28 Point Program

Coital alignment technique
Here's how it went down on the Sunday Morning Talk Shows in their round table discussions:

Meet the Press

Welcome back, panel is here. Stuart Stevens, first time joining us on the panel, was Mitt Romney's chief strategist in 2012, Yamiche Alcindor, national political reporter for The New York Times, Eliana Johnson, Washington Editor for the National Review, welcome to the table for the first time and Tom Friedman, columnist for The New York Times.

This Week With George Stephanopoulos
STEPHANOPOULOS: Tom Hanks a pretty good Chris Wallace right there.
Let's talk about this week with our roundtable. Joined by our political analyst Matthew Dowd, Republican strategist Sara Fagen, Democratic strategist Jamal Simmons, senior editor of "The National Review", Jonah Goldberg, and the editor and publisher of "The Nation", Katrina Vanden Heuval. 
Read the names - Every one of them a #NeverTrump stooge talking down the candidate two weeks before the general election. This is a huge, horrible lie that's being shouted at the American voter and the desperation of the corporate media is palpable. If Trump were really out of the running than what harm in having one advocate for The Elvis from Queens join your little circle? Because he's not losing or, at least, he's not losing bad enough so it's time to pull out all the stops and try to sink his candidacy. It's too late. They can't stop it because it's really not about Trump and it never has been.

One of my favorite arguments that I deploy against my socialist friends is a little thought experiment that hinges on the success of socialism itself. As a countries political system becomes more and more socialistic following the model of the "good" international, multi-cult, tolerant communism with a human face kind of socialism there is always the possibility that a nation's people will say to themselves, "hey, if we've got to live with this socialism thing, why not make it a National Socialism that preserves what we've got instead of giving it all away?" Well, that will never happen because that's what they've told me over and over and over again every time I've proposed the concept.

So when Trump delivered a speech on his Contract with the American Voter I shouldn't draw any comparison with National-Socialist German Workers’ Party 25 Point program because they're very different (and in the details they are very different) and National Socialism can't happen here in the USA anyway because we've got this great constitution and all that. But what if the US Constitution is functionally irrelevant and routinely violated both in action and spirit by successive administrations from both political parties and the voters decide that the words on the paper don't mean anything to the ruling class unless they're using them to justify some law (abortion, gay marriage) they can't convince the citizenry to vote for? What if We the People start to view the US Constitution as cynically as Beltway ruling "We" see it? They will look upon it and spit, then vote.

Psycho Killer, qu'est-ce?

I came into this wicked world in the early 1960's and as a result I have born witness to America's 50 Years of Failure which includes the modern age of mass shootings by psychotic men who "go off" on a given day, for no reason at all (except "guns"), and kill scads of innocent bystanders. Back in August of 2019 a KOTCB blog post titled " Reciprocity City " explored a young  gunman  named Patrick Crusius  who drove 9 hours through the west Texas flatlands to shoot up El Paso, TX The KOTCB has commented on many of these shootings, bombings and knifings over the years -  The roots of the Boston Marathon Bombing ,  the Emanuel AME Church shooting ,  Syed Rizvan Farook and his bride Tashfeen Malik ,  Ft. Lauderdale Airport shooting ,  Nick Cruz lovesick Parkland shooting ,  the Iranian, PETA activist, Vegan Bodybuilder, YouTuber's attack on Google  and now this very oddly timed and placed "lone wolf" attack on Walmart shoppers.

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

Who voted for this guy?

Who voted for this guy? It's been ten days since the results of the Maricopa County, Arizona ballot audit were released to the public and presented at a hearing held by the state senate. This exercise in democratic accountability had been going on for months and, if reports are to be believed, was completed well over a  month before the September 24th hearing where   overwhelming proof of an illegitimate election was presented to lawmakers . The audit showed multiple irregularities, fake ballots, duplicate counts, errors, omissions and egregious acts of sabotage and obstinance by the Maricopa County board of supervisors who did everything they could to withhold and destroy evidence of wrongdoing from the citizen sleuths. The misfeasance of Arizona's political leaders was clearly defined, shocking and (for some) beyond belief but somehow these facts were discovered, organized, packaged and suppressed for MONTHS by the Cyber Ninjas who were attempting to "get to the bottom&q
