We have breaking news, screeched CNN screech Poppy Harlow. It concerns the House Select Committee’s investigation into Benghazi. The Poppy persona had my full attention (from the kitchen sink). What was it that this illiberal oafette had discovered?
Will we finally get the sods at State to disclose when came the urgent cries for military support, in the course of the Sept. 11, 2012 attack? Would we find out who at the State Department ignored the S.O.S and issued a “Stand down” directive?
Most sentient human beings—that probably excludes liberals vested in covering up for their gal, much as it ruled out, in 2003, Republicans covering for their war criminal guy—wouldn’t mind being in the know.
Wouldn’t you say?
How silly of me to have given Harlot the time of day as a newswoman. No, CNN’s Benghazi breaking news was aimed not to update viewers about an “objective fact-finding mission”; give us information as to that “broad-based probe of the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi on September 11, 2012.”
Rather, what Poppy was “reporting” was but part of the drip-drip, tit-for-tat of partisan politicking.
Oh, the worthy Major Bradley Podliska appears to be looking to launch a lucrative law suit for his troubles. Parasites all.
That’s what goes for “breaking news” courtesy of a broken news media.
Check out Poppy’s astounded, breaking-news expression. In Harlow’s world, this is huge:
The public personas who pass as conservatives are NOT system builders. We know them as conservatives not by their well thought-out, philosophically consistent thinking; but because they’ve staked out certain positions on The Issues, over time.
“Gun violence” is the term used by conservatives with this messy habit of mind. A careful thinker would allude to “goon violence.”
“For guns are not the root cause of man’s evil actions. Neither are the multiplying categories of manufactured illness in the psychiatric Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Evil is integral to the human condition, always has been, always will be. Evil can’t be wished away, treated away, medicated away or legislated away. It is here to stay.”
In cahoots with their left-liberal partners in crime, conservative jurists, journalists, politicians and pundits now routinely debase this moral vocabulary. “Gun violence,” they all jabber, is caused by mental illness.
Their cure for goon violence: Bring in the big therapeutic guns to do the diagnosing. With state imprimatur, the witch doctors will lay the “scientific” cornerstone for walling-in society’s oddballs.
Democrats concur: If someone does something awfully wicked, he must have an illness as real as cancer or Alzheimer’s.
Still, progressives are pioneers in abolishing the fact of evil and replacing it with a diagnosis amenable to state intervention. Did not Joseph Stalin replace the wisdom of the ages with a scientific system that deployed the therapeutic idiom to murder and imprison dissenters? Yes he did.
But while they dare not cop to it openly, a secondary goal exclusive to progressives is to destroy the very idea of a self-reliant citizenry. …
So the goon du jure is Chris Harper Mercer, 26 (no relation).
He shot up a college, in Roseburg, Oregon, killing 10 people and wounding seven.
Initially, the moron media made a song-and dance of not reporting the culprit’s name. Grandiosely, The Kelly File announced its policy of keeping viewers in the dark for their own good, I suppose. They forget that as news media, their mandate is to report the news, not babysit the public or grandstand. That’s the only news I have for you. Otherwise, everything is as it always is:
British citizens seeking advice on what’s legal to use for self-defense found some answers at www.askthe.police.uk, a website sponsored and operated by the government’s Police National Legal Database.
Question 589: Are there any legal self-defence products that I can buy?
Answer: The only fully legal self-defence product … is a rape alarm.
There may be other products, according to the website, but they haven’t been fully tested and “if you purchase one you must be aware … there is always the possibility that you will arrested and detained until the product, its contents and legality, can be verified.”
Who’re the Brits calling primitive atavists!!!!
Your moment of zen:
“Guns are not the root cause of man’s evil actions. Neither are the multiplying categories in the psychiatric Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Evil is part of the human condition, always has been, always will be. Evil can’t be wished away, treated away, medicated away or legislated away. Evil is here to stay. Bad people do bad things. Deal, as they say in the hood.”—Excerpted from “Gun Violence’? No! Goon Violence” (9/4/2015).
News is news the first time it’s reported. Unless there are developments in a newsworthy case, harping on an item endlessly is usually meant to heighten emotions, shape opinion in politically pleasing way, and send viewers hissing to social media to create a buzz. Moron media’s latest parlor game revolves around Donald Trump’s infraction of some or another pillar of political correctness concerning Muslims and Islam. Via Fox News:
“We have a problem in this country. It’s called Muslims,” said the first man Trump called on to ask a question. “We know our current president is one. You know he’s not even an American.”
Trump, who was a driver of the “birther” movement that claimed Obama wasn’t born in the U.S, first responded with feigned exasperation — “We need the question,” he said, to laughs — but let the man continue.
“We have training camps growing where they want to kill us. That’s my question,” the questioner continued. “When can we get rid of it?”
Trump did not dispute the man’s assertions and answered: “We’re going to be looking at a lot of different things. And you know, a lot of people are saying that, and a lot of people are saying that bad things are happening out there. We’re going to be looking at that and plenty of other things.”
I’d have asked the questioner if he is familiar with comedian Sasha Baron Cohen, creator of the character of Borat, the “bumbling Kazakh TV presenter,” and his hit, “Throw the Jew down the well“? Sounds like the Trump questioner would like to throw the Muslim down the well.
Posted below are the lyrics to Borat’s classic. You can adapt them by substituting “Jew” for the ethnic group of your choice. (Readers new to my sense of humor should know that this is all in good fun):
This is song called Nemobozorbicha Domovan. It mean “In My Country There Is Problem.”
In my country there is problem
And that problem is transport
It take very very long
Because Kazakhstan is big
Throw transport down the well
So my country can be free
So my country can be free
We must make travel easy
Then we have a big party
In my country there is problem
And that problem is the Jew
They take everybody money
And they never give it back
Throw the Jew down the well
So my country can be free
So my country can be free
You must grab him by his horns
Then we have a big party
If you see the Jew coming
You must be careful of his teeth
You must grab him by his money
And I tell you what to do
Throw the Jew down the well
So my country can be free
So my country can be free
You must grab him by his horns
You must grab him by his horns
Then we have a big party
Then we’ll have a big party
Throw the Jew down the well
Throw the Jew down the well
So my country can be free
So my country can be free
You must grab him by his horns
You must grab him by his horns
Then we have a big party
