1 Good Morning Morons; today is Sunday, March 25, 2018. On this day in 1911 the infamous Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in NYC occurred killing 146 garment workers. This fire lead to the creation of fire codes throughout the US.

2 Apparently Trump cared more about getting the blame from the MFM than he did his voting base. When is he going to get some advisers with a brain? The MFM is going to attack him 24/7 regardless of what he does.

3 The DC mayor should sue the DNC and Soros to make them pay for cleaning up after all those Democrat marchers pushing gun control. But since he is a Democrat that will not happen. The taxpayers will foot the bill. And they are already footing the bill for armed security to protect all those gun grabbing assholes.

A year earlier, in a tiny town in Hungary called Okorito-fulpos, over 300 people were killed when the barn they were in during a large celebration caught fire and burned. Believe it or not, along with the Triangle fire, it was also the catalyst so to speak for fire regulations in the US and Europe.
And momma told me the barn was owned by my grandmother's family.

Good morning.

So a celebrity (Lennon) gets gunned down by a publicity seeking psycho and now we need to disarm law abiding citizens? Is that what you're proposing Paul, or something else? What about "Live and let live"?

34 Good Sunday Morning Horde.

On this day in 1968, the last episode of The Monkees' TV show aired. It was titled "The Frodis Caper," and was directed by Micky Dolenz.

One of the interesting things about this last episode is in the beginning you hear The Beatles song "Good Morning, Good Morning". This was the very first time that The Beatles allowed one of their song to be used for a non-Beatles project.

The last original episode of The Monkees -- 50 years ago tonight.

_______________

Was there ever any doubt?

All of Obama's policies were based on bullshit studies. Obamacare was justified by the left on the basis of Fauxcahontas' bullshit academic writings that concluded that most bankruptcies in the U.S. are caused by unpaid medical bills. Warren's phony "scholarship" has been debunked many times by actual, reputable scholars, but it didn't matter to the left. It felt like it should be true, so therefore it was true, and they were never going to accept that it was not.

92 Morning all.

Bitter clinger dropped this in the ONT:

My daughter asked me tonight "Dad, why is the antagonist in high school movies always a blonde cheerleader? The only bully in my grade is a black girl that got held back a year."

I didn't really know what to say. I asked her what she thought. She said "I think it's because the people that make movies are mad because they weren't as popular as blonde cheerleaders or couldn't date a cheerleader."

I too am tired of the cheerleader/jock/rich WASP portrayed as the bully in high school, and I agree it is whiny Beta writers who are perpetuating this tired trope.

I was ("was". Ha!) a bespectacled nerd in HS and got along fine with cheerleaders, jocks, geeks, grinds, and burnouts. Bullies come in all shapes and sizes, so how about some diversity?

I've posted about this here before, yet it goes unnoticed in media and social circles how much it's costing the taxpayers (us) to cater to transgenders in the Army (as an example.)

My Team has spent millions of dollars to re-code software and implement bone-headed policies to accommodate these people. A grand total, thus far, of less than a dozen.

The same is true for the so-called dreamers who enlist. Their number, per year, is less than 50. Yet systems and policies must change because diversity.

167 "The "March for our lives" nonsense just cemented the 2018 election for the Republicans."

As I had mentioned earlier, while the Baltimore news is banging the drums non-stop about this little collection of Fascists, our local social media is very silent on the topic.

Nobody is bragging about attending.
Nobody is talking about how it's "Our Time"

And just as telling, a local candidate for office who was very much present on our social media about gun control, has completely disappeared from commenting on the topic.

I suspect that this is not playing well in the polls.

The polls that we don't have access to.

173 March for our Lives goes international,...

"Aiko Smith took a picture of her daughter Lucia, 6, holding up a sign saying 'Your right to guns. My right to life. Choose'".

It's almost as if they were framing the issue dishonestly, as if there were only one solution.

Heh...

The Lefties have already stated their stand on an infant's Right to Life: the infant doesn't have one. Guess what, Aiko, your buddies say that the decision whether Lucia lived or died was yours, not mine. Therefore, the decision whether I own a firearm is mine, not yours.

Meanwhile the Democrats are motivated by pure hate, and hate is a powerful motivator.

176 From my, my kids, and my friends combined experiences, the HS bullies were overwhelmingly from the ranks of the ones who gained size and strength before their peers. And they learn the psychology of intimidation (most people will cower just to get away from immediate danger) far earlier than the emotional maturity that restrains physical intimidation.

