Before the last presidential election Hillary supposedly told her pollsters to shut up, mainly because she didn’t want to hear about how unlikable people considered her. So in honor of Hillary’s birthday, here is a take on that. It probably will not be all-inclusive. Readers can help fill in any gaps.
It all starts that she is very selfish; the world revolves around her, and she thinks this is normal and good. This might not be so much of a problem if people also considered her to be truly behind their cause. I am sure that some women (.e.g. Andrea Mitchell, Jennifer Granholm) really have convinced themselves of this; but deep down, they probably know better.
Furthermore, Hillary is really not very good at masking this. The more she tries, the more incompetent she appears. Voters are not impressed by incompetence, especially in an area that could be considered to be a required job skill for a President.
Finally, this selfish (actually ruthlessly selfish) nature is most unbecoming on a woman. Supposedly we are all beyond judging women by different standards than fellas; but that is never going to happen. It is all a convenient fiction. People have in-built predisposition on how to judge women, and selfishness is most definitely a no-go, both from men and women’s perspective.
P.S. Maggie Thatcher might have had a cold appearance, but behind that everyone could see that she had a bedrock of principles that she believed were beneficial to the common good.
Would you want Hillary to be a relative of yours?
Would you like to meet her at a party?

Hillary is extremely likeable to people who write six-figure checks. They think she’s charming and right on the issues, and she’s expert at reinforcing that cohort’s innate contempt for the unwashed. And I’m speaking with first-hand information here, people. They are really, really fond of her.
Her failure as a politician is due to her inability to contain her contempt. She — literally — thinks it’s unimportant to be “likeable” to people whose very existence makes her skin crawl.
A supposition is that FDR, e.g., is a beloved “man of the people” because his era didn’t actually require him to spend time with any of them. And media was even more supine and obfuscatory than today.
Warren is doing better at lying to her base for a couple of simple reasons. One, and I consider this admirable, she appears to have excellent energy and health; she doesn’t wear Walmart shower curtains as “dresses.” Two, she walks her class warfare talk, and is not just another hooker (yet) for Wall Street $ like Biden and HRC.

I had a torrid thing with one of the Clintons’ biggest supporters. (Inner circle.) I was skiing with her at Telluride, and then I said, never a good idea, Watch this! and drove her over the Million Dollar highway to Silverton and points beyond.

This terrified her, but it was on this trip I introduced her to Merle Haggard’s perfect baritone. I put two hands on the wheel, at her request, and played Merle CDs in the rent-a-car. She was current on pop music and graciously noted that Kid Rock or whomever couldn’t carry Merle’s jock.
So later, driving into Durango, we stopped at Walmart to buy more Merle. We got a couple of CDs and I was wandering over to sporting goods to look at knives or something, and she said, “I’m very uncomfortable here; I’m uncomfortable with these people; I want to leave please.” So we left.
Well. That woman has raised money for WJC and HRC in her homes. She thinks HRC is eminently likeable and important. HRC today feeds off that enthusiasm. That’s her market. Not the oily fat people at Walmart who cast the votes. We all make choices in life.

So…remembering that we don’t vote for our Prime Minister, we vote for our MP and the party with the most MPs likely chooses the PM…I think that Boris is taking a big gamble IF he goes for a General Election without delivering a clean Brexit first.
I don’t hang out with normeez, so there’s a chance that I’m misreading things, but…
Boris’ Shit Deal is not far from May’s Shit Deal, we’re still under their courts till 2022 (the EU will have NO incentive to work to get a deal) at least. So I don’t want his deal. I want No Deal. Boris’ deal might be the best that he can get but it’s still failure. He’ll be a loser AFAIAC. Not saying that there’s anyone better though.
Boris is saying:
1) trust me to deliver Brexit while pushing a shit deal when trust in politicians is at rock bottom
2) vote for me because Corbyn will be a catastrophe when people’s trust in democracy is dying. “They’re all fucking wasters, does it really matter who’s in charge?” “Perhaps a term under laba will teach the stupid fucking libtard bastards a huge lesson in socialism being shit”.
I likely won’t vote tory at all because my local MP is a waster of a remoaner (no headlines, does as he’s told, but he’s a remainer). I might think about it with a No-Deal. But no promises. Otherwise I’ll vote for Nigel’s party (TBP / BXP) but that’s not without problems itself (a story for another comment)
The key is when/if Boris talks to Nigel about an electoral pact. He won’t do it unless he sees defeat coming. He’d have to tell Tory candidates to step down in northern constituencies that still hate the tories from back in Maggie’s days. He’ll take pain from within the party. And the party’s reputation will be dinged.
If Boris delivers No-Deal first then I genuinely think that he’ll walk the next GE without needing Nigel. High stakes, Boris. Or would you prefer me to go back to calling you BloJo?

