So taking a knee during the National Anthem started with Colin Kaepernick protesting police brutality.

That’s a noble cause, but I fail to see how kneeling during the anthem protested that.  The anthem is about the resilience of American as the land of the free and the home of the brave.  The optics of protesting the anthem and the flag seemed disrespectful to the principles on which this nation was founded and those who worked, fought, and died for them. 

Some in the mainstream tried to make the backlash against Kaepernick entirely about racism.  It wasn’t.

Then Trump got into the fray. 

Now taking a knee is part of The Resistance.

Resistance to what?

Seriously, I’d like to know.

Are we resisting police brutality?

Are we resisting the ideas of liberty and civil rights enshrined in the Constitution that are the foundation of this nation, symbolized by our flag?

Are we resisting Trump?

What does that even mean?

If he tries to help grow the economy will The Resistance tank it and hurt the livelihoods of tens of millions of Americans just to spite Trump?

It’s like a never-ending two minute hate.

All I know is that I’m sure if Trump came out and made a speech against incest, Slate, Salon, Huffpo, and The Daily Beast would all run articles about how sister humping is the next trans rights and Progressives would all start fucking their siblings, for no other reason than Trump said not to.

For a long time, there has been a element (if not a growing majority) of the Left that has had admiration, if not total infatuation, for socialist dictators.

Walter Duranty was a reporter for the New York Times, covering Russia, from 1922 to 1936.  He was so enamored with Stalin that he lied in every report about the Communist regime a covered for Stalin’s crimes against humanity.  To this day there are people who think the NYT should be stripped of its Pulitzer Prize from Duranty’s work because of his deliberate disinformation.

After 1967, any Leftist who wanted to be part of the radical chic went out and bought themselves a Che shirt.  Today, it can been seen everywhere by Lefty artists and celebrities who want to show off just how much they hate American Capitalism from the red carpet of Hollywood Award shows.  They deliberately play down what Che did – the mass murders, torture, execution – for the hip symbol that Che represents to them.*

*These are, of course, the same fucking people who want to ban the Confederate flag, monuments, and even dig up Confederate graves, because those are symbols of “hate,” but Che is a symbol of “love.”

After Trump’s election, Rosie O’Donnell called for martial law to stop the Trump Inauguration.  Miguel made a post then a repost about that.

Since then, the mask has totally fallen off these people, if it hadn’t already.

High profile, and some not so high profile, Leftists are now actively rooting for Kim Jong Un over Donald Trump in both the current diplomatic conflict as well as in any potential war.

That is an American celebrity wanting to live under the North Korean dictator who operates death camps, is deliberately starving his own people reducing them to cannibalism while he imports luxuries for himself, and stages grotesque public executions for fun and intimidation.

No, Kim Jong Un is not right.  He has been saber rattling, firing missiles over Japan, and American ally.

Limmy is a despicable Quisling fuck, willing to cost the lives of millions of Americans in a (presumably nuclear war), and forfeit all of our civil rights to live in the same socialist utopia that Chelsea Handler wants to live in.

Yep,  some North Korean speech writer got a copy of Merriam-Webster and yeah… fuck Trump.  Who cares about Kim Jong Un’s atrocities, he insulted Trump and that is good enough to earn esteem in for the NYT.  I guess the ghost of Walter Duranty is running the fucking paper now.

Even Deputy Chairman of the DNC, Keith Ellison, sides with Kim Jong Un over Trump.

The Left would rather live in famine, under the boot of the North Korean military, that under the Constitutionally limited presidency of Donald Trump.

They favor death camps and executions to losing elections.

I would say that we are at peak stupid, were only 8 months into Trump’s term.  I fear we are only at the foothills Mt. Retard.

The great Mel Brooks gave an interview in which he said PC culture is killing comedy, and that movies like Blazing Saddles would never get made in today’s PC climate.

This scene (one of my favorite) would spark riots in major cities across America.

What Brooks said was nothing new, and is something other great comedians have said before.

Some Lefty mashugana schmuck from the Lefty Daily Beast had the audacity to respond to Mel Brooks’ statement this way.

