Baltimore is close to 300 dead, celebrations are planned for this occasion? It is the 288th homicide this year, putting the city well on pace to reach 300 homicides for the first time since the 1990s. Two other people were shot in Northwest Baltimore later Wednesday night, police said.

Every Trump article I read groups hispanics with illegal immigrants. Brought to us by the same media that doesn't consider deductibles to be a cost of health insurance.

I was thinking about Bevin and KYnect the obamacare of Kentucky last night and his promise to dismantle it if he won. At first I was thinking that nothing was going to happen because he had to go through the House and that is heavily Dem and will never go for anything he proposes, but then I remembered that in setting up obamacare here the previous Governor did it without a law being written by the House, he just set aside some unused money and instituted a "fee" on insurance companies, took the Federal money and presto! he had Obamacare for Kentucky.
There is no law to overturn or de-funding bill to get through a hostile State House, if the old Governor could wave his magic wand and create ocare, then the new Governor can unwave that same wand and poof! Now I know why this mornings Lexington paper has "Bevin is going to kill people by taking away their health care" stories all over the front page.

Forget SNL. Next year's biggest event will be the GOP convention. If Cruz/Trump/Carson are in the lead - no matter by how big a margin - the establishment is going to cook up some rule changes to steal it from them.

>>>>Do we have bigger pens and phones than the Democrats?
More importantly, do we stoop to lawlessness in order to fight lawlessness? I say, war. No rules. Just win it. . . .The Dems here are deathly afraid of what Bevin is going to do, they are in complete panic mode and making speeches all over the State about the evil Bevin and what he had better not do. They are already calling him a murderer for taking away grandmas health insurance and tossing hundred's of thousands of people out into the street, taking food off of their tables, blah, etc. It is entertaining.

What else are they hiding? . . .That's because the pollsters are lazy and incompetent, they had the same errors with Grimes and McConnell, they were off 14 points then. They continually only sample people in Louisville and Lexington which are heavily Democrat and they very rarely go out into the rural parts of Kentucky which is overwhelmingly Republican and has enough votes to counter both of those Cities.

Mayor Parker's rage at having her Houston Equal Rights Ordinance bitch slapped by the voters is truly a joy to see. She claims that the opposition waged a dirty campaign full of lies. No, all the lies - as they almost always are - were on the progressive side. It wasn't the opposition ads that caused 61% of Houstonians to vote against you - it was the fact that this is Texas, and most people here are just not bat shit crazy.
The only downside of the election is that the terms of office got expanded by a diabolically worded proposition that tricked enough people into voting for it by pretending to institute term limits (which already existed). They got the terms expanded from 2 each three year terms to 2 each 4 year terms. So 8 years for each horrible mayor to do damage instead of 6.

Don't you get the feeling the Democrat armed youth are really warming up to something significant?

I asked a question in a thread last night and got a response I didn't see then:
Just a question? When does Milo Yanniapolis or however you spell it turn into Andrew Sullivan. You just know he will. Posted by: blaster Not even remotely connected. Sullivan was never a conservative. Just temporarily butt-struck by Bush's response to 9/11. Milo's a different cat entirely. Could he spin on a dime and be just another jack-booted, left turn twerker? Sure. But why? It's no growth industry to Vox haul it along. That isn't how I recall it - Sullivan was a kind of Charles Cooke type, a Brit conservative. He was conservative before 9/11. Again, as I recall it, he went total fascist over the Bush campaign in 2004 taking up same sex marriage - as in against it. Posted by: blaster at November 05, 2015 07:15 AM (2Ocf1) 74

I'm not asking for perfection, or Total Ideological Purity. I'm not holding Cruzer to a higher standard than I would anyone who wants my electoral support.

There's a number of variables that increase the odds of the WH flipping party. 1. Length of time current party in power has held office. Advantage, Republicans. 2.

