THE ALEXANDRIA DAILY POOP'S ANNUAL REVIEW OF 2017, PREDICTIONS FOR 2018 AND IDIOT OF THE YEAR FOR 2017

2017 was the year in which we finally regained a real patriot in the White House in the form of President Donald John Trump.  He inherited a tough nut to crack but immediately set about undoing the idiotic legacy which the previous occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest had been allowed to accumulate during the 8 years of his residency. 

It has not been easy for President Trump, as there exists a group known as "The Washington Establishment"; a group consisting of both Democrats and Republicans who consider themselves members of an elite "club" who consider themselves alone qualified to lead this nation. This little cabal of morons have ceaselessly worked to block and obstruct Mr. Trump.  Trump, however, is (like Ronald Reagan) a former Democrat and he has read the playbook. As a result, nothing they have done has worked.  Trump just does not respond according to the script the Establishment has written.  He's a New York real estate developer. He's dealt with thugs for years.  

And thugs his opposition have been.  From Day One, almost before he was sworn in there has been a steady drumbeat of talk about impeachment over first some alleged "collusion" with Russia and a "hack" of our vote-counting system and then allegations that he sexually assaulted women. In order to facilitate this, the Establishment Democrats threw many of their own - including notorious philanderer Bill Clinton and his enabling spouse - "under the bus".  

But since it was revealed that a member of the Special Prosecutor's team (appointed to investigate "Russiagate" but having failed at that now investigating anything which might lead to something (anything) which might lead to Trump's impeachment) had been an anti-Trump partisan and a Hillary supporter (and who remains so) had spoken of running exactly such a partisan "investigation" as an "insurance policy" in case Trump won;  coupled with the fact that the entire Special Prosecutor's task force is comprised entirely of anti-Trump pro-Hillary partisans, We the People are hollering for SC Mueller's scalp. Lamestream drive-by media outlets have been for weeks breathlessly saying that Mr. Trump "denies planning to fire" Special Counsel Mueller.  The implication is of course that Trump in reality is waiting for the right time to do so. 

President Trump of course knows that he need not do anything but let the corrupt nature of this blatant attempt to unseat him be made manifest to the public.  Eventually the investigation will have to turn toward Hillary and Obama and the corrupt uranium deals and Obama's greasing the skids on the Iranian Nuclear "Agreement" by going easy on Hezbollah when we could have cut the terror group off at the knees. Somebody is going to prison over that, and it won't be a Republican. Obama may just end up to be the first former occupant of the White House to end up breaking rocks in the yard at Leavenworth. 

2017 was the first full year of the Second American Civil War.  This is not a quasi-orderly war as was the first civil war; with States forming alliances against other States.  This war is being fought not as the first one was fought in the Shenandoah Valley, with massed troop formations and cavalry charges. It is being fought as the first one was fought on the Kansas-Missouri border, with random violence such as the Leftist nutbar who shot up a baseball field in Alexandria, VA and damned near killed House Majority Whip Steve Scalise in an effort by the shooter to kill as many Republican lawmakers as possible.  Groups like the "Alt Right" slug it out with other mobs like BLM and "Antifa".  This is likely to get worse before it gets better. 

In the face of these challenges, President Trump has managed to tear down much of the regulatory tyranny imposed by his predecessor. In the tax bill signed just before Christmas, Mr. Trump eliminated the hated "Individual Mandate" which dictated to Americans just how much health insurance they MUST buy and in what form and from whom. 

The reason the Left hates President Trump is because his ascendancy to the White House signals the death knell of the 100 year effort of the fascist Left to reduce the citizenry under absolute despotism.  Just when the election of Hillary Clinton would have likely clinched the total control of America and her people for at least another century, Trump came along and kicked over their applecart.  

GOOD.

President Trump has come along to protect this country and our Constitution just in time. Praise God for President Trump.  

AND NOW, THE EVENT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR; THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE ALEXANDRIA DAILY POOP'S SELECTION OF 2017'S 

IDIOT 

OF

THE 

YEAR

2017! 

Most years since we began this custom, the first nominees (who are chosen monthly, then quarterly, then semi-annually and eliminated in the December Finals).  This year however we found ourselves in a quandry. The two finalists were so exquisitely qualified as idiots that we had a hard time making up our mind.

For newcomers, the rules (which may be waived by us at any time) are:

1. The IDIOT OF THE YEAR is not chosen from among nationally famous people doing nationally recognized idiotic things. The "winner" is chosen from among people I have had contact with in the course of my profession of cab-driving.  The nominee can be a passenger, a mechanic who worked on my vehicle, a store clerk who sold me a part.  Except in very unusual cases the nominee cannot be a bad driver I have encountered. Those are as common a dog poop. 

2. The nominee must have done, said or bragged about something - an act, a line of reasoning, a philosophy, an attitude, etc. - which displays a degree of idiocy grossly incommensurate with the nominee's education or station in life. The guy who (years before we started this award) called us to unlock his car door and who paid us and signed a civil release in advance; and wanted his money back when we reached inside his open window and retrieved his keys (and called the police when we refused to return the money) is one example. He was a high-powered trial lawyer who, upon reaching his house and realizing he could not get in because he did not have his keys flip-phoned the cab company and sat on his porch waiting. 

3. The nominee CANNOT be "mentally challenged".  The idiocy displayed must be the nominee's fault. 

4. The nominee CANNOT be intoxicated when I have the encounter. In the competition for "Idiot of the Year"  intoxicating substances and alcohol are "performance enhancing drugs" and are outlawed. Boasting while sober about an act done when the nominee was intoxicated however is qualifying. 

This year's choice was difficult, mainly because the finalist nominees displayed idiocy from opposite ends of the spectrum.

Finalist #1 is a young lady who told us she couldn't wait for the much-vaunted "driverless car" to come into common use because "I hate to have to think about what I'm doing".  Yes, this college-educated dumbass actually said that.  

Finalist#2 is an older woman who said she would eliminate the criminal justice system and process because they "don't work". This nitwit said she believes that the solution is to immediately set up a government agency to monitor parenting and "step in" when necessary.  

And so our choice is between a youngster who wishes to remain voluntarily clueless and ignorant and an older battleaxe who thinks she is smart enough to rid the world of crime by forcing people to raise kids by government diktat. 

