BEST AND WORST OF FALL TV 2015. WHAT WILL THE REAPER KILL OFF FIRST?

Recent polls have Bernie Sanders twenty points over Hillary in NH and ten in Iowa (but still trailing in SC by double digits suggesting black people need to get their heads out of their ass), so let's look at the disaster unfolding known as Fall TV programming. This year looks like it has a couple of guaranteed hits, a few that could go either way and a lot that won't see Halloween. Who keeps making these shows? They do know there are more than three channels and other entertainment options right?

BEST OF FALL TV
10)Blindspot- A great plot about a naked woman found in Times Square stuffed in a duffel bag covered in tattoos about future crimes has great promise, a good time slot after the Voice and the super hot Jamie Alexander as a lead will definitely have me tuned in. I just hope that it doesn't devolve quick like the Blacklist did last season. Once Tom came back into the picture on that show, it lost me.

9)Scream Queens- The creator of Glee and AHS looks to have struck gold again with this slasher show set among a soriority where the residents are getting offed one by one. Again, while I didn't watch Scream, I heard the ending and the killer reveal sucked. I can only hope this one does better. This one does has Jamie Lee Curtis and she rocks so there is that.

8)The Bastard Excutioner- They had me at Kurt Sutter's involvement and being on the FX channel.

7)Heroes- A show that as Sheldon Cooper said, "gradually got worse and worse until we were happy it finally got cancelled," is back and I have to admit looks better than it was. I am willing to give it another chance as they have assembled a lot of the cast back and the plot, again involving the end of the world, could work this time. They have had years to get it right.

6)Quantico- Another show that if they can sustain the premise of a terrorist mole within the ranks of new FBI agents, this could work. If it becomes too soapy, or runs off the rails like Homeland did, this will tank hard. For now I am willing to check it out and see for myself.

5)Agent X- TNT's new show starring Sharon Stone as the VP of the US who discovers that there is a hidden part of the Constitution that gives her the power to direct a covert operative to right the wrongs of the country in times of need. Sounds interesting.

4)Man in the High Castle- The second Dick novel to be turned TV show and this is a ground breaking one as it presents an alternative reality where Germany and Japan won the war and now control America. Streaming on Amazon, Sy-fy channel should be emabrassed they walked away from this.

3)Into the Badlands- On AMC this November, this show is out there. A futuristic take on China's fable book, Journey to the West (itself a great movie and nothing like the show), this is set decades in the future where a Buddhist monk undertakes a fantastic quest that will involve him beating the crap out of people who get in his way. If martial arts are your thing, do not miss this.

2)The Muppets- Easily one of the most anticipated show of the fall and the fact that only one show could beat this for top spot is stunning in and of itself. The previews are laugh out loud funny and should be a giant hit.

1)Ash VS the Evil Dead- This could be the greatest TV show in the history of TV if you are into this kind of thing. Going for old school schlock rather than CGI, Bruce Campbell is back as Ash, everyone's favorite Deadite killer for ten new episodes this Halloween. I will be watching this show many, many times, buying the DVD and watching that some more. I am literally giggling just thinking about new Evil Dead adventures.

WORST OF FALL 2015-

10)Life In Pieces- Modern Family ripoff but has a huge lead for the first six weeks with still great Big Bang Theory. I still think this looks really derivative even with a stellar cast. Unsure how it will do.

9)Minority Report- One of two Phillip K. Dick series and one of two movie tie ins on TV this fall. I have heard the pilot is uber-boring, the lead uber-dull, and the time slot uber-lethal, opposite Scorpion, the Voice and DWTS, as well as Monday Night Football on cable. This won't last long and has a real shot at first reaped.

8)Supergirl- I have no problem with female super heroes and am looking forward to Wonder Woman even if I think Alexandria Daddio should have gotten the part. I am very leery of this after the first trailer was a carbon copy of a sketch Scarlett Johansson did of Black Widow on SNL. When you echo parody, you ask for trouble. I am also not a huge Superman/Supergirl fan and would rather watch Gotham opposite it. This one could go either way.

7)Limitless- Another TV tie in, this one has Bradley Cooper as a producer and occasional guest about a guy who takes a pill and becomes super smart. Unfortunately, this plot already failed once last year with Josh Holloway's Intelligence (which did indeed suck), and the lead is so badly written you almost want him to fail. Good luck with this.

6)Chicago Med- Who keeps watching these medical dramas? They never change. It's like watching old ER episodes on a never ending loop. The brutal time slot of Tuesday at nine will kill this show stat.

5)Code Black- See above. This one is also preachy as hell but in a better time slot. I still do not think it will last.

4)Rosewood- A medical examiner with a heart condition solves crimes and ZZZZ, sorry dozed off mid sentence. Fox is squandering their pre-Empire time slot in an already weak field. This one won't last long.

3)Truth be Told- When you start out your show with a joke about "white guilt being entertaining," you've not only lost me, I am rooting for you to fail. A sitcom without jokes, likable characters or anything resembling reality, this is NBC's ONLY new sitcom this year. What on God's green Earth did they turn down to okay this piece of garbage? This one may not last two episodes.