Mel Brooks is one of twelve people to have won an EGOT, that is an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony.  He’s also won a whole shitload of other awards for his work.

Three of his comedies are listed on the American Film Institute’s 100 best comedies of the last 100 years.  That includes Blazing Saddles at No. 6.

On the other hand Awawin Suebsaeng is a putz reporter for the Daily Beast who actually said this:

“If you’re covering politics, and particularly if you’re covering Hollywood​, if you’re not making someone powerful or important mad, you’re not doing your job right.”

So he thinks that journalism is just trolling.  Woodward and Bernstein he’s not.

What he did is a shining example of terrible millennial cringe comedy.

A snarky turd with delusions of grandeur, who has never and will never be relevant calling Mel Brooks irrelevant is pure gold.

In December 2011, white St. Louis PD officer Jason Stockley shot and killed black suspect Anthony Lamar Smith after a short police chase, originating at a Church’s Chicken.

The details of the shooting and just how much of a good shoot it was are dubious.

Note: don’t get caught on video saying you are going to “kill that motherfucker” before a shooting then claim self defense afterwards.  Even if you are right, it looks bad.

 The not guilt verdict made by the judge in the murder trial of Jason Stockley has resulted in protests.

On Friday, the Saint Louis Board of Alderman honored Anthony Lamar Smith with that highest honor they could bestow.

That almost brings a tear to your eye.

However, they left out a few details.

Smith pled guilty once in January 2010 for possession and intent to distribute marijuana.        

Earlier, in 2007, he pled guilty to illegal possession of a firearm.

In 2010, he was sentenced to prison for five years on the drug charge and three years on the weapons charge, to be served at the same time.

He served 14 months and was released on parole in May 2011, almost seven months to the day before he was shot.

It has also been said that Smith was “known to have a gun on him.”

In fact, Judge Timothy Wilson even wrote in his ruling that “an urban heroin dealer not in possession of a firearm would be an anomaly.”

During the trial, we learned that a baggie with capsules of heroin were found in Smith’s car, and that only Smith’s DNA was found on the drugs.

So, it is true that heroin was found in Smith’s car, but he was not convicted of dealing heroin.

So… a drug dealer with a criminal record and history of illegal firearms possession, who had heroin and possibly a gun on him at the time of the shooting – according to the city of St. Louis – was a nice boy who worked at McDonalds and won awards for sportsmanship and wanted to be a clothing designer.

Way back in 2014, I coined a phrase in the comments of this blog that Miguel turned into a post.

The Board of Alderman has officially beatified Anthony Lamar Smith.

Saint Lamar Smith of Church’s now joins the canon of Saint Brown of Ferguson and Saint Martin of Sanford.

My son love to listen to his Sharon, Lois & Bram CD while in the car.

One of the songs is Sur le Pont d’Avignon.  These are the lyrics:

Sur le Pont d’Avignon
On y danse, On y danse
Sur le Pont d’Avignon
On y danse tous en rond

I don’t speak French.  So I sort of made up my own lyrics that sound close when done in a terrible Simpsons-esque mocking French accent.

Two lemons
Haw Haw Haw
Horny dancer, horny dancer.
Two lemons
Haw Haw Haw
Horny dancer toot your horn.

Well…

My wife finally heard my version of the song.

I am now banned from singing kids songs without pre screening of the lyrics.

Apparently, there were some armed Lefty protesters outside the courthouse in Saint Louis, MO, who were part of the Jason Stockley demonstration.

This was reported by Rick Meyer, a photographer with KSDK, the St. Louis NBC affiliate, on Twitter.

Look at this bunch of sad sack “revolutionaries.”

From left to right, or maybe more accurately, radical left to far left: Ginger Arafat, Stickmag, Emo Hawkeye, and Tactical Coolio.

These are some shitty, Scooby Doo level revolutionaries.  I think I am going to call them: Che and the gang.

I get they they are trying to be intimidating and all, but they just can’t pull it off.

Stickmag looks like a back row backup dancer in a Bruno Mars music video.

