Van Jones wants athletes to go political. Has Van lost his mind? Doesn’t he know the Colin Kaepernick story and how that turned out for Colin, the NFL, and lots of that league’s fans? And now he wants more politicizing from sports stars?

When people watch sports, they are seeking a fantasy, an escape, a break from life’s woes and worries. To have their hometown or favorite a-list athletes expound on Republicans, Democrats, Independents, or Tree Huggers isn’t as becoming as watching their faves ply their sporting trade to their utmost.

Van, for those who sensibly avoid TV America’s political shows with their non-titillating talking heads, and who properly don’t have a clue as to who he is - is a hardcore lefty. He’s a regular on CNN, the fake or factual news station – you decide...and he went off the channel of rational thought and went straight to backlash, when he blamed The Donald’s big victory, Trump’s presidential win, on something he called “Whitelash.”

Yet almost unbelievably, in his recommendation that the revered sports genre mix more with the rancid world of politics, he comes across as a balanced guy. He’s NOT hoping athletes spew a Democratic Party screed to the exclusion of all other dogmas: he’s wishing sports stars, if they lean to the middle or the moderate-to-hard right, share their beliefs and desires too. He, however, then teeters off balance declaring that athletes should risk their paycheck for political punditry.  

So the fan of sports will be besieged by political stances from A to Z. Gee. Won’t that be the be all and end all? 

Thing is, this having celebrated folks and figures in a particular industry moonlight as political pundits has bored and bothered the daylights out of the average Joe and Jane. Hollywood is reviled - and lampooned - and ridiculed (except for when Jon Voight and Angelina Jolie appear to be on the dark side of the moon vis-a-vis the other, when it comes to American politics) because so many of its inhabitants spew off on politics instead of sticking to the script.  Just because someone can sing, dance, act, or read from a teleprompter shouldn’t give them a platform to raise political issues. They should be like the everyday normal person who, when trying to convince family or friends of their stances on political subjects, is at least behaving acceptably. Friends and family are fair game for persuasion because they know the person explaining their views, they know the strengths and weaknesses, and they aren’t blinded by a biased fawning mass-media publicity campaign.

The well-known should go no further than that of John Q public. They shouldn’t rely on mainstream media exposure. Access to the latter, for any famous person, should not be used to put out fatuous or farsighted political viewpoints...

Hollywood has been in the political recipe for some time now, and Mr. Jones wants sports superstars to add to this political pot stew? Eew. Van opined on the Rich Eisen show that stars of sport should use their platforms of popularity to propound in matters of politics. But Van has gotta know that major sports in America are already waist deep in problems with, for example, MLB featuring games far too long, the NHL with only the Nashville Predators and the Toronto Maple Leafs blowing people’s minds a bit, with the aforementioned NFL and Kaepernick mired in grievance, with the NBA coming off from a boring post-season playoff run  - and now he wants to further sink these sports with politics?

Mr. Jones pointedly (and sadly) believes that speaking out on political matters would “make the world better.” He made mention of Muhammad Ali. But Ali was a special case. He was at the top of boxing, with a 29-0 record when he decided to risk his career because he didn’t want to fight the Viet Cong. Ali was articulate and admirable, and wise - and a wonder - in the ring. Contrast Ali with Kaepernick. Colin, though he threw for 300 + yards in Super Bowl XLVII, in a losing role, is, no Ali.

And no one in the present, or on the horizon, in Van's home of the United States, can be Jesse Owens either. Owens was, despite facing a systemic national racial color barrier at home, great in the high jump, broad jump, 100 yard, and 220. Then he went abroad and beat the pants off the best that Hitler’s Nazi Germany Aryan Race competitors had to offer. He won gold in the (meter) 100, 200, 4 x 100 and in the long jump. No sports star in the USA has such a perfect storm of all odds being against him or her to prove political points of race, ethnicity, religion, or gender.

Hey, Van, look at the new maelstrom of gender politics affecting sport. Look at sports, women’s sports, where women used to compete against women, before men declared they were women and mopped up against real women. We now have the ridiculous rigmarole of women competing against men in events for women. The results for transgendered man-to-woman individuals, where the man hasn’t undergone a sex change surgery or a hormonal transplant (step off that podium, Andraya Yearwood)  - - - has been catastrophic for the gals, and threatens to make a mockery of the idea that sports should be fair at the outset recognizing and accounting for differences between men and women when it comes to testosterone, stamina, muscle mass, and power.
​
Van converses well and is a popular go-to guy for CNN, and perhaps he means well with his postulation on sports stars engaging followers to their political positions – but you and I, please, let's not go down his road and pave the way through embracing athletes who articulate via mass media, sensible or stupid political viewpoints.  Let's instead embrace athletes for being what they've been for the most part: athletes.

​Adam Silver’s got balls. The commissioner of the NBA wants NBA players to hector President Donald Trump for his incorrect views. Has Trump complained about the lack of diversity within the NBA – a league where 75% of players are black? Has he wanted to put blacks at the back of the bus, behind illegal aliens? What the heck is Adam Silver dribbling about?

We’ll get to the NBA dunk of Trump momentarily.

Up until now, Adam has handled race-based, concerning African-Americans, political issues with aplomb.

Actually Silver demolishes, not dribbles, when it comes to racism against blacks. When NBA owner, come on down, Donald Sterling - spoke racially and odiously off the cuff privately to V. Stiviano about black people, well, Adam, in only his 88th day as commissioner, atomized Donald with a jolly good ban of him from the NBA - for LIFE - and tacked on a 2.5 million dollar fine for good measure – based on this one incident only.

Wow.

The power.

Power, however, that was lauded by NBA icons Charles Barclay, Kenny “The Jet” Smith, and Shaquille O’Neal, in hearing of Silver’s slam dunk of Sterling.

Power. Put to proper use.

