Last Commented Politics Blogs (944)

The challenge is to turn the colour yellow to red.

Wonder if anyone will recognize any of my attempts at caricature (I shall be adding one per comment) and as I am a bit dof I would of course welcome better caricatures.

This is equal-opportunity offensiveness, so you can leave the hate at home.








Naturally the poking starts close to home. My political awareness is very limited (like my skill at satire) so it won't be many comments unless others join in.

I looked up what exactly is a blog and I was surprised the definition actually left these C&P scholars in the clear. You can just leave a link, or C&P the text of that link, and get away with calling it your blog. Perhaps that is why some have managed to post over a 1000 blogs. Prolific arent he/she/T?

But... have they ever posted anything original? Something that actually shows they think instead of link? I liken it to being kind of like a voter. Every
moron gets a chance to have a small part in the process without ever having to perform any task other then pushing buttons. Nobrainers.

OK....what got me thinking of this was a C&P blog(?) that was posted and the OP proceeded to question the comments he was getting as not up to the standards for a reply on an article he/she/or T (?) didnt write. Can you do that, plagiarize, and then censor comments you don't like because they have ideas you dont have.
Knuckleheads!

If I wrote an article, I should have the right to make sure some moron doesn't decide to adopt it as his own and defend it with his own spin/perspectives. It's my intellectual property and I dont want some blowhard buffoon misinterpreting it because he/she/T lacks the mental capacity to put his position in his own words. He/she/T lacks the capacity for original thought so they camelback on someone else's intellectual property.

Its copyright.....not copy wrong.

The Obama administration worked in its final weeks in office to undermine the incoming Trump White House and continues to do so, according to multiple sources both in and out of the White House.

Behind the effort, these sources say, are senior government officials who previously worked under President Obama and remain loyal to his agenda. These individuals leak negative information about the Trump White House and its senior staff to a network of former Obama administration officials who then plant this information in key media outlets including the Washington Post and New York Times.

but for those who took my comments personally, Art, Bekard - to be 60 or 70 or 80 does not make one automatically senile and I apologise, it never occurred to me that would be taken that way. My father was still practicing medicine at 80 and getting referrals from other specialists in his field because he was like a living reference library, he'd seen it ALL. Some people can be senile at 60 and some remain sharp to 90 plus. I said senile and decrepit with respect to one individual, not intending the implication it was because of his age. I don't think he has changed in essentials in years and years. Given the chance 20 years ago he was just as likely to call national emergencies about non-emergencies before shambling away for a weekend's relaxing golf, for example. JMO.



But also JMO, I would say that a job like leading a country calls for a younger person. There's a fair amount of pressure involved, no? I joke about wanting to rule the world but it would be a pretty scary place if I did because an awful lot of people would get their heads lopped off, who has the patience for their shit at this age?

Mic, wrong, the candidate I like is way way down in the listings - Pete Buttigieg. He hasn't a hope of getting in unfortunately, one giant strike against him apart from his age: "The 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Indiana, launched his presidential bid in late January. Buttigieg — pronounced BOOT-edge-edge — has an implausible resume: He’s a Rhodes Scholar who was elected mayor of this industrial Midwest city while still in his twenties. He’s led an economic revival over seven years in office, during which time he also served a seven-month tour with the Navy in Afghanistan. Buttigieg is openly gay and live-streamed his wedding on YouTube."

But you should hear him talk. Especially by comparison to the old farts of both parties. No shouting, no ranting, no platitudes. He's informed, sensible, intelligent AND clued-up. Not many interviews because he obviously hasn't a hope but he really comes across well on the two I watched. Sadly, being gay, he would naturally instantly be accused of wanting to introduce forced homosexuality in schools

No comments, that was all I wanted to say but I didn't care to return to that blog.

Update: I expected this blog to be read a couple of times, no comments, and to drop out of sight while still topical. So, since vague pointy-finger blogs are annoying, the troll in question has a name not unlike GoldenShower (gold, diamonds, whatever) was Caucasian, now a Pacific Islander, was living in New York, now on an island, was Christian then switched to Islamic (so far - he hasn't been with us long, who knows how many times he can reinvent himself, watch that space) and the blog was 'creepy Joe Biden'. I objected to it, got called on a couple of my comments, and responded here.

Oh and GoldenShower said he didn't want Biden near his daughter, so he may well be adding ex-wives and children to his profile at some point but at the time of the blog didn't, um, have a daughter.

Trit trot.

The court dismissal of racist, scammer, gay blade JS's case, with the judge sealing all records, surprised even me. Telling, however, was the reaction of a number of folks/groups. Mayor Emmanuel wasn't pleased----this from a guy who provides dangerous criminal illegal aliens succor, via sanctuary city status. The cops were ticked off, having believed with most folks that he did it, and having invested much time and treasure on the case. But the reactions of the media/democrats were telling, and no surprise. Can you say JS is a member of multiple protected classes, oh ye astute CS minions? With few exceptions, all are doubling down on their invalidated poor journalism standards of PC driven behaviors. The rare one is apologizing for the craft's actions, heavy on the print, VERY heavy, predictably trying variously to blame our brilliant POTUS. Sort of like the reportage on the recently debunked witch hunts, two years long in tooth. In the eyes of the body politic, the alt left media is sinking in approval ratings ever closer to those of Congress. All makes 2020 look great for the grounded. And the country. And the West.

