Do we even have Primary elections?

I mean, if the delegates can vote exactly how the party elite tells them to their conscience and not represent the will of the voters, then what, exactly, are the primaries for?

     But if no candidate has a majority of delegates during the first ballot at the convention, then the          delegates are free to cast their votes for anyone they choose.


     “Donald Trump talks about polls, polls, polls,” he said. “That’s been the theme of his campaign.           Using that methodology, I’m looking at polls, and that leads me to believe at this point that                  Donald Trump can’t beat Hillary Clinton.”

(Not to mention that you and I are paying for the farce primary elections, when they should be paid for by the parties benefitting from those election, rather than the taxpayers)

Kasich:
“The Republicans should have “Fixed” the country when they had control”

That assumes, of course, that you assume that this country was “broken”.

I don’t see that. ‘Twasn’t perfect, but wasn’t”broken”. It worked. Worked well. The majority of the people were able to make a living. Some were very rich, most weren’t Some were very poor….Most lived, for the most part, well. Yes, there were those on the edges who didn’t, either by bad luck or (generally) by bad choices. But they had a safety net.

Now,we are bringing the middle group down, by many points, in order to raise the small percentage by a point or two. And it didn’t, really, affect the affluent at all.

If anyone or anything has “broken” the country, it wasn’t the Republicans. They might not have “fixed” it, but they didn’t break it.

of the $15/hour that they demand:

Burger King workers smash windows after prank caller tells them to.

Intelligence is one link to higher pay…..

Were I the owner I would press charges against the employees.

‘Cause I get to go back home today….

and past the TSA probulation squad.

Muahahahahahahaha.

I kept my mouth shut and I didn’t get hassled by the TSA, and I didn’t get arrested at OHare airport.

But Jesus, what security theater.

Not gonna say what I could have (or may have?) gotten past the TSA. Nope. They were, however, vigilant in looking for the razor blade that wasn’t in my safety razor handle (I mailed one ahead).

But their security really sucks.

As I said: Security theater.

Yeah, you got the used lumberjack boots…evenly worn jeans, and the L.L.Bean flannel shirt.

Nice beard too.

But your office worker-soft hands betray you to anyone who cares to look.

Real workers boots aren’t evenly distressed, their jeans are worn at the pockets, and the knees, not evenly all over. And an unworn LLBean flannel tops it, bro. You are only fooling yourself…and maybe others like you. .

I should be embarked on a Super Secret mission, at a somewhat secret location.

I should (assuming I survive) be back in about a week.

Expect posting to be light for a week(ish).

When I was a young lad, there was a sign that said:

“Get US out of the UN” .

And then an address for the John Birch Society. One time I wrote that information down as we passed by….

I did a bit of research, and found out a LOT about the UN. It wasn’t pretty then….and it is even less pretty now. They were on the edge of irrelevant 45 years ago…

Fast Forward to today, when I read that the UN had decided that Israel is the top Human Rights Violator,,,,And the top violator of the rights of women….and a whole slew of other denunciations against Israel. 
‘
Add in the total mismanagement of the UN’s peacekeeping, it’s inability to respond to any aggressions, or any natural or other disaster, the fact that they constantly whine for funding, but have money for sculptures and other useless but symbolic things and I can’t help but wonder why, exactly, the US is a part of the UN any more?

And why do we allow the UN to take up all that space in New York? They could go to Brussels and take up space in the now useless NATO headquarters……Yeah, that NATO, the one where most of the member countries have spend so much on socialist programs that they cannot field any military (see Germany and France and Belgium for examples) and are depending (again) on the US to provide the teeth while exerting (partial) control over our military.

Really, the US should give up on such organizations. They are divorced from reality, and simply waste money employing (and entertaining_ a bunch of liberals whose effectiveness is, essentially, zero.

Even bees can be racist. 

For fellow blogger Comrade Misfit.

She’s gotta take her long time companion on his last trip.

He’s crossing the bridge.

This has to be one of the hardest things a responsible pet owner has to do.

I’ve done it, and it is hard, even if it is the right thing.

So spare a thought for her today.And for Jake.

Sadly, it ain’t an April Fools joke
