The Morning Rant

talking ape.jpg
"So Great Britain is rapidly turning into a surveillance state that would make old Joe Stalin green with envy. You can actually go to jail there for posting a disparaging comment on Facebook. Monty Python would be in jail for some of their comedy skits. Meanwhile acid attacks are a daily occurrence and law enforcement is doing everything in its power not to notice the rape gangs that have victimized young girls by the thousands. All in the name of not being racist. I keeping waiting for enough Brits to finally say 'enough is enough', and straighten out their priorities but the boiling point never seems to be reached. So it looks like it's going to be 'Fail, Britannia' for the foreseeable future."



This Is Not a Parody:

Maybe if I lived in England, I'd know, but since I don't, I have to ask: what, exactly, is 'sectarian language'?

25 The term 'Female Genital Mutilation' is triggering and culturally intolerant. It is imperative that our socially conscious betters come up with a less offensive term. Unfortunately, 'Women's Health Care' has already been co-opted for abortion, so they can't call it that. I'm thinking something like 'Ladypart Cuddles' or 'Friendly Girl Marshmallows.'

29 It is literally almost daily that news comes out about something shockingly wrong and awful that the British Government is doing either by omission (allowing rape gangs) or commission (convicting someone for a joke). Their continuous and unbelievably creepy propaganda about hate speech, their lunatic treatment of Muslims, its turned into the police state horror that every leftist warned Thatcher was going to create in the 80s.

Seriously, about 600 dystopian fantasies came out of the 80s with the UK turning into this terrifying police state that monitors everyone constantly, silences free speech, and jails people for questioning the government. And it was all out of terror regarding Thatcher.

And now its really happening, and they're silent.

He wrote a book, "A National Party No More," which we have a signed copy of, denouncing the Dem party for going so far left.

My husband went to school with Zell's sons, and they wrote an underground "news"paper together called the Open Zipper. Heh.

Zell spoke at a dinner here years ago, and his speech was fiery, denouncing the Dems and lefty libs in general. Fine old fellow, nice family.

90 Sectarian poster at the bottom. Sponsored by the British Transport Police and something called "nil by mouth". I had to look up nil by mouth.

Wikipedia --
Nil by Mouth (or NBM) can mean:

* Nil per os (Latin), a medical instruction (NPO), for patients who may not take any substances orally for various reasons
]* Nil by Mouth (charity), an anti-sectarian charity in Glasgow, Scotland
* Nil by Mouth (film), a 1997 British film
* "Nil By Mouth", a 2002 single from New Zealand band Blindspott


I'm supposing it's the 2nd nil by mouth here. Seems to have been founded by a girl whose brother was killed because of the soccer team scarf he was wearing. So it was originally about hooliganism? But natch has morphed into SJW thought police. Just my hot take.

93 Along with the acid attacks there are now daily fatal stabbings. This is why they focus on *gun* violence, also not gone strangely enough, instead of violence as a whole. A gun is my only potential (nothing is a guarantee) to protect myself from acid attacks, stabbing, and just plain being kicked to death (which is a real thing there). The only thing they've done is made honest people helpless and London is becoming more violent daily.

I watched a 4-part BBC special on crime in London and as near as I can tell the cutting edge police process from New Scotland Yard is to sit around watching video, hoping they see the perpetrator again somewhere.

109 Got Willowed so I'm going to repost.

This talk of Huey Long allows me discuss one of my favorite books, All the King's Men. Although it is described as a great political novel, I don't think it is a political novel. I think it is a modern (1940s) retelling of The Divine Comedy. Consider, The Divine Comedy begins:

Midway in our life's journey, I went astray from the straight road and woke to find myself alone in a dark wood.

Although too long to quote, All the King's Men begins with the depiction of a driver losing concentration and crashing off the side of the road. Both are about negligently falling into sin and achieving redemption through suffering and reflection.

That's true pretty much everywhere in the world. And its a subconscious racism, they aren't even thinking about it or aware of it. Just basic, presumed bigotry. Some places are open and cheerful about it like Japan. Some are more subtle like England, but its always there.

But its getting worse here. People who never were racist before are getting that way out of rage and frustration and weariness of having race rammed down their throats. I'm seeing people who used to not give a crap one way or another, who just saw everyone as people starting to divide groups up by ethnic background.

