’tis interesting

There are those who claim to actually believe the accusations against Roy Moore.

And a great deal of those women say they believe the accusers because there are more than one.

Yet those same folks, oddly enough, failed to believe (actually attacked the accusers) those women who accused William Jefferson Clinton of his assaults….Even though there were more than one accuser.

I don’t know if the accusers of Roy Moore are real or made up by the Post newspaper organization. I do know that they paid for the accusers to come forward and “Tell their Story” (I don’t know for sure that William Clinton’s accusers were telling the truth either, BTW). But I do know that there is a double standard in how the Media chooses to cover these stories. How they are slanted and how they are reported (if they are reported at all). Was William Clinton guilty? Probably. Did he get away with it because he was approved of by the media establishment? Likely.

And there is the rub. Moore’s accusers lack credibility, but are being given a platform for their accusations. Clinton’s accusers did not lack credibility, but were pretty much denied a platform for their stories to be heard.

Whut?

What a terrible coincidence:

“He said authorities have no reason to believe Suiter’s killing was connected to his pending testimony.” (watch the video, he even keeps a straight face)

(And yet)

“Davis also said that Suiter is believed to have been killed with his own service weapon, which was fired at close range, and that there was evidence of a struggle before the shooting.”

Axxidents happen., yah know.
“Snitches get stitches”.

Does anyone believe that cops are immune to large amounts of money? I mean, thery are human, after all. Plus, this is Baltimore. Always honest cops in cities like that, right? I mean, it isn’t like LA (Rampart) or N’ awlins or Philly or something, ya know? 

Happy Thanksgiving

Be safe, enjoy the time you are spending with Friends or Family (may you have the option).

And for those standing a post or taking the duty somewhere away from said friends and family, you have my respect and thanks.

54 years ago

The US President was shot and killed by a Magic Bullet fired by Lee Harvey Oswald, who was later killed by Jack Ruby.  

There are those who believe that the whole thing happened in the manner accepted by the Warren Commission. Then again there are those who still believe that Santa Claus lives at the north pole and brings eggs to kids every year at Easter or somesuch too.

I still wonder who had him killed, and why….and how they got so many folks to believe that the story that was postulated was, in fact, the Real and Honest ™ Truth. (And part of me REALLY wants to know how they did it, just as an intellectual exercise)

Then again, I see all these folks in power get away with so many things, and the Media and the Law Enforcement folks just let ’em….and eventually we good sheep citizens forget about it enough to let things go back to Business as Usual.

But if you believe that Oswald did it (or at least all of it) then you either haven’t bothered to look at the details or know nothing about ballistics or even basic physics.

But then again, that is most of the folks who watch the news, innit? 

Depends on how you define it, I suppose

“Sixty percent of women have “experienced sexual harassment””.

Then again, 28 percent of “modern” women thing a wink by a male towards them is harassment. Or commenting on her appearance is harassment (depends though, on who is doing the comment,, innit ladies….If it is the “right” guy, the one you were trying to garner interest from, then it is ok, right girls?).

Oddly,  most older women don’t think that much of that is harassment. Of course, real ladies know how to handle such things, it is only the Millenials and the last half of the Baby Boomer women who can’t handle a wink or a compliment. Real Women know how to shut it down before it starts, but there are few Real Women left in this world.

This shit is getting out of hand.

Ladies, I think it is time you grew up a bit. For at least the past 20 years, you’ve had the upper hand when it came to complaining to HR.  If you didn’t do anything about it then, then it must not have been that bad….

Seriously. Grow.The.Fuck.Up. Y’all aren’t 9 years old, stop acting like you are. If it is “I am woman, hear me Roar” then learn to deal with male attention. Else men are gonna think that those chauvinists and religious fundamentalist are correct, and you shouldn’t be let out without a keeper until you are married (’cause, apparently, y’all are too frail to deal with an unshielded world alone), and then, once married,  you are your husband’s problem. What happened to “women are equal to men”? Either you are, or you ain’t, ladies.

Y’all need to read (Link fixt)

this:

When I ask this of any people who are not steeped in politics, their answer seems to be “because in South American countries there are the rich and the starving and nothing in between, and we’re becoming like that.”


We are?  According to whom?  Sure, the vaunted 1% has a lot more than the rest of us, but where are the starving multitudes who are in need of a crumb to eat, while billionaires circle the world in jets?  Where are the ragged children starving in the streets, while we party?

Nowhere, that’s where.  Sure, there’s need in America, but that need is more often than not the result of individual choices, of a need for drugs or alcohol, or simply an inability to plan. 

Read the whole damned thing.

If you are nodding your head afterwards, then we can be friends, you and I.

If you disagree, then we can’t.
