The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Convention of Hypocrisy and Psychopathic Behavior

« on: April 28, 2016, 01:10:22 PM »

Was reading my go to news source, media matters, when I learned my party of science and civil rights was holding a convention with a carbon footprint the size of Shaquille O'Neal's shoe at Niketown. Millions of tons of carbon emissions will be spewed into the atmosphere as a result of the insane amount of fossil fuel burned to power this charade and deliver its paeticipants via plane and automobile from all over the country.

Furthermore, there is no requirement that staff be diverse, and they aren't even paying these people a living wage.

All liberals must violently protest to this convention until the entire thing is powered by Green energy, including transportation to and from, and places of lodging and dining, and until strict staffing diversity quotas are established and adhered to, and staff members paid a living wage.

Pretty amazing stories coming out of this.

So far, only some pretty awful dictators and other government officials have been implicated in the money laundering (i.e., tax evasion and criminal) scheme.  Allegedly, however, 17 fortune 500 companies were also involved in the criminal entity vehicle.  Will be interesting to see what U.S. government and private individuals were involved. Hopefully some hypocrites are outed.

EDITORIALSBernie Sanders, The Bum Who Wants Your Money

An angry radical and agitator who never accomplished much of anything. UPI/Newscom

1/26/2016 5:50 PM EST

2016: Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said Monday his parents would never have thought their son would end up in the Senate and running for president. No kidding. He was a ne’er-do-well into his late 30s.

“It’s certainly something that I don’t think they ever believed would’ve happened,” the unabashed socialist remarked during CNN’s Democratic town hall forum, as polls show him taking the lead in Iowa and New Hampshire.

"" style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;">

He explained his family couldn’t imagine his “success,” because “my brother and I and Mom and Dad grew up in a three-and-a-half-room rent-controlled apartment in Brooklyn, and we never had a whole lot of money.”

It wasn’t as bad as he says. His family managed to send him to the University of Chicago. Despite a prestigious degree, however, Sanders failed to earn a living, even as an adult. It took him 40 years to collect his first steady paycheck — and it was a government check.

"" style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; vertical-align: bottom;">

“I never had any money my entire life,” Sanders told Vermont public TV in 1985, after settling into his first real job as mayor of Burlington.

Sanders spent most of his life as an angry radical and agitator who never accomplished much of anything. And yet now he thinks he deserves the power to run your life and your finances — “We will raise taxes;” he confirmed Monday, “yes, we will.”

One of his first jobs was registering people for food stamps, and it was all downhill from there.

Sanders took his first bride to live in a maple sugar shack with a dirt floor, and she soon left him. Penniless, he went on unemployment. Then he had a child out of wedlock. Desperate, he tried carpentry but could barely sink a nail. “He was a shi**y carpenter,” a friend told Politico Magazine. “His carpentry was not going to support him, and didn’t.”

Then he tried his hand freelancing for leftist rags, writing about “masturbation and rape” and other crudities for $50 a story. He drove around in a rusted-out, Bondo-covered VW bug with no working windshield wipers. Friends said he was “always poor” and his “electricity was turned off a lot.” They described him as a slob who kept a messy apartment — and this is what his friends had to say about him.

The only thing he was good at was talking … non-stop … about socialism and how the rich were ripping everybody off. “The whole quality of life in America is based on greed,” the bitter layabout said. “I believe in the redistribution of wealth in this nation.”

So he tried politics, starting his own socialist party. Four times he ran for Vermont public office, and four times he lost — badly. He never attracted more than single-digit support — even in the People’s Republic of Vermont. In his 1971 bid for U.S. Senate, the local press said the 30-year-old “Sanders describes himself as a carpenter who has worked with ‘disturbed children.’ ” In other words, a real winner.

He finally wormed his way into the Senate in 2006, where he still ranks as one of the poorest members of Congress. Save for a municipal pension, Sanders lists no assets in his name. All the assets provided in his financial disclosure form are his second wife’s. He does, however, have as much as $65,000 in credit-card debt.

Sure, Sanders may not be a hypocrite, but this is nothing to brag about. His worthless background contrasts sharply with the successful careers of other “outsiders” in the race for the White House, including a billionaire developer, a world-renowned neurosurgeon and a Fortune 500 CEO.

The choice in this election is shaping up to be a very clear one. It will likely boil down to a battle between those who create and produce wealth, and those who take it and redistribute it.

So, clearly this entire presidential election is an abortion.

