Blah blah blah. Watch the other hand. This is nothing but a con to take the people's money and hand it to the oligarchy. To the tune of 1 Trillion dollars a year.

I look for the middle class (rapidly becoming the poor class) to just say at some point enough is enough. They will be bringing tar and feathers out or worse.
In which Rantburg's own Raj has a small but satisfying adventure.
I was going to a client in Belmont yesterday morning to do some year-end tax stuff when I drove through Watertown Square, a huge lefty section of Eastern Massachusetts. I spotted two Bernie Sanders supporters holding signs, with one sign urging people to 'Honk for Bernie'. During a minute at the stoplight, I noticed a number of people in BMW's and Mercedes cars doing just that with huge smiles on their faces while doing so.
I had a different approach. Recalling the opening scene of 'Die Hard With a Vengeance', I rolled down my window and yelled out 'What The Fuck?' and started abusing both of them. Among other things, I yelled out - 'He doesn't have a prayer in hell - he wants a 90% top tax rate - he's a fucking socialist!' The bearded guy says - 'I'm not gonna pay that rate!'. So I yell back - 'That's because you're a BUM - you don't make jack sh*t for money - just look at yourself!'
Um, Raj, I live in metro-west, lived on the south shore or out here for 45 years. How the hell do you tell the lefty sections from the "regular sections"? I've never figured it out. ;^)

I lived in Watertown in the Summer of '91, then to Woburn. I have to second Alan C's comment.

Then we'll celebrate life
With a scotch and a smoke for my newborn!"
[BLOOMBERG] Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz has surged ahead to become the latest front-runner in the campaign for the Iowa caucuses, dislodging Ben Carson ... a neurosurgeon who is under the delusion that being brilliant qualifies him to be president.... and opening an impressive lead over a stalled Donald Trump, a Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register Iowa Poll shows.
The firebrand ...firebrands are noted more for audio volume and the quantity of spittle generated than for any actual logic in their arguments... junior senator from Texas is backed by 31 percent of those likely to attend the Republican caucuses that start the presidential nomination season on Feb. 1. Trump is a distant second at 21 percent, up slightly from 19 percent in October, but below his peak of 23 percent in August.
Cruz's 21-percentage-point jump since October is the largest surge between Iowa Polls recorded in at least the last five presidential caucus campaigns. When first and second choices are combined, he has the support of 51 percent of likely caucus-goers. The senator's great leap forward comes largely at the expense of Carson, as Iowa's evangelicals appear to have picked the candidate they want to get behind. The retired neurosurgeon, now barely in third-place, is supported by 13 percent, down from the first-place showing he posted in October, when he was at 28 percent.

[DC Whispers] Immediately after the San Bernardino terror attack, the President of the United States was said to be initially interested in the events to the point of outright excitement for the opportunity to once again make a call for enhanced federal gun control measures -- which he did.
Within hours of the attack it became clear to federal officials that Islamic terror played an integral role.
Once that was known, Mr. Obama's enthusiasm is said to have "waned considerably." And then when the L.A. FBI office went public with calling San Bernardino a terrorist attack, both Barack Obama and Valerie Jarrett went into "warpath mode."
Jarrett's displeasure was apparently first to make itself known. She was outraged the FBI had done so without first getting prior approval from her. Jarrett was said to be particularly concerned with the proximity of the FBI's terror designation and the president's quick words on calling for more gun control measures soon after the actual San Bernardino terror attack.
They're making us look like fools!"
The focus of the White House's ire soon became FBI Director, James Comey.
Some of that conflict was outlined earlier here: BREAKING: Obama/Jarrett Warn FBI Director Over Anti-Muslim Tone
At one point, the president is said to have flung several papers onto the floor of the Oval Office as he sat behind his desk stewing over Director's Comey's now-infamous terrorist attack remarks.
"This was supposed to be a gun issue for us, not some anti-Islamic bullsh*t!"
I decided to finally read that copy of the Quran that I had CAIR mail to me on their dime a few months after 9/11. I'm 23 pages in. I understand that the word kufr does not mean nonbeliever, but rather 'those who deny the truth'. Someone explain to me why I should bother to read further.

because you'll love the flying donkey story(actually you need to read the hadith as well...yeah I was bored)

What happens when the imperial staff start worrying about their own safety (and that of their families) over obeying ever more irrational direction from the emperor's inner circle? What happens when they stop obeying the decrees? What happens when self preservation means looking beyond 2016?

During the intense back and forth among speech writers and Jarrett, was a moment where Barack Obama is said to have pointed defiantly at Jarrett and declared, “This is just as much an Israel problem as it is a gun problem! Nobody wants to say it, but it’s true!”
Huh?

It's becoming ever more clear how much Obama hates Israel.

Fools and thin skinned petty tyrants.
If they keep going as they are, they won't make it to the end of 2016 to leave peacefully.

As the end draws nigh, the mask slips more and more and the nature of the ValJar/Champ presidency and its agendas show more and more...
think back to how many at the beginning of his run asked questions that were dismissed as ridiculous that now seem so obvious.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
