You Should Totally Not Believe That Hillary Is Dishonest And Greedy Or Something

By William Teach September 20, 2016 – 7:51 am

USA Today’s Michael O’Hanlon really wants you to just give her a chance

Don’t believe what you hear about Clinton: Column

As I have watched this presidential race, and the debate over Hillary Clinton ever since the Benghazi tragedy of 2012, I have been disturbed to see a fine American and kindly human dragged so frequently into the mud. To be sure, if you think she’s wrong on the issues, don’t vote for her. But the caricature of her as dishonest, greedy and overly ambitious is unfair and inaccurate.

Or

Anyway, I’m sure it’s also sexxxxxist!

Normally, I wouldn’t write an essay like this. But now, with even Colin Powell adding fuel to the fire through his leaked emails, it’s time for a little balance. Full disclosure: I am a distant friend and minor adviser to Hillary. But I’m not in her inner circle, am not expecting some high-visibility job if she wins the presidency, and am fully aware of her campaign’s substantive flaws — most notably, in my opinion, a failure to articulate a sufficient, cogent and clear plan for the economy. She has some good ideas and would do well as president, I believe, but somehow the package of proposals isn’t coming through very well on the campaign trail. So this is not meant as a purely laudatory or sycophantic column, by any means.

So, she’s also incompetent?

The rest is fawning syncopate yammering, just as you’d expect, ending with

So if you disagree with Clinton’s views, don’t vote for her. However, please think twice before buying into the caricature of her that’s been created by her political foes. When she left the secretary of State position in early 2013 with a 69% favorable rating, they saw that their only hope of beating her in 2016 was to paint her as someone she’s not.

See, it’s not her fault that she’s a total scumbag who trashed those who accused her husband of sexual assault and rape, who turned the other cheek as her husband received oral sex from a 21 year old intern, who treated the Secret Service and everyone else like peasants and with disdain, that she constantly seems to be involved in something shady, she lies so much she can barely keep her lies straight, she lied to the families of those killed in Benghazi, she somehow amassed hundreds of millions while serving in public office, she’s secretive beyond normal political paranoia, making Nixon seem reasonable, she has no regard for national security, she uses her position well beyond normal pay for play, incredible conflicts of interest. Seriously, the list could go on and on, and this is before we get to her awful political positions.

But, see, it’s not her fault. It’s probably your fault. Or talk radio’s fault. Or Fox News. Sorry, Faux News. Or the fault of Drudge. Or bloggers. But, not Hillary’s fault. Never.

Trump’s Hotcoldwetdry Clashes With Florida Sea Rise Or Something

By William Teach September 19, 2016 – 10:30 am

No, seriously. Sea rise totally proves that people using lots of energy to publish newspapers, along with all the fossil fuels to gather the news and distribute the dead tree editions, is obviously the only reason the seas are rising

Trump’s climate science denial clashes with reality of rising seas in Florida

By Donald Trump’s account, scientists have tricked Americans into accepting that global warming is caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

“I’m not a big believer in man-made climate change,” he told the Miami Herald on one of the rare recent occasions when he has talked about it.

A few blocks from the Miami Beach hotel where Trump spoke, water flooded over a seawall last year during the highest autumn tides, blocking traffic on one of South Florida’s main evacuation routes. The city is now elevating that street and many others as part of a $500-million program to protect itself from the rising ocean.

The rest of the article is exactly what you would expect, lots of whining about consensus, followed by the notion that the seas are rising in Florida and causing flooding, and due to Cult of Climastrology logic, it is all Mankind’s fault. Because it never happened before

Damned early men and their carbon pollution 20,000 years ago. Look what they caused!

Anyway, NOAA hasn’t had a working gauge in Miami Beach since 1981. According to a University of Miami study, sea rise has gone from 3mm to 9mm since 2006. What does this prove? Nothing. It is not proof of anthropogenic causation. And all the doomsaying sure doesn’t seem to be causing developers, builders, and buyers from stopping developing, building, and buying homes right on the coast.

