The NBA (the No Brains Association) just stepped in a huge pile of Chinese crap!

…and then they put their foot in their mouths!!!

Gross!!!

Oh, yes, they, did.

And it couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch of clueless, disingenuous, hypocrites!

chinanba 12

China holds the potential for the NBA to earn billion and billions of dollars in the near future and beyond.

The NBA is HUGE in China…, because the Chinese government allows it to be.

chinabna 6

Remember…, China does not operate quite the same way that America does.

The number of pro basketball (NBA) fans in China is twice the size of the entire U.S. population!

China is the goose that was getting ready to lay an endless supply of golden eggs for the NBA.

Then, last week, Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey felt compelled to tweet out, “Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong.”

Saaaaay what?!

OOOOPS!

Upon learning of the tweet, the Chinese government, who is currently at odds with Hong Kong, immediately said it was going to cut ties with the NBA and the Houston Rockets in particular.

How many lives to you guess Twitter has ruined?

Well, you can add at least one more to that list.

But wait…, what happened?

What happened to NBAers snidely shooting their liberal mouths off, while being praised by their contemporaries and the left in general?

Money.

Money is what happened…, and money rules…, end of story.

chinanba 10

If these ultra-rich NBA prima donnas understand anything, it should be that money is the bottom line.

It’s just that some of our NBA friends are just not as smart as some of the others.
Case in point…, the aforementioned Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey.

The NBA has become pretty political and pretty outspoken the last few years.  We’ve heard from “stars” like LeBron (SheBron) James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Paul shooting their mouths off, as well as coaches Steve Kerr and Gregg Popovich.

chinanba 2

They have all denounced President Trump.  SheBron James has actually stooped low enough to call our president a “bum.”

“From gun control to immigration, Kerr and Popovich are typically outspoken about social issues in the United States.  However, when asked about the controversy Monday, Kerr said it was a ‘bizarre international story’ and ‘vowed to read up on it before commenting,’” according to Ben Shapiro for Fox News.

“In 2017, Commissioner Adam [take me to your leader] Silver actually tried to blackmail the city of Charlotte, North Carolina, by pulling the All-Star Game, all in an attempt to restore the so-called ‘bathroom bill’ for transgender people.”

chinanba 1

chinanba 9chinabna 8

“Silver told CNN just last year that ‘part of being an NBA player’ is social activism and a ‘sense of an obligation, social responsibility and a desire to speak up directly about issues that are important.’ Silver stated the league wants players to ‘be multi-dimensional people and fully participate as citizens.’”

Well, apparently this “social responsibility” and “speaking up directly about issues that are important” only goes so far.

These ideals are great when attacking conservatives and President Trump, but big “no-nos” when they might cost the NBA any money.

So what did the NBA do?

Morey was forced to delete his tweet and genuflect before the Chinese communist government with an apology.

James Harden, a star on Morey’s team, then tweeted, “We apologize. We love China. We love playing there.”

chinanba 7

Silver and the NBA put out an apology in Chinese saying (as translated), “We are extremely disappointed in the inappropriate comment by the general manager of the Houston Rockets.”

Hmmm.  “Social activism” sure looks different these days!

It looks more like “social butt kissing” to me!

It’s amazing how many human rights violations can be excused for a couple billion dollars.

Way to stand firm on your beliefs NBA!

“President Trump mocked two of his frequent critics, NBA head coaches Steve Kerr and Gregg Popovich, because of their responses to the ongoing standoff between the league [the NBA] and China.  Mr. Trump also accused them and the NBA of ‘pandering to China’ after the league scrambled to address the aftermath of a deleted tweet from Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey that supported the human rights protests in Hong Kong.”

chinanba 13

“After an executive bill signing Wednesday, Mr. Trump responded to a question about China applying pressure to the NBA and went directly after Kerr, the Golden State Warriors coach.  ‘I watch this guy Steve Kerr,’ Mr. Trump said. ‘And he was like a little boy, he was so scared to be even answering the question.  He couldn’t answer the question,’ he added. ‘He was shaking “Oh, I don’t know, I don’t know.” He didn’t know how to answer the question. And yet he’ll talk about the United States very badly.’ He also brought up Popovich’s response, but said ‘he didn’t look quite as scared.’”