179 But if you think about it, England has always been this way--intolerant. That's because it's still a top-down society run by and for the ultimate benefit of the upper classes.

When the upper classes were Catholic, that's what the peasants had to be.
When they switched to Protestantism, well convert ...or else.
When the upper classes said go to war, they went
When they turned left, so did the serfs
Now the upper classes have decided that Muslims are unassailable, guess what?

What is to prevent a conservative in the House from proposing a single appropriations bill in the House to fully fund the border wall?

Or is there now some rule that the only time appropriations bills can be proposed is when the government is about to shut down, or as part of a massive one-time budget request?

191 Apparently, the sectarian language reference is in reference to a custom in Scotland (notice those prisons are Scottish) to verbally bash other religions.. Here's one of the definitions from the Scottish Government:

"Sectarianism in Scotland is a mixture of perceptions, attitudes, actions, and structures that involves overlooking, excluding, discriminating against or being abusive or violent towards others on the basis of their perceived Christian denominational background. This perception is always mixed with other factors such as, but not confined to, politics, football allegiance and national identity."

The article I read goes on to say some football (soccer) clubs are supported by Catholics and other by Protestants.. so it sounds like hooliganism and sports rivalries mixed with religious animosities..

So.. they don't want this shit boiling over on public transportation..

Of course they explained that Senate is the problem. Which is why, I guess, Trump will now live in about 10 states with Dems up for re-election between now and November? Right? Guess we'll see. But politics is more than a twitter timeline.


And the whole cloture thing in the Senate reflects a completely limp GOP (yes, I'm stunned too). The Dems are using the filibuster concept to block all regular order in much normal business, including appropriations.


The Senate GOP, finally and correctly, nuked the filibuster for judicial nominees. But even within the old rules, McConnell has hardly gone to war with the Dems. He should make them live and breathe their obstructionism - and he should also remove the various delays that are used to stall nominees.

I'm with you. There is no reason new funding cannot be brought up in a separate bill.
By the way, Trump has already submitted, as is his duty, the 2019 budget. In a responsible govt. the Congress should be working on that now so it would be passed in October , when the current as yet unsigned budget , expires. They wouldn't be passing a budget six months late as they just did yesterday.

this WH has never hinted at: president pledges to sign only regular
appropriations bills, no CRs beyond 7-day stopgaps. Congressional GOP
should join with Trump in this. Leave it on the Dems to have actual
shut-downs, if they choose. All on them.


Omnibus CRs remove politics from politics. No big votes, no choices, no differentiation. Nobody's name is on any key vote, as there were no key votes.


Mulvaney and Short are being pretty dishonest, because they know that CRs per se greatly reduce presidential power. And the only way to wrest that power back is to veto all omnibus CRs. If there ever were a president who is perfect for the drama and confrontation required, this guy is it. It has never appeared he's been getting good advice on this key part of his presidency.

244 But you forget that Britain was infused with French (Norman) blood after 1066

The history of the British Isles, particularly England, is a very long series of conquests by other nations, perpetually being invaded and taken over. Romans, Norse, Celts, Angles, French, pretty much everyone just walked in and took over. Their language (our language) is a messed up jumble of nonsense as a result.

What we call English culture now is a blend of all these influences over thousands of years, but this is the first time they've ever been invaded intentionally, by choice.

245 I watched a 4-part BBC special on crime in London and as near as I can tell the cutting edge police process from New Scotland Yard is to sit around watching video, hoping they see the perpetrator again somewhere.

Many Brit police/detective TV series are like this. It's all "let's look at the CCTV footage from in front of that pub from last night." Kind of ruins the 'detecting' part of detecting crime.

Also, it changes a century-long pattern of total crapfest increased spending just being rubber stamped over the extreme ire and opposition of the American people. Over and over and over, no matter how godawful the bill is, no matter how much the spending increases, it keeps being passed.

Just once it would be nice to see a president go "are you freaking kidding me?" and burn the thing in their faces.

Posted by: WitchDoktor, AKA VA GOP Sucks at March 23, 2018 11:46 AM (PFy0L)

Because it's not rolling over. The biggest thing Trump got out of this deal is exactly one of his campaign promises and that is to allow the military to plan, order, and acquire new equipment, materials, etc. He removed the sequester crap that the Republicans agreed to years ago that is absolutely destroying our military's readiness. There are numerous other things that are in the bill that the administration wanted and they got.

