Feel the Bern: We work for Bernie, here are our demands.
“So, the Washington Post, or whatever, has this story about how us people working on the Bernie Sanders campaign are demanding 15 dollars an hour. And, yes. We are! Now don’t get us wrong, we love Bernie, we still feel the Bern, but as a boss, he’s kind of a capitalist pig, which we say in the nicest way possible.
“I mean, you know, Bernie Sanders is supposed to be this socialist, or democratic socialist dude, but he actually pays us less than Colonel Sanders does to sell people delicious fried chicken. We need a leader who will lead by example. We need Bernie to practice what he preaches and pay us what he demands every American receive—but that’s not all.
“The whole point of working for Bernie Sanders’ campaign is to take over the government and have it give us all free stuff by taxing finance bros. But we of the Sandernista International Local 101 say if that’s the plan, why not take campaign contributions from finance bros now and use it pay us a living wage instead of treating us like dogs begging for scraps on the streets of Calcutta?
“But in all honesty, a $15 minimum wage is the bare minimum of what we deserve and demand. We show up day in and day out, hang around the office talking about the future and making occasional phone calls, and that work needs to be adequately compensated, not just with money, but also with respect! But, mostly with money and things that cost money. Below are our modest demands—there is little, if anything, among them that Bernie hasn’t already promised the American people if he becomes president.
“$15 Dollars An Hour
As Bernie himself has said, “If you work 40 hours a week, you should not live in poverty.”

Well, come on Jigger. Todd’s weigh is considered normal for his age and height, run of mill stuff. Most could shed a few pounds in the real world, be it a beer belly, a muffin top, or being a poky. A good doc will tell some to have a few extra pounds in he golden years because they will need them when they start shedding pounds after 80.
But citing a blog where the writer makes Sumo wrestlers look thin is kinda self defeating. And Todd does not have that Mongoloid Down Syndrome look. But, this topic is rather unappetizing for both polite and not so polite company. If I could on get that image out of my mind. Yuck.

“Haggard might add, “We don’t throw quick dry cement at reporters.” Just recently, Mr. Andrew Ngo, a reporter covering a protest in Portland had milkshakes supplemented with quick-dry hurled at him by Antifa agitators. According to some reports, this is becoming an in-vogue thing.
“Back in late ’60s and early ’70s, it was the conformists who plotted violence against reporters, not the radicals. G. Gordon Liddy, of Watergate fame, drew up plans for murdering Jack Anderson of The New York Times. The radicals who did plot violence (the Weathermen, Black Panthers, etc.) had just enough sense to avoid reporters.
“Granted, the definition of “reporter” seems to have evolved since 1969. “We don’t have reporters like Brian Karem in Muskogee,” might be another line for the updated version. Karem, who covers the Whitehouse for Playboy, had a viral moment last week when he yelled insults at the President during a press conference in the Rose Garden.
“This is not the first time he’s become a part of the story. Karem excels at grabbing the spotlight. In 1969, reporters were not showmen. Those who made themselves the subject of the story did not long remain employed.
“I’d like to see someone write an updated version of this Merle Haggard Classic. But at the rate we are currently progressing, it would be quickly outdated.”

Re Jig 922pm & RockH 808am – My 715pm is taken to task as “bullshit” because Trump took an entire 10 seconds (gasp!) to resume his speech from when a few in the audience started chanting ‘Send her back’, which then grew in the ensuing seconds into the entire hall taking up the chant. And Trump’s delay in confirming that build-up, and THEN seeking to staunch the chant with the resumption of his speech, is prima facie evidence that Trump 1) solicited the chant, and 2) he wants to deport members of the Squad to the countries of their/ancestors’ origin. That he invited them to fix the problems there and then come back to fix America’s problems was somehow overlooked. Nevertheless, these leftwing commenters have again confirmed that the difference is vast in how the two sides of America perceive the world.

So Republicans should leave the country! FDR didn’t even invite them to come back after they had fixed their home country. Imagine if he had put that in a Tweet.
This was merely the beginning of what became the standard playbook for the left, except instead of making the charge of anti-Americanism (the Left is obviously conflicted on this point), they defaulted to fascism and racism instead. By 1945 FDR was saying that a Republican return to power would represent a victory for the forces of fascism we were fighting against overseas. Nothing subtle about that charge.
Or how about this front page headline from the New York Times on October 25, 1948:
PRESIDENT LIKENS DEWEY TO HITLER AS FASCISTS’ TOOL
CHICAGO, Oct. 25 — A Republican victory on election day will bring a Fascistic threat to American freedom. . .
I have a long catalogue of these kind of statements. Here’s a short sampler, starting with Barry Goldwater’s nomination in 1964: San Francisco Mayor John Shelley said Republicans “had Mein Kampf as their political bible.” Columnist Drew Pearson, for example, wrote that “the smell of fascism has been in the air at this convention.” The Chicago Defender ran the headline: “GOP Convention, 1964 Recalls Germany, 1933.”
Following Newt Gingrich’s landslide in 1994, Rep. George Miller said, “It’s a glorious day if you’re a fascist.” Rep. Charlie Rangel, on GOP budget cuts under Gingrich: “Hitler wasn’t even talking about doing these things.” (Actually we have to give this one to Rangel for accuracy, since it is correct that Hitler never talked about cutting Medicare.) Rep. Major Owens: “These are people who are practicing genocide with a smile; they’re worse than Hitler.” Worse than Hitler! That must be the equivalent of turning racism and fascism up to eleven! And then of course there’s Vice President Joe Biden in 2012 saying that mild-mannered Mitt Romney wanted to put black people “back in chains.”
I have a huge file of these. (I’m omitting my very large roster of “Reagan is Hitler” quotes.) What I don’t have are any instances—not one—of a Washington Post or New York Times editorial calling out liberals for extreme or “divisive” rhetoric. That’s a one-way ratchet, as we all know. Liberals are free to call Republicans any crazy thing they want, and even to suggest (like FDR) that they are un-American and ought to consider leaving the country, but if a Republican ever talks back, we see liberals get a case of the vapors.

