IOWA CAUCUS 2016: WHO WON, WHO LOST AND WHO QUIT!

What a night. Ted Cruz won, Hillary somehow both won and lost, and a lot of candidates died a painful death at the ballot box. It showed the GOP Caucus was far better run than the Democratic side which seemed less like a voting process and more like a game of Red Rover gone horribly wrong. People stand up and debate each other as people mingle on opposite sides of a room to say who they want to vote for. Viewers on C-Span watching one such prescient vote, noticed huge irregularities in the way the vote was counted, coming in hundreds short than the first count had originally. Once again, the leadership of resident harpy Debbie Wasserman Shultz rears its ugly head again and shows how out of her depth she really is.

The GOP had a clear winner and that winner is NOT Trump which I find hysterical. He spent at least seven hours off of Twitter with no pithy insults for being a LOSER because I doubt his brain could handle the fact he LOST. I just love writing that. Trump lost. Trump lost. Trump LOST. God, that feels good. Unfortunately, an even worse candidate did win and that is the moron that is Ted Cruz. The good news is that Iowa is well known for picking losers and it seems unlikely that his momentum will continue into NH. The bad news, is he may still be competitive in the South and Midwest. Other than Carly Fiorina, Ted Cruz is the worst choice for president we have. He will kill us all with his absolute stupid policies. I also doubt he has any chance of winning, even if gets the nomination. His candidacy will get first time voters out to vote against him in droves, even if that demon Hillary is his opponent.

The big winner from the GOP side was Marco Rubio who came in a close third, inches behind Trump and is now the establishment candidate. This propels him into NH with a full head of steam and may siphon some votes off of Trump who may now be ruing the day he skipped the last debate as that seemed to hurt him far more than either I or most of us thought. Rubio is going to get lots of money and support from the rest of the candidates that are dead men walking.

Two got the hint and quit yesterday. The ballots weren't even done yet when Martin O'Malley announced he was giving up. As he secured less than 1% of the vote, that seemed wise. He waited too long to get in, Bernie Sanders stole his thunder, and he had no money for ads. I see NH ads all the time and I have never seen one ad for him. Literally everyone else had an ad but him in this area. I even saw ads for Pataki before he gave up. With no money, you have no chance in this kind of race. Mike Huckabee also got the hint that it was time to go as he finished near last in the Iowa polls, the state having moved on from his win way back in distant 2008. The funny part is that everyone below Rubio is also done, including Jebra Bush who can look forward to retirement after NH because he is doing even worse there, Carly Fiorina whose support has collapsed in recent months, and Ben Carson who many may think quit weeks ago with his stealth presidential campaign. Expect more to give up after NH, with the few stragglers left to compete after Super Tuesday.

The Sanders campaign can claim victory even if they did indeed lost, which is still open for debate. News media service have reported that 90 sub-prescients still haven't finalized their count yet and one county prescient hasn't given their data at all. This could be 2012 all over again where everyone thought Mitt Romney won until a second count showed Rick Santorum won by 34 votes. Sanders campaign has suggested that we never know the actual results which seems a little shady for the strongest country on the planet. We can put men on the moon but we can't count accurately?

It has also be noted that coin tosses decided six prescients, all of which went Hillary's way which is one in 64 odds. This is not out of the realm of chance but still. And why coin tosses? How about a revote until one side wins? Would rock, paper, scissors be acceptable? High card? This just seems so arbitrary.

Clinton, if she did indeed win, barely did so, which has to be blow considering she was 50 points ahead last year. Sanders can claim victory just by not getting blown out and only losing by a few tenths of a percentage points. Young people should be commended for coming out in droves to vote for Bernie giving me some small hope for the future. Old people on the other hand should just hurry up and die already for voting for this bitch over Sanders. She is the status quo and certain death down the road. Bernie represents hope. What is so hard to understand about that?

NH is a week away and Trump and Sanders look to capture the momentum they need to continue, which polls say is highly likely. Stay tuned for more on how this all turns out.

DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: MICHAEL BLOOMBERG!

I hate billionaires. They are sucking the life from this planet and are stealing from us all blind. We already have one running for president that a lot of us are VERY wary of, now another may enter the race, this time with possibly disastrous consequences. The former mayor of NYC, Micheal Bloomberg, is talking about entering the race should it come down to a Trump versus Sanders race. This is telling for a number of reason that I will get into later and may demonstrate how screwed we really are. Let's see those runner ups in a crowded week.
 
10)Marvin Jacob Lee- This drunk asshole shot a good Samaritan who stopped to help him after getting stranded in the snow. The obviously intoxicated dick got mad when authorities got called and shot the man who stopped to help him several times. He claims to have no recollection of anything that night. People who do this kind of thing make society less civil and courteous, as it makes everyone even less trustful of each other and kindness dies a little more. This fuckwad should be castrated publicly and forced to eat them afterward. He's the worst of the worst. And then I found this next guy.

9)Joel Wright- This 23 year old seminary student from Ohio was arrested this week for trying to go to Mexico to have sex with an infant.YUCK! The fact he was studying to be a priest, and the fact that Googling "seminary student arrested for X" brings up dozens of cases like this over the last ten years, makes this all the more horrifying. Becoming a priest seems to attract a lot of people with devious sexual urges who wrongly believe celibacy is the only way to go. This dick is the worst. THE WORST!