This, plus the fact that there are some of us who consider illegal and legal immigration to be two separate issues, and aren't all that concerned about legal immigrants. So Cruz's position on the matter doesn't bother me a whit. The Corker Amendment; I know this goes against the orthodoxy of the blog, but I am not convinced that it was the betrayal that so many here . The Iran deal was going to happen regardless of what the Senate did, if for no other reason than it involved a bunch of European countries as well as the US, plus the legal background to the original sanctions was murky enough that Obama and company would have been able to wiggle around any vote against ratification of the not-technically-a-treaty and might even be within the law to do so. So, while I don't necessarily agree that it was the best approach to the situation I do think that at the very least there was a pretty good argument in its favor. In fact, it could be considered a protest vote of the kind that people are criticizing Cruz for not bother with in other situations... Posted by: Grey Fox at November 05, 2015 07:22 AM (bZ7mE) 88

28 Forget SNL. Next year's biggest event will be the GOP convention. If Cruz/Trump/Carson are in the lead - no matter by how big a margin - the establishment is going to cook up some rule changes to steal it from them.
I would wager good money on that, if I had any. You are right, but all 3 men I am sure are aware of this and will go to war against GOPe if they need to. If he feels he has been screwed by GOPe Trump almost certainly will go 3d party just to pay back. That prospect may just prevent the dirty trickery which you correctly anticipate.

Demand tolerance from traditional people, but be completely intolerant of their standards. Make them accept the leftist standard, by coercion and by law if possible. Or for Obama and Hillary, just break our laws. They say Russia has spent most of their KGB type money on subversion, not just spying.

"stealing money from your savings accounts"
That is done by inflation. Before the Fed a quarter would buy $20 to $50 dollars of goods and services. The Fed is totally captured by their own dogma. Negative interest rates are deflationary but the Fed thinks negative rates are inflationary. They use to bleed people who were sick. Same thing. Money velocity will become negative as people buy real goods. This effect is what made Kennedy lower income taxes. eg 100% of nothing is still nothing.

He says, LBJ was a bit distraught, but mentions that he mumbled "he wanted to do at least something to help the American people and not the party."

Whether it is a coordinated effort, a coincidence, metaphysics - whatever; patriotism (or a sense of nationalism), that sense, is trying to be destroyed. Wholesale invasion in the entire western world caused by apparent guilt at the progress it has given the world, seems to be fueling the attempt. People are naturally tribal, I think, and what is going on (in my weak mind) is at odds with nature.

"That show should have been cancelled at least 30 years ago"
Without SNL how would we know what is acceptable humor? I mean, we can't just make jokes and laugh about things that are really funny. People might get hurt. Posted by: George Orwell de Leon at November 05, 2015 08:59 AM (1BQGO) 253

FS, thank you so much for the kind words, the prayers and the prayer line. And Anna was kind enough to give you a link to my book, which is available as both Kindle and paperback. Thanks again to all of you who offered prayers or encouragement yesterday. It's an odd feeling to "know" people on line better than in person, but that's the nature of the web these days. As far as my own situation, I know what I need to do; it's having the wisdom to find the right road and strength to take it. I appreciate you keeping me in your thoughts, as I keep you in mine. And now, a story. This is the famous operatic contralto Ernestine Schumann-Heink: https://goo.gl/8MDeyU It seems that she was performing at a Met gala sometime in the 1920s. Being of a rather pronounced avoirdupois, she got stuck between a couple of flats backstage as she was making her way along. A helpful stagehand pulled her out and suggested, "Madame, you should have gone through sideways." "Young man," the singer smiled, "I have no sideways!"

"I still like the idea of not torpedoing Hospital Ships"
The left paints big red crosses on every single vessel they own. That's the entire point of political correctness: attacking them is illegitimate. Blow up everything. Burn it all down. Total destruction. It's the only way. Posted by: Apostate at November 05, 2015 09:02 AM (zaVwL) 257

No, no, no. It's the Red-Necks from FredNeck (Fredrick, Md.) driving around in their F-150s, dualied out, flying the CBF while the whole time taking pot-shots at the African American males as they leave their classes at the Community College, making their way over to the many Orphanages that they are currently painting, and the Soup Kitchens they help to man.

