15 Test:



Muzzie groups are seeking a million new muzzie voters to prevent Trump or Cruz from becoming President. The fact that they have more than a million new muzzies to go after should scare the bejesus out of Americans. They are urging the use of Mosques to register voters. Do they know this is illegal and should cause the Mosque to lose tax exempt status? Probably, but while Democrats are in charge they are not worried.

32 Good morning!

Today's election forecast:

President - No change from yesterday, Trump still trails Clinton by 11.4.

Senate - Cook has moved 2 races from lean Republican to Toss up. Toomey and Portman are now considered 50/50 to retain their seats. This puts the total number of toss ups at 7. I'm going to give the Dems the half and call it a D+4 pickup.

D+4, Senate becomes tied.

House - No change, D+6, GOP hold.

66 Regarding the Cruz BS (assuming this point is allowed, since it isn't about the election?)...

This is the damned if you do, damned if you don't dilemma that has been put in front of any man running for office, especially on the GOP side.

If you don't hire women and put them in positions of authority, you are a misogynist (see "Binders full of women").

If you do put women in a position of authority, eventually someone will accuse you of having an affair with one of them.

Happened to me back in the 90s. I promoted two women into leadership positions. Within 3 months the rumors were flying that I was having affairs with both of them.

71 I tried to make this comment in the ONT, but got bracketed. Let's see about now.

I've been thinking quite a bit about Trump and the tweet (retweet?) he did yesterday with the side-by-side images of Heidi Cruz and Melania. Let's face it, this man is extremely childish. Dangerously so. So much in fact, that I would now have a very hard time pulling the lever for him in Nov. Ego maniacal, narcissistic and childish has just dialed up to 11 with this man. Second only to the JEF, and only barely. Whatever goodwill he had with me is evaporated after yesterday.

Based on the numbers Cruz needs, its pretty divisive.

92 Over the last several days, Maet has repeatedly asked that primary political stuff not be brought to the ONT. So then he started deleting any such stuff, replacing the comment with [].

No one seems to get upset when the Gardening thread or the Book thread is held to be politics free. Maet puts a lot of time into creating HIS ONTs; why would you begrudge him the same courtesy given to other non-political threads?

At the same time, I do wish Maet had just created an EMT this am when Andy didn't show, so that Vic could have had a place to post the links that he works hard to produce as well.

No one seems to get upset when the Gardening thread or the Book thread is held to be politics free. Maet puts a lot of time into creating HIS ONTs; why would you begrudge him the same courtesy given to other non-political threads?

At the same time, I do wish Maet had just created an EMT this am when Andy didn't show, so that Vic could have had a place to post the links that he works hard to produce as well.

126 If (emphasis on IF) Cruz really has been boinking all these chicks on the side, he's a fucking asshole. Not just for his adultery, but also for not dealing with it before his run for the Presidency. If a year ago he had said "My wife and I went through a very difficult period, I will forever be grateful to her for standing by me, and we are looking ahead to our life together in the White House", or something like that, he might have prevented this seemingly candidacy-ending scandal.

It's ridiculous. Anyone with half a brain knows it's false... I don't think the article is true. I can't see Cruz being like that... All I know is it's not me. There's a reason they don't use my name. They know it's BS.

186 Apparently the Cruz-funded R wing pundit class and others such as Team Rubio knew all about #Cruzsexscandal -- a revelation that has brought Brietbart to its knees last night. A number of other sites are implicated too.

At first I wondered how someone could have the audacity to run for president with at least five shapely skeletons in his closet but it makes sense if you understand Cruz was meant as an anti-establishment splitter from the start as a favor to Jeb.

But that would seem to indicate all those other sites and outlets (HotAir, Twitchy, RedState, Blaze, Brietbart, Townhall,Rush, and Salem's talk show hosts) are not the anti-establishment sites they seem but rather completely complicit in Jeb's coronation plan.

Really makes you question some people's bona fides.

Anyway, I can sense the Ban Hammer. This is officially my last post and visit to this site.

194 Women have a code.

In this code, they know if their husband is rich and they get old or fat, they're headed to the used wives' lot.

They get a couple houses and enough millions to keep them happy the rest of their lives.

Women know and, not only understand this, they agree with it.

Another part of the code goes like this:

If you marry a bible-thumping, snake handling, tongue talking evangelical, he better not screw around.

