Everyone loves a winner

mad-election-cover-1960

I remember seeing the cover for the first time there on the newsstand and wondering how they had got it right, even before the election was over. And while you cannot tell from the picture, half the magazine was printed with Kennedy at the start and the other half with Nixon, with the print suddenly turning upside down when you got to the staples in the middle. “We were with you all the way, Jack’. So let me give you the relevant passage from Henry V:

From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

At that level, there are no friends (or enemies), only associates. You know the joke, if you want a friend in Washington, buy a dog. It was reading Trump’s twitter feed that made me think of the Henry V passage and the Mad cover.

“Very nice!” must be the Trump equivalent of GFYS. But he will not shun their company nor their presence from this time forward. That is not how politics works. If you have power to share and a hand to lend in getting things done, all is forgiven and forgotten (for the moment). But the reality is that Trump will never trust any of them ever again. If you weren’t there on St Crispin’s Day, how much can you be trusted when the tide begins to turn, as in politics it eventually must?

The FBI’s not wanted list took Hillary down

She’s half right: Hillary Clinton Blames F.B.I. Director for Election Loss. The other half being that Comey was directed at each step of the way by Obama who wanted to have enough pretext to indict her and have Tim Kaine become president. It was the unexpected outcome of the on-again off-again investigation where the final attempt to rescind the possibility of prosecution came too late and may have anyway already have caused the fatal outcome, fatal for Hillary that is.`

Mrs. Clinton said a second letter from Mr. Comey, clearing her once again, which came two days before Election Day, had been even more damaging. In that letter, Mr. Comey said an examination of a new trove of emails, which had been found on the computer of Anthony D. Weiner, the estranged husband of one of her top aides, had not caused him to change his earlier conclusion that Mrs. Clinton should face no charges over her handling of classified information.

Her campaign said the seemingly positive outcome had only hurt it with voters who did not trust Mrs. Clinton and were receptive to Mr. Trump’s claims of a “rigged system.” In particular, white suburban women who had been on the fence were reminded of the email imbroglio and broke decidedly in Mr. Trump’s favor, aides said.

After leading in polls in many battleground states, Mrs. Clinton told the donors on Saturday, “we dropped, and we had to keep really pushing to regain our advantage, which going into last weekend we had.”

“We were once again up in all but two of the battleground states, and we were up considerably in some that we ended up losing,” Mrs. Clinton said. “And we were feeling like we had to put it back together.”

I wonder if she understands what was going on. It’s possible, but no one can say it so we will never know, unless she puts her suspicions into an email.

Michael Moore’s idiot’s agenda

The left is filled with malice against everyone, both on their own side and on the other, where a couple of days ago everything was perfectly lined up. Michael Moore, a perfect representation of the Left and what it stands for, has it figured out. This is his Morning After To-Do List which is followed below by his Day Two list. I am not sure there is anything in either that actually mentions an action that might be taken to improve anyone’s lives, except the very last one, and that is related to Flint Michigan which has had the named problem during all the years of the Obama administration. Why doesn’t he look for change that would improve something, anything? Because he and the rest of them are too stupid and this would require actual thought. But more important, because their only interest is in power and wealth for themselves. He and the Clintons are two of a kind, in politics for what it will bring to them. Trump, on the other hand, already has wealth and power and is in it largely because he wishes to improve the lives of others. His own life is now infinitely more restricted than it had previously been. For all the power he will now have, it will come at a cost to his own ability to lead a life on his own away from others. Anyway, here are the first of Moore’s two lists of things to do.

1. Take over the Democratic Party and return it to the people. They have failed us miserably.

2. Fire all pundits, predictors, pollsters and anyone else in the media who had a narrative they wouldn’t let go of and refused to listen to or acknowledge what was really going on. Those same bloviators will now tell us we must “heal the divide” and “come together.” They will pull more hooey like that out of their ass in the days to come. Turn them off.

3. Any Democratic member of Congress who didn’t wake up this morning ready to fight, resist and obstruct in the way Republicans did against President Obama every day for eight full years must step out of the way and let those of us who know the score lead the way in stopping the meanness and the madness that’s about to begin.

4. Everyone must stop saying they are “stunned” and “shocked.” What you mean to say is that you were in a bubble and weren’t paying attention to your fellow Americans and their despair. YEARS of being neglected by both parties, the anger and the need for revenge against the system only grew. Along came a TV star they liked whose plan was to destroy both parties and tell them all “You’re fired!”

Trump’s victory is no surprise. He was never a joke. Treating him as one only strengthened him. He is both a creature and a creation of the media and the media will never own that.

