Welcome back everyone! The previous week’s insanity would prove hard to top, but The Radical Left would make every effort:
1/28 – Against Trump: Three Years Later
A good take on how the Vichy Conservatives are looking these days. Spoiler: it’s not good
2/8 – Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee Loses Her Cool With Acting AG Matthew Whitaker
After all of the crud we’ve had to endure from people like Holder and Strzok when they testified before Congress it’s beautiful watching The Radical Left have it thrown back in their faces. As Ace keeps reminding us, 2019 is the best year ever!
2/8 – The Biggest Threat To Press Freedom Is The Media Itself
This one from Mark Hemingway at The Federalist is way longer than 99% of the links I post, so that should tell you why you don’t need an excerpt and really should read the whole thing.
2/9 – Fake News Media Attack Candace Owens Over Hitler and Nationalism Comments (Video)
Anthony Brian Logan isn’t one of the flashier YouTubers, but he’s worth including in your subscriptions. This is yet another great example of The Radical Left taking a quote insanely out of context.
This is a great read that I just figured out last year myself. I wish I had read something like this 10 years ago – I’d have wasted a lot less time trying to argue with the mentally impaired
One has to admire the creativity of the Fascists who want to abolish the 2nd Amendment
2/11 – Michelle Obama’s Grammys Buzz – A reminder of the mediocrity of Democrat presidential candidates
Unspoken here is the disturbing view into the minds of Leftists – they are less interested in ability to lead or policies than they are in having some Messiah figure to give their lives meaning
2/12 –THE ADL CAN’T STOP FAKING HATE CRIME STATISTICS
And why should they? It’s not like anyone in their target audience bases their world view on facts or reality
2/12 – Politico: GOP Risks Backlash by Targeting AOC, Omar, and Tlaib
How dare Conservatives call out Democrats for their stupidity and bigotry!
2/13 – Kevin McCarthy feeds GOP donors horse manure about 2018 losses — blaming conservatives
This week’s edition of “how you got Trump”
2/14 – KNOWLES: Howard Schultz’s Criticism Of AOC’s ‘Green New Deal’ Reveals His Strategy For Winning
Tossing a bone to F.A. commenter Rich Wheeler, who is a lot more optimistic about Schultz’s chances in 2020 than I am
2/15 – WATCH: AOC’s ‘Green New Deal’ Supporters Asked To Explain How Exactly It’ll Stop Climate Change
I have a bit of a conspiracy theory on this – I wonder if Pelosi let Gulag Barbie drop this crud as a way to let her very publicly make a fool of herself as a “newspaper swat on the nose.”
From the archives, since Valentine’s Day was this week I offer up two of my previous takes on modern dating. Two years ago I wrote about the idiocy of affirmative consent in Maryland Democrats’ Anti-Dating Legislation – Happy Valentines’ Day! And from four years ago, what might to this day be the piece I had the most fun writing, Seeking a Feminist Boyfriend in the DC Bubble. It’s a bit long, but if you want to have fun laughing at feminist stupidity click the link!
Have a great weekend, everybody!

I just walked by Buzzfeed’s office and some horrible monster put these stickers up around the entrance. I hope the FBI investigates this hate crime and catches the perpetrator ASAP. pic.twitter.com/NGaVJGWgZq

Please stop attacking the Green New Deal by using its exact words.

This weeks selection goes out to Andy McCabe who chucked himself and his co-conspirators under the bus. I hope they were all just taking a big swig of Coke when they heard his confession. Carbonation is so much fun when it comes out your nose.
All train songs in California are now hate speech.
To Donald from Schumer
The Green New Deal Before you sign this Contract you best read the Fine Print otherwise your going to be stuck bad deal
I asked one of our frequent liberal posters, in response to a hypothetical he posed, my own “hypothetical” of, what if Trump was proven not to have committed the collusion the left accused him of, restored the economy, provided well-paying jobs for blacks, Hispanics, women and manufacturers, would the left stop opposing everything he attempted and stop trying to impeach him for causes they felt it necessary to invent? Of course, this is NOT a hypothetical… “what if”, it is a description of current events, yet the question would not be addressed. The left CANNOT get over the fact that they lost the gift of Hillary extending Obama’s 8 year reign of failure and they are NEVER going to admit their error of the blind hatred and opposition to Trump.
