The Left’s raw hatred of President-elect Trump and his supporters knows no bounds.  The man is not yet sworn in, and already leftwing artists are going out of their way to proclaim that they will not perform at his inaugural.  Not long ago, being asked to perform at a presidential event was considered an honor and a command performance.  Not any more as our Great Divide widens.

These puffed up prima donnas even claim to have started their own black list, claiming that any of their own who do perform better “get a check in the nine figures.  Because it’s probably the last check they’re ever going to get.”  But what most certainly will come to pass is that anyone who has any right-leaning sentiments or who respects the Office of the President will neither sponsor nor attend any of the artists who are now clamoring to make public their refusal to perform.

And who are these bigoted pinheads who think that their absence will make a difference?  Do they know that this is America where real talent is unending, where there are hundreds of artists looking forward to an invitation, and more thousands ready for their career launching premier.  So here are the current members on that All-American shit list – undoubtedly more will be added as 20 January 2017 approaches.

Elton John, Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Garth Brooks, Andrea Bocelli, Kiss, Celine Dion, David Foster, …

    Well let’ see. I don’t recall one satire or biting criticism from Crabb on Obama. Now I could be wrong but even if you did you soft shoed it since you did not want to be called a racist. And all of us who even questioned a policy were skewered by you and your ilk. I could care less if any celebrity shows up but many will. I’d like another Clint show or maybe Simmons from KISS or Jon Voight. Maybe Kelsey Grammar. Anyway, we have been called every name in the book by you and your ilk and I really could care less. A “badge” of courage in my view. Bubba!

    Complaints about who isn’t singing at the inauguration is as pointless as Todd and Paul arguing over the shade of blue the counties voting base currently finds itself! Frankly I’d be surprised if most of the “stars” mentioned have recovered sufficiently from Darth Menopauses loss to perform anyway!

    The Russians have been trying to hack and disrupt cyberspace for quite a while. So have the Chinese. So have we. This has only become an issue now because Hillary lost.
    Trump did not win because of anything the Russians did.
    I think we might be a bit more concerned with the Chinese moving out into contested areas and simply taking over. If they are not stopped, they will do what they attempted to do with India in the 50s and what they did do in Tibet.
    The left simply can not accept Trump’s victory because of the left’s insolence and insular behavior. They can not or will not listen and understand any other way other than their own. They created a monster out of Trump by attacking him personally with exaggerations and outright lies. Now the monster they created is loose and in power.
    No wonder the left has lost it’s mind.
    I must admit I really don’t care about the ‘artists’ that won’t perform for Trump’s inaugural celebration.
    Trump will not accomplish as much as he claims and will not be as bad as his detractors say he will be.
    The only real celebration for me is that Hillary will not be pres. Beyond that, I’ll wait and see.

    Actually none of ‘us’ really care about the entertainers who won’t perform for Trump’s inaugural. I received the following in an email that expands on how the burgeoning Left created us, the Irredeemable Deplorables.
    I haven’t said too much about this election since the start….but this is how I feel…. I’m noticing that a lot of you aren’t graciously accepting the fact that your candidate lost. In fact you seem to be posting even more hateful things about those of us who voted for Trump. Some of you are apparently “triggered” because you are posting how “sick” you feel about the results.
    How did this happen you ask?
    You created “us” when you attacked our freedom of speech.
    You created “us” when you attacked our right to bear arms.
    You created “us” when you attacked our Christian beliefs.
    You created “us” when you constantly referred to us as racists.
    You created “us” when you constantly called us xenophobic.
    You created “us” when you told us to get on board or get out of the way.
    You created “us” when you attacked our flag.
    You created “us” when you took God out of our schools.
    You created “us” when you confused women’s rights with feminism.
    You created “us” when you began to emasculate men.
    You created “us” when you decided to make our children soft.
    You created “us” when you decided to vote for progressive ideals.
    You created “us” when you attacked our way of life.
    You created “us” when you decided to let our government get out of control.
    You created “us” the silent majority.
    You created “us” when you began murdering innocent law enforcement officers.
    You created “us” when you lied and said we could keep our insurance plans and our doctors.
    You created “us” when you allowed our jobs to continue to leave our country.
    You created “us” when you took a knee, or stayed seated or didn’t remove your hat during our National Anthem.
    You created “us” when you forced us to buy health care and then financially penalized us for not participating.
    And we became fed up and we pushed back and spoke up.
    And we did it with ballots, not bullets.
    With ballots, not riots.
    With ballots, not looting.
    With ballots, not blocking traffic.
    With ballots, not fires, except the one you started inside of “us”
    “YOU” created “US”.
    It really is just that simple.

