When the final scores were posted it didn’t look so good for the Bernie Bros and the Ocasio Sista’s: Socialists 0 - Capitalist Pigs 5. Candidates endorsed by Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suffered a string of defeats in primaries. ‘5 for 5’: Trump touts victories of GOP candidates he endorsed Socialism fails. Every. Time. It’s tried.So, it looks like the Big Blue Wave might actually be…a big blue undertow.I’m thinking if all the Democrats form a human chain and wade into the sea they may be able to save their brethren swept out to sea.  And if that doesn’t work,...

Here’s all you need to know about Michigan primary results: the two candidates endorsed by President Trump won. It’s not his fault that Attorney General Bill Schuette - who launched his political career 34 years ago with election to the U.S. House – is a RINO. His only viable rival in the race, Brian Calley, was an even bigger RINO. I loved Patrick Colbeck, my state senator, rocket scientist and certifiable conservative who was also running for governor, but he had no money, no campaign and sadly no talent for politics (something all RINOs have). So with Schuette as our...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) What tipped you off, Timmy? – Apple CEO Tim Cook is worried that “humanity is being drained out of music.” It’s not about what you think, but it should be. Tired of all this Winning yet? – Republican Troy Balderson won the special election for Ohio’s 12th district over Democat Danny O’Connor, denying the fake news media another excuse to rev up its “Blue Wave” narrative one more time. The race was very close, with Balderson prevailing by just 1,754 votes out of the 202,000 total votes cast. Absurdly, the two will...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Democrats have now taken us back to the Klan days of the early 1960s – A gang of white Democrats assaulted a black woman in a cafe in Philadelphia Monday morning as she was attempting to have some breakfast. Sound familiar? No, I didn’t make that up – the black woman’s name is Candace Owens, a conservative activist who helped to start the rising #walkaway movement on Twitter. The white Democrats were a bunch of Antifa thugs who found out where Ms. Owens was attempting to dine and literally ran her out...

You could use this tagline everyday of the week, but I’ll confine it to Tuesdays.Only in America…could a predominantly white Antifa mob get away with chanting “F**k White Supremacy!” at a black, conservative, woman. “To be clear: ANTIFA, an all-white fascist organization, just grew violent and attacked an all-black and Hispanic police force,” Ms. Owens tweeted. “Because I, a BLACK woman, was eating breakfast.”Others in the crowd shouted “fascist piece of s—t! F— you,” and “f— white supremacy!” - Washington Times And I’ll bet that all those little white anti-fascists who don’t know the meaning of either “anarchy” or “fascism”...

The media is abuzz (again) about Donald Jr’s meeting with Russians at Trump Tower to get dirt on Hillary. Trump’s critics immediately pounced on the new story, the latest of several versions of events about a meeting for which emails were discovered between the president’s eldest son and an intermediary from the Russian government offering damaging information about Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton. - AP Doesn’t matter that the meeting was truncated early on and nothing pursued. Still, in the mind of the media it’s way worse than having a paid agent of the Clinton campaign approaching Russian officials for damaging...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Note to CBS: When you have to publicly declare that your network isn’t broken, your network is broken. – CBS entertainment division head Kelly Kahl led a press event on Sunday and, doing his best Baghadad Bob impression in the wake of the network’s latest major sex abuse scandal, declared there’s nothing to see here, all is well. No one believed him. Yes, Councilman, the people of Santa Barbara do lack common sense. They elected you, after all. – Over at Powerline, Steven Heyward has a hilarious quick read about a member...

Mike Rowe said that there is profound disconnection between Americans, and it’s this gap that drives the division in the angry discourse over politics. ‘Frustrated people are talking… past each other’ Rowe was responding to conservative commentator Ben Shapiro on his show about the widening gap between different classes of Americans. “We’ve become slowly and inexorably and profoundly disconnected from a lot of very basic things that when I grew up, I was really connected to,” he explained, “like where my food comes from, and where my energy comes from.” “A basic history, a basic curiosity, you know,” he continued,...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Wait. Somebody didn’t already know this? – The New York Post has a story this morning titled “Twitter is Run by Democrat Donors and Activists.” Well, yes, yes it is. So is Facebook. And Youtube. And every other social media platform you’re accessing today. In all seriousness, the piece is by Paul Sperry, one of the handful of real working journalists still functioning in our national news media today, and anything by Sperry is well worth taking the time to read. So go read it already. April Ryan is a shameless liar,...

