Off-Topic and Offensive

Daily Pundit avatarPosted on by 53

It has come to our attention that a certain group of immigrants to the US, where “immigrant” should be read as “freeloaders coming for the EBT cards and other gibs, who have no intention of integrating and becoming true Americans”, are offended by the American Flag. It represents colonialism and oppression. Or something. Who gives a damn what they think?

Baby, if you’re looking to be offended, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Place your off-topic words, thoughts, and pictures here. Don’t worry about offending anyone. In fact, offensiveness is to be encouraged, especially if aimed at the easily offended. (If you find yourself offended by anything you see here, ask yourself “Is it possible that I’m the problem?”)

(Link to previous OT thread.)

Of Course. It’s All Part of the Plan.

Gee.  I wonder if Comey’s latest bleet, er, tweet, has anything to do with the following:

Intel Chair: FBI, DOJ Obstructing Trump Probe in Hope of Dem Takeover in Congress

The chair of the House Intelligence Committee accused the FBI and Department of Justice of stonewalling a sprawling investigation into claims the Trump campaign colluded with Russia with the hope of running out the clock until the November elections, when they anticipate Democrats will regain control of the House and dissolve an ongoing probe that has uncovered evidence U.S. officials sought to cripple Trump’s campaign.

I bet it does.

Freedom’s Just Another Word (For Having No Brains at All)

Ruth Bader Ginsburg Lies About the Constitution and Freedom in a Movie About the Notorious RBG

At the trailer’s climax, Ginsburg (Felicity Jones) argues a sex discrimination case before a panel of judges.

“The word ‘woman’ does not appear even once in the U.S. Constitution,” one judge declares.

“Neither does the word freedom, your honor,” Ginsburg quips.

…

Ginsburg’s quip is the fundamental problem, however. “Woman” does not appear in the Constitution, but “freedom” emphatically does. Both “freedom” and another word that means essentially the same thing — “liberty” — appear throughout the Constitution.

First, there’s the preamble: “We the people of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America” (italics added, capitalization original).

Then there’s the 1st Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” (emphasis added).

Since this piece of trash undoubtedly has much input in its making from millennials (the tv/film biz is a young person’s world, and Hollywood itself is one of the most ageist places on earth) it may be unsurprising that this sort of claptrap actually hit the screen.  After all, millennials are about as ignorant about the Constitution as they are about most everything else.

Certainly most millennial viewers of this trash wouldn’t catch the lie from the ersatz Ginsberg.

The BBC argued that:

“This judgment creates new case law and represents a dramatic shift against press freedom and the long-standing ability of journalists to report on police investigations, which in some cases has led to further complainants coming forward.”

Where was their commitment to reporting in letting 16 years of police investigations go unreported in Rotherham, where Muslim gangs  sexually exploited and abused as many as 1,500 girls? Oh, that would be racist and Islamophobic, I get it.

What the Beeb is really pissed off about here is that this decision infringes on its self-imposed right to act as a propaganda organ for the far left, and one of the die-hard aspects of that “right:”  To protect Muslim invaders against all threats from Brit deplorable scum who are annoyed about losing their country to them.

Ninth Circuit upholds preliminary injunction against magazine confiscation in California – Volokh Conspiracy : Reason.com

Attorney General Becerra has the option of petitioning the full Ninth Circuit for an en banc rehearing. Such petitions typically take at least several months. By the time an en banc court was assembled, with time for pro/con briefing and oral argument, the preliminary injunction issue might be moot, since the district court by then would have issued a final ruling. But Ninth Circuit en banc can be very hostile to the Second Amendment, as Justices Thomas and Gorsuch observed in dissenting from denial of certiorari in a Ninth Circuit en banc case nullifying the right to bear arms. So a speedy en banc reversal of today’s decision is not out of the question.

Yes, but now the RKBA supporters have an excellent chance of prevailing in an appeal to the Supreme Court.  In fact, once Kavanaugh is seated, and most especially if Trump manages to replace one of the SCOTUS lefties as well, RKA supporters should launch a wide-spread legal assault on the egregious violations of the Second other liberal courts have allowed to stand.  California and New York, in particular, should be in these legal crosshairs.

Of course, all of this would be hopeless without President Trump’s victory.  And without a solid majority in the Senate to allow him to continue to move the courts back towards constitutional originalism, we will continue to see the Second at risk.

You hear me, Tamara Keel in Indianapolis, supposedly an RKBA supporter, but possibly not a Mike Braun voter?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: Unemployment Is Low Because People Have 2 Jobs | The Daily Caller

Ocasio-Cortez also seemed to misunderstand the difference between unemployment and underemployment, asserting that unemployment is low because people are working multiple jobs.

“Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs,” she said. “Unemployment is low because people are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week and can barely feed their family.”

She’s a commie.  By definition that makes her an idiot.  Especially about economics.  Which, I understand, she somehow obtained a degree in.

‘Batwoman’ TV Series in the Works at The CW | Hollywood Reporter

Batwoman revolves around Kate Kane, who, armed with a passion for social justice and flair for speaking her mind, soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence. But don’t call her a hero yet: in a city desperate for a savior, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.

No, I don’t believe I will be watching this.

There’s a tiny chance I’d vote for Braun, because the dude’s SoCon mouth noises he made for the primary seemed about as convincing as the visual effects in the original Star Trek series, but I’m insulted enough by this ad to guarantee it’ll be a cold day in hell before I vote for Joe Donnelly.

