A Nod To The Gods

“Now, after the election in 2016, I faced a choice,” said Cruz. “Donald Trump had been elected president and we had an opportunity to do something extraordinary. I made a conscious choice to do the job I’d been elected to do, which is to represent 28 million Texans. I’ve got a responsibility which is to fight for every person here and every person in this state.”

Working “hand in hand with the president,” Cruz described “remarkable victories” on tax cuts, jobs created, deregulation, and unemployment.

“Texans’ lives are better, so yes I could have chosen to make it about myself to be selfish and say, ‘You know what, my feelings are hurt. So I’m going to take my marbles and go home,’” said Cruz. “But I think that would have been not doing the job I was elected to, and every single day in the Senate it has been my job to fight for jobs, jobs, jobs, and to fight for 28 million Texans.” _ Ted Cruz response to debate moderator’s question about him “losing his dignity” working with President Trump

And surprise, surprise, surprise! Allison Hrabar, the Squeaky-Fromme-mousy-looking-pint-sized-unibrow-thugette who harassed Kirstjen Nielsen has been caught talking about how she uses the resources of the department, on department time, to find out the addresses of Trump supporters and administration members for the purpose of sending goon squads over to protest/harass them and their families.

Supposedly the DoJ is now looking into the revelations of this video but I don’t know what if anything they’ll do. I know what should be done. They should at minimum be fired and their pensions forfeited, union rules be damned. If it’s a war they want, then a war is what they should have. Con gusto. And Hrabar et al are just the little foot soldiers in what amounts to insurrection. Hell, they call themselves “the resistance” so why not treat them as such? When Palsi Pelosi and Cuck Schemer, let alone Brennan are calling for those still in the DoJ, FBI and intel agencies to refuse to declassify documents that the President lawfully orders them to, then you have what we call in the trade as “a situation.”

Again, if this is a war – and it most certainly is, especially after all we have seen and heard since November of 2016 – then it should be treated as such.   Keep reading…..

So what happened in 2012? Coincidentally (or not), 2012 was another election year.

In 2012, Romney ran against Obama. Up until his 47% gaffe, Romney was doing well. He actually had a shot of winning.

For the Democrats, as has been the case since Bork, having a Republican in the White House, especially with the ever-aging but never retiring Ruth Bader Ginsburg a perpetual risk, raised the specter of a conservative judge getting appointed to the Supreme Court. With that in mind, one Twitter user, who must have an amazing memory, remembered something interesting he’d read back in 2012:

https://t.co/hxaYqQfPI0 March 2012, the left was preparing for a possible Romney win. They assessed that Kavanaugh would be his Supreme Court pick and this accusation was ready to go. Then Obama won so the story died. Now its reemerged. Read last few lines of this 2012 article

I’ll save you a click to The New Yorker website. The article, which The New Yorker published in 2012, is a Jeffrey Toobin analysis about Bret Kavanaugh and the threat he would pose should he get on the Supreme Court. According to Toobin, Kavanaugh was a scary conservative who, if he got on the Court, might overturn Obamacare:   Keep Reading….

Bye Bye Nike. Idiots

Nike selected former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernickas the face of its “Just Do It” campaign, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

The idea of White Privilege is to pretend that Jaden Smith, or Barack Obama’s kids, have fewer opportunities than some poor, white, son-of-meth-head does, by nature of skin color.
