Hey @CNNPR – Two days ago I created this petition and it has 4,000 signatures. Will you give #TheResistance an on-air opportunity to respond after the #SOTU like you did for the Tea Party in 2011, yes or no? #SOTUResistanceResponse https://t.co/c55W85McLZ

She wants to go on CNN after the State of the Union address and give the “official” resistance response.

I believe Miguel is been (mostly) right.  She’s going to run for office.  He thought Congress.

This is the beginning of her 2020 run for Senate to unseat Republican Corey Gardner.  He’s up for reelection in 2020.

Congress was too small an investment for Michael Bloomberg and there was no reason to run against Rep. Jared Polis, since he’s a Democrat.  To defeat Senator Gardner would unseat a Republican and would complete Colorado’s transformation into a Blue State.

This is some serious long ball that she and Bloomberg are playing.

Let me introduce you to CNN  senior media correspondent for CNN, Brian Stelter.

He is a nasally, balding pajama-boy, shit-weasel, and the host of a CNN show called Reliable Sources which is nothing but talking heads in the media naval gazing about their impact on the pop culture.  It is the narcissism of a Hollywood award show and the ignorant arrogance of elite media, mashed together into a weekly show.

Don’t believe me, let him explain that  himself.

So, yesterday CNN dropped the headline “Cuckolding can be positive for some couples, study says.”

The first thing I thought of when I saw that on my news feed was “Brian Stelter better call home.”

I just can’t look away from the news.  It’s like a circus train wreck and all the clowns are running around on fire.  They are trying to put it out but the buckets are filled with confetti.

The two leading Democrat Congress women, Pelosi and Wasserman Schultz spent a town hall trying to convince working Americans that a $1,000 bonus was a pittance and should be resented as nothing but the crumbs that fell from the mouths of corporate fat cats.

Senator Dick(head) Durbin made it clear he gave no shits about the citizens of Illinois and his sole mission in the Senate was to advocate for illegals.

I’m not going to let anything distract me from my singular mission: making sure that Dreamers have the protection and certainty about their future that they deserve.

It’s so bad.

But it gets worse.

Over in California, the Fight for 15 movement to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour has decimated the restaurant industry causing workers in restaurants that haven’t closed to be replaced with robots. 

Realizing that there are still operating restaurants in California, the state legislature is working on a bill that would fine waitstaff $1,000 or put them in jail for 6 months if they bring patrons  a straw without the patron requesting it. 

This is an attempt to end the use of plastic straws. 

This will play out as well as San Francisco’s plastic bag ban which caused e coli.  Turns out people don’t wash the reusable bags between carrying raw chicken and salad greens.

This time the unintended consequences will be nobody will want to risk jail over a drinking straw and quit waiting tables.

The good news is the $1,000 fine is “just crumbs.”

This is the same California legislature that is trying to get California business to give half their tax returns to the state.

It’s as though every policy is specifically crafted to fuck over every business owner, citizen, and tax payer that does anything less than manage a hedge fund.

The next two years are going to be amazing to watch.

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.

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.

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.
