There Ought To Be A Law
Less Is More
It was Einstein or Ben Franklin who said the definition of insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
This came to mind as the Trump cabinet is being put in place. It has nothing to do with the picks but everything to do with the government departments to be led. The latest appointment as Energy Secretary is Rick Perry, the same Rick Perry who sputtered out during a presidential debate that this particular department should be shut down. I whole heartily agree that there are a number of alphabet departments that should be closed but my point is that by appointing a guy to lead a department, that in his estimation should be shuttered, is irony on steroids.
Trumps claim during his campaign was to eliminate waste and drain the swamp that is Washington DC. That’s all well and fine but the proof is in the pudding and right now all I can see is another administration taking it’s turn with the toys. Don’t get me wrong I love the majority of the picks, (jury is still out on Mitch McConnells little dove taking over transportation department), but this all seems like business as usual.
If Trump really wanted to send shock waves through DC he would place these people as clearing house appointments charged with eliminating alphabet agencies and letting states absorb the responsibilities dictating size and scope on their dime. The environmental/energy needs in Florida are different from say North Dakota, thus the states decide on their own issues versus a one size fits all policy, let the states have some skin in the game considering industrial impacts and constituents/business input from the people who actually live there. It’s ridiculous having bureaucrats making crucial decisions from their cubicles in DC on a farmers irrigation pond in west Texas. If you expand that thought, the same thing can be said with the Department of Education, EPA, GSA, Department of Labor, etc…
It’s my hope Trump and his cabinet understand all of this otherwise we are doing the same thing over and over again. Stop the insanity….less is more.
Seems About Right
An Observation Of Reality
“I don’t understand the argument itself,” the “Tucker Carlson Tonight” and Daily Caller founder stated. “I don’t think anyone dismisses that Russia was hacking servers or email accounts in the United States. They’ve done it for years, and so have the Chinese.”
“The question is did that sway the election results, and if it did, how so exactly?”
“Let’s just say they did. What does that mean? It means that voters got more information than they would have had otherwise. It’s not a defense of hacking, it’s merely an observation of reality.”
“Voters knew things they wouldn’t have known otherwise,” Carlson added before asking “are they really making the argument that voters ought to have had less information?”
“The problem, again, isn’t fake news. It’s real news. Nobody disputes that the WikiLeaks stuff was real.” here….

Thanks Obama, what a lovely scene from Main Street America. found here
Obviously she wanted to share the joy of being disgusting in public via social media.
How It’s Done
A decorated US Navy admiral took the time to troll Colin Kaepernick during the 75th Anniversary Pearl Harbor Day Commemoration ceremony on Wednesday — saying those who died on that fateful day “never took a knee and never failed to stand” during the national anthem. here….
The remarks were made by U.S. Pacific Command Commander Adm. Harry Harris, who had a father and four uncles serve in World War II.
“You can bet that the men and women we honor today — and those who died that fateful morning 75 years ago — never took a knee and never failed to stand whenever they heard our national anthem being played,” Harris told the crowd in Hawaii, sparking a lengthy standing ovation.
“Hearing the words, ‘The land of the free and home of the brave’ means something special for every American, every day,” he later added. “But today, on Dec. 7, it takes on extraordinary significance.”

Well Done!
How Soon They Forget
The Obama administration, through their talking hairdo Josh Ernest, said the Pearl Harbor veterans need to get over their “bitterness” of the Pearl Harbor attack.
Yes, there may be some who feel personally embittered. But I’m confident that many will set aside their own personal bitterness, not because they’re personally satisfied by the words of the Prime Minister, but because they recognize how important this moment is for the United States. _ Josh Ernest, White House spox
There’s a reason Americans will always be bitter about a cowardly attack…..because we can and we should.
Fuck you Josh.
Don’t Know What To Think
Trump meeting with the unhinged climate whore “The polar ice caps will be gone by 2012” Al Gore is more than unsettling. If this is just a one off to appease his daughter or the first red flag of a Trump administration, it’s quite troubling.
Al Gore’s a nut job who bows at the progressive alter of climate change. Why the fuck would any republican meet with him let alone Trump who supposedly sees’ through all the bullshit?
I’m not sure what to think but this is a head scratcher.
NFL SJW Benched
Probably lost focus because of all the……ya know…..oppression. Poor 29 year old millionaire.
CHICAGO — Trailing by 18 points early in the fourth quarter Sunday, 49ers coach Chip Kelly had seen enough from quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Kelly benched Kaepernick in favor of Blaine Gabbert after Kaepernick and the 49ers’ passing game was non-existent against the Chicago Bears on a snowy day at Soldier Field.
Kaepernick completed just one of five pass attempts for 4 yards. He was also sacked five times for minus-25 yards to give the 49ers minus-21 net yards passing in his three quarters of action.