In the end it wasn't really all that hard. Part of the premise of this award is that we don't as a rule name nationally known people but rather the Common American Dumbass, since it is the idiocy of the common idiot which enables the idiocy perpetrated by the major idiots.  We also don't usually name names.  These people know who they are.  

And so, Ms. I-don't-want-to-think, YOU are the recipient of the Alexandria Daily Poop's IDIOT OF THE YEAR award for 2017!

Young lady, we are starting to wonder if all you millennials are complete idiots. Your co-finalist's views on crime prevention by childhood government intervention are appalling. But her ilk will soon take over our lives unless you and others like you start doing some very real and intense thinking about what you are doing and what is going on.  At a minimum get your Fallopian tubes tied so you don't pass your DNA on to another bunch of imbeciles.  You, madame, are a fucking goddamned IDIOT.

PREDICTIONS FOR 2918 

Things will get off to a rousing start as the stock market experiences a correction and drops 5,000 points to 20,000. Never mind that that's still MUCH higher than it ever was under Obama and not really even that much proportionate to the 25,000 it is at as of this writing; the anti-Trump left will milk it to the max.  

The Left will need to milk it to distract attention from the Special Counsel's investigation which will start to turn aggressively toward the Clintons, which is why Trump didn't fire Mueller in the first place. Mueller has been digging a dandy grave, and it's just about the right size for the Democrat Party. 

Just as the Dems are at full throttle about the "stock market crash" the Dow will come roaring back as investors rush to buy the newly less-expensive stocks.  By July Hillary Clinton and several FBI officials will be under Federal indictment and the Arkansas Attorney General will be examining re-opening the Juanita Broderick rape case against Bill Clinton. 

Korean fat butt dictator and international pain in the ass Kim Jong Un will be deposed come August in a coup d'etat by the Nork military sponsored by China. China will be motivated by Trump's threat to pay off our debt by having the Treasury just squirt out a billion more dollars. 

"The Wall" will be built, with construction starting in October. In places it will not be a wall per se, but rather a trench with multiple layers of razor wire on each side and explosives in the earth below to cause tunnels to collapse. The Border Patrol will be given much more latitude including an expanded permission to use lethal force. 

In September Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will either die or be forced into retirement due to frail health.  Trump will then appoint the fifth guaranteed conservative Justice; ensuring that his revolution will last for another 50 years. 

In November the Republicans will pick up every open seat in the Senate and in the House will fail to pick up only the seats from New York and Minnesota and those held by the poltroons who call themselves the "Congressional Black Caucus".  

It's gonna be a GREAT year, at least it will be if you are not an American Statist Progressive (ASP).  If you are, then planes leave here daily. Get the fuck on one and don't come back.  Happy New Year, you maggots.  You lost.

CHRISTMAS 2017

This night is Christmas Eve, and kids all across the region are watching "The Grinch" and trying to get sleepy so Santa will come. A couple of friends of mine are recently separated, but they will be spending this blessed evening together with the kids; and we hope the occasion will give them some needed hope. 

But as we sing about the "Little Town of Bethlehem" where the Savior was born, what everyone is talking about is the Israeli City of Jerusalem where He died and was resurrected. Just last week, President Trump finally recognized what everyone knows but have been averse to acknowledge: JERUSALEM IS THE NATIONAL CAPITAL OF ISRAEL.  

This is an important event in the ministry of our Savior whose birth we celebrate tonight and tomorrow. This was prophesied both in the Old Testament and by Jesus Himself. The fig tree is in full leaf now; and the fruit (His Second Coming) is very near to come. 

We wonder sometimes if His mother Mary knew that "This child that you delivered would soon deliver you". And did the Magi know that the gifts they brought to The Manger were besides the gold spices used for embalming a corpse? 

Actually Jesus was born sometime in mid-spring. The shepherds would not be standing around with their flocks in the middle of a December night, the flocks would have been indoors and so would the shepherds have been. But it is so appropriate to celebrate His birth on a day after the darkness began to give way to the light. In so doing we Christians celebrate not only His birth but also His mission. 

And so God rest you merry on this blessed and holy day.

BITCOIN, SCHMITCOIN.

Gracious me, we certainly have been hearing quite a bit about the so-called "cryptocurrency" called "Bitcoin" lately, haven't we? We were lured into subscribing to a new E-mag called "AMERICAN CONSEQUENSES" mostly on the strength of one of the founders of the publication being P.J. O'Rourke; who is an American satirist who has had great influence on us. 

Alas. we have only received two issues of the complete magazine.  P.J.'s articles have displayed all of the unique qualities of the Irish-American satirist he is famous for. But then he began sending "special bulletins" urging us to look into the "Cryptocurrency" called "Bitcoin".  Now lately I have been getting "bulletin" after "bulletin" from AMERICAN CONSEQUENSES concerning the advisability of "investing" in "Bitcoin".

So what exactly is "Bitcoin"?

Good fucking question. 

From what I know, sometime back in the early 2000s some guy who called himself Imaso Fulloshita (or something) came up with the idea of creating a unique series of ones and zeroes in sequence and called it a "bitcoin"  Only so many "bitcoins" are in existence, many or most of them trapped in virtual "veins" that can be "mined" by anyone who has 7 or 8 Cray supercomputers linked together and enough money to pay for a day or two's output of the electricity produced by the Hoover Dam to run them. 

Or, you can buy "Bitcoins" if you have the multiple tens of thousands of dollars they are touted as being worth. The means of doing so is complex and your purchase is stored in a "virtual wallet" protected by a "secure password" which, if lost or forgotten means you lose everything. And, let's not even mention, "Secure Password" is increasingly an oxymoron. 

As to making transactions in "Bitcoin", these are recorded in a public ledger called a "Blockchain", whatever the fuck that is. And it's supposedly secure because blah, blah blah arglebargle flap doodle horsecrap. Naturally whole businesses such as :PayPal and others have adopted mechanisms for accepting this "crypto" (ie: private fiat) currency as payment. 

The whole thing seems to me as an overly-complicated way to store and transmit value based on an imagined product that somebody will soon be able to counterfeit using a simple device such as the laptop computer I have been writing this on. 