The FB didn’t mean this in the way, I’m sure, I’m going to react against:
“Oddly enough, the common people are better judges …”
I always bridle when I hear this because I spent 30 years in the DC/NYC bubble, thus located socially and professionally with what I call the clerisy: People who consider themselves absolutely UNcommon and therefore entitled to run the country, highly selective colleges, the media, entertainment. This has been created, as Charles Murray notes, by a great filtering of our society along so-called ‘meritocratic’ lines: By school selection and entrance, leading to a small cohort of people intermarrying, living in the same zip codes, working in the same institutions, rewarding each other indiscriminately. Murray writes that this began in earnest in the 1960s, so now we’re into its third generation.
I don’t think these people are innovators, artists, statesmen, philosophers. I think they are callow parasites who are expert at manipulating institutions. So it was always a bit of a struggle to be undercover and compliant; I often wasn’t and it cost me as my inconsistencies were revealed over time.
Even Rush Limbaugh uses this construction of “common people”: he’s always talking about “average Americans.” He doesn’t mean it snidely in the manner of the Washington Post but my word, you want to hear cliches and groupthink recited, have dinner with a Washington Post columnist. (One of my execs was married to one, and you talk about a colossal pussy with nothing of importance or meaning to say, he’s one. They both are Yalies, of course.) So who is being “average” here?
It’s a very encouraging time to be alive as there is a renewal now of the populist, civic impulses that have constructed societies. We know it’s scary to the self-annointed because they never stop smearing us, booing the president, breaking the law to impeach the damn electorate and its electoral choices.
Anyway, for any readers out there, the two military historians who have best educated me are John Keegan (Englishman) and Victor Davis Hanson, a classicist by trade, who writes on war … and farming.
(Once I was in an online debate with a bunch of self-annointed intellectuals and I went into reasonable depth on VD Hanson’s theory of war. This caused screaming and shrieking; these were ideas they hadn’t previously received, certified. Then one of them, boy, he put me in my place. He said, “I talked to my friend who teaches classics and he’s never heard of him.” Right there you have it: Social and professional dismissal. Hanson has sold more works of classical scholarship than any living American.)
Here is Hanson’s current memo on this bullshit American nomenklatura. The nomenklatura needs to be destroyed. They are the average, conformist, self-dealing cohort that would colonize and indenture 300 million people. (That’s what breaking the Electoral College would do: Turn 85% of the country into colonies to be strip-mined for the benefit of the nomenklatura.)

Baghdadi photographed and publicized how he and his fellow butchers roasted alive men hogtied over flames, burned whole families with their children in cages, drowned prisoners in cages, raped and murdered thousands of Yazidi women and girls, and beheaded, shot, and blew up countless thousands of people.
Among those he kidnapped, tortured and murdered was a young American woman Kayla Mueller whom Obama failed to rescue in time.
After his Iraqi mayhem, Baghdadi took refuge in Syria where he hid out.

