Trump to Jeb!: If You’re In America Speak English

Responding to jellyfish Jeb! who has gone all negative this week and who blasted him to an adoring Miami audience en español, Republican frontrunner Donald Trump had a simple message: if you are in America you should be speaking English. While the establishment continues to bemoan the sullying of their entitled golden boy who represents the Bush restoration by a vulgarian the likes of Trump, El Jebbo is testing Newton’s law of gravity with his free fall in the polls. Perhaps his castigating of the Donald to a crowd peppered with those who are sympathetic to illegal aliens makes him feel like a man but he will continue to be flogged like a dog with mange by the insurgent billionaire.

Trump’s counterattack came during an exclusive interview with the conservative website Breitbart News and is detailed in the story “Donald Trump Fires Back at Jeb Bush: He Should Lead by ‘Speaking English’ While in the United States” from which I excerpt the following:

2016 Republican frontrunner Donald Trump told Breitbart News that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush should be speaking English—not the Spanish he spoke to attack Trump in Miami this week—on the campaign trail.

Trump had harsh words for Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) in this interview as well and lit into the donor class, all while saying that the “silent majority” in America is waking up and fighting to take back the country from the political class.

Trump also predicted that he will not only win the White House in 2016, but that he will be re-elected in 2020–predicting he will be a two-term president–and that at the end of his eventual eight years in the White House he will be known to all as a “great conservative” just like Ronald Reagan.

“I like Jeb,” Trump said. “He’s a nice man. But he should really set the example by speaking English while in the United States.”

Trump continues to pummel the former Sunshine State Governor who may be a “nice man” but he lacks the cojones of his older brother who could fuck up a two car funeral but never came across as a eunuch. It is pretty damned obvious that Columba is the one who wears the pants in the John Ellis Bush hacienda. Trump however saved some of his sharpest rhetoric for the neocon’s favorite cabana boy Marco Rubio who he referred to as “Jeb’s plebe”.

According to the Breitbart interview Trump said of ‘Lil Ricky:

“If Marco thinks that the country is great now, he’ll never be elected president because it’s not what it was and it’s not great enough—and we will make the country great again,” Trump said. “But if Marco is satisfied—I like Marco, but that means he’s satisfied. You can’t be satisfied [with where the country is now]. You have to use the word ‘again.’ It’s very important, because if he’s saying that, then that means there’s no room for improvement. That means he’s satisfied, that means he’s unelectable.”

Trump thinks that no matter who the establishment puts forward as the donor class candidate—whether it be Bush, or if Bush continues failing then Rubio, or Ohio Gov. John Kasich, for instance—that “they are all controlled” by the paymasters funding their campaigns.

“They are controlling the politicians—and I used to be one of those people, at the highest level, I was one of them,” Trump said. “Nobody knows the game better than I do. I think part of the reason I’m resonating with the public is that I don’t want money. I feel oftentimes foolish when people want to give me millions and millions of dollars that I’m turning them down. I feel foolish. I just hope the public appreciates what I’m doing.”

Trump said that the donor class paymasters who he says are controlling the politicians like Bush and Rubio “are looking to benefit themselves or their company, whereas I’m looking only to benefit the people of the United States.”

While giving both the master and the plebe a deserved thumping, it is Trump’s comments about the big donors who are the “paymasters” bankrolling the dynamic duo from Florida that should resonate. The high-rollers and wheeler-dealers who shovel money into the coffers of career politicians who have the morals of pederasts, whores and used car salesmen are going to want favors once their candidates get elected. Trump understands this because he was one of the guys shelling out the dough before he decided to run for the presidency.

It is a big reason why many Americans are snatching up pitchforks and joining the Trump revolution, they are sick of being dicked over by the professional liars and flim-flam men who lie to them every election cycle and then sell them out once the votes have been counted. Mr. Trump isn’t beholden to the “paymasters” which is why they are getting ready to go to war with him in September although with a feckless pussy like Jeb! leading the charge they stand a good chance of being slaughtered on the beach.

Even Frank Luntz is Now Saying that Trump May be Unstoppable

In a troubling sign for the Republican party establishment, even their longtime pollster Frank Luntz has been forced to admit that insurgent candidate Donald Trump may now be unstoppable. Luntz, who ran afoul of Trump with his obviously rigged focus group right after the big Fox News debate and was blasted as a “low class slob” by the Donald, has conducted another focus group study and the results are stunning. The people who were involved indicated that their support for Trump marked a total rejection of a political establishment that has finally taken a dump on them one time too many and that they are mad as hell about it. Mr. Luntz stated that: “This is real. I’m having trouble processing it. Like, my legs are shaking.”

