ONE STAND TOO FAR:  No, I Won’t Stand With Ilhan Omar … EVER.

AT LEAST NO ONE HAS TO EXPLAIN TO THEIR LITTLE KIDS — NOW — WHY ALL ADULTS BLUSH AT THE MENTION OF CIGARS AND BLUE DRESSES:  Trump is Teaching Our Children All the Bad Things.

Note that the presidents I used (and only parts of their bios) as role models for my kids were George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and the more expurgated parts of Benjamin Franklin (Until they got old enough to savor double entendres.)  And that as a libertarian my response to the Clinton mess was “Aye, very good. It’s only sex. And if the president submits to his private life being on pay-perview he can just sex as much as he wants. And we can pay the national debt.” It’s the hypocrisy that annoys me.

CAN STILL BE TAKEN OUT BY AN AVERAGE-FIT HIGH SCHOOL BOY: “Super-Strong” Women?

Women shouldn’t be trying to compete with men in physical strength. Women have strength and qualities of their own. Pushing women towards being (bad) imitation men is not good for women, men or civilization.

MOSTLY BECAUSE OBAMA SHOULD NEVER HAVE TAKEN IT OUT:  Why the census citizenship question is so important .

AND IF WE HAD A HONEST PRESS, PEOPLE WOULD BE LINING UP TO BUY HER A ONE-WAY TICKET TO SOMALIA:  Ilhan Omar: well, she’s honest about her drive for power, anyway.

I WANT TO SEE SCENES FROM THE DEMOCRATS SANITY ROOM. DOES IT EXIST?  Scenes from the Democratic Panic Room.

ACE OF SPADES HQ, IN THE INTRODUCTION TO THIS POST HAS ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTING AND ACCURATE METAPHORS FOR OUR PRESENT SITUATION:

Good morning, kids. I’ve got an image stuck in my head this morning and I can’t seem to shake it. It’s from the final scene of Alfred Hitchcock’s wartime thriller Saboteur where the heavy, played by Norman Lloyd is dangling from Lady Liberty’s torch as the hero, Bob Cummings, strains to hold on to his sleeve, desperately trying to save the guy he’s chased for the entire picture who framed him for treasonous sabotage. And then Hitch cuts to a close up of Lloyd’s shoulder where, one by one, the stitches on his jacket sleeve start popping loose…

Everything about that entire scene combines into a metaphor that perfectly encapsulates where the Democrat Party and even more frighteningly the nation as a whole is at this moment in time. We’re coming apart at the seams. The better angels of our nature are desperate to cling to something, anything in our political enemies that will pull them back from the brink, knowing full well that if the situation were reversed, they’d be doing what Martin Landau did to Cary Grant as he dangled from a precipice atop Mount Rushmore in North By Northwest: grind his heel into Grant’s hand.

Beyond any shadow of a doubt (no pun), the Democrat Party has gone from being merely a political enemy and morphed into a mortal enemy not just of the GOP and conservatives, but of the nation as founded, its distinct culture, traditions, heritage and its people.

NOTE HOW FAST IT OVERTOOK MY POLITICALLY ASTUTE FRIEND:

AND SPEAKING OF NUKING THE MOON (PUT ANOTHER PUPPY IN THE BLENDER, BOSS! IT’S CELEBRATION TIME!*), MY FRIEND FRANK J. FLEMING HAS A NEW BOOK OUT:  Hellbender.

Doug wasn’t sure whether he should trust Satan.

The red flag was that he said he was Satan. But the deal was good: Listen to Satan’s story in exchange for some donuts. And Doug only half-fulfilled his part of the bargain.

But maybe he should have listened better, because during his friend Bryce’s next scheme (theft with light to moderate treason—the usual), Doug and the rest of his friends—Lulu (the fun one) and Charlene (the not fun one)—end up with a powerful artifact, a small metal cube with world-ending power that Lulu decorated with bunnies. And now everyone wants the bunny cube, which means Doug, Bryce, Lulu, and Charlene are being pursued by an insane supermodel general, an army of sadists, a vast criminal organization, a smaller, more-in-startup-mode criminal organization, and an unstoppable killing machine—the worst kind of killing machine.

Doug and his friends may be a bunch of losers who aren’t particularly smart or good at anything, but they have one thing going for them: a really cool name for their mercenary group. And now it’s up to Hellbender to save the world—well, what’s left of it. It’s pretty ruined and war-torn already. But, you know, they live there, so they kind of need it.

It’s a mess, but that’s what you get for listening to Satan. Or half-listening.

*For those who are new to the world of blogs. No puppies were harmed in making this post. It’s a very old joke between Frank J. Fleming’s IMAO and instapundit involving the world’s cheesiest photoshop.
It’s puerile and therefore, of course, appeals to me. Now stop gawking at me and go buy Frank’s book.

… Unless socialism is a race. than i suppose trump is racist. of course in that case, i’m also racist. and you’re racist, and you’re racist, and any sane person is racist.

Fortunately socialism and stupidity are just flaws of human nature. not races.