2)Dr. Ken- Ken Jeong is not a leading man. And this sitcom proves it. Opposite the above sitcom, Friday at 8:30 is where humor this fall goes to die. The fact he is playing yet another dimwitted dad makes me even angrier. When can we get the wife as the fool for once?

1)The Player- Considering How To Get Away With Murder and football are opposite this giant misfire with Wesley Snipes about people who bet on crime, they will be shooting snake eyes almost immediately. No way does this make past past Halloween, with low digit episodes airing before either moving to Saturday's or getting yanked all together. A must miss and most of you will.

DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: MIKE HUCKABEE!

You know you've scrapped bottom when even fellow Republicans are looking at you and shaking their heads in shame. Overall, anyone not named Trump or Carson had a bad week. The rest of the pack is showing real weakness, especially Scott Walker whose campaign is on life support now and at least five others whose departure is imminent. But between Ted Cruz's utter lack of knowledge about just about anything, Sarah Palin proving once again she is the dumbest human on the planet and Mike Huckabee's spoken desire to turn this country into a theocracy, we had some real winners. Let's see those runner ups.

10)Jeff Smisek- The former head of United was forced to step down this week after allegation of bribery concerning Newark airport, and wait for it, the Chris Christie administration surfaced and looks bad for all involved. David Samson, head of the Port Authority, has been linked to a scandal involving money in exchange for more flights to Colombia, SC, where Samson had a summer home. While Christie most likely had nothing to do with this, combined with Bridgegate, which the last debate ignored completely for some reason, shows what kind of people he hires. If CNN does NOT ask Christie about this during the debate you have my permission to stand outside CNN and scream obscenities at anyone who works there. As expected so far no charges have been filed because the rich have one set of laws and the rest of us another.

9)Ken Lee Sheka- This is the first of two stories this week about the worst cops in the country, a depressingly repeating category and the reason why trust for the boys in blue is at historic lows. While at a Texas convention, in a room filled with police officers, Officer Dumbass started groping a waitress very inappropriately. When she told him to stop, he pulled out his gun and fired it at the wall. Instead of being fired on the spot, he faces "disciplinary action." Right, that's appropriate. This protection of lunatic cops is why people HATE the cops lately and stunts like this are not helping. At least he is facing charges for firing a gun illegally which again is for some reason not grounds for termination.

8)NYPD- These guys had another awful week. Proving once again that the NYPD are the worst shots in the country, while getting into a gunfight with a legitimate scumbag, police fired 84 shots and missed with 83 of them. Wow, I am willing to bet that a person with Parkinson's could do better than that. Then there is an even worse PR disaster when some gung ho cop tackled a black guy who turned out to be former tennis pro, James Blake, all of which was caught on tape. This is from the WSJ:

James Frascatore, 38, a four-year veteran of the NYPD—is seen kneeling on top of Mr. Blake, who appears not to be resisting arrest, as he cuffs Mr. Blake’s hands behind his back during a botched credit card fraud sting. The NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau interviewed Mr. Blake Thursday night, and the investigation is ongoing, said department spokesman Stephen Davis. The officer was placed on modified duty.

The video shows Frascatore tackle Blake with no provocation or reason. Blake has gotten apologies from the police commissioner and Mayor but feels that is not enough and he is right. The fact that the cop in question is currently facing two similar charges of excessive force, maybe it is time to let him go already. He is not a good cop and we have video proof of it. What more do you want?

7)Kim Davis- We should take bets to see how long it is before this waste of space goes back to jail for interfering with her duties as a town clerk. She wasn't out of jail for two seconds, with Farmer Joe standing beside her looking like some Hee Haw reject, before she planned to use the courts again to get her way. Christ she is like Congress and Obamacare. Give it up already. You lost.

6)ESPN and Mike Tomlin- The Patriots walloped the Steelers this week, out playing them at every level. HA! So how did Mike Tomlin react to getting his ass kicked? Accusing the Pats of cheating of course. During the game, they had problems with the headsets on both sides and had them turned off so no one got an advantage. As the Pats have no access to the headsets before the game, or the network that controls them, and got no advantage over this, how is that cheating? ESPN not to be outdone, dug up some highly questionable accusations about Spygate, a scandal settled way back in 2007. They allege that Patriots stole team playbooks from locker rooms and offered absolutely no proof of said allegations. We get it. You don't like the Patriots. Suck it ESPN and Mike Tomlin for sour grapes. Pats back in the Super Bowl is what I expect.

5)Syrian Refugees- This manufactured crisis has gotten all sort of sympathy from bleeding heart liberals who only see compassion and not the bigger picture. Yes, it is horrible that people live in warlike conditions, but I hate to break it to Americans, we are to blame as much as Muslim extremists are. Because we refuse to get off of oil, something that is entirely possible in this day and age, we fund war and death and won't make a single sacrifice in it's place. And simply relocating endless waves of refugees is a recipe for disaster as they can change the ethnic make up of a country to a radically different one and lead to the rise of far right, Hitler like, dictators. Oh and that dead child that drowned that everyone went boo hoo about turns out to be not some refugee after all but the son of coyote for regularly took him on smuggling missions. What a dad. Germany is having second thoughts about taking in millions and with good reason. This sounds bad, but we need to support Assad and these refugees should be fighting at home for their land rather than cowardly running away, something Muslim nations have done throughout history. Assad is better than ISIS period. Pick a side guys because if ISIS wins, they stand at Israel's door.

