CARPE DONKTUM’S “THIS IS CNN!”

Read more...

HALF-FULL REPORT 04/04/19

No one can honestly say POTUS Trump hasn’t got the best sense of humor since Ronald Reagan.  Yesterday (4/04) he tweeted meme master Carpe Donktum’s latest, poking fun at Creepy Joe, entitling it, “Welcome Back Joe!”.

welcome-back-joe“It’s fun to watch Democrats cannibalize each other,” noted Jack Kelly in “The Hit On Creepy Joe” on Wednesday (4/03).  Biden certainly has earned his sobriquet with all his pedophilic sniffing and groping on repeated YouTube display.  There’s something mentally wrong with this guy.

That seems to be an occupational hazard of many if not most professional politicians.  Since age 26, Biden has been nothing but – elected a City Council member in his local Delaware town in 1969, then a Senator in 1972 until Obama’s VP in 2008.

He’s never earned a real paycheck in his life.  Instead, he’s spent his whole life trying to control other people’s lives.  That’s what attracts people like him into politics, for there’s something not right with them mentally to begin with.

Yesterday (4/04), Patricia McCarthy explained that “The 2020 Democrat Candidates Are Psychotic.” To be psychotic is to be so delusional that you can’t determine what is real and not, and to lack any empathy for other real human beings.

If you have psycho delusions of grandeur, feeling you’re more important than anyone else with a compulsion to control other’s lives since you know what’s good for them and they don’t, what do you do?  Become a politician.

HIGH ADVENTURE

river-rapids[This is the third article in TTP’s new Monday feature on Adventure & Exploration.  Hope you enjoy it – JW.]

Are you up for a real adventure in your life?  Not group tour stuff but the real deal, the genuine article, the Real McCoy.

Ready?  This is going to be true High Adventure in both senses of the word – for our entire experience is going to be over two miles high (11,000ft/3,400m) in a hidden region of remotest Asia where the world’s most exotic culture still exists… that of Tibet.

Having driven many thousands of kilometers crisscrossing Chinese-Occupied Tibet, I’ve seen how Beijing has destroyed Tibetan culture, turning it into a Disney-type fake theme park for Chinese tourists.

Yet there’s a part of Tibet that the British, when they ruled India, prevented China from capturing.  Monasteries over a thousand years old still flourish there today.  There’s nothing else like it on earth – and in the remotest part of it is The Grand Canyon of the Himalayas.  Running its Class IV and V rapids is one of the greatest whitewater experiences on our planet.  This is High Adventure.

THE HIT ON CREEPY JOE

china-bidding-bidenIt’s fun to watch Democrats cannibalize each other.

Former Vice President Joe Biden, who leads big in polls for the Democrat nomination for president, was preparing to throw his hat in the ring. So other Dems are trying to take him out.

Biden touched me inappropriately in 2014, Nancy Flores, a former Democrat state senator in Nevada, said in this article last Friday (3/29). That wasn’t the only time Biden has done that, the far left Webzine Vox chimed in later that day.

That’s for sure. Biden is by no means the only pervert sexual predator among prominent Democrat politicians, but he is the only pervert sexual predator stupid enough to molest his victims at public events.

These clips of “Creepy Uncle Joe” nuzzling, fondling, sniffing and kissing women and children, compiled two years ago by Richard Armande Mills, are sure to gross you out.  His corruption, with his son Hunter for example, may gross out voters even more.

IN THE RUSSIA COLLUSION HUNT THE HUNTERS ARE NOW THE HUNTED

a-nations-survivalThe irony of the entire Russian collusion hoax is that accusers who cried the loudest about leaking, collusion, lying, and obstruction are themselves soon very likely to be accused of just those crimes.

Now that Robert Mueller’s 674-day, $30 million investigation is over and has failed to find the original goal of its mandate—evidence of a criminal conspiracy between the Trump presidential campaign and the Russian government to sway the 2016 election.