Oh, and you only get that 9mm mark, which would equate to 35 inches per century, you have to cherry pick.

Oh, and for all the whining by the LA Times, the gauge for L.A. shows a whopping .95mm per year, which equates to .31 feet per century.

Having Solved All Other Problems, France Bans Plastic Cutlery And Crockery For ‘Climate Change’

By William Teach September 19, 2016 – 7:13 am

France’s economy is in the doldrums. They constantly deal with violence, riots, arson and rape by the “immigrants” from Islamic nations.  But, those are tiny issues compared to

(The Telegraph) Plastic crockery and cutlery is to be banned in France unless it is made from biologically sourced materials.

The law comes into force in 2020. It is part of a French environmental initiative called the Energy Transition for Green Growth, part of a package aimed at tackling climate change.

Look, there’s definitely an issue with plastics not being recycled. And even just bagged and sent to the landfills. People just dump it. It ends up polluting and blighting the landscape and oceans. Of course, the Cult of Climastrology has taken over this real environmental concern, as they do everything else. Why? Because their fuitier than a bowl of grapes.

And Progressives love banning things they do not like. They really love it, whether it be objects, speech, or thoughts. They really want to ban things they do not agree with. Fortunately, they aren’t always successful. But, they will keep trying. Once they arrive at an idea to ban something, they will never let go. And they will often attempt to ban via government action. They seem to love big Fascistic government.

Next up, they’ll whine about the amount of water used to clean non-plastic crockery and cutlery. And we can all eat with our fingers. To save the planet from a tiny increase in global temperatures utterly consistent with a low range Holocene warm period.

More Bombs Found In New Jersey, One Explodes. FBI Names NY Suspect

By William Teach September 19, 2016 – 7:07 am

Everyone should remain calm, though. Obama is on the case. He’s at fundraisers whining about misinformation, otherwise known as “people engaging in their 1st Amendment Rights”

(NJ.com) An improvised explosive device in a backpack detonated near the Elizabeth train station early Monday as authorities were using a bomb robot to examine the item, officials said.

The blast occurred around 12:40 a.m. near Morris Avenue and Julian Place. The explosion was not a controlled blast, but happened unintentionally as the robot was cutting the device, according to Mayor Christian Bollwage. No one was injured in the blast, Bollwage said.

Authorities found five devices inside a single backpack near the train station, including one that was detonated. After the explosion, press and bystanders were moved back because the four other explosive devices inside of the backpack were still believed to be live, Bollwage said.

Two men had found the backpack in the garbage, taking it as they thought it might have value. Then they saw wires and grew a bit concerned. It was just 300 feet from a busy pub near the train station. There’s speculation that Elizabeth was not the target, but that the person carrying the bombs dumped them off.

This follows on the heels of a bomb explosion in the Chelsea area of NY, Seaside Park, NJ, and a knife attack in Minnesota. A gay activist supposedly took responsibility for the Chelsea bombing, which is weird, being that it is a big gay area. ISIS also took responsibility. Five people have supposedly been detained over the bombing. Geraldo Rivera supposedly has an impeachable source that they are Aghans.

The FBI is reported to have gone heavily armed into an apartment in Elizabeth, NJ early this morning

Officials say they are concerned that there is an active terror cell

Let’s also not forget that the stabber in Minnesota was a Muslim of Somali origin, and was shouting Allahu Akbar. Of course, CNN and the Muslim community are more worried about any backlash than stopping any in their community who have become radicalized.

More: The FBI is apparently seeking someone who is Amish or a Quaker

Don’t forget to check out all the other great material all the linked blogs have!

Anyone else have a link or hotty-fest going on? Let me know so I can add you to the list. (BTW, since someone asked, the reason I leave links for the previous week up (or you might see a *) is because they are place holders for later in the day or for next weeks. Easier than rewriting all the time. Also, the listing order has to do with how they are added over time, not how good a post is. I just copy and paste from the previous week, then edit. If you see one of the *’s, go ahead and check out the blog anyhow, see if there is an update. I cannot update with my Android during the day.