4)Rick Perry- The first to see the writing on the wall, and predicted here as being the first to drop out when he stopped paying his staff, Perry has quit the race leaving a scant 16 other candidates to choose from. CNN has a junior debate that is using questionable data to include who they want as most of the people there do NOT have 1% support, so Jindal, Pataki, Santorum and Graham shouldn't be there any more than Gilmore, who was uninvited, should be. None of them are over 1%. At least Perry can watch this travesty at home.

3)Sarah Palin- This week she told the country to speak American, which doesn't exist, and for Native Americans to go back to Nativia, which also doesn't exist. She does know we can hear her right? This person came within one breath of being the second most powerful person on Earth and she doesn't understand basic facts about anything. She also came out against people spitting on Kim Davis and the Iran deal because, you know, 'Merica. What a true idiot.

2)Republicans- They had another spectacular week which involved defunding Planned Parenthood, and a government shutdown if necessary because that worked out so well for them last time as well as yet another legal challenge versus Obamacare, this time having to do with a profit sharing deal with insurance companies. The funny part is that this is exactly why Trump is ahead and Boehner's job is in jeopardy because Republicans to their credit are tired of the status quo. They want jobs and a better economy and so far the GOP has done exactly zero on that department since gaining power. They haven't even tried. If they keep this up they may have spectacular losses in 2016.

1)Mike Huckabee- I cannot believe how many establishment Republicans were horrified by this obvious campaign stunt that blew up in his face. Ted Cruz should be glad he was regulated to the side lines for this because this did not work like he planned. Huckabee showed he had no idea how our legal system works, debated on the legality of the Dred Scot appeal as well as the 13th and 14th amendment and then went on to stay we should be ignoring all laws that God tells us to, otherwise known as Sharia law and theocratic rule. Hate to break it to him but that is never going to happen here and this latest push for "Christian rights" is nothing more than a smokescreen for bigotry. It also has no hope in the courts which have shut that idea down harshly time and time again and with good reason as it would cause chaos. But this douche can't see that yet wants to be our President? Anyone supporting this ass is too stupid to vote so just don't and go back to playing with your own poo or finger painting or whatever child like thing you are doing today. His numbers this week slid hard because of this and he faces a Rick Perry exit sooner than later. Good. So congratulations Mike Huckabee you are indeed douchebag of the week.

REPUBLICANS INFIGHTING, WILD POLL SWINGS AND OTHER ELECTION NEWS! ARE JOHN BOEHNER'S DAYS NUMBERED AS SPEAKER?

It has been a wild week for polls. A new Iowa poll must have the Clinton camp spitting nails because it has Sanders one point ahead now. I am so tired of hearing how neither Trump nor Sanders can not only not win the nomination but would get clobbered in the general election, unless of course that is the match-up and then one has to win. After watching the pundits nationwide utterly fail to show any discretion after the last debate, in which Trump "sucked" while Walker and Bush nailed it (the exact opposite of reality for anyone who watched it), they are still determined to force a Bush/Clinton narrative down our throat. The public however, seems to have other ideas.

And now we keep hearing how Carla Fiorina is on the rise, which is odd because as someone who analyzes poll data for a living, and whose national polls echos, has not risen above three percent nationally since forever. She has done well in a couple of state polls and that's it. It doesn't help that of all the candidates in this race from either side, she is easily the worst choice. I would rather say the words President Huckabee than her name. At least everyone else has some sort of record to run on, while she ran HP into the ground while rewarding herself with huge golden parachutes and fired 30,000 people in the process. Yeah, she'd be great.

But recent polls show Trump on the rise and with good reason: he is still the best candidate for President on the GOP side. He is the only one to say the TPP is terrible (something Hillary won't take a stand on like everything else in her campaign), won't cut Social Security (unlike everyone else who wants to cut it down to nothing) and thinks raising taxes on the rich is a good idea (who in the GOP would back that idea?). The rest of the clown car is hell bent on doing the opposite which would decimate this country.
 
Bush had a new set of ads for NH airing and while I will admit they were good political ads demonstrating his "strengths," they still stretch the truth something fierce. However, unlike Hillary who spent $2.2 million just in NH only to see her numbers plummet, he actually said what he planned on doing, even if I don't believe him for one red second. Hillary's were some of the worst I have ever seen, focusing on her mother and her status as a grandmother while offering not one idea of her plans for the future which so far are frustratingly vague.

As it stands right now between Trump at 32% and Carson at 19%, the rest of the GOP is fighting for relevance. After that it is single digits for everyone else. Bush is at 9%, Cruz at 7% then Huckabee and Walker at 5%. The rest poll is at three percent or lower, like Graham whose numbers are now statistically zero. Ouch! Time to quit dude. It seems very likely at this point that Trump will be the nominee and if his opponent turns out to be Hillary, he may win. However, her viability is fading fast, leading the establishment democrats scrambling hinting that if Biden doesn't run, Warren (a real long shot there), Kerry (God NO!) or even Gore may enter. I think those are more fantasy than reality and Sanders still has a real chance at the nomination and a chance to win, to the horror of Wall Street executives everywhere. To be honest, the status quo has real reason to worry if either the leading outsiders make it to the high office.