8)Bundy Militia/FBI- Once again, we have a case that seems cut and dried until you look at it a little closer and realize the FBI may be lying to us again. Considering their track record with telling us the truth, cases like this make us question them even more. First off though is the Bundy militia, a group so brainless and apparently inbred, that they failed to understand the first rule of hostage taking is never leave the hostage. These dorks went out on a deserted road with the entire leadership inside with no protection or plan for what to do when the FBI swooped in, which they did. The guy who made the ridiculous dashboard cam was arrested separately after he went home to visit his kids. Hope he enjoyed it because chances are good he won't see them except behind glass the next time. Now all they have is people probably named "Skeeter," and "Cooter," left at the wildlife reserve, with barely a brain cell between them. The FBI on the other hand have the own problems. As body cams STILL are not on every single police office and agent yet, all we have from them is grainy helicopter footage that may or may not show the one militia guy killed going for his gun. The footage does seem to show that cops shot him first, and the motion that they said was him reaching for a gun, was actually him grabbing where he was shot. Pictures of the victim show his gun on the opposite side he was reaching for. Why grab a gun with your less dominant hand? The video is too far away to determine who is right. If only we had the technology to put cameras on people. If only.

7)B.O.B- This rapper may actually be dumber than the militia above. This week this total retard sent out a series of Tweets claiming he had "proof," the Earth was flat. Where to even begin. We have photos from space that show the Earth is round. We have had astronauts from all of the planet circle the Earth with footage to prove it. Back in the 90's, we have the NASA channel which you could watch the Earth spin in live action. This is dumbness to the nth degree and when assholes like this start spouting off provable nonsense, the world dims a little more. This is why we still have conspiracy theories like the Boston Bombing was a hoax, Sandy Hook was a lie, and Obama is a secret Muslim from Kenya. B.O.B also thinks we never landed on the moon even though anyone with a good enough telescope can see the lunar landing module with their own eyes. Can we please stop the stupid train because I and millions of others want off?

6)Ayatollah Khamenei and Iranian President Rouhani- Speaking of people who believe ridiculous nonsense, the Ayatoallah was recently quoted as saying the Holocaust was a hoax, meaning he is no better than some of the arm chair detectives who believe the same crap as a third rate rapper. The Holocaust happened and there is more than enough proof that it did regardless of what your weird cousin Stan thinks or what you read on the Internet. When Iranian President Rouhani visited France recently, France bent over backwards to cover naked statues when they toured the Louvre. But hilariously, the French drew the line in the sand when the Iranians refused to enter a luncheon unless wine was not served. That was too far and the French said "fine, then we don't eat." Do not fuck with a Frenchman and his wine apparently.

5)Germany, Sweden and Migrants- The country is starting to fall apart and not without reason. After Merkel and her cronies went out of their way to cover up constant attacks by foreigners, mostly refugees, and saying more are welcome, fed up people protested by the tens of thousands in front of the capital. Her hold on power has never been more tenuous. Sweden is about to deport 80,000 refugees back home as attacks on migrants escalates due to a rape culture that is anathema to Western practices. But as he we have this idiotic idea that tolerance is applied equally in all cultural norms, which is asinine, problems are arising fast and furious. This will not end well as the rise of fascism is rearing it's ugly head here and abroad and, if history is any indication, will end badly for us all.

4)Paul Allen- Yet another billionaire who feels the rules do not apply to him. Because of this douchebag's megayacht, 80% of the Cayman Island protected coral reef was destroyed. I have swam there on vacation and am glad I did because it no longer exists. Apparently, he dragged his massive anchor for miles, wrecking the area. His fine should be 90% of his income to fix what he destroyed, accident or not. I'll say it again: I HATE BILLIONAIRES!

3)Planned Parenthood Video Makers- This week, a Texas grand jury cleared Planned Parenthood of any wrong doing, the 12th state to do so. What this conclusively proves is that the Republican party's talking point about this was never real, a real blow to Carly Fiorina's cratering numbers. The truly funny part is that not only was Planned Parenthood cleared, the two idiots who made the video in the first place are the ones being arrested for fraud and trying to buy baby parts in the first place. That is hysterical. Hope they get real time for this damaging piece of propaganda.

2)Republicans- They have not had a good week as Donald Trump still masterfully controls the airwaves. I may not like the Donald for a lot of reasons, but I still like him a lot more than any of the other idiots running for president which somehow, someway would be worse. And this week, they showed it. Jebra Bush is dying on the vine (thank you SNL for that fitting insult) and is blowing through more money with less effect than anyone else. Sarah Palin showed her special brand of lunacy when she endorsed Donald, leading to a string of nonsensical word salad that was barely changed when Tina Fey impersonated her recently, just like 2008. Ted Cruz sent out water to families affected by the Flint, Michigan water crisis but only to supporters who were also anti-abortion, so I am guessing one case at most. Carly Fiorina hijacked a bus load of first graders during a field trip to the local botanical garden to attend a anti-abortion rally. Bet the parents loved that. Ben Carson has apparently fallen asleep and no one can wake him up as he has disappeared from sight especially during the debates. It's coming closer to reality that Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee and he will lose. That is unless....

1)Michael Bloomberg- Because having one billionaire in the Presidential race is not enough, the former mayor of NYC is talking about a third party run. Polls suggest that he will draw heavily from democratic voters due to his idiotic no gun stance, a third rail topic, and finish with about ten to twelve percent of the vote. In every scenario, whether it be Bernie or Hillary, a Bloomberg run becomes another Ralph Nader and may give the GOP run of the White House in a close election. And what if Trump somehow loses? Could this give us President Cruz? I. Will. Vomit. Blood. Polls suggest strongly he has no chance of winning so why enter? Because either the powers that be want him to or his ego is too big to realize the damage he will do by entering. I know which one my money is on and it is the later as people are really, really stupid lately, no matter their stance in life.  The fact that he will not enter the race if Hillary gets the nod show how controlled our politics are. She represents the status quo, which the elites want. Trump and Sanders represent change for better or worse, which is why Trump is so appealing to so many, as is Sanders. Vote for Sanders in the Iowa primary tomorrow regardless of threats from this midget.  He is our last and best hope. So congratulations Michael Bloomberg, if you run or even if you don't, you are indeed douchebag of the week.

