Entitled

Through the 2016 election we had to listen to people, including Hillary herself, claim that she should be President because “it’s her turn.”

Now, with the nomination of Judge Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, the same people are griping that the SCOTUS seat he has been nominated to fill was “stolen” from Judge Merrick Garland.

Stolen, as is taken from its rightful owner.

Hillary was not entitled to the Oval Office.  Judge Garland was not entitled to a seat on SCOTUS.

 

Now, The Hill has been pushing Chelsea Clinton on us, fueling the idea that she is being groomed for public office.  Why not?  She’s accomplished nothing but being born to a political family and having everything in life handed to her as a form of payment to her parents.

The attitude has become “if we didn’t get Hillary, we could at least get the next best Clinton.”

Chelsea’s not entitled to public office either, no matter who’s loins she was birthed from.

Connected Democrats are not owed, entitled to, or have a turn to hold positions in government.

They don’t.  Nobody does.

We fought one war to stop living under a Monarchy.

This shit has got to stop.

 

 

Why I love trucks and hate the media

Last week, President Donald Trump met with the CEOs of some trucking companies and members of the American Trucking Association.  In typical photo-op styling, some 18-wheelers were parked on the White House lawn and President Trump climbed into the cab and honked the horn of a Semi.

Since then, every media outlet and their mother has been making jokes about Donald Trump and trucks.

Buzzfeed, not to be outdone, is releasing a book making fun of Trump and his love of trucks.

Since nobody else has said this, let me say it:

Dear Media,

Fuck you all.  Fuck your mothers.  Fuck your ancestry and progeny for a thousand generations. You sacks of shit have abdicated your responsibility to the truth in favor of partisan hackery.  Shame on you all.

Here’s the truth, I love truck too.

Trucking is A $1 TRILLION DOLLAR INDUSTRY, representing more than 10% of the US GDP.

Over 70% of all freight tonnage in the US is moved by Truck.

There are over 3.5 million truck drivers in the US, with an average salary of $57,000.  That is 3.5 million people making a solidly  middle class, living income.

Trucking is overwhelmingly small business, with 90% of Trucking companies having 10 trucks or less, and is one of the fastest growing small businesses in America.

Trucking is co critical to the US economy that trucking is used as a metric of economic performance.

There is a reason a common refrain of the American Trucking Association is:

The reason that some asshole from Buzzfeed, in New York City, is having a latte while writing a book mocking Trump is that coffee beans from South America delivered to the port of Miami, milk from a farm in Upstate New York, sugar from central Florida, and a mug from Ohio, all were shipped to NYC in a truck.  If he had a blueberry scone with that latte, we can add California, Kansas, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and a whole host of other states to that list.

That the President of the United States met with representatives of the trucking industry to celebrate trucking, instead of doing what Obama did and try to fuck it to death with EPA regulations,  is good for the American economy.

It’s good for the American Economy.

Good.

But the shit-for-brains, Leftist fuck-wits with the media won’t let that penetrate their bubble.

You know what?

I heart trucks too, you miserable, dishonest, sons-of-bitches.

*Honk-Honk*

 

More thoughts on Gorsuch

I’ve been watching the Judge Gorsuch confirmation hearings.

The takeaway I have from Judge Gorsuch is that he is a man that believes in the letter of the law.  He has no interest in being an activist or making his decisions based on the direction that the winds of politics blow.

This has Democrats apoplectic.

Compare Gorsuch’s statements with that of Judge Sotomayor.

“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.”

She never mentioned the rule of law once.   For her, a law was mutable to conform to her sympathy for the participants in a case.  Probably on the grounds of identity politics.

This hearing is about much more than confirming Gorsuch.  It is a battle of the rule of law versus the rule of feelz. 

This battle is being fought on every front in this administration.

Can cities ignore federal immigration laws because they have the sadz for drug dealers and rapists from Mexico and terrorists from the Middle East?

Is the right to keep and bear arms something that shall not be infringed even if it gives Democrats the scaredz?

If the Republicans waffle on Gorsuch, it will show the people that we have chosen to a nation that cannot rely on the law to be applied equally, became the interpretation of the law will be applied in a capricious way.

Senate Question

I wish I could ask Judge Gorsuch one question during the Senate confirmation hearing today:

“Judge Gorsuch, when we break for the day, I’m going to go home, sit on my couch, and put together a little YouTube playlist of videos of you and Congressman Trey Gowdy just absolutely demolishing Democrats with your brilliant legal acumen.  What do you think would go better with that, single malt Scotch or Kentucky Bourbon?”

Something I noticed during the Gorsuch hearing

I’ve been watching snippets of the confirmation hearing of Judge Neil Gorsuch for Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.

I love Gorsuch.  The man has one of the most brilliant legal minds I have ever seen in action.

I came to Senator Dianne Feinstein’s questioning of Judge Gorshuch.  What a clown-show, dumpster fire that was.  Let’s look at two clips.

First:

“Super-precedent.”  That’s what Roe v. Wade is to her, super-precedent.  There is no real legal definition for that that I can find but it is obvious what it means to her.  To her, Roe is a HIGER precedent than the rest of the Constitution and can’t be overturned.  Personally I don’t think it should be overturned, but I also don’t think that a decision from 1973 is so sacrosanct that it can’t be questioned.

