The Morning Rant: J.V. Edition

punk-monkey.jpg

That smarmy little bald-headed cocksucker Rick Wilson has written a nasty, hate-filled diatribe in The Spectator (no link, because fvck 'em) against President Trump and his "national populism." Assuming for the moment that national populism is even a bad thing, then clearly international populism would also be a bad thing, yet the fat stooge has been curiously silent on the topic. I guess he is happy with foreign interference in American politics and culture, and the morphing of American Exceptionalism into Globalism, just as long as he gets a check from its instigators.

The thing about little Rick Wilson is that his only goals seem to be self-aggrandizement and creating a cult of personality around him, courtesy of his sophomoric gotcha! tweets and fact-free articles in corporate Republican publications. He was almost certainly a winless campaign consultant. I can't find any evidence that he was successful anywhere except in his own mind. His political observations are limited to 240 character smart-assed comments, or vitriolic rantings calling Trump an idiot and a Nazi. He has an "amen chorus" on Twitter that rushes to protect his tender sensibilities with similarly childish ad hominem attacks on his critics, and he is curiously unable to respond to substantive criticism. I wonder if that is because he has no philosophical clarity and simply goes where the cash is.

It's not much of a business plan, but he seems to be plugging away. Maybe he has a side gig as a fluffer on private jet flights to Pedo Island, or perhaps he is embracing his masters' cultural psychosis and transitioning. To what? I have no idea, although he does look a bit like a fat, post-menopausal tranny. But if he is, then he thinks there's a buck to be made.

******

There is this thing called a market economy. And this thing punishes bad business decisions very, very quickly. For instance, if I open a business and try to sell products that very few people want, then my business will almost certainly fail, and there is no one to blame but my lack of understanding of my customers.

Feminist bookstore to close this month, blames white supremacy

Of course I could blame the Illuminati or the International Zionist Conspiracy or Aliens...but my business will still fail.

******

He's not as dumb as he looks.

Actually, he seems like a bright and contemplative man. Notice that there wasn't a hint of politics in his speech, it didn't offend anyone (yet), and it was positive and uplifting and, dare I say it...pro-American!

27 It's not as if Portland doesn't have the world's best bookstore in Powell's. A small niche market store cannot compete. If they don't have an online presence they're pretty much toast.
No maple syrup either. The other side of that is that Portland has become Berkeley and most rational people avoid it if at all possible.

29 Reading between the lines, the other problem with the feminist bookstore was apparently that they didn't, or couldn't, pay staff. They cite a lack of volunteers. So nobody wanted to visit it, nobody wanted to work for it (without pay), and nobody wanted to buy from it -- and the problem is patriarchy or white supremacy. Uh-huh.

34 Sine the US civil service cannot handle the hord that Mexico is flinging at the border to the standard that the very concerned finds acceptable why not shut the border. It is an international crisis of crying toddlers, women with children kidnapped for assylum status, and unaccompanied drug mules. Shut that sucker down! Nothing coming through. Until it is all worked out. I'm willing to forgo catalopes and $(!# covered cilantro until Mexico agrees to "refugee" stations set up 100 miles from the Texas to California border inside Mexico.

45 It seems as though the entirety of the chattering classes has forgotten that vitriol is for when you're preaching to the choir. Bitch and piss and moan all you like, but when you're writing for a more public audience, you tone down your language a bit and at least try to give the people you disagree with the benefit of good faith.

Maybe it's the Internet, maybe it's the encroaching darkness of the Globalist/Deep State crowd, maybe they've just always been assholes, but that idea has been completely lost.

It's all vitriol, all the time. Their new faith does not demand conversion, it demands submission.

84 "Populist" Populist? . . why do I know something about that word? - oh yes - it's a another word for "democracy."
The real funny thing is the constant use of this word as if it is pejorative - but it means, literally: a member or adherent of a political party that seeks to represent the interests of ordinary people.

Somehow, the uniparty, deep-state, leftist f*ckers of the world, such as the US Democrat Party, have decided that representing the interests of "ordinary people" is the highest form of evil and makes you, literally, Hitler.

What the absolute f*ck?!?

This is probably the most well thought out, succinct and truthful
statement on the whole Trump is gassing babies at the border mess. From
the DHS Secretary:
"As I said earlier today, surely it is the beginning of the unraveling of

democracy when the body who makes the laws, instead of changing them,

tells the enforcement body not to enforce the law. I ask Congress to

act this week (on proposed laws) so that we can secure our borders and

uphold our humanitarian ideals."Posted by: The Great White Scotsman at June 19, 2018 11:34 AM (+Dllb)

He brought up the texts from the FBI agent who said that a witness in the Hillary investigation was lying their ass off but that aint nobody higher up is going to allow that person to be charged with 18USC1001

Goodlette asked Horowitz isnt that exactly what Flynn and Popodopulous were charges with, Horowitz meekly answered, Yes.


This is what prosecutorial discretion is...

Go hammer tongs after your enemies, let your friends and the well connected skate.

"If they're against nationalism, then they must be in favor of internationalism, i.e. globalism, i.e. World Government. It's got to be one or the other."