5. You must say this sentence to everyone you meet today: “HILLARY CLINTON WON THE POPULAR VOTE!” The MAJORITY of our fellow Americans preferred Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump. Period. Fact. If you woke up this morning thinking you live in an effed-up country, you don’t. The majority of your fellow Americans wanted Hillary, not Trump. The only reason he’s president is because of an arcane, insane, 18th-century idea called the Electoral College. Until we change that, we’ll continue to have presidents we didn’t elect and didn’t want.

You live in a country where a majority of citizens have said they believe there’s climate change, they believe women should be paid the same as men, they want a debt-free college education, they don’t want us invading countries, they want a raise in the minimum wage and they want a single-payer true universal health care system. None of that has changed. We live in a country where the majority agree with the “liberal” position. We just lack the liberal leadership to make that happen (see: #1 above).

Let’s try to get this all done by noon today.

Now there is his Day Two List:

1. Must quickly and decisively form an opposition movement, the likes of which hasn’t been seen since the 1960s. I will do my part to help lead this as I’m sure many others (Bernie, Elizabeth Warren, MoveOn, the hip-hop community, DFA, etc.) will, too. The core of this opposition force will be fueled by young people who, as with Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter, don’t tolerate b.s. and are relentless in their resistance to authority. They have no interest in compromising with racists and misogynists.

2. Prepare to impeach Trump. Just as the Republicans were already planning to do with President Hillary from Day One, we must organize the apparatus that will bring charges against him when he violates his oath and breaks the law — and then we must remove him from office.

3. Must commit right now to a vigorous fight (including civil disobedience, if necessary) which will block any and all Donald Trump Supreme Court nominees who do not meet our approval. We demand the Democrats in the Senate aggressively filibuster any nominees who support Citizens United or who oppose the rights of women, immigrants and the poor. This is non-negotiable.

4. Demand the DNC apologize to Bernie Sanders for trying to fix the primaries against him, for spinning the press to ignore his historic campaign, for giving Clinton the questions in advance at the Flint debate, for its latent ageism and anti-Semism in trying to turn voters against him because of his age or religious beliefs, and for its anti-democracy system of “superdelegates” who are elected by no one. We all know now had Bernie been given a fair shot, he probably would have been the nominee and he — as the true outsider and “change” candidate –would have inspired and fired up the base and soundly defeated Donald Trump. If no apology is soon forthcoming from the DNC, that’s ok — when we take over the Democratic Party (see yesterday’s To-Do List, #1), we will issue the apology in person.

5. Demand that President Obama establish a Special Prosecutor to investigate who and what was behind FBI Director James Comey’s illegal interference into the Presidential election 11 days before the vote was held.

6. Begin a national push while it’s fresh in everyone’s mind for a constitutional amendment to fix our broken electoral system: 1. Eliminate the Electoral College — popular vote only. 2. Paper ballots only — no electronic voting. 3. Election Day must be made a holiday for all — or held on a weekend so more people vote. 4. All citizens, regardless of any run-ins with the criminal “justice” system, must have the right to vote. (In swing states like Florida and Virginia, 30-40% of all Black men are prohibited by law from voting.)

7. Convince President Obama to immediately do what he should have done a year ago: Send in the Army Corps of Engineers to Flint to dig up and replace all the poisoned pipes. NOTHING HAS CHANGED; the water in Flint is still unusable.

Will try to get these done by sundown. More To-Do tomorrow…

He should run for president he is so full of ideas. Nothing that would actually benefit anyone, but that is not what the left is about.

Something I completely agree with Hillary about

The story: Hillary Couldn’t Stop Crying, Told Friend She Blames Comey and Obama For Loss. If you start where I do, with Obama’s aim always to make Tim Kaine president, which needed her to win but to then be indicted by the FBI, then you see what was afoot. It was the balancing of both her winning with then being indicted that went astray at the last minute. First Comey clears her, then he re-opens the case which starts an avalanche against her, so he closes the case again with four days to go which turned out to be too late. And behind Comey, there is Obama and his strategists who are manipulating it all so that the result comes out just right. So now listen to Hillary who cannot say exactly what she means but all of it fits the facts perfectly as I see them.

Hillary Clinton “couldn’t stop crying” once she learned of her loss to Donald Trump on Tuesday, best-selling conservative author Ed Klein told Newsmax TV on Wednesday.

“About 6:30 this morning she called an old friend,” he began on “The Steve Malzberg Show” in an interview. “She was crying, inconsolably.

“She couldn’t stop crying.

“Her friend said — her female friend from way, way, back — said that it was even hard to understand what she was saying, she was crying so hard.

