Let's Laugh Before Monday: Watch DC Cab!

In the midst of a horrible week, I have been watching a lot of movies from the 70's. 

If you haven't felt the stress of last week, I'm impressed.

First some music, then some humor. 

All from the late 70's - early 80's:

Now, some music:

Now, DC Cab! See if you can recognize these stars before they broke through.....

Next post is serious, laugh now and I hope your week is better!

The Fire Rises while the Zombies Walk: Margaret Prescod's Hyporcrisy and Charles Pierce's Butcher's Bill

"Some [people] just want to watch the world burn!"
 -- The Dark Knight

I live here in the City of Angels.

Once upon a time, I grew up among the dilapidated towers of New York City and I saw DC began it's rise after the Republicans returned to Congress after a break of 40 years (without whining about the process).

Also, a few years back, I dated a nice, smart, pretty girl name Toni (I talked to her before I wrote this piece, so only first names.  My Mom is seeing her in August, and I'm seeing her next weekend.  How do I know her? She used to be my neighbor -- so do not give me crap about my ex) who went to Pepperdine University, has a few cats, and happens to be African American.

I will date anyone who is beautiful. As a writer, I see beautiful Muses all over Los Angeles. As a Politico, I look for a Muse to join me in my slow journey to World Domination (from the Southland, of course).

The scene is set.

Action!


A few days ago, a trial over what happened one night in Sanford, Florida ended with the Spanish guy getting off for killing an African American teenager.  Both were Democrats.

The laughter ended for many people in the paragraph above.  For others, it gave a chance to build a butcher's bill of grievances and deaths.

I. Charles Pierce's Zombies: The paternalism from a Rich White Guy of Massachusetts

Liberals all. One of Whom is Pierce's boss.

Here is Charlie Pierce's hate filled rant on the day of the "Not Guilty," verdict:

"Some night very soon, if he so chooses, George Zimmerman can load his piece, tuck it into the back of his pants, climb into his SUV, and drive around Sanford, Florida looking for assholes and fucking punks who are walking through neighborhoods where he, George Zimmerman, defender of law and order, doesn't think they belong. He can drive around Sanford, Florida and check out anyone who is dressed in such a manner as might frighten the average citizen who has been fed a daily diet of "Scary Black Kids" by their local news and by their favorite radio personalities, and who is dressed in such a manner as might seem inappropriate to their surroundings as determined by George Zimmerman, crimebuster. He can drive around Sanford, Florida until he spots an asshole or a fucking punk and then he can get out of his SUV, his piece tucked into the back of his pants, and he can stalk the asshole or the fucking punk, the one who is in the wrong neighborhood, or who is dressed inappropriately, at least according to George Zimmerman, protector of peace. If the asshole, or the fucking punk, turns around and objects to being stalked -- or, worse, if the asshole, or the fucking punk, decides physically to confront the person stalking him -- then George Zimmerman can whip out the piece from the back of his pants and shoot the asshole, or the fucking punk, dead right there on the spot. This can happen tonight. That is now possible. Hunting licenses are now available and it's open season on assholes, fucking punks, and kids who wear hoodies at night in neighborhoods where they do not belong, at least according to George Zimmerman, defender of law and order, crimebuster, and protector of the peace, because that is what American society has told George Zimmerman, and all the rest of us, is the just outcome of what happened on one dark and rainy night in February of 2012,"

There is a farm in Worchester, Massachusetts and/or a Private Home in Eastern Massachusetts where Pierce lives. It is probably surrounded by "Keep Out," signs. Does he have his own gun as country men are wont to do?  Does Pierce invite the poor from Boston to the takings of his home?

No, because protection of property and life is not for the peons according to Pierce's Democratic party.

Ever hear of context?
What was going on in his neighborhood within Sanford, Florida that Zimmerman felt the need to protect his neighbors?
-----


By the summer of 2011, Twin Lakes was experiencing a rash of burglaries and break-ins. Previously a family-friendly, first-time homeowner community, it was devastated by the recession that hit the Florida housing market, and transient renters began to occupy some of the 263 town houses in the complex. Vandalism and occasional drug activity were reported, and home values plunged. One resident who bought his home in 2006 for $250,000 said it was worth $80,000 today.