235 It's 600 clergy. It's not an official policy policy of the UMC unless the General conference votes on it. Clergy can do any darn thing they want to -and often do so.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at June 19, 2018 11:38 AM (O5K3f)

------------

Understood - and I appreciate your insight.

The OPTICS, though, are that this is the UMC. It's on a website that is www.umc.org ...looks pretty dang official and sanctioned at the outset.

Again, I know that the UMC is a very large organization with a broad swath of viewpoints. The UMC church we attended for about a year didn't come across as super-lefty when we first started, but the longer we were there, the more apparent it became. We had a meeting with the senior pastor, and he didn't back down from his viewpoints, though he did "assure" us that most of his most radical beliefs wouldn't ever be presented from the pulpit. OK. Great. But you're still a Westar-loving moonbat.

This kind of stuff, this "charge" against Sessions, needs to gain traction within the broader UMC community who DISAGREE with it. It needs addressed by those who these 600 clergy DO NOT speak for. It needs addressed and publicly refuted.

The same way Southern Baptists need to do with Westboro.

So these idiots alienate some of the faithful, get used, and undermine their religion.

255 I pushed for "Americanism" before Trump took it up, but I never imagined "America First" could be made so controversial, even by "Republicans". Surely 'sovereignty' would be recognized as essential to liberty.

But indeed, they turned "patriotism" into white supremacy, at least for their fake narratives. Americanism still works though, and exposes the hates as frauds. They are globalists ready to surrender our country ... and by extension, ready to surrender all Western countries and those sovereign peoples.

Brought to bare (since Trump dared win on sovereignty) is the left's "fully operational death star", as we see the MSM focus their energy on one narrative after another ... this week blasting away an inconvenient IG report (itself largely whitewashed) with a "children in cages" narrative.

They have spent a couple of generations breaking the Tribe known as American, down into subtribes.

Because the Tribe known as American, was too big and boisterous to rule.


So now, what they can't break up into smaller, easier to rule tribes, they will replace with people from other cultures... cultures which will bow to their rule.

We went to a Toys R Us yesterday to see what they had marked down to move since they're going out of business. It was extremely eye opening for our daughter. She was sad they were closing, and while we drove there I explained that you have to price things competitively so people will buy them.

The magic happened when we got there and everything the kids found and wanted we searched for online. Toys R Us, at half off, was STILL 10% higher than Amazon and/or Walmart.

My daughter laughed about it on the drive back home with her allowance still in her little purse.

Some of us still do.

The IG report was never designed to be a charging document. He is not a prosecutor, he is an investigator. Huber is the prosecutor and as Horowitz has reminded you today, prosecutors don't talk to the public, they speak in court. If you thought this was the end of the story you would be mistaken.

Yesterday we learned that Comey is under a criminal investigation for leaking and it was confirmed there is an active grand jury. You learn these things when you listen to the testimony rather than talking about movies or screaming nothing is happening over and over again.

That seems like good news, that American small companies are still doing well, maybe even better, with reduced regs, and less competition from the commies that get to pollute, abuse workers, steal tech, manipulate currency, etc.

There is no spoon ... there is no "free trade" that has been the spoon fed mantra fed to us by the globalists. We have been the buyers of first and last resort, and we have the debt to prove it.

This is what I suggest to people in church they feel frustrated with. Our focus should be on Jesus and growing to become more like him. Bishops come and go. Popes come and go Clergy come and go. Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit is forever. People that i know who are RC love the reception of the Eucharist. It doesn't matter what thing your particular Priest might think about immigration. He still has the authority and Apostolic power to be the channel of God's grace in officiating at that Sacrament. in fact, Church history and theology affirms that even a priest who is a sinner (and we're al sinners) effectively officiate at the Eucharist so I don't quite understand why people would want to give up the Power and grace of the Sacraments unless they just didn't believe in any of it anymore.

Loves to pick apart any spending Republicans endorse in terms of how many poor people could be sheltered or fed.

Is willfully ignorant on Sanctity of Life Sunday, spewing posts about ending the death penalty instead of daring touch upon abortion.

He's all over this "charging" of Sessions. I generally grant him some respect and don't troll him on his own posts, but I'd be willing to do so on this one, if it turns out these people can be proven to be some sort of loony-fringe of the UMC.

No matter what happens there will always be some who aren't happy. I've never predicted that people like Obama and Hillary will be out in prison, in fact I've said it's likely they will never be held accountable cause we don't as a country have a history of putting presidents and historic first almost presidents in jail.

414 This is what I suggest to people in church they feel frustrated with. Our focus should be on Jesus and growing to become more like him. Bishops come and go. Popes come and go Clergy come and go. Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit is forever. People that i know who are RC love the reception of the Eucharist. It doesn't matter what thing your particular Priest might think about immigration. He still has the authority and Apostolic power to be the channel of God's grace in officiating at that Sacrament. in fact, Church history and theology affirms that even a priest who is a sinner (and we're al sinners) effectively officiate at the Eucharist so I don't quite understand why people would want to give up the Power and grace of the Sacraments unless they just didn't believe in any of it anymore.