CONSPIRACY THEORIES GALORE HIT THE INTERNET. WHICH ONES AREN'T FAKE?

One of the final gasps of any society is the breakdown in trust that occurs when mankind's evil side overtakes his better judgement. Tell me that isn't happening after spending ninety seconds on the Internet. In just the past few days, several wildly inaccurate conspiracy theories and dubious science scenarios have been plastered everywhere. Whether it be rapper B.O.B., who said he had "proof" the world was flat, or Iran's Ayatollah calling the Holocaust a fake, to people who still think the president was born in Kenya and is a secret Muslim. When does respecting someone's belief system cross from needed tolerance to ridicule? The way it has to be is everyone is entitled to their own belief system but no one is allowed to force their nonsense on anyone who doesn't want it. And if your belief system allows prejudice, hatred or absolute backward thinking, the rest of us get to treat you with complete disdain. No one should be made fun of if they are religious. At the same time, believing the world is only 6000 years old is retarded and it has to stop.

This week, rapper B.O.B sent out a bunch of unfortunate texts which I can only hope is actually a brilliant hoax into seeing how gullible white people are. But the most likely explanation is B.O.B is borderline mentally challenged for actually thinking the world is flat. That is actually an insult to the mentally challenged as even they know the Earth is round, so I apologize in advance for that. He also thinks the moon landing was faked. Where to even begin with this utter fool? You can't see the curvature of the Earth because you aren't high enough but pictures from the Space Station show a curved Earth as well as centuries of history which proves this. He does know we can circumnavigate the globe right? The moon landing obviously happened because you can see the lunar module remnants with a powerful enough telescope today, not to mention moon rocks which is physical proof we went there. This is what the the truly stupid are infecting us with, provable nonsense that is making others out there dumber.

Then there is the Ayatollah who today said he thinks the Holocaust was fake, a common theme in conspiracy sites everywhere. They are poorly researched, anthropologically unsound, and have an obvious anti-Semitic reason for existence. The Holocaust happened. I have talked personally with numerous survivors of said tragedy and they all tell the same story, a sure fire sign of being true. Individual eyewitness testimony is worthless, but dozens telling the exact same story is another matter. The Germans kept meticulous records about everything including the death camps and their locations. Original blueprints to places like Auschwitz and Dachau exist online that can be seen today. The same can be said for the record books containing the names of most of the Jews who died in the ovens. The only part of the story that may be untrue is the number of deaths that may be over-inflated from six million down to 1.5 million, but either way that is way too many innocent Jews to have been killed. It happened. We know it happened. Stop convincing people that it didn't. Get a new hobby or something like The I Hate Jews club where at least you will be honest with yourself about your real purpose in life. It is "religious" leaders that this dick that is going to get us all killed.

The list goes on and on. Obama is gay/Muslim/Kenyan? Nope. The world is 6000 years old? Ugh. Vaccines cause autism? No proof. The Boston Bombing was a false flag and Tsarnaev is actually innocent? Not in a million years. Adam Lanza was a hoax and none of the children even existed in a school that wasn't open at the time? Beyond stupid. Yet each and every one of these lives on on the internet and beyond. And it is getting out of hand. People don't know what to believe anymore so when real news happens, it gets lost in the din of all this crap instead.

The big story was the death of a Bundy militia member in a "shootout" with police as they idiotically put all their leadership in one place, unprotected, on a desolate street out on the public eye away from the building they captured weeks ago. These guys are morons. Eyewitness testimony has suggested that the victim, once seen interviewed under a blue tarp on TV, was shot in the back and unarmed. Going for a Mike Brown defense, the FBI countered with their version which said he came at them guns blazing and they have the video proof for that. If true, this goes away quick and the Bundy militia finds themselves in real trouble. If the video does NOT exist, this will continue to be a conspiracy theory, just like Mike Brown's death has, regardless of the fact that proof says he was charging the officer at the time of his death. But people still say "hands up, don't shoot." The same will happen here unless the FBI does have conclusive proof that what they said happened did happen. Trust between the public and cops is gone. That is a telling problem.

Then there is the fact that the Iowa caucuses are being administrated by Microsoft, a huge Hillary Clinton supporter. This has not been lost on Bernie Sanders who said he will independently have the ballots counted as he doesn't trust the result not to be stolen. I have written about many cases in the past where ballot issues appear to have been intentionally done. Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004
have enough irregularities to suggest manipulation happened, both of which gave the presidency to Bush. His brother Jeb was governor of Florida at the time and Diebold, a huge Bush supporter, operated the voting machines in Ohio which may have been the reason exit polls were so far off. Three Cuyahoga election workers were arrested for tampering with ballots in 2004. Funny how that never made the news. Here is a list below from the Cuyahoga's own website that shows that in every county, more people voted than actually lived in town. Kerry lost by 13,000 votes in Ohio. This list says otherwise:

Bay Village - 13,710 registered voters / 18,663 ballots cast
Beachwood - 9,943 registered voters / 13,939 ballots cast
Bedford - 9,942 registered voters / 14,465 ballots cast
Bedford Heights - 8,142 registered voters / 13,512 ballots cast
Brooklyn - 8,016 registered voters / 12,303 ballots cast
Brooklyn Heights - 1,144 registered voters / 1,869 ballots cast
Chagrin Falls Village - 3,557 registered voters / 4,860 ballots cast
Cuyahoga Heights - 570 registered voters / 1,382 ballots cast
Fairview Park - 13,342 registered voters / 18,472 ballots cast
Highland Hills Village - 760 registered voters / 8,822 ballots cast
Independence - 5,735 registered voters / 6,226 ballots cast
Mayfield Village - 2,764 registered voters / 3,145 ballots cast
Middleburg Heights - 12,173 registered voters / 14,854 ballots cast
Moreland Hills Village - 2,990 registered voters / 4,616 ballots cast
North Olmstead - 25,794 registered voters / 25,887 ballots cast
Olmstead Falls - 6,538 registered voters / 7,328 ballots cast
Pepper Pike - 5,131 registered voters / 6,479 ballots cast
Rocky River - 16,600 registered voters / 20,070 ballots cast
Solon (WD6) - 2,292 registered voters / 4,300 ballots cast
South Euclid - 16,902 registered voters / 16,917 ballots cast
Strongsville (WD3) - 7,806 registered voters / 12,108 ballots cast
University Heights - 10,072 registered voters / 11,982 ballots cast
Valley View Village - 1,787 registered voters / 3,409 ballots cast
Warrensville Heights - 10,562 registered voters / 15,039 ballots cast
Woodmere Village - 558 registered voters / 8,854 ballots cast
Bedford (CSD) - 22,777 registered voters / 27,856 ballots cast
Independence (LSD) - 5,735 registered voters / 6,226 ballots cast
Orange (CSD) - 11,640 registered voters / 22,931 ballots cast
Warrensville (CSD) - 12,218 registered voters / 15,822 ballots cast

The county has said this was software glitch. Or is it possible these are the real numbers that we are not supposed to see? It would explain why exit polls were so far off in 2004. Exit polls, if done correctly, have been shown to be accurate within one percent. There was no reason to find fault with the study, so the only explanation is fraud. For this to have happened in multiple states has been estimated at 250 million to one for it be chance. You have a better chance of winning Lotto.

Lastly we have the Planned Parenthood videos that have now not only been proven totally fake, but charges have been leveled against the people who made them. In Texas. That is hysterical. How many on the right have been crowing about these videos for weeks now? No one has been nut shot as hard as Carly Fiorina got this week when all that hoopla about seeing the video turned out to be pure propaganda and explains why she is polling dead last right now. Abortion is a personal choice and no one else's issue. End of story.

Conspiracy theories continue to gain traction and the time has come to start making fun of people whose grasp on reality is moronic. Let's start with all the candidates running for President not named Bernie Sanders. Feel the Bern people because sanity is much needed in the White House.

THE BUNDY MILITIA, DONALD TRUMP AND OTHERS MAKING A STAND FOR BETTER OR WORSE!

People are showing signs that they have had it with the status quo. Hillary's numbers are starting to fall dramatically with black people whose support has eroded twenty percent over the last few weeks. If she loses them, she loses the primaries. This woman represents everything that will NOT present change. Sanders, and even Trump to a certain extent, represent saying to the world enough is enough.
 
Iowa is less than a week away and I cannot stress this fact people: YOU NEED TO GET OUT AND VOTE IN THE PRIMARIES FOR BERNIE SANDERS! I have watched some of the dumbest videos with shills trying to convince you democratic socialism doesn't work. The only problem with that is that it is completely untenable with reality as the best run countries on the planet are all democratic socialistic societies with booming economies, stability and populations happy with their way of life. Yeah, who wants that? The opposite fact is that the economic reality the US and some of Europe have been experimenting with have been dismal failures, leading to crashing economies as all the wealth is accumulating at the top, leading to our possible end. Hillary will change nothing more than a band aids worth, just like Obama did, that she keeps praising even though he is still captaining a sinking ship. We need something better or different because the path we are right now, led by corporatists on both sides of the aisle, will end badly for most of us.

Trump is winning the GOP side because of this. Republicans have wised up to the fact that the establishment has been lying to them for decades and only a non politician like Trump or a lunatic like Cruz can save them. Cruz is getting the votes from people who should never, ever vote because they must be borderline mentally challenged or epically stupid to support such a human troll. Trump, for all his faults (and he has lots), I get why people like him and why it is not so far fetched he may be our next president. I think if that happens, he will be more Hitler and FDR, but Hillary in the office doesn't give me the warm fuzzies either. A recent poll said 19% would rather pound sand than vote for her. Trump gets similiar numbers meaning if it comes down to these two, it could be a record low turnout. If Bloomberg idiotically gets into the race, some polls show he could win against either Hillary or Sanders. That is frightening if we have another Ralph Nader moment that gives four, maybe even eight, or President Trump. To be honest, I doubt the country would last that long with him in charge.

One of the smarter things he has done is skip the next debate. Much like Ronald Reagan did before Iowa in 1980, Trump will not be attending, most likely that is. That air of doubt is brilliant because it makes him the center of attention until Thursday and sucks the wind out of everyone else. If he doesn't show, will people watch? If he does show up, which I think is unlikely, all eyes are on him. He has no reason to show up as he has a comfortable lead and looks to be a lock for the nomination. The GOP is going to have a fit over this. If it does come down to Trump versus Hillary, She will raise more money from dark sources than anyone else as corporate America will shower her with dough to destroy Trump which is the most likely scenario. If comes down to Bernie versus Trump, which is completely up to you readers, Bernie may not need a lot of money if his surge continues which it will as his message is going to resonate with many, including Republicans likely to defect. But this is only one theory and who knows how it plays. Conspiracy theory thought suggests the vote will be rigged and we will somehow get Hillary versus Rubio. It is possible.