As reported by political analyst Claude Brodesser-Akner of NJ.com in the article “ Trump may be 'impossible to take down,' top Republican pollster says”:

A new focus group commissioned by GOP pollster Frank Luntz shows Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump is virtually invulnerable to attack by rival 2016 candidates and the media, leading Luntz to say that it is now "totally conceivable" that Trump will become the Republican Party's nominee for president.

"The Republican leadership needs to wake up and see that the grass roots has abandoned them," said Luntz, the head of Luntz Global, a top GOP polling and messaging consultancy.

"This is a different cat," Luntz added. "It's not like Ross Perot in 1992, where people were simply unhappy with the two major parties; they're choosing Trump affirmatively. Honestly, my legs are shaking looking at these numbers. All those people who think he's going to implode are wrong. He's not going away."

Assembled in a room behind mirrored glass in an Alexandria, Va. office building, 29 current and former Trump supporters held forth on what they like and dislike about the controversial real estate tycoon, who owns three New Jersey golf courses and once owned three Atlantic City casinos.

Most notably, the intensity of the group's support for Trump was matched only by their dislike of establishment GOP candidates and politics as usual. At one point, a woman named Rhiannon explained her support of Trump by lamenting that "it appears that there's only one party." A whopping 25 of 29 participants in the focus group immediately and heartily agreed with her.

"Nobody is listening to us," echoed another supporter identified only as 'Suzanne.' "(But) he's listening to us, he knows what we think and he's successful just like we want to be."

Elections do have consequences and it is a pretty safe bet that a good deal of the anger towards the GOP establishment and their massive slate of candidates – Jeb! and the 15 dwarfs – stems from the great betrayal of the 2014 mid-term elections. Conservatives mobilized and turned out in huge numbers to express their disapproval with the Obama occupying government and were fired up by promises of change, accountability and stopping Barry’s policies dead in their tracks. They were then rewarded with having a butcher knife embedded between their shoulder blades by the “leadership” dream team of John Boehner and Mitch McConnell who immediately resumed their positions as Obama’s footstools once they had been safely reelected.

Naturally conservatives felt betrayed, especially when McConnell and Boehner surrendered to Obama after they gave up any leverage on preventing amnesty for illegal aliens when that big greasy pork sandwich the "cromnibus" was passed to fund the government last December. There are only so many times that you can play people for chumps and suckers and get away with it and now with a huge number of the party base embracing Trump it looks like the jig is finally up. While the establishment still plots to somehow knock him out – barring him from ballot access in Virginia is the latest scheme – the ship has sailed as far as being able to easily sell the Bush restoration to the peasants who now have armed themselves with pitchforks.

When even a guy like Frank Luntz is forced to admit that Trump’s support is real and growing and that he could be the nominee – a Clinton slayer – it should serve as a wake-up call for the party bosses to get out in front of the parade lest they be trampled by it.

The Terminator: New Poll Shows Indestructible Donald Trump Still Leading the Pack

He takes a licking and keeps on ticking. Insurgent outsider Donald Trump has once again survived everything that the establishment media can throw at him and has emerged relatively unscathed and still leading the pack. After three days of non-stop pounding over phantom comments he allegedly made about Fox News hostess Megyn Kelly having her period in the aftermath of the big Republican debate, the first reputable poll shows the Donald way out front of the competition. The party bosses, big time donors and media moguls have to be stunned that Trump - after having already survived the carpet bombing over the senile old fool John McCain that was to have done him in - has now come through the firestorm after another relentless media bombardment that would have destroyed lesser men.

The poll, conducted by Reuters/Ipsos has Trump still taking all of his competition for the Republican nomination to the woodshed by a large margin. Reuters reports on the failure to crush the most hated man in America in the story “Exclusive: Trump's Republican support holds strong post-debate - Reuters/Ipsos poll”:

Donald Trump continued to defy the laws of political gravity on Monday as a Reuters/Ipsos poll found the real estate mogul holding onto a wide lead among Republicans in the U.S. presidential race despite an acerbic debate and a feud with a female television anchor that have bolstered charges of sexism.

Trump led the party's 17-strong 2016 presidential field with the backing of 24 percent of Republican voters, unchanged from before Thursday's televised debate.