I don't disagree necessarily that "something" is more than "nothing". And, I've never argued that "nothing would happen". I'm just saying that the various players involved are all politicos of one stripe or another - Sessions, Horowitz, even Huber. I think they see the need for action to appease the base and help Trump. But, at the same time, they don't want to destroy their own careers by going too far. What I expect we'll see is a bit of a compromise. Comey gets a slap on the wrist for leaking, Strohz gets some small penalty for something or other. Maybe a couple of other people.And, that is "something". I'm not saying it isn't. And, in no universe would I expect Hillary or Obama to be charge with anything - even if they are found with a smoking gun in their hands (which, essentially, Hillary was vis a vis dissemination of classified materials).
what upsets me isn't the lack of prosecution - it's that I doubt there will be any real "cleaning up" or reforming of DOJ or the FBI. I think those institutions are wildly politicized now and I don't see that changing.

priests come, and the priests go, but this is OUR church."



You gotta take the long view, and go to confession, and be clean, and attend to Our Lord.

Once we had a very "Out" substitute immigrant minister comes in and tell us all about how when they go to the regional retreats or whatever they call them , how drunk they all get and how much love he experiences and how hard it is to give a sermon when hung over.
Half of the women at church think he's so dreamy. While me and at least four other guys, think maybe he should go get a real job.
I had no idea's the retreats were for boozing an whoring .

461 >>What I find alarming is just how willing people are to forgive atrociously criminal acts as long as their ideology is being supported. If Democrats started goose stepping down the street and stuffing Jewish kittens into ovens all would be forgiven as long as they continue to fund planned parenthood.

Given how much cognitive dissonance it takes to be a liberal in the first place I can't say I'm surprised that they are willing to overlook obvious corruption at the DOJ. Particularly since it was in their favor.

Honestly Congressional hearings are largely clown shows anyway. I've said all along the complaints by Congress that they weren't getting info from the DOJ were more noise than anything else. All they do is oversight. The don't prosecute and they really don't do much in the way of investigating. You get a few good questions and some good info from a multi-hour hearing but most of it is Shelia Jackson Lee barking at the moon or Hank Johnson worried about islands flipping over.

The important action is with federal prosecutors and grand juries and we get precious little information on what they are doing until they do it.

Yeah, we have lots of silly women who moon after Father-What-A-Waste.

And then there are the homosexuals who entered the seminary to use it as a dating service. At least most of them are being sent packing these days. We still have enough of them around to make trouble, but the wheel is turning, ever so slowly.

isn't that his job-his vocation if he's ordained to that?.

I once was on a board where some rabid Atheist told me to "'get a real job" I can't say that I was thrilled by that. It was not real to him because he didn't believe in God or Christ.

However, I think it's really, really inapropraite to talk about how drunk he got on retreats

480 This is what I suggest to people in church they feel frustrated with. Our focus should be on Jesus and growing to become more like him. Bishops come and go. Popes come and go Clergy come and go. Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit is forever.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at June 19, 2018 12:29 PM (O5K3f)


Agreed. 100%.

This is also why we left the UMC we were at. They lost this completely. It was not a small church or a new church. It had old roots in the city. Claimed to be a community of several thousand. But, and I don't use this lightly, the church was dead inside.

The longer we were there, the more we realized that all the parts of the church community were really just going through motions. There was no passion for Jesus. This church was there to be a nonprofit for social justice. Take in tax-exempt donations, be available periodically for homeless to come and eat, and pump out a message of smug liberal superiority.

I had a hard time reconciling which parts of the Bible were OK to throw away and which parts to keep. Otherwise know as interpreting the "Hard texts".

I AM NO SAINT and certainly am a sinner, but come on, retelling drunken retreat party in a sermon while hung over.

Broken church indeed. Half the congregation just loved his sermon on "love", though.

My mother in law's church in Dallas has been taken over by
SJW and gays -I do not think they are going to go back to a traditional protestant church. The church is in an area with a lot of gays. Their attendance has been way down for years. She had to stop going to the church because she lives too far away from it (she went that church starting in the 1930s and kept up attendence until last year.) Close to 80 years as a faithful member. Church is attended by mostly gays now.

Well, so long as you don't leave them alone with your sons, there is only so much damage they can inflict. Homosexuality, meaning the acts thereof, are a great sin, but so is gluttony, and simony, and bearing false witness, etc. The same-sex attraction, by itself, is no sin. There are many holy priests who struggle with that and manage to NOT commit the sin itself.

Meanwhile, in spite of the obvious sins committed, a duly ordained priest confects the Eucharist, and Jesus is truly present.

So, you take the good with the bad.

After all, we are all sinners, and if we jettison everyone who commits sin, there would be no Church and no need for one.

Question: What was purpose of Fast & Furious?
Answer: Collapse support for the 2nd A, allowing for mass banning of legal weapons.

Question: What was the purpose of Obamacare?
Answer: Collapse the American health care system and open the door to Single Player.

In 2014, somebody (Obama *cough cough*) decided to play "Pied Piper" in Central America, and organized the mass movement of non-adults towards America (In essence, a reverse F&F).

Why? To collapse the immigration system, and set up a perfect pretext for MASS AMNESTY for 14 ~ 30 million illegals.
