Truism

The trouble with socialism is that you can vote your way into it but you have to shoot your way out.

What A Jackass

Coming To The Portland Area Soon

You Vill Pay!

Drivers who take a highway exit to avoid having to pay a toll on Virginia's Interstate 81 could end up paying far more after a ticket arrives in the mail. The state Senate Transportation Committee will consider a proposal later today that would authorize tolling on I-81. Introduced by state Senator Mark D. Obenshain (R-Harrisonburg), the measure would also allow private companies to operate a new type of automated photo enforcement camera that issues tickets based on a motorist's choice of route. Those attempting to save a bit of money by taking a side street could be subjected to a fine set by the Commonwealth Transportation Board.

You just know they'll try that here.

I generally drive side-streets, so this approach is geared toward people like me.

 

 

Too Much Even For Seattle

Channel 13's fired one of its editors following revelations that they had doctored a clip of President Trump’s Tuesday Oval Office address.

Less than a day after placing the editor responsible on leave pending an investigation, Q13 terminated his employment.

“We’ve completed our investigation into this incident and determined that the actions were the result of an individual editor whose employment has been terminated,” said Q13’s news director in a Thursday update.

The Q13 video created a loop of the President licking his lips — making it seem bizarre and unbalanced — it also seems that someone distorted the President’s face and may have added an orange tone to his skin.

Well, it's Seattle. Derangement is kind of the norm in the Pacific Northwest. Our next-door neighbors absolutely hate conservatives - but they have one of those virtue-signalling signs on their lawn: "We believe", yadda-yadda. The most hate-filled couple I've ever met, but they have a sign that proclaims their virtue.

Before we buy the next house, I'll be checking out the neighbors in the area.

 

Feelin' The Bern?

A number of alumni from Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign wrote a letter in hopes of having a meeting with the Vermont senator and his closest advisers in order to discuss rampant “sexual violence and harassment” employees faced during the last Democratic primary. The letter, obtained by Politico, features the signatures of over two dozen women and men who say a “dangerous dynamic” existed during the last campaign.

Getting a little warm out there on the old campaign trail, it seems.

 

Occasional-Cortex Can't Shut Up

I'm guessing the junior congresswoman will be gone in two years - but it'll be someone else's fault. Certainly not hers.

The little twerp took a shot at Senator Graham, claiming (falsely) that he voted to impeach Billy Clinton - when in fact he did not, and so she yet again demonstrated her idiocy. Well, and that of the idiots who elected her.

 

Naturally...

U.S. Customs and Border Protection take in a group of illegal immigrants wandering through the New Mexico desert into custody, and a 7-year-old girl whose father hadn't given her food or water for days, begins to have seizures just eight hours after being detained, goes into cardiac arrest, and ultimately dies of dehydration and septic shock.

Do you blame the CBP, which worked to get the Guatemalan girl into a helicopter and to a hospital after she began having seizures? Or do you blame the father who dragged his daughter through the desert for several days?

This is the Trump era, so you know exactly who the media is blaming.

The Women's March said of the girl, "Her death is on this administration’s hands. Just that this is why we can’t stop resisting."

"Shame on our country and shame on Donald Trump," said Shaun King in a tweet with 16,000 likes.

Nope. Shame on her father. It has nothing to do with our country nor with Trump. The Left is so blinded by hatred that little things like facts don't matter to them.

They're not even pretending any longer, which is probably a good thing; there's no longer any question as to who the enemy is.

 

No Joy, Behar

One would be hard-pressed to come up with a more inappropriate name for the aged Leftist.

What the public saw Monday when “The View” co-hosts Joy Behar and Meghan McCain sparred on air before a fellow host threw the show to commercial was only a part of what really happened. “My God! Get this b-tch under control!” Behar shrieked in fury after the show went to commercial, according to an inside source who spoke with the Daily Mail. “If this sh-t doesn’t stop I’m quitting this damn show. I can’t take this much more,” she continued so loudly that the audience heard it, prompting producers to hop on stage to try and deescalate the feud. “I’ve tolerated a lot of sh-t on this show, but I’m at my wits’ end with this entitled b-itch. Enough already! Enough already! I’m not playing nice any longer!”

Amusingly, Behar claimed that she actually has wits. Oh, tidings of comfort and Joy. With any luck, she actually will quit; ratings would doubtless improve.

 

Occasional Cortex Does It Again

Now she's comparing her election as a Congress-Critter from New Yawk to the moon landings and civil rights. Apparently, she's too stupid to realize that her chosen political potty fought desperately against the Civil Rights Act. Oh, and going to the moon?

That happened under President Nixon, a Republican.

What a maroon.

 

Responsible Land Management

California has a choice: encourage proper land management, or go all Green&Sustainable™. They've been doing the latter for years, and somehow, it doesn't look as though their "vehicle emissions standards" are all that important in the great scheme of things.
