SNL Goes Misogynistic In Portrayal Of Kellyanne Conway As Pennywise

By William Teach October 15, 2017 – 8:37 am

It’s certainly not the first time Saturday Night Live has portrayed Ms. Conway negatively over her looks, and probably won’t be the last. It’s a pattern with SNL, and other Leftist media outlets, to attack her in a manner that would have them screaming in Offendinitiss if this was against a Democratic woman, and perhaps resounds a little heavier consider that they can barely touch any jokes about Harvey Weinstein, and, in light of Weinstein, a big Democrat, finally being exposed for the sexual harasser, and perhaps rapist, that he is

(Mediaite) Saturday Night Live lampooned Stephen King‘s It tonight by depicting Kellyanne Conway (played by Kate McKinnon) as Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

The skit opens up with “Anderson Cooper” losing his rundown notes after they are blown out of his hand and fall down a storm drain. “Kelly-wise” greets Cooper when he looks down the drain, and she tries to entice the CNN host with crazy quotes so he’ll invite her back on TV.

When Cooper doesn’t go for it, Conway tries scaring him with headlines about President Trump‘s reelection in 2020. She eventually transforms into Hillary Clinton, who offers Cooper a free copy of her book.

Cooper is unable to resist the temptation, which leads to his arm being bitten off before he’s dragged into the sewers just like poor little Georgie Denbrough.

While this is not a major thing, it highlights the Left’s casual misogyny towards Republican women, something we’ve seen for a long, long time. It should surely be understood that politics is a dirty business, and you enter it at your own risk. However, if Republicans had done this skit (or all the others), every media outlet and Democratic politician would be shrieking about misogyny, would they not? These are the same people who turned an innocuous comment about binders of female candidates for jobs into the Worst Thing Ever against Romney, a guy who is as far from being anti-woman as possible. They claimed misogyny because VP Mike Pence will not meet with woman without his wife present.

Oh, and this was not the only political skit. There was also

And other stuff. Not to go all nostaligic, but, they used to be funny, something most could laugh at and enjoy, regardless of political stripe.

Bummer: Terror Threats Are A Distraction From ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach October 14, 2017 – 10:30 am

Waleed Aly, an Australian born to Egyptian parents, is supposedly the face of “moderate Islam”. However, he has also been accused of being part of the extremist Muslim Brotherhood, of being a celebrity Muslim apologist, and other support for radical Islam. He writes this piece

Focus on terror threats a convenient distraction from climate change

Something illuminating always happens when terrorism and climate change are juxtaposed. It’s just that you need to remember to see it.

Take the past week, when variously our state, territory and federal governments agreed to introduce a suite of new counter-terrorism laws, while the Turnbull government reached such a point of paralysis on climate change that it even hinted it wouldn’t proceed with the clean energy target for which it has spent months laying foundations.

The contrast could hardly be starker. Extending the limits of counter-terrorism legislation in Australia is now a frictionless process. The really attentive might notice the odd squeak of concern about civil liberties, but it carries little public weight and even less political momentum, so legislative change just happens. Climate change, meanwhile, is not just beset by friction, it’s positively jammed. Even modest suggestions – and there is good analysis suggesting the Finkel report’s clean energy target is environmentally inadequate – become politically untenable. Consequently, nothing much happens.

This continues on and on and on. What Aly really wants is for the Australian government to stop spending so much time dealing with the real threat of Islamic terrorism, and switch to the fake issue of Hotcoldwetdry. One has to wonder what the real motivation here is.

Who’s Up For A Roswell Reboot That Goes SJW On Illegal Immigration?

