A Weekly Review of the Whacky Left

I’ve been collecting these for a week or so, the only connection is they are all generated by various branches of the whacky left.

From the Green Belt:

1. Green Party switches strategy in Pennsylvania recount

Hours after a Green Party-backed campaign dropped its case in state courts they announce a change to their strategy to force a statewide recount of Pennsylvania's Nov. 8 presidential election, won by Republican Donald Trump, and said late Saturday night that it will seek help in the federal courts, rather than the state courts.

To say George Soros is a sore loser is an understatement. He will take this to Hell and back in an attempt to get the verdict he’s looking for.

2. Liberals Mock Victims of Wildfire in Tennessee Because They Voted for Trump

Hating on victims because they a) voted for Trump b) are global warming deniers c) are Christian and d) enjoy “white privilege.”

What is it with Leftists’ preoccupation with fire anyway?

“People Get Angry and They Burn Things” – Whoopie Goldberg

Like flags, Ferguson, Baltimore, Milwaukee…and anybody they disagree with.

Protesters in LA unhappy with the election results turn to fire for a little stress relief.

From the Campus Belt:

1. Student Sues University After Accruing $224K in Debt But Getting No Degree

This woman was trying to get her doctorate in education. Six years later, she still doesn’t have a degree and is drowning in debt. How does this happen?

A doctorate in Education? At any point did it occur to her that this was a waste of money? She should have enrolled in Trump University instead; she might have learned how to negotiate a settlement of that debt.

2. Ohio State Knife Attacker Abdul Artan Was Taking a Class About Microaggressions

Before he was shot dead while attempting to murder a bunch of people with a car and a butcher's knife, Ohio State University student Abdul Artan—a Somali-born Pakistani immigrant who reportedly became radicalized after learning about injustices committed against fellow Muslims—was enrolled in a class called "Crossing Identity Boundaries."

In fact, he had a group project on "microaggressions" due later this week. The assignment, worth 15 percent of his grade, required students to find a dozen examples of microaggressions on social media and explain which identity groups were the victims, according to the syllabus.

When are we going to stop teaching hate?

3. Toronto university Muslim groups block passage of motion to hold Holocaust Education Week

“It’s a systemic issue … (on) many university campuses across Canada … Universities are funded by taxpayer dollars and there needs to be some accountability at the government level.”

In (again): Anti-Semitism. Out: Islamophobia. Any other questions?

From the LGBTQ Belt.

1. Chip And Joanna Gaines’ Church Is Firmly Against Same-Sex Marriage

Chip and Joanna Gaines’ series Fixer Upper is one of the most popular shows on HGTV…they were the subject of a long profile in Texas Monthly that credited them with revitalizing the city of Waco, Texas, where the show is set and where their businesses are located…The couple are riding a wave of success, largely due to their charm and appeal…They have built a small empire, and they are not done yet. They have a huge retail space in Waco, as well as a new magazine, the Magnolia Journal; they have a real estate company; Joanna has a paint line and a home decor line. Season 4 of Fixer Upper begins Nov. 29.

And they are devout Christians so they must be taken down.

Their church, Antioch Community Church, is a nondenominational, evangelical, mission-based megachurch. And their pastor, Jimmy Seibert, who described the Gaineses as “dear friends” in a recent video, takes a hard line against same-sex marriage and promotes converting LGBT people into being straight.

So are the Gaineses against same-sex marriage?

Unfortunately for BuzzFeed they must not have gotten the memo about Trump winning. This death-by inuendo tactic doesn’t work quite as easily as it did BT (Before Trump™).

The BuzzFeed News report sparked a firestorm of criticism from Christians who argued that people who oppose same-sex marriage and LGBT rights are persecuted by the media. A Lutheran pastor published a piece in The Federalist under the headline, “BuzzFeed Wants To Destroy Chip And Joanna Gaines For Being Christian And Wildly Popular.” The Washington Post published an opinion piece calling it a “non-story.” And Megyn Kelly’s show The Kelly File featured a discussion of the story, with Fox News’ Dana Perino concluding it had “backfired” on BuzzFeed.

the Iowahawk has a suggestion: 

 

2. Related story: Nation Shocked, Horrified As Christians Hold Christian Position (h/t Instapundit)

“We’re not saying people can’t be Christians,” a Seattle woman said in a Facebook comment. “This is a free country, after all. But when Christians decide to actually have Christian beliefs about things—I’m sorry, that’s just too far.”

Christianity remains the only religion in America officially sanctioned for persecution. With a new sheriff in town you can expect that to change.

“The word Christmas: I love Christmas,” he said. “I love Christmas. You go to stores now, you don’t see the word Christmas. It says, ‘Happy holidays’ all over. I say, ‘Where’s Christmas?’ I tell my wife, ‘Don’t go to those stores.’ “

“I want to see Christmas — no, I want to see Christmas,” he said to applause.

