Good Morning Morons. Today is Saturday, April 25, 2015. On this day in 1898 the US declared war on Spain beginning the Spanish-American war. The war came from three major factors, the sinking of the battleship Maine that was blamed on Spain, agitation by William Randolph Hearst in his newspapers (the MFM of its day), and pressure from the Democrat Party. As it turned out the Maine was likely not sunk by the Spanish, the yellow press of Hearst should have been spoken out against and ignored, and the pressure from the Democrats should have been exposed as corruption in league with some industrialists.

Heck-of-a-job there intelligence agency. Remember the hue and cry after Katrina by the MFM when in actuality everything bad that was happening in New Orleans was the fault of the stupid people or the Democrats who controlled the town and the State. Well where is it now?

There is no voter fraud say the Democrats. So why is this "Democrat" Mayor facing impeachment and has been refused her office due to allegations of vote fraud. The article describes this city of 300 to be rife with corruption since the 1980s.

Evidently RINO Thad (ACU 60/52) who was put back in office via Democrat cross-over votes and assistance from the RNCe doesn't pay his help enough. One of his office staff has been arrested on possession of meth with intent to distribute charges.

More hot air:
The head of a powerful House panel is threatening to withhold defense funding over the department's alleged stonewalling in a probe of the controversial swap of five Taliban leaders for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
An insider has already leaked the fact that the release of those Taliban terrorists from GITMO was already in the works long before the deserter showed up on the scene. The stonewalling that is occurring is to keep more excrement from coming off that rotating fan and hitting Obama. This panel knows what happened and they also know that they will never get anything from the lying assholes in this administration. And, they will never hold up defense dept funds and Obama knows that too.
And if they really really want answers they need to get the House to vote on criminal contempt charges and have the Obamanite stooges arrested and jailed until they come clean. And yes, they CAN do that w/o the corrupt DOJ. (see April 23, 2014 links)

CO businessman is moving his business to SC and says the reason is workers showing up stoned. I have a feeling that due to an influx of blue State locusts from CA and NY the business climate in CO has gone to hell and that is the real reason.

The Secretary of Education says parents who opt out of common core are racists and the feds will step in if it continues. This guy is really really stupid. Doesn't he know he has less than 2 years of tenure left? Probably not, if he likes common core "fed style" he probably is incapable of counting that high.

OR idiot judge says bakers who refused to bake a cake <sic> for the Gaystapo should be fined $135,000. Their business is already bankrupt so this is an obvious attempt to bankrupt the family personally. I wonder if the judge is a member of the Gaystapo? The alleged harm caused to the two lesbians is all made up emotional bullshit. If I were this family I would get rid of all personal assets and leave the State. Note: The <sic> was placed there because as I recall, the original problem wasn't that they refused to bake the cake. They refused to attend the wedding to do other stuff.

I participated in the 2012 Nevada caucus.
Mostly it went fine... except for the after dark caucus for Jews and 7th day adventists. It was swarmed with Paul-bots.
Their reporting was actually revolutionary. They tweeted each precinct as it was counted in such a fashion, that one could read them with a program and instantaneously report on the results (all elections results should be reported thus.).
The problem was that while Romney came first... Newt actually came in second (winning, IIRC, at least one county out of 19). Paul was 3rd of 4, but due to the take-over of the GOP party apparatus at the time got the majority of delegates and embarrassed the majority of Nevada Republicans who rejected Ron Paul by blindly voting for him at the RNC 2016 convention.
On a personal level, I enjoyed participating in a caucus.
Sadly, Nevada GOP is divided between squishes and Paulita nutbags.
*sigh
Still, until 2008, the % of Dem vote in the General Presidential election steadily went up. 2012 was the first time in years that the GOP share of the vote went up in decades (Nevada was the only state in 2012 that elected a GOPer to the Senate while voting for Obama... the ONLY state).

