incompetent at governing and unwilling to be governed

Just in time for last nights Democrat "Debate" the NYTime's favorite Conservative diagnoses the reasons for the Republican parties incompetence. The cause of the GOP's problems, as everyone with a half-wit knows, is Rush Limbaugh.
"Over the past 30 years, or at least since Rush Limbaugh came on the scene, the Republican rhetorical tone has grown ever more bombastic, hyperbolic and imbalanced."
David Brooks just doesn't understand why the Republicans can't show more "intellectual humility" and promote "steady, incremental change" showing a "respect for hierarchy, precedence, balance and order, and a tone of voice that is prudent, measured and responsible." You know, like Bernie Sanders or Hilary Clinton. It's like this, traditional conservatives are supposed to run out on the tracks of history and yell stop - then get run over, but these Rush Limbaugh inspired rubes are actually trying to rip up the tracks or at the very least throw the switch and move the train onto a different track. They're "incompetent at governing and unwilling to be governed."

Pink Politician

Well, sort of, but Brooks like every DC pundit who's made a respectable living proping up the 1932 governing order where DC "rules" and the citizen/subjects "obey" will never understand what's roiling the GOP - He doesn't even understand Rush Limbaugh. Like most Democrats, Brooks thinks Rush is a political gadfly barking out orders to the GOP base, but any honest assessment of his 20 Million (!!!) average weekly listeners will show that his audience is ideologically broad. More importantly, if you listen to his broadcast (I mean really listen) it's surprising how little he actually addresses politics or politicians - What he really focuses his attention on is illuminating the fake media-sphere that supports, obfuscates, lies and ignores injustice in the existing political order. His target is not politicians or political parties - it's the blob of conformity that insulates Washington DC from the people in the "real world". Rush's target is David Brooks and all the pencil neck nerds like him that manufacture the news and popular opinion. Millions of Americans see it just as Rush does and they want to tear the established order down, scrub it off and build something better.

Proof - at last nights "debate" when Bernie gave Hitlery a pass on her e-mail server "scandal" by letting her know that "he's sick and tired of hearing about her emails" the press room (where all the reporters sit) erupted in spontaneous cheers. It would have been a great moment for the moderator of the "debate" to remind Senator Sanders that the FBI doesn't, as a rule, procure peoples private servers unless there is suspicion of criminal activity, but for some strange reason the follow up didn't spring from Anderson Cooper's lips. Bernie's gift to Hilary last night just proves what I've thought all along, that Sanders is a Stalking Horse designed to ignite the hard left base who loath all things Clinton and bring them into the fold when the time is right - He's a tool in the Democrat machine and nothing more - I'm sure David Brooks doesn't understand that either.

The Real Story with Gretchen Carlson

She was "sexy", but "too much hard work." I'm a regular Fox & Friends viewer (mostly in protest of the other insipid morning programs like Today and Good Morning America) so over the years I've gotten to know Gretchen Carlson pretty well. Stuck between Steve and Brian she always seemed a prudish scold with an irritating, self-righteous demeanor that I simply put up with because I figured some people in the Fox audience actually liked her persona. It was obvious that Steve and Brian did not, but they were stuck with her like so many talking heads and had to make the best of it - which they did. Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

The Pop-Tarts Bowl: Frauds v. Fakers

In the Techno-Fascist Imperium the "Holidays" festivities start on Columbus Day, when the Halloween candy pops up, and end New Years Day with college football Bowl games, black-eyed peas and collard greens. To be clear, the Imperium doesn't celebrate Columbus Day, au contraire, the Indigenous Peoples' Day psyop has been pushed hard by the IC for the past 50 years of failure but the candy... THE CANDY. This year's IPD got turned up to eleven when the colonizers of America's 51st state got kidnapped, raped and murdered by some indigenous maniacs on Sukkot 10/7 and, as a result, soured the festive '23 Holiday mood. Hey, we soldiered on, as it were, and kept on celebrating while the world burned: Halloween - Big for children and weirdos. Thanksgiving - Focus on God, country and family. Hannukkah - Jewish assimilation. Xmas - Santa Claus and gifts. Kwanzaa - Black Lives Matter. I'd call them Happy Holidays if it wasn't  a neo-Nazi dog whistle  to vocal...

Obligatory Report On The Techno-Fascist Imperium

John Henry Durham (great name) dropped his " REPORT ON MATTERS RELATED TO INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES AND INVESTIGATIONS ARISING OUT OF THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL   CAMPAIGNS " and, as the Keeper Of The Clown Bell, I feel compelled to write down my thoughts on this subject which has been the catalyst for so much bell ringing over the past eight (8!) years. I'm going to start with some hard truths, as I see them, and then move into speculative puzzling I've noodled over these long years of Cold Civil War. So don't stop reading even if the bumpy start makes you angry or despondent and be sure to click on the links which serve as footnotes or references for my report. I'm going to start on election night November 8, 2016 and reference a video recording of Government TV's coverage of the big event. The PBS NewsHour panel was populated by establishment left-wing talking heads and GOP squishes preparing to coronate Her as First Woman POTUS and for the first 4 hours of th...