Meanwhile the GOP is doing their best to sabotage any hope for 2016 with several high profile snit fits. First, in the zillioneth attempt to get rid of Obamacare, a Federal Judge has ruled that some sort of cost sharing plan that Obama had with health care operators was unconstitutional, once again sending this almost certainly to the Supreme Court. Groundhog Day anyone?

Then there is the GOP revolt over the Iran deal, claiming that since they didn't get all the documents they requested, the 60 day clock hasn't started yet and they still have months to try to derail it. The problem with this tactic is legally they aren't allowed to get the documents they requested as they pertain to foreign governments, so in essence, this would stall the plan forever. However, the plan will go into effect September 17th with or without US involvement, and as the terms have been met according to the Iran deal, Obama will sign it into law regardless. This is sour grapes guys for a plan that may not be perfect, and no deal is, but it is the best we can hope for and not get into a nuclear war with Iran, which will be the final outcome. If they start to cheat, and I do expect them to, then we can start plans to end the world then.

All of this has put John Boehner's speakership at risk. That, combined with a possible government shutdown at the end of the month over Planned Parenthood funding, is causing a lot of waves within the ranks. Some are bitching that McConnell didn't use the nuclear option to make the filibuster a thing of the past, ignoring the fact that if they lose control of the House and Senate, a real possibility come 2016, liberals can advance their agenda unchecked. This is why democrats didn't undo it completely either. The lack of leadership from the GOP who have advanced exactly zero pieces of legislation over the last few years is making Republicans mental. They still have no job plan, other than tax cuts which don't work, no immigration plan beyond send em back to Mexico regardless of whether or not they are actually from there, and a tax plan that would be trickle down economics which are a proven failure. So far all I hear from them is abortion and gay people bad, rich people do not have enough money and poor people are stealing from us by demanding things like food and a roof over their heads. The shame of it all.

The reason Trump is ahead is that, and this is hard for me to even write, but he is the sanest choice out of the clown limo that is the GOP. No other candidate would even make me think twice about voting for them. Some would make me vote for, gasp, Hillary. Ugh, had to force some vomit back down writing that but if it came down to most of the GOP and Hillary I would be backing her, the same way I voted for Kerry over Bush, even though I hated both people. The good news is it seem increasingly unlikely that she can win, digging her hole deeper and deeper while facing a tide of anti-establishment revolt that is sweeping this country coast to coast. Sanders is the best candidate running. Help make him our next President. Please.

KIM DAVIS, SYRIAN REFUGEES AND OTHER EXAMPLES OF MINDLESS RELIGIOUS EXTREMISM!

I have had it up to here (picture my hands above my head) with religious wingnuts worldwide. Here at home we have bigoted morons claiming solidarity with MLK over denying rights to an individual, or in other words, the exact opposite of Davis, Cruz, Huckabee and their ilk. MLK was intent on granting rights to black people not take them away. The level of stupidity I see on a daily basis in mind numbing.

Take this example of government in action. After three weeks, I finally got my insurance subsidies fixed. However, I won't see a check until next month meaning I am over a thousand dollars in the hole. Thanks guys. Even worse, I was given an appointment to talk to someone about this and received the letter four days AFTER the interview had been scheduled. The postmark said the letter was sent the day before, meaning there was zero chance I would get the letter in time. So I spent an hour on hold yesterday before they hung up on me and another forty minutes this morning all to answer two questions they already knew. This is your tax dollars in actions.

But I digress. Religious stupidity is gaining ground among some and it's nauseating. Davis was released from court yesterday to the thunderous applause of the dozen idiots who support her. Where's a suicide bomber when you want one? Her husband was decked out like some Green Acres reject, dirty overalls and all, as they rejoiced to "Eye of The Tiger," a song which the band Survivor did not give permission to use (meaning I guess God's law now trumps copyright law as well) and insinuated that they may sue. The morons keeps repeating that five justices cannot make law, with Michelle Bachmann joining the chorus now, completely unaware that that is exactly how a law gets made, yet these people were in office, lawyers or have been or currently are, running for President. Anyone thinking Huckabee would be a great leader needs to get a huge bottle of sleeping pills and have at it.

I would love to see her version of the Birmingham letters that she allegedly wrote in jail. I am sure they would be badly misspelled dribble that would praise Jesus while having no earthly idea who or what Jesus actually said or did. Funny things about Jesus is that he never said one word about gay people. However, he did explicitly condemn divorce and adultery which She Hag here (is it against your religion to own a comb?) is very guilty of having been divorced three times.

According to Church law, which she allegedly is so pious on, she is a heretic and should be excommunicated from the Church for not getting an annulment for any of her divorces. These are hard to get once, and no way would she get an annulment three times, so how is she so religious that she doesn't understand that regardless of her beliefs and she is going to hell for this sin? Gay people aside, this bitch is going to burn and her own religion states this. The nonsense that believing in Jesus absolves you of all sin (Baptist and born again claptrap) is dangerous, self serving and not in line with a single teaching of Christ. So explain to me again how gay people are the problem here?

