Posted by: Andy at 06:42 AM Comments (Jump to bottom of comments) 1 Good Morning Morons. Today is Wednesday, March 18, 2015. On this day in 1314 Jacques de Molay, the last grand master of the Knights Templar, was burned at the stake for the crime of loaning King Phillip IV of France more money than he could pay back.

He must win support and form a coalition to get the necessary 61 seats. http://fxn.ws/1MImDR4 Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:43 AM (wlDny) 3 Kraft is recalling 242,000 cases of Mac and Cheese. If you have any on the shelf be sure to read this notice to see if yours is one of the affected boxes. http://fxn.ws/1BwAG3G Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:44 AM (wlDny) 4 The State Department said Tuesday it has no record of Hillary Clinton signing a key form stating she turned over all official documents upon leaving the department Remember, we are talking Clinton here. Parse that statement. It doesn't say she did not sign it, it doesn't say she did sign it. It doesn't even say if they found the form. Has the press applied close questioning of who ever said this (probably "big tits")? Of course not. I think signing this form is a red herring. It doesn't matter whether she signed it or not, she maintained classified information on her home computer and is hiding that. She committed another felony. http://fxn.ws/1beyZmu Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:44 AM (wlDny) 5 Microsnot is dropping the name "Internet Explorer" for its new browser. Too many people hate it. I haven't used it for years. http://fxn.ws/1CrFtc8 Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:44 AM (wlDny) 6 US Air Force vet became radicalized as a black muzzie and tried to join ISIS so he could cut the heads off children. I do not see why the US has not declared the Black Muslim movement as a subversive organization. Well I do see why, but they should do it anyway. http://fxn.ws/1CrFtc8 Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:44 AM (wlDny) 7 State Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) wants people to start a BBQ rebellion against the EPA because they are seeking to regulate your BBQ grill and require expensive modifications. I have a better idea, lets call for a new Party who will seek to eliminate this out of control rogue agency. Or lets hold an Art V convention and eliminate it ourselves. There is NOTHING in the Constitution that allows the government to create the EPA. Let's put some teeth in the Constitution with the ability for people outside of DC to remove rogue judges and Agencies. http://fxn.ws/1LswAF0 Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:45 AM (wlDny) 8 As much as $500 million in U.S. military aid to Yemen is unaccounted for, U.S. officials said Tuesday, sparking fears that military equipment could be seized by Shiite Houthi rebels or even Al Qaeda. So we have fears huh? The ISIS assholes have the equipment and you know it. Never give military equipment to shit holes that are likely to turn it over to the enemy. http://fxn.ws/1F1Vl6U Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:45 AM (wlDny) 9 Fox gives advice on how to drink whiskey. So now we have whiskey snobs telling us low lifes how to get drunk. I will continue pouring my roughly 100 grams (app 3 f.o.) into a glass similar to the one in the picture and over the rocks. I have been considering getting some of those freezer rocks but since they would not be good for more than a few minutes you would have to buy a metric shit-ton of them. http://fxn.ws/1MMtx5H Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:45 AM (wlDny) 10 Sanity prevails. Obama, MSNBC hardest hit. Posted by: George Orwell de Leon at March 18, 2015 06:45 AM (1BQGO) 11 Ezra Klein on Vox is calling for that idiot Al Bore to run again. That's fine with me. The pukes could even win with any old turd out there. http://bit.ly/19rnyr0 Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:45 AM (wlDny) 12 CA IT worker does not like his shit sandwich he got from Obama after voting for him. I have no sympathy for him. Yum yum eat'm up. http://bit.ly/1HZ2OlN Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:45 AM (wlDny) 13 SF is looking to join the list of liberal Hells that are giving voting rights to 16 year olds. This is an obvious ploy to get more liberal voters into the system. My question is how will they make sure that these 16 year olds do not vote in the federal elections? Are they giving out two ballots? I would say probably not. I don't give a damn how cities turn themselves to shit as long as my tax dollars are not paying for the toilet paper, but I don't want kids voting for people who will pass laws that effect me. Maybe some of you Morons in States that do this can edumacate us on how they do it? http://bit.ly/1FzcSCv Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:46 AM (wlDny) 14 And speaking of kids, how many times do they have to get their noses rubbed in raw sewage before they realize that social media is NOT their friend? http://bit.ly/1xdEig2 Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:46 AM (wlDny) 15 Third Party activists are agitating for inclusion in the Presidential debates and that the 15% rule be removed. I would say that it would probably be OK to lower the 15% rule but not to eliminate it. I have seen too many debates turned to shit by too many candidates, most of which have zero support outside of a few loons. http://bit.ly/1BOQrq5 Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:46 AM (wlDny) 16 Black Panthers are urging people to kill cops. Pardon me, but isn't this a felony? Thank you Obama and Holder. http://bit.ly/1F1ZQhS Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:47 AM (wlDny) 17 And on that subject the turd that shot those two cops in Ferguson is claiming it was a false confession to get the cops to quit beating