On the other hand, CASH, the medium that I prefer for all transactions that can be made in person, can be made as secure as "Bitcoin" by lief of modern devices such as holigraphy and microprinting. Wanna steal my cash? look at the masthead of this blog. See that weapon? 

I admit that I don't understand the ins and outs of the Federal Reserve System. But I do understand that if something costs two bucks and I have five bucks in my wallet, then if I get that thing I will have three bucks left, with which I can buy a gallon of gasoline with change left over; and not have to check three or four web sites to find this out. 

Rule one of money: KEEP IT SHORT AND SIMPLE. I have never had cash declined. I have never had anyone tell me they didn't understand why their cash was worthless because they put cash into it that afternoon. I have never been scammed by someone swiping their "credicks card" and then pressing "Print receipt" twice,leading me to believe I had had my device accept a payment.  

In fine, the possibilities of scams and fraud existing already in the "plastic economy" being currently foisted upon us are compounded in the world of Bitcoin. Fuck cards and "crypto currencies" PAY IN CASH. It's easier to understand.

THE WORST WASTE OF MONEY CHRISTMAS GIFT EVER

What costs nearly $2,000, gets you nowhere, takes up too much space and nobody uses? 

For our money it's the "Peloton" stationary exercise bike with an attached TV screen and either canned or live sessions with "New York's best instructors and thousands of others riding with you" in a virtual "training session".   

WHO NEEDS A BIKE THAT GOES NOWHERE AND A DAMNED COACH EXHORTING YOU TO RIDE? 

Us, we have a Fuji 21 speed hybrid mountain bike in excellent condition that we got for two hundred bucks in a pawnshop years ago. On our days off we ride it to the store or down into Old Town Alexandria or maybe on the trail to Mt Vernon. Thus we are not a big old fat-butt garbage gut cab driver. 

We also don't run like a hamster on a wheel, which is about what riding a hyper-priced stationary bicycle is. We believe in integrating exercise into our day-to-day routine.  If we are going to be exerting ourselves, it's best we be doing something useful and/or fun while we do it. 

So please DON'T get us a "Peloton".  Give us the money instead, and we'll ride to wherever we plan to spend it. A Peloton will go straight to the pawn shop.  Thank you.

CORRUPT DEMOCRAT SLEDGEHAMMER SLAMS ALABAMA SPECIAL ELECTION

As we write this, various political commentators are (and have been all day) picking apart the election held yesterday in Alabama to fill the Senate seat opened by the departure of Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions as he took the post of United States Attorney General.  Republican Roy Moore lost to his opponent Democrat Doug Jones by a razor thin margin. Moore has not conceded and states that he will request a recount.

The Republican primary for this election was won by Judge Roy Moore.  With a Republican poised to give Republicans 52 seats in the Senate, the Democrat smear machine kicked into overdrive. within weeks it was found that Moore in his 30s apparently had a taste for romancing teenagers who were older than Alabama's legal "age of consent" of 16.  Then and under dubious circumstances a woman was found who claimed she had been "sexually assaulted" by Moore when she was 14 years of age. Although the criminal and civil statutes of limitation have since expired, such an act would have been considered a serious felony under Alabama law.

All hell broke loose.

We will not here recount every last detail of this story as we are sure it has been discussed to death. But it has been our position here at the Alexandria Daily Poop that since there had been no outcry for 40 years until Moore looked poised to take a seat in the Senate, this fact alone in our opinion puts this woman's story in grave doubt. Moore's admission of his penchant for teenagers as a 30 year old however gave just enough credence to the story to add fuel to the fire. The Democrat hatchet men went looking for more stories.  

Some of these stories were quite salacious, but most were false involving for instance an incident in a parking lot which parking lot never existed. One woman however claimed Moore had signed her high school yearbook and had written some semi-sleazy comment there. When Moore denied having done this and when Republicans began demanding an independent handwriting analysis, famous political ambulance chaser and professional public spectacle Gloria Alred inserted herself into the case.

Despite Alred's interference, the woman was forced to admit she had forged Moore's writings beneath his signature. This event in our opinion put the stake in the heart of this smear. But the Democrats found an ally in - of all people - a Republican.

Senator Richard Shelby, concerned about the "child molestor' label that Democrats would hang on every Republican who supported Moore urged Alabamans to write in "a Republican" without naming any one specific one. This quote found its way into ads by Democrat front groups, some purporting to be "concerned Republicans".   When the votes were tallied, the margin of victory closely matched the write-in votes. 

One Senate seat can be of enormous consequence. This election was isolated and this enabled the full force of the Democrat political machine to be concentrated on one state.  Even so, the only reason Roy Moore is not the Senator-Elect today is because the Democrats got the other Republican senator scrambling to avoid a perceived stain on the reputation of the Party. 

We believe that to avoid Senate elections which become public circuses, the 17th Amendment to our Constitution ought to be repealed and Senators rather be elected as prescribed originally: by the State legislatures, who would had this been in effect yesterday been able to recall an errant Senator at will. Smear campaigns would be less effective and the general public would have more incentive to take an interest in their State legislatures. It is damn time that it be made much more difficult for people from out of state to whip the residents of a state into a frenzy in order to get a Senator more to the liking of any one national group into office..

PEARL HARBOR DAY: 76TH ANNIVERSARY

Two days ago came the 76th Anniversary of the Japanese sneak attack on Pearl Harbor which threw the United States headlong into the deadliest conflict the world has ever seen. 

Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was the architect of the attack, which he objected to; saying "I can run wild in the South Pacific for six months. After that..." 

Yamamoto knew whereof he spoke. He was American educated at Harvard and had seen the expanse of this nation and its resources. He also knew the American character. Nevertheless he followed his orders and carried out the dastardly deed. 

We declared war on Japan, and in response Hitler and Mussolini declared war on us (although the treaty under which Hitler declared war only required him to do so if Japan were attacked by us).

During the course of the war we found out where Yamamoto was going to be on a date certain and sent a squadron of American P-38 fighters after his plane. They caught up to him somewhere around Bougaineville and Isoroku Yamamoto wound up burning to death in the shot-up wreckage of his Mitsubishi "Betty" bomber/transport.