I expect her to start denying gay marriage licenses the second she gets back. When she does, that judge is going to be PISSED and she will get an even longer stay behind bars. The funny part is her chances of being re-elected in 2016 are about nil, and will have to seek some religious moron to hire her because the rest of America is going to say "No Thank You."

Then there is Syrian Migrant Crisis which is eerily reminiscent of Jews circa 1938. They fled persecution from the Germans to get the cold shoulder from the rest of the world. But with social media we now see dead babies wash ashore and humanity takes hold. I am not so sure that is a great idea however.

Yes, the people deserve some respect and comfort and with Germany offering to take in millions, the rest of the EU isn't so quick to help and with good reason. This is going to alter the physical makeup of countries from Christian to Muslim and that is not necessarily a good thing for a lot of reasons. First and foremost is cost. How are you going to pay for all of these new people? And where are the jobs, which are already in decline, going to come from? On top of that, you are going to foster even greater hatred toward a group that is already not well liked throughout the EU. Countries like Holland, England and France have growing political parties that are extremely anti-Muslim and with good reason as Muslims want to establish their own culture that is at odds with the mainstream, just like Kim Davis and her group of schmucks. This has led to banning thing like minarets, the hijab and burkas, which I have no problem with. Your religion does NOT give you carte blanche to pick and choose which laws you want to follow. And these countries are NOT Muslim which means just like women cannot go with their head uncovered in some countries, you can't go to France and start dictating terms of accommodation either.

And then there is the distinct possibility that terrorist are using this mass migration to get into the EU and direct a new wave of terrorism. Pictures show some bad guys that may be with in the crowd and as no one has any idea, anonymity is a good smokescreen. What happens if some of these break from the crowd and start wrecking havoc? How soon before the public turns on all of them, including the innocent? The best idea is to establish camps, that may not be ideal but are still better than living in a war zone or letting people unchecked into Europe, and lead a campaign to annihilate radical Islam from the Earth which means siding with people like Assad, getting off of oil and putting the hammer down on countries like Iran and even allies, like Saudi Arabia, the leading export of terrorism on Earth with the Wahhabi sect they foster that causes so much damage worldwide. But first, we can wipe out ISIS which will require the will and the knowledge that innocent people will die as well. This nation and the world is filled with giant pussies however which makes this outcome in the never going to happen range. The alternative is to wait until one of these douchebags gets a hold of some weapon of mass destruction and we see a mushroom cloud over Tel Aviv, which would be the end of the world when Israel unleashes their nuclear arsenal against whoever they please. It is not a matter of if but when. I have always known  since college that the most likely end of the world scenario that was most likely was Muslim extremists. Two, was economic collapse. I still feel pretty good about both of those.

ISIS has been caught selling antiquities they allegedly destroyed proving they are just as hypocritical as the rest of these asses. Christians are screaming bloody murder about gay people while they continue to have affairs, divorce and do other things that are against the biggest tenets of the Church. Why are religious people so awful for the most part? They do know Jesus was a socialist right? Until we get a handle on this and start pointing and laughing at the super religious for behaving like spoiled children nothing will get better. A good start would be fleeing the Huckabee or Cruz campaigns for more level waters. Grow a brain America and the rest of the world. We are getting way too stupid to live anymore. Trust me when I say, this will not end well for anyone if we continue down this course.

DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: KIM DAVIS AND RELIGIOUS EXTREMISTS!

I hate overly religious people. As someone who has been inundated with religious claptrap his whole life, and went on to study all religions in college, I can say with 100% certainty that most religious people are full of it. They seem to be far worse than the general public with a strange fixation on sex, and the ability to say to hell with anti-adultery laws (which is explicitly a huge no-no in the Bible) while telling others that gay people are going to hell because of a few passages, some taken out of context. Their leader right now, Kim Davis, has started a firestorm of hypocrisy and "religious freedom" bull so large that I can't take it any more. More on that later so let's see those runner ups.

10)Shannon Miles/BLM-What wrath hath the Black Lives Matter movement wrecked havoc with this week? In a stunning repeat of the failed Occupy Wall Street Movement, their lack of action on even the most basic of reforms is leading to the injury and deaths of several police officers this past week. OWS died because they had no real demands. BLM is doing the exact same thing. Both groups have an important message that is not untrue but are handling it so piss poorly that the whole movement is going to fizzle out. Shannon Miles, a black loser with yet another history of mental illness, shot Officer Goforth while he was gassing up his car. Explain to me how guns are the problem when the one constant thread in every attack over the last few decades is not the weapon but the fact they were crazy? Knives, bats and even screwdrivers kill more people every year and the one constant is that a lot of the time, the culprit is either insane, black or both in this case. BLM should be focusing on the rampant crime in their neighborhoods because as many in that community realize, it's not white cops shooting innocent people that is as big a problem as black people killing each other is. Cameras need to be on every cop, accountability has to be increased, the drug war needs to end and black people have to accept some responsibility for their own actions. Until those happen, nothing is going to change.