Perhaps, however, instead of targeting President Trump, Silver, who looks EXACTLY like the farmer carrying the pitchfork in the American Gothic House painting, should use that power, as a white guy, to resign and let a female black take his job. Or let Mark Tatum, a black deputy commissioner vie for his spot. Apparently blacks in NBA management are almost as low numerically as are Asians playing in the NBA, although blacks, Shaquille O’Neal and David Robinson, do hold team-ownership positions in the league, albeit in piddly amounts. Robinson has 1.88% in the San Antonio Spurs while O’Neal has 2-4% with the Sacramento Kings.

Or Silver, do a double. Step down, but before you do, arbitrarily set quotas for Asians to start on NBA squads.

No? 

Oh.

So you plead for blacks in a league replete with them against The Donald whose Trumpian Empire in his casinos and hotels had diverse staffs. Yet your understanding of presidential player development is nil. Think basketball player’s development. A performer, new to the job, doesn’t hit his, or her, stride for many months, maybe a couple of years – at least. Yet you want your brood to carp and castigate against The Donald in, what, his three-some months of tenure?

And hasn’t Silver seen what Colin Kaepernick’s politics has done to NFL fan attendance? Does he want the NBA to go all political? With the country evenly split between left wing lunatics and right wing wackos, no matter what stance on the issue of the day the NBA takes, will piss off half the populace. (One fortunate fact is that the NBA mandates players to stand for the anthem.)

Oops, a bit late. The NBA has gone over-the-top-and-below-the-belt political, deciding it didn’t like North Carolina’s law(s) on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people, believing them discriminatory – so Charlotte won’t get the All-Star game in February. North Carolina Governor, Pat McCrory, said that the people of North Carolina should use washrooms based on their genetic sex. If perception is reality, the NBA looks like it supports boys using girls’ washrooms.

The NBA is fouling out here...

And even if the NBA isn’t going all partisan, its performers of arms-length have. Remember Denasia Lawrence, the singer who did the anthem in a pre-season game? She knelt and opened her jacket to show off a T-shirt extolling Black Lives Matter.

This is a controversial group.

While BLM can’t control its members and can’t be responsible for their biases and thuggery, it has followers that praised the killing of three Baton Rouge police officers. So the NBA, like it or not, is tainted by association to a collective that many, like the Dallas Police Department’s Demetrick Pennie, who is President of the Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation, and who is suing BLM for inciting race riots - feels is racist and anarchist. Pennie is black so it would be hard to construe his motives as skin based...

Now, for sake of argument, let us say the players are right to debate with The Donald and, moreover, that their arguments are completely correct too.

This can play out in a few ways.
​
First, they make their arguments and Donald listens without reaction. Second, they make their arguments and Donald disagrees with them completely. (This scenario isn’t likely.) Third, he agrees with some of their points, says others need study, and disagrees with the rest.
(((Third-point-A, Donald Trump does whatever Donald Trump does to confound us all once again.)))
Forget Third-point-A for now. For our sanity and safekeeping.
There’s a fourth option. Let’s call this the nuclear option. As we all know by now Trump has broken every conventional political rule in getting himself elected. He just might decide to cancel the tradition of NBA champions visiting the White House because, given his busy schedule - - -  although Saturday Night Live has VP Pence handling all the tough stuff - - - why would he want to preside over an event in which he is harangued and lectured? Didn’t he just face such treatment from the mainstream media while electioneering? Why go through it again? What’s in it for him?

But there’s a fifth possibility that might send the NBA-complaining stars back to the bench. Suppose they tout reforms to policing and more community involvement in nurturing wayward kids in gangs to go straight. Now suppose it is the Cleveland Cavaliers that win again in 2017 and Trump listens to the arguments and agrees with the players and volunteers and asks them to go out into the troubled communities to help try to fix things up. For sure LeBron James, with his history of giving back on Akron, will rise to the challenge but will others? And will some doing the caterwauling be shown by Donald’s response to be nothing more than virtue signalers?

What would President Trump, in agreeing to the NBA player pleas be doing? He’d be calling their bluff.
​
Tip off.

​It seems Celine Dion, Garth Brooks, Gene Simmons, and others, didn’t want to perform for The Donald at his presidential coming-out party. Fair enough. That's their right to be wrong. Meanwhile rumor has it the Democratic Party is planning a YUGE anti-inauguration protest party to show the world that celebrities and fellow race-baiter party members like losers. But will the optics be bad if Donald has no A-List personalities or troupes to pump him up?

First of all, other than The Radio City Rockettes and teenage singer, Jackie Evancho, confirmed performers - who cares?

A party is noted the night of the shindig, but the next day is forgotten, helped by aspirin and water, a couch and remote. Second of all, he's the president: he's won even if movie stars and singing divas defer to Hillary and Bernie. Lastly, despite main-stream media scoffing at the possibilities of Donald's unpopularity with people they drool over - the very fact that the main-stream media thinks this is noteworthy, means exactly that it isn't.

But, for sake of argument here's what Trump should do to turn this "disaster" into a Trump-triumph. CNN, MSNBC, Politico and other leftie advocacy media groups will try to make hay from now until inauguration of President Trump's inability to woo A-list singers to strut in sequins or satin or spandex. His presidency will lie in the balance. The world security balance-of-power will be threatened. His ostracism - all of which will be declared his doing and downfall – AND HIS FAULT - will mean that the United States, worldwide, will be shunned diplomatically and will be left stillborn at any birthing initiatives the United Nations may conjure up to make the world even more perfect so....Donald Trump do this:
​
Don't have an inauguration-party panoply. Forgo the evening circuit route of Official Ball dances. Stick to your knitting, stick to your tweeting; do the swearing in bit – The Oath of Office - as ordained by Article II Section I of the United States Constitution, show the public you are hard at work knowing (and glowing, if not showing it) that all Hillary backers will be trying to get a lust on for Hillary, backs to the wall, with Amyl Nitrate, and under threat at gunpoint. Granted, you would have had to disband your Inaugural committee you just set up on November 15th, and true the Chairman, Finance Co-Chairmen, followed by the 20 little Finance Vice-Chairs would have to find other ways to occupy their team, like getting plastered in the early PM but, so what?