him. Sounds like the typical jail house scream of innocence. http://bit.ly/1AXsLwl Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:47 AM (wlDny) 18 An FCC watchdog group has opened an official investigation on how they are writing Internet rules. I am waiting for one of those big companies with deep pockets to sue and get this whole thing shut down a third time. And hope they will request a ruling in their favor "with malice" since this lawless administration keeps sticking its thumbs into the judges eyes. http://bit.ly/1MMwxz6 Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:47 AM (wlDny) 19 The Teacher's Union President had Scankles secret email address. http://bit.ly/1AXtRIv Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:47 AM (wlDny) 20 Obama's anti-Netanyahu group violated tax law, congress has called them on it, and they are scrambling. I don't see what they are worried about. Sure they violated the law but Holder will do nothing. Congress won't either. http://bit.ly/18G6NqX Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:48 AM (wlDny) 21 FL is trying to pass a law making it a misdemeanor for someone to use a single sex bathroom if their gender does not match their DL or Passport. Of course the Gaystapo doesn't like it. I suspect that if this law passes it will not be long before they go judge shopping. And if that fails they will seek to get DLs and passports changed. Oh and how about this little gem "Trans Lives Matter" is there. http://bit.ly/1AXuOR1 Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:48 AM (wlDny) 22 DAY 861 602 to go (675 to Inauguration Day 2017) Muzzies, Marxists, Maoists, Mau-Maus, MFM's, Moochelle, Mao-suits, McCain's, McConnell's, machiavellian Mississippi mudslingers, McAuliffe's, Maduro's, MIRV's, Mexifornians, menacing Mozillan 'mo's, Mugwumps, mutants, malcontents, malthusians, maniacs, malignant medical mandates, martial law, miscreants, microagressors, minions, maladjusted masochistic multiculturalists, momzers, mamalukes, mooks, mopes, mariuoli, meeskeits, maricons, marauders, malodorous militants, menstruating mons veneri, malfunctioning Moron microsites and miscellaneous meshugas notwithstanding. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at March 18, 2015 06:49 AM (St6BJ) 23 Sarrasota, FL is removing their requirement that new hire police have an associate's degree. They want to achieve more diversity. Same old shit, reduce standards in the search for that all consuming god diversity. It doesn't matter than anyone with a temperature above 32F can get a two year degree. http://bit.ly/1Ev4thU Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:49 AM (wlDny) 24 I won't even touch Kraft mac and cheese. Stouffer's beats it into the ground. Posted by: Bat Chain Puller at March 18, 2015 06:49 AM (jpc8l) 25 BB: 5 things conservatives can learn from Netanyahu. The first one is a little weak but the rest are rock solid. The Repukes should learn from this but they won't. http://bit.ly/1GmYiwh Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:50 AM (wlDny) 26 I posted a link yesterday (?) about an amnesty/no borders advocate that Walker had hired. Well after the flack started she has resigned. But I still question that hiring. http://bit.ly/1H0IO4r Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:50 AM (wlDny) 27 RINO Rudy backs Holder II. http://bit.ly/1Ev6ef0 Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:50 AM (wlDny) 28 The next time some stupid libtard says we need a discussion about race, refer them to this "discussion" about race. This is actually typical. http://bit.ly/1BOU3Zo Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:50 AM (wlDny) 29 Bibi's election sends a clear message to us. We need a candidate who makes principled stances on the issues that matter, despite what the MFM and the establishment says. Mazel tov to Bibi and Israel. To Hell with SCOAMF, leftists and Muzzies everywhere. Posted by: J.J. Sefton at March 18, 2015 06:50 AM (St6BJ) 30 Obama stimulus renovation of a PR federal courthouse has resulted in long term closure of all of the bathrooms but one in the building. These people could not organize a beer run by a squad of Marines. http://washex.am/1H0KgUo Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:51 AM (wlDny) 31 Where DC spent its money, both taxed and borrowed in 2014. Can you say defense has fallen to a new low while social programs have skyrocketed? http://dailysign.al/1xdKy7q Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:51 AM (wlDny) 32 Heritage looks at the House's proposed budget. Yes, it balances out after ten years to the so-called desired 18% of GDP number. But they fail to note that the $2T savings counted from killing Obamacare will never happen, even if Republicans had all three branches. Republicans are no more desirous of removing the pigs from the trough than Demoncraps are. http://dailysign.al/1Eo8x0T Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:51 AM (wlDny) 33 New Republican strategy huh? It is full of fail. After a failed attempt to block implementation of the president's executive action on immigration by not funding it through the Department of Homeland Security funding, Congressional Republicans are seeking another strategy to combat the president's action. It wasn't a "failed attempt", it was a damn Boner and RNCe sell-out. Piss on them. "If Republicans opt for a plan, their best bet is a vow not to confirm the president's appeals-court nominees until he rescinds his immigration fiats. This strategy has virtues that others do not," wrote Levey. Surely this guy has more than one functioning brain cell. Does he know he is dealing with a Party that has a lot of Lady Boy Graham's in it? http://dailysign.al/1CrRXAC Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:52 AM (wlDny) 34 Any mention of the perhaps $200 TRILLION in unfunded liabilities?

