EATING CHICKEN SPITEFULLY

eating-chick-fil-aA Canadian publication, The Star, has printed an unintentionally hilarious editorial, “Chick-fil-A Is Ideologically Opposed to My Existence,” by a very disgruntled LGBTQWTF writer, Andrew Wheeler (no relation whatever to Jack Wheeler!).

Mr. Wheeler is very upset. His outrage and dismay have been caused by your love of delicious chicken from Chick-fil-A. How dare you???  In his rant, Wheeler rails against the insensitivity of people who love chicken and waffle fries because it hurts his feelings, or something.

But his rant is more than laughable.  It contains the whole reason why the LGBTQWTF mafia is never going to win over rational people.

KAVANAUGH BREAKS THE DEMOCRATS

kavanaugh-winkDo Democrats not see what’s happening?

Rarely does a story implode as spectacularly as the New York Times’ latest effort to resurrect the claim that Justice Brett Kavanaugh was a teenage sexual predator.

By now, you know the facts: The Times published an excerpt from a forthcoming book alleging that another woman suffered the same form of abuse and objectification from Kavanaugh that was alleged by another accuser, Deborah Ramirez.

No sooner had the universe of liberal political observers and politicians worked themselves up into a frenzy than the story fell apart.

Ms. Ramirez herself doesn’t even remember the experience that was supposedly so traumatizing—a revelation that was inexplicably omitted from the Times’ original draft.  Inexplicably – yeah, right.

TRUMPED OUT – REALLY??

trump-supportersGoogle the phrase “Trump weariness” or “Trump exhaustion” and dozens of progressive articles pop up suggesting that Trump’s base is worn out by Trump’s antics.  Are Trump supporters then weary?  Are they tired of winning?

The August jobs report “unexpectedly” reminds us that never have so many Americans been at work. The 3.7 percent unemployment rate continues to be the lowest peacetime unemployment figure in 50 years. Black and Hispanic unemployment remain at record lows.

Workers’ wages continue to rise. Talk of recession is belied by low interest, low inflation, low unemployment, and a strong stock market. The result is that millions of Americans enjoy far better lives than they had in 2016.

Yes, that’s really exhausting, isn’t it?

CRACKERS AND FRACKERS – THE KEYS TO 2020?

Monaca, Pennsylvania -- All Darrin Kelly wanted for the energy workers in Western Pennsylvania was that the Democrat presidential hopefuls would talk to them before going to war against shale.

That opportunity slipped away when Elizabeth Warren joined Bernie Sanders in calling for a total fracking ban.

"On my first day as president, I will sign an executive order that puts a total moratorium on all new fossil fuel leases for drilling offshore and on public lands. And I will ban fracking -- everywhere," Warren tweeted on Sept. 6.

"The natural gas industry employs well over 40,000 people just in this region alone," Kelly said. "Countless more indirectly, providing economic opportunity for generations of families and communities that had been hollowed out by the demise of manufacturing and coal in this area."

Donald Trump won Pennsylvania with just over 40,000 votes in 2016.

HALF-FULL REPORT 09/13/19

socialism-will-kill-houston I’m confident you managed to avoid watching the Dems’ circular firing squad last night (9/12), so Trump 2020 campaign manager Brad Parscale was kind enough to sum it up for you:

vote-for-no-freedom The highlight of the whole affair was POTUS trolling it by Team Trump flying a huge banner over Houston that you see above.  It’s absolutely true, of course.  Okay, we’re off on a MAGA HFR!

THE ACID OF DEMOCRAT ANGER

angry-dems-since-slavery"Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured." ―Mark Twain

The Democrat candidates for president exude nothing but bilious anger and hatred for the president and his supporters.  Not one of them ever utters a positive word, an optimistic word, or a hopeful word.

One thing they’ve made clear: these are the most hate-filled and, at the same time, the most ignorant group of people ever to grace a stage.  If they actually think their relentless fear-mongering on issues only the socialists and communists pretend to care about will work, they need to be put in a straitjacket.

FIVE TAKEAWAYS FROM NORTH CAROLINA

republicans-sweep-nc-special-houseIn the swing state of North Carolina, it was happy-dance time for the beleaguered Republicans.  Two hotly contested congressional races both went solidly into the GOP camp, helping the Republicans in the crazies-run House.

State senator Dan Bishop won in the 9th District, and Greg Murphy won in the 3rd District, and both will now get the opportunity to tell Reps. Ilhan Omar and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that they are out to lunch.  It was a conservative blowout.

Five things stick out about it now.  You’ll like them all.

EIGHTEEN YEARS AFTER 9/11 AND WE HAVE ISLAM TERRORISTS IN CONGRESS??

islam-terror-in-congress18 years later, are we safer? Have we defeated Radical Islamic terrorism and those who sympathize with them, encourage them, fund them and cover up for them?

The short answer is NO.