There’s a bigger principle here:

Not partaking of inauguration drunk-fests will drive both Democrats and the main-stream media bonkers. Another tradition will have been sullied, another formality fouled. Another brick in the pre-presidential legacy wall will have been unceremoniously kicked out of place. The empire will be at risk, mother earth will have been politically poisoned, and it will be your entire fault, Donald T.

(For those, however, that have booked to visit Washington you can still have fun without the Trumpster around and about. You can tour the U.S. Capitol; check out the presidential pictures at the National Portrait Gallery; go slumming and visit - in an armored car - slum areas of the city...)

Where were we?

Basically, Donald himself should book from dancing with the also rans – it will clearly get under the Democratic Party, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, The Young Turks, Huffington Post, and Politico’s skin.
Which will drive them even crazier the next day.
​
And any good hangover deserves a pick me up.

​The Princeton University Tigers aren’t pussyfooting around. They’ve suspended the men’s swimming and diving team for impure thoughts. The institution has to be embarrassed. Here they are espousing, in their website overview, that they are in “the service of humanity” and yet some humans at their very school don’t act in the approved way.

Shocking.

Actually it isn’t shocking at all – men were being men again (via email) treating women as objects of desire and derision, and the men were being people, adding in with racist comments too. So we have a double dose of ignorance and immaturity. For sure, it’s becoming clear that the Ivy League has its share of sophomoric saps. Harvard University cancelled the Men’s soccer team season for it being too randy and too racy when talking about women.

So while the men are probably bummed about the rest of their season’s prospects, and suspicious - given that Athletics Director Mollie Marcoux Samaan - would not publicly reveal the commentary, they’ve got to be freaking out about the metaphorical waterboarding torture tests awaiting them. First of all, they’ll probably get dunked with SHARE. This is an office at Princeton which tells everybody what’s what regarding: Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising Resources and Education. So they’ll be re-educated to think properly. Then they’ll be tossed in the deep end without water wings and will be forced to face up to their unacceptable behaviour via SCORRE. This program of re-programming deals with: Strength in Coaching on Relationships, Respect and Equality. “This program uses the bond between coaches and players to foster interactive dialogue...”

These kids are doomed to political correctness and risk drowning in unnecessary verbiage also. Isn’t, for example, dialogue - in and of itself - interactive? Or do they add the unnecessary word “interactive” because dialogue at PC universities and colleges these days is of indoctrination, of one-way speaking, of top down teaching, of a mindset that brooks no opposition in thought?

Meanwhile the poor guy just wants to know: which one is my starting lane? Or, when do I dive?

Did they bargain for all of this, paying some $41,000+ in tuition fees yearly, to hear what know-it-alls think is best for them? Yet Princeton’s Mission Statement touts its “...teaching of unsurpassed quality...” so, going in, a prospective candidate might think that education, not indoctrination, would be the order of the day, right?  Wrong!

Listen, who wouldn’t be bamboozled, and be willing to get their heads screwed on right by Princeton, should their sexual desires and racial theories go off the rails, because the university offers: “a human scale that nurtures a strong sense of community...” Nobody with half a brain (and let’s face it, that includes every young man living) is going to admit they have NO IDEA what that offering really means, so yeah - they’ll slink in the corner and will not complain when they have to get taught correct thoughts by a school that writes bafflingly. More bafflingly is the school pledging “to learn from the robust expression of diverse perspectives” so long as, one might presume, those perspectives coincide exactly with the prevalent PC Group Think.

Otherwise you and your team will be suspended.

Princeton has not only the Princeton’s men’s swimming/diving team by the balls but has all undergraduate students in its sights with a recommendation/bombardment from the GETF (Princeton’s General Education Task Force) that kids “...be required to take at least one course on structural inequality and the “intersections of culture, identity and power. Classes meeting that requirement would focus not just on diversity, the task force wrote, “but rather the complex ways in which aspects of cultural identity (such as race, gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic class, indigeneity, sexual orientation and religious identification) are connected to the expressions of power within both contemporary and historical social structures.”

Again, nobody - or better said - only a nobody, but an ivory tower inarticulate academic, can make sense of that sentence: mish-mash stew. It doesn’t even sound good on paper: but this is the mood at PU.

OK, enough poking fun at Princeton. No doubt the men acted like jerks. And no doubt they should learn respect for females and some regard for other races. But to suspend their season because they lusted or loathed women and lampooned other types of humanity, come on. Let them be shamed in debate, let them be laughed at on campus and shunned by former friends and family and let them be verbally cut up to shreds by the perpetually pissed off snowflakes, and ostracized by the eternally aggrieved, but let the season continue.

It solves nothing to shut it down. It may make Princeton administrators feel tough, let them strut like they are the cock of the walk, but it won’t do anything but build resentment among those suspended - and doesn’t deal with the age old problem that often men view women, in sexually inappropriate ways. Nor does it address the possibility that some innocents on the team may be harmed by this blanket punishment.

Speaking of inappropriate, the juvenile yahoos on Princeton’s men swim-and-diving team must be criticized – but perhaps most of our opprobrium should be held for the University of Minnesota’s football team with 10 of its members accused of gang-raping a woman. Even though no charges were brought due to a lack of physical evidence, the woman was, being drunk, taken advantage of - with at least one player video recording the happenings. The 10 have been suspended indefinitely and the lack of judgment and morality shown by these guys is mind-numbingly disgusting and atrocious.  