If Trump vetoes this bill , after saying just two days ago and then having Short and Mulvaney go out and also say he would veto it, he is going to walk right into the Congress overriding his veto and the Dems looking like the rational adults. Just like Trump can't get things through Congress right now without Dem votes, Trump and the Republicans can't win reelection or keep Congress without Dem votes. That is the cold hard truth. Republican's need to put up intelligent, well spoken candidates who don't look like child molestors . They need to state what they want to accomplish in Washington, not just rail against Pelosi or Planned Parenthood. And Trump needs to stop acting like a Jamaican trinket trader, what he says and tweets does matter.

Tommy Robinson has been raising the alarm on at least the rape gangs and FGM. And the Govt has thrown him in jail a couple times. Pretty sure the govt by proxy keeps doxing him also.

283 As some have pointed out in the past, the House passed its appropriations bills.


The blockage of regular order in approps by the Senate is, I think, something new (at least in the modern era).


And it fully justifies the nukyler option. McConnell should have removed the filibuster for appropriations measures (i.e. requirement for cloture on motions to proceed to such measures), explicitly tying this bold move to the far bolder move by the Dems in blocking regular order (or simply abandoning it) for nearly a decade.


WH should have, as I said at the time, immediately announced back in Jan. '17 that this president would not be signing any omnibus CRs of greater than one week duration. McConnell should have given clear warning, and when the Senate Dems blocked regular order, changed the Senate rules to exempt approps bills from filibusters. And both should have talked about this, a lot.


And then, possibly, you'd have what used to be the basis of politics - lots of dramatic amendment votes in the Senate, where for example the Dem from MT gets to vote against border security. Which kinda makes his campaign manager nervous.

Pretty far cry from: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated..."

And there are posters, also in the subways from our helpful Governor Cuomo, giving a hotline to "report all incidents of bias." No reference to employment discrimination, or housing issues, just "incidents of bias" --to be duly reported to the authorities.

The message is pretty clear: Watch your ass citizen!

The sequester was about the only fiscal restraint that the Republicans ever passed in Congress, and it was really an accident. Yet somehow, we survived this long.

What is not permissible or good is basing government policy and laws on
'us' vs 'them'. Posted by: Vic

right ... An accountant friend back around 1981 expressed to me that white males are under assault. Only now are some finally saying "hey you know, I kinda like my heritage, the founders put some pretty good ideas down on paper".

That actually is NOT racist, it is the demand that "white privilege" be accepted as some sort of legal reality to be punished. And Law and culture has indeed punished the majority. It's only the western heritage that is under assault, French people that want to keep their traditions, or Poland.

The attack on Jews or Israel is a more complicated sub plot in all that, but the globalists want to merge us all into economic widgets with no strong nationalist or religious beliefs forming any coherent structure they (Bilderbergs, CFR, friends of Soros, RogueCIA ???) can't control. So England is allowing an exemption for Islam, to wreak havoc as they form their own special laws, and insulting them is an actionable offense.

400 326 282 Orwell was an avowed atheist and for good measure socialist.
Posted by: rammajamma at March 23, 2018 12:06 PM (6HRXU)

A socialist who woke up during the Spanish Civil War and saw where the Left was going and predicted where it would lead (and was also honest about the horrors of Stalinism). Paul Johnson has speculated that if Orwell had lived longer he would have moved further right. The hard Left hated "Animal Farm" and "1984" and thought him a traitor.

And yes, an atheist, but not a vicious one. Since I'm Catholic, I think that gets him a spell in Purgatory...

403 If the details Limbaugh is giving right now are correct and in context, then the Dems (and GOP leadership) are doing donuts in the WH front lawn right now, on border security. And immigration enforcement and processing.


Trump was, incredibly, nominated and elected more than anything because he embraced the common sense popular will on illegal immigration that both parties abhor.


This whole appropriations process repudiates Trump's stance, seemingly in detail.


But those who don't understand the actual process or, apparently how politics works when there *is* politics, will be using the word "concern" a lot.