At least eight burglaries were reported within Twin Lakes in the 14 months prior to the Trayvon Martin shooting, according to the Sanford Police Department. Yet in a series of interviews, Twin Lakes residents said dozens of reports of attempted break-ins and would-be burglars casing homes had created an atmosphere of growing fear in the neighborhood.

In several of the incidents, witnesses identified the suspects to police as young black men. Twin Lakes is about 50 percent white, with an African-American and Hispanic population of about 20 percent each, roughly similar to the surrounding city of Sanford, according to U.S. Census data.
...


But it was the August incursion into the home of Olivia Bertalan that really troubled the neighborhood, particularly Zimmerman. Shellie was home most days, taking online courses towards certification as a registered nurse.

On August 3, Bertalan was at home with her infant son while her husband, Michael, was at work. She watched from a downstairs window, she said, as two black men repeatedly rang her doorbell and then entered through a sliding door at the back of the house. She ran upstairs, locked herself inside the boy's bedroom, and called a police dispatcher, whispering frantically.

"I said, 'What am I supposed to do? I hear them coming up the stairs!'" she told Reuters. Bertalan tried to coo her crying child into silence and armed herself with a pair of rusty scissors.

Police arrived just as the burglars - who had been trying to disconnect the couple's television - fled out a back door. Shellie Zimmerman saw a black male teen running through her backyard and reported it to police.

After police left Bertalan, George Zimmerman arrived at the front door in a shirt and tie, she said. He gave her his contact numbers on an index card and invited her to visit his wife if she ever felt unsafe. He returned later and gave her a stronger lock to bolster the sliding door that had been forced open.
---Prelude to a Shooting by Reuters; 
-------------

Charles Pierce cares nothing about the rise in Crime at Twin Lakes, Mrs. Bertalan or her infant son.  

His commentators cannot abide ideas from anyone else, and like sheep, they all say how much they love Pierce.  Even the Zombies in Land of the Dead have more Independence of thought then any of Pierce's intelligentsia.



History Lesson (or how Pierce sees HIMSELF!):

White Man's Burden by Rudyard Kipling
Take up the White Man's burden--
Send forth the best ye breed--
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives' need;
To wait in heavy harness,
On fluttered folk and wild--
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half-devil and half-child.

Take up the White Man's burden--
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain
To seek another's profit,
And work another's gain....

And this is a man who wants to be the savior of African Americans?

To Pierce, crime (especially minority on minority) is fine as long as it is NIMBY from where he writes.

And Pierce is proud of the burning fires.

II. Margaret Prescod, Lover of Dictators, Fans the Flames from North Hollywood

I listen to KPFK because if I want to know what the Left thinks, I go there. (Note to Bernard Duncan: Every member of KPFK has no clue about the differences within the GOP, I suggest your crew start speaking to actual Republicans before placing judgement calls on them...especially Ian Masters).


When I listen to Margaret Prescod, I know I am listening to someone who has no understanding of Power, the American system of Government or the logic of opposition to her causes. 
  
Power (and at every level of American Government, even for the opposition) is about TRADE.  You want help for Haiti? You want support for programs by Republicans? What are you offering in return? Because President Obama offers no "face saving" opportunities (or trade), there is no reason for any Republican to support him.  



When she spends time cheering the death of PM Thatcher and crying over Hugo Chavez; Prescod cannot lecture to any American who votes Republican because of her chosen alliances.

One of my favorite guests on her show (technically, it should be HIS show since he is on so much) is Dr. Gerald Horne. I disagree on many of his stances, but he doesn't praise dictators and if given a chance would actually try to understand Republicans too. 

Prescod takes a rumor and runs with it.  Sometimes out into the streets to go against the Institutions.  What happens when you push against something? Others will push back.