9)Ashley Madison New Subscribers- This is why I hate people and also why I think at least half this country is too stupid to live anymore. Ashley Madison, the adultery website, got 100,000 new subscribers this week even after the news that not only was the information you give them not protected, it's also a giant fraud with most of the women on the site fake. Yet, somehow, someway, 100,000 people said that was just fine with them. WTF? How dumb are some people. I got a Nigerian mail scam in my email today, a scam which has been exposed for decades now, yet some still buy into it. I give up America. If you are really this stupid, we deserve President Trump.

8)Bard Inc.- This medical device company is killing people with impunity and our legal system doesn't seem to to care. Over the last few years 27 people died from a stunt placed in an artery to catch blood clots before they reach the heart. But the device is malfunctioning and a piece of the arm is coming dislodged and killing people. So corporations are people for tax purposes but above the law when it comes to negligent homicide? They knew about this, covered it up, and yet no one is going to jail for murder. Try doing this not being a multi billion dollar company and see how long a stay in jail you get. If you wanted hard proof our society is a plutocracy, this is it.

7)Anti-Iran Deal People- Obama can declare victory because one way or another, the Iran deal is going through. The right and Jews are screaming bloody murder about this but neither side has given us a reasonable alternative, which is the way of the world. People on the right who don't like something want it go away with no idea what to do in it's place. That is as far as they mind set goes. Iraq proved that. The Iran deal is not the greatest but it is the best we are going to get. The alternative is a nuclear war. That is not an exaggeration as the only way to beat Iran in a war is with nuclear weapons. So for all of you beating your head against the wall against this, unless you have a viable alternative, shut the hell up. The democrats have a veto proof majority now so it IS going through. Deal with it.

6)Bryan Johnson- This rookie cop of Millis, MA was fired this week, and faces prosecution, for a hoax in which he said a pickup shot as his car which caused him to crash in a fiery wreck. None of that was true as ballistics discovered only the officers bullets at the scene, including into his own vehicle. How does a cop, rookie or not, not understand forensics in this day and age? How did this utter moron get to be a cop, which should be a telling sign as to why cops are being vilified? His lies, for reasons still unknown, caused the entire town to be shut down, schools and businesses closed, all for nothing. It's no surprise he's being looked at at the local mental institution.
5)The Syrian Migrant Crisis- Sympathy for these poor people trying to escape a war zone is running into reality over who is going to take all of these people in, Muslims none the less, into a society that increasingly hates them. Think Jew circa 1939 and that should give you a starting point. I feel bad for these people but the reality is there is way too many and no money at the time to use for them. They do not want to go camps, and who could blame them, but you can't unleash them into your society unchecked either. There isn't enough jobs for the locals, so what are they going to do? Apply for welfare mostly which overwhelms the system and deprives citizens who need it too. The best solution would be to side with Assad and unleash hell upon ISIS who need to be exterminated from the face of this Earth. The alternative is a never-ending stream of migrants to countries who cannot take them in. We've seen this before and it never ends well.

4)Scott Walker and Jeb Bush- Recent polls show Bush faltering badly and Walker imploding. Bush finished a distant third in national polls and Walker has slipped to seventh. I always knew Walker would not be a popular choice for the country as his style is too laid back and extreme at the same time for anyone to take seriously. His state is badly run, like other falling candidates Christie and Jindal, and people see that. Bush is trying to take on Trump to realign his campaign but that seems to be having the opposite effect. The establishment is NOT popular on either side of the aisle and anyone seen as being part of it, is not getting any traction at all anymore. To put it simply: WE DON'T BELIEVE YOU ANYMORE!

3)Roger Goodell- Talk about getting bitch slapped on TV! Goodell got his hat handed to him when a judge vacated the ruling against Brady, leading to the fifth time in a row that has happened. Even more shocking, rather than letting this go and trying to make people forget about it, dumbass is appealing it. According to judicial review, in all cases, appeal courts overturn rulings 2.3% of the time. When the NFL is involved, that number drops to below 1%. So even though history says you have a 99% chance of losing, you're still going through with it? This guy is way too stupid to be commissioner anymore and if he keeps this kind of crap up, he may just be out on his ear.

2)Hillary Clinton- Her email scandal, real or not, is causing people to lose faith in her and her poll numbers keep dropping. She is now underwater in NH, way behind Sanders, and losing a lot of ground in Iowa. After an ill-advised interview on NBC news, in which she came across like someone who had no idea how computers work, she had to do more damage control which seems to be her fallback position. Talk, make things worse, fix it, repeat. Biden may enter which would make me happy as establishment or not, I like him way better than Hillary. That bitch has got to go.