She represents the old way of politics, not really believing in anything other than what can get you elected. That’s why she fights against gays getting married one moment, and the next she’s officiating a gay marriage. Young women are among her biggest detractors, which has to hurt considering it’s the sacrifices and the battles that Hillary and other women of her generation endured so that this younger generation would never have to be told by the Barbara Bushes of the world that they should just shut up and go bake some cookies.

Shouldn’t Hillary Clinton also take the MoCa Test? At times she seems completely delusional—or is she a bit unhinged?
In one of the strangest paradoxes in American history, Clinton apparently does not accept or cannot remember that she hired Christopher Steele, a foreign national, through the use of three deceptive firewalls—the Democratic National Committee, the Perkins Coie law firm, and Fusion GPS—in order to smear candidate Trump from bought Russian sources. She also simply will not admit that other campaign aides in 2016 were working to get dirt on Trump as well from disgruntled Ukrainians.
While fleeing from this reality, she had concocted a fantasy that Donald Trump won the Electoral College not because her hare-brained campaign team sent her southward to win a “mandate” by flipping unflippable red-states Georgia and Arizona, while neglecting a supposedly secure blue wall in the north.
Now she apparently believes an erstwhile, post-election ally, third-candidate leftist Jill Stein, was a Russian “asset” used by Moscow to draw votes from her candidacy, while current Democratic candidate Tulsi Gabbard likewise is in the de facto service of the Russians. Who knew that outsiders Trump, Stein, and Gabbard were all Russian moles variously working against Hillary’s interests?
And all this from Hillary Clinton, who inaugurated the 2009 disastrous Russian appeasement scheme known as “reset” by pushing a red plastic Jacuzzi button in Geneva, and who was instrumental in green-lighting North American uranium sales to Russian interests, which interests through third parties had donated to her foundation and indirectly paid Russians to interfere in the 2016 election to destroy her opponent?

During the summer of 2018, Sulkowicz tells me, she was single for the first time in years. Swiping through Tinder, a man she found “distasteful” super-liked her. “It smelled like Connecticut,” she says of his profile. “He was very blond, law school, cut jawline, trapezoidal body figure, tweed suit kind of vibe, but something inside of me made me swipe right, I don’t know.” They began messaging, and she found him witty. “He was actually way more fun to talk to than any other person I matched with.”
Eventually, Sulkowicz stalked him on Twitter and realized that he was conservative — “like, very conservative.” At first, she was repulsed and considered breaking it off. But then she thought, “Wait, actually, that’s kind of fucked up because he’s the most interesting person I’ve come across, shouldn’t I be open to talking to him?” After dispelling her initial fear, she texted him that it would be “interesting (progressive? Powerful?) for two people who might be the antithesis of each other to go on a Tinder date.” . . .
Soon, she began attending house parties and happy hours with conservative and libertarian intellectuals, reading Jordan Peterson and articles from the National Review. In the past, Sulkowicz dismissed opposing views without understanding them, but now she sees intellectual curiosity as intertwined with respect: she wants to disagree with people on their own terms.

the media is anti-Trump, anti-conservative, anti-good, anti-family, anti-God … so anything that is against any and all of that, they are for (or so it seems from my perspective).

@FB – whose faith in humanity is restored. I’ve gotten pretty good at recognizing a Babylon Bee article almost as soon as it starts. But this one had me fooled. I expected it to end up beeing Babylon Bee. Thanks for posting. That was a refreshing read, assuming it is true.
horseman – thanks for introducing me to someone who I did not know existed. In spite of looking a bit like Jim Cramer used to look (finance guy), he creates some really good music. And I really like Jenny’s smile. Note a bad player either. I’m posting another video for those who like trumpet music. As one of the commenters says, this guy has been practicing this solo his entire life. He finally gets a chance to play it live, and the camera completely ignores him. All I can say to that is, at least we get to hear him, which is what counts. This brought joy to my heart (I used to play trumpet). I’m sure it will bring joy to someone else’s heart. Makes one forget Brexit and Hillary for a minute.

