[Last night Fox News reported the results of the latest polls on Obama's performance in the areas of foreign policy, national security, domestic policy. The results in all three areas are that about two out of three Americans believe the president is screwing up in these areas. But his 'come what may' supporters don't see any of these gross failures. But there were some defections from the lamestream over Obama's tone deaf speech to the nation Sunday night. And his new attorney general is coming across as a real double dummy when yesterday she declared that it's premature to judge and connect any specific religion to the San Berdoo attack since every religion has its radical elements. You can't make this stuff up; these are the idiots our liberal neighbors voted for and sent to Washington – twice! gjr]

Some bad news in the Washington Post for our local lefties who support banning all guns.
For millennials, gun control isn’t very appealing as a policy solution. Even though millennials are the least likely group of adults to own a gun, their views on the right to own a gun follows older generations closely. The “ban guns” generation, this is not.
That support for “permissive gun laws” is “mysterious,” according to The Washington Post.
Not only mysterious, but troubling for the Democratic Party.

“Most of our talk about guns is cultural signalling. We use guns as shorthand for a bundle of ideas. I saw this on my Facebook feed last week:
I’m sure this felt good to the people who made it and distributed it, and to the like-minded people who saw it. But it didn’t persuade anyone — other than, perhaps, a few more people to vote Republican. It’s a classic example of guns-as-culture. In this bundle, guns mean Republican, guns mean conservative, guns mean not liking President Obama, guns mean religious, guns mean socially traditional, guns mean rural, guns mean football and Nascar and using fewer than five words to order coffee. The intended message may be “fuck the people who don’t seriously debate gun control because they accept vast campaign donations and they are afraid of NRA-led primary attacks and who refuse to even consider whether there’s something we can do about madmen spraying crowds of innocents with bullets.” But your message is “fuck you and your flyover-country Daddy teaching you to shoot in the woods behind the house when you were twelve and fuck the church you went to afterwards.”Worth reading in it’s entirety.

JERRY BROWN LETS IT ALL HANG OUT
This is the statement that caught my eye:
Later, at the site where world leaders are meeting to negotiate a climate pact outside of Paris, Brown urged a small crowd to “never underestimate the coercive power of the central state in the service of good.”
“You can be sure California is going to keep innovating, keep regulating,” the Democratic governor said. “And, shall I say, keep taxing.”

RussS 329pm – Yes indeed, California is a cancer inside a cancer and Moonbeam just corroborated it. That is socialism pure and simple. I have not seen a shred of difference between him and Bernie, except that Moonbeam is the executive of the nation’s largest state and can continue to wreak massive damage to California and then America. There is no recovery in sight for California, only corporatism on steroids as capitalism attempts to game the system. But I am afraid that Lenin was right about that gaming. Instead of fighting socialism, the corporations are just manufacturing the rope with which Sacramento will hang the ones that don’t get away.

Good Morning there Mr. Boardman. Conventional wisdom says Trump with rip the Republican Party asunder. Conventional wisdom says if the party goes with Trump they are doomed. If they reject Trump, they are doomed. Doom everywhere.
Well, since there is no upside either way, we might has well go down the Doom Road for awhile. We had MC Cain, then ethical good person Romney who could not even get the conversations off their rocking chairs and hobble to the polls.
I just don’t see much conventional wisdom from the Max Headroom types getting it right this go around…yet. Think it is starting to dawn on some that their research and polling and smug words of wisdom may be wrong, dead on wrong. They can poll to the cows comes home, but they have greatly underestimated the real support behind the Trumpster Gangster. They cannot explain it because they have not quite been able to comprehend or apprehend what is really happening out there.
Is this a mere passing fad, or has Trump tapped into the minds of more that the typical suspects, aka, angry white beer swiggin’ wife beater tee shirt wearing uneducated (stupid) clingers of guns and Bibles? Holy Bibles that is. Time will tell.
Just the fact that Trump is still standing upright today and yesterday tells me that conventional wisdom is grasping at straws to explain itself.LikeLike