Rich, Pampered Athletes In Philly Plan On Protesting National Anthem

By William Teach September 18, 2016 – 8:50 am

Because what we need is an inter-mixing of hardcore politics while we attempt to escape while watching sports

(NBC Sports) The first Sunday of the regular season coincided with the 15th anniversary of 9/11. And while there were still some demonstrations from NFL players during the national anthem, at least one team refrained on that day — but won’t in Week Two.

“Everybody wants to be a part of it and I feel like it’s no different on our team,” Eagles safetyMalcolm Jenkins told Glen Macnow of WIP in Philadelphia on Friday, via CSNPhilly.com. “We got guys, especially myself, who feel very strongly about the topic. Last week, we talked about doing some stuff, but we wanted to make sure we didn’t do anything to take away from the folks, the families, that suffered from 9-11. We didn’t want to mess with that day, so we left last week alone. But moving forward, I’m sure there will be guys that will probably join in.”

Jenkins said he possibly will be one of the players who participate in the demonstration.

“For me, it has nothing to do with this country or the flag or the anthem in itself,” Jenkins said. “Really, it’s just to continue to push for the conversation about social injustice. And that’s a range of things from police brutality to wages and job opportunities to education. It’s just a lot of things systematically that have been set up in this country, since its inception that really put minorities, especially African-Americans, at a disadvantage, when you’re talking about quality of life and actually growing in this country.

“So we want to continue to keep that conversation going and push it to as many people as we can. Obviously, while also doing our part in bringing forth change. And I think, obviously, this has been a hot topic and the more players that join in, the further this conversation goes. And I think after the initial shock of what happened and once everybody started to listen to what [Colin Kaepernick’s] message was, it’s become a really good conversation that’s going on nationwide. I think every player has an opinion and definitely wants to share, use their stage to do better.”

Well, I suppose if you plan on doing it in a Democratic Party run city that has degraded the lives of blacks via Democratic Party policies, well, OK, then. As the first comment at the article reads “8 years of “Hope and Change” and here we are at this.”

Malcolm Jenkins signed a 4 year, $35,000,000 contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, including a $7,500,000 signing bonus, $21,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $8,750,000. In 2016, Jenkins will earn a base salary of $2,500,000 and a signing bonus of $7,500,000. Jenkins has a cap hit of $5,666,668 while his dead money value is $17,666,668.

He should engage in social justice and give the majority away to black families in poverty. “Put your money where your mouth or demonstration is.”

Yes, the players have a 1st Amendment right to protest peaceably. Other people are also eligible to use their 1st Amendment Rights to complain about the players and their so-called protests. Most of the early ratings are down from 2015. Could this have anything to do with people tuning out from all the politicization? Yes, sports can be used for politics, but, do it in the right way. Jackie Robinson just went out and played.

(Proof Positive) If I were a millionaire sports star, I could think of any number of ways I could “start a conversation” about whatever was on my mind. After game interviews, take out a full page ad in the New York Times, hire a skywriter, set my Ferrari on fire in my driveway and let the press (and my insurance company) interview me!

But to publicly disrespect the flag, IMHO, crosses that line. I do not need to watch a demonstration of  the ignorance and gullibility of spoiled millionaire jocks, who believe things that simply aren’t true about the state of law enforcement in the country that provided them wealth, fame and boundless opportunities.

If the NFL doesn’t agree with me, fine! That’s their right. But if I refuse to watch any of their teams, or patronize any of their sponsors, or promote them in any way, that’s my right, too, which I will exercise until such time as I am satisfied that the NFL is not providing a platform for a poisonous form of dissent.

How many will tune out? I’ll be watching the games. And laughing at the pampered athletes who think they are Doing Something. It’s easy for them. What’s hard is putting their own money and time on the line. Will they do that? Perhaps they should look around and realize that black on black violence is quite a bit bigger than cops shooting criminals who are black and engaged in criminality.