In May of 1944, about 6 months short of four years after Pearl Harbor we and our allies accepted the unconditional surrender of Nazi Germany. Three months and two very famous nuclear detonations later Japan gave up. 

Sixty years later, on September 11 2001 we were again attacked by surprise, with the death toll being approximately the same. This present war has lasted much longer than four years, mostly because a pack of hand-wringing wimps has managed to prolong it by emphasizing the need to avoid insulting THE ENEMY. 

Here's an idea: treat the present enemy like we treated the enemy in 1941. THEN after we beat them into submission maybe we could be pals, like we are with Japan today. But not before, and don't give me that crap about how we can't do that anymore. This is war, and these hand=wringing wimps are seditionists at best. Lock them up and then get busy cleaning up. 

(We apologize for not posting this on December 7th, but circumstances prevented it.)

A TRULY AWESOME GOD!

Today I was reading the Bible about King Hezikiah being at the point of death having asked the prophet Isaiah to plead with the LORD to extend his life. The LORD agreed to extend Hezekiah's life by fifteen more years; and as evidence offered to turn the shadow of the sundial back fifteen degrees (about half an hour)  and then did so. 

Now, if God had accomplished this by bringing the earth to a sudden stop, backing up its rotation on its axis by half an hour, stopping it yet again and speeding it up to normal again; the lawyers would still be trying to come up with some way of suing Him for whiplash and property damage.  

Now there are lots of Christians who think that God simply suspended the Laws of Physics to accomplish this (and this is not the only time in the Bible that God made time to stand still, advance or reverse; and surely He is capable of anything). 

However we believe that God simply took hold of the entire rest of the universe and moved it around the Earth until the sun had backed up half an hour's worth.  And He said it was a minor thing to Him. 

Our God is an awesome God, and worthy to be praised.

THANKSGIVING 2017

NOVEMBER 23 2017

2227 HOURS

I worked/catnapped from about 6 yesterday morning until about noon today and did okay; about three hundred something. I had planned something special for this year: the Golden Corral buffet, which I have heard is pretty good. But I got there just at 4:30 PM and they had just closed. This is too bad since I had to drive more than 40 miles to get there (it's in Fredericksburg). Rats. So Thanksgiving dinner was a turkey and stuffing bowl at the Fredericksburg WaWa.  Not bad but still...

I did get a chance to estimate how early I'd have to rise if I moved to Dumfries as I am planning to. It'd be at least an hour's commute. But on the flip side it's much more rural than this traffic clogged mess I make my living in. 

I started out pissed off as hell at the boneheads who run Alexandria and are ruining the taxi industry with all their so-called "improvements". But over dinner - which I ate in the cab - I realized once I counted my blessings that I really on the whole and all things considered don't have all that much to bitch about.

This post was going to be a lot longer and more thoughtful. But I am tired, folks, and need my beauty sleep. 

I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving and no arguments about the stupid politics for just one day. The old tryptophan is kicking in now. As Red Skelton used to say: "Good night, and may God bless".

THE PHONY "MOORE SCANDAL"

Despite the current Democrat dancing in celebration of the apparent success of that Party's efforts to turn the Commonwealth "Blue", nationally they are reeling from reports of Hillary Clinton's perfidy and a plethora of other ills coming to light. 

Elsewhere in the nation the Dems are losing big. And it would be a major blow to the Democrat Party to have the likes of Judge Roy Moore elected to the United States Senate, which until last week he seemed poised to attain by a landslide. 

Then - Oh, Miracle of Miracles - a now 50ish woman has come forward with claims that Moore made "sexual advances" toward her when she was 14. 

As "Church Lady" Dana Carvey used to say: "Well. Isn't that con-VEEN-ient?"

Too damn convenient to pass the smell test. She said she told her momma and they both have been living in fear of the powerful Judge Moore for the last 40 years. But NOW, when Moore is at the peak of his power, they blabber to the press??

And "establishment Republicans" (who have a vested interest in protecting their little club) have chimed in with their Democrat "enemies" in calling for Moore to step down. Several of them have even gone so far as to say that the "burden of proof" is on Judge Moore to prove this scurrilous accusation is false. 

This allegation is as transparent as the toilet paper in an Amtrak station restroom, which is where it belongs.  

Alabamans, vote Roy Moore for United States Senator from Alabama. We wonder how many hundred dollar bills James Carville had to drag through Alabama before he came up with this bimbo.

A LITTLE HUMOR ABOUT OUR SERVICE SONGS

You guys know about our service songs. I think the Marines have the coolest one: You know, the one about fighting "From the Halls of Montezuma to the Shores of Tripoli" and being "First to fight". Hell. Is there anything in the world of military music more stirring than "Semper Fidelis" or "The Stars and Stripes Forever"? You had John Philip Sousa. Marine Corps martial music is indeed the world's finest.

The Army's service song is great, too; although it was originally "The Caissons go Rolling Along". Evidently nobody knows what a "cassion" is anymore (It's a horsedrawn artillery ammo chest) however; so now it's the Army that goes rolling along. 

I can't say I see anything overtly military about the Navy's theme "Anchors Away", but it does take some 'nads to hoist anchor and go sailing into harm's way. 

Which brings us it would seem to the anthem of MY branch, the United States Air Force. 

The anthem, "Wild Blue Yonder" happens to be the only service anthem that mentions the possibility of DEFEAT!

According to that gem of martial musicianship, we go off "into the sun" and "give 'em the gun".  Then we "rise to fame OR GO DOWN IN FLAMES!" (but nothing can stop us). Cheese and rice. 

Nothing in the Navy anthem about a submarine sinking. Nothing in the Army song about cassions getting stuck in the mud. And certainly nothing about Marines falling overboard. But here in the middle of MY services' song is a line about an airplane GOING DOWN IN FLAMES. Cheeze Louise. 

Oh well. HAPPY VETERANS DAY, MY FELLOW WARRIORS!

VETERANS' DAY 2017

A special shout out to my fellow veterans today.

