The WAPO and other MSM are blaming the bombing on Trump, and defacto blaming him for the synagog shooting in Pittsburgh yesterday, claiming ‘they’ have the moral high ground, because they are ‘honest’ reporters. One of the claims yesterday on cable was that the President has radicalized more people than ISIS…
But if you go back and look at when Steve Scalise was shot, even though the shooter was an admitted and avowed Bernieite, you never saw THAT in a headline.
As an OBTW, Trump’s daughter is married to a Jew, has converted to Judaism, and he has Jewish grandchildren. Kinda hard to say he’s anti-Jewish.
I would just ask this question of the WAPO/NY Times, and other MSM outlets- How clean are your hands? What is the actual slant of most of your stories concerning either the President or Republicans? Hint- Over 80% negative/provocative in nature.
Have your stories played up or played down violence between various groups, and what slant is seen on those stories?
What do many of your talking heads/pundits continue to insinuate on a daily basis? Peace and love, balanced reporting, or ???
Are your articles for or against the military?
Law Enforcement?
The common people/flyover country?
Immigration?
NRA/Armed citizens?
And the list goes on…
There is some pushback, HERE, from S. Sanders on the President and First Lady visiting Pittsburgh tomorrow.
I’m about to the point that anything I read in the papers or see on the MSM, I pretty much believe the opposite is going to be the truth… sigh…
This weekend was one for seeing some beautiful oldies…
Beautiful 55 shoebox sedan delivery! Talking to the owner, it was four years and a ‘lot’ of money that went into the restoration. It’s running a crate 350 with a Turbo 400 behind it.
And this one… A 53 3100 (1 ton) Chevy pickup. I didn’t talk to the owner, but wow…
And this rear graphic is something else!
We were all parked WELL away from the store, the white truck behind this one was also Marines. LOL
The one I didn’t get a pic of, was a 1970 Mercury Grande Marquis Brougham, fully outfitted, including wheel pants, that looked all original. It was leaving a parking lot as I was pulling in, being driven by a little old white haired lady. I’m betting that one was immaculate inside and out too!
Sigh… So many nice cars, so little money…
The Icelanders have obviously ‘forgotten’ how much beer Americans drink…
A national crisis hit Iceland this week when a force of 7,000 American sailors and Marines who know nothing about the third president’s propensity for alcoholic self-restraint invaded the country’s capital city of Reykjavík, flexed an unquenchable thirst for frosty suds and swiftly drained much of the city’s beer supply.
Full article, HERE.
The only ‘real’ beer in Iceland before 1989 came from the US military. You have to understand that until 1989, Iceland beer was limited to 2.25%, so people drank hard liquor, or traded with sailors and airmen for beer from the bases.
We left there in 2006, pulling all the support and exchange/commissary was closed, which meant no more American beer. From what I’ve heard, even today their ‘beer’ isn’t real good… And they don’t import beer from the states as far as I know. Hence the ‘drought’ when the Americans hit town.
And hopefully the kids were smart enough to NOT try the Ákavíti… That s**t is NASTY…
Our little group gets together on a regular basis for food…
Tonight was my turn to cook, and there had been a back and forth about Tortillas. Now I’d done Miggie’s recipe earlier, and since Peter didn’t remember trying it, I decided to do it again.
Now I’m cooking for six, so it’s barely going to be enough… Even with adding two more eggs, and some ‘extra’ on the other ingredients…
So I reached out to Miggy, “WTH do I serve WITH the Tortilla?” Or words to that effect…
So we ended up with fruit, cheese, and biscuits! 🙂 And pie for dessert!
And everyone, including Peter, was very happy with the meal, but it was a close thing, there were NO leftovers… It barely served six. Sigh…
Which takes it off the list if it’s more than our little group, unless I feed ’em in shifts!
Thanks Miggy!
Anybody else notice this???
How did a package get ‘mailed’ without the stamps being cancelled???
I’m now wondering if this was the ‘October Surprise’ the dems were talking about. I note that the media is hard over on blaming the President for these ‘bombs’, yet there isn’t really any information yet…
Which makes me wonder even more if ye olde false flag is yet again in play???