I wonder which gangsa rapper he stole that Glock from?

Ginger Arafat may be trying look tough and show solidarity with Palestinian terrorists in his keffiyeh (another Lefty anti-Semite), but I’m sure he spent more money on his pre-worn hipster boots than his Sevens 320, made in China shotgun.

My absolute favorite is Emo Hawkeye.

First, budget cuts must have hit the Avengers program hard, because he’s barefoot.

Second, his arrows.  Those are the cheap, fiberglass practice arrows you get at the sporting goods store for the bow you shoot at Scout Camp.  I’m not sure if they would survive being launched in a compound bow.  He has no broadheads either, those are round nose target points.

Third, and this is the best part, THAT’S NOT REAL INTERCEPTOR ARMOR.  He’g going to be mighty surprised when he learns the hard way that the $99 he spent on eBay actually bought him an Airsoft Interceptor OTV clone, which is about as bulletproof as a windbreaker.

I will give Emo Hawkeye this, his three Scout Camp arrows are – technically – reloads.  Which means that he has a little more forethought than his compatriots.

Seriously, that is going to be one short lived firefight.  Especially for Ginger Arafat.  I guess he couldn’t find a way to carry spare ammo that color coordinated with his outfit.  Mag pouches just don’t fit the revolutionary chic aesthetic.

If this is the people we are going to have to fight in the next Civil War, I say lets get this shit over already.  It will be fun.

This article is from June of this year, but it took awhile to drift into my field of view.

From Ms. Magazine: When Will Wonder Woman Be a Fat, Femme Woman of Color?

They go on to make their argument:

Now that the female superhero has finally made it to the big screen, critics and audiences are asking whether Wonder Woman is a feminist film. But the question itself is problematic. For one, it makes “feminist” a subjective adjective. Also, it suggests there’s a monolithic Feminism, when really feminist movement encompasses innumerous feminisms in motion. The more inciting questions are: How does this film represent Wonder Woman? What’s missing from this representation? And, what does it say about this particular moment in time?

Why couldn’t Wonder Woman be a woman of color? When it was announced that Gadot would play Wonder Woman, audiences went wild body shaming her for not having large enough breasts. One can only imagine the white supremacy that would have emerged had the announcement said instead that she would be played by a Black woman. On Paradise Island, there are Black warriors in addition to white ones, which is a good start, but other women of color are missing. Also, while the female warriors are strong and ass-kicking, they all have tall, thin body types and they all could be models on a runway. In fact, in a pivotal battle scene, Wonder Woman struts across the battlefield as if on a catwalk. As a result, their physical strength plays second fiddle to their beauty, upholding the notion that in order to access power women must be beautiful in a traditional way. Especially with the body positivity movement gaining steam, the film could have spotlighted female warriors with fat, thick and short body types. While people have said that warriors can’t be fat, some of our best paid male athletes are, particularly linebackers on the football field, and no one doubts their physical strength.

Let me answer their question.

“Dear Sugar Tits,

Wonder Woman debuted in 1941.  She is from the island of Themyscira, and her full name and title is Princess Diana of Themyscira, Daughter of Hippolyta.  Themyscira is an island of female warriors governed by Aphrodite’s Law.

In the 2017 movie, Wonder Woman is played by Gal Gadot.  Gadot is from Petah Tikva, Israel, on the Mediterranean.   She served in the Israeli Defense Forces during the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah war, kicking terrorist ass.  Before enlisting in the IDF, she was a beauty queen winner as the 2004 Miss Israel.

So, Wonder Woman is a Mediterranean warrior princess, being played by a Mediterranean warrior (beauty) queen.

She’s about as authentic to the character as an actor or actress can be in a super hero movie.  Except perhaps for Robert Downey Jr. playing a wealthy, womanizing, celebrity, with substance abuse problems.

For people who can’t tolerate whitewashing of characters in movies, what justification do you have to alter this.

Despite your social justice preening, you will never convince people to see a movie in which a black, trans, Trigglypuff tries to stop the apocalypse by making a German madman check is white male privilege.

Ever.

Sincerely, J.Kb.”