One of the more credible conspiracy theories out there is that the powers that rule us are poisoning the people through water, food, vaccines, etc. to thin out the population. The reason this is not so far fetched is that any scientist worth his name knows there are too many people on the planet. As mankind will never willingly give up having kids the eventual outcome is a massive disease wiping us out, starvation, and/or mass poverty. If the rich have decided they don't need us, which they don't, and will have access to possibly immortality within ten years due to incredible research I have seen involving stopping, even reversing the aging process, a lot of us are not only expendable but a threat. A clever way to decimate the population, especially poorer ones, is to make them drink foul water and substandard food, ones that may even begin to have chemicals that render a lot of us sterile. It is not so science fiction to believe that those who have stolen trillions from us don't have a plan how to keep that money forever and without a lot of us around.

Flint, Michigan is just such a place. Not only did they lie about the water quality for two years, knowing full well it was unsafe, they have done nothing to fix the problem since it was discovered. What if this was intentional? Local militia groups have shown up to give out water which is EXACTLY what these people should be doing instead of hijacking a remote government building in a vain attempt to recreate Waco, which our government yesterday was only too happy to oblige in.

Ammon Bundy and several others were arrested, one killed in a shootout with police, after they left the refuge area for a meeting in another town. At least the government waited this time until they were off property and grabbed them, unlike Waco where the same thing could have been done with far less bloodshed. The idiot who posted a dashboard cam was arrested in Arizona after going home to visit his family. The stupidity of this group is breathtaking. They do know once they left the property, they were eventually going to be arrested right? When you take a hostage, even if it's a building, you don't get a time out.

Expect the remaining idiots up there to give up soon. When did this country forget how to protest because it crosses all races, sexes and ages. Maybe the water is making us stupid because there is no other explanation for all of this. Let's hope Iowa proves me wrong.

DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: RICK SNYDER!

Two weeks in a row for top spot as the beleaguered governor of Michigan continues to dig his own grave and expose the utter hypocrisy, and even racism, of the modern day political system. Mind you most of the blame goes to the deregulation pushing of the Republican party mentality but the EPA and Democratic run cities like Detroit aren't much better. Let's see those runner ups as I have a Patriots game to watch.

10)Madonna- This woman has not had a good few past months. Last month she got into an unwise court battle with her 15 year old son over visitation rights. Not the ex-husband, her son! You can only guess how that turned out after a judge ruled he had to return from England and he said bite me. Then she took it out on her fans by showing up late for recent concerts in the south, one of which fans said she was visibly drunk at. And she wasn't ten or fifteen minutes late but two and half hours. If I had kids at home, which most of her fans do, I'd be pissed and I would expect more than some left before it even started. Maybe it's time for the material girl to pack it up and go home. For whatever sexist reason, as bad as it is watching someone like Mick Jagger parade around stage, it's worse for older women. I recently saw Debbie Harry perform, and while her voice still sounded amazing, watching a woman old enough to be my grandmother belt our rock hits seemed wrong and disturbing. After a certain age for any performer, male or female, it's time to quit. Madonna, this may be your clue.

9)13 Hours- There was a time I really liked Michael Bay movies. Bad Boys and Armageddon, while not masterpieces by any means, had a certain charm to them and the directing in them was solid. Since those days, he has gone on to direct disaster porn/toy merchandising crap like Transformers and not funny drek like Pain and Gain. His latest 13 Hours may be his worst yet. Not anti-Hillary enough for the right wing loon crowd and too political for the left, this film tanked so hard Fox kept trying to sell it all week on their "news" network. If there was ever a movie I would not want to see it's anything about BENGHAZI. The words "WAY too soon" and "Don't care" come to mind for this nonsense.

8)Ta-Nehisi Coates-  Some black people finally did what so many groups do and over-reached to such a point that sane black people rebelled. After the Oscar debacle (more on that later), it has become apparent that too many black people are unwisely supporting Hillary Clinton, including this noted author and idiot who seems incapable of understanding the ramification of his actions. First off, any black man saying he wants repartitions for slavery, as this dick has, has to first live as a slave for up to one year to fully appreciate the sacrifice his ancestors made for him to live in one of the greatest countries in the world. If you never lives as a slave, you get nothing. Your reward is you don't live in Africa which is mostly a cesspool. You are free to leave whenever you want. But even worse, when this ass brought up the subject to Bernie Sanders, he rightfully dismissed it as never going to happen, unless you want to see how bad race relations are going to get. He, like most Millennials, had a hissy fit over it, causing rapper, and my new hero, Killer Mike, to tell him to shut the fuck up and get with the program that Sanders is the best man for the black community and he is not wrong. Black people better wake up that fact or expect no change in the status quo, or even worse, of they vote for Hillary.

7)Snowstorm Jonas- The weather dumped an inch of ice two days before a monster storm in the DC area, snarling traffic for hours. Then a blizzard hit dumping over two feet of snow, and way more up here in MA as we went from a coating to half a foot, crippling the region. NYC saw record snowfall as did the Philadelphia area. And just like clockwork, all the global warming deniers came out of the woodwork screaming about how it's fraud and forgetting that it is winter. Morons.

6)Des Moines Register- This week the Iowa paper picked Hillary and Rubio as their respective picks for president. If they tried, they couldn't have picked more establishment candidates. If I was in the area, I would have cancelled my subscription because this proves they either have no idea what they are doing or are corporatism shills. Either way, this paper should be used to wrap fish and train puppies because it certainly isn't readable anymore.

5)Anjali Ramkissoon- Another person caught in video assaulting an Uber driver while drunk, this one was slightly different as the perp was young, wicked hot and, this I can't believe this, a doctor. The video went viral when she tried to steal someone else's ride, and then she went ballastic and attacked the driver and threw all his stuff from the car into the street. She was fired from her job after this as who wants to go see a doctor who is either a loon or an alcoholic. What is wrong with people today?

