"Society had its chance"


I frigg'n hate Twitter. For years the company I worked for begged me to use it to promote products, innovations and success stories to the broader tweeting public but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. It just seemed like an endless stream of one liners with incongruous patterns building a formidable wall of confusion. Then the 2016 election happened and I had to start using the cursed platform to follow Trump to figure out what he was doing - now that was fun because Trump actually understands how to use the service and does use it to great effect as his own printing press - like this:



Impressive. Complete freak out by all the good people bringing Somali refugees into America and relocating them in the heartland (Ohio) where they get educated and, basically, act like any other millennial in American society - except the jihadi stuff but you really never know about that side of them until they go boom. And that last part is a real problem for those of us non-Islamic nut jobs (including Muslims) who inhabit the land of the free because for all the ISIS inspiration the perps of these terrorists attack "act normally" to anyone observing them. How do you deport a normal person? How do you even vet these people or "extreme vet" them? And even if you do vet them and they pass inspection there's always the chance that they'll come to America and be taught to hate the country as much as some of the native born citizens do. The difference between these Somali haters and your average college student, journalist or movie star is that the Islamonazi has a very compelling rational to act - a cause for lack of a better word and that cause is A LOT more meaningful than giving Bernie Sanders all your (and other people's) money to spend on his pet projects. They see American society with it's strip malls and golden arches as, well, as ISIS sees it - something that needs to be destroyed.

There's always the chance that this mass murder attempt (Abdul Razak Ali Artan's attack did not go as planned) had something to do with murder microbes in the Ohio water supply for it must be remembered that one of the most notorious mass murder nut jobs in American history, James Huberty, was an Ohio native and though he lived a violent and tortured life in the Buckeye State, he didn't snap until after he'd emigrated, so to speak, to Southern California. One sunny San Ysidro afternoon in 1984 he walked out his front door loaded down with weaponry and told his wife that he was "hunting humans" because "society had its chance." His long suffering wife didn't think much of it at that moment but 20 minutes later, and for the following hour, James methodically killed over twenty men, women and children (most of them Mexican-American) in the local McDonald's fast food joint. No way to keep the James Huberty's of America out of America, but there is a way to keep the Abdul Artan's of Somalia out of America - Society had its chance and society blew it. That is the 2016 election message and America is determined to stop blowing it and start winning instead.

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. This list

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