HPSurf sent this clip of Polish MP Dominik Tarczynski schooling a BBC bimbo on Muslim immigration in Poland. He also mentioned he was thinking of moving there. All I can say is dlaczego nie? First Poland saved Europe from the Ottomans (single-handedly), then from the Kaiser (an assist) followed by the Commies (a major assist) and now again from the modern-incarnation of the Ottomans - which aren’t much different from the ones some 400 years ago. Just how many times does Poland have to save Western Civilization anyway? I think we should help them this time by adopting Dominik Tarczynski’s platform...

Of the more than 1,000 refugees admitted into the United Kingdom from war-torn Syria during the first quarter of 2018 none were Christians. Home Secretary Sajid Javid explained that “for us to admit Christians would merely exacerbate the already existing religious imbalance between the two countries. We already have a surplus of Christians in the UK and a comparative shortage of Muslims. The opposite is the case in Syria.” Javid acknowledged that “the discrimination, oppression, and murder of Christians in Muslim-run countries is unfortunate. However, we feel we must take a longer range perspective. That perspective is founded on the...

Where are the animal rights activists when you need them? h/t SmallDeadAnimalsHonestly, I think zoning laws should make these wasp zapping contraptions mandatory for all new builds, but then I’m deathly allergic to wasps so I’ll allow as how my position may be considered extreme. Still, nothing - not even ants - can ruin a good picnic the way wasps can. It does occur to me that if you can take out that many wasps with just a modified string trimmer the carnage caused by their much larger mechanical relatives must be biblical.I call for a pox on all of...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Here’s what you need to understand about the disgusting racist, cop-hating Sarah Jeong and why the New York Times refuses to reverse its decision to hire her to be part of its editorial board: She’s boring. She’s passe’. She’s nothing special. She is in fact par for the course when it comes to what passes for thought among the young, radical left these days. This is why the people at the Times were no doubt shocked that there was the slightest controversy over her hiring – in there bubble, there’s nothing controversial...

Jennifer Allen, CEO of Planned Parenthood Votes Northwest and Hawaii, urged supporters to go all out to oppose the confirmation of Bret Kavanaugh to the US Supreme Court, pointing out that “if Kavanaugh’s vote is the one needed to overturn Roe v. Wade future generations of children will be denied their right to be aborted by their mothers. The amount of suffering that such an outcome would inflict on these children is a cruelty that must be averted.” if you missed any of this week's other semi-news/semi-satire posts you can find them at... https://azconservative.org/2018/08/03/ny-times-hires-racist-editorial-writer/

The New York Times announced it is adding Sarah Jeong to its editorial board. Ms. Jeong is noted for her anti-white animus that has been expressed in tweets like “how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men,” “white people are marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants,” and “white people are only fit to live underground like groveling goblins.” “We hired Sarah Jeong because of the exceptional work she has done,” the Times explained. “She offers a perspective that is both a powerful and timely contribution to the climate...

As food and medicine shortages and public service paralysis have wracked Venezuela, President Nicolas Maduro admitted his economic model has failed. The "model" has entailed nationalization of major industrial sectors, the expropriation of hundreds of businesses, and widespread price controls. The President called upon "my socialist comrades to join with me in devising more effective directives to get the economy moving again. Our country is not the first to face these kinds of problems. When the Soviet Union was trying to build socialism wreckers and saboteurs undermined the plans laid out by the Politburo. It took the strength of Stalin...

Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends) Tired of all this #Winning yet? – Some great numbers for President Donald Trump (I still never tire of typing those three words) in the latest Rasmussen survey. His public approval rating is back up to 50%, which is 5 points higher than Barack Hussein Obama’s rating was at this same point in his first term. But wait, there’s more! As if that weren’t #WINNING enough, the President’s approval rating among African American voters has now ticked up to a princely (for a Republican) 29%, almost double his 15% support among Black...

News that American workers pay and benefits are now rising at a faster pace than any time during the Obama years has sparked fear in the Democratic Party. The proclaimed "future" of the Party Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, recent winner of the Democratic congressional primary in Brooklyn, New York, sees this development as "a direct threat to our democracy. The GOP scheme to boost the working class into the ranks of higher income is intended to undermine their support for the Democratic Party." "A key to bringing the benefits of socialism to America is the class solidarity among the workers," Ocasio-Cortez said....

Jiggs McDonald, NHL Hall of Fame broadcaster speaking in Ontario, says: "I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against another mosque being built in Toronto . I think it should be the goal of every Canadian to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs Thus the mosque should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance." “That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque; thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, "The Turban Cowboy," and the other,...

A gorilla walked into a bar. He ordered a Jack and Coke and paid for it with a $10 bill. The bartender thought, “This gorilla couldn’t possibly know the prices of drinks” and gave him 50 cents change. As he handed back the two quarters, the bartender said, “You know, we don’t get too many gorillas in here.” The gorilla said, “As bad as you overcharge, I’m surprised you get any.”