4)Debbie Wasserman Schultz- This corrupt bitch is getting it from all sides, with serious deliberation to her stepping down. Considering what a piss poor job she has done so far, that should be a no brainer. It may not make any difference because she is facing her first ever primary opponent, a local democrat who has had with her. I don't know hos popular she still is in her area, but here's hoping she gets thrown out on her ear, Cantor style. It came out recently she is accepting huge amounts of money from Big Pharma to keep weed illegal, a big policy of hers. Hmm, I wonder why. Someone take thus cow out of office and keep her out. She is every bit as bad as any Republican out there.

3)Sarah Palin- Your son gets arrested for beating his girlfriend and you claim he has PTSD and Obama did it. Classy. Unfortunately, facts matter and it turns out everything you said is a lie. He served under Bush not Obama, who also started said war back in 2003, served only a year and never saw combat. I actually know some people who served in the same area at the same time and guess what? None of them have PTSD. As a matter of fact, unlike today's clusterfuck where soldiers are exposed to daily bombing threats, things back then where a lot more peaceful. The longer we stayed, the more resentment built, thus the reason to get the hell out of there. But idiots like Palin can't see that. Then she gave a nonsensical speech supporting Trump which was spectacularly parodied on SNL last night. If you haven't seen it, Google it. It's hysterical. She isn't.

2)Oscar racism- Talk about opening a can of worms. Black people threw a fit over not getting any nominations and started talking boycott and other nonsense. Well, like every other company out there, the Academy bowed down to public pressure and is set to make changes in the rules that will make no one happy, mostly because they won't work. Black people are a minority group and to suggest equal footing made white people lose their minds because affirmative action for the Oscars is going to fail. Adding extra spaces to Best Actor or Best Picture is just going to guarantee that even lesser known white people are going to be nominated. Getting rid of lifetime membership will decimate older voters voting rights, and oddly enough, complainers like Jada Pinkett Smith, who would also lose her status due to lack of nominated roles. If you really want to change the Oscars you have to have more people working behind the scenes, have a theater cutoff number such as 500 screen minimums, and convince black film makes to stop making just films about black people. Mexican directors don't make just films about Mexicans and look how many Oscars they are winning. This is making white people mental and not without cause as being called a racist when you certainly aren't, is racist. Let that one sink in.

1)Rick Snyder- This ass has tried to make it seem like he had no idea that black people were being poisoned in Flint Michigan all week. The blame game caused a local leader and an EPA guy to lose their jobs but this goes much higher than that and Snyder's recently released emails haven't helped. They demonstrate that he did know, didn't care and should be brought up on charges for negligent homicide. The fact this went on for two years as his administration did everything they could to deny the water was unsafe is unbelievable. This is why deregulation and smaller government is a terrible idea as it will lead to this happening everywhere. Even worse, it already has. According to some researchers, vast swaths of land have terrible water, contaminated with heavy metals and other problems. Obama gets his share of the blame for this for lowering water standard allowing for this kind of garbage in our drinkable water. Republicans however are leading the charge in making us very unsafe everywhere. Almost everywhere in the North East that isn't MA has terrible water, especially almost all of NY and PA, some of which may be because of fracking. The point is a lot of us are drinking water that is harmful to us. We riot over the fact that black people are being shut out of the Oscars, but black people being poisoned in Flint doesn't? We need to wake up to what is important and demand that this ass running Michigan into the ground is arrested for murder. So congratulations Rick Snyder you are indeed the murdering douchebag of the week.

UNMITTIGATED STUPIDITY AND THE RETURN OF SARAH PALIN!

If there was ever a reason to question conservatives, no one need look any further than the black hole of intelligence that is Sarah Palin. Much to the obvious detriment of Donald Trump, Sarah Palin threw her support behind the front runner and then proceeded to give a twenty minute speech that was kind of in English, totally non-nonsensical, and a complete laugh riot. Let's take a look at some of the highlights shall we?
 
 “Thank you so much. It’s so great to be here in Iowa. We’re here just thawing out. Todd and I and a couple of our friends here from Alaska, lending our support for the next president of our great United States of America, Donald J. Trump."

Translation: We just got back from bailing out my douchebag son and babysitting my whore daughter's second bastard kid (possibly third) but here we are.

"Mr Trump, you’re right, look back there in the press box. Heads are spinning, media heads are spinning. This is going to be so much fun" 

Translation: Liberal media bad.

My head is spinning, even if I am not part of the "liberal media" which really doesn't exist anymore than free market economics does. She is right about one thing though. This IS going to be fun.

“Are you ready to make America great again? We all have a part in this. We all have a responsibility. Looking around at all of you, you hardworking Iowa families. You farm families, and teachers, and teamsters, and cops, and cooks. You rockin’ rollers. And holy rollers! All of you who work so hard. You full-time moms. You with the hands that rock the cradle. You all make the world go round, and now our cause is one."

Translation: Can I hear a hallelujah? I can name several job positions. Go me.

Nope, not over the retching sound that is American intellect. This is called pandering and she is terrible at it.

"When asked why I would jump into a primary – kind of stirring it up a little bit maybe – and choose one over some friends who are running and I’ve endorsed a couple others in their races before they decided to run for president, I was told left and right, ‘you are going to get so clobbered in the press. You are just going to get beat up, and chewed up, and spit out.’ You know, I’m thinking, ‘and?’ You know, like you guys haven’t tried to do that every day since that night in ’08, when I was on stage nominated for VP, and I got to say, ‘yeah, I’ll go, send me, you betcha. I’ll serve."

Translation:I am willing to stick my head in a bear trap again because I have no long term memory.