“Eventually,” he continued, “her friend said she could make out that she was blaming James Comey, the director of the FBI, for her loss — and this I don’t understand exactly — and the president of the United States for not doing enough.”

Klein said his source then asked further about President Barack Obama.

“She said: ‘Well, she felt, Hillary felt, that the president could have stopped Comey a long time ago, because that’s what [former President] Bill [Clinton] said.”

Yes he could have, and even did, but started it up again when he thought the election was over. One more thing Obama screwed up, but we should be used to that by now. And finally, a president cannot be an emotional wreck the way Hillary is here portrayed. Losing like this is no doubt a major personal catastrophe but this kind of disintegration is very dangerous in an American president.

Ending election fraud must be added to the Trump agenda

Let me say that anyone who says they saw this coming, other than Scott Adams, is kidding themselves. This was utterly unpredictable since it required so much to go right at all the right places. Even the election being in the second Tuesday in November provided that all-important extra week that got Trump over the line. And then there were the Wikileaks, the Weiner-leaks, the actions of the FBI director and the behind-the-scenes manipulations of Obama that allowed it all to come good.

But there is also this. I saw somewhere that the reason Hillary lost was because the polls had her so far ahead and so certain to win that the usual efforts to cast fraudulent ballots was diminished since it seemed so unnecessary. This seems truly plausible. Why bother voting five times when three is enough, you don’t really need that many non-citizens to get to the polls and the dead can be left to rest in peace until the next time their votes are needed.

But then there is this as well: Key battleground states that voted for Donald Trump had turnout suppressed by local laws, experts say. What they mean by “suppressed” is this:

As many as 300,000 Wisconsin voters did not have the required photo ID. With lower than expected turnout, Trump was the first Republican to win the state since Ronald Reagan in 1984.

That is, when those folks who crossed into Wisconsin from out of state went to the polling stations, they were asked to prove who they were and that they had a legitimate right to vote in Wisconsin. With no such ID they could not vote. This may have made all the difference in the world in whether Trump became president rather than Hillary. The voter registration laws and the maintenance of up-to-date electoral lists should be a high priority over the next four years.

The meaning of Donald

I have to say that while I am enjoying all of the reactions from those who have opposed Trump heart and soul and are now desolate, and the revelations of all those Sunshine Conservatives who I had not known had wanted him to win, it does still seem to me that in everything I read there is almost no recognition why he won. And the reason he won was because he is against open borders and for the preservation of our nation states. If you don’t mention The Wall, you still don’t get the point. Let me therefore repeat this again:

The one and only issue is open borders. This belief that anyone can migrate anywhere and it won’t make any difference of any kind is such a stupidity that I have to say that when I hear it I can only think I am dealing with political morons who are incapable of learning any lessons from the fantastic array of social instruction to be seen at every turn.

Europe at this very moment is being invaded and only a minority of these invaders are Syrian refugees with nowhere else to go. The news we get is minimal. Every so often the media is forced to cover some part of it, such as “Cologne”, or “Malmo” or “Charlie Hebdo”, but as rapidly as it is possible to go back to other things, it is dropped and nothing more is said. Were it not for Drudge, I would feel I would not know a thing about what is going on. We have in no sense a free press, and the ridicule that Trump pours on the people who are covering him warms me. It is you, who cannot see through the media attack squads that get me down. No writer for any Murdoch paper in the world – and aside from The Daily Mail, his are the best there are – will ever say a positive word about Trump. There is this migrating evil in the world, and you cannot find it in the news you read. Trump is a phenomenon because he, for very particular reasons, does not depend on the media or outside money to get his message across.

There may be an effort from the usual suspects to divert attention from the absolutely central issue – the identical issue that was at the heart of Brexit – but I do not think Trump will be diverted. He will build his wall, immigration will be controlled and The Australian Model will be applied everywhere, even in Australia.

ANN COULTER ADDITION: Trump Victory Boils Down To “Globalism vs. Nationality”.

Political ecstasy

providence that protects

And He may also be keeping an eye out for the rest of us as well.

There are not many moments like this that come along in a lifetime. We went out tonight to see that brave Canadian climate sceptic, Tim Ball, discussing his costly adventures in climate change. His legal bills are now over a million. It does not come cheap to wrangle with these people, but he seemed pretty content with life as it has unfolded. But he was certainly as thrilled as I am about what a Trump presidency will mean. It also means that the political fights have only just begun.