“And you know, other people can have their holidays … but Christmas is Christmas,” he said. “[Remember] the expression ‘Merry Christmas?’ You don’t see it anymore. You’re [going to] see it if I get elected, I can tell you right now. I can tell you right now.” – Washington Times

The Gaines family, and Donald Trump, wish you a Merry Christmas

In: “Merry Christmas” Out: “Happy Holidays”

Anyone Who Gets The Media So Wee-Weed Up Is Doing Something Right

I hereby bestow my Column of the Week – on second thought make that of the Century – award to Roger L. Simon for this: Panic in Progressive Park: What If He’s Actually Good? 

And while Roger’s columns are generally award worthy simply because of his command of the English language this award is for being the first to acknowledge a very real possibility: Donald Trump may just turn out to be a great president:

Reason for the panic -- the dawning realization, repressed and often unrecognized though it may be, that Donald Trump may even a be a good president, possibly a great one.

Contemplate for a moment what the world will look like if Donald Trump accomplishes even half of what he promised. A hundred years hence historians will marvel at the impact just one man had on the course of history. The 2016 election will be seen as the 21st century’s pivot point; the precise moment at which the pendulum on it’s racing arc towards “progressivism” suddenly stopped and began the journey back towards individual autonomy – a place once known as “America.”

Trump’s election will be taught to future students of political science as the point in human history where the people decided to take the path that leads back to American values.

Path to American values: turn right and stay on track

Where liberty means more individual freedom and less intrusive government. Where equality once again means equal opportunity not forced equal outcome. Where justice requires that the Constitution be upheld and laws enforced, and rogue Federal Agencies are punished for unlawfully abridging citizens rights.

November 8, 2016  will be marked as the point where the debilitating adherence to political correctness began to reverse course. The point where words began to mean what they were intended to mean once again, enabling meaningful communication between people who disagree.

It will be seen as the point at which the West was finally able to name and condemn Islamic-fascism as the evil ideology it is in order to annihilate it - along with all the bastards who propagated it.

And let it be noted that like the Founders who preceded him by nearly 250 years, Donald J. Trump has also risked his life, his fortune and his honor to help re-create the greatest nation the world has ever known.

Some of us appreciate that. However until such time as history reflects favorably on Donald J. Trump he shall be known to America’s journalists, aka Democratic operatives with by-lines, as the white supremacist who said “pussy.”

All I know is that anyone who can get both the media and our other enemies so wee-weed up must be doing something right: 

Prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay military prison in Cuba “thought it was the end of the world” the night of the presidential election and asked their guards for tranquilizers and sleeping pills, CBS correspondent Margaret Brennan reported Thursday. – Free Beacon

Thank’s Obama! You’ve made us ready to MAGA.

America Will Be Great Again Despite All the Nattering Nabobs of Negativity

I watched President-Elect Trump yesterday at what the MSM are calling “victory laps” in the heartland; actually they are “thank you tours.” I also saw his interviews with several Fox News talking heads. To be sure, it was the real Donald Trump, only less bombastic and more presidential. Although he did  scoop his own PR team by announcing the appointment of General Mattis as Secretary of Defense he also passed on the opportunity to say bad things about any of his previous rivals in both parties.

This newly tempered demeanor, along with the near universal praise for the thoughtful and seriously qualified people selected for cabinet positions and his well articulated actions announced for his first 100 days leaves most of the media’s criticism of Trump in the dust. What happened to their rodeo clown?

Yeah, no; this just won’t work for the MSM.

Actually it’s simple: you’ve been Trumped!

Able to build tall buildings (and walls) from a single hole in the ground

That’s right, Donald J. Trump outplayed the players. Having employed every one of Alinsky’s Rules

You heard it first here; Alinsky works for us now!

he managed to stay in the headlines every single day following his announcement of running for president. He was in turn outrageous, intemperate and provocative. How else could you completely undermine the existing corrupt media? The crony system of patronage? The anti-middle class policies enacted over the past 8 years? Yes, he is a populist; you say that as if it’s a bad thing. Aside from the elitists in both parties the American people are delighted to hear that he wants to make us masters of our own destinies again.

You know the Left has reached the end of the road when all they can do is upgrade their enemies from “racists, sexists, homophobes and Islamaphobes” to  “white-supremacists.” Here’s a little of the exchange from last night’s Harvard Kennedy School’s post mortem forum with the Clinton and Trump campaign teams: 

“I would rather lose than win the way you guys did,” said Jennifer Palmieri, Hillary Clinton’s communications director, her voice cracking as she confronted Donald Trump’s campaign team, including manager Kellyanne Conway, sitting a few feet away.