I have wonder what:

2) the democrats plan b is when hillary is indicted
3) what plan b is for the country if nobody can grab 270 electoral votes
4) what plan b is if Cap'n dipshit decides he wants to tack another term onto his current run of 6.5 lame duck years in office

Are we do broken that it would be best to just plan b this bitch and distribute the assets?

We're like 3-7 right now. Which is shitty. But, despite #goetard the historically good big 12 conf schedule was front loaded.

We need 5 of these to get to 8 wins. I believe 8 wins gets us into the dance with our schedule. Can we do it? I think do.

BU - W

That's 7 likely wins, a 10-8 record, #6 seed in the tourney, kenpom top 25 team.

Lol, it's far fetched, but this more likely than the 6 win #goEtard consensus

Blaming ill-advised policy on [highly regulated] exorbitant profits [of companies this idiot owns in his 401k

The lone health insurance cooperative to make money last year on the Affordable Care Act's public insurance exchanges is now losing millions and cutting off individual enrollment for 2016.
 
Maine's Community Health Options lost more than $17 million in the first nine months of this year, after making $10.9 million in the same period last year. A spokesman said higher-than-expected medical costs have hurt the cooperative.
 
The announcement casts further doubt on the future of insurance cooperatives, small nonprofit insurers that were created during the ACA's creation to inject competition in insurance markets. These co-ops immediately struggled to build their businesses. A dozen of the 23 created have already folded.
 
An Associated Press review of financial statements from 10 of the 11 surviving co-ops shows that they lost, on average, more than $21 million in the first nine months of the year. Those losses range from $3.9 million reported by Maryland's Evergreen Health Cooperative to $50.7 million booked by Land of Lincoln Mutual Health Insurance Company in Illinois.
 
"Clearly the remaining health care co-ops are in dire circumstances," said Robert Laszewski, a health care consultant and former insurance executive who has been a frequent critic of the Affordable Care Act. "I don't know how any of them can survive another year."

You mean a plan with no price controls was ineffective in mitigating cost? eff, who knew that health care conglomos, pharma companies, and insurance companies wouldn't voluntarily make their exorbitant profits a lower priority to help the American public? SHOCKED, STUNNED

ing Wolfe Exposes Real Problem

Chicago buried nine-year-old Tyshawn Lee on Tuesday. Police allege gang members lured the boy into an alley and executed him in a revenge killing aimed at his father.

Father Michael Pfleger, a white minister in a predominantly black Chicago community, eulogized Lee and castigated our society, blaming the boy’s death on our “lost conscience.”

How can we argue?

The execution of an innocent black boy draws the attention of a handful of local dignitaries while the death of a black teenager foolish enough to wrestle a cop for control of a gun helps foment unrest on a nearby college campus seven months after then-attorney general Eric Holder destroyed the fallacy of “Hands Up Don’t Shoot.”

Lies stacked on top of lies create the bullshit we’re witnessing in Columbia, Missouri. Clever faculty members, in my opinion, baited a small group of misguided black students into stirring a racial shitstorm strong enough to attract Twitter-addicted journalists looking for their next relevancy hit off the Black Lives Matter crack pipe.

The absurdity of the past week at Mizzou couldn’t be duplicated on South Park.

A 25-year-old, “Fresh Prince” black grad student threatened to starve himself to death under the pretense that the school president hadn’t done enough to stop unidentified white men from uttering the N-word when passing by in trucks and carving swastikas with poop.

The white liberal, Ta-Nehisi Coates-quoting mafia declared Mizzou an unsafe space and a hostile killing field for blacks and opened their media platforms to any person willing to share a story about hearing the N-word while in Columbia the past 50 years.

“Cry Wolfe!” is how this entire episode should be remembered. Liberal academics talked black kids into crying wolf over racially tinged rude behavior so an unpopular president would be unseated.

Adult professors who should be educating kids on the continuing damage of institutional racism, instead built a human shield around a tent city set up to host the starvation of an N-word fighter disguised as a freedom fighter.

A redneck showing his ass with verbal garbage while driving a truck isn’t racism. It’s a redneck showing his ass. Racism is a system of exploitation rooted in race. The NCAA amateurism charade is a solid example. Walter Byers, the white conservative modern architect of the NCAA, described the system he created this way in his 1997 memoir:

“Today the NCAA Presidents Commission is preoccupied with tightening a few loose bolts in a worn machine, firmly committed to the neo-plantation belief that the enormous proceeds from the college games belong to the overseers (administrators) and supervisors (coaches). The plantation workers performing in the arena may only receive those benefits authorized by the overseers.”