Not saying he didn't. Just that his whole "seduced by the dark side" and "I should have objected to the anti-semitism" and "I never knew about the death camps" is a complete lie.
There is also a bit of the old moral relativism with a few older vets in the final episode, but overall, it has held up very well. Carl Davis' music is especially good. And of course, Olivier's narration.

Probably although it looks like the Mayor is already all over that. And the law that gives them the authority to do that says that they can do it if the local authorities are doing nothing. And yet Holder sent people to North Charleston even though the cop involved had already been fired and charged with murder.
Which that trial will be interesting to see because it turns out that once again the press accounts were slanted and incomplete.

That "civil rights" Act that was recently renewed for another 25 years with the help of the Republicans should have been trashed. It was originally only supposed to be a temporary law good for 5 years. It was unconstitutional as hell on several grounds. But in their attempt to curry favor from the blacks both parties vote to renew it every time.

(I used preview becuz I'm not familiar with the source but they seem to be a reputable site)
This is something that has been discussed at the HQ many times that would at least stop the endless ratcheting up of restrictions until nothing can get done here. Canada has actually done something about it.

I bingewatched World at War last year (that term seems so trite) and thought it was fantastic. Kept reminding myself that WWII was very, very much in living memory when it was made, they had some pretty amazing interviews (Hitler's secretary, etc.) and the moral ambivalence from the Germans was sobering. I think a lot of the problems today are because we are now 4-5 generations removed now. WWI even more so.
They would never make some thing like that now without Martin Sheen or Tom Hanks narrating, a hard left antiwest view, with goofy CGI and it would be dumbed down ridiculously.

What's going to be hilarious is when he walks because they only charged him with murder and no other lesser and included charges.
That may have been intentional by the prosecutor.
And he can always say, "well you were screaming to charge him with murder so we did."
The burden of proof to prove murder especially against a cop is pretty damn high.

The average half hour Television program is 21 minutes of content, 7 minutes of commercials. Thanks to Amazon and Netflix you can now 'bingewatch' three episodes commercial free and you've only spent one hour viewing. That's hardly some aberrant behavior.

SePA, kind of full-circle here: Mom didn't have any memory of the famous houseguests (HG Wells, Robert Frost) but did recall strongly that old Mr Spitzer Senior was not only a sophisticate in the old-world sense but a real cut-up and a card. There was a lazy susan on the breakfast table, at a time when all gambling had a well-earned gangland overtone, and he would wait until it was loaded, give it a thrilling spin, and say "Okay folks, place your bets!"
And he came to a sad end, at age 99. He'd stayed in the family's lovely small mansion as the neighborhood "changed," was was beaten to death by a punk (family employee if memory serves) looking for high value objects to steal. Similar fate to that of Oscar Zerk, inventor of the home coffee grinder and grease fitting.

According to FedEx updates, they should be dropping off 5250 little pew pew bits sometime this morning.
Backordered so long, I forgot about them.
3.9 cents per....total delivered cost.
It pays to be forgetful.

JJ-will dig up the Burns WWII series, I cannot remember if I watched it the first go-around.
And I agree-the framing of *everything* through the race looking glass is enraging, it diminishes and distorts what was really happening.

Zerk, a name to conjure by. Sounds like a joke name to the terminally hip, but he was one classy dude, a real Renaissance man. Kenosha went all to shit without him. And they're not alone.

Any possibility that R's confirmed new AG because they think she is only AG with enough cover from media criticisms to pursue Hillary's uranium scheme?

100 Kept reminding myself that WWII was very, very
much in living memory when it was made, they had some pretty amazing
interviews (Hitler's secretary, etc.) and the moral ambivalence from
the Germans was sobering. I think a lot of the problems today are
because we are now 4-5 generations removed now. WWI even more so.

Didn't someone here point out that we're now farther from Empire Strikes Back than we were from WWII when the movie was made?

Burns film focuses on 4 American towns, one of them being Mobile, AL, so you couldn't help but include the segregation issue in the story. Overall though, the series is outstanding.

Released in 1980 - 35 years in either direction as of now, but that gap will increase.