It's a rule, but it seems the bigger the evangelical, the more they break this rule.

Women don't accept this.

The Big Deal is that Cruz' Brand is "The Guy Who Will Keep His Word with Voters" because it is the right and moral thing to do.


The biggest test of "keeping your word" for "right and moral reasons"-

for most of us is the Wedding Vow.


So, yes, if true, that is a YUUUUGE deal because it severely undercuts-

the whole reason conservatives should vote for him.

290 This Cruz affair stuff just seems waaay too out there for a number of reasons. One of which is that, if true and if he's such a serial adulterer as to have had 5 affairs, it would've long ago turned up. He is also far from being a dumb guy. To have this in his past and run for the presidency, where every pinned-down high school boy haircut is exploited to the nth degree, it's fantastical to think he'd believe he'd get away with it and not be discovered. I'm simply not buying it at this 11th hour.

So Mrs Trump gets attacked, Trump's instinct is to attack the another man's wife... Not stand up and confront the person who went after his wife.

Mrs Cruz gets attacked, Cruz goes directly after the attacker, calling him, rightly, a sniveling coward.

These two reaction tell me who is a man, and who is a sad pathetic child. Trump cannot fix it with money, so he whines.

Take a roll of Thin Mints, wrap in plastic, and put in microwave for 20 sec - until melting together. Toss in freezer, set up choc sauce, cherries, and ice cream. Take out now chilled and solid "roll" of Thin mints, and use heavy kitchen knife to split in half longways, put in dish and top w/ice cream and other toppings.

- Associating Trump with KKK and branding him a racist

- Blaming Trump for violence caused by leftist agitators

- Slut-shaming Melania to bait Trump into a troll war

- Using Brussels as opportunity to attack Trump

etc. etc. etc.

If this whole business is 100% made up, well, that just means Cruz is finally getting dealt the same shitty hand they've been dealing Trump this whole time.

370 The Washington Post:

Millennials like socialism - until they get jobs

Yet millennials tend to reject the actual definition of socialism - government ownership of the means of production, or government running businesses.

So what does socialism actually mean to millennials? Scandinavia.




The snowflake generation has bought every lie the left has feed them.


Yet millennials become averse to social welfare spending if they foot the bill.



So when they're forced to accept responsibility socialism isn't quite so nifty

389 If the story is true, it will grow legs, and the 'real' news networks will pick it up. If it's false, the assumption that Trump is pushing it doesn't make a lot of sense, as it would hurt him, not Cruz.

I think it's more likely, that if the story is fake, or true, that it's being pushed by the GOPe, which needs to delegitimize Cruz prior to the convention. Doing so would make it appear reasonable to give the nomination to someone else.

"See! She confirms it! It must be true!"

Not that anyone would have a vested interest in this rumor swirling around right now. *rolls eyes*

396 "If you marry a bible-thumping, snake handling, tongue talking evangelical, he better not screw around."

This is true. And it may explain Heidi Cruz's symptoms of depression. She was raised Seventh Day Adventist. No snake handling, but they tend to be quite upright morally. Wives are expected to obey their husbands, and divorce is frowned upon. Which put Heidi in a no-win situation. I hope she doesn't end up as collateral damage in this whole situation.

Do not underestimate Katshit's chances.


If this goes to a Brokered Convention, and he has shown some strength in Blue States-

he will probably get the nod.

"The Big Book of GOPe and Donor Class Wet Dreams'

429 Back in 2008, John Nolte @Breitbart summed up the MSM's approach to Palin coverage as the tabloidization of her and her family. The idea was that unlike the calm, reverential coverage they give Dems - such as "People" having a cover story of the loving Obama marriage (with cute, "candid" shots of the family doing sweet things together) - they treated each story of the Palins as it they were the Kardashians. Thee titillating headlines insinuating a juicy family drama, the ugly shots of Palin, creating an image that it is a 24/7 clown-show to be anywhere near them.

I think this is *exactly* what they're doing to Trump and Cruz. Yes, Trump is contributing to it big time, but it is being amped up to 11 so that GOP voters will find them so repellent they will gladly accept someone fresh and new as the replacement candidate, or they'll stay at home.

Meanwhile, Hillary, whose life is a felonious clown-show, is treated like a well-respected elder statesman, ready to put her steady hand on the wheel.