And now that thousands of once-sealed government documents will likely be released in unredacted form, those who eagerly assumed the role of the hunters may become the hunted, due to their own zealous violation of the nation’s trust and its laws.

Let’s take Lying Under Oath, Foreign Collusion, Leaking, Obstruction of Justice, Conflict of Interest, and see how James Comey, Andrew McCabe, James Clapper, John Brennan, Samantha Power, Susan Rice, Loretta Lynch, Rod Rosenstein and others including Robert Mueller participated.

THE 2020 DEMOCRAT CANDIDATES ARE PSYCHOTIC

psychotic-youThere was a superb column at The Federalist recently (3/13) by George S. Bardmesser: "Every Time Democrats Talk, I Want to Vote for Trump Twice."

It is as hilarious as it is frightening.  It is also a courageous confession, especially for a lawyer who lives in D.C.  Let's hope he has personal security.

 

I am betting there are millions of us, many more millions than voted for Trump in 2016, who agree with the man.  He was a reluctant Trump-voter but is now completely on board the Trump train.  Why?

Because the current crop of Democrat candidates are moonbats all.  Each of them is a thorough socialist nutjob.  Each of them is trying to out-fanaticalize the others.   Each of them is absolutely clueless about the American people outside the far-left bubbles all of them inhabit.

Every one of them.

“UNPLANNED” IS MY STORY AND YOU CAN’T UNSEE IT

I worked at Planned Parenthood for eight years, rising through the ranks from volunteer escort, to clinic counselor to clinic director.

I was awarded the Employee of the Year prize in 2008 and was one of the youngest clinic directors in the country, setting an example of how to run a clinic to churn out as many abortions – the biggest money maker – as I could. Then it all changed when I was asked to assist in an ultrasound-guided abortion.

Some images stick with you forever, images that you can’t unsee. The photo of the first responder carrying the limp child in his arms after the Oklahoma City bombing. The photos of the Twin Towers falling. These images burn in your mind, causing you to replay them over and over again. They are impactful.

That was what I saw on the ultrasound screen.

THE SURVEILLANCE ARMS RACE

The Eye of Sauron
The Eye of Sauron

As quite a few TTPers know, Cryptohippie has moved to routers for our services. What they may not know is why, and that’s simply because the surveillance arms race requires it.

Things have gotten much worse and we can’t provide serious protection without this upgrade. I’d like you to understand why.

Sauron Is On Steroids

I suspect that almost all of us are familiar with the Eye of Sauron from the Lord of The Rings Trilogy. In one place Tolkien called it, “the Eye piercing all shadows.” It makes a wonderful metaphor for mass surveillance systems, which now see through almost any shadow to surveil the billions of us at once.

The truth about mass surveillance is that it’s far worse than people understand.

CHINA NEVER HAS BEEN A SUPERPOWER – AND WON’T BE ANYTIME SOON

china-super-power“After a 200-year hiatus—since the Qing dynasty began to weaken, in the early nineteenth century—China is returning to the world stage as a great power,” wrote Robert Kaplan in the Atlantic. “That may be usual for China, but it is unusual for the West.”

Kaplan, in his piece titled “China: A World Power Again,” maintained that the period of Chinese weakness was an aberration, merely an interlude between natural eras of tianchao—Celestial Kingdom—grandeur.

There are many contemporary reasons—contracting economy, collapsing demography, crumbling politics—why Kaplan is wrong and why Beijing’s challenge to America and the international system will almost surely fall short.

But history also suggests China’s path to glory is impassable. As an initial matter, the popular conception of China rests on a gross misreading of the past. The country, in short, has never been dominant on “the world stage,” as Kaplan and others put it. And it won’t be anytime soon.

HALF-FULL REPORT 03/29/19

donald-dems-daddy Champagne and popcorn aren’t the usual combo for a celebration, but they sure are this week.