And this was as improbable a victory as I have ever seen. And the big losers are not just Hillary, the Clintons and the Clinton Foundation. We can also add to the cart the #NeverTrumps, the #OccasionallyTrumps and the Sunshine Conservatives who have revealed themselves. And of course, there is the media. Watching the ABC when I came home was one of those precious experiences that for someone such as myself who almost never watches TV, gave such immense pleasure, as much on the plus side for me as the negatives must have been for them as revealed by the misery on their faces. The same kind of pleasure watching Megyn Kelly as I replayed the afternoon on Fox that I had missed going out.

I might also throw in that perhaps the biggest loser of them all is Obama. He has been a global disaster, but his eight years will be swept, as those of his kind like to say, into the dustbin of history. There will be an ample amount of damage to clean up, some which will never be fixed, but at least come January he will be history and have no successor. I wish I could say we can then all start again, but we can at least start a fairly decent salvaging operation.

So to go back to the quote, either Bismarck was absolutely right or the planets were lined up just exactly right, but who could have predicted any of it. You could see Trump learning on the job and getting the polish together just a bit more each day. He turned his vague aims into a series of specific policy proposals that make profound sense for those of us who pay attention to such things. There were the Wikileaks, Comey’s decision not to prosecute, then the Weiner revelations followed by Comey’s decision to re-open the case, and then finally his reversal. Not to mention Hillary’s disastrous record in politics where her only success was to become possibly the most brazen political liar in history. As for everything else, there was not a single actual success of any kind she could point to that might give anyone the slightest notion that she could handle the office of the Presidency, even if she were healthy, which she clearly is not.

On the negative side, of course, there was some locker-room talk from back in 2005. That was the only issue ever brought up in Hillary’s favour. I never heard another reason to vote for her or against Trump by those who sided with the Democrats, and I did try to find out. How history hinges on such things, in the way that Romney travelling with a dog on the roof of his car might have cost him the presidency in 2012. But that was then; this is now. Hurray for our side, but there now really is a lot to do.

Only a Republican could be this stupid

pres trump pres clinton cartoon

I first posted this in March but I post it here now again because it seems so relevant and because it was downloaded a few times just yesterday.

What we see is a cartoon that makes sense only if you really are in a dilemma about Trump v Clinton, which means you are a Republican who is too stupid to be allowed to vote. No Democrat would ever be in doubt, and Hillary is a liar, crook and dyed in the wool leftist of the most plundering kind. There is literally no facet of Trump v Clinton that ends up on the Hillary side of the ledger. Such Republicans are Democrats at heart, lacking any genuine desire for the preservation of our Western way of life. Worrying about the effect on international trade or the future viability of the Republican Party are such irrelevancies that it only irritates me to have to listen to it.

So let me spell it out. The one and only issue is open borders. This belief that anyone can migrate anywhere and it won’t make any difference of any kind is such a stupidity that I have to say that when I hear it I can only think I am dealing with political morons who are incapable of learning any lessons from the fantastic array of social instruction to be seen at every turn.

Europe at this very moment is being invaded and only a minority of these invaders are Syrian refugees with nowhere else to go. The news we get is minimal. Every so often the media is forced to cover some part of it, such as “Cologne”, or “Malmo” or “Charlie Hebdo”, but as rapidly as it is possible to go back to other things, it is dropped and nothing more is said. Were it not for Drudge, I would feel I would not know a thing about what is going on. We have in no sense a free press, and the ridicule that Trump pours on the people who are covering him warms me. It is you, who cannot see through the media attack squads that get me down. No writer for any Murdoch paper in the world – and aside from The Daily Mail, his are the best there are – will ever say a positive word about Trump. There is this migrating evil in the world, and you cannot find it in the news you read. Trump is a phenomenon because he, for very particular reasons, does not depend on the media or outside money to get his message across.

The progressive internationalism of our present day is being driven by George Soros, a Nazi collaborator and actually much more. Go to the link. What you will find is this:

Human Events’ readers, in an online poll, recently voted billionaire financier George Soros “the single most destructive leftist demagogue in the country.”

Here is the first on the list of ten reasons given, but go on to read the entire article. If you don’t know any of this already, you should ask yourself why that is:

1. Gives billions to left-wing causes: Soros started the Open Society Institute in 1993 as a way to spread his wealth to progressive causes. Using Open Society as a conduit, Soros has given more than $7 billion to a who’s who of left-wing groups. This partial list of recipients of Soros’ money says it all: ACORN, Apollo Alliance, National Council of La Raza, Tides Foundation, Huffington Post,Southern Poverty Law Center, Soujourners, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood, and the National Organization for Women.