Trump Administration honors Muslim Cleric who saved Christians from terror attack.
“As Imam Abdullahi was finishing midday prayers, he and his congregation heard gunshots and went outside to see members of the town’s Christian community fleeing,” the State Department added. “Instinctively, the Imam ushered 262 Christians into the mosque and his home next to the mosque. The Imam then went outside to confront the gunmen and he refused to allow them to enter, pleading with them to spare the Christians inside, even offering to sacrifice his life for theirs. Although the gunmen killed 84 people in Nghar village that day, Imam Abdullahi’s actions saved the lives of hundreds more.”
At the event, the State Department also honored:
Mohamed Yosaif Abdalrahan of Sudan has worked tirelessly to defend the rights of Sudan’s religious minorities, both in his legal casework and through public advocacy.
Ivanir dos Santos of Brazil worked exhaustively to support interfaith dialogue, combat discrimination, and create mechanisms for the protection of vulnerable groups.
William and Pascale Warda of Iraq have devoted their lives to advancing religious freedom and other human rights causes in Iraq.

Re: Flynn…if anyone can remember him.
Boy, the Obama Administration really hated that guy, Michael Flynn. He criticized the Obama team for micromanaging taking ISIS out and letting them run wild with Obama’s blessings…and arming the bad guys! But, the biggest threat was when he talked about revamping all our intelligence agencies. Anyway…hang in there Mr. Flynn. I can’t believe they still have a gag order on you. Oppps, I forgot. Flynn is a liar!
—-
“There is no good excuse for intelligence agencies to have withheld this information from the special counsel team. There was a very bad excuse for it, though: The intelligence community knew the special counsel probe was a sham designed to take down a president and any other enemies of the deep-state status quo.
“Flynn clearly fit the bill. Once he agreed to plead guilty and cooperated, that was good enough for the intelligence community. Their goal was accomplished, and the fact that Mueller had also been charged with investigating Rafiekian and Alptekin was of no matter.
.This pattern has likely repeated itself many times, which would explain why Mueller never addressed whether Russia interfered in the 2016 election by feeding Christopher Steele fake intel for his hit on Trump. Just as the intelligence community carefully guarded the information it believed it had on Flynn, the spies and spooks seeking to destroy the president likely kept a close grip on any information that exposed the Steele dossier as a Russian ploy (or a Hillary Clinton-funded lie).
“That should be the lesson from the recent revelations related to Flynn—that the special counsel team never had access to the intelligence needed to properly investigate Rafiekian and Alptekin. In turn, this suggests the intelligence community withheld other evidence for Mueller’s team, such as intelligence showing Russia used Steele to interfere in the election.
“There is only one reasonable explanation for this: The intelligence community viewed the special counsel’s investigation as an insurance policy meant to destroy Trump. And Flynn was just a means of getting to Trump.”