Unfortunately they are headed to court presided over by a Democrap judge who will not give a shit about the law. I hope they are prepared for a long battle in appellate courts and not only foot dragging by DOJ lawyers, but also anchor dragging. It will have to go to the Supremes where the 4 liberals will surely decide by liberal politics and at least 2 of the others could go either way. http://bit.ly/1Ev8FxZ Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:52 AM (wlDny) 37 The Daily Deals http://amzn.to/1DAqfDb That's it for today folks. Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 06:53 AM (wlDny) 38 In a great thumb in the Choom's eye, Benjamin Netanyahu won the Israeli election yesterday. I think that's going to be the only good news today. But any time Barky gets his pansy ass kicked is good news. Wish I had time for a story. But how about a picture of Angela Lansbury when she was young and hot?

Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at March 18, 2015 06:57 AM (PJOJz) 41 But I still question that hiring. Me too.

All the people who are crunched into the middle of America, the real fat and meat of America, are these racist conservative white people who live on their farms." Can't wait until the fat, white conservatives have their farms seized and are replaced with govt cronies. That will make things better.

Posted by: SE Pa Moron at March 18, 2015 06:59 AM (xQX/f) The "On the Issues" web site has carried him as favorable to the "pathway to citizenship" crap for a long time. That's dog whistle for amnesty. He has recently walked that back but I always question sudden changes in basic philosophy. I doubly question it when they walk it back verbally then perform an action that defies the walk-back. I guess now he has done a second walk-back. I am not impressed.

But we need to "invest" more in infrastructure and education (i.e. - payoffs to cronies). What cannot go on, will not go on. Please G-d. Posted by: J.J.

Posted by: The Smiling Bandit@sven10077 at March 18, 2015 07:11 AM (/4AZU) 58 I can remember back before LBJ when defense spending was always 50% or more of the budget. Most of the rest was farm programs and SS. I thought it was bad then. I was young and naive. Posted by: Vic We Have No Party at March 18, 2015 07:12 AM (wlDny) 59 On the idea of an Article V convention and putting teeth back into the Constitution, I had an idea. Let's create an Oversight Branch that gives its officers a bounty for every wasteful government project and duplicative power or agency that it puts an end to. Make it rewarding to clean house, and house will get cleaned.

The NYT and their dream boy do everything in their power to being down the leader of an allied nation, including illegally funneling US taxpayer money to his opponents, and when they lose their battle, it's Bibi who gets blamed for "bitter division". What a bunch of adolescent crooks. It's your "bitter division" and your surrender caucus. Tehran is grateful Allah has delivered your help, by the way.

Thank you for news Vic & I'm not clicking link in #16 because it will aggravate me. For nearly two months my older brother & me have talked about leaving here. I've done research, asked The Horde questions & I want to put this house on the market & go to Hill Country I'm Texas. He wanted NM or AZ for dry heat but hasn't done ant research on details of cities as I have. I have 2 favorite houses & looked at crime rates, etc. I can't wait to live in a real state, one I'm proud to live in Posted by: Carol at March 18, 2015 07:22 AM (sj3Ax) 77 Someone would figure out a way of coopting/corrupting it.

