[Apologies for the last sandbox getting a little rancid there.  We just returned from travel and I let things get away from me.  Well, now with all the additional stuff that's happened, there is a lot of catching up to do.  This morning NPR did a couple of hit pieces on President Trump, nimbly circling their innuendo wagons to blame him and the Republicans for all the current tragedies – happened and impending – while wondering why the other side doesn't stop "their hateful rhetoric" that is causing all this.  Of course, constantly pointing this out, their hands somehow remain clean.  gjr]

    A good example of PC priorities ruining a good thing –
    Was there a disturbance in the Force?
    And then came The Last Jedi, and this is when it all came together –in a bad way.
    Here we were, laying down our hard-earned money to take a trip into a galaxy far, far away and here was this hideous Kathleen Kennedy woman beating us over the head with her obnoxious feminist agenda, her even more obnoxious identity politics, her intolerable preaching and ham-handed, man-hating Woke-ness, and this movie sucks and, oh, well, that is just great, now they’ve killed off Luke and replaced him the cast of Dawson’s Creek 2.
    Well, at least we still have Carrie Fish– Oh, no.
    A movie focused on Han Solo seemed to come at exactly the right time. After all, who doesn’t love Han Solo? Who doesn’t want to see Solo? But then…
    Oh, look, Solo has Feminist Woke-Droid and a pansexual Lando Calrissian with an unnatural affection for Feminist Woke-Droid and the guy playing Han Solo who is about four feet shorter than Han Solo and ker-splat, the impossible happens: a Star Wars movie flops.

    You cannot trust the chi coms –
    In a stinging op-ed for the New York Times last Thursday titled, “The Pope Doesn’t Understand China,” Cardinal Zen — the retired bishop of Hong Kong — said that the new deal, which concedes an unspecified role in the naming of bishops to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), will lead to the “annihilation” of the Church in China.
    “Francis may have natural sympathy for Communists because for him, they are the persecuted,” Zen wrote. “He doesn’t know them as the persecutors they become once in power, like the Communists in China.”

    Let’s be clear the F-22 jets that were left behind in Florida were unflyable due to the lack of parts, this a logisics problem that was created during the Obama administration. Obama’s cost savings gutted the logistic chain and the end result is the lack of spare parts. This loss is not a Trump problem it is an Obama problem.

    Let’s be clear, the readiness of aircraft was severely effected by defense budget sequestration which was an outcome of the solution of the 2011 budget and debt ceiling crises precipitated by Republicans refusal to raise the debt ceiling. The deal reached was the Budget Control Act of 2011.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budget_Control_Act_of_2011#Defense_sequestration
    This led to cuts in the increase in defense spending and eventually reductions of readiness to our air fleet.

    “Look, I think, hopefully, when we have a Democrat in the Oval Office in January of 2021, there’s going to be so much work to be done.”
    Clinton went on to tout her credentials to prove why she’s qualified to be president.
    “The work would be work that I feel very well-prepared for, having been in the Senate for 8 years, having been a diplomat in the State Department. It’s just gonna be a lot of heavy lifting,” she said.
    When pressed, she said, “I’m not even going to think about it until we get through this November 6th election about what’s going to happen after that.”

    Bad, bad news for the donkeys –
    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll released October 29 shows 40 percent of the black voters that were surveyed say they approve of President Trump’s job performance, while 58 percent disapprove.
    Trump’s record high approval among black voters comes just days after Candace Owens introduced BLEXIT, “the black exit from the Democrat Party.”
    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll released on Monday also showed that 50 percent of likely U.S. voters approve of the president’s job performance, while 49 percent disapprove.

    ‘”“This is nascent fascism. We always had a turnkey, totalitarian state — all we needed was an excuse, and all the institutions were in place to turn this into pure fascism,” Cromwell told Variety on Sunday night. “If we don’t stop [President Trump] now, then we will have a revolution for real. Then there will be blood in the streets.”
    Cromwell later echoed his statement during his acceptance speech for one of the six Carney Awards given out that night.
    “We’re living in very curious times, and something is coming up which is desperately important to this country and to this planet, and that is an election, in which hopefully in some measure we are going to take back our democracy,” Cromwell said. “We will have a government that represents us and not the donor class. We will cut through the corruption, [and] we won’t have to do what comes next, which is either a non-violent revolution or a violent one, because this has got to end.”’
    Apparently the definition of ‘fascism’ is:
    1) Attempting to enforce existing immigration law.
    2) Grabbing pussy owned by women who like rich guys.

    If not for double standards they would have none (editorial note, not a Kelly fan)-
    Lester Holt, NBC Nightly News anchor, last week covered the story of outgoing fellow NBC-er Megyn Kelly talking about blackface and whiteface, the segment for which she was ultimately booted from her show.
    In her segment, Kelly responded to her co-host saying “but what is racist?” regarding the idea of politically incorrect Halloween costumes. “Because you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a black person who puts on whiteface on Halloween. When I was a kid that was okay as long as you were dressing up like a character.”
    It was that evening when Lester Holt introduced an NBC report on the controversy.
    Kelly mentioned both blackface and whiteface, equating the two, but Holt did not mention “whiteface.” Nevertheless, he is familiar with it, as the photo in this Tweet found by Mediaite shows.
