the first installment of the Baltimore riiot20 things that damage cost is coming due.

It's $20 million.

That's a hefty beginning, announced by the mayor who tweeted about visiting the businesses she "set aside" for the rioters to destroy.

The fact that the first installment of the arson and pillage tab is 20 HUGE ones is not the "dog-bites-man" news.

The news  is, she is going to send  "the bill" to FEMA !

That's right. Your tax money in the Federal  Emergency  Management Administration will pay for the damage the thugs did to the area chosen for "impact" by the witless Mayor.

DETAILS HERE

Of course, this is just the beginning. In the People's State of Baltimore,, the land of Michalski and O'Malley, accountability is like PeeCee excrement.  Everybody is looking for the clean extension whereby to take hold. Ergo, no one does.

This is the way the vessel Maryland "works" and Baltimore is its over-weighted-keel that will soon take it under.


As Ozymandias said in the poem, "look around you and BEWARE".

You already paying for chaos. More will follow !

Either Way

I see where the supreme leader of the Left-Liberal  Zeitgeist is again complaining that Fox News is biased.


AND... both the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Elections Commission are slavering in anticipation of rubbing out Matt Drudge's web site, the Drudge Report.


Let me suggest the truth, though it IS incendiary in these creepy, shady, obfuscative  times.




When Roger Ailes first started Fox News, an outcry went out that  the new cable network was "slanted". And when Matt Drudge was the ONLY journalist to delineate the origin of that stain on Monica Lewinsky's blue dress, Drudge was slammed and ranted-at by ALL the old  non-Internet media.


What they were yowling about, REALLY, was that Drudge and Fox News were reporting the TRUTH about things that the
paleolithic  media were HIDING and censoring at the editors desk.


Drudge is just an "aggregator".  He links to every news source and shade of  opinion column in the whole world. THAT is why he gets millions of hits in an hour and billions in a year. You can get Xinhua or the Guardian, or socialist apologist E.I. Dionne or center-right Peggy Noonan by clicking on  the Drudge Report.




Similarly, Fox News has THREE TIMES as many viewers  all day, as CNN and CNN is fading fast. MSNBC limps along, also losing 10% audience annually.


So, once and for all...the success of Fox News  and Matt Drudge is because they both cover ALL the news  possible while the left wing mainstream media still tries to censor and twist both content and emphasis.


It;'s no "secret" any longer. Bad reporters just hate it when someone pulls down their knickers.

History Assasins--Tradition Haters

Arithmetic in the first grade used to be taught with “examples” like 1+1=2. This was not long ago, but it is considered Olden Times now.

In 2015, using Common Core, first graders learn first thing “How to Make ‘TENS’. 

 It was just a few years ago that youngsters in my old hometown were physically chastised by their elders for putting out streetlights with stones.

Today, in 2015, in a large American city, an elected mayor designated a portion of her domain for looters and arsonists to work their magic while the mayor ordered her police department to “stand down” rather than arrest the criminals.

Heavy thinkers have traditionally concerned themselves with the safety of the powerless minorities among us and rightly so.

But, when more than 300 Christian Yadziks were slaughtered May 1, 2005 by international gangsters naming themselves “The Islamic State” we didn’t hear a peep from the professional hand-wingers and problem solvers.

Are you getting the picture? All the old verities are crippled and irrelevant to the purveyors of information and weighers of its import.

You don’t get to decide anymore what’s best for your offspring, what’s best for your community.

A coterie of conspirators are tacitly deciding as I write this, what they must do to keep bloody lawless inhuman and amoral entities from becoming “offended” — and summarily slitting the throats of all the politically correct.

That’s right. In the camouflage  of niceness, they opt for craven, gutless fear. Of  what ?

The more our political servants palaver about a gentler, kinder life for all mankind, the more we see them divorce their minds from reality.  Some of them even adopt a religion that holds humanity responsible for too much CO2, which has , in fact, boosted plant growth on earth to outpace loss of rainforest.

The worst sins of the utopian morons is the social engineering that has corrupted the neediest among us and convinced many that turning their backs on individual accountability and responsibility can result in a “one-size-fits-all” Halcyon Heaven.

But it’s just as bad an as proven dreamsust as old anarchist Joe Hill’s “PIE IN THE SKY”.

It’s a LIE.