 November 11 marks the day when an Armistice was signed between the Allies and the Central Powers of Europe during World War I. That war; fought using 19th Century Napoleonic tactics of massed troop formations facing off massed troop formations but using modern weaponry like heavy machine guns, tanks, aircraft and even poison gas; was one of the worst slaughters in the annals of human warfare. That war was not ended by the Armistice. The "War to End All Wars" never really ended and is being fought to this day. The Armistice simply hit the "pause" button.

That pause was used by Lenin and his Communists to win the Bolshevik Revolution with the fall of St. Petersburg.  And in Germany, the humiliating and harsh conditions of surrender imposed by the Allies resulted in a frustrated sense of nationalism wronged. Into the vacuum of the German national soul stepped one Adolf Hitler. On September 1 1939 Hitler sparked what we call "World War II" (but what we think is more properly called "The World War, Part II") with his invasion of Poland. He had made alliances with the Japanese, too; and when Japan attacked the United States on December 7th 1941, WW II became a truly global conflagration, the first in history. 

Less than three years after Pearl Harbor, Allied troops landed at Normandy. A few weeks shy of a year later, Berlin and most of Germany lay in smoking ruins. By the end of the summer of 1945, the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki lay in ruins too, the results of two single bombs of a new and terrible design. Part II of the World War ended with the utter defeat of the two most monstrous tyrannies the world had ever known. It was scarcely over before Part III (The Cold War) began. 

Russia was eager to grab as much real estate as possible and turn those living there into vassals. Germany was split into two parts, one free and one Communist (and the Soviets, being not "antinazi" but rather the political kinsmen of National Socialists kept elements of the Gestapo, Kripo, Ordpo, and SS but re-trained them and renamed them the Vopo and the Stassi). The Allies - particularly America - grabbed the cream of German weapons scientists and drew the line of Soviet expansion at the Fulda Gap of the Alps. 

The Cold War got white-hot in "proxy wars" fought in Laos, Cambodia and most importantly Korea and Vietnam. Vietnam was lost not due to the United States forces being beaten but by politicians in the United States demanding our withdrawal and declining to support the forces of Freedom. Korea was fought to a standstill and the fighting was stopped by a shaky but thus far still standing Armistice (like the one that was signed at the beginning of all this tumult.)

Sometime toward the fall of Communism the Soviets decided to invade Afghanistan. It was the worst mistake they ever made. The Afghans fought like the irregular troops of the Continental Army during our Revolution, using ambush tactics and U.S. supplied weapons to waylay and harass the Soviets. Their humiliated pullout emboldened the Polish people to rally behind their fellow citizens Pope John Paul the Great and Lech Walensa. This solidarity caught fire, and by the late 1980s we who were told in our youth that we would never see the "Berlin Wall" fall in our lifetimes watched on television as mobs of young Germans - no longer "East" or "West" Germans - took sledgehammers to that damned barrier.  The Hammer and Sickle was ripped down and replaced by the Russian Tricolor.

Still it wasn't over. The World War part IV was about to begin. 

The Soviet occupation of Afghanistan gave rise to two main groups: The Northern Alliance, who cared less about establishing a theocracy; and the Pakistani Taliban, who wanted to establish a Salafist Islamic theocracy globally. After years of fighting, the leader of the Northern Alliance was slain in what would turn out to be the beginning of the World War part IV. The next day, the United States of America were attacked in the first act of Part IV. The World War Part IV continues to this day. Every day new veterans are minted. These veterans can proudly trace their heritage to Concord Bridge, up through D-Day  and VE and VJ day through the Siege of Baghdad and the demise of Osama bin Laden. We all of us have been fighting a never ending battle against the forces of evil and tyranny since before the founding of these United States. And for all this fighting and killing and dying still it must be said of every military man of this blessed nation that the bringing about of peace and freedom is what he or she is working and hoping for. 

PEACE IS AND WAS OUR PROFESSION. But we will not have "peace at any price". The peace of surrender to tyrants and despots is a peace paid for by subjugation to Satan himself. Let him who would enslave the globe know that American bayonets await his throat. My fellow veterans, you are magnificent. 

VIRGINIA TURNS BLUE DUE TO LACK OF POLITICAL OXYGEN

Here in the Old Dominion we've been flooded with libtard idiots, felons with newly minted restored voting rights, and illegal aliens at least one of which reported herself for voting unlawfully after (she alleged) she discovered what she did was illegal.

This Blessed Commonwealth had been reliably Republican for decades, having gone Democrat for the election of Lyndon Johnson but thereafter was solidly Republican until the election of Barack Hussein Obama. Since that time Virginia has been Democrat except for the election of Bob McDonnell, who was elected to turn on some stopping power to Tim Kaine's shenannigans 

Democrat Tim Kaine was Governor when Barack Obama was elected to the White House. Kaine immediately began acting as Obama's butt boy, implementing efforts to bring more and more illegal aliens into the Commonwealth and stymieing and denouncing the efforts of especially Prince William County to stem the tide. 

The citizens of Virginia elected Bob McDonnell to put the brakes on. Democrat party hacks dug up and put together a paper-thin bribery case for the purpose of smearing the Republican party enough to get notorious carpetbagging piece of shit Terry McAuliffe elected as Governor (McDonnell's convictions were thrown out by the Supreme Court, but by then it was too late). 

Eight years of two Obama Administrations and six years of collaborating Democrat governors resulted in the Commonwealth being flooded with thousands of Democrat operatives and flunkies. These deliberately worked to make life hell for anyone who voiced dissent to the Democrat party line in the workplace. Places where people congregated became dangerous places to voice opposition to the Democrat machine. Meanwhile McAuliffe embarked on an effort to restore the voting rights of felons. Although McAuliffe tried issuing a blanket restore, the laws of the Commonwealth required individual consideration of each case. This partially succeeded in stopping hundreds of thousands of Democrat favoring felons from voting. But on November 7th, it proved to be not enough. 

Donald Trump had not been in office anywhere near long enough to replace Obama's people with his own; and the fanatic hatred of the extreme wing of the Democrat Party for Trump added propellant to the efforts to defeat the candidate the Republicans ran for Governor: Don Gillespie; who ran a rather half assed and milquetoastish campaign against Ralph Northam, who Virginia is now stuck with as our next Governor. 

The Democrats, in fact just about ran the table in Northern Virginia. They may wind up with de facto control of the House of Delegates. This creates a dire situation for the Commonwealth. But we see much hope.