I thought Rep. Doug Collins was a bit over the top in his remarks, but his point was accurate. Then the Democrats PROVED his point by showing what ignorant asses they are and how they merely play to their butt-hurt audiences. No, Sheila, the WHOLE THING was a joke.
The media seem intent upon destroying themselves. I wonder if their continuation of their false reports even after the reports were shown false and death threats against the REAL victims of the encounter were made public would be considered irresponsible and libelous?
One wonders, if Trump is so obviously and overwhelmingly bad, why does the media feel the need to LIE about Trump at every opportunity? Are they afraid they’ll hurt his feeling with the truth?
I LOVE the “asking questions” part. I’ve found that asking a question about the most basic component of the left’s argument usually sends it into a death spiral. For instance, what makes Trump racist? Or, my recent favorite, “explain HOW and WHEN Trump shut the government down?” What ALWAYS follows is a clip of Trump saying he WOULD own it if HE shut it down; however, Schumer shut it down before Trump could. Then… silence.
I react to that by suggesting abortions should be registered, anyone wanting an abortion should have a background check and there should be a limit of three abortions a year per person. The left HATES the suggestion or ANY restrictions on THEIR rights, real or contrived. The link couldn’t be opened.
The left prefers celebrity over competence. The fact they keep groveling over this Sasquatch face proves their desperation.
Yeah, another one of our resident liberals likes to whip that one out. The first two disqualifies the entire list.
Backlash from whom? The MSM suppresses all evidence of their stupidity and won’t convince anyone not a rabid liberal that this trio of twits has a functioning brain cell between them.
The most significant result is that he exposes the vast void between rational thought and the leftist agenda and how someone even moderately moderate has not chance whatsoever in the Democrat party.
I think Pelosi is very jealous of the attention AOC gets, even if much of it is for a very wrong reason. Pelosi should appreciate that the less time SHE is on camera, the better off SHE is.
@kitt: Gotta love an attempted coup by our intelligence agencies! And for some reason our Lefty friends why we don’t share their blind faith in government
@Spurwing Plover: Amazingly, it’s an even worse idea than the original – no easy task!
@Deplorable Me: Though I did get a kick out of how when Gulag Barbie saw her new office how she was gushing on camera about how she was just two doors down from Pelosi’s. I’m wondering if she’s figured out yet that the reason Pelosi wanted her close isn’t a compliment
@Brother Bob: Can they libsplain how every “national” emergency act was previously enacted for “other” countries and when the POTUS signs one for “our” country its a constitutional crisis?
@Brother Bob:
And they wonder why Trump doesn’t trust them.
Like a teacher having the class idiot sit on the front row?
Life is way too short to waste your time with them. Once time has past it is lost forever. As was pointed put in the article, why argue with someone who has the mentality of a three year old having a temper tantrum?
@kitt: Easy – it’s a crisis when they tell us!
@Deplorable Me: I’m wondering if Gulag Barbie’s Econ professors made her sit in the front row for every class. Having a degree in Econ myself, they probably hoped she’d cut class given the stupidity of the questions that she no doubt would have asked
@another vet: Where I used to make the mistake of trying tp honestly debate them, I adjusted that tactic last summer to engage for as long as they’d hold up the facade. The moment they’d go full Libtard was where I would shift to merciless mode. The result? I got quietly unfriended by one Libtard who put up a post calling me a Nazi sympathizer (of course the dude is Jewish) and blocked by two Libtards in a week ! #TheProgramIsWorking
@Brother Bob: Why does everyone else get to have an emergency…ITS NOT FAIR!
@Brother Bob: It doesn’t appear she showed up for many classes.
Brother Bob- More ammo for next week’s edition. The left is totally unhinged and without remorse.
@Brother Bob: Stone, Whittaker, Cohen. Didn’t I see these guys in GoodFellas?
Degree in Economics from the Fighting Terriers—worth something?
Bernie in—good for Schultz—Waiting on Uncle Joe who’d be immediate front runner and keep Schultz out.
