EMT 12/24/16

Last shopping day before Christmas.

We are done, but I fear what little girl is going to get most of on her second Christmas is unrealistic expectations for all the following ones. We really over-did it. Add in the gifts from friends and family, and there's no room under the tree for me or the wife.

4 Good Morning Morons. Today is Saturday, December 24, 2016, Christmas Eve and my 35th wedding anniversary. On this day in 1943 General Dwight D. Eisenhower was named Supreme Allied Commander for the upcoming Invasion of Normandy.

5 Things are warming up between Putin and Trump. Lets see how things go. I don't expect Putin to try and pull Trump's shorts up over his head the way he has done the Choom every other day. He had this to say about the Dems and he had this to say about the Dems and Clinton.

Russian President Vladimir Putin followed up a warm letter to Donald Trump with a more terse message for U.S. Democrats Friday: Don't blame me for your November drubbing.

I like that. . . "drubbing".

6 Obama has been abusing the hell out of local police departments using a BS lawfare strategy to interfere with local police who are really arresting criminals, most of who turn about to be black. Obama considers this to be racism and like all racist blacks considers blacks being arrested more as a problem caused by whites. (the same way he considers school troublemakers). Well that shit is about to come to an end.

For the last eight years, the Justice Department has sought to reform police practices considered discriminatory by any means necessary, something that has frequently involved the use of a statutory weapon that is little known by the public and even less well understood.

The DOJ"s so-called "consent decree" was established in the aftermath of the Los Angeles Rodney King riots, and it allows the department's Civil Rights Division to sue local police forces that have been found to have "a pattern and practice: of violating people"s rights or the use of excessive force.

And we all know that the Rodney King DOJ abuse was pure BS. He was guilty as hell and what the feds did was a travesty of justice and RINO Bush - 1 was responsible. And the Choom has taken this BS and applied it locally across the board when he has zero authority under the Constitution to interfere with local police. And not only that, but he, the MFM, and the arch criminal Holder have been the chief instigators of riots in the major cities for the last 8 years. I want to see Holder prosecuted.

Fox says Trump was right to try to stop the Choom from tying his hands on Israel and even goes so far as to say he was actually responsible for this behind the scenes stab in the back. But they are both right and wrong. They are right that Trump should have tried to stop it and they are wrong that Trump's hands are tied. This BS UN ruling IS meaningless and good for nothing but PR and Trump can remove that with a simple declaration that is was the act of a departing muzzie asshole we are glad to be shed of. It will not be adhered to by his administration.

But to Vic's point at 13, the abandonment of Israel is a real issue with the millions of Christians, especially Evangelicals, who do vote, and less so with JBBs (Jews by birth).

But at the last minute last night wifey informed me that we would be going over to MIL's this afternoon for "Hors d'oeuvres" and chat, There will be me, wife, MIL, and a woman from their bridge club. So I will be sitting there listening to a gab fest between three women with me the only male present. I am seriously thinking about telling wifey I think I will bow out.

A little snow to shovel before the family arrives tomorrow. We celebrate the SIL birthday today.

I saw the Rockettes on the background news at a friends house yesterday, with the sound off. I think the main reason it got any airplay is the news people could show clips of the Rockettes. Since it was ABC, I would guess they were not explaining how it was all volunteer for the Inaugural.

37 "yiddishkeit"

Would probably translate to "Yiddishness" A non practicing Jew would not have any "yiddishkeit"

My Yiddisch translation abilities are not to be trusted though.

"Yiddishkeit" means Jewishness, but it's a much richer definition than that. Essentially a love of one's faith and living one's life in a righteous manner in the best traditions of Judaism.

That said, look at scum like Chuck Schumer, Noam Chomsky and others and you'll see what I mean.

43 If it was only "abandonment" of Israel that would be one thing, but not only has OChoom abandoned Israel as an ally, but he has attacked them and undermined them continually since he took office. He hates them. And he hates Great Britain and all of out traditional allies as well. And I truly think he has always hated the US. And that was displayed when that buffalo he is married to made her infamous statement about how she had never been proud of the US.

I just wish when those two walking vomitoriums leave the WH they would exit the country and move to Africa or Indonesia. Then maybe we would not have to stomach their ugly faces on TV or hear their putrid gabbling again.

I would have at least a modicum of respect for them, to the extent I ever could, if they and all those who hate this country left for other shores. That would show principle. That's not their mission; it is to destroy us and be our eternal overlords.

Especially our Jewish friends across the pond who just got the bird from SCOAMF. What an asshole.

Also, while we're on the subject of teh Joos, the posting of a really good latke recipe would not be frowned upon. Mine are pretty good, but if you've got grandma's notes lying around, I'm always willing to learn. I make 'em every Christmas Eve!