By William Teach October 14, 2017 – 7:36 am

The networks are already developing several shows regarding illegal aliens, obviously in a manner that supports and defends them. The CW is now jumping into the mix with a possible reboot to the short lived show Roswell, which was about some kids in Roswell, NM having romance with space aliens as stuff

(Bleeding Cool) As the series overview shows, the new Roswell will directly address the issue of immigration on two levels: the metaphorical sci-fi theme of “aliens-as-immigrants” that was present in the original series; and the very real issues surrounding the immigration debate and the impact it has on the children of undocumented immigrants:

The new, one-hour drama series follows the daughter of undocumented immigrants who reluctantly returns to her tourist-trap hometown of Roswell, New Mexico. There she discovers a shocking truth about her teenage crush who is now a police officer: he’s an alien who has kept his unearthly abilities hidden his entire life. She protects his secret as the two reconnect and begin to investigate his origins, but when a violent attack and long-standing government cover-up point to a greater alien presence on Earth, the politics of fear and hatred threaten to expose him and destroy their deepening romance.

The Mercury News puts it this way

What The CW has revealed about the plot so far is that the daughter of undocumented immigrants returns to Roswell and uncovers the truth about her teen crush, who has become a police officer. Turns out, he’s an alien who has successfully kept his special abilities hidden. She keeps his secret as the two work together to learn more about his origins and their romance rekindles, but everything is disrupted when a violent attack and a government cover-up unveil a greater alien presence on Earth. The two must fight to keep together and his secret safe.

Isn’t nice how the networks are trying to mainstream people who are unlawfully present in the United States? Perhaps they could tell us more on stories such as

Think Roswell, or the other network shows, will touch on these issues?

Trump Has Charted A Perilous Course On Iran Or Something

By William Teach October 14, 2017 – 7:09 am

Is anyone surprised that the American news media would seemingly take Iran’s side when it comes to Obama’s Iran deal? It shouldn’t, because they’re also taking Mr. Obama’s side along with being in full Trump Derangement Syndrome. The NY Times is super excited to slam Trump, rather than the extremists in Iran who are still hell bent on building a nuclear weapon, chant “death to America”, and want to wipe Israel off the map. In one “fact check“, in their zealous TDS they forget that Iran will not allow inspections of their military sites, where most nuclear research occurs. They’re thrilled that European leaders are slamming Trump.

This same is occurring all over the Left-o-news. Let’s move to the Washington Post Editorial Board

Trump has charted a perilious course on Iran

IN AN act of political vanity and geopolitical folly, President Trump has made one of the most serious national security challenges facing the United States, that of Iran, considerably worse. His announcement Friday that he would report to Congress that the Islamic republic is not meeting the terms of the 2015 multinational accord limiting its nuclear program flouted the reports of international inspectors, the unanimous counsel of his national security team and the appeals of key U.S. allies. His threat to terminate the agreement if Congress and America’s allies do not meet his demands for revisions could easily lead to Iran’s resumption of a race toward nuclear weapons — a dangerous course that the deal brokered by the Obama administration succeeded in arresting.

The nuclear accord is flawed, including sunset provisions that remove restrictions on Iranian nuclear activities beginning eight years from now. But Mr. Trump’s hyperbolic claim that the deal is “one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into” is belied by the fact that the regime has gone from being less than a year away from being able to produce a nuclear device, according to U.S. intelligence estimates, to having a fraction of the necessary materiel, and that under close international monitoring. The president’s contention that Iran is guilty of “multiple violations of the agreement” is belied by eight reports of the International Atomic Energy Agency as well as statements by his secretaries of state and defense and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

If there’s anything that shows that the deal should be renegotiated, it’s the sentence in bold, something which was known, but rarely put in print by any of the Obama supporting news outlets. All Obama did was kick the can down the road. Is the WPEB good with Iran building nuclear weapons in 8 years? Iran gets all the benefits. Ability to trade, getting all that cash from Obama, selling their oil, and so forth.

Mr. Trump promised additional action to address the non-nuclear threats posed by Iran, including its interventions in Iraq and Syria. The administration is justified in imposing sanctions on Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps. But it appears to have no clear plan to address Iran’s military entrenchment in Syria, which is threatening to touch off a new conflict with Israel. Rather than tackling those urgent challenges, Mr. Trump prefers to renounce the legacy of his political nemesis Barack Obama and thereby reopen the one front where Tehran is currently contained. North Korea will take note: The United States cannot be trusted to stick to any nuclear accord.