Another HBO suggestion Veep—biting political satire–you will LOVE it–final season opens late March
Gulag Barbie has effectively devalued her school’s Econ department for granting her a degree =8^P
We’ve loved Veep from day 1 – we catch up on that along with a few other HBO series during each year’s GoT Season. Silicon Valley is another great one that Sister Babe & I enjoy. Two other HBO series that I’ve liked are True Detective (Season 2 was still good despite a weak finale) and Ballers. Westworld Season 1 was great. Haven’t watched 2 yet, tho I heard it was bad.
Going back to last week’s thread, when I responded regarding our agreement as to when the GOP sold its soul I asked for your take on the Dems:
Unfortunately, that was when you left the thread. It’s become so hard to find folks from the other side of the aisle who can still offer sane arguments. I’m still really interested in hearing your thoughts on the state of a party where even in a crowded field Jim Webb knows his unique voice has zero audience.
@another vet: Thanks – already in the hopper for this week’s post!
@Brother Bob: Believe Biden can beat Trump from the center/left-slugfest—think only 60/40 he gets in—DT beats the rest.
If Biden not in enter Schultz—previously showed his possible path to victory against DT and Bernie.
True Detective First season OUTSTANDING–3rd just OK
Do you think Trump actually believes all the lies he tells?—if that’s the case I would understand him much better–seriously.
@Richard Wheeler: Come on Rich, now you’re just dodging. I addressed your charge of President Trump’s “lies” in our last exchange. And we don’y care about Biden or Schultz.
What do you think about the Democratic Party selling its soul to The Radical Left, and is there a way they can get it back?
@Brother Bob: You’ll get used to it.
@Deplorable Me: Thanks, but I already know to engage in the soft bigotry of low expectations when dealing with Lefties =8^)
@Brother Bob: Fasy BB–I’ve been at work–Deplorable is on here almost 24/7 it seems—by far FA ‘S most prolific poster–does a lot more talking than listening.
Re listening it’s nice you can separate actors and musicians politics from their performances—seems a lot of Conservs, can’t and they miss out on a lot of great entertainment.
I don’t think Party has been hi-jacked—Hopefully Biden, a centrist, will run—he’ll get the nom and beat DT in the key states HRC lost
@Richard Wheeler: What do you think of these tactics https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-campaign-tech-privacy-20190220-story.html
@Richard Wheeler: What makes you think Biden will run as a centrist? He’s already apologized for his position on crime from back in the 90s. And as you may have noticed, the rest of the party seems certain that they can win in 2020 despite pushing farther to the left of Michael Moore.
You really think that the party hasn’t been hijacked and this is the same party they were 20 or 30 years ago? Look no further than the kind of extremist who wouldn’t get a whiff of interest in today’s Democratic primary. Why do you think Schultz is thinking of his Independent run, knowing that he’s nowhere near as far to the left as will be needed to get the 2020 nomination?
@Brother Bob: He can’t get NOMINATED as a centrist. If he can’t get nominated, he can’t win. Democrats like a gimmick; first woman, first black, first black woman (that would leapfrog a gimmick), etc, etc. I think old white guy has been done.
@Brother Bob: A centrist to me may not be a centrist to you. With almost all far left or unknown it will come down to Bernie vs. Biden—Close—Biden must be careful to keep Bernie supporters behind the ticket—Again if Joe doesn’t run I look for Schultz to beat Trump and Sanders.
Old white guy is done regularly by Repubs.
@Richard Wheeler:
But Republicans don’t denounce and condemn them as “the problem”.
Israel just launched a rocket, destination the moon
Everyone wants in on Spaceforce
Who even knew this was going to happen, our news agencies suck!
@kitt: If the rocket had a MAGA hat on it you could bet it would have been covered.
@Richard Wheeler: I thought that your examples of Centrists are Webb and Schultz. The entire announced field is radically to the left of them. Has your definition changed?
As for “old and white” – did you happen to notice the stages at the 2016 Primary debates?
@Brother Bob: Schultz and Webb definitely Centrists—Clinton and Biden slightly left of them but not by much.
I expect Schultz will wait on Biden and not challenge him—he’d prefer running against Sanders and Trump.
2016 Primaries—-Repubs -top of my head one woman–one Black—Rubio–old white guys. Did you notice Dem freshman class 2018? How bout Dems 2020 debates to come?