So, for Dr. Horne and Ms. Prescod, here is a few questions for your show on Friday.  
Be brave, discuss it.  I'll even discuss it with you as well if you are open minded:

Since 1965 when LBJ (with the help of many Congressional Republicans), created the voting rights act and the Great Society
And then immediately thereafter came the societal fires of 1968,

1) How has voting for Democrats helped the Black community when there is still High Poverty and High Crime compared to other Democratic Areas or even safer Republican districts?


2) By stereotyping (or even straw-manning) Republican figures, ideas and people, how do you expect them to vote your way? 
2a) When a Republican official does something in your direction, can they expect votes in return?  To quote an old movie Zardoz, "....if there is nothing, then I have nothing to give," 

3)  If you can't build a coalition with Republicans in the United States, what would building coalitions with other countries do? Would it win Americans to your cause?


And Ms. Prescod, stop dancing on graves and hoping the fire rises.  Karma responds badly to those things.

III. Pray for Rain

"The Fire Rises," -- Bane



When I spoke to Toni earlier this week about the Zimmerman trial, she agreed with me on this statement:


"The moment the President got involved, it was over. Zimmerman would win,"  


Now, Mr. Pierce, Ms. Prescod and Dr. Horne are shaking their collective heads.  Here is why.....


President Obama is the Power of the state. Mr. Zimmerman was one individual.  
In the myth of America, the little guy always wins. If you don't believe me, you forget how much support Disney has. 


2013 is not 1965.

 

1965 Disk Drive

2013: Disk Drive? What's that?

 
The South did have the Busing battles in the 70's (I'm looking at you Pierce);
And poverty still reigns in Black communities while continually voting Democrat (and holding new Republicans to impossible standards).  Violence still reigns.  


And Dr. Horne should note that Charlie Pierce is not offering one iota of platform to Ms. Prescod, I am willing to talk about her in a Los Angeles based blog -- who has your best interests at heart? 
Hint: Not the Liberal from Massachusetts.

 Please stop lighting fires in my hometown -- Riots means the Goths will sack Rome soon.  Guess what? I am a Goth.  Keep that in mind.


Now, my question:   Why do Liberals like to fan the flames of Rioting to the detriments of others?

All You Need to Know about the #Filibuster Game: #Borking and The Bloody Indiana 8th

 

[HERE THERE BE SPOILERS -- SEE THIS AWARD WINNING MOVIE]

In the Crying Game, Fergus (Stephen Rea) goes from an IRA Terrorist to someone in love with a London nightclub singer.  The spoiler occurs during the sex scene, Dil is not who she appears to be (played by Jaye Davidson).

Senator Reid forgot his background as a Terrorist in the Minority against President Bush fils nominees and is ready to blow up the Senate to get his way.  There are some surprises Reid will not expect.  

The Democrats, without any principles, are not standing on any today. Senator Reid of 2013, meet Senator Reid of 2005!

This war over Filibustering Judicial (and other) nominees did not begin overnight.  It began, with a flirtation and a dance between Fergus and Dil.  In the House, there was the "Bloody 8th"  What happened in the "Bloody 8th?"

Read the history of the 99th Congress right in the Valley!   

Or refresh your memories of the 80's with this article:

May 2, 1985|United Press International

WASHINGTON — The House, with Democrats standing nearly rock solid, gave a bitterly contested Indiana seat to Democrat Frank McCloskey Wednesday, prompting Republicans to stalk out of the chamber in protest.
...

 The vote to seat McCloskey was 236 to 190, with 10 Democrats joining the Republican minority to vote against the Democrat. Republican leader Robert Michel of Illinois immediately asked to adjourn the House.

...
A House-run recount, the first in 24 years, said incumbent McCloskey beat challenger McIntyre by four votes in November`s election -- 116,645 to 116,641 -- and the House voted 229-200 Tuesday to reject a call for a special election.

On a 246-183 vote, the House spurned a Republican appeal Wednesday to order an election task force to count 32 absentee ballots that the Democratically controlled review panel said were illegal.

