NO. JUST NO. CONSENT MY SORE FEET. IF YOUR NORMAL COUPLE NEEDS FOUR HANDS, FOR THE AVERAGE, UNCOORDINATED GREEK COUPLE THIS WOULD REQUIRE A FOURSOME OR MAYBE A SIXSOME, AND YOU KNOW THOSE THINGS ALWAYS END UP WITH SOMEONE’S ELBOW IN SOMEONE ELSE’S EYE, ALL MORAL CONSIDERATIONS ASIDE:  This ‘consent condom’ takes four hands to open.

I TOO WAS INVOLVED IN THE TEA PARTY AND IN OTHER MALIGNED MOVEMENTS, AND KNOW THAT THE DEMOCRATS DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE PHENOMENON. AFTER ALL, ALL THEY HAVE FOR GRASS ROOTS IS ASTROTURF:  Self-Organizing Community.

 

NOT JUST INEFFECTIVE. THIS IS KNOWN AS ‘DIGGING A PIT THEY WILL FALL IN’:  Ineffective Democrat subpoenas.  Younger son says “Sometimes it’s like Trump is a time traveler who knows exactly the best way to drive the democrats nuts.”

NEW FROM MARGARET BALL:  Salt Magic: A Regency fantasy romance (Regency Magic Book 1).

An enchanting heroine. A layered plot. Mystery, romance, intrigue. I had to prevent myself from looking at the end to see how it all turned out. You must buy this book. I want her to write many more in this strange and alluring world. – Sarah A. Hoyt.

Bookish and shy, Sabira has a perfect marriage of convenience to the elderly Lord Steinnland and his library, marred only by her family’s urging to trick her husband into releasing his claim to their island fastness. But time and tide bring the irritating, if handsome, Viscount Iveroth, and on his heels, scheming visitors who kill her elderly Lord and release a plague of sea monsters.

Now Sabira must travel to the city of Din Eidyn and fight to save her home and her people, with Iveroth as her only ally. But as they battle black magicians and drawing room politics, the hardest fight of all is hiding her growing feelings for the Viscount… and the fact that she’s not human…

Note my quote at the top. I was one of the beta readers on this book, and I loved it.  Buy it, so she’ll write more!

 

NOT EVERYONE IN MY FIELD IS INSANE. OF COURSE, THIS IS WHY MARGARET BALL IS NOW INDIE:  It’s not #MeToo, it’s just plain creepy.

Speaking of, she has new books out.  I’ll link the new one in the next post.

YOU KNOW, WHAT THE LEFT CAN’T UNDERSTAND IS THAT THERE IS ALLEGIANCE OF OTHER THAN RACE OR ETHNICITY.  US LEGAL LATIN IMMIGRANTS HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN BEING INVADED BY LATIN-AMERICA. IF WE LIKED THE CULTURE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN EASIER TO MOVE THERE.  NOT TO MENTION A LOT OF OUR IMAGE AND OUR KIDS’ IMAGE IS TAINTED BY THE ILLEGALS WHO COME TO THE STATES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EVERYTHING THEY CAN AND SUBVERT OUR REPUBLIC:  Polls: Trump’s approval rating among Hispanics approaches 50 percent.

SPENGLER: To Stop the Deep State, Bring Back Mike Flynn!

President Trump should pardon Gen. Flynn right now and summon him back to Washington. Mueller forced Flynn to plead guilty to an invented charge of lying to FBI agents, even though the FBI agents who interviewed him about Russian contacts said that they thought he was telling the truth. Now that the Mueller investigation has come up with nothing, the frame-up of Gen. Flynn appears all the more heinous. The Deep State feared Mike Flynn, with good reason. Trump should reappoint him to a top job, and really terrify his opponents.

Flynn’s Defense Intelligence Agency produced a now-notorious 2012 report warning that CIA backing for Sunni rebels fighting Assad would lead to the rise of a new Caliphate movement, namely ISIS. The Obama administration threw its support behind the “Arab Spring” rebellion in Syria, ignoring the fact that Islamist terrorists led the opposition to Assad. This was reported exhaustively in specialist media, for example, Brad Hoff’s July 2016 essay in Foreign Policy Journal: Flynn humiliated the bungling CIA and exposed the incompetence and deception of the Obama administration, and got fired for it.

If the proper authorities turn over the CIA’s rock and examine its underside, the result will be the exposure of an intelligence failure of galactic proportions. The CIA channeled Saudi money into al-Qaeda fronts in Syria and helped move a large part of the late Col. Qaddafi’s massive arsenal to Syria. The jihadists backed by the CIA eventually formed a good deal of ISIS. Heads would roll at CIA. And when I say “proper authorities,” I mean Gen. Flynn in his capacity as National Security Adviser, a job in which he lasted a month before the Deep State set him up and persuaded President Trump to fire him.

Some of the money went to unfortunate places, and they didn’t want that to come out.

OPEN THREAD: Talk, talk.

A BIG WIN FOR CONSERVATIVES IN WISCONSIN?

If their candidate’s lead holds, the state supreme court could have a conservative majority for years to come.

In Tuesday’s Wisconsin supreme-court election, conservatives appear to have scored a shocking upset victory. With only a handful of precincts left to report, conservative-backed Brian Hagedorn leads liberal-backed Lisa Neubauer by nearly 6,000 votes out of 1.2 million cast, according to unofficial results.

The liberal Neubauer called for a recount, which a losing candidate may do — if she pays for it herself — when the margin is less than one percentage point. (Taxpayers pick up the tab at margins less than 0.25 points.) But a lead of 6,000 votes would almost certainly be insurmountable in a recount, assuming there were no unusually large tabulation errors Tuesday night, as there was in a 2011 supreme-court election in the state.

Hopefully 6000 votes is outside the margin of ACORN, as Stephen Kruiser once quipped.

CORNELL HAS A REUNION SPEECH CODE: A FIRE supporter passed this along to us today, saying he found it highly insulting. I can see why. Its threats of “consequences for unacceptable behavior” sound like a parent scolding a child.

Cornell sent this infantilizing pamphlet to alums attending their 55th class reunion. But don’t worry, Big Higher Ed assures us there’s no problem.

JUST THINK OF IT AS THE NEWSPEAK DICTIONARY.COM: Dictionary.com Drops Feminist Anti-Male Poem, Suggests We “Fear” Women.

The social justice verbiage laced throughout this poem automatically puts men into the “toxic masculinity” column, never talking about the positives of men, but only listing what feminists see as the negatives. It also tends to over-revere women, even suggesting we fear them as some kind of authority figure.

Dictionary.com seems to delve into these kinds of socio-political issues from time to time. In one video, a woman gives a history of the Republican party, and suggests not so subtly that people would be surprised to know that Republicans used to not be as racist as they are today.

Dictionary.com also released a video that explains how the word “slut” is actually an empowering term for women.