Apparently her associates are smarter than her as she did get beat up in the press for saying things untrue, garbled or both. You couldn't watch a newscast or daily comedy program that didn't hype this up to the T. And, as her support is mostly Tea Party idiots, which is NOT the Trump demographic (angry, uneducated white people who have a disdain for any politics until recently), her support here hurts more than helps, as several interviewed people at the rally were asked, many who looked as if they would fit right in with the militia groups who took over the wildlife preserve, said they hated her.

"And if you love your freedom, thank a vet. Thank a vet, and know that the United States military deserves a commander-in-chief that loves our country passionately, and will never apologize for this country. A new commander-in-chief who will never leave our men behind."

Translation: I have no recollection of any President previous to Obama which means he was responsible for every bad decision in the history of the country. 

More nonsense about Obama's nonexistent "apology tour," that only occurred on right wing fantasy land. And apparently, leave no man behind does not apply to people like Bergdahl, which the right screamed bloody murder about (although I did agree with them on this and that dick should have been left to rot), but you can't yell about no man left behind, except when it suits you.

"I’m in it, because just last week, we’re watching our sailors suffer and be humiliated on a world stage at the hands of Iranian captors in violation of international law, because a weak-kneed, capitulator-in-chief has decided America will lead from behind. And he, who would negotiate deals, kind of with the skills of a community organizer maybe organizing a neighborhood tea, well, he decided that, ‘No, America would apologize as part of the deal,’ as the enemy sends a message to the rest of the world that they capture and we kowtow, and we apologize, and then, we bend over and say, ‘Thank you, enemy."

Translation: We should never apologize for anything even if we are wrong and diplomacy is for pussies.

Depending on which way the wind blows, our president is either a lead from behind weakling or a dangerous tyrant bent on destroying the Constitution. Republicans have shown a intense desire to end the Earth with dangerous talk of nuking Iran back to the Stone Age for the most minor infraction, which is the worst trait for any potential president to have. Unfortunately, all of the GOP is in this boat, slamming Obama for daring to try diplomacy first. According to them, he's a loser for not destroying the planet.

"So troops, hang in there, because help’s on the way because he, better than anyone, isn’t he known for being able to command, fire!"

Translation: Trump is a member of the X-Men. His name is Firestarter and he is capable of burning down large parts of the country, maybe even the world.

Apparently, she thinks Trump is some sort of superhero capable of controlling fire I guess. Or, more likely, her English sucks.

"Well, and then, funny, ha ha, not funny, but now, what they’re doing is wailing, ‘well, Trump and his, uh, uh, uh, Trumpeters, they’re not conservative enough. Tell me, is this conservative? GOP majorities handing over a blank check to fund Obamacare and Planned Parenthood and illegal immigration that competes for your jobs, and turning safety nets into hammocks, and all these new Democrat voters that are going to be coming on over border as we keep the borders open, and bequeathing our children millions in new debt, and refusing to fight back for our solvency, and our sovereignty, even though that’s why we elected them and sent them as a majority to DC. No! If they’re not willing to do that, then how are they to tell us that we’re not conservative enough in order to be able to make these changes in America that we know need to be…Now they’re concerned about this ideological purity? Give me a break! Who are they to say that?"

Translation: ?

This is technically English but not really. I guess the painkillers, Xanax and eight martinis are really starting to kick in because these sentences are just sad. I think she is going after people who say Trump isn't conservative enough and they would be right. He's not as conservative as you think. There is an interview with him decades ago where he said if he ever ran for president he would do so on the Republican side because "those people are really stupid and easily led."If, God forbid, he ever got into office, his policies wouldn't even by near Ronald Regan let alone Ted Cruz.

 "How ’bout the rest of us? Right wingin’, bitter clingin’, proud clingers of our guns, our God, and our religions, and our constitution" 
 
Translation: Guns, God and Gravy.

Bitter is right and saying God and guns is all you care about explains why places like Flint Michigan have no clean drinking water. If you live there, praying is best before you even wash your hands in that toxic sludge. And stop talking about the Constitution like it is a perfect document. It isn't and it is time for some of it to change. Just not any of the changes these dipshits want to enact.

"Well, then, we’re talking about our very existence, so no, we’re not going to chill. In fact it’s time to drill, baby, drill down, and hold these folks accountable."

Translation: We need cheaper oil because I want to drink it.

Nevermind the fact that oil is cheaper than milk, let's drill for more crap we don't need. And who is it you want held accountable? Perhaps Obama for sending your kid to Iraq, where he came down with PTSD and is now beating his girlfriend, for which he was arrested this week? Oh that's right, it was Obama's predecessor, Bush who not only started this war but whom Track Palin served under. So how is Obama responsible for something after your son already came home after one tour?

"Where they’re fightin’ each other and yellin’ ‘Allah Akbar’ calling jihad on each other’s heads for ever and ever. Like I’ve said before, let them duke it out and let Allah sort it out."


Translation: The Middle East is near New England right?

This is the GOP philosophy in a nutshell. Nuance they don't have. Nevermind the fact that because we have no desire to get off of oil, as well as a right wing push to demonize all green energy, a Middle East war would decimate our economy. Real smart.

“So it can be an unbeatable team with fighters there in the House and the Senate. Yeah, our leader is a little bit different. He’s a multi-billionaire. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. But, it’s amazing, he is not elitist at all. Oh, I just hope you guys get to know him more and more as a person, and a family man. What he’s been able to accomplish, with his um, it’s kind of this quiet generosity. Yeah, maybe his largess kind of, I don’t know, some would say gets in the way of that quiet generosity, and, uh, his compassion, but if you know him as a person and you’ll get to know him more and more, you’ll have even more respect. Not just for his record of success, and the good intentions for America, but who he is as a person. He’s not an elitist. And yes, as a multi-billionaire, we still root him on, because he roots us on."