405 This idea that the sequester "destroyed" our military is bullshit.

Its exaggerated, but Obama's choice of who was cut when the sequester kicked in was always the military, so they did suffer from it.

Naturally their response was to cut necessary and critical areas instead of salaries of the brass, lobbyist parties, kickbacks, etc.

Well, good thing it was repealed.

Obviously, this is not the correct way to deal with the problem. You arrest people when they actually come to blows, not by getting rid of free speech.

You may optimistically think it was only passed to stop sports thuggishness from boiling over into public transportation. However, such a law can easily be abused and expanded way beyond the scope that is claimed for it.

Ask any teacher whether funding has gone up or down since the '70s. Then show them the chart.

Funding has gone up and up and up for teaching, but teachers have a hard time believing it because they have old text books and their cost of living increases have been stagnant and they have to hoard printer paper because the office won't give them any.

All those spending increases went to the five assistant principals and office staff and district staff and sports complexes and etc etc etc.

PA-18 was the first that came to mind, though there have been others iirc. If Saccone was a nobody, I believe you. I was just assuming he wasn't a kook like Moore.

This idea that the sequester "destroyed" our military is bullshit.

Maybe, but more likely the PC nonsense that is starting to impact our military is more to blame.

The left is trying to turn our military into a typical government agency, which is used to promoted left wing ideas. No sense in wasting money on something like that if we don't do something first about the PC.

So if certain generals and admirals keep pushing:

1. Green energy.
2. Transsexual transformations.
3. Girl power.
4. White males are racist and need re-education.
5. Deals with Iran and China are wonderful.
6. EU is wonderful.
7. Global warming is a military threat.
8. Making money on the side with strange think tanks while still in the military is great.

Then we can expect more dead sailors...

468 the "silent majority" (not just white Christian) is being exposed to the meltdown of the far left machinery, as Trump saying normal patriotic things triggers the MSM and coastal elite, as they fire off Orwellian hate 24/7.

But the economic machinery has leveraged so much "money" into the oligarchs, even as America goes deep in debt. Funny how that just happened to work out.

The criminal frauds that bailed out the richest, or that arranged policy and fought wars for their benefit ... what happens if that house of cards has a few oligarchs go to prison? Wall Street took over from Main Street ... fiat currencies and an explosion of paper net worth ... "they" want to turn their fake money into real assets, and "we the people" need to put them in prison before they own us all. tricky business.

This. I went from many years in private sector to teaching here in AZ. Any one of you can spend a week in public school watching what goes on and list 10 pages of waste and redundancy. its sickening. I NEVER vote for overrides for teachers. Fuck them. they vote for Democrats. Idiots.

Wikileaks named Paul Ryan, Carly Fiorina, John Kasich, Jeb Bush, Lindsey Graham, and John McCain as Republicans who were paid off by Clinton to ensure that Donald Trump lost the election, or undermine him if he won as reported by Conservative Daily Post."

Wikileaks must have hired Captain Obvious

Any idea why PDJT said he loved the Craptibus Bill Wednesday, and then Friday morning right after it passes, tweets he may veto? Should be vetoed, but mixed signals here will fuel the lack of leadership meme. WTF?

Trump always says 'nice doggy' with the bat behind his back.

He gets them to commit, then can make the decision on what they actually passed rather than on all the promises.

It is not often I criticize Trump, but the timing here makes him look either manipulative or indecisive or he did not know what was in the steaming pile, none of which makes a good impression. Yes I can admire a man who can change his mind, but also admire a man who can do so whilst avoiding stepping on his dick. This time... yowwwouch!!

479 That "sectarian language" sign is Scottish, and refers specifically to Protestant/Catholic sectarianism. It's a big issue in Glasgow, especially in relation to the 'Old Firm' soccer matches between Glasgow Celtic and Glasgow rangers. To oversimplify things, it's basically spillover from Northern Ireland.

483 Now Trump is making promises about the stock market ... silly.

imo he should be explaining that we need American jobs, not a globalist stock market that makes the rich richer by investing in slave labor in the smoggy communist regimes, who btw support rogue nations like NK and Iran.

DOW could easily drop below 18K, Obama's ZIRP and QE sustained a bubble ... MAGA means real workers profit, not globalist electornic gamblers (who are backed up by America itself)