Under current rules that require a majority of delegates from 8 states and old rules that required a plurality of delegates from 5 states, Kasich will not even be eligible to be considered.
Unless the remainder of the primary states go Kasich crazy, he will not be a factor at the convention.

We're on a race, the race is Trump vs. Gope. If Trump doesn't win, none of these clowns who have or are still in the race are going to be the nominee. Gope will select its own, from its own.

442 Re: the numbers article about 46% of Muslims wanting Sharia law to be all or part of American law. Here is the immigration problem that no one wants to talk about. It's not just Muslims. In the olden days, we had this wild idea about people immigrating to a country and both parties fully understanding that American law applied to them. Yeah, we're a big melting pot of cultures and ideas, but there was this Constitution thing that was the law of the land.

No one believes that anymore. People coming here expect their own special law. All three branches of government have ceded their responsibilities for writing, passing, and enforcing laws to lobbyists and agencies full of unelected union workers. The courts, charged with interpreting law and making sure it squares with the constitution have ceded their responsibilities to lobbyists and agencies as well. If a citizen was to be convicted or punished under the law, it was decided by a jury of his peers. Now it's decided by those same agencies who can fine and prosecute you completely independently of law and based on their own interpretation of whatever policy they dream up and without any expectation of a trial or jury. If the IRS deems that you've erred on your taxes, they will seize your stuff and send you a bill full of penalties and interests while you have limited to no standing to bring them into court if it (as it usually does) turn out to be their error. Even then, you will receive no damages for the results of their seizure of your asset without a warrant, trial, or jury award. You might get part of what they stole back. Eventually.

Equal protection is a myth. What laws are still passed by congress and signed by the president are specifically created to favor a specific demographic group. Does the Lilly Ledbetter Act say "all people are entitled to the same wages for the same work" (as if anyone could find anything in the constitution that gives the federal government authority to dictate terms of an employment relationship)? No, it grants women, specifically, new "rights" that are not afforded to anyone else and creates a guilty until proven innocent system of compliance where employers, from now until the end of days, must maintain documentation to affirm their innocence of crimes that don't really exist. Wages are no longer a reward for results that benefit both parties. They are treated like and entitlement. Men are now required, by law, to fund medical care that does not apply to their anatomy.

Fine. I welcome Sharia law. Implement it in it's full glory so our leaders can brag yet again about how open and loving they are of the "religion of piece" while they continue to prosecute Christians for their faith and label Christians as terrorists in government documents. I look forward to the advocates of the Lilly Ledbetter act being forced to wear burkas and the inclusion of clitorectomies as mandatory procedures under Obamacare.

It happens in churches, or many places where power and trust are commingled. JFK allegedly had Soviet spies for mistresses ... then alas, there was Mary Jo Kopechne.

But back to the white trash American neighborhoods that deserve to die because they are all on meth ... this guy responds. Ian Fletcher is THE most fluent academic I've read on dismantling the "free trade" myth.

"it certainly wasn't Joe Sixpack who dreamed up NAFTA. Or Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China. Or the U.S. government's acquiescence to currency manipulation from Berlin to Beijing. Or trade agreements for the multinationals, by the multinationals, of the multinationals.

Laying these problems at his door is a sick joke."

The GOPe played one foul trick after another to win primaries or even scre over the actual primary winners (Sen Cokebear)

They tried one anointed one after another and failed.

They dragged out Romney who attacked trump, threw a stale cookie at Cruz, then announced that he would deign to take the nomination if it was giftwrapped, THEN campaigned for katshit, THEN announced that he was voting for. Cruz in Utah.

Lady Lindsey went from a bid for Prex (who in Hell knows why) then wishing Cruz dead. Then supporting him...cause that makes sense. While saying that he prefers katshit.

And the GOPe is sending out 'rules are for losers' announcements to the state committees.

So our presumptive candidate is a yutz from Ohio using a brain cell borowed from Joe Biden

As has been pointed out many times, the rules committee sets the rules at the start of the convention.

The base screamed, LIB, away with the GOP, the GOP is dead to me. Insert Marco Rubio, John McCain, Jeff Flake in the G of 8. It was the beginning of the end.

Enter Donald Trump, democrat in republican clothing. The GOP is doomed IMHO whether or not he get's the nomination.