His closest rival, former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, trails at 12 percent, down from 17 percent before the debate. No other candidate earned more than 8 percent in the online poll, conducted between the end of the debate and Sunday.

The reality television star has been under intense criticism for caustic comments about Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly during and after the debate, and was disinvited from a weekend gathering of conservative activists in Georgia after he said Kelly, who helped moderate the debate, had "blood coming out of her wherever."

Trump has been a focus of controversy since June, when he entered the race for the Republican nomination in the November 2016 election.

Harsh comments about Mexican immigrants drew widespread condemnation and prompted some business partners to sever ties, while his feud with Arizona Senator John McCain, the party's 2008 presidential nominee, has angered many party officials.

But the drama has done little so far to dent Trump's appeal among less affluent, conservative-leaning voters who say his brash style is needed to shake up an overly cautious political system and that his vast wealth would help him resist corrupting influences.

"They want someone who's an outsider, who can upset the applecart," said Craig Robinson, a former political director of the Iowa Republican Party. "They're willing to deal with a less-than-perfect candidate if they believe it will actually change things in Washington."

HBO’s smarmy comedian Bill Maher may have had it right when during this weekend’s show he stated that “Fox tried to put a stake in him and I don’t think they did” and that he could go all the way. The Reuters/Ipsos poll follows an earlier one conducted by NBC/Survey Money and confirms that the establishment may be badly underestimating Trump. He had been wittily tabbed as "Teflon Don" by the punditry but that doesn't do him justice, he's more like the fucking Terminator.

Conservative Daily Kos Bans Donald Trump from Big Event

As the establishment fully embraces the phony Democrat “war on women” in the latest attempt to stop the momentum of the Trump revolution, those who seek to curry favor with the GOP party bosses are falling over themselves to pitch in. Take for example the conservative website Red State which is soaking up headlines for banning the Donald from their big annual whoop de doo where he was to have been the top guest.

Red State is the flip side of that den of iniquity of the great orange Satan over at Daily Kos. Like it’s yappy liberal sister, Red State has become an American Idol for bloggers as they seek to curry favor with the proprietors who brook no dissenting opinions and have become minor celebrities. I have had some liberal friends who have told me that Markos Moulitsas-Zuniga of DK is about as leftist as Stalin and RS overlord Erick Erikson seems to be his doppelganger on the so-called right. Erikson is a working class hero today – at least if you listen to the lamestream media – for telling Trump to pound sand and inviting poor, victimized Fox News teleprompter queen Megyn Kelly to speak in his place.

The knives are all out now, the story is getting saturation coverage and it has even gone international as World War Trump has now escaped it’s domestic containment. As reported by The Guardian in the story entitled “Donald Trump Banned from Major Event Over Menstruation Jibe at Megyn Kelly”:

Donald Trump has been officially banned from one of the biggest gatherings of conservative activists after implying he received hostile questioning during the first Republican presidential debate because the television moderator was menstruating.

Trump was uninvited from the RedState Gathering late on Friday after saying in a CNN interview that Fox News’s Megyn Kelly “had blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever”, while questioning him during Thursday night’s debate.

The real estate mogul had been scheduled to appear at a special tailgate at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta at the close of RedState Gathering on Saturday night.

Erick Erickson, the organizer of the event and a major conservative activist tweeted late on Friday night, “I have rescinded my invitation to Mr. Trump. While I have tried to give him great latitude, his remark about Megyn Kelly was a bridge too far.”

In a follow-up blog post, Erickson amplified why he was disinviting Trump: “there are even lines blunt talkers and unprofessional politicians should not cross,” he wrote. “Decency is one of those lines.”

Times and attitudes have certainly changed for Mr. Erickson when it comes to “decency”. He had once referred to former SCOTUS justice David Souter as a “goat fucking child molester” but such rhetoric isn’t exactly conducive to an upwardly mobile career path and the rewards that come from being a water carrier for the establishment.

With all of the coverage that it’s getting today by the drive by media after Trump was told to stay away, you would think that the RedState Gathering was akin to Jesus Christ’s sermon on the mount instead of a soiree that has much in common with the left’s Netroots Nation fiesta. Both are nothing more than a chance for a bunch of aspiring political operatives, media hacks and bloggers to gather in order to sniff the panties of the powerful in one big, loud, glad-handing circle jerk. Were it not for the war on Trump then the media wouldn’t waste ten seconds on it.