No matter how hard you squeeze, or stretch, some people are going to be Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet, Jeff Bezos; and some people are going to be Joe-the-Plumber and some are going to be "CandyMan" Freddie Gray, the dope peddler. Some will become Michael Jacksons and some will become the raging "Gentle Giant" Michael Brown.

Some will become famous like the one-eyed Jewish African American Sammy Davis Jr, because of many shining talents and struggling, and some from the same 'Hood will die incarcerated.

No one knows History any longer nowadays, and I get the feeling it is suppressed by these powerful arbiters of correctness because History  nullifies even the least of their fantasies; and will distill their puny poisonous  whirlwinds into common flatulence.

An individual’s span of time alive is brief. But it seems that men and women with a compass given them by parents, family, learned communities and principled sources of  information have struggled and survived to enrich the lives of untold numbers of humankind with indomitable and irresistible TRADITION. So far these believers in the tried-and-true spiritual survival techniques have stoutly held eternal evil at bay.

They have even been able to salvage their children’s lives by plucking them from the society of lawless naysayers and occasionally, slapping them upside the head !

And this is why we are still marginally civilized . But for how long ?

Falsehood Fatigue

(Here is an email I sent to my son, KP and another cpnfidante on .my long- deceased Mother's birthday. Keith said I should "blog" it. So, here it is !)

What bothers me is not that a candidate for president flat-out LIED to a group of kidnapped Iowans, telling them that all four of her grandparents were foreign immigrants.

 

What bothers me is that only one young reporter had the time and/or the guts to worry his way through seven decades of census information to establish that she was lying and that three of her grandparents originated in the Savage Wilderne of Pennsylvania.

 

And the further outpouring of "bit-Dog"  screaming that it was (1)  "no big deal, (2) sexist, (3) "cherry-picking" and (3) partisan hyperbole.

 

This is proof that I have outlived my niche and that there is no right or wrong, no standard to separate miscreants from well-meaning idiots and that every cogitation, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, algebraic equation and every calculus "DEPENDS"  on some irrational or nebulous (usually secret) dynamic.

 

I just can't stand it anymore.  Anyone and everyone who thinks this sort of excremental mind-warp  is acceptable

just doesn't fit into a logical and contemplative live community.

 

Yet almost all of our information is processed by these vacuous mischievous evil demons.

 

It is hellish to be "old-fashioned" and irrelevant in this age of relativism and decay.

Dumbing, Numbing Denial

The most dastardly and cunning enemy of the children and the next generation  of American citizens is the adult population-- or at leastthat portion who cannot learn from experience.

There are a lot of them and many are in powerful positions: TV anchors, "journalists", columnists, police and security authorities and elected representatives and executives.

Maybe even some preachers  and teachers are guilty. Good parents struggle against the PeeCee tide, which baptizes whole hunks of miscreants as never-to-be-maligned fellows.

When the two cross-dressers rammed the NSA gate Monday, the first dispatch quoted "federal officers" saying that  "this is definitely not a terrorist attack". 

They always say that the first thing, but if I were reporting it in the way I was taught a half century ago, the first thing I would make clear in my "lede" is that they weren't wearing burkas... or that they WERE v wearing burkas.

Political correctness has no place in law enforcement. No one cares about "hurting feelings" when slaughter is afoot or threatened.  So why pretend ?   Why Lie ?

Besides, a person's "feelings" can't be hurt without the person's participation in the process.

You can check this out, probably on YouTube video:

When the second plane was visible heading to the second World Trade Center tower, the ABC television anchor announced that he could allay all fears and announce that "this is NOT a terrorist attack".

That's been a decade and a half ago, and all the reporters, columnists, producers and headline writers have hardened it into a lockstep drill.  It's always "workplace enmity"  when an urban Muslim convert guns down a pizzeria full of innocents.

And the "tenor" of American harmony is very close to lady Astor's amiability in suffering the lower castes "to behave anyway they wish as long as they doo not frighten the horses..."

What is wrong with saying: "No one KNOWS if this is terrorism or not, but the attackers were  identified as______."

It's as if we were so AFRAID of fanatic Muslim assassins that we  kiss their backsides and pretend that they just came from a Pink Shirley Temple Birthday party and we must  TALK and REASON with them....