Trump must move quickly to see HIS worker bees move into Virginia and speed Obama's minions' departure. He needs to cleanse the National Capital Area of illegals, especially the MS-13 gangsters who are getting bolder every day.

If Trump does this and can lead his party to get some key things done by summer, the mid-terms can wind up being a massive gain for Republicans. Virginia could be solid red again by November of next year.

Let's hope so.

DEMOCRATS AND ASPS IN FULL BLOWN MELTDOWN AFTER GENERAL KELLY EXPLAINS PRESIDENT TRUMP'S CONVERSATION WITH SLAIN SOLDIER'S WIDOW AND PUTS CONGRESSWOMAN WILLIAMS IN HER PLACE

Before we begin, let us say that the image of a white Marine general putting a black Congresswoman "in her place" could easily be construed as "racist". We don't care. Ms. Williams was out of ANYONE'S place when she listened in on a call placed by the President of the United States to the widow of a man who gave his life in our common defense. 

Congresswoman Frederica Williams is one screwy character. Our beloved DC area talk show host Chris Plante suggested she change her name to "Kookie Mc Kookbutt"; and we quite agree. Williams is in our view loopier than Maxine Waters, and that's a high bar to jump. 

The main theme of Williams' complaint about Trump is that he told the slain man's widow that "He' (her husband) 'knew what he signed up for".  She also claimed that President Trump was "sarcastic" and mocking in his tone of voice when he said it.

SO It was left to General Kelly, the White House Chief Of Staff to inform the yapping Leftist lap-dogs in the media that he, Kelly, had personally advised Trump what to say. And Kelly has had a son die in our common defense, and he knows military protocol toward the surviving family. He also referred to Congresswoman Williams as an "empty barrel" which makes lots of noise. 

Kelly's address to the White House Press Corps left them stunned and no one challenged him. Why?

Because, apparently, the media had to get together and pow-wow some talking points with the Congresswoman. In short order it was being claimed that "empty barrel" was a "racist term" and that the White House had people following Ms. Willaims around. This prompted Ms. Willaims to announce that she was a "rock star".

Kelly was then denounced by late night hosts Kimmel and Fallon as a "racist", a theme picked up by Hillary Clinton and others. 

And so it continues. The Left can't help but show their true colors, and the American People now see them flying above the crow's nest. And it's a good thing. 

Know what we'd like to see? A televised debate between kook Congresswoman Williams and Alexandria's own White Nationalist leader "Picky Ricky" Spencer.  Popcorn sales would go through the roof, and the popcorn farmers would benefit. Have to put it on Comedy Central, though...

DOUBLE DIPPER: BOY SCOUTS TO ADMIT GIRLS; STUPID ASS ARGUMENTS FOR "GUN CONTROL"

Gentle readers, we wish we could write every day, but we are constrained by the fact that; unlike most of the ASPs we have to make a living without recourse to handouts; which means we must WORK. And we put in some serious hours, too: 12 to 14 EVERY DAMN DAY INCLUDING HOLIDAYS. So today we're doing a "twofer".  First up:

IDIOT BOY SCOUT NATIONAL COUNCIL VOTES UNANIMOUSLY TO ADMIT GIRLS.

Seriously, folks, what is with these numbskulls? First gay kids, then gay adult leaders, THEN "transgenders". AND NOW GIRLS? (Are Junior Lesbos ok?)

The reason given for the decision was that "membership has declined by about a third over the last few years". Really?

WELL NO GODDAMN WONDER YOU FUCKING NUMB NUTS! "THE LAST FEW YEARS" ARE THE YEARS YOU SUCCUMBED TO ALL THE PRESSURE FROM THE LEFT AND GOT PARENTS WORRIED ABOUT LEAVING THEIR KID WITH PEOPLE WHO SEEM TO BE THINKING ABOUT GIVING A MERIT BADGE FOR ADVANCED SODOMY.  

Well, congratulations. I doubt even California has enough whack-a-doodle-doos to sustain more than a few troops based on the insane policies you've been bullied into by the pervert Left. There are some who say that girls "deserve the opportunity" to become vested with the prestigious rank of Eagle Scout; which males have for decades found looks great on one's resume'. But by the time y'all finish fucking up the Scouts, that Eagle badge won't mean a damn thing, even if you upgrade it to a neck order. Thanks for destroying a piece of America. Idiots.

Next up:

STUPID ASS ARGUMENTS FOR "GUN CONTROL"

Almost all arguments put forth by the ASPs and the rest of the anti gun crowd fit this description, but here's a few snappy answers to the dumbest of them:

"THE SECOND AMENDMENT WAS WRITTEN TO PROTECT THE KEEPING AND BEARING OF SINGLE-SHOT MUZZLE LOADING FLINTLOCKS"

AND

"THE PEOPLE WHO WROTE THE CONSTITUTION COULD NOT HAVE FORESEEN MODERN WEAPONRY"

AND

"OKAY, SO I GUESS WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR FLAMETHROWERS AND BAZOOKAS. I GUESS I HAVE THE RIGHT TO HAVE A HYDROGEN BOMB!"

(1) The term "arms" in the Second Amendment means everything up to and including the weapons issued to a modern Light Infantryman. Then it was a flintlock and a bayonet. Today it's a select-fire assault rifle. 

(2) They could not have foreseen TV, the radio, movies and the Internet, either. So do you think we should limit freedom of the press to mimeographed pamphlets?

(3)No, idiot. Flamethrowers and bazookas are specialized weapons not generally issued to every soldier. And neither, of course, is a hydrogen bomb. Stupid ass. 

Hope this gives you some power to deal with the idiots who try to brainwash folks with the idiocy of the Left.

AS USUAL, THE ANTI-GUN LEFT STARTS UP WITH POLITICS BEFORE THE BODIES ARE COOL

Yes, good readers; in the wake of the horrendous slaughter in Las Vegas the American Statist Progressives wasted no time in stirring up the emotions of as many as possible in an attempt to get "emergency legislation" passed. 

Even as this is being written we still do not feel we have enough facts to write in detail about this. The Left is far less concerned with the facts and as with every single shooting is going to milk it to the max to try to get pressure on for the passage of ill considered legislation.

