LOCAL AND REGIONAL
* What do I think of what he’s about to do? Well, in a song.
* We have enough, without having to import any more.
CHICAGO
* How black of you, running to the Federal courts to make mean ole YT give you back your trophy and screaming racism int he process.
IMMIGRATION
* Didn’t anyone notice that a truck carrying lots of border crossing cards was in Mexico to begin with? I wonder what that’s all about? And if you think that these cards have been invalidated, then I have an unlimited credit platinum card to sell you.
NATIONAL
* Chris Christie announcing his Presidential campaign means that the number of Republican Presidential candidates has now increased from 13 to 15.
* The disheartening news from the last two days of the workweek last week made me forget about something that I thought about, but thankfully someone else did — SCOTUS ruling the way it did on gay “marriage” means that, if they remain consistent, (and you can’t always count on that, to wit, the John Roberts of Thursday and the John Roberts of Friday read like two totally different people), then CCW permits must have full national reciprocity.
* Elijah Cumstain be like: Obama, please tell the Baltimore PD they can arrest people without your DOJ chimping out and filing brutality charges! I guess this means that June in the Harm City was just as bad as May, but they’re not telling us. Remember though, the Baltimore Six aren’t being strung up by Loretta Lynch, they’re being strung up by Marilyn Mosby, who pretty much openly stated that the riots were what drove her to file these charges. And far from having to worry about Lynch or Mosby, the reason why cops fear having to enforce the law in Bell Curve City is that half of the black undertow will show up out of nowhere throwing rocks and bricks and maybe even poo.
* Also out of Maryland, Gov. Larry Hogan has signed off on the Maryland Purple Line. You know, the one where residents of Montgomery County are praising a shrimp.
* Why are they even bothering warning us? If something like this happens, these same people will be telling us that it isn’t terrorism. If anything, the thing to worry about next weekend will be the massive body and casualty counts out of bell curve cities. Remember last year, the 4th itself was on a Friday, so there was a three day weekend, and Chicago had 14 murdered and 82 others shot.
* Well, the good news is that somebody is standing up to the Taliban/ISIS.
* News about a certain horrific violent crime that has totally fallen off the media’s cliff that we’re not supposed to notice.
* Taking bets that people are going to be more mad at the cops for initiating the chase than at the driver for hitting the gas. Even though the cops gave up the chase after a minute and fifteen seconds.
* What’s the world coming to when $20 million won’t even get you a good quality mansion.
MISC STUFF
* The way to get around this is to call them Pachystanis.
* Self-driving vehicles, perfected not where you think. Which would make sense, because their obstacles are few and their objectives are narrowly defined.

About the DC quadruple homicide, horrific crimes like this receive a fair amount of local play at the time and fall off the cliff a few days later. You never hear about them for a couple of years until the trial starts with no advance notice.
The trial is usually covered on the back pages and at the bottom of the newscast.
Thank God or whoever the game company didn’t cave in regarding the battleflag.
Speaking of, and speaking of music…
My roots are deeper than the bones, the others
My colors that change with the sun
My branches, were higher
Than anything on the hillside
On the day that I watched them all come
Some wear the color of the sky in the winter
Some, were as blue as the night
They came like a storm with the light of the morn
And they fell through the whole day and night
Colors flew high and they danced in the sky
As I watched them come over the hill
Then to my wonder, sticks that made thunder
Such a great number lay still
When the light came again
There was death on the wind
As the buzzards made way for the worms
And the little white trees that dont bend in the breeze
For the ones that will never return
Colors flew high and they danced in the sky
As I watched them come over the hill
Then to my wonder, sticks that made thunder
Such a great number lay still
Those that have fallen, come when I call them
And answer the best that they can
But all they can see is what they used to be
And thats all that they understand
Colors flew high and they danced in the sky
As I watched them come over the hill
Then to my wonder, sticks that made thunder
Such a great number lay still
Colors flew high and they danced in the sky
As I watched them come over the hill
Then to my wonder, sticks that made thunder
Such a great number lay still