Determined to make her point at a conference historians will use to analyze President-elect Donald Trump’s stunning victory, Palmieri said the platform the Trump campaign gave to “white supremacists and white nationalists” was “a very, very important moment in our history of our country.”

An angry Conway replied, “Do you think I ran a campaign where white supremacists had a platform? . . . Are you going to look me in the face and tell me that?”

“You did Kellyanne, you did,” Palmieri said. – Chicago Sun Times

As far as I can tell the rest of the Hillary team strategy involved charging all internet news sources that refused to run with the official Democrat Party Talking Points Memos as “fake news.” Post-defeat they added whining about how it’s not fair Hillary lost when she won the popular vote. In their alternate universe the world works the way they want it to work, not the way it was designed to work. Not entirely their fault: America as a representative Republic has not been taught in American classrooms since the mid ‘60s.

Yes people, this is no longer your Mommy and Daddy’s government; the intelligentsia, the elites, the crony capitalists are about to be replaced with thoughtful adults who are committed to Making America Great Again. More like you grandparents’ government only better.

Any-hoo, I’d like to send this message to President-Elect Trump: we hear and appreciate your heartfelt “thank you” to those of us who supported you. Butt allow me, on behalf of the thinking half of America, say, “thank YOU Mr. Trump; for hearing the American people sing.

For making us believe that America will indeed be great again despite all the nattering nabobs of negativity. Thank You.

Any More Questions?

And so we are to depart on the same false note on which we arrived:  pigeon-toed fashion icon.

Coming…

And going…

First Lady Michelle Obama's style is the gift that keeps on giving!

The First Lady has been a pillar of true style since 2008, so it's no surprise that she slayed in a look perfect for the occasion.

Donning a super festive blue, silver and red floral printed dress with a bow detail, FLOTUS completed her ensemble with chic silver pumps and a sleek bob.

To say that we'll miss Mrs. Obama's iconic fashion is an understatement, but this look is definitely a great way to begin wrapping up her time in the White House.

As if she hasn't been inspiration enough, FLOTUS has single handedly reminded us that it's time to start really thinking about holiday party style and gave us a great look to start with. – Essence

And if you had hoped to one day relive this nightmare Camelot administration well, forget about it: Lady M is not interested in working that hard:

“Michelle will never run for office,” Obama told Rolling Stone in an interview following the 2016 election. “She’s too sensible to want to be in politics.” - Jet

Right, her sensibilities are far more Hollywood than D.C.

Butt don’t worry, neither of them are really going to go away:

The good news is the Obamas plan to go back to where they got their start —promoting progressive values at the grass-roots level, with a focus on working with Democrats to help bring back White working class voter, who voted for Obama in 2012, but not for Hillary in 2016.

Oh great, NOW they’re concerned about the White working class voter.

Often the only White people around are Secret Service

“We have to reinvigorate the DNC so that it’s not viewed as a Washington entity but rather that it is a grassroots organization that is out all across the country and making a common cause with working people.”

Butt not until they’ve had a little R&R.

Before the Obamas take on the challenge of reinvigorating the Democratic Party, they plan to get some sleep and take a “well-deserved vacation.”

You know who really deserves a vacation? White middle-class workers, that’s who.

Any more questions about why Donald J. Trump won?

The Cave of the Snow Goons

I have a minor surgery this morning so I’m turning the whole thing over to you guys. Mind your manners, don’t forget the MOTUS Rule Book (sidebar) and clean up after yourselves.

To get things rolling, what do you say we all contemplate the awesomeness of our Great Presidential Christmas Hall of the Snow Goons.

Try to focus on the impermanence of the snow goons; that should make the fundamental transformation of the Central Hall into a third rate mall a bit easier to deal with.

Then imagine them all committing hari kari. That should be fun.

Snow Goon Shrine of the First Jilted Female President

I’ll check in later this afternoon to see who’s been naughty and nice.

Don’t Worry, We’re On the Wall

Another drive-thru slashing attack, injuring 11 people: motive unknown;

“I am sick and tired of seeing my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters being killed and tortured EVERYWHERE. I can't take it anymore.”

“America! Stop interfering with other countries, especially Muslim Ummah (communities)... [if] you want us Muslims to stop carrying lone wolf attacks.”  - Abdul Razak Ali Artan

We’re going to need a lot more crayons and play-doh around here.

Especially since, sorry Tim Caine,  there were no guns involved - and other inconvenient truths.

H/T FrancinePink

If only Abdul Razak Ali Artan would have come to the student union to color inside the lines,

make stuff out of Play-Doh

and play with our comfort puppies…

none of this would have happened.