1)Kim David and religious extremists- I hate Kim Davis and any idiot supporting her (Mike Huckabee you fat fuck, I am looking directly at you). Nowhere in our constitution does "God's law," which doesn't exist, supersede National law. NOWHERE! Religious beliefs aside, when you take a job you are bound by the rules of said job. This is the outcome of right to work laws so congratulations Republicans you did this to yourselves. More liberal outlooks might have worked better in your favor in the guise of political/religious correctness, but that is not the case. Supporters are vowing to fight and morons like her husband, various terrible lawyers and unbelievably Mike Huckabee, as he wants to PRESIDENT, don't seem to understand basic rules of law in this country. All have said that just because five liberals on the Supreme Court make a ruling, doesn't make it a law. Only Congress can make laws they scream at the top of the lungs, completely unaware somehow of that is exactly how a law becomes law. How does Huckabee and several lawyers not understand how laws are made? The Supreme Court rulings become law unless overridden by a Constitutional amendment. That is a fact. And every judge, no matter how religious, will never overturn this case because it would be havoc otherwise. An animal lover would not have to give out hunting licenses, a Quaker could refuse gun permits, a Jew could turn away Muslims, and this goes on forever. Your personal beliefs are just that: personal. They give you no right to push those beliefs on anyone else,no matter how strongly you feel. This was the exact same crap that we heard back in the 50's with inter-racial marriage and desegregation. That didn't hold and neither will this. The funniest thing is that the Westboro Baptist Church isn't even with her, calling her a heathen for getting divorced and committing adultery before becoming born again. The sad part is they are not wrong about that. You don't get a clean slate just because Jesus is your new best friend. That is religious bullshit. You have to be really sorry for it and do something to fix what you have done wrong. Only then will God forgive you. This crap about believing in Jesus is all I need to go heaven shit is getting old and not true. So congratulations Kim Davis and all the idiots comparing her to MLK (really people?) you are indeed douchebag of the week.

LEGALS WOES HIT HARD FOR THE NFL AND KIM DAVIS! TOM BRADY VINDICATED BABY!

I've been waiting to write that headline for months now. Unlike the armchair detectives who through spotty work have unilaterally decided that Brady cheated, even though the facts state there was ZERO evidence that he did anything wrong, he will be playing. Yes he destroyed his phone under suspicious actions but that doesn't make him guilty. There are multiple reasons for this to have happened and some of them do not involve the cheating scandal that really wasn't.

The judge threw the case out stating a lack of evidence against Brady, a witch hunt by Goodell and the NFL, a lack of specifics as to what Brady's punishment would be to the quarterback or his people and not letting the Patriots examine or interrogate some evidence and witnesses, including Tom Wells whose report was sheer crap to anyone who knows how to read a scientific document, which I do. This was cry baby tactics from league owners tired of losing to the Patriots and have resorted to crying "CHEATER!" at the top of their lungs when life doesn't go their way. What are they, three?

Goodell has of course said he will appeal, rather than let this go as it is NEVER going to go his way. The facts are a stubborn thing and the truth here is they have no hard evidence that Brady did anything wrong. Contrary to what some on the message boards are claiming there is NO video evidence of wrong doing (the opposite actually as the game balls were only out of sight for ninety seconds which is not enough time to deflate 11 game balls in that time) and NO Brady texts to anyone that suggest wrong doing. Up until a few weeks ago, they didn't even have specifics on how to measure game ball pressure, which helps ignore the fact the several of the Colts balls that day in question were registered under as well, a fact conveniently ignored.

All of this has made the NFL union much stronger and Goodell's leadership in question. This makes five cases in a row that went against Goodell, hardly a sterling record. He has been all over the place with his too few to too many game suspension against Ray Rice, which he lost on appeal. Add to that the Saints bounty scandal, Adrian Peterson and Greg Hardy and you have got one hell of an explanation ahead of you. You know Kraft is going to be looking to oust him and several other team owners may join him in that fight who have been similarly affected.

This is from SI.com:

The union referred to its “Winning Four” of (1) the Saints’ bounty case, in which Tagliabue, acting as Goodell’s appointed appeal arbitrator, rebuked his predecessor by removing the suspensions of the players involved; (2) the Ray Rice arbitration appeal, in which former judge Barbara Jones found Rice’s testimony more credible than that of league executives (ouch) and lifted Rice’s indefinite suspension, (3) the Adrian Peterson court appeal, where NFLPA-favored Judge David Doty vacated Peterson’s suspension and sent the case back for re-arbitration, and (4) the Greg Hardy arbitration appeal, where Goodell’s handpicked arbitrator, Harold Henderson, reduced a 10-game suspension to four games, simply saying the penalty was “too much.” The NFLPA clearly considered these cases “wins” on their tote board as they prepared for their biggest case of all, involving superstar Tom Brady. And they can now add a fifth win, by far the biggest.
 
The long and the short of this is is that Brady will playing the rest of the season as the appeal process will likely take until next year sometime and all of this will start all over again. Sigh.

Then there is Kim David, the idiotic KY clerk who refused to issue any marriage licenses because "God told her to," is now behind bars indefinitely until she either quits or starts giving into gay people wishes. I am guessing she will be in jail for some time.

What religious people do not seem to understand is that your faith does not give you the right to discriminate. I do not care if you don't like gay marriage. The Bible gives you no cover in this, thus the quote "Judge not lest ye be judged," and boy did she get judged today. This is the same crap from the same people who claimed them being racist to black people was their God given right. Remind me again how that turned out?

How do you think that God's law trumps man? We don't live in Iran or Saudi Arabia. Why are the people who really hate Muslims the most trying to be just like them?