    Well Scott, the original premise of Walt’s post is incorrect. Brown did not say he would not follow federal law, as Bundy did; he said that he would take action to advance policy that he believes is good for the people of the state of California.
    “California can make a significant contribution to advancing the cause of dealing with climate change, irrespective of what goes on in Washington,” said Brown in the Times interview. “I wouldn’t underestimate California’s resolve if everything moves in this extreme climate denial direction. Yes, we will take action.”–NYT
    “”We will protect the precious rights of our people and continue to confront the existential threat of our time — devastating climate change,” he said. –LAT
    I was merely pointing out that since Walt believes the Governor’s position is that he doesn’t have to follow federal law and he is no different than Bundy, then Walt’s position is hypocritical.

    All Hail Governor Brown… he now owns Global Warming politics in the USA. He’ll either be a hero or a schmuck when AGW is either universally accepted or becomes fodder for late night comics for the next few generations. Of course, I already think he’s a schmuck. So is Frisch.
    We really are at a turning point for the entire argument, as the already weak Solar Cycle 24 is mostly wound down, and Cycle 25 is expected by solar physicists to be historically weak, approaching Maunder Minimum status. We’ve just finished a major El Nino warming event and the fall in temps from the peak earlier this year is in process, place your bets as to where it ends. The chances are very good that in 2018, there will be enough bad news for the California Warmistas to find themselves on the wrong side of history to an extent that even they see it. Only time will tell.
    I’m sure Frisch will be among the last to recognize the end.

    By the way, re: Todd’s 1:17 PM
    The California State Constitution grants the California Governor and the California Attorney General the power to determine how they are going to implement state laws. The State Constitution also grants the State Supreme Court jurisdiction over determining he constitutionality of Propositions.
    The process to hold a Governor or Attorney General accountable would be to challenge their implementation of the law in federal court. Supporters of Proposition 8 did that and lost, fair and square.

    That’s aiding and abetting illegal activity, frisch.
    Brown is not ‘implementing’ federal immigration law, he’s giving aid to those who are breaking fed law.
    That goes against Brown’s oath of office. As if Brown cares.
    Anyway, Brown is on record saying openly that he will support those breaking federal law. And that is, in itself, going against the law.

    If the federal government wants to make the case that Governor Brown is in violation of US Code Sec 8 Art 1324. the Department of Justice can prosecute. They have not, thus the Governor is not in violation.
    Even more important, the Governor does not have jurisdiction in the case of cities or counties that declare themselves sanctuary cities, only cases where the state has primary jurisdiction over someone, which are relatively narrow; and the existence of sanctuary cities per se does not violate federal law–unless it is adjudicated again.
    According to a 2009 Congressional Research Service report that discussed local law enforcement agencies’ responsibilities under § 434 of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) and § 642 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), the “primary federal restrictions on state and local sanctuary policies” concern a state or local refusal to maintain or share immigration status information. However, the report noted that the 1996 law “does not require entities to collect such information in the first place” and the U.S Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit indicated that “Congress cannot directly compel states to collect and share information regarding immigration status with federal immigration authorities.
    So unless it is adjudicated again, Brown is not in violation of federal law.