One thing we DO know is that the ASPs have marshaled ever resource they have, including "progressive" clergymen with their own agendas. A group of these met at Washington National Cathedral, and some schlemiel of a rabbi intoned that the common denominator of the killers was "Not income or political affiliation...Nor mental health nor zip code.. but GUNS! GUNS, GUNS, GUNS!" We would like to address this rabbi:

Hey, Mr. Clergyman! guess what you left out? THE COMMON DENOMINATOR IS EVIL, WHICH YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO DEAL WITH. 

Funny how nobody wants to deal with good and evil, isn't it?

SEPTEMBER 23RD 2017: RELAX, FOLKS, THE PLANET WON'T EXPLODE TOMORROW

We have been hearing comments about tomorrow bringing dire events on the Planet Earth. Relax.

The first comment was that some "mystery planet" would collide with ours. That's a lot of hooey (rhymes with "phooey"). I guess since the Weekly World News went out of business (do we ever miss Ed Anger!) the folks peddling imminent catastrophe and "Bible foods to keep you young" have turned to the Internet to peddle their garbage. 

The second comment may have some actual Biblical significance, such as heralding the onset of the "Tribulation" which will precede Armageddon. It concerns a constellation and the planetary motions around it which seem to recap the story of the Virgin Mary, the birth of Jesus, and Satan's attempt to destroy Jesus before he could complete His sacrificial mission. In the end, the constellation representing Satan throws one third of the stars to Earth (symbolic of the angels who joined Satan in his mutiny against God) and ends with the warning: "Woe to the inhabitants of the Earth! For the Devil has come down to you having great wrath; for he knoweth his time is short". 

The following interpretation of this event is mine alone:

This celestial event is a sign that the end times are coming rapidly. The main event of the end will be an attack on Israel to be carried out by Russia, China, Iran and their allies, of course with Satan urging it all on. Before this will be the reign of the Antichrist and the famous 666 that everyone will have to be marked with to buy food or pay rent. Before that will be the Rapture of the believers out of these troubles. This Rapture might happen tomorrow, or not. But this heavenly sign doesn't mean the world will end tonight.

Only that it's getting very, very close. And one only need to look at the news to confirm that.

PRESIDENT TRUMP SOCKS IT TO UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY BUT GOOD

Yesterday President Donald John Trump addressed the General Assembly of the United Nations and delivered a speech that knocked the ball out of the park. We didn't comment on it as we wanted to sample the unhinged reactions of the ASPs (American Statist Progressives) to the speech first. The ASPs did not disappoint.

Particularly Trump's excoriation of socialism was treated as a fart at a Holy Communion service. He also called Islamic Extremism by its name as the enemy.  And he warned the Norks that if they continued to follow "Rocket Man" Kim Jong Un that they would share his grave. 

President Trump plainly laid out his position on dealing with threats to America and her allies. We believe that he gave new hope to those in Iran who wish to overthrow the deranged theocrats who bear rule in that benighted nation.

So too bad ASPs. Trump made it plain that these nutball dictatorships have gotten their last free blow job from an American President in a good, long time. 

Hail Trump!

TOYS R US EMPLOYEES BEWARE OF THIS BANKRUPTCY SCHEME

If you work for "Toys "R" us particularly in Virginia, you are doubtless aware that the company is filing for bankruptcy protection. They may be about to pull a little scam to screw you out of unemployment benefits. Here's how it works (Magruders pulled this same crap):

They'll tell you that the company is "reorganizing" under Chapter 11 and say that a new company will be formed and in order to b e considered you must resign and re-apply.

WARNING! DO NOT RESIGN! IN VIRGINIA YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS IF YOU RESIGN AND IF TOYS ARE US DOES WHAT MAGRUDERS DID THEY WILL WAIT UNTIL EVERYBODY HAS RESIGNED AND SCREWED THEMSELVES OUT OF UNEMPLOYMENT AND OTHER BENEFITS AND THEN CHANGE FROM CHAPTER 11 REORGANIZATION TO STRAIGHT CHAPTER 7 LIQUIDATION.

Do not fall for this dirty trick, and don't believe the suits when they tell you everything's fine. It's not. Be careful and don't resign until you've found something else. Lotsa luck.

ANGRY MOB OF ILLEGALS SHOUTS DOWN NANCY PELOSI FOR WORKING WITH TRUMP

You see, Gentle Readers, we told you so!

Just like in Hunt for Red October, President Trump has turned the torpedo coming for him right back at the enemy, and it has blown up in their faces. Yesterday Nancy Pelosi sought to have a press conference when a mob of illegals showed up and started shouting her down for the crime of having even met with Trump about anything at all. We believe President Trump knew exactly what would happen when he allowed himself to be seen eating and perceived to be negotiating with Pelosi and Schumer. These illegals are largely ignorant and are rightly suspicious that the Democrats are just using them and will toss them under the ICE bus as soon as they are inconvenient.

People, President Trump knows the Democrat playbook, having been one. And he knows how they perceive the "little guys" they are trying to "help". He knew this would happen, and now Pelosi and Schumer are catching hell from these illegals who thought that the Democrats were there to help them. 

Heading 3-1-5! 

TRUMP MAKES HIS HEADING 3-1-5, REPUBLICANS FREAK

Remember the movie "Hunt for Red October"? Sean Connery plays a Russian officer who wants to defect and give a top-secret nuclear ballistic missile sub to the United States. The Soviets guess his game and send an attack sub to destroy both him and Red October. Eventually the attack sub, captained by a young officer who had studied under him at the Soviet Naval Academy, launches a torpedo at Red October. Connery's character instructs the American at the helm to head right into the torpedo, saying: "Make your heading 3-1-5. As the Russians and Americans sweat and count down the seconds to impact, Connery makes small talk. And when the torpedo hits, it does not explode but breaks apart. Connery explains that he knows the other boat's captain as he taught him at the Academy and knew he would set the torpedo to arm itself at a certain point, thus he guided Red October to meet the torpedo head-on before it was armed, destroying it. Later the opposing captain fires again and Connery, knowing he won't make the same mistake twice, executes a series of maneuvers that cause the opposing sub to become the target of the torpedo. The opposing sub is killed by her own weapon.