Japan celebrates halloween!
Seriously? Posted by: Hayfield Volkovski at November 05, 2015 08:44 AM (JuTpo) Yes!!! And like a lot of things Japanese, it is- simultaneously hilarious and totally awesome. This year they had a huge Star Wars themed Costume Ball and Halloween parade in Shibuya(the young people's section of Tokyo). You can find it online. And it wasn't half-assed at all. They. Went. All. The. Way. By the way, they also do Christmas (not the same way, of course)- and depending on where you are- it can look like the most nostalgic American Christmas decorations evah. Enough to get dust in our eyes. Posted by: naturalfake at November 05, 2015 09:03 AM (KUa85) 261

Russian nuclear forces conducted a large-scale exercise last week that included test firings of several long-range missiles along with dual-capable shorter range ballistic and cruise missiles, according to U.S. officials.
The U.S. Strategic Command, meanwhile, is conducting a similar nuclear command and control exercise, but without firing any nuclear missiles. Well to be honest the russians have to really fire theirs since their's tend to go boom more often when light up....Just saying Posted by: Nevergiveup at November 05, 2015 09:06 AM (gf8BH) 265

SNL needs all in the audience to sign an agreement that if they interrupt the performance with Trump hate, they agree to pay $20K in damages. I'd guess there is legal recourse against someone damaging their SNL product deliberately, for money. Maybe not.
It really does seem possible Trump will win a lot of the Hispanic vote and the black vote, even some union vote with his "America First" slogans. Posted by: Illiniwek at November 05, 2015 09:10 AM (1XT+t) 274

In the James Clavell novels Tai-pan and Shogun there is the offhand comment about the european custom of 'promenade' where they would dress up in their finest European fashion and go out for a walk to be seen and admired.

New anti-gun documentary called "The Armor of Light" is being flacked as a Disney movie, so I was all geared up to see a Disney World boycott. Turns out it's Abigail Disney ("philanthropist") and her Fork Films which has a long roster of Wymynz Peace flicks. She's Roy's granddaughter.
Big Diz is kinda, sorta anti-gun, but didn't think they'd touch that one this season. Posted by: Stringer Davis at November 05, 2015 09:11 AM (xq1UY) 277

Well, they may not have a 4th of July, however-
they do have a long tradition of summer hanabi (fireworks). And you can pretty much buy them anywhere to set off your own self- unlike most places here in the US. And the YUUUUGE fireworks displays by the major cities like Tokyo or even, Hiroshima- absolutely put to shame any 4th of July fireworks displays that I've seen here in the US. Plus, beer, good food, and polite, clean crowds- what's not to like? Posted by: naturalfake at November 05, 2015 09:20 AM (KUa85) 281
Whether it is a coordinated effort, a coincidence, metaphysics - whatever; patriotism (or a sense of nationalism), that sense, is trying to be destroyed. Wholesale invasion in the entire western world caused by apparent guilt at the progress it has given the world, seems to be fueling the attempt. People are naturally tribal, I think, and what is going on (in my weak mind) is at odds with nature. It's analogue (again - weak mind) is the Tower of Babel, and I can't see how this attempt at deunification of national identities (tribes) will fair any better. Of course that may be the intent.
Posted by: Mr Macca Bean --- I think part of it is something akin to survivor guilt. Liberals feel guilty about developing the most civil, advanced, humane civilization, and they feel guilty for that. But not all societies are like that. Israel still has a survival instinct. That's why so many suicidal liberal elites hate it. Personally, I think survivor guilt is irrational and pathological. It is false guilt. Of course.other liberals are driven by spite and envy (Alinsky). They groom this guilt in order to get societies to accede to their own destruction.

Gratz. Son #2 visited last weekend. Was trying to decide between going back to EMT school for a higher level certification, or learning welding, or learning auto mechanicstry. I told him, "Be awesome, do all three." Son #3 who is kind of a f--kup needed money to get out of Florida after his job dried up. We gave him solid advice about what to do next, which he has rejected. Sigh. Posted by: V the K at November 05, 2015 09:23 AM (O7MnT) 283

It's from a radio ministry here in NJ (Loving Grace/Let's Talk about Jesus" which I support when I can. 1-800-939-5825 Posted by: FenelonSpoke at November 05, 2015 11:59 AM (No/ki) 289
Please continue to keep MPPPP in prayer.
Here's my proposal. I didn't ask MPPP's permission to propose this, so I hope it's o.k. :^) For those who can, maybe we could take tomorrow to be a "Bless MPPPP Day" in which if we can, we order his book. It comes highly recommended by our brother and friend in a box, Backwards Boy. :^) Maybe next week we can bless Anna Puma on her book.