OK, back to ridiculing Princeton. This is a place that, in an effort to be inclusive, has had its HR Department ban the word “Man” among staff.” Like, ‘cause, you know, men only occupy about 2-3% along the sexual spectrum so who cares about them?
​
You know what? Princeton doesn’t need to distinguish itself with a men’s swimming and diving team. The place has already distinguished itself. It's all wet. 

Trump won. Democratic Party members, liberals, and lefties are pissed. They, plus the main-stream media, Hollywood, and academia: losers up and down the ticket - are losing it.

James Dearen writes for the Associated Press. His headline of November 11th was doomsday: How President Donald Trump Will Kill the Environment.

An angry Latino woman said we have to honor the air, then, seconds later, at her protest, a fire-smoke-faced effigy of Trump was lit. Protesters proved, while boosting noise pollution, that they could also chime - not my president.

Impetus behind the TV show, on a faux West Wing, Aaron Sorkin, regretted he couldn’t prevent this horror. Politically-left comedians, Stephen Colbert and Seth Meyers, did loser-no-clap monologues after finding out other folks don’t think their way.

Some Californians from a state that used to be – 55 years ago – an innovator – want to separate from the USA, aggrieved illegals aren’t feted. Trump should encourage the separation (but be mindful that other parts of California want to separate from those that revere illegals.) For sure Texas will be, as it has been for years now, the beneficiary of California’s brightest high-tailing to it.   
   
French ambassador to the USA, Gérard Araud, thought Trump’s win and the UK’s Brexit meant the world was collapsing, while Mexico is aghast at having countless of its citizens return. International diplomatic and economic heavyweight, Kenya, if scribe Macharia Gaitho is bang on, said the country would have to reassess its relations with the USA. 

American race baiter i.e. Democratic Party backer, Al Sharpton, compared Trump’s politics to that of Democratic Party, Alabama Governor, George Wallace’s.

Students and teachers of Berkeley High School chanted “Fuck Trump” as they careened about town. One slogan said “We ain’t gonna stop till our people are free.” Somehow sloganeers, free to write atrociously, and free to exercising their rights as cement-heads obviously, meant - conclusively - people weren’t free.
 
The Los Angeles Unified School District, thanks to taxpayers, got counseling for distraught (mentally disturbed?) students. Board President Steve Zimmer euphemistically called same “additional supports.” Steve described his schools as the anchors of our neighborhoods. (Did he, unintentionally “signal” they are dead weights?) He was also proud that teachers and school leaders listened to students. Parents, however, probably wanted students to listen to teachers - to learn not “liberal-thought-civil rights nonsense-rot gut ” but to discern non-political laws and theories - embodied in maths and sciences - commonsense stuff.

Some protestors thought it smart to block parts of the Hollywood Freeway the day after Trump’s victory. One 16-year old summed it up best/worst, saying they were “...trying to do something...” The student also admitted to being obsessed with trying to figure out what demographic groups supported which candidates.

The Muslim Brotherhood, an organization some countries define as a group of terrorists, called Trump a racist and said his win was a disaster for the Muslim world. (Up until Trump, of course, things had been hunky-dory for the Muslim world.)

Weirdly, or maybe not weirdly, considering it was MSNBC, that station had a headline on November 11th, that said Trump was either in debt or was running for re-election.

For dumbfounded (certifiable) Democrat supporters, certified therapy dogs – Golden Doodles, Eskimos, and at least one Heinz variety were, thanks go to the Human Animal Bond Research Initiative, Pet Partners, and the Pet Leadership Council AND the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council, brought into Washington to walk around the Cannon Office Building.

The University of Massachusetts Boston also served dogs up to simmer things down. An economics professor at Yale made his mid-term optional. Milpitas High School Principal Phil Morales was put on leave for allegedly swearing about The Donald. He’s worried about Mexicans and Muslims.

Whoopi Goldberg said much – most of it as clear as mud:  
“So it makes you not want to have the conversation…because what you make me feel like is I’m not — I’m not — what I’m saying doesn’t make any sense when I’m telling you this is why I feel like this and this is what’s happening and this is why.”

Amanda Marcotte is not happy. She termed Trump’s becoming President- a Misogyny Apocalypse.

MSNBC contributor, Anand Giridharadas, essentially blamed white guys for the mess liberals find themselves in. He said white people resented being mocked by the future...and he advocated doing more “George Orwell.”

Liar Brain Williams, now on MSNBC, lamented that Trump and the Republicans now have single party rule.  Brian, as is his wont however, couldn’t hold off from lying again when he said Trump won without women or minorities.

Author and MSNBC show host, Chris Hayes, a white guy, accused whites that supported white-guy Trump Republicans as being racists. Presumably they should have voted for white-woman, Hillary. Then all would have been ok. Senator Jeff Merkley from Portland said protests resulted from Trumpian attacks on virtually all aspects from society and declared the vacant Supreme Court seat was being stolen. He also thought deporting 11 million illegals was beyond the pale.

Gotta feel sorry for the Left. They’ve been sitting ducks, force fed through most American schools of what to think. They’ve been borne and brought up in an inculcation of liberal, politically correct orthodoxies. But - indoctrination is not education.

Though Trump, in some policy prescriptions is more liberal than Clinton, he’s not politically correct. He doesn’t believe whites are inherently privileged or inherently racist. He’s got nothing against Christians generally or evangelicals specifically – and this is anathema to Obama Democrats who believe Christians are to be scorned and taken to court. (They really like those from The Religion of Peace, however.)
​
So now the Left is left as deer in the headlights, looking at the Trump train coming in. Gotta be tough. They should take some solace, however. Their “elites” Huffington Post, Politico, VOX, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, and CBS (even Fox to an extent) have been humbled and stunned to a far greater degree. 

Democrats despise him, the Republican establishment loathes him, the mainstream media abhors him - which is why Trump wins.

Many Americans love him - more than they condemn Democrats, cuss Republicans, and chastise the mainstream media - which means a “Trump President” is a go.