Similarly, a few days ago President Trump had dinner with Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and let it slip that some deals had been made. Most conservative talk hosts and the entire Republican establishment is freaking out. 

Relax, folks.

President Trump knows Pelosi. He knows Schumer. He used to be a Democrat and knows the playbook. And he is well aware that Pelosi and Schumer want to destroy him. 

Let the Captain make the heading 3-1-5. He knows what he's doing.

CITIZENS AND BUSINESSES REACT TO PLANS TO CHANGE THE NAME OF JEFFERSON DAVIS HIGHWAY IN ALEXANDRIA AND ARLINGTON VIRGINIA

The governing Councils of the City of Alexandria and the County of Arlington in the Commonwealth of Virginia today announced that the portion of U.S. Route 1 running through the two jurisdictions; currently known as Jefferson Davis Highway; will be renamed "Martin Luther King Junior Memorial Highway" pending approval of the State legislature, which is needed for the change to proceed in Arlington. 

We interviewed some residences and businesses along the route of the proposed change. Surprisingly, although the corridor voted overwhelmingly for Obama in 2008 and 2012 and for Clinton in 2016, the residents and business owners were largely not pleased by the development.

Shopkeeper after shopkeeper told our investigators that they were pleased to have their shop located on a route named after such an important icon, but that the costs of changing letterhead and signage would be burdensome. At several of these locations corrugated steel rolldown doors were being installed, having just that day been ordered. Only one merchant was deliriously happy: Harvey's Custom Signs; whose owner Harvey Smithers told us he had been cranking out "FOR SALE BY OWNER" signs as fast as he could print them. Smithers, who is African American, told the ADP:

"See, I ain't no fool. I know all these liberal white folks in Del Ray and Crystal City can't stand th' notion of having to tell folks to take a right or a left off of Martin fuckin' Luther King t' get t' they house. So I found out about this yesterday and set up to print out these signs. They cost me a dollar to make and I sell 'em for twenty bucks. So far today I made fifty thousand dollars. And my brother owns a moving company, so I steer people to him.'

'Talk about affordable housing. The politicians gonna have lotsa affordable housing within days of that name change taking effect. My brother and me gonna buy a bunch of it. Then we gonna rent 'em out. Then, when the City realizes that the tax assessments is way down, they greedy asses gonna change the name back and give some lame excuse, and all the whiteys gonna wanna move back an' my brother an' me are gonna like buy houses at $25 thou each and sell 'em back to the whiteys for the three or four hundred grand they paid in the first place. Then we gonna move to someplace where white folks ain't so goddamn crazy."

Mayor Silberberg and the City Manager and Council did not respond to the ADP's request for comments.

Note: ONCE AGAIN THIS IS A SATIRE! However, in this case the possibility of it coming true is all too real.

CONTROVERSY ERUPTS AFTER ALT RIGHT OBTAINS PERMIT TO ERECT STATUE OF JOHN WILKES BOOTH AT FORD'S THEATER

Washington, D.C.

August 27 2017

City officials in the Nation's Capital are red with embarrassment as they struggle to quash a "special use" building permit obtained by "Alt Right" leader Spencer Richards. The purpose of the permit is to allow the demolition of a souvenir shop across the street from Ford's Theater (and next to the house where President Abraham Lincoln died) in order that a statue memorializing what Richards calls "The alleged" assassin of Lincoln, Confederate sympathizer and actor John Wilkes Booth.

The property was purchased by a "front group" and the Special Use permit stated only that the property was to be used as the site of "a memorial".  

"We just assumed it was gonna be a memorial by some private person, and that the subject of the memorial was going to be President Lincoln' said a D.C. official who declined to be identified.  'I mean, who could have even thought about this crazy-ass shit happening here in the 21st Century? And less than a month after Charlottesville?"

"We just wanted to get the truth out' said Richards when asked why his group had performed such an elaborate ruse. 'Booth didn't shoot Lincoln. Lincoln shot himself, and Booth fled thinking - and rightly so - that he'd be blamed for Lincoln's death".

Richards claims that Booth had only gone to Ford's Theater to deliver a message to Lincoln:

"Lincoln had been drinking heavily during the last few weeks of the war' Richards claimed; 'And Booth went to the Theater to inform the President of the fact that he had freed the slaves whilst he had been drunk. He was carrying a letter informing the President of that fact as he approached the Presidential Box."

Richards produced a copy of the letter, which he claimed had been found in the alley behind Ford's Theater by an unknown person and given to Richard's organization by descendants of that individual, who wish to remain anonymous. The letter reads:

Dear Mr. President:

It is my concern that you did not, by reason of your inebriation, know what you were doing when you freed all the slaves earlier this year. Please reflect on this fact, and rescind your order. Respectfully, JWB.

According to Richards, Booth told Dr. Samuel Mudd that when Lincoln read the letter, he gasped, started and handed the missive back to Booth as he said "I FREED THE WHAT!??!!" Handing the letter back to Booth, Lincoln drew a derringer from his pocket and shot himself in the head. 

As to additional elements to the assassination, Richards claims that Mary Todd Lincoln told Major Rathbone that if Lincoln's death were deemed a suicide, she would be ineligible to benefit from the multimillion dollar life insurance policy on Lincoln's life. So Rathbone stabbed himself with a dagger and threw it into the alley where Booth was escaping. 

The other alleged "conspirators", claims Richards, were people Booth knew and were only coincidentally involved with incidents erroneously tied to the assassination. George Atzerott was only trying to burglarize Vice President Johnson's hotel suite; and Louis Paine attempted to kill Secretary of State Seward for drugging his 12 year old niece with laudanum and molesting her in the woods in what is now Rock Creek Park. 

Richards' claims have been met with extreme skepticism by most members of the public, and City officials have filed for a restraining order forbidding the "alt right" from doing any work or demolition on the site while they attempt to revoke the permit on grounds of fraud and deception by Richards and his group. The next hearing on this matter is scheduled in D.C. Superior Court for October 13th.

Note to readers: The foregoing post is SATIRE. NO ONE (at least to our knowledge) is planning such and outrageous memorial. This blog post is nothing but satire... and click bait. Got it?