I see one sad thing about the national GOP dying. That is the state GOP legislatures have been doing a good job. Take my state of WI for example. Union reforms, a right to work state now, carry and conceal. The Dems had stopped that for years.
The national party does have coat tails. Losing the senate, house and wh will hurt, hurt bad. But, I've been able to take solace in WI turning right over the past 6 years. Hate to see it come to an end now

553 Headline: Social media raises risk of depression.

One study (widely cited by numerous news media outlets) shows that people who spend a great deal of time on social media display symptoms of depression.

Daily Mail : http://preview.tinyurl.com/hrhpndj

The Daily Mail article asks the question, does social media cause the depression, or do people who are depressed go to social media looking for relief?

Newsmax : http://preview.tinyurl.com/gljzl3b

More versions of this ground breaking, fast moving story are easily found by searching for 'social media depression study'.

So if social media is making you depressed, it makes me depressed, one should avoid social media.

If you are depressed, as I often am, you should avoid social media.

At first I didn't think this was the Trump people pushing it because of Pierson's involvement, but looks like that isn't true. The Trump campaign is using one of the professional social media firms to push the "story of the day" for awhile now. Today the story is #cruzsexscandal. Since the trolls are out in force pushing the story, that leads back to Trump campaign, since he's the only one who has been using this tactic.

For those who game out political scenarios, here is one for you...

Yes, as incredibly stupid as the GOPe is, they do realize that if they pull a fast one in the convention, they lose a big chunk of the voters.

So, how do they pull it off?

How about this: Just prior to the Wisconsin primary, Walker makes a surprise endorsement of Trump.

He does this with the knowledge that his endorsement isn't going to move any significant portion of votes and with the full clandestine approval of the GOPe.

His endorsement is made so that when the GOPe changes the rules and wants to nominate someone who Trump's supporters will agree to go with, Walker comes out as someone that was on Trump's side "when it mattered".

Sure makes more sense than endorsing (I Fuck Anything In a Skirt) Cruz or Kasich.

626 There is one simple trick to avoid the barrell.

When you notice that in the heat of the moment you have mistyped a closing tag :

First - do nothing, especially on a fast moving thread. Most importantly when the font style leaks into the nic and following comments. Remain silent

Then, while everyone is trying, desperately, to close the open tag, and determine who the offender might be :

Innocently Change the subject to something innocuous, something the Morons will pick up and savage like Shih Tzus on a plush toy.

Then quietly log off, change your ip and nic, and pretend it wasn't you what done it, all wide eyed and innocent.

Trumps personal fellater at BB Matt Boyle played a lead in kneecapping Walker back in the early primary days and was more than happy to attack Walker in favor of Trump with Wisconsin Democrat talking points so take any grain of salt when Walker is suddenly quoted by the hacks at BB.

Walker was interviewed here in Milwaukee earlier in the week and has been clear since back when he got out that the Republican party has to rally behind someone to get Trump out of the race.

His endorsement will be coming after Easter and I can guarantee you it will not be Trump.

Walker has said that once Trump is blocked from the auto nomination that the convention could bring a candidate that is currently not even in the race.

681 Whoa - sanity from an actor?

Our society is based on a Christian structure. If you take those
religious tenets away, then anything goes and it will become terrible - and you usually get into trouble....

Yes, you can be in love and raise a family wonderfully by not being
married, but actually marriage does give us a strength, because it's
quite hard to get out of, and so it makes us fight more to keep it
together....

Abortion harms a woman - it's a tremendous mental attack, and physical,
sometimes. But we seem to get that muddled. In a way, thank God the
Catholic church does say we won't allow it, because otherwise nobody's
saying that it's a sin."

Remember her rambling addled "victory speech" when she thought she had beaten Prosser? Hilarious and it should have ended her political career. But idiot lefties always live to run another day in this state.

735 Hey Donna.

I guess the one positive about there still being a primary going on here in WI is the fact that Republicans will be out in force...I have to think that Bradley is going to benefit from that.

I think that JS hit job on Bradley a couple of weeks ago may have been the final catalyst needed to get our side worked up properly.

That being said all I can say is thank God I am up in ozaukee County because there is a very good chance that you'll have both Barrett and Larson in charge in Milwaukee and that is going to turn that area into a bigger shitshow than it already is.