Rich white liberal elites guilt induced? –
“It is clear that there is a growing public dissatisfaction with our nation’s immigration policies,” Reid said at the time. “The American people are demanding reforms that will restore order to an immigration system they perceive to be out of control … these are not racist people who are raising this issue.”
Two years later, Civil Rights icon Rep. Barbara Jordan (D-TX) released her detailed recommendations that would have cut legal immigration levels in half and nationally banned employers from hiring illegal aliens. The comprehensive “immigration in the national interest” plan was primarily to stop the mass importation of low-skilled foreign workers to the total of about 1.2 million every year.
“The commission finds no national interest in continuing to import lesser-skilled and unskilled workers to compete in the most vulnerable parts of our labor force,” Jordan said. “Many American workers do not have adequate job prospects,” Jordan said. “We should make their task easier to find employment, not harder.”
Today, 2020 Democrats running for president have epitomized the party’s rapid shift on immigration. Leading contenders like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), former Vice President Joe Biden, and Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) have endorsed forcing Americans to pay for free healthcare for illegal aliens and have promised to provide amnesty and make all 11 million to 22 million illegal aliens in the U.S. eventually eligible for American citizenship.
Warren’s immigration plan would actually increase legal immigration levels beyond the already 1.2 million legal immigrants that are imported every year. She has also promised to bring at least 700 percent more foreign refugees to the U.S.
Research by Georgia State University’s Zach Goldberg and data from the Chicago Council on Global Affairs reveals that the Democrat Party’s move towards a mass immigration platform is driven primarily by white liberals.
For example, about 65 percent of white liberals in 1994 said “large numbers of immigrants and refugees coming into the U.S.” are a “critical threat” to the nation. Fast-forward to 2016, and only about 16 percent of white liberals say mass immigration is a “critical threat” to the country.
For instance, between 1965 and 2000, the percentage of white liberals preferring increased immigration levels never deviated far from 10%. From the mid-2000s to roughly the end of President Obama’s term in office, this figure gradually ascended into the 20-30% range. As of 2018, it sits at over 50%.
Goldberg’s analysis finds that black Democrats and Asian Democrats are much more likely than their white Democrat counterparts to support restricting immigration and opposing diversity as a national identity.
“Consider, for instance, that black and Asian Democrats and liberals are significantly more supportive of restrictive immigration policies and less positive toward racial/ethnic diversity than their white counterparts,” Goldberg writes. “… and as woke liberals play a leading role in party politics, the Democrats, who are increasingly defined by their embrace of diversity and progressive stances on issues of racial justice, appear to do so, at least partly at the direction of a small white elite.”

For the record, the Fabian four aren’t quite the “women of color” they style themselves. Talaib, for example is apparently 100% Palestinian, hence Caucasian, albeit Semite. Likewise the other towelette head, Omar. She is of mixed race, part African and part Arab and rest assured, she identifies as Arab and Muslim, not primarily black. Alas, her white lineage is also Semitic. So, we can clearly see, these two are not anti-Semitic, they are merely Jew-haters. And AOC clearly has a large share of non-color in the ol’ tree. Who knows, her ancestor may have been Malinche (Occasio?, mistress of Cortes hisself and betrayer of Native Americans of all hues.
Pressley looks like she fell in with the others by accident… women of color, indeed!

Morning Walt.
Tending the smoker today? What on the grill? You would be surprised (well,
maybe not) how many of those evil Nazi conservatives spend hours on their private social media pages discussing the best ways to cook a slap of meat. It’s like the second most important thing on their minds.. Even Gorka the day after he told the fakenews reporter “You are not a journalist, you are a punk”, Gorka had as his first guest a bar-b-que King he meet at the Rose Garden and Gorka picked his brains for more ideas. The punk story could wait, this first guest has important stuff to rely to the listener. Buck started a big conversation as to the best way to bake a steak if one lives in an apartment. Asked for ideas and boy did he get them. The best receipt took 13 hours to bake a steak and make it taste like it was hot off the grill from prep to plate. 🙂 Learn something new everyday.

Walt again, @ 11:36 am….The Sanctuary Poop Pile by the Bay bans natural.
Of course it makes sense. Gas burns cleaner and has less of a carbon footprint. As Don pointed out, where. do they think their electrify comes from? But the real reason the Hypodermic Needle by the Bay is banning gas is because Hank Hill said “propane is God’s gas.” You know how the G word let’s their g spot all flared up. Like fingernails on the blackboard. Ban gas. Ban the G word.

Berkeley is trying to convince its peepole that induction cooking is the PC way to go.

Induction cooking involves RADIATION that can be transferred through the cookware into the body of the unsuspecting human. The Swiss have already decided that induction cooking cannot be considered safe and sane. No 5G, no Smart Meters, no induction cooking in our little burg. Have a gas.

You are probably your own worse critic….like an artist. Or that guy on the stage rocking the place then has to ruin everything by going to the mic after the song and pointing out how he missed one note that nobody noticed or if they did, didn’t care….and throw water on a good time.
I have circled 360 and come back where I started. It was a long road home. Simple is best. Salt, pepper, apple vinegar, and whatever. Sometimes it’s “Up to the lips and over the gums, watch out belly, here it comes.” That line was from when I used to grab the jug of firewater with ‘XX ‘ on it, bottoms up, guzzle it down, and exhale saying “FIREWATER!” I did not drink it for the taste. But a fine slab of meat is worth masticating slowly and savoring every bite. There is a fine art to doing the symphony bar-b-que thang, slowly building flavor upon flavor. But, for a Dreg of Society like moi, simple turned out best, all in all.
My friendly neighborly squaw has gone simple as well. She picks lavender and rolls it between her hands on top of the juicy slabs of red meat before cooking over fire. It’s a flavor enhancer, not a spice or seasoning. Learn something new.
To each his own. Everybody is a critic. BTW, did you invite Rock Crapper into this conversation?

The nice part is the socialist clown car is not listening to them –
Democratic governors are sounding the alarm that the increasingly far-left positions taken by the party’s 2020 presidential candidates are harming electoral chances of down-ballot candidates.
The warning comes as Democrats running for president have fully embraced numerous positions – including universal health care and decriminalization of illegal immigration – that would have put them on the fringes of the party during the last election cycle.
“I don’t think that’s good policy or good politics,” Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo, who also leads the Democratic Governors Association, told the New York Times.