OH !  Wait !  Hold it right there....

What in the WORLD ???!!!

This will be brief.

Early this Sunday morning (about 6 a.m. EDT)  my sleep-fogged brain was jolted into activity by an international wire report that Iran's Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Kameini spent a lot of time ranting "Death to America" in his most recent pronouncement aimed at the worldwide audience.

Now, there is nothing new about that...Except....

In a flash- exclusive- red-hot article nearby on the same aggregate site page was this story:

John Kerry, US Secretary of State says lifting of sanctions so as to allow Iran nuclear capability is near accomplishment with "just a few snags" remaining.

As arrogant and self-absorbed as this writer confesses to having been at times, this double jolt of newly minted 2015 Through-the-Looking-Glass   acting-out melted all available circuits, dissiolved some neurons and closed many synapses.

Is this a "function" of sending a Doofus Loser to do heavy lifting ?

Is this the result of Bibi Natanyahu's dazzling victory over Obama at home and abroad ?

Is this the way this opaque, Byzantine truthless White House planned its verbal assault on the citizenry?

In nearly 90 years, this reporter has never seen or heard of such wild and crazy disconnect.

One thing is certain. The United States of America will be a long time recovering from these adolescent shuck and jive gotcha games.

A quick look at history will illuminate what the harvest of institutional anti-Semitism is. I never thought my country would have to learn the lesson that humbled Rome in the dawn and all of Europe in our lifetime.

What do you think?

What ? Me Worry ?

We are subject to all manner of Age-ist criticism just for hanging around too long  and remembering stuff.  It makes some people uncomfortable when they cannot safely invent a new "reality" you know.

But they cannot heap "ADD"  criticism on someone who checks out all the main line media outlets  and about a Baker's dozen blogs at least twice a day and sometimes at midnight.

For instance, late Monday night Breitbart News broke the story that the White House  "admitted" the president exchanged emails with his secretary of state Hillary Clinton while she served.

But it was over the weekend that the president, harassed about Hillary Clinton's private email shenanigans,  he was quoted as saying that he first learned Ms. Clinton used a non-government email account in a recent New York Times report.

Now, tell me... Is it unfair to say that there is a falsehood lurking in there somewhere ?

And then there is the conception exception.

While in Selma, Alabama, the president regaled a slavering coterie of green as well as seasonrd reporters and columnists with the revelation that the Selma March was "the Inspiration for"  his conception and birth.

But his arithmetic leaves a great dealto be desired.

The famous Selma March was in 1965.  The president, according to the only records extant, was born four years earlier  in 1961 !

Surely, we Ancients are not the only ones who pay attention and consequently get repeatedly Zotted and outraged by these Blivets.

We hereby declare we are paying attention. But we also declare that we cannot decipher the code.  Is this a matter of over excited neediness for understanding?.... Or is it pathological Bullspitting ?

And how much more of this  will you suffer before you start worrying a little bit?

Deadliest Enemy of the Free

"They fight by shuffling papers.

 "Have bright, dead, alien eyes.

 "They look at our labor and laughter

 "As a Tired Man looks at flies..."

THAT is how Gilbert Keith Chesterton sculpted Bureaucrats and their  barren souls.

We reiterate the great man's good words to illumine the actions of the Federal Communicatuons Commission's recent actions, allegedly in quest of "net neutrality" on the Internet.

Of course, any "critic" of the FCC power grab is on thin ice indeed, because the commision has refused, so far, to RELEASE THE NEW RULES !

Doubtless, they fear the PEOPLE.

They know they have overreached and they know a court challenge will be swiftly mounted . The Commission members who favored the grab for the Internet (they "won" 3-2) may even realize they cannot be successful, in the end-game.

Why then would they propose and follow such a reach ?  Because they CAN . That is the nature of the dedicated Bureaucrat .

That they do so with the conspiratorial subversive aid of the president and his administration and party is just natural.  Stacking the deck hand in hand with con men and satisfyig hustlers' lust  and hucksters' designs  is how Bureaucrats stay in power.and increase their maligninty.

Do you remember when we reported here on the frightening visit of two nSecret Service agents to a Texas lady to shake her up after she had rebuked a cell phone robocaller  for a Democrat political campaign ? They called her to recruit her.  The SS agents accused her of  making a "Death Threat",  when actually she had spoken of opposing abortion to her unwelcome caller.