So stay calm cupcakes:

There will always be someone on the wall, someone like Officer Alan Horujko to protect you from crazy Islamic Terrorists trying to kill you by driving through a crowd of pedestrians, brandishing a machete or wielding a gun. Then again, you didn’t vote for him, did you, cupcake?

Butt that’s okay, you keep defending your “safe-spaces”

and we’ll keep building the wall. And protecting it. For you.

Only You Can Stop Californication

Seriously, it is approaching a month and leftists are still foaming at the mouth, coloring outside the lines, and diaper pinning their lapels. Frankly I think it would be more helpful if they used them to pin their yaps shut. Or maybe their noses.

“I said, ‘stick a fork in it’ honey, but I guess that works too.”

And while the despair is felt everywhere you find a liberal, it’s perhaps worst in California.  Here’s a first-person account of what it’s like to be a conservative in America’s theme park for liberal hipsters these days:

The day was full of whining and bewilderment from the lawyers I work with, with much vulgar contempt for Trump voters…I kept my head down and did not say much.

I went out for lunch, and was astonished to see high schoolers marching under Mexican Flags, and “Pride” Flags on Market Street. In the actual street! My first thought was that this is no place for children, as Market Street has many bums urinating and young ladies openly injecting drugs into their arms. Who let them out of school?…

At the end of the day, I took the elevator down with silent strangers. There were hipsters, young people lucky enough to be employed in the new information (advertising?) economy, the new “masters of the universe”, able to afford San Francisco and things. At the last moment, a guy looking like Pajama Boy, but dressed for work in skin tight pants, cool shoes, untucked shirt and full brimmed hat,

announced, “dark times ahead”. Such is the wisdom of children…

“No, hon, take the Crayola out of your nose and color in the pretty book, okay?”

My colleagues, lawyers all, informed and smart and good people almost all (I know, cue the guffaws) are reporting “massive voter suppression” in 33 states. Massive vote tampering, etc. (Fake news might actually be a real problem). A very handsome, elegant, black man with an impeccable British accent is reporting hostile glares and Uber discrimination on the streets of San Francisco! An Indian women is afraid of internment camps and trying to come up with an escape plan. The worst was a lawyer reporting to our boss that he had purchased a gun “to protect his minority friends”…  - Richochet

Actually San Francisco is different from the rest of the country only in respect to the homogeneity (as in milk, not gender preference) of their liberalism. All across America wherever Progressives gather the reaction has been the same. And as they always think they comprise the majority, who could possibly object to their spouting off over their deep despair, hatred for Trump and sense of loss?

I don’t know about the rest of the country butt this old joke (h/t Rodin) about France might explain California:

The Brits, Germans, Spanish and Italians all complained to God about His Creation: France. “Why,” they asked,”did He put so many wonderful things in France, while only putting a few good things in their own countries?” God responded that, “Yes, it is true that I put many wonderful things in France, but then I balanced it out by populating it with the French people.”

Remember, only you can stop Californication #trumpwon.

Hillary’s Annus Horribilis

I’m sure you remember this: Clinton Said Not Accepting Election Results Was ‘Horrifying’

“That’s horrifying.”

“That’s not the way our democracy works. We’ve been around 240 years. We’ve had free and fair elections and we’ve accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them and that is what must be expected of anyone standing on a debate stage during a general election. President Obama said the other day that when you’re whining before the game is even finished it just shows you’re not even up to doing the job. “

Although not horrifying enough to prevent her from supporting recounts herself now that she’s lost fair and square.

Hillary Clinton’s campaign will participate in vote recounts of Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan if they take place…the Clinton campaign “will participate in order to ensure the process proceeds in a manner that is fair to all sides.”

Because “fairness” is a core principle for liberals of all stripes…and colors.

And I’m also sure you remember how horrified The Washington Post was when they discovered that Hillary lost because of Russian-backed “fake news sites” like Drudge. I guess it would have seemed a too obvious case of projection if the story had run in the New York Times.

In yet another outbreak of disappointus horribilis, the snowflakes too are horrified that their preferred candidate lost.  Even if they didn’t bother to actually drag their sorry asses to the polls to vote for her. Thanks to self-esteem curriculums in place since their conception they’ve never experienced loss before.

Snowflakes react to Election Horribilis

Perhaps I’ve become desensitized to all things horribilis over these past 8 years or so, butt I don’t find any of these things even mildly horrible; does that make me deplorable? There is however one thing that still causes me to quake in my mukluks - the thought of having to look at this mug everyday for the next 4 years:

Hillary, posing with a fan while she and Bill shop for Thanksgiving in a Chappaqua grocery

And don’t tell me Hilz doesn’t have a sense of humor - note the sign above her head: COOKED FOOD.

“My goose may be cooked, butt I’m still hoarding all these golden eggs. I think I’ll paint them green.”

It ain’t easy being green, butt as they say, any port in a storm.