Except, the United States did not sign the accord, because it was structured, much like the Paris Climate Agreement, to avoid the federal body designated by the U.S. Constitution as the one to certify international deals. This is all spun in a manner to #resist Trump, to the point where US news outlets take Iran’s side.

NY Times Finally Let’s Us Know That The Obama Economy Stunk Like Durian Fruit

By William Teach October 13, 2017 – 5:26 pm

Have you ever smelled Durian fruit? Don’t. “It’s odor is best described as pig-shit, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock. It can be smelled from yards away. Despite its great local popularity, the raw fruit is forbidden from some establishments such as hotels, subways and airports, including public transportation in Southeast Asia.”

https://twitter.com/WilliamTeach/status/918651202014937088

From the article

Since the first rumblings of the financial crisis, in 2007, people have comforted themselves by looking back to the Great Depression and thinking about how much worse things could be. It’s true, too. Our modern economic crisis has been far less severe than the Depression.

Yet our crisis isn’t over. By almost any measure — employment, income, net worth, total output — the economy is still suffering.

Of course, writer David Leonhardt avoids mentioning Obama, or assigning any blame for the terrible recovery, and attempts to point towards 2019 as being bad (and that Government should spend oodles of money, because that worked wonders, eh?), but, the basics are there: the Obama economy was terrible. Eight years of ineffective policies and massive debt really didn’t help.

Of course, if things are so so in 2019, they’ll simply blame Trump. We won’t hear the whole “inherited” meme.

Trump’s Views On Hotcoldwetdry Are Threatening Civilization Or Something

By William Teach October 13, 2017 – 10:27 am

Threatening civilization!!!!! It’s always time for a bit of climahysteria

Trump’s views on climate change are threatening human civilization (Your letters)

To the Editor:

Over the past month we have seen unusually powerful and devastating hurricanes, extremely destructive forest fires and record-breaking heat waves. Closer to home, autumn has felt more like midsummer.

And not one of those can be proven to be caused by/linked to athropogenic climate change/global warming. Just like the very early snows in Montana are not proof that world hasn’t warmed, nor that the next Holocene cool period is on the way (it also doesn’t prove AGW, either). Does an almost 12 year dearth in landfalling major hurricanes disprove a warming Earth? How about a major reduction in landfalling minor hurricanes and tropical storms? No. But, the argument is not on warming, it’s on causation.

My daughter’s high school soccer team had two consecutive games canceled because temperatures topped 90 degrees in late September. We might be enjoying the bizarre summer weather here in Central New York, but climate change represents one of the greatest existential threats to human civilization.

Got that? The poor darlings were unable to deal with a little heat (like the do here in the South, and, places all over the world), so, utter doom.

However, President Donald Trump has chosen this time to follow up on his rejection of the Paris Climate Agreement by scrapping President Obama’s Clean Power Plan. He is also developing a plan for the energy grid that will subsidize coal, the dirtiest, most carbon-intensive fuel, thus undermining renewables like wind and solar. Trump and his right-wing allies are so invested in undoing every shred of Barack Obama’s legacy and in fighting a culture war to save a dying coal industry that they are willing to endanger the future of our nation, our children and our planet.

Los Angeles Looks To Further Decriminalize Street Vending To Shield Illegal Aliens From ICE

By William Teach October 13, 2017 – 7:08 am

It’s an interesting prospect. Leftists have long pushed to require licenses for everything, and like to punish those without. Some make sense, others don’t. If you want to sell cars, you need a license. You don’t do anything for it, just pay a fee. Do not have to pass a test or demonstrate anything. Anyhow, if you want to do it, they want to require a license for it. This is how we end up with kids having their lemonade stands shut down by law enforcement. But, one would think that requiring a license for street vendors, at least those selling food, would be a good idea, right? We can agree that there should be some standards when we’re talking about something that can make people sick and even kill them, right?