Contrast The Donald’s prompt presence to Louisiana’s flood(s) to the mail-it-in-no-shows-of-the-don’t-wanna-go(es), you know, the Dems and dumber: Obama and Clinton.

The orange-haired guy visited Louisiana soon after the August 19, 2016 floods, a disaster the likes of Hurricane Katrina that, folks will recall, decimated not only New Orleans’s people and property - but denigrated George W. Bush’s political persona and personal profile as well.

Obama castigated Bush then - but now, with his golf ball in the bush, or certainly in the rough, at Farm Neck Golf Club in Martha’s Vineyard, he seemingly could care less than less about 60,000 homes being damaged due to 6,900,000,000 gallons of rain pelting that land.

His administration defended his nothingness response, nattering of his phoning Governor Edwards, extolling his declaring Louisiana a disaster, applauded his airmailing underlings Craig Fugate, FEMA Administrator, and Jeh Johnson, Homeland Security secretary, to check his lie – whether it be of the golf or gulf variety nobody can say...

Now in Obama’s defense – people insisting he come down there and (paraphrasing) “do something” should realize that B.O physically, isn't too manly; he could toss what, one sandbag tops? And without a teleprompter he’s pretty useless verbally too.

So give the guy a break. Let him relax, lounge around – for when he’s actually off the course and in the course of presidential duties, well, his latest good works was paying a $400 million ransom to Iran for four Americans’ freedom.

Moreover, everywhere the blowhard goes he creates a typhoon of problems – for his hosts. Back in 2014, Barack bopped into Belgium. For a night. The country still has nightmares about all of this. They were on the hook for some 10.4 million in security costs, then had to figure out where to house his gang of 900 and then had to ponder which bumper-car playground park could host, and garage his oh-so-necessary army of 45 armored vehicles.  

So perhaps Louisiana should feel blessed the great one passed on popping in. Coulda bankrupted the State...

Oops, the man visited for a around three hours on Tuesday August 23. All is well with the earth!
Oops, not exactly. Obama’s government loves to hector and pester Americans. So while Louisiana is mired in dismay, depression, and death various organizations sent out a “Guidance” saying they had better not be racists in the aftermath!

As for Hillary she phoned the governor and said to us she “stands with Louisiana” (up to the point of not getting her feet wet – which is why she called instead of came, and went to a fundraiser with Cher - instead of giving a hoot.)

Now, The Donald toured Louisiana shortly after the flooding. Folks there really appreciated it. And Trump has Clint Eastwood lending a somewhat sympathetic ear to his general mien – but CLEARLY - as, a recent Minnesota Trump rally shows, he does have boorish, thuggish detractors. And most of his detractors don’t want merely to detract him, via wiser thoughts and better theories; they want to redact him, via shutting Donald down, completely.

Sorry. No can do.

Figuratively flog him if you must, if you will, but to mute and silence him because you find his views repugnant isn’t on.

Cleveland’s the site where these Trump naysayers, including the Workers World Party, the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, the Resurrected Students for a Democratic Society, and the (Obama approved and lionized) Black Live Matters boosters, galvanized, to go about and shout why Donald should be silenced through and throughout.

America’s divided between the ruling elites and the common citizenry.

Trump believes in Americans, which upsets globalists in both the American Democrat and Republican parties. He’s uncontrollable, which drives the mainstream media crazy – because he “gets away with it.”

CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, even Fox – don’t think American blacks will vote for him. Why? Because their narrative insists blacks are a blob-Democrat-Party-voting bloc. (And blacks have, pretty much lately, voted for Democrat presidential candidates.) But because Trump will curb illegal aliens scooting their way into America via Mexico, blacks and Hispanics, who legally live in the USA, will vote for Donald because he respects their citizenry - and will protect their legal right to search for work, or keep their jobs, without having to compete with illegals.

And, if his speech in Dimondale, Michigan August 19th is any indication of the more insightful, more analytical, yet blunt and forceful Trump – which is total catnip to legal Americans – he will take a greater percentage of the puny 5% black vote that Romney had in 2012 against Obama. Currently Trump has 14.6% support amongst blacks.

And those same Blacks and Latinos will vote for Donald because he wants to restore law and order unlike some anti-Trump, totally wacky protestors who are pushing to abolish “... Police.” The latter would work out swell, huh?

Now some folks, because their heads were screwed on right, right from the get go: when they attended college and didn’t take Gender, or Marxist, or Diversity courses – all emphasizing how much the USA is the root of all evil – are smart enough to know, like The Donald does, that a country that can’t control its borders, and can’t stop its willy-nilly-treasonously-willingly acceptance of predominantly Muslim refugees and illegal aliens from countries south of the Rio Grande - - - is doomed.
​
Thus, a flood of reasons why Trump wins. 

Before we get into specifics as to why Donald Trump could beat Hillary for the presidency, let’s marvel at one amazing fact. The Donald will not only be battling the Democratic Party but the Republican Party too.

Say what you will about Trump, anybody who can raise the ire of the two major American political parties is catnip.

Here are his other pluses - five reasons as to why Trump could beat Clinton. (Most experts think she’ll probably beat him.)

1) With Donald’s anti-illegal-alien position, and his calling for a temporary ban on Muslims visiting or immigrating to America, all he needs is one major criminal/terrorist act from either group to separate him from politically-correct Hillary.

She, of course, is of the group and mindset who does not believe Islam has anything to do with ISIL, or with terrorism committed in the name of that religion. The latest outburst from the Religion of Peace is the bombings in Belgium that killed 31, while wounding 270 others.

She also thinks illegal aliens are A-OK in the USA. But she’ll have to defend horror stories like the one where four Guatemalan illegals are being held in Massachusetts, accused of gang rape. Sordid, preventable situations like this can only hurt Hillary and help Donald.

2) Hillary may end up facing criminal charges because of her email scandal. Hard to win when you’re heading for trial...