Not only no, but we now have two terror sympathizers serving in the U.S. Congress as elected officials, using their position to normalize and even stand up for terror-linked people and organizations.

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, as recently as few weeks ago, August 25th, tweeted her support for a chief financier of Al-Shabaab, the U.S.-designated Somali terror group is responsible for carrying out the deadliest terror attack in Somalia's history where almost 600 people were killed just 2 years ago.

Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the Hamas sympathizer, doesn’t even try to hide or camouflage her loyalty to the terror group and their supporters.

How is this possible?

THE FOREVER WAR

911-twin-towers-burningFour years after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the Japanese empire and its Nazi partner had been relegated to the dustbin of history, and America was rebuilding from the ravages of warfare.

Eighteen years after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, the United States was in the middle of a long period of peace and prosperity, and was looking confidently into a future that promised to be even better. The contrast with today, the eighteenth anniversary of the jihad bombings of New York and Washington, couldn’t be more stark.

Bernie Sanders and other Democrat presidential candidates have decried America’s “forever wars” and vowed to end them so that more American resources can be devoted to the chimera of climate change, the vastly overestimated “white supremacist” threat, and the deception of “Islamophobia.”

CLIMATE CHANGE IS A HOAX

climate-change-hoaxI hate science, evidently, because I’m woke to the manifest truth about what the leftist elite currently calls “climate change."

Like some suckers still do, I once believed that “science” was a rigorous process where you tested theories and revised those theories in response to objective evidence. But in today’s shabby practice, “science” is just a package of self-serving lies buttressing the transnational liberal elite’s preferred narrative.

Our alleged betters hope that labeling their propaganda “science” will science-shame you into silence about what everyone knows is a scam.

Nah. “Climate change” is a hoax. Come arrest me for felony denial.

IT’S TIME TO PUT AN END TO THE CLIMATE CULT

libtard-cultThe climate cult has gotten out of hand.  It now threatens to prevail in politics by convincing the ignorant that the science is settled.

Anybody who has a basic understanding of the science knows that it is not settled.  A number of inconvenient facts seriously undermine the idea that catastrophic global warming caused by humans is about to overwhelm us.  Here are three of them:

  1. Emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere are causing far less heating than the climate models have been predicting.
  2. There is no scientifically reputable method for measuring the human contribution to carbon dioxide emissions relative to emissions from natural sources.
  3. Measured sea level rise in recent decades is insufficient to account for the alarmist forecasts about the amount of rise by the end of the century.
As long as the general public is unaware of realities such as these, the cultists will continue to proselytize using emotional appeals about saving the world and moralistic shaming of any who disagree.

HOW BETO GOT HIS NAME

This is the true story of how young Bobby O’Rourke got his childhood nickname.

Robert Francis O’Rourke was a silver spoon baby with wealthy parents in El Paso.  His father, Pat O’Rourke, a local Irish-American politician, married into one of El Paso’s wealthiest families, with his wife (maiden name Melissa Martha Williams) running the business.   As you can see following in the O’Rourke and Williams genealogy, there is not a drop of Hispanic blood in Bobby.

Born in 1972, Bobby grew up in El Paso being taken care of by the family’s Hispanic servants who nicknamed him “Beto,” short for Roberto, Robert in Spanish.  It was a joke among them, for the servants also spoke English, the language of the O’Rourke-Williams  families.

Bobby’s parents never got the joke, nor noticed their Hispanic staff quietly laughing among themselves by addressing young Robert as… “Master Beto.”

So his folks started calling him Beto themselves.  But for the servants, he’ll always be Master Beto, as he should be for all of us.

HALF-FULL REPORT 09/06/19

global-warming-scandalIt’s great to be back in the HFR saddle again.  I am so appreciative of Jack Kelly and Mike Ryan being so capably in my stead for the last three weeks.

What has really blown me away, however, is the reaction of TTPers on the Forum to Mike Ryan’s HFR last Friday (8/30).  It should blow you away too if you haven’t yet immersed yourself in it.

Frankly, it is simply astounding.  The comments of your fellow TTPers are so thought-provoking, incisive, informative, rationally conservative, and stone-cold brilliant that you will simply not find their intellectual equal elsewhere on the Internet.

I implore you to take the time to read them and judge for yourself.  There couldn’t be a better example of the unequaled value of To The Point membership.

One example would be the Forum comment of Skye that’s particularly germane to what is the main news story of this week.

WHY DO SO MANY YOUNG PEOPLE CALL THEMSELVES SOCIALIST?

socialist-now“Socialist!” is no longer a McCarthyite slur.

Rather, the fresh celebrity “Squad” of newly elected identity-politics congresswomen – Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, and Rashida Tlaib –  often either claim to be socialists or embrace socialist ideas.

A recent Harris poll showed that about half of so-called millennials would like to live in a socialist country.

Here are the ingredients for a culture that emphasizes the self, blames others for a sense of personal failure, and wants instant social justice and for money to grow on trees.