The American political system is driven by money and Soros is hardly the only one of his class and wealth who are driving this agenda. The graft and outright thievery of Hillary Clinton is no longer even hidden. She is a tool of the progressive internationalist cause. These people really do want to ruin your way of life, and it is not incidental. This is what they want to do. If you think they are well meaning socialists who want only the best for everyone, you are simply deluded. Billionaire socialists is not how to think of a working class movement. Our Western way of life – our “white privilege” – is being put to the torch and there is hardly a one amongst us who is willing to fight this one out.

But at least there is one, and he has support, and the way things are going there will soon be more. Whether there will be enough and whether it is even still possible to save ourselves, is yet to be determined. But if you cannot see what’s going on, if you really cannot see what is going on, then you will just have to keep your heads in the sand.

And it is here that left and right meet. Let me finish with a quote from Murray Rothbard discussing Ludwig von Mises in a little booklet titled, The Clash of Group Interests. The “consideration” referred to is how individuals continue to examine only their short-term interests and fail to see the long-run as clearly as Mises does.

This consideration becomes still more poignant in the noble and surprising essay, “The Freedom to Move as an International Problem,” newly translated from a 1935 newspaper in Vienna. It is surprising because it presents a remarkably sharp attack on the immigration barriers erected by the United States and the British Dominions. For Mises trenchantly identifies these barriers as creating a ruling class elite, albeit a large one, in which workers in a particular geographical area with a high standard of living, use the State to keep immigrants from lower-wage areas out, thereby freezing the latter into a permanently lower wage. Mises correctly adds that, contrary to the Marxian myth of the international solidarity of the proletariat, it is the unions in the high living standard countries who have lobbied for the immigration restrictions. Mises is hard-hitting on the privileges conferred by immigration barriers: “The oft-referred-to ‘miracle’ of the high wages in the United States and Australia may be explained simply by the policy of trying to prevent a new immigration. For decades people have not dared to discuss these things in Europe.” Mises concludes his essay with an implicit justification of overcrowded Europe making war upon the restrictive countries: “This is a problem of the right of immigration into the largest and most productive lands…. Without the reestablishment of freedom of migration throughout the world, there can be no lasting peace.”

World peace through open borders, and cheaper labour as well. If these ideas weren’t so unbelievably dangerous you would want to laugh at how stupid this is. Soros and Mises, left and right united in trying to end the civilisation of the West.

fuck-it-i-voted-sticker

The difference between Trump and Hillary is so immense you have to be a voting-for-a-living type at the bottom of the income pile, or else a complete idiot. With Trump you are getting everything a conservative ought to want. If you are so dumb and ignorant about what is at stake this time round, then you are as big a fool as anyone who has ever lived. Such dummies on the right, who take their opinions from the New York Times and Washington Post!

Some call it treason

These are the kinds of things you will know only if you put yourself in the way of knowing them. The number of people we associate with who do not even know the existence of Wikileaks never mind their contents is quite astounding. You would not even know it’s possible, never mind that these are the issues they choose to ignore:

John Podesta, Hillary’s campaign chair, who was also a counselor to President Obama at the time, was the recipient of the 2014 email which was released today.

Assange promised his latest batch of leaks would lead to the indictment of Hillary, and it looks like he was not kidding. The email proves Hillary knew and was complicit in the funding and arming of ISIS by our ‘allies’ Saudi Arabia and Qatar!

“the governments of Qatar and Saudi Arabia, which are providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL…” Clinton wrote

wikileaks

The media is yet to report on this, even though Wikileaks has a 10-year history of being 100% accurate in their leaks, never once releasing info that proved to be false.

…Can you guess why?

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that The Saudi’s brag about funding 20% of Hillary’s Presidential campaign, and along with Qatar, are among the largest donors to the CLINTON FOUNDATION.

Is it any mystery now why ISIS has flourished under the Obama/Clinton administration? The United States has created armed and funded the terrorists overthrowing Syria via our Terrorist State allies. When you know this it makes you look at the situation in Syria differently. Perhaps Russia and Iran are the ones fighting ISIS, it stands to reason once you know we are fighting Russia, and at the same time arming ISIS.

Clinton’s campaign and her Clinton Foundation are literally funded by the SAME PEOPLE who are funding ISIS and killing hundreds of thousands of innocents in the Middle East, and now, even here at home.

This is nothing short of TREASON. Hillary must be sent to trial and held accountable for crimes against humanity and Treason against the United States of America.

We know the media will do all in their power to bury this story so it is up to us to use social media to make sure every voter in America knows this before they cast their vote for president on Nov 8th. You know what to do …

There are already more than enough reasons not to vote for Hillary and then to convict. All by way of making Tim Kaine president.