For the record, Trump’s comments about Kelly are somewhat dubious. He never did actually say that she was in fact spraying blood from her glory hole as has been universally reported by the electronic character assassination squads. In an attempt to clarify himself, the Donald has spoken. Reuters reports that “U.S.Candidate Trump Defends 'blood' Comment About Debate Moderator":

Trump, who was leading in polls going into the debate, thought Kelly was unfair in asking him about his previous comments on women.

"You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes," Trump said in a CNN interview on Friday. "Blood coming out of her wherever."

Erickson, who invited Kelly to replace Trump at the RedState conference, said he revoked Trump's invitation because he did not "want someone on stage who gets a hostile question from a lady and his first inclination is to imply it was hormonal."

The Trump campaign issued a statement on Saturday, saying, "Mr. Trump made Megyn Kelly look really bad - she was a mess with her anger and totally caught off guard. Mr. Trump said 'blood was coming out of her eyes and whatever' meaning nose, but wanted to move on to more important topics. Only a deviant would think anything else."

Trump also took to Twitter on Saturday to renounce politically correct attitudes, as he had done at the debate.

"So many 'politically correct' fools in our country," he wrote. "We have to all get back to work and stop wasting time and energy on nonsense!"

This country is drowning in political correctness horseshit but I never thought that I would see the day when so-called conservatives would steal the Democrats’ bogus “war on women” shtick and turn it into their own. Just like the botched attack on Trump over his not kissing the feet of “war hero” John McCain his comments are again being distorted. He did not at any time refer to Megyn Kelly’s va va and he is spot on that only a “deviant” would think of that particular body orifice first.

Chris Christie Calls For Rand Paul to Face Stalinist Style Tribunal

I used to believe that the term “fascist pig” was a cliché and a bygone part of the hippie era lexicon but now it is apparent that Chris Christie is the modern personification of it. The Sopranos state Governor today floated the trial balloon that a sitting United States Senator – and political foe – be forced to stand before a government tribunal for actually defending the Constitution. Ironic that such a thing can be said less than 48 hours after Independence day but that is a contradiction that seems to have largely gone unnoticed by most here in the banana republic of Obamastan.

Still tipsy from the adoration showered on him at that weekend slumber party at Mitt Romney’s vacation home the bloated Christie went on MSNBC’s Morning Joe and called for Rand Paul to be brought up before Congress because he opposed the unconstitutional mass surveillance of millions of Americans. The surveillance or bulk phone metadata collection was ruled to be “illegal” by a federal appeals court but was recently renewed by Obama’s top secret surveillance court. Christie would fit in very nicely as one of the authoritarian apparatchik in a totalitarian state but this takes it to another level.

According to The Wall Street Journal in the story “Chris Christie: If U.S. Hit By Terror Attack, Haul Rand Paul Before Congress”:

Gov. Chris Christie on Monday escalated his criticism of Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul over his stance against the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of telephone call records, saying his rival for the Republican presidential nomination should be forced to testify before Congress if the U.S. suffers a terrorist attack.

On MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program Monday morning, Mr. Christie said that Mr. Paul’s opposition to the NSA’s metadata program had made the U.S. “weaker and more vulnerable.”

“He should be in hearings in front of Congress if there’s another attack, not the director of the FBI or the director of the CIA,” said Mr. Christie, a former U.S. Attorney who launched his presidential campaign last week.

Mr. Christie also said that Mr. Paul’s fundraising off his opposition to the NSA program was “disgraceful.” Mr. Paul has frequently put up messages against “NSA spying” on his campaign website.

Mr. Christie has attacked Mr. Paul on the NSA repeatedly this year, at one point comparing him to Edward Snowden, the former NSA contractor whose large leak of secret agency documents touched off debate in Washington over the phone data program.

Mr. Paul has made his opposition to government surveillance one of his top political issues. Mr. Paul argues the surveillance invades personal privacy and is an affront to civil liberties. He was a vocal supporter of a bill that passed the Senate 67-32 last month that curbed the NSA’s bulk phone data collection program. President Barack Obama signed the bill into law.

A spokesman for Mr. Paul’s campaign didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on Monday.

Mr. Christie was set to appear on three national TV morning shows Monday.