Pretty good. Straight to Amazon, “add to cart.” It’ll go into the Ozarks folder of my digital music collection.
One more from a working class hero, lol…
I’ve worked my fingers to the bone
not a pretty little penny have I got to show
I ain’t looking for much
just a little bit of rest by the side of the road
I lift my voice to the forces above
the Lords of labor and the Goddess of love
ain’t I been a good, hard working
faithful servant and son
then the sky turns black
and it cracks with a thundering voice
work is what you are when you’re breathing in and out
til your final breath falls to the floor
so swing down that sledgehammer through the wood
a little test of mind over flesh oughtta do you good
get up off the ground
you can lay down when the day is done
and on the seventh day
you can lay in the morning sun
I want to make my home on a mountain high
just me and my lover and the big old sky
I ain’t asking for much
just a little bit of rest before the day that I die
I lift my voice to the forces above
the Lords of labor and the Goddess of love
ain’t i been a good, hard working
faithful servant and son
then the sky turns black
and it cracks with a thundering voice
work is what you are when you’re breathing in and out
til your final breath falls to the floor
so swing down that sledgehammer through the wood
a little test of mind over flesh oughtta do you good
get up off the ground
you can lay down when the day is done
and on the seventh day
you can lay in the morning sun
One more comment.
1. Great Sunday post. I hear internet advertising is down some places as well.
2. Here’s my daily trumpgush self and Trump affirmation. Response on an interesting – and comment hungry – internet rag called The Fiscal Times. Some typical negative Nellie boohooing about how everything sux and if only something would happen to fix all the problems or something…
Yeah, now I remember what I don’t regret about getting out of the game, lol…
Anyhoos…my daily self-Trump affirmation…
Hey – it’s Trump and the 14 dwarves of the GOP
apocalypse. Well, Christie Soprano is a biggun,
but still a GOP dwarf of the apocalypse. Guess that makes him “Bombur”.
You’ll never get what you want, so shove Trump up their rump
why not?
Trump ‘16
3. The Fiscal Times. According to the never wrong wiki…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fiscal_Times
Headed by Peter G. Peterson, one of the richest guys you’ve probably never heard of, unlike Trump…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_George_Peterson
And with that introduction, here is The Fiscal Times, open to the Trump article…

I need to get paid for this crap…monkey wrench indeed.
TRUMP ’16!
I collect stories through the week. If they grab my interest right away, then I’ll do a post about it right away. If not, then I’ll let it sit in my hopper until Sunday, and if I still care about it by then, it will go into the Sunday wrap-up, if not, then to URL heaven.
As far as this FT article, it’s mostly the same boring unoriginal conventional “wisdom” revolving around the ZOMG GREAT HISPANIC VOTER TIDAL WAVE LOL~!!!!!1 crap and other blatantly wrong items of conventional wisdom that you could find in hundreds of other articles like it.
Yeah, accurate assessment but fertile ground for planting petards and hauling butt.
Poor fellers – they are so comment starved. Fertile ground for relatively polite epic level trolls. Breitbart is brutally clogged. I gotta type crap put on word, then paste it. Irritating.
You know…I hate anti-White humor, but…
Man you can’t make up a better, ‘whiter’ humorous stereotype than some old rich guy named “Peter G. Peterson”, LOL!
And they say the Jews control everything…
Trump – German.
Per the concealed carry…per Thurday’s fiat…I mean ruling it is entirely possible that the Court could decide that the “plain reading” of the second amendment doesn’t mean the citizens have a right to bear arms but rather that the right to bear arms only applies to those who are a part of a militia. In the words of the court, they desire to not cause “calamities” with their rulings and certainly it can be argued that citizens being able to have arms can lead to “calamities”.
And don’t take comfort in any notion that the second amendment is somehow “settled.” This same court apparently cannot distinguish a mandate and penalty and a tax. It has members who cannot even be bothered to mention “exercise” when mentioning the first amendment consequences of their fiat..sorry..ruling.
After Thursday and Friday, I’m not taking anything for granted with this court where Anthony Kennedy and John Roberts are the perpetual wild cards.
The left started broaching the idea of repealing the 2nd Amendment after Clinton’s election in 1992. The Great Conservative Intellectual George Will began his call for the end to the right to bear arms about that time.
I can’t remember a worse week politically. The Leftists are now emboldened. It’s about to get really bad. If you have a blog, start looking for a server in Russia. The rest of us are going to have to start running proxies.
