1 Morning!

2 Good Morning Morons today is Saturday, January 19, 2019. On this day one year ago the Communists in Congress were threatening to block the Government funding bill unless Trump gave amnesty to the so-called Dreamers. So this government shutdown shit is not new for them.

4 And the Dallas Morning News brings back that same debunked argument for this round of shutdown. Claims a 'compromise', there's that word again, would give citizenship to the 'dreamers' in return for funding for the wall would work because the 'people' support giving citizenship to the 'dreamers'. Which is a lie.

5 Maddog Mueller's office calls the Buzzfeed report that Trump told Cohen to lie to congress is a lie.


Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office on Friday issued an extraordinary statement disputing a bombshell news report that claimed President Trump directed Michael Cohen to lie about the timing of discussions over a proposed Trump Tower project in Moscow.

8 IL's new communist governor signs in to law a bunch of new strict and useless gun control laws designed to harass honest people. Of course they are unconstitutional and therefore illegal laws. Besides harassing gun dealers this law's other major impact will be to hasten the flow of honest people out of IL.

12 Fox just has to put a picture of Heidi Klum posing (supposedly in underwear) with snakes as an adornment. The one on their front page shows a subject snake that we discussed in detail a few months ago, the differences between a king snake and a coral snake. Guess which one she is wearing around her neck. I can't get to the rest of the pics because they are on instagram and I refuse to do ANY social media.

Yes they did that on the 17th while I was on Intellicast. I thought my computer had been breached by a virus. In fact I got a warning from my software.


I used to use WU until they redid their format and went to shit. That was why I went to Intellicast in the first place. Now they are both screwed up.

But you can still get to your local weather in the original intellicast format by waiting until the WU page fully loads and scrolling down to "nearby weather stations" links.

But - at the same time - the JackStraws need to be given "something". And I still think that something will be Bruce Ohr.

All of these claims flow from a single unverified source, the Santa Monica Observer, that like Buzzfeed presents no proof of their claim. And as I have repeatedly warned here, SMO has pulled this shit before and it was Fake News.

I looked at Darksky. Didn't like their format either. And as much as I hate TWC since they went over to the darkside on the AGW scam, their actual local weather predictions and "current weather" are top notch. And if you want to wallow in their AGW scam you can delve into their back pages for that.


So if I am looking for near and long term weather I go to them. And especially if I want the hourly predictions for 24 hours.

93 The whole Pelosi heading off to Europe thing shows how media do love them Dems.

Why the fuck is she going to Europe? She is a US Rep for the state of California. What the fuck is going on in Europe thats needs her help?

My guess is the house could meet for about 30 days each year and get the same amount of work done. I wonder what the House (and Senate) really cost taxpayers. Top aids get $150k per year. Jumping on planes to Afghanistan. As a people, we are very stupid to let our politicians get away with this bullshit.

Where are the journolist that actually watch out for the citizens? They have gone into hiding and are now represented by a group of death wish thugs. CNN allows so-called reporter to suggest the the Vice Presidents wife does not deserve secret service protection at the Christian school where she works. He is outright calling for the death of a good woman that has done nothing wrong.

Just remember the Trump Hate is really YOU HATE. They hate you, your spouse, your kids, your dog. They would give up you 10 YOs hymen or your wifes life to add 1 more illegal to welfare rolls. Funny (sad) thing is that many white Prog men would let the same thing happen to their family to punish America.

122 So Nancy has said that Trump is still invited to the SOTU but want's to "work together" to reschedule after government opens.

So right now the ball is in Trumps' court. If he says "You know Nancy, the DHS, Secret Service, and Capital police say security will not be an issue, I'm keeping the date", will Nancy concede or will she outright disinvite him.

I quite honestly don't know which way she'll go although the fact the she conceded he hasn't been disinvited probably indicates she'll cave.

127 This one blew up quickly, even by today's standards.

The trouble is that even so, it's one more drop in the bucket for their "aura of corruption" narrative. They've
used this for years. Both Bushes, Reagan, Nixon. (I don't recall cases for Ford, but that just may be poor memory. But mostly they just mocked Ford; I think they may have been tired after their great triumph.)

The trick is that it isn't needed that anything actually hold up. They just create this mass of allegations and use that mass as background for whatever they're pushing today.