3) His main campaign theme “Make America Great Again” is a lot more compelling than her “Make America Whole Again.” (And let’s hope she means “whole” and not “hole.”)

4) Despite a lower official unemployment rate – which atrociously doesn’t take into account the millions of Americans who have given up looking for a job – most Americans are still feeling pinched in the wallet. Donald Trump has employed approximately 34,000 people in his various businesses. He has hands-on experience with creating jobs.

We know Hillary created at least one job. But, alas, the worker, Bryan Pagliano, to whom she allegedly paid $140,000 - so he could administer her private server for top secret State Department business - has been granted immunity from prosecution to spill the beans on her wayward ways. So she’s one and done (done in) in the employee stakes.

Thus, compared to Donald, her personnel decisions look abysmal. And Trump, don’t forget, has loads of successful executive management experience while Clinton has, um, Benghazi.

5) If Trump fights Hillary – he may win, lose, hard to say. As mentioned, most think she will win because she’s a woman, has a party behind her that is not fracturing like the GOP, has donors up the ying yang, and has the electoral “Obama coalition” to avail herself of.

But...

If Trump campaigns hard against Hillary, harder against the Republican Party establishment, even harder against donors, and, yes, harder still against CNN, MSNBC, FOX etc, and “elites” generally – he just might win. Many “average” Americans, whether Democrat, Independent, or Republican, are fed up with their leaders in politics, business, and in the media. They just might get a real kick out of Donald taking on all comers despite his being tagged as sexist and racist.

Now, how can people ignore all these perceived blots (and others not mentioned here) on, and of, his person? Frankly, as his millions of voters prove to date, they don’t care what he “is” – as defined by his detractors - they care what he will do.
​
And note: if he fights all the top brass in society, he’d be the underdog – a good position to be in - for America does love its underdogs.
 

Donald Trump is a blowhard breath of fresh air. Rightfully, he calls “undocumented workers” illegal aliens and rightfully he recommends Muslims intending to immigrate and visit the States - be temporarily barred - until the government can figure out what is going on.

His is a breath, a pause, which refreshes because remember, Obama’s government couldn’t run his health care website and wouldn’t tell the truth about his health care plan. So Trump’s skepticism of government abilities (and moralities) makes sense.

Now, Hillary, lately, she’s footloose and fancy free, playing cupid. Love for her, is the fixture, the cure. (Note: For Hillary “love” also means she won’t say that Bill’s a hound dog sexual-seeker pill.)

Her mentor and electoral tormentor, Obama – lately and languidly - he’s obtuse and fancy free, playing stupid, care free.  Love for he, is the elixir, the cure.
(Note:  Barack is a dearth of fresh air. Wrongfully, he can’t - won’t - say America’s biggest enemy are pious, Islamic Koran adherents.)

To Trump again.

He thinks, firstly, of America’s well being. Barack’s Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, thinks, firstly, of American Muslim feelings.

(Lynch and Obama, however, are mute to Saudi Arabia, that Sunni-Salafist country-caliphate, pondering whether to stone, and upset, feelings of a Sri-Lankan maid.)

Lefties lambaste Trump. But aren’t they all wet? They revere gays, putting ‘em on pedestals and loathe religions, yet they coddle Islam, which LOVES one religion and is severe about plans to plot gays six feet under.

The left is dense. The Donald makes sense.

Obama, Clinton and - seemingly 110% of university attendees and employees - side with Islam because they  deplore Judeo-Christian-founded-democratic-capitalistic-successful, merciful, magnificent, countries, like for example, Australia, Canada, and the USA.

But lefties, wake up:  

When push comes to shove, when Muslims’ make up and re-populate entities (like they are currently and inexorably) in Germany, Sweden, and the UK,

You lefty wussies, unwilling and unable to fight for yourselves, will be the first infidels to go.
OK. Sorry. All Jews will be the first to go - then the non-believer rest, Christians and other sub-humans, will get the jihad-subsequent heave ho.

To many (most) Americans, Trump is cathartic, a cool fresh breeze - a doer, unlike Barack, the brooder and a winner, unlike Hillary, the loser.

Trump and sentient citizens know a country can’t survive if interlopers and infiltrators are allowed to trod over citizenship laws, and its lands, holus bolus. And Trump, while suffering in polling against Hillary, will pick up many of her supposed votes - because those polled-votes are lying, still too somewhat embarrassed or reticent to admit they like what Donald says.

For the hardcore left, Trump is a demagogic, idiotic tool, a wispy-blond-orange-haired orangutan, a Hitler-like-against-American-values ghoul-fool -who drives them bonkers and batty.

Why?

Because he doesn’t back down and surrender to their limited range of thoughts, birthed in safe spaces like Yale U. (Scratch that. Yale, their students at least, have caught THE terrible terror threat, the beast: Halloween costumes!)

But ultimately, for us non-political or independent-voter beings, Donald Trump is seen as well and swell. Anyone who can piss off both the Democrats and Republicans is heaven sent.
Hey, the American and worldwide mainstream media will tell you Trump is a buffoon. They’ve been in the bag, for that old old-war-horse harridan hag, that “serious candidate” Hillary Clinton, a person so serious and sober she ran State Department emails through an unsecured server in her boudoir/closet/attic/crawl space that they can’t now grant Trump any grace.

Maybe that’s not a shock. How can they now bow, for a Donald who WOWS?

Yes, Trump is brusque, brash, risqué, and rude – but maliciousness doesn’t ooze from his pores. Obama, conversely, is deemed erudite but via executive orders, and willful malice, and wanton negligence - exampled by giving Iran 150 billion bucks though that country hasn’t signed a nuclear-anything, Obama’s non-compliance with existing laws and his total compliance with illegalities and unreality has him oozing unctuously, viciousness - at least towards Republicans - from every one of his pores.