We are staring reality in the face on what it will mean to leave Europe without a deal.
Is this what you voted for? It certainly was not what anyone expected, so do you have the right to change your mind now that the facts are known. We seem to be hurtling towards a second vote to dictate what UK must do. This question is for those who voted to leave and not a question of should we remain inside EU.
Simply put, is this the chaos you anticipated?

Sorry, but I just couldn't help myself...

In a blurb that was posted for a short time on the Drudge Report, The Hill posted its apologies to President Trump:

The Hill spoke on behalf of the U.S. intelligence community, as well as the FBI and itself. The news outlet even went so far as to use the phrase "false information" in a highlighted link that brought the reader to this site:

The Hill went on for several paragraphs in its "Mea Culpa"s, and then went on to ask what more needed to be done. All in all, a fascinating article, which needs to be read by ALL who held suspicions against the current administration.

It needs to be mentioned that said article was authored by Sharyl Attkisson, a contributor to The Hill. The news outlet then added...


Kinda makes you think, doesn't it????

From a recent BBS news story...,
"Lindley Johnson, a planetary defence officer at NASA, told BBC News a fireball this big is only expected about two or three times every 100 years."
How many here knew Earth has a functional planetary defence corps?
The recruiting offers are of course Secret (as are the salaries and perks). NASA is an arm of the United States government. As no other nation has formed a planetary defense force any 'first contacts' will be negotiated by the US State Dept and only the US will decide if the other lesser inferior nations will have 'any need to know' of current or future Treaties and agreements with civilizations not of this Earth.
Some may view this as an attempt to bypass the Vatican if Satan's emissaries attempt contact. This may be true and of course we have no need to know if an arrangement already exists.

For the cost of implementing the Green New Deal, the federal government could buy every American a brand new Ferrari luxury sports car, according to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

“For the comparatively cheap price of just $66 trillion I’m told the government could buy every American a Ferrari,” McConnell said on the Senate floor Wednesday.

McConnell is basing this cost comparison against a recent report by the right-leaning American Action Forum (AAF) that estimated the cost of the Green New Deal to be as high as $93 trillion over ten years, or $653,000 per household.

“What a great idea. But of course, everyone would have to get their drive in before Democrats ban the internal combustion engine,” McConnell quipped about buying every American a Ferrari.

McConnell joined other Republican lawmakers who took to the Senate floor to criticize the Green New Deal, which calls for radically transforming the U.S. economy to fight global warming and dramatically expand welfare and “social justice” programs.

“93 trillion is more than every dollar our federal government has spent in its entire history to date,” McConnell said, referring the AAF report.

“It’s more than the combined annual GDP of every nation on Earth,” McConnell said. “This amount of money could rebuild the entire interstate highway system every year, just for the heck of it, for 250 years with a little left over.”

McConnell said the Senate would be voting on the Green New Deal in the coming weeks, sparking outrage from Democrats who called the vote a political stunt. Many Democratic 2020 presidential candidates support the Green New Deal resolution introduced by New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey.

Despite this, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is looking for ways to shield Democrats from having to vote on the Green New Deal. Schumer plans an “offensive” to make climate change a top issue in the 2020 , turning it against Republicans.

“This is the first time Democrats have decided to go on offense on climate change,” Schumer told The Times in an interview published Monday.

Schumer also plans on holding weekly floor speeches on climate change, and pressing Republicans to vote on an alternative climate resolution that calls on Congress to immediately act on global warming — as opposed to making specific demands, like the Green New Deal.

However, Republicans will make sure the Green New Deal will continue to be brought up through the 2020 elections, tying Democrats to policies they see as “socialist.”

“Cars, lawnmowers, commercial airliners, everything must go,” McConnell said.

The press used to report the news to keep us informed....their mandate. But now their purpose is to keep us misinformed. Sounds simple doesn't it, but when we are constantly being barraged by the media through the internet, on TV and in the dwindling news organizations that even provide a paper feed, it's hard to ignore todays issues....(unless you are a radical lefty and drink only from the poisoned well.)But so many Americans are pressed (no pun) to stay afloat that the last issue they have time to involve themselves in is politics. Many see it as a no win, frustrating pursuit of needless anxiety. And from that pool we draw our voters. My point being, when the press has an agenda, a mission, if you will, they have abdicated their mandate, their responsibility, to inform the public. They no longer deserve the honor of being referred to as the fourth estate, a co-equal branch of government, a source of information or help. Reagan said it, (sic) government is not the solution, it's the problem and the media isn't helping posing as a wolf in sheep's clothing.


And that is where we are right now...being lied to by a corrupted institution that no longer serves the public interest, no longer deserves that recognition as a subsidiary of government, no longer deserves our trust. The only way we can completely rid ourselves of their influence, and their viral impact, is to remain independent, resourceful and objective. In other words, use your God given talent to use your own brain and not their xeroxed one..... It may be the only option you have left to make an intelligent decision or an intelligent vote.