Then they fire up another standard ploy. The "many say" (= "we say").

On the bright side, when it doesn't work, it drives them crazy.

133 Jonah tweeted all evening not about plagiarism, but instead that because we can conceive Trump is guilty of an impeachable offense, just for that reason alone, he should be impeached (and probably convicted). That's right, because the unreasoning twitter mob of disgraced former conservative pundits are now unemployable (I mean, how many people can the Atlantic pay? The money runs out at some point.), then obviously Trump must be thrown into the volcano.

134 From the sidebar: One thing I haven't seen emphasized enough - not even by Ace - is the fact that Jonah didn't just use Ace's idea and the model. Rather, his column is SO closely modeled on Ace's that it is really just a crude rewrite. It's about on the level a 9th grader would use in paraphrasing someone else's work.

Scott Adams commented yesterday that Trump's superpower is that he can match the level of fight that someone directs at him. Pelosi thought she could go outside the standard tactics with the shutdown without Trump responding in kind. He will match her every move and do it with the kind of finesse we saw a few days ago (not just cancelled, but telling them while they're in a moving bus).

Also think Nancy is used to doing all of this stuff behind closed doors. Trump fights out in the open; he wants the cameras rolling, he revels in broadcasting his insults on twitter. She and Schumer have got their hands full with this one.

_______________

The CBO has estimated that DACA will cost U.S. taxpayers $36 billion -- and the CBO's estimates always low-ball the true cost, so the actual cost of DACA will likely be over $100 billion.

And then there are the costs that can't even be calculated -- like the number of new illegal aliens who will be encouraged to come because this huge batch got amnesty.

And we're supposed to trade that for a measly $5 billion, or worse, a promise of $5 billion? That's a shitty deal.

I could be wrong, but I do not believe DACA includes amnesty/path to citizenship. It's Deferred Action something something, and only promises participants they won't be deported (the deferred action) and will be issued a green card.

It goes deeper than that, though. He killed her junket and did it in the most humiliating way possible.

Not only that, he did it in a way that made sure EVERYONE knew what she was doing. The Dem-allied press doesn't cover Dem junkets, and Trump finally made them do it.

I've been thinking about this for a while - which is the hot-button that leads to a 'hot' civil war? It can't be a bunch of different things, there has to be a single, polarizing concept. The border may be it. I never thought the Dem leadership would dig in like this, but that's what they're doing.

No border = no country.

Trust a legacy hire like Goldberg to get it exactly wrong AND plagiarize in the process.

Are they educated? Do they have jobs?

How do you know this, since they lurk in the shadows?

I don't know, either, but I'm not the one asserting that they're productive and educated. I suspect many live on bogus public assistance and aren't at all upwardly mobile.

Sure, the left showcases success stories, but how many of those are real? Remember AOC claimed to be from the "hood" or whatever, but grew up in a small mansion from affluent parents.

Sorry to be caustic, but I've seen so much garbage about how these people are net economic gains and yet the communities where they congregate always end up distressed. The classrooms are overcrowded and police and emergency services are overwhelmed while the tax base don't grow by a penny because they don't own land and live in the shadow economy.

So I'd like some solid numbers - that don't come from the Chamber of Commerce, by the way - before I accept this premise.

304 The Wall is about...the Wall. It isn't a MacGuffin. Without some sort of border security, the US is toast. We cease to be a nation and instead become the world's open parking lot.

So not only did Goldberg plagiarize, he did it in the exact wrong context.

Posted by: A.H. Lloyd at January 19, 2019 08:44 AM (cfSRQ)



This is exactly right.

The Wall is a physical barrier that can't be waved away by the next Dim President.

The Democrats would actually have to take physical photograph-able action to tear down the Wall and leave America defenseless at the border.

This is why they fight the Wall so hard.

As we've seen with Pelosi and previously Obama, they like to operate in the dark where they don't have to show their actions.

An example would be the disastrous ROE change that Obama implemented.

The direct effect was to get more US soldiers killed and make the fighting more "fair" for jihadists.

Did that new ROE help our soldiers? No. Did it help the mission? No. Did it help the jihadists at the expense of our soldiers' lives and bodies? Yep.

The Wall or more correctly the Lack of Wall is exactly like this.