State officials twice said McIntyre was the winner in the election to represent the 8th House District in southern Indiana, but the closeness of the vote led the House to set up the task force that conducted the final recount.

While we TARDIS'd back to the 80's:

After that musical interlude, we are now in the Senate.  Do you remember the name Robert Bork?

Can you say 'Borking?"

And then what happened to Justice Thomas?

And with Senator Kennedy's speech, new rules and lines were drawn.  But we still did not see what was under Dil's dress yet.  The Democrats had one more play before they showed their true colors:

After Justice Thomas, Republicans still played by the Comity rules in the Senate.  The Democrats felt free to attack any or all nominees of a Republican Administration.

And as we take the slow path (due to a Weeping Angel, because we must weep at how the Democrats stand on no principles destroying people along the way), the Clinton Administration impeachment was not about impeaching, but History repeating (as it always does and will in the confines of the boundaries of DC)

During the President Bush fils Administration, Senator Reid and others blocked many Judicial nominations. Thus, the Filibuster wars began

The fact that Judge Janice Brown and Judge Miguel Estrada are not on the bench today is why the GOP upped the ante after 09 (and Senator Obama own actions stopping Judaical nominations)

There is a simple way to stop this crisis:

Re-nominate every Bush fils Judicial nominee and pass them through the floor of the Senate.  No one will want to oppose President Obama's nominees then.....

If not, Senator Reid will suffer from the Crying Game.

My Question: Why do Democrats forget their own recent history?

3,143 Counties, 3 Large States, and 64 Squares: Reform, Restructure and Ressurection

To:  Mrs. Dhillon, Vice Chair, CRP; Mr. Steel, National Committeeeman and Mr. Priebus, RNC Chair;  
CC: Chairman Vafiades, RPLAC; Glenn Reynolds, Instapundit; Robert McCain, The Other McCain, Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit, Gary Aminoff, and Lilian Cavalieri, iPrecinct CEO

BCC: Karv and Todd (My mentors from the Hill)

RE: Reform, Restructure and Resurrection

The Stakes We Play For Every Election

As someone who studies History, I wonder why Our Republican Establishment ignores it;
As someone who has been in and out of Politics since I was 15, I see Our Republican Establishment have forgot  strategies to win, not just in Presidential years, but every year.

And Our Republican Establishment forgets we are in a Two Front War, not just against the Democrats, but their Media Sympathizers.

There are Three Large States to get to 270: 
The GOP only owns TX (38 EV + 36 Congressional Seats);

The Democrats own Two of the Three:
New York (29 EV + 27 Congressional Seats); and 
California (55 EV + 53 Congressional Seats).

Can anyone play this game?  

As of June 26th, 2013, The Democrats are going for a triple play and are working on getting a "Blue Texas,"  Thus, we have the GOP's ONLY big state on defense.

Do you want to change the odds? 
Does the RNC, NRSC and NRCC to have a great ROI come Election Time? Every time?

I can play this game, so follow me.

1: Red Kings vs. Blue Knights: Policy Making And Optics

We Need to Fight the Barbarians (The Media) or Rome is Lost

Sometimes, we have to silence the Dragon.

The GOP has many different philosophies and regions. 

When the RNC came to Hollywood and Highland and then fell back when the Social Conservatives threatened to withhold funding, you just lost 55 EV's. 

Again.

Now, as we gear up for 2014, the Social Conservatives are leading Abortion Battles around the Country.  Yay for them, but it is killing any chance of opening the Franchise.  

Again. 

If you are fighting a Two Front War, you don't invade Russia at the end of Fall.  These Abortion Battles play into the Media's hands just as they turned two Moderate POTUS candidates (McCain and Romney) into wild eyed SOCIAL Conservatives.  

The RINO's and Moderates cannot make friends in the MSM, they must make friends among the "Local Yokels" and the Right Bloggers-Fox-Talk Radio Allies.  The lesson's of McCain/Romney should be heard. It should be crystal clear that we cannot trust the Washington/New York Media Establishment.  