The WSJ mentions Christie’s past gig as a U.S. Attorney but shouldn’t such officials be bound by a sworn oath to uphold the Constitution? Christie’s big triumph was the massively overhyped bust of a bunch of hapless Muslim morons labeled as the “Fort Dix Six” who were entrapped. The case was ludicrous from the start with the plot supposedly being that the losers would dress up as pizza delivery drivers and take on hundreds if not thousands of heavily armed soldiers on a highly secured military installation - you just can't make shit like that up or maybe, if you are Chris Christie - you can. 

The website The Intercept chronicles how Governor Jelly Doughnut, who was the prosecutor at the time relied on shoddy evidence and entrapment to get a national springboard for a gubernatorial run in the piece entitled "Christie's Conspiracy".

But back to Christie’s ranting about Paul being blamed for a “terrorist” attack which is such a grossly stupid and arrogant statement that it could have come flying out of the mustachioed pie hole of Joseph Stalin himself. But that is exactly who Chris Christie is, an incompetent, corrupt, bullying fascist who worships big government and seeks to use it as a bludgeon against his political enemies. This guy would make Obama look like a piker if he manages to get elected president which thank God is a really, really long shot.

We are really on the edge of crossing the Rubicon in America where a top presidential candidate  -who is practically being blown by the lamestream media - can get away with such insane threats and innuendo. Rand Paul would be treated like one of the poor schmucks who were rounded up by the NKVD, trotted out for a show trial before a kangaroo court and then sentenced to katorga in the gulags. That is what Chris Christie's vision of America is.

Chris Christie believes that political dissent should be outright criminalized, his strident defense of the USA PATRIOT Act and prior statements confirm it. Why the squealing porker isn’t ever called on his anti-American horseshit shows just how far down the rabbit hole that we have all been dragged by the rogue government since 9/11. While Christie has little chance of winning the GOP nomination he may make an alluring pick for Attorney General under a "Jeb!" regime.

Hey! Hey! Hey! It’s Chris Christie!

"I mean what I say and I say what I mean, and that's what America needs right now,"

-Chris Christie

Arriving on the scene like a charging RINO, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie officially waddled his way into an already bursting at the seams Republican presidential field. Christie’s belated entry has been a foregone conclusion ever since his campaign went live with the website on Saturday. The Garden State boss man made his announcement at his alma matter, Livingston High School where he worked to sell himself as a man of the people who vowed to put the shards of the shattered American dream back into place by working together to solve the nation’s problems.

USA Today is reporting that “Chris Christie officially launches White House bid”:

Christie was joined at Livingston High School by family, childhood friends and longtime supporters for the announcement, which leaned heavily on his family background and the community he grew up in. Two people spoke before Christie took the stage: A friend of his mother's and a former Christie classmate, both from Livingston.

"I've spent the last 13 years of my life, as U.S. attorney and governor of this state, fighting for fairness and justice and opportunity for the people of the state of New Jersey. That fight has not made me more weary. It has made me stronger, and I am now ready to fight for the people of the United States of America," Christie said.

He added that the nation needed to restore "strength and decision-making and authority back in the Oval Office," as he announced his candidacy for the GOP nomination.

Christie entered and exited the stage to music by Bon Jovi, one day after Jon Bon Jovi hosted and performed at a fundraiser for Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. The first song that played as the doors to the gym opened to the public was Bruce Springsteen's Glory Days, but songs from Christie's musical idol were absent from the event itself.

On the eve of his announcement, the governor's office announced a series of actions that would be looked upon favorably by core national constituencies for Republicans

He directed his attorney general to change state regulations to require firearm applications filed by victims of domestic violence or violent crimes to be considered on an expedited basis, within 14 days. And for a sixth time, he vetoed bills providing additional funding to family planning clinics and expanding Medicaid coverage for such services.

All fine and dandy but it is obvious pandering to the conservative base to defund abortion clinics and loosen gun restrictions but the main thing between Christie and the rest of the crowded field selling that shtick is that he is as phony as the day is long. The late, great political writer Hunter S. Thompson had a great quote for grifters like Chris Christie and it went like this:

“The main problem in any democracy is that crowd-pleasers are generally brainless swine who can go out on a stage & whup their supporters into an orgiastic frenzy—then go back to the office & sell every one of the poor bastards down the tube for a nickel apiece.”

Times have changed and guys like Christie would sell out the schmucks for a nickel a dozen these days. It’s hard to see how Porky Soprano could have any real credibility with conservatives who have been paying close attention ever since he was sliming around the Jersey Shore with Emperor Obama back in 2012 with Barry’s crank practically stuffed into his mouth. People have long memories and those same people are likely to recall that Christie’s Obama love fest probably put a hell of a ding in Mitt Romney’s hopes as did his shamelessly self-centered keynote speech at the Republican National Convention in Tampa.