All the drones, the monitors, the Border Patrols can be waved away with a word or buried in some bill.

The Democrats and their Republicuck allies don't want a Wall because the destruction of that Wall would leave their fingerprint all over the next terrorist attack, or illegal alien murder spree.

307 The Goldberg/plagiarism issue got me wondering where he learned about ethics and writing. Wikipedia had this tidbit:

"Goldberg's class at Goucher, which was a women's college until 1986, was the second to admit men."

My Dad similarly choose a small, private university with a 4:1 female to male ratio, but probably for different reasons than Mr. Goldberg.

Also, it appears he taught English briefly. I wonder if he would have accepted the "I've attributed that quote in previous papers, so I don't need to in this one" excuse?

"After graduating, Goldberg taught English in Prague for less than a year before moving to Washington D.C. in 1992 to take a job at the American Enterprise Institute."

So his parents paid for him to take an extended overseas vacay and then got him a nice cozy job.

I'm getting a sense from his writing that despite that overwhelming female to male ratio, he didn't get much out of it.

It is a scientific fact that liberal girls (particularly in college) find conservative men fascinating. With the proper swagger and attitude, the guy could have been a Casanova. During my misspent youth, I studied this phenomenon in depth (so to speak).

At any rate, he's always come across as a "try-to-hard" kind of guy and now he's losing his grip. He was supposed to be the hip, cool kid at NRO and now he's got a middle-aged homely wife and yelling at everyone to get off his lawn.

I'm not saying everyone here at AoSHQ is completely squared away, but we are comfortable in our own skins and able to give and take reasonably well.

For all his Assness Chair, Goldberg remains remarkably thin-skinned and insecure. Mark Steyn has approximately seven times as much testosterone.

324 I looked at Darksky. Didn't like their format
either. And as much as I hate TWC since they went over to the darkside
on the AGW scam, their actual local weather predictions and "current
weather" are top notch. And if you want to wallow in their AGW scam you
can delve into their back pages for that.


So if I am looking for near and long term weather I go to them. And especially if I want the hourly predictions for 24 hours.

Word.

As I said a couple of days ago, Open Borders are in fact, racist. It's the theft of the best and brightest of brown people from their home countries, condemning the majority of those populations to misery and death because they now lack the motivated population necessary to bootstrap their own countries into prosperity.

332 But they did not factor in the amount paid IN in taxes by those DACA's.

There is actually a net gain by allowing them in..


Considering that the cost/chalupa in the government schools is $15k/yr I seriously doubt it.

Many of these immigrants breed like guppies so three or four times that is expected.

Then you have WIC, free medical, free community/city/county/region/state/federal services recevied (you think having an EMT on standby costs nothing?)

Of course the quality of life for EVERYONE goes down in the form of disease, crime, traffic, utilities (remember they get the benefit of all "affordable housing" initiatives), culture, language, etc.

It costs more than money to maintain a functional, modern economy and first world culture.

364 Saw "Glass" yesterday-

Starts off like the best thing M. Night Shyamalan ever directed. Very crisp, very sharp script. Nice acting. Great directing.

Then as it seems to be comfortably fitting into the superhero mode of escalating battles between SH and SV-

MNS short-circuits the whole thing and takes it in a different direction.

How you respond to this short-circuiting will determine whether you like the movie or not.

I suspect that there'll be a 50/50 love/hate response from the audience.

Clearly, MNS has been thinking a lot about society lately and wants "Glass" to be as intellectual as it is visceral. This movie has a lot, a lot going on underneath it.

The final twist(Hey! It's MNS. You knew this was coming.) and the way it's motivation makes me think MNS is a conservative or at least leans in that direction as a classical-style liberal.

I'm trying to be vague here - so nothing to spoil your experience.

Try to read as little as possible before you go.

I liked "Glass" quite a bit but didn't love it. I suppose I admired it's ambitions and construction more than its....uh, let's just say overall story.

Weird sideways semi-sequel possible, but not mandatory depending on how well "Glass" does at the box office, I suppose.

Of course. As Mark Levine pointed out last night, *if* the story is true as written - bear with me, this is a thought experiment - then *who* is the source of the story?

Why, Herr Mueller's office. And that would be a crime, requiring an investigation.