(The Root) Walk outside a Hollywood, Calif., nightclub on any given night of the week and you are bound to come across a street vendor selling delicious-smelling hot dogs and sausages smothered in peppers and onions. The familiar tinkling of a bell attached to the end of a cart as it makes its way down your street lets you know the elote man is on the block. The kind hombre in the cowboy hat walking past the baseball diamonds in the park, pushing a freezer chest on wheels, will happily sell you your favorite ice cream treat for no more than a dollar or two.

Street vendors are a common sight in Los Angeles. For many immigrants, it is a way to make an honest living, but it also exposes them to the risks of being arrested and possibly detained and deported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. While the city decriminalized street vending on sidewalks in February 2017, that change did not apply to vendors who operate in the city’s parks. A motion filed by City Council members on Tuesday seeks to rectify that, NBC reports.

Council members Jose Huizar and Mitch O’Farrell introduced the motion that would direct city staff to remove criminal misdemeanor charges for vending in parks and recommend other penalties that would compel compliance without exposing vendors to the threat of a criminal penalty.

What’s the point of this?

“In February, the Los Angeles City Council voted to decriminalize street vending in order to keep our mostly immigrant vendors out of the overreaching aggressive arms of our federal government looking to target otherwise law-abiding immigrants for deportation,” Huizar told NBC. “This motion and another I co-introduced last week help us maintain a consistent stance against the federal government and, more importantly, in support of our immigrant community.”

That’s right, it’s to shield illegal aliens from coming to the attention of Immigration and Customs Enforcement when they are arrested or enter the legal justice system in some method. Thankfully, zoot suits are still illegal in Los Angeles city.

Trump To Now End Ocare Cost-Sharing Subsidies, As Were Never Authorized By Congress

By William Teach October 13, 2017 – 6:51 am

As you can imagine, this has sent Obamacare supporters (who mostly do not use Ocare themselves) into a tizzy. Moonbat Level 10. Given them the vapors

(Politico) President Donald Trump plans to cut off subsidy payments to insurers selling Obamacare coverage in his most aggressive move yet to undermine the health care law, according to two sources close to the discussions.

The subsidies, which are worth an estimated $7 billion this year and are paid out in monthly installments, may stop almost immediately since Congress hasn’t appropriated funding for the program.

The decision, which leaked out only hours after Trump signed an executive order calling for new regulations to encourage cheap, loosely regulated health plans – delivered a double whammy to Obamacare after months of failed GOP efforts to repeal the law. With open enrollment for the 2018 plan year set to launch in two weeks, the moves seem aimed at dismantling the law through executive actions.

Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed the decision in a statement emailed to reporters at 10:47 p.m. Thursday.

“Based on guidance from the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services has concluded that there is no appropriation for cost-sharing reduction payments to insurance companies under Obamacare,” she said. “In light of this analysis, the Government cannot lawfully make the cost-sharing reduction payments. …The bailout of insurance companies through these unlawful payments is yet another example of how the previous administration abused taxpayer dollars and skirted the law to prop up a broken system.”

Congress has never appropriated the money for the cost-sharing subsidies (under Section 1402), otherwise known as insurance company bailouts due to the implementation of a law that doesn’t Understand How Insurance Works, hence, any payments are illegal. Furthermore, a judge agreed that the payments were unConstitutional.

Scrapping the subsidy payments is likely to jolt already fragile Obamacare markets — although the impact may be less severe than it would have been a few months back.

If the Ocare markets are so fragile, that should tell us that this was a terrible law, one which set up a bad system, should it not?

There’s even a suggestion that insurers will sue Trump over this. That’ll be tossed quickly, because there is no statutory funding authorized by Congressional budgets to pay these out.

As Dr. Marc Siegel just said on TV as I write this, insurers stay in Ocare when it benefits them, and leave when they don’t. But consumers are trapped by this system.