If you still do, your name is Michael Murphy or David Frum.

Right now, the Social Conservatives, RINO's and Moderates all need to focus on winning MORE states first before eating the rest of the Pie.

And to win Policy battles, State and National figures must play another dimension of Chess:

How Every Policy Maker in the GOP Should Play. D's + Media v. GOP

How will the Media spin it?

2. 64 Squares, Bishops, Knights and Rooks: The Practical Tools we Already Have

Out of Three Big States, we can defend one (TX);

One is far beyond our calling despite the joke their State Democratic Party has become. Why? 

The NYGOP could not stop Senator Clinton.  A big state and no actual candidates to run against Goliath? In the largest Media Market in the world, why can't the NYGOP write a Narrative to win?

Because they have none.

If the NYGOP wants to get in the game, they need to tell the rest of the country which cities (and counties) are winnable and why.  Until then, the RNC, NRSC and the NRCC should back the THIRD Big State:

California.

You don't need to fight everywhere. 

 Fund the Los Angeles County Republican Party; Fund the 17 GOP Assembly District Committees and Fund every candidate in every city in the Southland. 

Los Angeles flips, so does California. And that is now TWO Large States.  

What tools do we have to win?

First, every Election Committee should use iPrecinct -- thus the day to day groundwork will get done. Speak to my friend Lillian if you want to win.  (And this goes to every State and County Party too! Use this tool!)

Second, Bloggers can battle the Narrative used by the Media and the Democrats. If you wish to fight an Election Campaign or Policy Battle, I have the Blogger scars (as do most of my Blogger friends) to prove it.; And 

Third: STOP WITH HIRING CONSULTANTS WHO DON'T KNOW THE GROUND. HIRE LOCAL YOKELS INSTEAD.

Now, to conclude:

3. Winning the Endgame

There is no excuse why our Executive Members are not building a short, medium, and long term strategy plans.  The best plan ahead but allow room for improvisation. They should carry a Chess board everywhere they fly. Think Blade Runner.

We are fighting a Two Front War and what has the RNC done to help the troops on the 'Net or on the Ground?

If we refuse to fight and win the Two Front War, shut down our offices on First Street, SE and call ourselves "Whigs,"  

I expect better from our Chairs and Establishment Republicans.
I expect better from the Social Conservatives in other states.

Also, we cannot have Reagan's Eleventh Commandment broken by Consultants. They must sign a Loyalty Oath that lasts 20 years for each campaign (again, Frum and Murphy still rankle).

Governor Palin should not have been Media Raped by Andrew Sullivan and others. Where was Romney?

If the Establishment Republicans fire on our own people, we in the States and in the Right Blogosphere should have every Right to take over all Four Floors of the RNC/NRCC until attitudes change.

Do not doubt us.  


If you want to win in 2014 and beyond, we are fighting here in Los Angeles: Join us. 

My question:  How can the GOP win in the Two Front War?

What #Benghazi Begat: Post Egypt Coup Edition

Here is why we on the Right don't trust the Partisans of the Left and their friends in National Media.

There have only been 8 Ambassadorial Deaths in America's 237 years; None died under fire during the Administrations of  President Reagan to President George W. Bush. The first time an Ambassador died under fire since 1979 was under President Obama.

(h/t Diplopundit Blog -- But THERE ARE NO PICTURES OF SECRETARY OF STATE CLINTON AT THE AFSA MEMORIAL WALL)

 Ambassador Stephens died a horrible death while President Obama was campaigning in Las Vegas.  During that time, the NSA and other Federal organizations were used against Tea Party ground level groups and  other Political Opponents. 

President Obama is like Bilbo Baggins in the Hobbit; Adventuring but not seeing the end effects of his actions.

What Benghazi Birthed Domestically

After Benghazi, the Boston Bombers had no problems pulling of the first half of their plan.

Why?