Where i grew up, it was gangs of Hispanics (mustaches at 12!) and individual blacks (and their toadies) who intimidated in HS. The jocks did later.

177 121 Paul dreams at night of albums like Walls and Bridges. Just sayin. I do agree with the above commenter about Harrison as the true forgotten of the group - really too young at the time to have been exposed to all that stuff, but his work in the 80's was brilliant. That no doubt pissed Paul off even more as he was stuck doing stupid duets with Michael Jackson. Last of the rant, Paul is easily the most gifted creator of melodies and hook lines in the last several decades and his catalog is mostly garbage - what a waste.

178 Glad to see Gannett is consolidating their printing plants (closing) into one plant that will print all their various city papers in one place. Then trucking the papers to the various cities. Nothing like up to date news, printed a day or two ago.
Posted by: Colin

Yep. Our local paper which has been going downhill was bought from the original founding family a few years ago. They consolidated and are now printing about 100 miles away.

Now, if a Thunder basketball game tips off at 8:00 CST, there's no report of it in the paper the next day.

183 102 - Yes. Larry Correia touched on this in a recent post about poverty and cooking - the left is fixated on edge cases instead of having general rules that cover 90-99% of situations and being flexible with said edge cases. This rigid mentality shows up everywhere from their policy prescriptions to their language policing.

On that last, I read an advice column that is good despite being the work of a leftist, and recently, literally half the comments have been leftists policing each other on the latest language-based outrages (apparently now we're not supposed to say "transwoman"? Also, using "poly" as an abbreviation for polyamory is racist because Polynesians already claimed it I SWEAR I AM NOT MAKING THAT UP).

Eh.

As much as I hate the spending bill signing,

I think Trump has a longer view and realizes that both the Chinese and Russians are on the march-

becuz Obama did his level best to damage the military for 8 years.

China for sure is building up to a confrontation, in the 2020s I'm guessing, where they can back down the US. Their Pacific Artificial Island Build-up is part of that. They too, take the longer view.

What I think Trump didn't expect is how those Washington A-holes would hold the nation's defensive capabilities for ransom.

Not a bit of patriotism among the Congressional Scumbags.

I guess their Chinese Overlords pay quite well. And according to Mark Levin...very, very well.

191 To sway ideas for solutions to problems you need a welcoming persona, one which invites an adversary to the debate with a sense of we can correct this thing together.

Sucessful policitans have this trait. Reagan, Bill Clinton, both Bush's, Jack Kennedy, Trump.
Unsucessful lack this talent: Hillary, Kerry, McCain.

This Hogg character is no doubt won of the most dour indiviguals I have ever seen in the arena. The NRA should be glad he is out there making a fuss. He is a mean sour person much like a bully would be.

193 Being a military brat exposed me to a wide range of bullies - the "Chucs" in southern New Mexico in junior high and the "Bros" in central Alabama later. Went to HS overseas and most of the would be bullies were too busy getting high to play the part. At least I learned how to fight anyway.

196 32 "Aiko Smith took a picture of her daughter Lucia, 6, holding up a sign saying 'Your right to guns. My right to life. Choose'".

It's almost as if they were framing the issue dishonestly, as if there were only one solution.

Steve and Cold Bear, I think it is being deliberately framed, for the purpose of changing the meaning of "choose life".

One of the FL kids in NY's rally gave a speech that kept contrasting "NRA chooses death but we choose life".

I saw some news coverage last night that referred to it as the "March for Life" as opposed to "March for Our Lives".

The March for Life every January gets little MSM coverage, so for many, this new show will become the "real" thing.

And since, according to Ds and PP, "choose life" is a hateful slogan demeaning women and really all about "anti choice", then the phrase "choose life" will become the catchphrase of anti-gunners.

No state will even have to change the "choose life" license plates--they all just have smiling children on them anyway.

The CHILDREN.

Yes, that's true. Oddly, on their first album "Please Please Me" all the songwriting credits were McCartney/Lennon. After that it was Lennon/McCartney.

200 I want to go find the artical ( hinted to by another blogger) the the opinion President Trump had to sign the Bloated Omnibus bill was it was passed by both sides of the aisle, it would put it all on him if he vetoed it. Now we know there is no harm done shutting down the government but Democrats and their media outlets have screamed its the end of the country so he was screwed by them.
