At a town hall meeting, Nancy Pelosi said this.

NEW: Pelosi refers to tax relief as "crumbs" AGAIN: “There’s a little mouse trap who’s got a little piece of cheese on there and [the mouse is] called the middle class. And around it are fat cats…You get the crumb, we get the banquet.” https://t.co/cBGuEBigGz

Not to be out done, Debbie Wasserman Schultz said this.

That is the Democrat message.

“A $1,000 bonus isn’t much.  You can’t even get a good bottle of Cabernet or dinner at a Michelin two star restaurant got that.”

Please, for the love of everything holy, run with that message.

That’s two new truck payments, or six weeks of groceries, or a month of daycare.

That’s a destination vacation for a middle American family that might not have gone anywhere since the economy took a shit back in 2008.

They have nothing to sell but envy. 

“Sure, Trump got you a $1,000 bonus, but the company got more and that’s not fair.”

I just don’t think it will stick this time for most people.  After years of it being tight, an extra $1,000 can feel great.

Convince Americans to hate an extra  $1,000 in their pockets. 

I’m sure that will be a ticket winner in 2020.

Climate change: Sandwiches eaten in UK ‘have same environmental impact as eight million cars.’

First they came for my toilet.  Then they came for my shower head.

They’ve told me that I have to turn my AC up in the summer and heat down in the winter.

My washing machine takes forever and my dryer takes even longer.

They tell me to get rid of my dogs and not to have more than one kid if any at all.

I have tolerated all the nannying, and guilt tripping from elite Hollywood rapists celebrities, buy let me make this clear.

You can have my Medianoche, Ruben, or pulled pork sandwich when you pry it from my dead, greasy hands.

If you are willing to die on the hill of trying to take my sandwich from me, I can accommodate that.  I’m a big guy, I’m hungry, and it’s lunch time.

Ban sandwiches, I dare you.

The owner of a $300,000 Ferrari is suing Marriott International, saying a hotel valet gave his keys to a young man who was trying to impress a woman he just met.

The Tampa Bay Times reports that 73-year-old attorney James “Skip” Fowler parked his yellow 458 Italia Spider outside the Vinoy Renaissance Resort & Golf Club last July 27 while attending a lawyer’s convention in St. Petersburg.

There the 2014 Ferrari remained for more than 12 hours, until Levi Miles, then 28, showed up. Miles said he told the woman it was his and demanded the keys, telling the valet that the ticket was in the car and he’d bring it back.

He never did.

Lawyer: Florida Hotel Valet Gave His $300,000 Ferrari to Wrong Man

Holy crap. That is a major failure of protocol from the valet and the hotel. No wonder Hotels are hiring outside companies to do this chore and wash their hands in case of trouble.

Let’s recap the news from the last couple of weeks.

The FBI bent over backwards to ignore any crimes Hillary Clinton committed to exonerate her of any wrong doing before the investigation of her malfeasance was completed.

It seems that Trump was right and president Obama used a FISA warrant to spy on his presidential campaign.  The FISA warrant may have been obtained using the “Trump Dossier” that was made up out of whole bullshit and paid for by the Hillary Campaign.

Two FBI agents having an affair with each other, were on the Team investigating Trump and texted back an forth how much they hated him.  Going so far as to say something about an “insurance policy” that seems to read as though they were willing to fabricate evidence to take down Trump if he got elected.  It looks bad.

Now we find out the these FBI agents talked about a “secret society” in the FBI, which seems to indicated that there was a group of FBI agents out to get Trump.

Then the FBI loses all of those texts in a “glitch.”

The media response is “GOP lawmakers seize on ‘secret society’ texts to cast doubt on FBI.”  Because “how the hell did the FBI lose critical evidence in the middle of an investigation” is not responsible journalism.  

Some Republican Congressmen have gotten a memo that something, something, corruption, something, bias, something, maybe Obama, something FBI being political, something, looks really bad.

The public outcry has been to “release the memo.”

Newsweek says Russian bots might be behind the “release the memo” campaign.  NBC says they are.

The FBI wants to review the memo that makes them look bad before it is released, because that doesn’t make them look worse.

The Democrats then proceed to wipe their ass with a piece of copy paper, call it a memo, then say they won’t release it, trying to gin up demands to release their on distraction memo.

This is a cluster-fuck of epic proportions.

It seems like EVERYONE was so sure that Hillary was going to win that they could go for broke on corruption because it would never come back to haunt them.

This is a Greek Tragedy.  It is Democrat hubris that caused this.

If we find out that Hillary Clinton killed her mother and Bill is really her Father, it wouldn’t phase me at this point.

If it wasn’t that I would be called racist, I’d say this is very likely gang-related.

They Missed The Frigging Car.

Back in the Bloods & Crips era, the gallows humor was to say that the safest location in a Drive-By was standing next to the intended target. Anybody else in the surrounding four blocks was in serious danger.

Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Chip Simmons said in a press conference Tuesday that an estimated 10 to 12 rounds were fired during the exchange, some of which lodged into a vehicle that had two children inside.

They arrested one of the shooters in the silver car and guess what? He is a felon! And he is on probation for a prior Felon with a Gun  violation.   Here is to hope they keep him longer behind bars this time.

Recently, Miguel and I have talked about shithole nations.  Most people who are not radical, Leftist ideologues know what that means.

On the other end of the spectrum are Western First World nations, e.g., the Unites States, Canada, the nations of Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand,  Israel, etc.  Some are not Western nations but have adopted various Western practices that have made them successful, e.g. Japan and South Korea.

But what about the nations in between these two extremes?

They are sort of the “kid’s table” nations.  They have strong economies, but still have a per capita GDP that puts them below the poverty level.  They have major cities as advanced as any First World nation, but not still have large regions that are pre-industrial and under developed.

There are certain things that these kid’s table nations do that, well… you can tell that they still haven’t quite gotten their shit 100% together yet.

Indonesia is one of these nations.  It is ranked 41 out of 80 nations.  Right in the middle of the development index.

Secretary of Defense James Mattis was in Indonesia.

This happened.

This is why Indonesia is a kid’s table nation.  They think it’s totally bad-ass to punch fire and eat live snakes during a military demonstration.

That’s drunk frat-boy dare level stupid.

Their military takes its cue from teenage challenge YouTube videos.

If they had Tide Pods in Indonesia, I’m sure they would be chewing them with a straight face in front of Mattis.

I can’t them them super seriously.

You can tell they spent a lot of time on this.  But that means that they didn’t spend nearly as much time drilling for combat.

A little less this:

A little more this:

States like California are trying to enact legislation to force business to give them the money they are getting back in federal tax returns, the money that it is not only NOT theirs, but that the companies are sharing with their workers via $1,000 bonuses and more.

And they want to take over the Senate and the House in midterms?