Re-read the last sentence of the second paragraph:

During that time, the NSA and other Federal organizations were used against Tea Party ground level groups and  other Political Opponents.

This was 2012, but if the Democratic Partisans knew these tools were being used, after protesting hard against them in the last Administration (and voting against using such tools under President Nixon), then we on the Right have to come to grips with this:

Democrats will never clean their own House EVER;

They rely on the Tarkin Doctrine for their Political lives. 

For all the feinting couches today, all Democrats had to do, if they stood on principle, was to Primary President Obama.

No, two Democratic handmaidens in the Media are perfect examples why Democrats are not to be trusted with foreign policy.

Taylor Marsh is a linebacker for Former Secretary of State's Hillary Clinton Presidential plans. If there is misogyny against Republican Electeds at the Moderate Voice or by others, she is silent. Ambassador Stevens had to die so SoS Clinton can win in 2016 according to Taylor Marsh (Read between the lines, that's her "dog whistle")..

Charlie Pierce is simple: He is a guy who would support Whitey Bulger to keep Democrats in Power in MA; and honest people like DaTechGuy away from MA politics, like the early WASP's did with Irishmen..  Benghazi is a joke to him.  

Just like the way Bilbo "won," the riddle game against Gollum, President Obama "won" the 2012 election.

Now we see how our foreign policy has fallen backwards in time.

The Fire: How Benghazi Birthed Smaug in the Arab World and Beyond

When a sub-contractor of the NSA exposes information about the US Government spying on its own people and runs to Hong Kong, the Democrats have lost the High Ground;

When President Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood strengthen their hold onto power and backed by President Obama (who was quiet over the Iranian protesters in his First Term); And none of his foreign policy team can be found when the Army takes over;

And of course with the sub-contracter running to Putin's Russia. Any deal that Putin makes to benefit the US means Obama owes Putin. That's how Politics works from your Dogcatcher to Foreign Policy.

These are not actions of competent people, no matter where their degrees are from. I take Wm. Buckley's term about who should run this country and the elites of the Democrats have failed.

Here is how Bilbo angered Smaug, just like President Obama angered the world:

Does President Obama know how to ride a dragon?

My question: At what point can we say the Democrats have failed to win Peace Overseas?

July 2013 Tip Jar and a Gothy Muse (Comic book Style)

I dropped away from the Valley because I had a small adventure.

Yes, this is LA, we occasionally get some of those.  Instead of living an action-adventure or a spy movie, I got to live out a Slipstream film.  Not recommended for the feint of heart or closed minded.

Now then, I am belatedly asking for help with this month for the Tip Jar.

I have been working off-stage to come up with ideas here in Los Angeles (and by default, give the GOP, California. These ideas will be given memo form this week).  Also, I will be working on Blog posts for the RNC, CAGOP and RPLAC.  No one is immune (then again, neither am I) from criticism.

So, any help on the Tip Jar is always welcome.

This month's Gothy Muse is Vampirella; The comic book version of Vampira.

Thank Frank Franzetta  for the original concept art.

And please hit the Tip Jar!

Thanks!

Independence Day 2013

I have returned to the Valley on quiet feet.

Fireworks were scarce in the (All Democratic) run Los Angeles.  Fun killers, I say.

With the revelations that President Obama manipulated Federal and Intelligence Agencies to go against political opponents, (with NO outcry before 2012 by his partisans) not dangerous radicals around the world, it remains a quiet July 4th.


First some words by AJ Langguth from his book Patriots (I suggest that if you want to learn the History of America's birth, start here.). I read the book every July 4th.

"When members of the [Continental] Congress came to  Jefferson's stirring conclusion, a majority thought it should include one last appeal to the power even greater then George III.....'And for support of this Declaration, with the firm reliance on divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our duty and our sacred honor'

"On July 4, 1776, independence was declared in language worthy of it"
-- Patriots, AJ Langguth, pg. 362

Here is the beginning of that great document:

IN CONGRESS, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America,

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government....

Now, enjoy some music and fireworks:

Fireworks!
