Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain

I'm sure the missing...military personnel aren't engaging in any improprieties whilst being AWOL within the borders of the U.S.

Check six. Often.

We've known this all along

The US has been supplying arms to the terrorists.

Not a shocker at all, considering Benghazi and the outcome of the smuggling through Libya of same.

Obviously, stepping on our own dick, repeatedly, isn't enough of an incentive to stop that particular kind of fuck-up.

Oh well, it IS the government running that show.

More from the swirling toilet bowl

Perhaps tasteless, but I couldn't help BUT laugh;

"...DeSai's LinkedIn page shows he graduated from the University of Tulsa with a J.D. and the University of Houston with a bachelor's degree in psychology..."

The Crazy ®.

You never know when you'll run into it.

Does any of this look familiar?

From Pete at WRSA, quoting Paylie Roberts;

“…You can look up any dictionary definition of martial law you like, but living under such oppression first hand is as good of an explanation as you can get: absolute arbitrary rule by the government with a gun potentially pointed at you at all times, food used against you as a weapon, and being under surveillance at any or all times…”

Yup.

Add in the protests from various angles, the most outrageously embarrassing electioneering I've seen in my entire life...on BOTH sides, outright central-control of the (now permanent) artificially inflated-bubble economy, even MORE meddling in the affairs of the backwards Middle East, affronts on our civil rights by the entirety of government, governmental control of media and I'm seeing 1984 being acted out like it's a playbook instead of the warning it was meant to be.

Beware

RTWT.

"... The counterattack is coming—take Hillary and Barack’s word for it..."

All I can say is, can't wait.

Fully Politicized

Brilliantly stated; 

"...But, of course, in the fully politicized society the role of art is the same as the role of science or education or car-building or grocery-shopping….to promote the interests of the dominant or ascendant power structure..."

And such is the reason for shit like "global warming," Common Core "education," and my personal hobby-horse, "Green Buildings." It's all nothing more than an attempt at fully controlling and influencing entire swaths of humanity.

Sickening.

Just another story from a banana republic

Banker criminals, roaming around freely who are never caught, by design.

My maw is agape at this bit;

"...Wells Fargo says that 5,300 employees have been fired as a result of this conduct, and they are promising to clean things up."

Cleanup?

Uh, I'm fairly certain that these employees who are being fired (yes, for doing something that is both unethical as well as criminal) were most likely instructed to do so from the very top of the board room.

Why would I come to that conclusion?

This is why; How is it that OVER 5,000 EMPLOYEES WOULD COME UP WITH THE SAME GAME TO THE SYSTEM, AND AT THE SAME TIME?

The only answer that makes even a little bit of sense is that they were TOLD to do it.

Don't continue to piss on my leg and insist that it's merely raining.

See the Dear Ms. Barnhardt for the only acceptable elixir for this madness.

Oh, and the Watchmen are mumbling something in the background.

The new Jim Crow

The irony is strong with this one.

LOVED this part;

"...An epistocracy might grant some people additional voting power, or might restrict the right to vote only to those that could pass a very basic test of political knowledge..."

And what might that "very basic test," constitute, questions about, say, 'climate change,' or possibly how to handle 'undocumented' immigrants, Mr. Brennan?

Like that, Mr. Ethicist?

Last time I checked, we ended such actions in this country over 50 years ago, and while I know I'd prefer people to be informed about who they might be voting for, that simply does not limit them to voting for whom I'd PREFER THEM TO VOTE FOR, and your "test," as you're promoting, could easily be worded or manipulated for whatever politically correct answers the test makers desired.

The Basket of Deplorables®.

The sycophants who follow Shrills haven't a CLUE about what that actually means.

Memory is a powerful thing

And we should be able to avoid previous mistakes.

Yet we keep making the same ones, over and over.

Remember kids, the Liberals would have you believe that if we get rid of the guns, then we'll all live in a Utopia...JUUUUUST like the one they are currently implementing in Venezuela.

Facts matter.

REMEMBER.

QOTD

“Popular suffrage is in itself no guarantee of freedom. People can vote themselves into slavery.” – Frank Chodorov

So true.

This is not a plan

And the reason is that "a guaranteed Federal job for anyone who wants one," means that there are FAR MORE TAKERS, WHO DON'T PRODUCE A DAMNED THING, you stupid fucking cunt.

Truly, the very essence of Liberal Stupidity.