The biggest laugh line from Christie’s speech today had to be that “Both parties have failed our country by refusing to work together”. I just love these con artists who run against the political establishment by seeking to fix things by putting themselves in charge of that same establishment. Besides, working together would be another word for “bipartisanship” which is code speak for “Fuck You!”. It was the rats working together that just guaranteed millions more lost American jobs by cramming Obamatrade down all of our throats. In layman’s terms it is horseshit and sensible voters should run away from anyone who dares to spout such balderdash as if they had the Ebola virus.

Christie’s “straight talk” vows are cribbed from the senile old bastard John McCain’s failed 2008 run and the infamous “Straight Talk Express”. He also waited a bit too long to try to foist himself off as one who speaks truth to power because that particular role has already been filled by Donald Trump who is gaining in popularity because unlike all of the rest of the poseurs, he can truly run as an outsider.

Christie is pathetic although what will likely be a very short run for the White House will be the source of much fodder for comedians who delight in telling fat jokes.

Bartender Arrested in Alleged Boehner Poisoning Plot

In a breaking story so bizarre that it could be a headline from the satirical newspaper The Onion, authorities have arrested an Ohio man over a plot to allegedly poison Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner. Granted, it isn’t foaming at the mouth Islamist jihadists storming Boehner’s office but the G-men were on the job to thwart what may have been an attempt to kill the second man in the line of secession for the presidency.

As reported by the website of Cincinnatti’s WCPO TV in the story “EXCLUSIVE: FBI says John Boehner's West Chester bartender planned to poison him”:

Ebola, evil voices and the devil.

Those are just a few of the things a Butler County bartender cited as reasons he was going to kill House Speaker John Boehner this past fall, federal agents said.

Michael Robert Hoyt, 44, was indicted Jan. 7 on charges of threatening to murder the congressman in a plot police said included poisoning his drink at a country club.

Hoyt served drinks to Boehner for more than five years at the Wetherington Country Club in West Chester and was known as “Bartender Mike” to employees there.

Hoyt called police on Oct. 29, a week after being fired from the club, and blamed Boehner for his woes, police said.

When officers visited Hoyt at his home on Matson Ave. in Deer Park, they said the plot thickened.

“Hoyt told the officer he was Jesus Christ and he was going to kill Boehner because Boehner was mean to him at the country club and because Boehner is responsible for Ebola,” United States Capitol Police (USCP) Special Agent Christopher M. Desrosiers said. “Hoyt advised he had a loaded Beretta .380 automatic and he was going to shoot Boehner and take off.”

Officers said Hoyt told them he regretted not having enough time to put something in Boehner’s drink. It was also discovered Hoyt emailed Boehner’s wife about the plot a day before he called police, Desrosiers said.

Boehner hasn’t been making many friends and this was BEFORE he was re-elected to lead the House GOP and quickly caved in on serious opposition to Emperor Obama's amnesty for illegal immigrants decree.

This will be likely be spun as yet another excuse for the further expansion of the surveillance-police state. Just in time for Obama's big sales pitch for finishing off the Fourth Amendment at the State of the Union address next week.

The story continues to develop.

Washington Redskins Name Controversy is Just Another Distraction

The political correctness warriors have recently had their target coordinates set upon forcing the NFL's Washington Redskins football franchise to change it's name as it is offensive to a certain aggrieved demographic - the American Indian. Not that the US government gives a damn about Indians, the genocidal mass slaughter of the nation's only true indigenous people during the era of western conquest and Manifest Destiny doesn't get much play from the corrupt national government nor in their pocket media. Nor does the ghettoizing of American Indians onto reservations and the institutional racism of broken treaties and stolen land but when there are political points being scored, all of the sanctimonious sacks of shit across the fruited plain (primarily Democrats in an election year) are outraged - yes indeed, outraged at the sheer immorality of the DC area's professional football franchise's nickname. Just more of the same hypocrisy in a slightly different package.