For us dough heads – us undecided – we’re in a pickle. Neither party is worth a plugged nickel in solutions, sense, ethics, or recompense so we, the great unwashed, are somewhat unabashed, seeing Trump as the brash triumphant leader among GOP RINO’S.

Donald is at bat, has money to campaign deep. He’s said to be short on advisers but, uh, what good has Hillary’s paid staff, numbering around 350 or so, done for her??? Donald puts his dough where his mouth is and though he’s uncouth as all get out, he beats the snot out of the Beltway rot.

Months back Ann Coulter, best-selling author on American political culture - faced derision from other pundits on the Bill Maher show when she said Trump’s the GOP’s best chance and choice. Another guest, Joyce Reid, scoffed. Ann took the umbrage stoically, and when the audience hooted in disgust, took their opinions stoically too.

And she’s still right if poll prognostications as of December 18th, 2015 are right...

Trump’s labeled as a fool by Democrats, a party of rats that lionize, to this day, a cruel party-hearty-watery mockery of a man, one Teddy Kennedy, the drowner and downer of an unwilling and unknowing campaign volunteer, Mary Jo-Kopechne. Democrats should be quiet...

Absolutely, Trump tries one’s patience, but, patronizingly, Hillary tries one’s accents. Donald constructs big edifices, Hillary glosses over Bill’s big erections. She also avers big businesses don’t create jobs.

Donald can negotiate, Hillary can prevaricate. She lies  like a rug.  
​
Trump will walk all over her.

Radical Muslims slaughtered 129 innocents in Paris and President Obama chalked it up to “extremism”, not radical Islam.

Is the President dense, in denial, delusional, or a liar? Let's go with liar - recall he lied about his own health plan.

Why does “BO” “BS?” A compelling theory as to why he lies and glosses over extremist Muslim atrocities is because he’s angling for the UN Secretary-General job and he needs to be a toady to Islam if he wants the 57 members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to back him.

It would be nice if the president could see the Muslim-macabre elephant in the room - instead of declaring the elephant, irrelevant, but the Secretary-General position fits. It’s a useless job, and he’s been useless, so he should do well - by United Nations standards.

For those that believe that Islam, 100% is swell, and that “terrorism knows no religion" how do they square the fact that ISIS stands for: Islamic State? It’s a shame such people, usually on the left, can’t connect the dots.

Obama, and other Americans in the Democratic Party blithely, insanely, or naively, assume that the name is a false flag; ISIS, in no way, is acting in an Islamic way.

(Note to all: ISIS is but one of a myriad of Muslim-terrorist groups that loathe Jews 1st, Christians 2nd, all other infidels 3rd - and non-correct Muslims 4th.)

Lefties - academics, liberals, progressives - always harp on us heathen regressives about how dumb we are. Geez, we ignoramuses should aspire to be smart, like Bernie Sanders, who, in the Saturday demo-party debate, said weather (climate change) was the biggest world worry, despite knowing of the Friday Paris Islamic-terrorist strikes.

Al-Azhar is a mosque/university, tethered in Cairo. It’s an A-list intellectual institution, so far as Sunni thoughts go. And in December, 2014 they said they don’t consider ISIS apostates but also said ISIS was NOT in lock-step with mainstream Muslims mores.

But not surprisingly, mainstream media stupidly took either the politically correct route, or the scaredy cat route, in giving radical Islam a pass for the Paris debacle.

Reuters pussy footed around, proffering non-defined gunman and bombers as culprits. The Canadian Broadcasting Network cited ISIS first, Marine Le Pen second, and the American Republican Party third, as concerns, in its initial take. Slate Magazine pondered: Why France Again, then talked tactics with “Urban warfare” tritely brandished and bandied up...

What?

NBC News missed the putt. They were flummoxed “...unknown motivations.” The UK Guardian surmised: “It is possible that the targets hit last night were chosen to send a particular message.”

You don’t say...

France 24 quoted the Islamic State’s bragging, but euphemized them as “militants” not terrorists.

Even French President Francois Hollande didn’t get it right in his reaction – though he could be excused of being a bit shell shocked as he was at the soccer game during the jihadists killing fields action – when he vowed to wage a "merciless" fight against terrorism.

Every thinking person knows the amorphous “terrorism” is useless as a description because it doesn’t pin point the source(s) or rationale(s) behind it. Are the Baptists or the Methodists to blame? Or possibly the secularists or atheists? As Bill Maher would say, it’s probably not the Amish.

Barack talked of the “universal values we all share.” It’s a throwaway line of his, and it’s totally wrong in ALL contexts. There are NO universal, planetary, global, local, or yokel values our world holds in unity. The Islamic terrorists, blowup-job-atrocitists, who wasted themselves and razed and ruined scores of others’ lives, share nothing of western, first world - Judeo-Christian – you know, decent - beliefs, credos, or values.

Barack, however, says he wants to help.

Excellent.

Start at home.
​
Shout out Malik Hassan’s Fort Hood massacre as an act of terror. Right now your administration, in egregious error, calls it “workplace violence.”

Back to France. Despite the latest carnage there, it seems that that country, inexorably, if somewhat initially unwittingly, or unknowingly, is going to replace Gallic with Islamic, thanks to their acceptance of Islamic peoples via immigration and to those Islamic folks having high birth rates once settled.

Germany, in 40 years or so, could be a majority-Muslim country.
Merkel probably feels guilty for Nazi evils and thinks drowning Germanic peoples in Muslim cultures is the way to pool resources.

Until France, Germany, Sweden – no forget Sweden, their Islamic nuts are pretty happy with the Paris plot - America, and Canada - under the newly elected Justin Trudeau - admit publicly, that the battle is against radical Islamic-Muslim elements, such travesties in the west, third world - and Muslim-majority countries - will continue – despite UK’s David Cameron declaring Islam is a religion of peace.

British Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, warned of a rush to judgment, and then warmed to a rush of judgment - saying multiculturalism was wondrous...