When the victim asked for identification, I remember the female SS agent smirked: "You ain't gettin none of MY card !"

My point here is they MAY be partisan, they MAY be unAmerican, they MAY be intent onb overthrowing order in any way thay can.

But the most fearsome and dangerous description that "sticks"  is  Government Bureaucrat.

Check out Chesterton's descrition in our first paragraph. It is chilling.

And  true !

Will PC Destroy ISIS ?

Marie Harf,  a spokeswoman for Secretary of  State John Kerry seems to have created some entertainment among even the Lie-stained wretches of the downstream media by suggesting that the only way to defeat the ISIS Caliphate-bound terrorists is to provide a comfortable entitlement environment like the one her boss loves and sustains.

She told Chris Matthews on MSNBC that we cannot kill our way past the terrorists. She said poverty, inequality, deprivation and  ignorance force these people into I S I S, Al Qaeda and Boko Harum !

(Well,  one out of four gives her a score of  25/100. That is "F" for fail, is it not ?

If this were not such a tragic and expensive lie ( to herself as well as to us), it would be grist for standup comedy.

But she was serious and when she was challenged she doubled down and suggested again it's a waste of time to fight terrorism with anything other than jobs, comfort and alms.

I'm glad that I know George Washington hanged a traitorr-terrorist-spy,  Major Andre , instead of feeding him or bedding him down !

I suggest that La Harf is just another poster girl for the corrupt, untruthful  wussification of Ameruica. She makes Madeline Albright look like  Chancellor Merkel !

We are in a cauldron of lies  and all the history and legacy of  American gallantry is being  reduced to ash and blown away by the convulsive hiccups of  traitors who lie in plain sight.

One's mind reels, watching the truckling and bowing to Iran's Ayotolla Kahmeini.

Would Spruance, Halsey and Nimintz have asked Hirohito's permissio to visit Iwo Jima and Okinawa ?

Would Ike and Patton have asked Rommel if June 6, '44 fit in his schedule ?  

And how about killing Jews?  Is it now allowable as long as  the beheaders just "do a few" and not six million ?

Just watch.  We have stark evidence that in the past,  these kinds of people pretend, in the face of incinerating  cinematic evidence, that they never lied, or ate the excrement of tyrants.

But when none of us  is "bothered" by the Marie Harfs--vipers at our bosom--we are  dozing out of the Cauldron of  Lies and into another Holocaust.

Or Armageddon.

Barry Soetoro Speaks

Certainly that was not our community disorganizer -in-chief  at the national prayer breakfast , equating thousand year old Crusader myths with the burning alive of a Jordanian pilot by Stone Age barbarians this week .

As a matter of fact, the performance and the attitude were so obviously juvenile and sophomoric that one knew that  this was the personna of little Barry Soetoro from that Muslim elementary school in Jakarta Indonesia, circa 1970 .

No distinguished graduate of Columbia and Harvard could possibly come up with such a far-fetched “equivalency”in  behavior of Stone Age throwbacks in 2015 with acts of raucous “true believers” on the cusp of the first millennium.

The issue is:  the words of a brainwashed follower of dictums laid down by a relentlessly haunted illiterate in the seventh century who recruited his fellow desert Arabs away from their belief in the magic of whirlwinds, toward a blueprint of savage slaughter of everyone and anyone who denied the religion of Subnmission (Isl;am).

The man at the prayer breakfast is probably the only man in the United States who really believes that there is no connection between Islam / Muslim Qu’ranic authority and the plague of terrorism by Al Qaeda, the Islamic State and Bojo Haram that threatens the future of what we had heretofore called “civilization” on the planet Earth .

It is not remarkable ,and not a fit subject for applause when a man tries to appease a consolidation of feral evil which  has promised to cut his head off..

But although this adolescent mind can confuse itself with tales of crusaders and witches, it cannot comprehend the stark  silliness of Neville Chamberlain and his followers among the America-Firsters in this country who believed Hitler could be “loved” into goodness and mercy.

And speaking of mercy, do you  foresee this generation needing it in abundance if nothing changes in the next two years ? 

              

Bill Allen

Big Obama Boo-Boo

I will step out from behind the editorial plural, usual in  this blog and use the perpendicular pronoun for a brief composition.