And of course, being an election cycle, Mike Huckabee said he was disgusted by the ruling and that America is now criminalizing Christianity, which in reality it was just ending discriminatory practices. You can hate gay people all you want in your private time. At work, just like the rest of us, you have to do things that are morally wrong sometimes. Welcome to the work force you've demanded Republicans. Enjoy.

The remaining clerks have been told to do their jobs or join the jail with Davis. Let's see how many want to risk their jobs and their families for this outdated idea that gay people are the devil in disguise. I would like to point out for the hundredth time on this site that neither the Ten Commandants or any of Jesus' teachings are anti-gay. It only appears in Leviticus and the entire works of Paul who seemed to have been a raging homophobe. This does not meet the religious test that any smart Catholic should have as for all we can see, God has had no part in any of this nonsense, just like abortion which is mentioned exactly zero times in the Bible and actually refutes their views in many, many passages. It is time to reach the 21st century all ready guys.

The country overwhelmingly supports gay rights and a majority still support abortion as the voters keep shooting down any anti-abortion law they are given in even the reddest of states. When Congress attempts a way around that, the Courts find them unconstitutional. Can we please start focusing on things that really matter, like the economy sputtering to a halt, or the fact that police seem to have lost all legitimacy, which was mostly their own doing, and are now being picked off indiscriminately? How about the calls for a race war, not from Neo-nazi douchebags, but from Black Lives Matter people, leading to arrests even? This country is falling apart and yet Brady is still a cheater and Davis is a hero. Enough!

GOP MUSICAL CHAIRS FOR THE NEXT CNN DEBATE AS SANDERS POPULARITY CONTINUES TO RISE!

What a mess this election is turning out to be. Trump has run amok throughout the Republican landscape as the 147 other candidates struggle for air time. Hillary continues to make a mess of what appears to be yet another non-scandal which should make even the most die-hard Clinton supporter question whether she has the ability to be President as she certainly has a rough time getting rid of the dumbest of scandals.

Email-gate continues to reign supreme but the more I look into it, the dumber it seems. So far not one of these alleged country killing emails seem to have been classified at the time, which begs the question who is classifying material after the fact? Hasn't that horse already left the stable if our idiotic government keeps classifying material even after giving it to the press? They do know these things live forever on line right? They do understand it is not 1950? The stupidly of all of this is mind boggling.

The real scandal here is how piss poorly Hillary is handling this. Joking about it was moronic, making it seem trivial (which it probably is), when a better politician (like her husband) would have spun it his direction by now. Her and her team have somehow made this worse, something Hillary does with regularity. Think her comments on "what difference does it make?" in her Benghazi witch hunt against her or her far worse "dead broke" comment which made her seem out of touch and uber-elitist. Ask Mitt Romney how a couple of ill timed words destroyed his candidacy.

Speaking of Mitt, some in the GOP are looking at him (and Joe Biden for the left) to challenge front runners Trump and Clinton because the establishment hates Trump and wonders if Hillary will self destruct like she did in 2008. I highly doubt that Romney will enter the race but I find it funny that even with a million candidates for GOP, they still all suck hard.

Trump continues to lead in national polls, with Carson and Bush 15 plus points behind. Walker continues to skid, Rubio is still getting no traction and Fiorina may make the big stage now that CNN has wisely altered the data for establishing who will be in the debates. The losers are the exact same people who appeared at the kid table debate with Christie and Paul fighting for relevance now as well, who will barely make the cut this time. People like Santorum, Pataki, Perry and Jindal are going to be watching from home as Gilmore and Graham struggle to reason their continuance as they fall to reach even one percent at this point. Neither is going to last much longer.

The latest Iowa polls have Trump up by 5, his closest race yet with Carson nipping at his heels. After that Cruz, Walker and Fiorina bunch up way behind. Bush comes in sixth and the rest of the pack falls off the map. This should be a warning call for establishment Republicans that the status quo is no longer viable.

In NH, Trump has a 16 point lead with his next closest opponent being John Kasich, followed by Bush, Fiorina and Walker. Carson comes in sixth here suggesting an up and down election cycle for second place. It still looks like Trump may win as no other candidate is getting any consolidation because, let's face facts, they are cannibalizing each other.

It is still way early and who knows what will happen over the coming months. But the facts remain that establishment candidates are getting the heave ho. Sanders continues to do well, leading in NH and only seven points down in one poll in Iowa. However, in South Carolina he is getting walloped down 56 points and behind Biden who hasn't even entered the race proving my point that this particular state may be the dumbest in the Union. Wise up dummies.

The GOP in South Carolina has Trump by over 20 points with Carson and Bush way behind, suggesting strongly the Republicans in this state are far smarter than the average democrat. Trump may be a monster in waiting, but he is a far cry better than the other 16 idiots running behind him, or in Chris Christie's case, oozing. Why are black people so enamored with Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders? Do they not see the irony in picking someone who is guaranteed to keep the status quo? If Black Lives Matter, why are you flushing any chance of reform right out the window? Hillary will change nothing. At that point if it is Hillary versus Trump, he may get my vote just in the off chance he might actually fix something as there is no way she does. That will be one lousy election and if idiots like the ones voting for Hillary in SC put us in that position, expect a civil war when everything comes crashing down around us and Hillary voters will be to blame.