57 RE - "Yiddishkeit"

Met up last night with an old HS classmate. His parents were both survivors of the camps. Every year throughout my entire school career, they would come and speak to the class body about their experiences.

Even as ignorant, know it all teens, we felt the power of their spirits. Mrs. continues to share the truth.

There is a story behind that wedding date. I was actually working graveyard shift the night we got married. And we had planned to drive down to GA and see my parents at Christmas after my last nightshirt.

They were not too happy about us buying a house and living together before we got married. So I popped the question on the 23rd and we got a license, then got married on the 24th just before I went in to work.

Go easy on the bourbon; leave some in case the neighbors need it...

96 The thing about the SCOAMF is that he's never hid his hatred for America and for Israel, specifically Netanyahu.

It's all been right out there all the time.

The GOP has lacked the spine to directly attack him over it.

99 Two consecutive days off -- Christmas Eve AND Christmas Day, no less. No shopping, no cooking, no travel, no social obligations, no religious duties, no family visits, no symptoms to be subdued or aches to be NSAIDed, no snow to be shoveled. I'm not even hungry.

But my eyes pop open 40 minutes before sunrise and there's no hope of falling back asleep for me. And judging by the depth of the snoring in the next room, my sweetie won't be stirring for another four hours.

Good morning, horde.

But, the oldest boy PCS'd from Okinawa yesterday and will be spending Christmas with the in-laws and his new wife, the Lil Puddin Head Baby is back ashore to spend Christmas with her husband before her next deployment, and the other two kids are spending their Christmas at home with their livin in sin significant others.

125 Mr. Black and I ventured yesterday evening into the wasteland known as Wal-Mart. How I hate that place. But aside from that, I found it interesting that I saw a group of about 6 Arabic-speaking men of various ages come in. There was a "lead" man who was walking backwards while talking to them and pointing things out. I didn't get a nefarious feel to it. Just noting it because Spartanburg, SC (where I am) was one of the destinations for the Jug-Earred F**k's Syrian refugees. I have no doubt that's who I saw.

Much has been made of how the Dems are missing the opportunity to analyze why they got the nut sacks pruned from off their nether regions in this election. In the interest of true bipartisanship, let me offer a possible place to start the rectal exam:

It may be remotely possible that taking extraordinarily extreme positions on EVERY FUCKING THING may have harmed the leftist appeal. Imagine a Venn diagram with the entire population as a center circle and all of the extreme positions circles overlapping the center circle. Some of the extreme positions would be:

Support for gay militancy to the point of causing the closure of traditional business.

Support for the occupy movement

Support for partial birth abortion

Support for extreme responses to climate change

Support for open borders and unrestrained immigration

Support for protecting criminals

Support for ignoring laws

Support for Islam as a religion of peace

Support for a diminished status for the country in the world

Support for failed government programs that may be failures, but express leftist faux compassion (Obamacare)

Support for leftist corruption in government

This is a partial list. If you picture the Venn diagram, you can see that with all of the extreme positions taken, virtually ALL of the population has been alienated by at least some of the extreme positions that have been supported by the left over the last eight years.

Supporting multiple extreme positions doesn't strengthen ones position, it weakens it. Logically, the further from the center your entire position is, the further from most of the population you will wind up.

By the way: You're welcome, but I'm confident you will miss this message and for that, you have my gratitude.

129 Looks like 48 hours of Doctor Who on BBC America. Lots of Season 9, the new/old animated episodes,* many of the Christmas specials and an all-new Christmas special at 9pm Sunday (Eastern Time). There's one shot of Peter Capaldi on a distinctively New York City fire escape, and a masked superhero in the promos. No sign of Pearl Mackie as Bill, but Season 10 will air stateside sometime in 2017.

*A six-episode story from 1966, The Power of the Daleks, was lost when library videotapes were wiped in 1974. It's recreated here from the original audio tracks and new black-and-white animation. (Or are these the much-rumored color animations?)

132 Hey, Mr. Bean, I can relate to the list. Hhow about a wish list for Trump administration? I'll start:
-fire the whole rotten lot at the IRS.
-Executive Order: If federal malfeasants abuse or waste taxpayers and their dollars, it's garnished from their pensions until taxpayers are made whole.
-Review the records of every state attorney general and make appropriate "adjustments."
-overturn all SCOAMF's EO's.
-New rules for the White House press corps. Ban reporters from the Journolist or Wikleaks. Invite a reporter from one of the so-called flyover states to each press conference.
-Defund the UN.
-Defund sanctuary cities.
AIn't this fun?