What better way to pump up their numbers than to cry poor me, I’m being threatened, but I’m standing ‘strong’ for you!
And yes, WHOMEVER did this should be put under the prison for a long, long time! Unconscionable does not begin to describe this, since the only ones that potentially would have gotten hurt are the ‘little people’ that work in the mail rooms/sorting facilities…
h/t Stretch
On the ‘caravan’…
Who is paying for their food, water, medications, and busses? Lawdog and I were chewing this over at lunch yesterday, and ‘somebody’ is behind this…
Logistics is a nightmare for professionals, moving a battalion or, for me, getting ready for a sea test was a long involved process, and that was dealing with professionals who do that for a living.
But these people are getting food and water regularly, almost like runners in a race. They walk by tables and are handed a sandwich and a bottle of liquid in the videos I’ve seen. And I’ve seen some pretty sophisticated tents that ‘seem’ to be travelling with them. They are covering 25 miles a day? Really? That’s a pretty good pace for a ‘fit, healthy’ individual. The average person ‘might’ make 20 miles a day, but I don’t see them doing that day after day.
I don’t see the poor villages/cities along their route doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, or even being able to afford it! Going cheap, let’s say a dollar for a sandwich and water, that’s still $7-10000/meal a day, or $21-30000/day total, and they are going to keep that up from 2-3 months?
Why is none of the MSM asking these basic questions???
On Khashoggi’s death….
Who cares? This is business as usual for the Middle East, he’s not an American, he was here on a green card, and his backstory is rather sketchy… Good luck trying to find out who his father was… And he’s supposedly the ‘nephew’ or Adnan Khashoggi, who made his fortune as a gun runner.
Remember, life is cheap over there, you can get somebody killed for $100 or less, depending on where you are. And Erdoğan’s hands are not clean, nor are most of the Middle Eastern leaders. All of them routinely throw political opponents/journalists in jail and/or prison, or kill them, when they piss off the powers that be.
I ‘think’ the ONLY reason this is getting the push that it is, is because he was supposedly a ‘journalist’, (apparently he was a ‘stringer’ for the WAPO, which means he wasn’t actually on staff, just sold them the occasional article), which has the MSM upset that ‘one of their own’ got offed, which kinda puts them on notice, if you will…
I know this may piss some folks off, but I’ve spent time in that part of the world, and it’s, IMHO, a realistic appraisal of what probably happened. YMMV

Short Story:
Sally, whose full name was Alessandra Padilla Rivera, and who had been raised by a grandmama on stories of El Cucuy, the chupacabra, and the jaguar god who hunts in the night, knows how hard good jobs are to find, and keep. She has a mother to support, and a new job to prove herself at. A couple of problems, though… She is working in a morgue where strange things are happening. The only person she can talk to is her boss, her mother just turns the television volume up, and her friends are grossed out by her job. But Sally is convinced her boss isn’t fully human…
Another one goes to prison 21 down, 12 (at least) to go!
In an email arranging to hand off proprietary Navy information to the flamboyant contractor Leonard Francis, Navy Cmdr. Troy Amundson described himself as “a small dog just trying to get a bone.”
Full article, HERE.
His supposed statement that the movement schedules weren’t classifed is pure BS! MOVEORDs are ALWAYS classified until the ship is underway. Ask any E-2 on the waterfront and they can tell you!
So far 21 people have been convicted, and it’s a question as to how high this whole thing will go. Fat Leonard made a mockery of the US Navy in 7th Fleet for way too many years, in addition to ripping off the Navy and others for millions of dollars for provisioning and husbanding.
The greed and egos involved is just stunning… And a huge black eye to the Navy and everyone involved in WESTPAC. The ships went where they were directed, and really didn’t have a ‘choice’ of what port to go into, so this isn’t on the individual CO’s, contrary to what some reports say. This was all directed at a much higher level, based on ‘country requirements’ for port calls to meet various metrics sent from PACOM/CNO depending on various ‘things’ going on at the State/Foreign Policy level.
I hope the others get convicted and sent to jail, and the Navy can finally move forward. The morale on the waterfront in WESTPAC sucks right now, and our sailors deserve better from their leadership than this shit!