Posted by: Zoltar at March 18, 2015 07:21 AM (wCxq0) Had that idea in my next post, after Vic pointed that out. 51% of state legislatures voting to do so should be able to disband any Federal agency. If 26 states say NOPE!, it's time to scrap it. Posted by: Cato the Rebel Without a Party at March 18, 2015 07:23 AM (J+mig) 78 When even RR could not halt federal funding of the BS ETV and art crap because of special interest groups lobbying congress you know the entire system is rotten to the core.

I currently live close to the DFW metro, but have kin spread all over the state. My brother is a retired military office and lives in the hill country- Boerne. For my redoubt (to survive the Cheese Zombie Apocalypse) I have in mind 160-240 acres. Hill country land prices run $10,000+ if it is reasonably close to SA or Austin. Can still buy land in eastern OK for around 2 grand an acre.

Well, some places. Not others. The lastest thing is above-ground, usually retrofitted in-home shelter rooms. They work. It's always amazed me humanity builds so poorly. Stick houses in tornado country; flimsy buildings in earthquake areas; beach houses on sticks facing hurricanes. California mansions on a mudslide cliff. I suppose it's playing the odds / avoid the up-front expenses because it's cheaper to rebuild kind of thinking. It does make sort-of sense with tornaodes. Terrible as they are, your odds of being in one are relatively small. Which is real* comforting when your belongings are scattered across a couple of square miles. I live pretty safe from 'naders, in an old concrete house in a bit of a valley, above the flood lines, too.

Yet, he whined that it was not Jewish in that Judaism had a tradition of interacting with its enemies." Nothing's stopping Simon from interacting if he so desires. He can join one of the many groups that does this. But liberals are never ones to shy away from sacrificing others for the sake of their principles, when it costs them nothing.

Building them on poles to allow the storm surge to flow under the house keeps it from destroying it. More houses are destroyed by the storm surge than the wind. My gripe with beach houses is that I have to subsidize their flood insurance, either through the federal flood insurance program or the fact that every time there is a storm the feds pay for houses whether they have insurance or not.

They do not examine the source nor do they challenge the premise. There are occasional weak rhetorical challenges. I carry no brief for George W. Bush, but one thing he did do correctly was to raise the rhetorical banner for education reform. By saying that there was nothing compassionate about leaving kids trapped in flailing, failing public schools. That we were doing those kids no favors by not fixing the broken system. Great rhetoric. Unfortunately not matched by an actual conservative policy challenge with real reforms, one which would break the big government grip on education. Instead, Bush ended up producing a "reform" package working amicably with TED FREAKING KENNEDY, which right there was a flashing red warning sign. The resulting "reforms" have ended up turning into Common Core, and haven't done a damn thing to break the big government stranglehold on the system.

Posted by: J.J. Sefton at March 18, 2015 08:35 AM (St6BJ) 202 By "stick-built houses" you must mean "frame construction." I got a little lecture in Belgium from a masonry trade-school instructor, about how in Belgium they get these strong winds from across the sea, and those little stick American houses would just never stand up there. He was thinking, of course, of house trailers. Now, I own two substantial buildings of concrete block with auxiliary steel framing (Deathtrap In Earthquake!!), and have had an old frame garage knocked down by tornadoes (twice!), so believe me when I tell you that seeing the bare walls still standing when all the windows and the roof are gone is small comfort as you slowly sort across two counties to try to find your birth certificate. What the hell is this, a masonic lodge? Wind ratings are for straight line wind. Solid poured walls with re-rod, above ground, will not save you from catastrophic damage if you happen to be in the path of a tornado. I'm not anti-Sooner: Oklahoma is a beautiful place with a lot of nice people. I have a couple of friends there. It is not the only place with tornadoes. We use them in Ohio to scare the Californians away. So far it is working. When I was in college, the mason's union started putting out bumper stickers that said "Save Our Forests: Build With Masonry." It only took the Carpenters (didn't Karen have a great voice though?) a couple of months to counter with "Support Your Local Alcoholic: Build With Masonry." Because, you know, carpenters don't drink at all, hardly. It is the custom around here, though, to start every major concrete job by pouring a good-luck shot into the mix.