 I am older than dirt. I have not lost any appreciable memory of any history that I have seen--- although Herodotus and Gibbon still clasp some secrets from me, I am sure.

When the presidentof the United States on Tuesday night,  taunted and challenged the Congress  to pass legislation requiring that women be paid the same amount that men are paid for doing the same job,  I was jolted by a big Brain Zot ! 

"Dern!!! " I said to myself. "I wudda  SWORN  Jack Kennedy proposed that legislation when he was president... And I cain't be wrong when I remember it passed !"

Well, he did and it did  And the present occupant of the White House and /  or his staff are just ignorant, or maybe imbecilic.

This morning, the great people at American Thinker came up with the whole cloth of facts. You can see them HERE !

Let me know at Bba76@aol.con  if you hear this reported on CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, or in your daily fish wrapper.

The law was passed and signed by JFK in June 1963. That was prior to the sowing of the seeds which are now well rooted in academia and in the communication behemoths, said rooted evil choking and stunting a nation founded on individual liberty and now devoted to the corruption of every lonely illiterate soul into lockstep slavery by people who do not know what others have dared to accomplish.

I believe we are seeing in the United States, a complete triumph of the two big "Esses" !

Arrogant Solipsism and a snowstorm of battling more of the in Solecisms.

A good start toward repair would be more incisive vetting of the candidates in the presidential election next year.

The alphabet television networks and your local Adsheets will not do this. It's up to people like those at the American Thinker and other news commentary websites to dig mercilessly into every resume'. and of course, more of us need to pay attention and not vote the straight PeeCee diversity ticket. 

Scandal of Vacant Brains

At the Depot, our view of the educational system in the United States has usually been restricted to elementary and high school aridity and a worthless application of every piece of PeeCee  poppycock to the defenseless pupils' anesthesis.

As we all well know, academia does not entertain as one of its strong points  the rigor of self- criticism.

But now, a disinterested Vanguard has done some testing on more than 30,000 college graduates from coast-to-coast in the United States, to find out just how prepared for "White Collar" employment in today's job market a "graduate" really is.

The answer is horrific. More than four out of 10 receiving bachelor degrees cannot cope with the simplest requirements of modern day creativity and business leadership.

You can read and evaluate the exhaustive study HERE !

This should be  painfully embarrassing to academia, but peopled as it is with failed hippy culture and massive marijuana burnout of the brains responsible for these young college people, we should not be too surprised. 

After all, just this week at Duke University, a schedule of calls to prayer by an Imam of Islam from the storied tower there was announced by the University administration in
 Durham....Only to be reversed, retracted and ( they hope)  forgotten in the wake of cease-and-dsist shouts from  University trustees and perpetual donors.

One could view this as the beginning of a cleanup campaign in American education. 

But a close lookat those who are doing the "educating" would not encourage that hope.

The saddest deduction, which is to say, the strongest evidence at hand, would lead any fair-minded person with common sense to say we should attack the superfluity of idiots "instructing" in the colleges while the professors publish papers and make speeches, rather than increase the number of  high schoolers to be victimized by these poseurs.

This is more important than almost anything facing our servants in the legislative and executive branches of government. 

Well, that is the opinion here today, for what it's worth.

The Little Man

I saw him standing on the stair:
The Little Man Who Wasn't There !
He wasn't there again today !
I wish to Hell he'd go away !!

Obama's absence from the march of two million world citizens against slaughter-bent Islamic Jihadists was....What ?

Embarrassing ? Revolting ? Cowardly ?  Craven ? Unforgivable ? Despicable ? Maybe.

But his refusal to join the  Jew Bibi Netanyahu and "Palestinian" Mahmoud Abbas, who locked arms in pease and promise with 38 world eminences such as Merkel, Cameron and Hollande was something else.

It was revealing.  

Even Obama's most jubilant supporter cannot deny, now that  everything has changed for him. 

And he can never go back to claim he is a "protector"  (as his Oath reqires him to be)  of the American Constitution and the American people. 

We no longer need a Birth Certificate. The Emperor is no longer just without clothes.

He is without Honor and his very Soul is soiled.

Let those who dismiss this iniquity be en garde so to speak. 

Blindness in the presence of such incandescent venality could be fatal to the strongest Spirit.