Translation: Conservative billionaires good. Liberal billionaires bad.

Here's where she really start to go off the rails. How do you say a multi-billionaire is just like the average guy in one breath and then call someone like George Soros the devil for the exact same thing? Billionaires are elitist. That is the very definition of what they are. ALL billionaires are suspect in this notion and to pick and choose which ones you like and which you don't is just hypocritical.

"And he has, he’s spent his life with the workin’ man. And he tells us Joe six packs, he said, “You know, I’ve worked very, very hard. And I’ve succeeded. Hugely I’ve succeeded,” he says. And he says, “I want you to succeed too.” And that is refreshing, because he, as he builds things, he builds big things, things that touch the sky, big infrastructure that puts other people to work. He has spent his life looking up and respecting the hard-hats and the steel-toed boots and the work ethic that you all have within you"

Translation: Trump is just like you, except he isn't.

The only working people Trump knows are his servants and anyone who screws up a building project. Otherwise, they would be invisible to him. Trump is not building his own buildings. Illegal labor is.

“Now, finally friends, I want you to try to picture this, it’s a nice thing to picture. Exactly one year from tomorrow, former President Barack Obama. He packs up the teleprompters and the selfie-sticks, and the Greek columns, and all that hopey, changey stuff and he heads on back to Chicago, where I’m sure he can find some community there to organize again. There, he can finally look up, President Obama will be able to look up, and there, over his head, he’ll be able to see that shining, towering, Trump tower. Yes, Barack, he built that, and that says a lot. Iowa, you say a lot, being here tonight, supporting the right man who will allow you to make America great again. God bless you! God bless the United States of America and our next president of the United States, Donald J. Trump!"

Translation: Please vote this man into office so Jesus can finally return and the Apocalypse will begin.

If Trump gets into office, or any Republican for that matter, the world will end in a smouldering heap as none of these idiots are fit to be in there. I may hate Hillary, and would expect her economic policies to ultimately doom us all, there is no way she gets us in a nuclear war for stupid reasons. Cruz or Trump might do that the first day in office.

All in all, her support may do more harm than good down the road. It may convince some in Iowa to vote Trump. It may make others look at another candidate or stay home completely.

A CONTRAST IN CANDIDATES WITH THE REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC DEBATES! WHO LOST AND WHO WON!

These past few days saw both the Republican and Democratic debates happen with wildly different results. One was a joke with terrible candidates, the worst moderators yet, but on a night when some might have been paying attention, while the other saw a front runner sink herself before a national audience playing to a televised audience of no one. For the latter they might as well as have put it on Christmas Eve at 3 in the morning for all the attention it was going to get. How bad were these two debates? I didn't even watch either because one was just sad and the other was on after an NFL playoff game (Fuck you very much Pittsburgh for blowing the game in the final minutes) on a holiday weekend. A test pattern would get more viewers.

So let's start with the idiot parade known as the GOP debate. Moderated by Neil Cavuto and some bimbo too stupid to know better, they asked the most inane questions and had zero follow up no matter how dumb the response was. Here's a hypothetical example:

CAVUTO: Senator Cruz, how much do you hate Obama?

CRUZ: With the heat of a thousand suns. That Muslim, Kenyan bastard has been a disaster to this country and is leading the fight to kill every first born in this country.

CAVUTO: Good answer.

That was the sum of the entire debate. No matter how stupid someone said something, and there were some doozies, the moderators failed to even attempt a clarification, making anyone who watched that debate dumber than when they started. How is that good for anyone?

Cruz is a boob. Trump is a fool. And the rest of the numnuts are barley able to breath on their own without someone reminding them too. Can someone please tell Carly Fiorina it's all over and no one likes her? Or that Ben Carson has a less chance of winning than me? Why stay in when there is zero chance of winning?

From what I read of the aftermath, Trump and Cruz did the best and everyone else should just pack it up. Bush is sinking hard, Cristie and Kasich are coming off more blowhardish than Trump, as if that was possible, and establishment characters like Rubio are barley hanging on. This is a bad year for establishment politicians.

Just ask Hillary how this week turned out. Her numbers are dwindling faster than 2008 when Obama lapped her. Now Bernie is looking to do the same. Her idiot daughter, the epitome of white, rich privilege, lied about Sanders health care plan so badly that even Republicans came to his defense. He wisely snubbed that in the butt by releasing his plan how to pay for it, by raising taxes a little on the poor, some on the middle class, and a lot the richer you got. I love it, mainly because it would actually work. It would drive down prices, make health care affordable somewhere between 40 and 80 dollars a month, which compared to my 500 a month sounds much better, and eliminate deductibles and co-pays. Only an idiot would look at this and scream SOCIALISM at it. It blunted Hillary's attack this week on how it would be paid for because he spelled it out and 170 economists wrote that they supported it as well. According to them, it would save this country trillions in lost health care spending.

Even the most ardent Hillary supporter saw that she lost this debate hands down. Other than going after Bernie on guns, none of which adds up to a hill on beans, she was on the defensive on every other subject. She couldn't defend herself as a protector against banks when she has taken in millions from them. The same for Big Pharma, Big Agro, and every other major company out there which is backing her. Meanwhile, Bernie has taken zero dollars from anyone not a little person and raised almost as much money as her. That is telling.

Unlike the GOP debate, moderator Lester Holt actually did a good job asking effective questions with even better follow up ones. Too bad no one was watching who didn't have to.

The point of this is that the GOP is going to nominate one of two morons and, on the other side, thankfully, Hillary's star is starting to tarnish. I can only pray that people get out to vote in the primaries and help make Bernie Sanders the nominee because if I see it comes down to a Trump/Clinton contest, a may have to figure a way off the planet because it won't be here much longer.