Trump might not be an expert in international relations, but he gets geopolitics better than a lot of career grifters blathering the same talking points in DC blob circles. That’s because he is mercantilist in approach. To him, nothing matters more than cost-benefit. And his foreign policy is predicated not on arbitrary moral values or supposed human rights promotion, but on strict narrow realism on what is better for the structural interests of the United States.
I have often stated in these pages that Trump might be rhetorically challenged, speaking in a way other presidents never spoke, but he has a Teddy Rooseveltian approach to politics. Nothing else matters to him than maximizing American great power and avoiding needless confrontations while focusing on broader strategic goals.
Trump himself said in the press conference publicizing the death of Baghdadi that the two powers who would like the United States to spend trillions on the Middle East are Russia and China, and he is not the only one saying that.

Texas School District Mandates Teaching Kids How to Have Anal Sex
By Todd Starnes -October 29, 201
The sex and gender revolutionaries have officially taken over the Austin Independent School District without firing a single shot.
In spite of overwhelming opposition from parents and pastors, the district’s trustees voted early Tuesday morning to implement a pornographic sex education policy that includes instruction on anal sex and how to place a condom on an erect penis.
The father of a fifth grader demanded to know who gave the school district the right to teach his child how to have anal and oral sex.
“Who gave you the right, Austin ISD? You have overstepped,” the rightfully frustrated dad said.
The radical sex education policy will provide graphic instruction on gender identity and mandated support of the LGBT movement.
Students in grade school and middle school will also be taught how to get an abortion or obtain birth control pills without parental permission or consent.
The school district will also begin instructing students to no longer use words like “mother” or “father.”
“Use gender inclusive language,” the district’s material mandates. “It is important to avoid terms which refer to only ‘male’ or ‘female’ identities when speaking with young children as this can limit their understanding of gender into binaries and can exclude children who may not identify within these identities.”
The district’s curriculum recommends “integrating” words like parents or guardians instead mom or dad.
Texas Values, one of the state’s leading family advocacy groups, warned that the Austin ISD was sending a message that people of faith are no longer welcome in the school district.
“Austin ISD has broken the sacred trust between school and parent,” Texas Values spokesman David Walls said in a statement. “Austin parents have no reason to entrust their children to a school district that welcomes sex criminals and sexually explicit materials in the school.”
To force this kind of pornography on school children is nothing more than government-sanctioned child abuse. The district’s policy is all about grooming children for sex.
As one parent declared, “The curriculum is an attack on Christianity and family and on parental rights.”
More than 100 citizens spoke at Monday night’s district meeting and the overwhelming majority were opposed to the policy.
Those speaking on behalf of the plan included a nine-year-old child, a fourth-grader, the parent of a transgender second grander, a lady who identified by the pronoun “they/them” and some gal wearing a t-shirt that read, “I met God. They’re queer, y’all.”
But I knew the fix was in before the debate even commenced. A good many of the district trustees had already planted LGBT and Transgender flags on their desks.
Sadly, the sex and gender revolutionaries have already commandeered a number of public schools around the nation. Instead of teaching our kids math and science they are trying to convince little boys that they are really little girls.
I write about this stealth attack on our children in my new book, “Culture Jihad: How to Stop the Left From Killing a Nation.”
There’s really no polite way to say this, folks. But if freedom-loving, church-going patriots do not reclaim our public schools – we will lose the Republic.

This is the best cigar/campfire lighter I have ever touched. I got mine on sale, but I still bought one for the daughter’s boyfriend.
Image is wrong: it’s about 1.5″ x 2″. It is *heavy* steel, meticulously machined. The flame will take out your soul patch if you’re not careful. It’s so heavy you won’t want to carry it every day in a good suit’s trouser pocket. It’s so heavy it reminded me of The Ton, who was always advising me that my mouse guns might have value when I gave up and threw them at a miscreant. It’s so good I want to find out who makes it, because I want one without the vendor logo.
I’m a Zippo guy, but this is a 30.06 to a Zippo BB gun. Too strong, iow, if you smoke cigarettes.