Not that there are more important things to spend taxpayer dollars on than frivolous crusades involving sports teams and figures, remember how the US Congress dragged numerous professional baseball stars before them to grovel over alleged steroid usage but the same US Congress couldn't be bothered with the ongoing series of illegal wars, torture, holding Wall Street looters accountable to the law or reigning in the NSA Stasi. Kicking around guys like Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens who are basically helpless makes for good television and does not piss off campaign donors. So once again, while Iraq is on the edge of total anarchy and Obama is ready to double down on Bush-Cheney's war crimes by sending the troops back in and bombing the hell out of even more innocent civilians - murdering them as if they are are as expendable as the American Indians once were - the time and money of the American taxpayer continues to get pissed away on lame horseshit like today's government intervention to strip the Redskins of their trademark.

In an action that portrays the most petty abuses of big government meddling the US Patent Office has formally stripped the Redskins of their trademark protection. According to a story in The Guardian entitled "US patent office strips Washington Redskins of 'offensive' trademarks":

The US Patent and Trademark Office announced on Wednesday that it is to cancel six trademark registrations belonging to the Washington Redskins, ruling that the NFL team's name is disparaging to Native Americans.

In a landmark decision, the offices's trademark trial and appeal board found that the name cannot be trademarked under federal law, which prohibits the protection of names that “may disparage” individuals or groups, or “bring them into contempt or disrepute”.

“We decide, based on the evidence properly before us, that these registrations must be cancelled because they were disparaging to Native Americans,” the board wrote in its ruling.

Amanda Blackhorse, who brought the case against the team, called the ruling a "great victory for Native Americans – and for all Americans".

The team said on Wednesday that it would appeal the decision and insisted that its right to protect its trademarks was not affected by the ruling, which would not take effect until the appeals process is complete.

The weeping and gnashing of the teeth by Democrats - 50 US Senators led by the soon to be Minority Leader Harry Reid recently sent a formal letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell basically demanding that he intervene on behalf of the Democratic National Committee (not officially worded as such) to force the name change - primarily more out of the need to be a fundraiser for the Jackass Party's 2014 election hopes which are dismal and to fire up their base.  No Republicans were asked to sign Reid's silly letter - although that doesn't excuse them from being a pack of disgusting racist bastards - making it evident that this is just another political stunt. Like the Democrats don't have anything better to do, perhaps holding their dear leader Obama accountable for the unconstitutional spying rampage of his NSA would be a start or stopping the incompetent idiot before he starts World War III. But that isn't the way that the Democrats roll, choosing to manipulate Hispanics, women, gay people and any other identity based demographic for political gain in as cynical a manner possible. The crusade to force the Redskins to change their name is a perfect example.

To his credit - and I don't readily offer up much to a shameless, four-flushing, arrogant sleazy rich prick like him - team owner Daniel Snyder correctly took a stand and told the cynical culture warriors to go and fuck themselves. In comments made by NFL broadcasting king Al Michaels during a recent interview with sports talk host Jim Rome the longtime icon not only expressed his own sentiments but offered those of Snyder. I excerpt the following from the Washington Post sports blog story entitled "Al Michaels says Redskins name debate ‘is nuts’":

Anyhow, NBC “Sunday Night Football” play-by-play man Al Michaels was on Jim Rome on Showtime this week, where he was featured on the Front Row segment. Rome asked Michaels whether he thought Daniel Snyder would hold on to the name.

“It seems to me as if he is going to hold on,” Michaels said. “I mean all of the sudden — I mean, for 70-some odd years this was a zero issue, and then it became an issue. I understand we live in this politically correct environment. It’s crazier than ever; you know, senators want to weigh in on this, like there’s nothing better to do in Congress. This becomes a big issue. I mean, I just think it’s nuts. And I do know, I’ve talked to Snyder about it — not recently but when we were in Washington last year — and he basically said “over my dead body.’ ”

And today, in the aftermath of the actions by the US Patent and Trademark Office the feeding frenzy is akin to those annoying shoppers stampeding to the free samples tables at Costco.  The scrum is on with the feckless wonder Harry Reid, former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann (he of the famous broken leg) to the millionaire radio degenerate Howard Stern are racing the cast of thousands to jump on the bandwagon. Wouldn't their outburst of energy be better channeled in opposing the fact that Barack Obama (who himself has trashed the Redskins nickname for political gain) not commit the USA!, USA!, USA! to a historical disaster with another incursion into Iraq?

Anyway, given the collapsing state of the world this story is basically nonsensical bullshit which is my point to begin with, so just file it away in that category with all of the other weapons of mass distraction that our political elite so often use to keep the bewildered herd in exactly that state of perplexity.