You’d think if the Missouri football players were going to strike, they’d choose NCAA amateurism as their cause, not the homecoming king’s hurt feelings. And you’d think if the son of a millionaire was going to threaten to end his life over an injustice, he’d choose an inspiration more heart-wrenching than a poop-stained Nazi symbol.

Why not choose Tyshawn Lee?

Ask one of those liberal academics to explain the connection between mass incarceration and gang violence. They go together like peanut butter and jelly. The ruthless, gang-related execution of a black child is a direct outgrowth of mass incarceration and its corrosive impact on morality, decency and humanity.

Concerned Student 1950 needs to ask Mizzou’s liberal academics to carry them to Tyshawn Lee’s neighborhood and create a safe space there. Seriously. Assimilated, spoiled black kids showing up on modern college campuses and pretending they’re standing on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in 1965 is f—ing embarrassing. What’s worse is assimilated, spoiled black journalists selling the righteousness of their cause.

Columbia ain’t our problem. Chicago is.

This quad is not the place in most need of a safe space.

That’s not a statement vouching for the purity of Columbia. It’s rational, mature acknowledgment that there are not, never have been and never will be any safe spaces on earth free of rude, uncomfortable behavior by humans. We’re flawed. We do dumb crap.

The appropriate questions for the kids, the journalists and their white, liberal enablers/manipulators are: 1) Which area is more in need of a safe space, Mizzou’s campus or Lee’s neighborhood? 2) Why are liberals pouring the most energy and passion into policing the safest space? 3) Why have those same liberals declared war on the very people and profession (police) they call at the first sign of trouble in the most unsafe space?

It’s all enough to make you think they don’t really have the best interest of black folk in mind. Let me remind you again: In general, African-Americans are the most religious people in America. We are traditionally conservative, which does not mean Republican. The black church, where Father Pfleger serves, has always looked first to create safe spaces where black people live.

I’m not evangelizing. I’m trying to show you who’s on your Day 1 team and who’s driving a limousine offering rides to tokens willing to be used as pawns.

I’m also trying to avoid ridiculing millennials. Whatever their shortcomings are, they’re a reflection of previous generations’ failures. We turned the education of our best and brightest kids over to predominantly white schools. We allowed them to abandon the black church. It’s not difficult to understand why they can’t distinguish between rude behavior and racism.

Liberal elites define racism as “code words” and “dog whistles” and the utterance of the N-word by white people. They reduced racism to a language. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Thurgood Marshall and our Greatest Generation defined racism as laws and policy.

Teach that in your home, at your church and at school and there won’t be another smokescreen, racial circus the next time faculty decide to overthrow a high-ranking administrator. I’d suggest the media teach it, too, but I can’t reduce the message to a 140-character tweet.

The New Joe Montgomery Birther Pit / Sanctuary: Privileged White Male - Coping Thread

« on: November 10, 2015, 09:25:01 PM »

This thread is a safe zone for white males to share stories of injustice, prejudice and unwarranted aggression in their lives, and to support and encourage one another, free from the cynism and critics and hate that non white males pile upon us. It is: SANCTUARY


I'll start:  Today was an extremely rough day. I was the subject of several micro aggressive acts, and I'm not sure I feel safe anywhere in Kansas.

Around 10 am some bitch asked me if I was going anywhere for thanksgiving??? How dare she assume I celebrate the holiday where the wasps trick mumped the Indians into thinking they were friends. I'm going to my in-laws, I replied

Noon, lunch hour, "how's you fantasy team doing". What the hell, just because I'm a white dood, I like football and dream of being some corporate suit building a championship team of skill players??? "Laveon Bell and Jamal Charles are rough ridin' me"

Driving home, get a text about barbecuing this weekend. I don't reply. My first instinct is to drive off the highway on ramp into the settling pond below. eff.

This crap is systemic, and it's set up to derail me at every turn. I can't handle this. I need restitution from the institution.

Guest Column: Are There Any Adults Left in the Room?

(Editor’s note: The piece below on the Missouri situation was submitted to Jason Whitlock by writer Tully Corcoran. Follow him on Twitter @tullycorcoran.)

The likes of Melissa Click, the University of Missouri assistant professor of mass media who yesterday attempted to “muscle” a student reporter out of a public space, are a coalition of self-appointed cultural babysitters superficially bound together by liberal interests. They see themselves as noble liberal warriors. In actuality they have more in common with 17th-Century Puritans, who sought to restrict expression through shame, and turned piety into a contest.