Tam is generally level headed, but this “I dunno if I would vote for Braun, but I won’t vote for Donnelly” is the sort of wooly-minded BS the Never Trumpers were peddling in 2016 (before they lost their minds completely and became full-tilt Democrats).

In the simplest terms, Indiana is going to elect a Senator this fall. It will either be Democrat Joe Donnelly, or Republican Mike Braun. No other options, sorry.

Moreover, you don’t get a cop-out here of voting (or not voting at all) for “muh principles.” This is a fairly tight race, and votes will count here, unlike, say, California, where either not voting, or voting Republican, will have the same effect on the outcome – zero.

So if you aren’t voting for Braun, that means you aren’t voting for a Republican Senator from Indiana this fall. Parse that in whatever way makes you feel good about yourself, but that is the bottom line.

Study: Students would curb binge drinking for better grades, health.

Here’s how the study defines “binge drinking:”

Study: Students would curb binge drinking for better grades, health – UPI.com

Binge drinking was defined as a pattern of drinking that raises a person’s blood alcohol level to 0.08 percent or above per 100 g of blood. Binge drinking occurs when within a 2-hour time frame, women consume at least four drinks or men consume at least five drinks.

When I was a college student, we called that “happy hour.”

Also, when I was in college, .08 would not really have been considered drunk:

Drunk Driving and The Pre-History of Breathalyzers

But Americans were much more lenient when it came to drunk driving. Even as late as the 1960s, American courts in many states saw anything less than 0.15% as probably not worthy of prosecution, still adhering to guidelines set up in 1939 by the National Safety Council and the American Medical Association. They gave three ranges for BAC, which would become the standard in a majority of state legislatures:

  • 0.05% and below: Defendants should not be considered under the influence
  • 0.05% to 0.15%: Not considered “under the influence” but taken into account if other evidence is presented
  • 0.15% and above: Presumed “under the influence” of alcohol

Times change. The pendulum swings, generally too far. Current moves are afoot to lower the legal intoxication level to .05. What that really is approaching is prohibition under a different guise. And why not? It was worked with cigarettes.

About the left howling “treason” at the top of its lungs at President Trump.

Although they do know a good bit about treason.

Enough, one would think, to know that this wasn’t it.

Gotta ask, though:  Is “treason” their new “racism,” that is, anything they don’t like?

Amazing How That Happened

Just as the great American geniuses who wrote our Constitution intended.

Not that that would cut any ice with the commies at VOX.

UPDATE:  This is from the article the VOX tweet cites:

 Why Trump says the Electoral College is better for Democrats – Vox

There’s a reason Trump claims the Electoral College is favorable to Democrats and not Republicans: Republicans contend that because states considered “safely Democratic” are bigger than deep-red states, they therefore have more Electoral College votes to start with.

“The Republican candidate must nearly run the table on the battleground states in order to squeak into the White House, whereas the Democratic candidate has multiple pathways to victory,” Matt Mayer, a conservative writer, explained in the Washington Examiner. Here’s how he breaks down the math:

Which is, of course, perfectly accurate.  Congressional districts are based on population (including, apparently, illegal aliens, which is why California has so many of them.  And the Electoral College awards one Electoral Vote for each congressman and senator in a state.

How the Electoral College favors Democrats and why Republicans must change it

Let me break it down by state and electoral votes.

The Democrat will almost always win the following states: California, Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Republicans haven’t won New York, Oregon, Washington, or Wisconsin since Ronald Reagan’s 1984 landslide win.

They haven’t won California, Illinois, Michigan, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania since 1988. Those states are worth 183 electoral votes. Thus, the Democrat likely enters the 2016 election with a base of 242 electoral votes.

The Republican will almost always win Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wyoming. Those states give the Republican a base of 170 electoral votes.

This electoral vote allocation leaves the Democrat just 28 electoral votes from The White House, while the Republican needs an additional 100 electoral votes to win. There are only 126 electoral votes left among the 11 battleground states.

In other words, Trump is 100% correct.  The GOP is already half-buried before a national election even begins.

Sex robot addiction: Clinics braced for humans hooked on cyborgs | Daily Star

The creation of artificially intelligent sex robots that resemble humans has provoked a heated debate about the social and health consequences.

Meanwhile, the market for talking and moving robots made for sexual pleasure is on the rise, with makers from across the world selling them for thousands of pounds.

Yes, I’m waiting for the “experts” to tell us that bonking robots will make us men go blind.

Just like masturbation does.

Here’s the truth:  Sex robots do not require dinner, marriage, submission, constant agreement and endless high maintenance in order to provide something most men like quite a lot – sex.

Without all the hangups involved in begging real women for it.

But then, what would you expect?  Burger flippers are shocked to find they can be replaced by machines.

Women, especially feminazis who tell us women need men like fish need bicycles may be in for a similar shock, and one which I don’t think they’ll find quite as pleasant as they imagine.

Rand Paul on Russian election meddling: ‘We all do it’ – POLITICO

“We all do it. What we need to do is make sure our electoral process is protected,” Paul said. “They’re not going to admit it in the same way we’re not going to admit we were involved in the Ukrainian elections or the Russian elections.”

This.

Which is one of the most bothersome aspects of the Hate-Trump right and left – the hypocrisy inherent in the fake outrage about the “violation” of our precious, precious elections.

As if the Democrats don’t rape our precious electoral system every chance they get.

Let alone what we do to other countries.