No ifs, ands, or buts.  This is a Victory Week for the POTUS, for America, for you and me.  Time to feel good, pop the corks, and plunge your fingers into a bucket of well-buttered popcorn to watch the show

How can we not when the week began waking up Monday morning (3/25) with this NY Post cover?

no-collusion-no-obstruction It’s been a barnburner of a week and this is a barnburner of a HFR.  Let’s go!

ISLANDS OF MYSTERY AND LEGEND II

easter-island-heads hms-bounty [This is the second article in TTP’s new Monday feature on Adventure & Exploration.  Hope you enjoy it – JW.]

In the Spring of last year, 2018, we conducted our first Islands of Mystery and Legend.  For those of you who weren’t able to join us then and requested a second opportunity, here we go.  It’s this coming August:  August 14-27, 2019.

For those who regard our planet as endlessly fascinating, there are few places on earth they yearn to see more than the world’s two great Islands of Mystery and Legend lost in the remotest South Pacific – Easter Island and Pitcairn Island.  You’ll see why with all the photos.

THE DIRTIEST POLITICAL TRICK IN MODERN US HISTORY

There was never any evidence that Donald Trump “colluded” with Russia to steal the 2016 presidential election from Hillary Clinton. It was all a hoax. It constituted what is surely the dirtiest political trick in modern American history.

Democrats in Congress like Adam Schiff, Eric Swalwell, Richard Blumenthal, Nancy Pelosi, Jerold Nadler, Maxine Waters, and so many others all claimed without a scintilla of proof that Trump “colluded” with Russia. For two years, they pronounced him guilty in the court of public opinion.

Will they ever apologize?  Of course not. They will conjure some vacuous excuse and move on to the next accusation. They’re already doing it.

Many journalists were equally reckless and malevolent. Will network brass take action to punish those who so egregiously exaggerated or, in some cases, even lied to Americans? Not a chance.

WHAT DID OBAMA KNOW AND WHEN DID HE KNOW IT?

AG Lynch, Obama, Comey, ValJar
AG Lynch, Obama, Comey, ValJar

Wow.

Here is the link to the Mueller Report as provided by Attorney General William Barr. It says, among other things, this:

“The report explains that the Special Counsel and his staff thoroughly investigated allegations that members of the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump, and others associated with it, conspired the Russian government in its efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, or sought to obstruct the related federal investigations.

 

In the report, the Special Counsel noted that, in completing his investigation, he employed 19 lawyers who were assisted by a team of approximately 40 FBI agents, intelligence analysts, forensic accountants, and other professional staff.

 

The Special Counsel issued more than 2,800 subpoenas, executed nearly 500 search warrants, obtained more than 230 orders for communications records, issued almost 50 orders authorizing use of pen registers, made 13 requests to foreign governments for evidence, and interviewed approximately 500 witnesses.”

The summary goes on to say:
“The Special Counsel’s investigation did not find that the Trump campaign or anyone associated with it conspired or coordinated with Russia in its efforts to influence the 2016 U. S. presidential election. As the report states: ‘[T]he investigation did not establish that members of the Trump Campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities’.”
Well.

What is not said here? There is no word about the role of then-President Obama and/or anyone in the Obama administration when it comes to the question of directing this entire effort to sabotage first the Trump campaign and then, when that failed, the Trump presidency itself.

DEMS GO THIRD PARTY

The proof of Ilhan Omar
The proof of Ilhan Omar

I’ve long been forecasting that the Democrat Party was headed for a replay of its last big crackup, when it nominated George McGovern for president in 1972, and he carried only one state (Massachusetts).

So far, the Dems’ big field of candidates makes me think something slightly different.

I still think the Dems are headed for a debacle, but it seems to me that the party has already splintered.  The candidates attracting the most attention look to me like third-party candidates, the sort who run against “mainstream” politicians only to vanish from sight and memory.

The difference is that, this time, one of these crazy characters may well win the nomination.  Craziest, and most worrisome, is how they’ve fallen victim to the anti-Semitism of pro-terrorist sympathizer Ilhan Omar.