I used to really like Karl Rove. He has become a bit unhinged about Trump though. As a Texan I thought Karl would like Cruz but Jeb is a Bush and that seems to be a stronger tie for him.
All these people posting their conspiracy theories just crack me up. Now the original conspiracy of Trump doing all this so Hillary can beat the Repubs is out there again. This is sooooo fun!!!LikeLike
-
Oh yaaa.. Boardman,, Rove is one to listen too. He’s GOP old guard. ( and real Conservatives be damned) Rove never had any love for the Tea Party either.
I get the news from Tea Party orgs from all over. ( you know,, the ones that elected many a person and tossed GOP and DEMS to the curb) They are backing Trump as well.
I see none wanted to touch what Rush stated about Repubs bitching about Trump and Hillary.
” if only a GOP can beat Hillary,, how come none of you can beat Trump?”
Funny,, there has been no answer to that from anyone.LikeLike

Mr Boardman,
I used to hang on Carl Rove’s every word. He had some great insights into the demographics of elections, but he has become an hack for the Republican elites who fund his PAC. Follow the money.
Rove has been in an insider for too long, he is out of touch with the angry voters who are tried of having sh*t shoved on their plate by the President, backed up by a spineless Congress. We bought into the message, elect a Republican Congress and things will get better. They got worse, not better. The voters have has enough profession politics and people are willing to take a chance on another option.
I am not a great Trump fan, but he is more connected to reality than Rove. I would like a more electable candidate who is carrying Trumps message. Who is that? I do not know, but watch the Democrats who do they hate the most.
Trump cannot be bought and that pisses off the political consultants, of which Carl Rove in the king. The Republican elites has better get used to the new reality, as the middle class is shrinking and lower classes are growing, and they are the people who will vote for Trump. All those 45-55 college grads without a job are also Trump voters and they come from the R, D and I parties. They just want the economy to improve and Trump is their hero.
People vote their pocketbooks and the politician that promises to put the most money in that wallet. Trump is winning that battle right now.LikeLike
-
Yes Walt. Many white, conservative frustrated old timers such as yourself, feel that way. I agree. For many in this dying demographic group, Trump offers them their last best hope of a sentimental return to the 1940s and 50s, pre-sexual revolution, pre-Vietnam disillusion, pre-Civil Rights movement.
Ah but Walt- there exist a fairly substantial group of Americans who actually can think and spot a BS artist when they see one. A fascist by any other name. So check the scoreboard Walt, for the numbers are everything! Two Thirds of American registered voters polled either detest or have serious concerns about your candidate.
Best of luck getting your man to 51% of the American electorate.LikeLike

“The thing is, we have to really reach out to those who might consider voting for Trump and say, “This is Goebbels. This is the final solution. If you are voting for him I will have to shoot you before election day.” They’re not going to listen to reason, so when justice is gone, there’s always force, as Laurie would say.”
The Progressives have sure dragged out the Nazi speak. Which is interesting since they are the ones who are anti freedom.LikeLike

I think Islamics aren’t the problem. Trump is not the problem. Security vs humanitarian concerns which all normal people have innately are only the symptoms of living in a country where the progressives actually believe their solutions are better than The Problem.

Mr Boardman, here are the views of a well known social observer, conservative author and columnist – Victor Davis Hanson:
P.C. Suppression Of Public Concerns Fuels Trump’s Popularity:
Pundits cite Trump’s verbal sloppiness and ridiculousness as proof that he must soon implode. But Trump sees his daily bombast as an injection of outrage for a constituency now hooked on someone who finally voices their pent-up anger. The more reckless Trump’s doses of scattergun outrageousness, the better the fix for his supporters. Trump’s vague “make America great again” was the natural bookend to Barack Obama’s even more vacuous “hope and change.”
The popularity of such empty slogans reflects a culture in which no one any longer trusts institutions, the media, government, or politicians. The public no longer respects U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the IRS, the VA, or the GSA. Even the once-hallowed Secret Service has become a near laughingstock of incompetency, corruption, and politicization. Is the purpose of NASA really Muslim outreach, as NASA chief Charles Bolden suggested in 2010?
The world that we are told about by our government bears no resemblance to what we see and hear every day.
For that matter, we do not believe what we are told by the main stream press either, as they are nothing more than Democratic hacks with a byline. An exception Fox News.LikeLike
-
that’s right Walt- Pre-Civil Rights. The same right wing crackers and their families in the South were Dems back then. Now they are GOP. Funny how that went, ha? Southern Strategy and all. Didn’t you done learn that in grade school like I did? But yeah Walt, you are so right..I was a dolt and had to become a ditch digger.
