“The Pentagon on Thursday flight-tested a missile that had been banned under a treaty that the United States and Russia abandoned last summer. Some U.S. arms control advocates said the test risks an unnecessary arms race with Moscow…”
Two thoughts come to mind: first, if the U.S. and Russia abandoned the treaty last summer, then the missile isn’t “banned”, is it?!?
Second, for those too young to have personally witnessed the results of the last arms race in which Moscow engaged the United States, and which the “arms control advocates” of the day also decried, Ronaldus Maximus only ended up freeing Eastern Europe…
…from the very totalitarian tyranny the Dimocratic Party wants to reimpose on America today. Where would we be without advocates…or experts? In most cases, significantly for the better!
Since we’re on the subject of advocates we’d be better off without, during Saturday’s Army-Navy game, a number of Falcon fans and alums took exception the following characterization…
…is never mentioned during Air Force’s annual contests with the Black Knights and Midshipmen. Point taken: Air Force grads ARE in fact willing to die for their country, at least the limited few who actually pass in harm’s way. Still, the fact remains, unlike their Air Force counterparts, Navy, Marine Corps and Army personnel generally don’t cry as they do it.
And for the record, gaining a new, unneeded, and costly separate branch of the DoD in exchange for 12 weeks of paid family leave for already grossly overcompensated federal employees isn’t just a BAD DEAL, it’s a HORRIBLE DEAL!!! And it’s what happens when you let your clueless kids set government policy.
Now, here’s The Gouge!
Speaking of the clueless, we lead off the Monday edition with a few observations on a recent commentary at FOX News by one Jessica Tarlov:
“The evidence in favor of impeachment seems overwhelming to me. And President Trump’s misconduct seems a lot more serious than President Clinton’s.
Clinton lied about sex – but his conduct didn’t endanger our national security or threaten the system of government established in our Constitution.
…How can anyone argue with a straight face that Trump didn’t obstruct Congress to block it from carrying out its constitutional oversight responsibility?“
So much educated idiocy and disinformation, so little time. First, Ms. Tarlov’s personal opinionthe evidence in favor of impeachment “seemsoverwhelming”, and Trump’s misconduct “seems a lot more serious” than Clinton’s (and her exalted status as a FOX contributor and PhD in political science and government notwithstanding…after all, the Greenwich Village idiot is a Nobel Laureate!), any number of people far more knowledgeable on the facts than she feel quite the opposite, Kimberly Strassel and Andy McCarthy among them. Then again, she has the once-obscure New Jersey judge Andrew Napolitano squarely in her corner.
Second, for the record, Clinton didn’t just lie about sex, he lied about sexunder oath (Jessica, you may not have picked this up at Bryn Mawr or London, but that’s called perjury!), he urged his secretary to lie about him having sex (that‘s called suborning perjury andobstruction of justice!), and the sex he in fact had was with a subordinate IN THE OVAL OFFICE, an act which would have immediately caused the forced removal of any other CEO of any company or organization on the planet. Moreover, he perjured himself, suborned perjury and obstructed justice in the course of a lawsuit filed by another subordinate he’d sexually assaulted while governor of Arkansas. Adulterous husbands lie to their wives about sex, NOT the President of the United States…and NOT under oath.
Finally, does Tarlov have even the faintest ideahow many times the Obama Administration refused to respond to Congressional subpoenas, beginning with Fast & Furious, the IRS targeting of Conservative groups and on through the Iran nuclear deal?!? Likely not, or, assuming she’s honest, she wouldn’t have termed the normal conflict between the Executive and Legislative branches obstruction of justice.
Need we add Ukraine got their military aid from The Donald…after 8-years of Obama refusing to provide it; so how exactly was national security at all threatened by Trump?!?
And if we’re going to talk threats to our system of government, we frankly cannot think of any greater than a President lying under oath, let alone urging others to do so…unless of course it’s a President using the power of the federal government to target political opponents (the IRS scandal) or the results of an upcoming election (the DOJ/FBI), or any greater threat to national security than a Secretary of State using an illegal, unsecured email server!!!
That being said, we’re no great fan of The Donald; but until Republicans run a candidate with cajones, or the Dimocrats move dramatically to the right, he’s the only sensible alternative.
Meanwhile, given the latest from Chuck Schumer, it’s no wonder “chutzpah” is a Yiddish term. What a nebbish…or perhaps more accurately, a putz!

““Magical” isn’t typically associated with abortion but one Texas group used the term to celebrate at a holiday party, then doubled down by calling the procedure “self-care.”
Texas Equal Access (TEA) Fund posted what appears to be prayer candles marked with the message, “Abortions are magical” and the colorful outline of a unicorn. “Getting our holiday party favors ready!” the pro-choice group wrote. “Every year we honor our volunteers and make sure they get a token of appreciation at our annual holiday party.”…”
Why not some more concrete token of appreciation, not to mention more valuable…like a marketable fetal body part?!? In all seriousness, you maniacal murderers, may…
Moving on, as the Oregon News recently reported, an…
“A Portland panhandler who threw rocks through the windows of five businesses in the Lloyd District because she said no one was giving her money was sentenced Wednesday to 20 days in jail and ordered to pay more than $9,000 for the damage…”
Will someone please explain how a panhandler is going to repay over $9,000?!? Truth is, she won’t, which means the business ownersthemselves will repair the damage or their insurance company’s will foot the bill, then raise the business owners premiums.
Either way, like their Progressive brethren across the fruited plains, particularly those to their immediate north and south, Portland’s politicians have sown the wind, leaving the city’s businesses and citizens to reap the whirlwind.
“…“It was a lugie. It was balled-up spit,” said Martin’s attorney Ryan Ogren…His attorneys add that he suffered concerns for his health afterward, even undergoing testing for HIV and other diseases.
The employee, identified as Brian Colon, had reportedly admitted to spitting into Martin’s coffee when Martin returned to the shop to complain, but he said it wasn’t because Martin was a cop. Rather, Colon alleges that Martin had been mean to his pregnant fiancee, who works with him at the Dunkin’, after she accidentally gave Martin the wrong order.
“She’s crying a lot, and I asked what’s wrong? She tells me this guy keeps calling me the B-word,” Colon claimed…The Dunkin’ employee claims he had no idea Martin was a police officer until Martin came back into the shop to complain. Colon subsequently quit his job at the Dunkin’, and later served four days in jail for disorderly conduct.
Now, Martin is suing Dunkin’ to recoup the cost of his medical expenses, and for damages following his claims of pain and suffering.
“Something like this just shouldn’t happen to [Martin]. Whether he called [Colon’s fiancée] a b—- or not, doesn’t make any difference,” said Victor Harding, another lawyer for Martin…”
No difference…no difference whatsoever…even to a judge or jury?!?
Now, for the rest of the story, courtesy of a local Myrtle Beach news source:
“It wasn’t until Martin left the Dunkin’ Donuts and took his first sipthat he realized his black coffee had something added, Ogren said.“
Inquiring minds want to know if it was the taste or texture of the lugie Officer Martin detected?