French President Hollande said the attack was from elements outside of France, though at least five of the eight terrorists were French nationals. There are an estimated 1.7 million Muslims in the greater metropolitan Paris area. How many of these people are disaffected or disappointed in the French model?

How many would resort to, or abet, or silently support, terrorism against fellow citizens due to discrimination, French actions in Syria, or perceived decadence of the West-French?

27%.
That’s the percentage that approves of ISIS, in France, in the 18-24 year old group, regardless of religious affiliation, according to a poll taken in 2014.

For Barack Obama, however – in 2015 - he went as extreme as he could go – saying:
Paris was a setback.
 

We’re talking SUGAR DADDY syndrome. In reverse. How else to explain why every four years - so many quasi-normal democratic leaders and so many quintessentially-delusional autocratic dictators spend billions on old, rich, corruptible men and sexy athletic games?

We’re talking about the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the Olympics, and bidders “Johns”– a greasy spooning, sleazy concoction if there ever was one. With respect to the IOC, there have never been a more swelled-in-self-regard bigger bunch of cads than they. With respect to the bidders, for years they’ve had their proverbial head up their a-s. Call ‘em headlass.

Even Norway, whose international bona fides with the Nobel Peace Prizes is legion, and who has a King Harald, a member of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg – who could -presumably - relate to the many Royal Highnesses on the IOC - has had enough. No IOC and no 2022 winter sled-fest aristocrat mess for them. They dropped out of the bidding contest.

Lord almighty, it could be Almaty. That’s in Kazakhstan. Or it could be Beijing. That’s in smog. These are the only two who will prostrate themselves enough for the IOC dignitaries to - as is their wont and want - spelunk in.  

Nobody can say the IOC doesn’t do it their way but, unlike Elvis Presley who sang “My Way” their public performances are without crowd-first emphasis, without taste, without style, without grace.

For what have they done to the Olympic Games? They've made it ruinously expensive going in and left the host country with cheap ruins going out. Greece hosted the summer Olympics in 2004. The Parthenon looks more current and kempt than do the unkempt - flourishing with weeds, shrubs, and trees - volleyball and baseball venues. The bottom of the diving pool looks like a college dorm floor after a hemp bender. Granted, the IOC can’t be responsible for babysitting facilities after the curtain goes down, but it could stop encouraging bids from countries that can’t afford ear wax, let alone Olympic Games.

But given that only China and Kazakhstan are behind the red rope, it might be fitting for the IOC to add taunting to their tray of terrible traits. Sing it loud and proud (mimicking Elvis’ last song sung live) to these two tyrannies:  “Are you Lonesome Tonight.”

IOC President Thomas Bach was a gold-medalist Olympic fencer back in ’76. If anyone can diplomatically parry, it’s he, and he isn’t freaking yet. ‘Cause hey, via the “Olympic Agenda 2020” the IOC opines that perhaps bidding countries could have a say on the games’ goings on. That’s a concept...

So, it’s rock on, Almaty! Almaty, in Kazakh, means: “the place where apples grow.” Their official website looks good enough for apples, and maybe for the 2022 Olympics. The CIA describes the country’s natural resources as “vast.” So it’s not a basket case going in like Greece almost was, and now is.

40% of the city’s population is under 24 years of age. The Kazakh website depicts more than 50% of them as being “economically active.” Perhaps economically active sounds more promising in Kazakh...For sake of argument ignore Almaty’s KIMEP University’s assertion that 100,000 people in Kazakhstan die each year because of air pollution – 20% of whom live in Almaty - because the country has cold winters – a help if one wants to have skiers shushing around town. Sochi, Russia, had six days in the Fahrenheit 60’s for its competition. There were puddles at the bottom of ski runs. It was the warmest winter Olympics on record. Why did the IOC pick a near-tropical climate Sochi to host the games again? Maybe three of Putin’s pals who, as Max Seddon of BuzzFeed News reports, were awarded contracts totaling $15 billion, put Putin up to this.

Putin’s Puttin’ On The Sochi Ritz Glitz Olympics purportedly cost over 50 billion bucks, and the lives of a lot of stray dogs who had the temerity to be caught living at the time. That’s a lot of dough and dog for a 16-day show. And now, for example, the Alpine-hosting town Rosa Khutor is abandoned.

Bet with reckless abandon on Almaty to take the Olympics. China just had the summer ones, so it might look better if the Olympics were spread around. Also, the IOC likes unaccountability so it might like the likes of President Nazarbayev – who is President for life and can hold office for eternity - so long as he wins pesky elections. The last one he won was a nail-biter-win-by-a-nose ordeal. He squeaked in with a miniscule 95.5% in 2011.

Seriously, if any leader can coerce a populace to his Olympic pretensions it’s this strongman, who has his own educational pipeline with the Nazarbayev Intellectual Schools system. Perhaps he can singlehandedly muscle back what could be a messy problem. The official website describes Almaty as “... a true mountain town with 4,000m high peaks literally flowing into the city." Shovel, anyone?

And let’s call a spade a spade. Nazarbayev has bags under his eyes. He might work for a living, unlike Vlad-the-bad-farcical-face-job Putin whose visage is weirder than a Cyclops with two eyes and calls it work when he picks fights with defense-less countries like Georgia and the Ukraine. (Why couldn't Putin, with his rumored 70 billion dollars stashed away, spring for plastic surgeons that had, at least, hand-held mirrors?)

Got off track a tad…

Let us close by reading the Book of Genesis, an about 58-page effort which portrays how a planet and people are created. Not your cup of tea? Make it be, because the alternative is to pour through the 7,000 page IOC Manual where protocol and pomp are detailed dealing with how IOC bloviators are to be cosseted on the Olympic circuit, away from their headquarters in Switzerland. That headquarters, by the way, resembles a mausoleum, except there - - - ethics go to die.