Then we come to this:

What Senator Feinstein was doing was blatant.  She was probing him to determine what he thought the limitations of Heller was.  What can she propose to ban that he wouldn’t rule against.

She was trying to get him to admit that he’d uphold a ban on weapons most useful for the military.  Why?  So she can pull some legal fuckery and argue (like she’s done before) that any “assault weapon” is best suited for the military and justify a ban on semi-autos.

She was asking Judge Gorsuch exactly what size boot she is allowed to put on and how hard she can stomp it in the face of the American people before he will stop her.

To see this play out this way is mind blowing.

It is obvious that the Democrats have a very different copy of the Constitution than is enshrined at the National Archives.  Their version has a Second Amendment that says “An unregulated abortion is the necessary to the security of a liberated Woman, the right of doctors to keep and bear abortifacient , shall not be infringed.”  Your right to keep and bear arms, on the other hand, is limited to what they in their infinite ignorance doesn’t scare them and is completely capricious.

At this point, I am no longer going to argue against Bluexit.  The Liberal concept of a Civil Right is fucked.  To them, it is the right to stomp on others.  Unregulated abortion is the right to murder an unborn child, depriving it of its right to life, for the convenience of the mother.  The right to defend yourself, however, is racist and should be banned.

Since Liberals have decided they want a country where they are all running around stomping on each other’s faces in some gladiatorial oppression Olympics, where getting somebody fired for using the wrong pronoun with with you is the height of social achievement, they can take their boot and go.  I don’t want to live in that society.

Less than worthless

Moms Demand Action made this post about a recent Newsweek OpEd.

AMID RACIST THREATS, WE MUST DO MORE TO DISARM HATE.

#DisarmHate is one of the most worthless and social-justice-esque hashtags on Twitter right now.  It is full of Tweets like this:

Because there is nothing more intersectional than a hashtag dedicated to promoting the idea:

As a society we can stop this epidemic by hiring trans women of color, making sure they have safe places to live and standing up when we see or hear them being demeaned and attacked and simply by valuing their lives.”

But back to the Newsweek article.

During the recent Jewish holiday of Purim, at least seven Jewish community centers in the U.S. and Canada received bomb threats. Altogether, Jewish institutions in North America have received more than 150 threats of violence since the beginning of the year.

Lets forget for a moment that the first person to be arrested for making threats against Jewish groups wasn’t the white supremacist that everyone on the Left wanted it to be.

Or that the lasted round of campus Antisemitism has come from the deep blue University of Illinois at Chicago, in the form of flyers about “Jewish Privilege” – which is straight out of Nazi propaganda – and is associated with #BlackLivesMatter.

After seeing this horrible Antisemitism, what does the writer for Newsweek want?

But rather than proposing policies that would make targeted and vulnerable communities safer, the National Rifle Association (NRA) is doing everything it can to gut our existing gun laws and advance its agenda of more guns for anyone, anywhere, no questions asked.

I’m sorry, but after watching all that ANTIFA violence and watching Leftists attack Jews on college campuses you are damn straight that I want to be able to carry a gun on me anywhere, no questions asked.

I know firsthand how threats can turn violent and even fatal when individuals filled with hate have easy access to weapons. On a beautiful summer day in 2006, I was shot at the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, where I worked. Four of my female colleagues also were shot and—luckily—survived. Tragically, our colleague, Pam Waechter, was shot and killed that day.

In the more than 10 years since my shooting, the gun safety movement has made progress by passing gun laws that help keep guns out of dangerous hands. I have been proud to be part of that progress, working with Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, as well as the Alliance for Gun Responsibility, in Washington state.

But now the gun lobby is doing everything it can to undo that progress.

I truly feel bad for the author to have been in that situation.  I can’t imagine being there when that shooting happened.  However, the way I was raised, my reaction was different.  I felt the time had come for the “Israeli Approach.”

That’s right, bring a long gun.

What the author fails to mention is that the Jeiwsh Federation shooting was carried out by the US citizen of Pakistani heratage, and Muslim, Naveed Afzal Haq.  Muslims have become the pet darlings of the Radical Left, to the point where two of them are being hailed for leading the Women’s March (including a convicted terrorist).

This article wants me to believe that the threat comes from White Supremacists and the NRA is backing them.  Turns out, it is the Left coddling Radical Islamists and Jew haters in the name of Social Justice is the the real threat to Jews.

So I cam going to be armed.  I can’t trust the Left to protect me.  When some member of the Muslims Student Association tries to run me over or stick a knife in my ribs these same people will tell me not to be Islamophobic and if Israel wasn’t oppressing the Palestinians, maybe I wouldn’t be bleeding out.

Bullshit.  My father raised me to fight antisemitism with the two best tools we had, education and a 1911.  If the first fails, the second wont.

I’m just can’t take advice from a victim of Islamic terrorism who’s response is to disarm the Jews.  That is the attitude of a Capo.  I’m going to stand with the NRA, knowing that if the Left won’t try and stop Islamic and Leftist Antisemites from trying to hurt or kill me, I’m going to have to do it myself.