Imagine if downtown wasn't going through a development renaissance right now...the whole area would be a bankrupt shithole.

My 72 year old mom and I sat out on my porch last night, drinking a fair amount of adult beverages, listening to 70's music and talking about all the stupid things we did when we were drunk. It was fun, of course both of us are a little green around the gills today, but I'd say it was worth it.

At any rate, I had an internship with a company in Mequon when I was in college (2004). Lived way west of the city off of I-94. Avoided the city limits like the plague, drove around the city completely. Don't know how Marquette can keep recruiting people.

905 831 FYI I plan to vote for Cruz, but will vote Trumpbif he pulls it off. I'm just not blissfully deluded about it. The NE has pictures of 5 women. Not one. 5. Each picture is capable of being puzzled out such that 3/5 are identified. That lead to other connections like money changing hands, certain Twitter posts going dead, etc. REAL investigative journalists research this stuff, they don't bury it because it hurts their guy.

I support due process, which is why I did not jump all over Trump's minion that supposedly brutally assaulted a Woman by grabbing her arm and pushing her to the side. So, I expect to maintain attention on this story to see how it develops. Now Cruz may bring a civil lawsuit, or some of the women so alleged may bring a civil lawsuit, but that involves Discovery and Truth is a defense to any defamation. Remember Agent K told us the National Enquirer is the best investigative journalism on the planet. Just ask John Edwards.

This is not a claim of murder, it's a claim of multiple Affairs. People on this very blog comment about how incestuous the DC Beltway is, and that is simply by pointing to all the people who used to work and be married to each other. You are not even taking into consideration the amount of flings and ongoing Affairs that occur. And since they all deal with the same people in the same Circle, these things are bound to happen. For the most part, these indiscretions may be kept Under Wraps out of professional courtesy, until a person like Trump, whose own infidelities are well known and documented, blows that secrecy out of the water.

I await further Evidence before we know the truth for certain. But I am also not a stupid man, and given what I've seen thus far, I would not be surprised if it turns out to be true, even in part.

Trump will do anything to win, no matter how immoral, low, and repugnant it is. He would strap the head Ewok to the front of an RV and race through the desert if he thought that would give him an advantage. He will slander another's spouse. He would spread rumors.

Political philosophy has a limited overlap to actual politics, and Trump does not do philosophy. Principled positions such as loving the Constitution (but not in that way!) are foreign to the man. He only knows victory.

That is an observation, not an endorsement.

The People Mover. It gets used during football and hockey games and somewhat during the day.

971 Okay the courthouse thing made me think.

The courthouse in my town has very little security. There are multiple entrances, two public entrances, one in front and one in the back that goes through the basement. They do have cameras.

BUT, you could enter the building and make it from the entrance to the top floor without a soul seeing you. No metal detectors, no security. It is a very sleepy little courthouse.

I can't decide if I find it ridiculously charming that my town is still like this. Or fearful everytime I go in the building at how easy it would be for a bad guy to cause major problems.

Yes. In "Titus." Anthony Hopkins (Titus) informing Jessica Lange (Tamora) that she's eating her sons, Chiron and Demetrius, who've been murdered and baked into pies. "I will grind your bones to dust/And with your blood and it I'll make a paste/And of the paste a coffin I will rear..."

The cute French bistro dining music takes the coolness factor to 11. Fava beans and Chianti pales by comparison.

You "heard" about it, but it wasn't something the National Enquirer wrote about on their front page or was a topic of conversation outside of people in the DC corridor.

Thurmond's black "love child" was kept hidden until after he was gone.

My point is, the fact nobody "knows" about these allegations until now from Cruz is not much evidence that it can't be true.

Newt Gingrich was fucking his mistress in the middle of an impeachment trial. We didn't find out about that until he was no longer Speaker of the House.

This is NOT Trump's doing. Rubio's supporters brought this up several weeks ago and looked for a news outlet to cover. Don't you think Trump would've encouraged NE to put this news out BEFORE Utah primary? I would think so.

Trump does not do dirty stuff behind the scenes, he does it all out in the open for people to see. Don't you wonder why Dr. Carson went with Trump? My guess is not only the crap that went on in Iowa under Cruz's guidance, but the offers of money and positions to get out of the race. Trump seems to be the only one who is actually honest about who he is and his motives.