Zeb goes to church every day, but, lo, I skip church, for the walk to and fro only separates my nose from the Bible.

Puritans, of course, did not call themselves that. They referred to themselves as “the godly,” and you can infer what that was meant to say about those who disagreed with them.

Similarly, modern-day Puritans reject attempts at formal classification (PC Police is a particularly bitter pill) but are no less impressed with themselves. Members of the movement self-identify as liberal, but their liberalism is only cosmetic. Classical liberalism is permissive. It encourages expression and holds the right to free expression as sacrosanct.

On American college campuses in the 1960s, people like Melissa Click were known as fascists.

Today, they’re “protecting safe spaces.”

Safe from what, exactly?

This weekend on Missouri’s campus, there was a student literally willing to starve to death over racial injustice, and his alleged supporters are afraid of a student reporter with a Nikon.

I was born in 1983, which by most definitions puts me at the front end of the so-called Millennial Generation. The subject of endless thinkpieces, Millennials are commonly distinguished from our Gen X forebears by a reluctance to mature, a less cynical worldview, and that we can’t remember where we were when we heard Kurt Cobain died. If the generation before us was the generation of the Latchkey Kid, ours swung all the way to the other side. Millennials were raised by a generation of helicopter parents who fed us a diet of self-esteem and cosmetic diversity, and tried to insulate us from failure and hurt feelings with aggressive management of our lives. (Please forgive the broad brushes, here; I am speaking in generalities. My own upbringing was not like this.)

Naturally, a lot of Millennials left for college unprepared to reconcile with adult life, and expected college to nanny them just as Mom had. Well, colleges – like all businesses – reliably respond to economic incentives. Administrators and staff at most American colleges are under pressure from university presidents and regents to improve graduation and retention rates. For some, this is how their job performance is measured. So the students must be kept happy. For this generation that means having a glossy rec center, an easy path to graduation and a campus environment where they never hear anything that makes them uncomfortable. This week, it’s Missouri’s #ConcernedStudent1950 activists acting like they’re entitled to privacy in a public quad, last week it was Colorado College students protesting a film about the beginning of the gay rights movement, directed by an openly gay director, on the grounds the film was “discursively violent.”

In other words, college has jumped the shark.

Actual liberals – people with real progressive bonafides – are catching on. Bill Maher rails against this constantly. South Park has devoted an entire season to making fun of PC culture. Jonathan Chait attempted to address this problem in a column and, predictably, became the tail eaten by the snake. Jerry Seinfeld won’t perform at colleges because, he says, they’re “too conservative.” Jerry Seinfeld’s comedy cuts too deep. Seinfeld.

The so-called liberals populating college campuses today would have run screaming from 1960s Berkeley.

This would all be easier to laugh at if it were contained to college campuses. But it has escaped, and the babysat are now the babysitters, and a lot of them hold influential positions in the media. They publish dopey, faux-intellectual columns for HuffPo and Gawker and Slate that get lots of likes and retweets, the currency of relevance. Critics can barely get a word in before somebody is putting words in their mouth and dismissing them as a bigot. Substantive ideas get buried by never-ending deconstructions of verbiage. The effect is that problems are concealed, not solved, and what appears to be progress is only a candy coating on a rancid nut. 

If I am right about this, PC culture is a passing fad, or if not exactly that, doomed just the same. An administration concerned about the rights of its students to gather, speak and publish – as Constitutionally granted them – would fire Melissa Click and hope it stops them from being sued.

The adults in the room – if there are any left – have to stop acquiescing to the children, so the children can grow up.

Kansas State Football / "Vaneer" Complex

« on: October 27, 2015, 02:20:17 PM »

I'm sure many of you have noticed that the injury bug has bitten this team, hard. Many media outlets and high profile donors (not so much media bloggers and donors on this site) have been crediting many of our losses and other shortcomings on injuries. I believe this is an effort to shift the blame from where it belongs and grant this season a pass. What is different about this season from season's prior? You guessed it, the Vaneir, or should I say "vaneer", family football chowder room. This exorbitant luxury has undoubtedly made our players soft, resulting in more injuries. Wildcat football players are cut from wheat stalks in rural kansas, night the ivory towers of some lavish spa.

The problem is, what do you do? It seems insane to tear the building down. Perhaps we could limit player access in proportion to winning %. For example, 3 wins gets you locker room and weight room, but no access to the whirlpool, study rooms, film sessions or Gatorade bar.  Other suggestions are welcome.

We need to remedy the wrong before it is too late.