“Mr. Trump also took aim at the league at large.  ‘I watch the way that Kerr, Popovich, and some of the others were pandering to China and yet to our own country, they don’t – it’s like they don’t respect it,’ Mr. Trump said.”

chinanba 3

chinanba 11

Well said Mr. President…, you’re right on point…, again…, as usual.

WINNING.

You may not believe in “God,” but you should at least believe in a “creator.”

For whatever reason, there are people (various scientists, astronomers, cosmologists, scholars and their disciples) who are bound and determined to convince you there is no “God,” there is no “creator” and that everything we see in the universe “just happened.”

Well, let’s take a look at how exactly, THEY BELIEVE, all of this “happened.”

In “the beginning…,” there was nothing…, except a very small ball with infinite density and intense heat called a Singularity.

I’ve heard scientists say that everything that exists in the universe today was compacted down into something about the size of a pea.

creator 14

The Big Bang theory states that all of the current and past matter in the Universe came into existence at the same time, roughly 13.8 billion years ago. At this time, all matter was compacted into that very small ball.  Then, suddenly, the Singularity exploded (began expanding), and the universe as we know it began.  The explosion also created the physical laws that govern our ever-expanding cosmos.

creator 2

Now I ain’t what these “smart people” would call a genius, but I do have some questions.

Like, in the middle of all of this infinite nothingness, where did this “pea” with everything in it come from?

You can’t create something from nothing…, so where did it come from?

And they’re trying to tell me that all the matter in the universe…, all of the galaxies, all of the suns, all of the planets, everything, was squished into something the size of a pea?

And these scientists, astronomers, cosmologists and scholars actually believe this?

Then we have the issue of “life,” and where did we and all of the living things on Earth come from?

Again, for whatever reason, there are people (various scientists, astronomers, cosmologists, scholars and their disciples) who are bound and determined to convince you there is no “God,” there is no “creator” and that all “life” on Earth “just happened.”

Let’s take a look at how exactly, THEY BELIEVE, “life” came to be.

According to them, the first known single-celled organisms appeared on Earth about 3.5 billion years ago, roughly a billion years after Earth formed. More complex forms of life took longer to evolve, with the first multi-cellular animals not appearing until about 600 million years ago.

Scientists and scholars would have us believe that “life” began way back then in a prehistoric tide pool, which was a “soup” containing all of the chemicals and minerals needed to create “life.”

All of these “building blocks of life” were swirling around in this puddle until they randomly coalesced, formed a single cell creature, and was then somehow sparked into “life.”

Or…, these organisms somehow arrived here on a meteorite from outer space, where they would have had to have been randomly created and sparked to life.

These single celled creatures then multiplied, and over another million years these single cell creature evolved into multi-celled creatures.

多細胞化(日本語)

Then, over another million years, these multi-celled creatures became more and more complex, eventually forming the simplest of sea creatures.

creator 6

After millions of years more, some sea creatures evolved to the point where they crawled out of the sea.

creator 7

It was from this creature, which crawled from the ocean, that all reptiles, birds and mammals are descended from…, including us.

So there you have their explanation for the origins of life on our planet.

Again…, I ain’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I’m not the dullest either, and I do have a few questions and comments.

First of all, a “simple” single celled creature is not that “simple.”

In fact, a single cell is more complex that a space shuttle.  It’s true.

Print

creator 4

I find it very hard to believe that all of the components of even a single cell would manage to randomly fall into place, much less come to “life.”

If you can get past this first part, I guess the rest of it would seem plausible to you as well.

I guess as long as you have a million years to wait, anything can happen!

“God does not play dice with the universe.” – Albert Einstein

According to an article on Everystudent.com, “Einstein of course believed in mathematical laws of nature, so his idea of a ‘God’ was at best someone who formulated the laws and then left the universe alone to evolve according to these laws,’ physicist Vasant Natarajan wrote in an essay.”

“Einstein himself even cleared up the matter in a letter he wrote in 1954…, “I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.”

So I think we can say that even Einstein, who self admittedly did not believe in “God,” believed in a “creator” and admired the work of this “creator.”

Another EveryStudent.com article says we can use our DNA “ to show that science gives reason to believe in God’s existence.”

“British philosopher, Dr. Antony Flew, was a leading spokesperson for atheism, actively involved in debate after debate. However, scientific discoveries within the last 30 years brought him to a conclusion he could not avoid. In a video interview in December 2004 he stated, ‘Super-intelligence is the only good explanation for the origin of life and the complexity of nature.’  Prominent in his conclusion were the discoveries of DNA. Here’s why.”

“DNA in our cells is very similar to an intricate computer program.”

“A computer program is made up of a series of ones and zeros (called binary code). The sequencing and ordering of these ones and zeros is what makes the computer program work properly.”

“In the same way, DNA is made up of four chemicals, abbreviated as letters A, T, G, and C. Much like the ones and zeros, these letters are arranged in the human cell like this: CGTGTGACTCGCTCCTGAT and so on. The order in which they are arranged instructs the cell’s actions.”

creator 10

“What is amazing is that within the tiny space in every cell in your body, this code is three billion letters long!!”

“To grasp the amount of DNA information in one cell, ‘a live reading of that code at a rate of three letters per second would take thirty-one years, even if reading continued day and night.’  Wait, there’s more.”

“It has been determined that 99.9% of your DNA is similar to everyone’s genetic makeup.  What is uniquely you comes in the fractional difference in how those three billion letters are sequenced in your cells.”

“The U.S. government is able to identify everyone in our country by the arrangement of a nine-digit social security number. Yet, inside every cell in you is a three-billion-lettered DNA structure that belongs only to you. This code identifies you and continually instructs your cells’ behavior.”

“Dr. Francis Collins, director of the Human Genome Project (that mapped the human DNA structure) said that one can ‘think of DNA as an instructional script, a software program, sitting in the nucleus of the cell.’”

“Perry Marshall, an information specialist, comments on the implications of this. ‘There has never existed a computer program that wasn’t designed…[whether it is] a code, or a program, or a message given through a language, there is always an intelligent mind behind it.’”

“Just as former atheist Dr. Antony Flew questioned, it is legitimate to ask oneself regarding this three billion letter code instructing the cell…who wrote this script? Who placed this working code, inside the cell?”

“How can one explain this sophisticated messaging, coding, residing in our cells?”

“When looking at the DNA structure within the human body, we cannot escape the presence of intelligent (incredibly intelligent) design.”

We cannot escape the existence of a “creator.”

These scientists and scholars try to lump their theory of evolution into one general evolution theory.  But in truth, there are different types of “evolution.”

Their big fairy tale version of evolution happening over millions and millions of years is called MACROevolution.

creator 8

creator 9

MICROevolution refers to changes within a species or small group of organisms over a relatively short period of time.

We are allowed to believe in MICROevolution without believing in MACROevolution.

These scientists, astronomers, cosmologists, scholars and their disciples, are always pitting science against “God,” as if we have to choose one or the other.

This is a false narrative.

“God” loves science.

“God” invented science and all of the scientific laws we live by.

This is just another one of the big lies that these liberal pied pipers are attempting to morph into accepted facts.

creator 15

I think this article successfully used science, or the lack thereof, to establish that our world, and we, had a “creator.”

What if a new “whistleblower” “blew the whistle” on the two original “whistleblowers?”

Hey…, one good “whistle blow” deserves another…, don’t you agree?

blowers 7

First off…, what exactly is a “whistleblower?”

According to Merriam-Webster, a “whistleblower” is, “an employee who brings wrongdoing by an employer or other employees to the attention of a government or law enforcement agency and who is commonly vested by statute with rights and remedies for retaliation.”

In this case, the “statute with rights and remedies for retaliation” is The Whistleblower Protection Act.  “The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 is a United States federal law that protects federal whistleblowers who work for the government and report the possible existence of an activity constituting a violation of law, rules, or regulations, or mismanagement, gross waste of funds, abuse of authority or a substantial and specific danger to public health and safety.

I feel a case could be made against the two original whistleblowers that their partisan, premeditated, disingenuous, frivolous and fraudulent claims, could be considered a “gross waste of funds,” not to mention an illegitimate attempt to harm the reputation and effectiveness of a sitting president.

How much taxpayer money is being wasted here?

The Mueller witch hunt is said to have wasted well over $200 million.

And if that’s what they said it costed, then it was probably twice that!

If this impeachment hoax/circus goes on much longer, I’m sure it won’t take long before it approaches tens of millions of dollars as well.

It has become pretty apparent that the whistleblowers coordinated their complaints with impeach-happy democrat members of Congress, in order to continue to harass and impede President Trump.

blowers 8

It’s a shame that the democrats stooped low enough to use the whistleblower system as their chosen method to attack The President this time.

The whistleblower program is a well-intentioned law that has been co-opted by the democrats in order to try and “insulate” their accusers from any kind of cross examination or repercussions.

blowers 11

I must admit that it was an imaginative scheme.

The only problem is the democrats chose to “blow the whistle” on President Trump for something the Obama administration and Vice-President Biden actually did!

Ha!  What a bunch of maroons!

blowers 10

blowers 5

blowers 4

blowers 1

blowers 6

Then…, Nancy Pelosi chose to start her unofficial impeachment inquiry based on the whistleblower’s second hand, hearsay, knowledge, a day before President Trump released an actual transcript of the conversation in question, showing there was nothing referred to that could be considered improper at all.

blowers 13

Like they say, “Stupid is as stupid does.” – Forrest Gump

blowers 3

It will be interesting to see how the democrats choose to try and save some face.

The democrats have made their filthy bed, and now they want push everyone into it.

They don’t even want to lie in it!

Will Ms. Pelosi pull the impeachment plug on “the fairy tale impeachment,” or will she and her co-conspirators choose to double down and come up with even more lies and disinformation?

Stay tuned for the next episode of “As the Stomach Turns!”

WINNING!

Are we “politically polarized” in America now?

Newt Gingrich’s daughter, Jackie Gingrich Cushman, thinks we are.

america 2

She feels, as a country, “we are engaged in a battle for our soul.”

I would tend to agree.

But it’s also a question of what’s fair and what’s unfair.

And a question of what’s true and what’s a lie?

And a question of what’s right and what’s wrong?

And a question of what’s good and what’s evil?

Jackie Gingrich Cushman, has written a new book called “Our Broken America,” which discusses “the polarization” and “the battle.”

america 1

“During my research for the book, I discovered that 55 percent of Republicans and 64 percent of Democrats say they have few or no friends in the other major political party,” Gingrich Cushman says.

I can see that.

I mean…, on many issues, it would seem to be okay to “agree to disagree.”

But with some of the issues of today, I have a hard time with that philosophy.

For example:

If you’re okay with killing a baby seconds before it is about to be born…, then we probably won’t be friends.

america 3

america 4

If you’re okay with attacking the 2nd amendment and disarming America’s law abiding citizens…, then we probably won’t be friends.

america 5

america 6

If you’re okay with letting anyone and everyone cross the border into our country, whenever they want, and without any question or control…, then we probably won’t be friends.

america 8

If you’re okay with protecting illegal immigrants that are already here, who have committed crimes against legal U.S. citizens…, then we probably won’t be friends.

america 7

If you’re okay with the removal of God from all aspects of our society…, then we probably won’t be friends.

If you’re not smart enough to realize that the mainstream media has a liberal agenda and is constantly trying to undermine conservatism…, then we probably won’t be friends.

america 17

america 14

If you think we should go back to living like we did in the Middle Ages because you think we need to save the planet…, then we probably won’t be friends.

And there are other issues regarding globalism, the federal government taking over the healthcare system, and taxes…, but you get the picture.

“Most people would agree that our country is experiencing an unprecedented level of political polarization. This country is incredibly diverse in many different ways and our diversity is what makes America so strong. We are economically, geographically, racially, ethnically, and ideologically different from one another and we can either choose to let that diversity strengthen us or we can let it sort us into tiny subgroups that refuse to work together.”

Diversity is fine, Ms. Gingrich Cushman, but not when diversity results in stupidity.

america 15

america 16

“When we are ranting at each other – separated [into] our own corners, informed by our own news sources, and immersed in our own social media clusters – we cannot listen to each other and therefore we cannot solve anything.”

The only problem here, Ms. Gingrich Cushman, is you are assuming that the democrats really want to solve anything.

america 11

“Is political polarization dangerous to our country? My opinion is yes, there is too much polarization,” according to Ms. Gingrich Cushman.

I agree that political polarization is dangerous for our country…, but what is the alternative?

Are we supposed to just turn our backs while the radical left-wing whackos send our country into a state of chaos?

Think about it.

america 13

The only reason we’re even talking about political polarization is because conservatives all across our country decided to finally take a stand against all of this liberal craziness and elect Donald Trump.

And thank God we did.

america 19

Conservatives are being victimized by “political bigots” almost daily now.

Wait…, what?  “Political bigots?”

Yes…, “political bigots.”

We all tend to associate bigotry with racism or cultural differences.

But “bigotry” is defined as “the intolerance toward those who hold different opinions from oneself.”

And like I said, we see this intolerance, by “the left,” displayed constantly these days.

bigots 9

Hence, “political bigotry.”

bigots 1

According to Brie Stimson of Fox News, “A charity event planned in honor of an officer killed in a 2018 mass shooting at a country music bar in in Southern California has been postponed indefinitely — reportedly because a police chief [Thousand Oaks, CA, Police Chief Tim Hagel] didn’t want Republicans invited.”

Well isn’t he special?!

Isn’t he the enlightened one?!

Isn’t he the intolerant one?!

How rude!

What a B-I-G-O-T, BIGOT!

“The Blue Bowl, a charity flag football game, was intended to raise money for the family of fallen Ventura County Sgt. Ron Helus as well as other officers killed in the line of duty, FOX 11 of Los Angeles reported.”

“Helus died last Nov. 7, when a 28-year-old suspect allegedly attacked the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, killing a total of 13 people and wounding about a dozen others.”

bigots 2

“Thousands of dollars had already been raised for fallen officers’ families, but the money is now being returned to donors because Thousand Oaks Police Chief Tim Hagel reportedly withdrew the police department because Trump supporters would be speaking at the event.”

Where do these people come from, and who do they think they are?

He should resign his position as Thousand Oaks Police Chief and assume his position as the Chief of the liberal thought police!

bigots 11

“He basically said over and over in the conversation, ‘This is not Trump country, that slogan “Make America Great” is not favorable, popular, within 1,200 square miles, and that we don’t want Republicans here.’ ‘I could not believe it,’ Mike Randall, vice president of the Fallen Officers Foundation, said, according to FOX 11.”

“We don’t want Republicans here?!”

Seriously, Chief?

bigots 5

You do realize we live in America, don’t you?

You do realize that Donald Trump is the duly elected President of The United States…, and that California, your state, is one of The United States, don’t you?

You do realize this isn’t NAZI Germany, don’t you?

‘“The only thing,’ and I quote, ‘the only thing you [could have done to make] this worse, Mike, was to invite Dick Cheney and Sarah Huckabee Sanders,’ [the Chief said], and I went, Wow, are you kidding me?”

No…, he’s not kidding Ms. Stimson.

You know how I know he’s not kidding?

Because these fascist bigots have no sense of humor whatever.

bigots 3

bigots 10

“Both Democrats and Republicans were invited to the event. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s public safety liaison, Trump supporter Scott Baio, who attended Helus’ church, and Trump-supporting singer Joy Villa were all scheduled to attend.”

“The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department issued a statement, saying:

‘“The Blue Bowl event was represented as a charitable flag football tournament to raise funds for the family of Sergeant Ron Helus. An event that would honor Ron’s memory and provide support to his wife Karen and son Jordan. As the event began to materialize, we became concerned with the behavior of some of the organizers of the event. Although I believe the organizers had good intentions, the event was moving in a direction we no longer felt comfortable supporting.”

And when you say “we,” Chief, you really mean “you,” don’t you?

bigots 7

“Singer Villa called the chief’s response ‘disgusting.’”

‘“This is not OK. This is prejudice, hello?’ she [Villa] said. ‘You’re shutting down an event because of the way conservatives think, because I support the president? This is disgusting, I’m appalled, and in all my years being an out conservative, I’ve never seen something so despicable like this.’”

I’m sorry to say, Joy, this political bigotry is quickly becoming the new normal.

There is no middle ground anymore.

It’s truly “us” against “them” now.

And that’s fine…, just don’t pretend like it’s not.

WINNING!

Someone’s finally beginning to clean-up our oceans!  

So who’s finally taking the initiative to start cleaning up our oceans?

The United States?  I’ll let you in on a little secret here later.

Russia?

China?

England?

Japan?

Nope.

It’s a man from The Netherlands (also known as Holland).

The Netherlands?

cleanup 2

I can’t imagine that The Netherlands is responsible for even .000001 percent of the pollution in our oceans…, but yet they are the ones (the only ones right now) attempting to clean-up them up.

The Netherlands only has 17 million people in the entire country.  It’s known for its very liberal policies, although it is not a very diverse country, as over 85% of the population are Dutch/European.

AFP (French Press Agency), recently reported from Rotterdam, in The Netherlands, that, “A special ship designed to clean the oceans has harvested its first plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch since setting sail from San Francisco last month, its Dutch inventor said Wednesday.”

cleanup 1

Please refer to my prior blog, “What’s up with all of this garbage in the oceans?” from April 18, 2018, for more information relating to the “Great Pacific garbage patch.”

cleanup 3

“The project by The Ocean Cleanup, a Dutch non-profit group, involves a supply ship towing a floating boom that corrals marine plastic with the aim of cleaning half of the infamous patch within five years.”

I applaud the intentions and the effort here, but shouldn’t we attempt to attack the problem at its sources as well?

If we don’t confront those doing the polluting, and attempt to limit additional “new pollution,” it’s like buying new fly swatters, but leaving all of the doors and windows wide open to continually let more flies in.  We’ll never be able to stay ahead of the game…, or make any real difference.

Please refer to my earlier blog, “We’re all veterans of the liberal environmental ‘blame game.’ But what’s the real deal regarding pollution on our planet?” from September 11, 2019, for a better understanding of who the real polluters are.

Here’s the secret I was talking about earlier…, President Trump actually deserves some credit as well for taking action regarding the pollution of our oceans.

According to David Emery of Snopes.com, “[President] Trump signed, in October of 2018, bipartisan legislation aimed at reducing the amount of garbage (mainly plastic debris) littering the world’s oceans and threatening sea life.  Called the Save Our Seas Act of 2018 (S.3508), the bill was described by the activist group Ocean Conservancy as ‘a small but significant piece of legislation’ showing ‘leadership in the global fight to tackle the marine debris crisis.’”

Way to go, President Trump!

Raise your hand if you were aware of this.

Don’t worry…, mine’s not up either.

cleanup 5

“The act reauthorized the existing National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Marine Debris Program for another five years and called for more international cooperation in the effort to clean up the world’s oceans.”

Getting back to the efforts by The Netherlands, ‘“Today we announce that our cleaning system in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch has been catching plastic for the first time,’ Boyan Slat, the 25-year-old Dutch CEO and founder of The Ocean Cleanup, told a press conference in Rotterdam.”

‘“It’s the first time actually anyone harvests plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.  So we think that we can actually clean the oceans.’”

“Slat came up with the idea seven years ago, and the system has been undergoing tests for the past year.”

“The ship finally sailed from San Francisco on September 9 for trials on cleaning the patch, a floating trash pile twice the size of France that swirls in the ocean halfway between California and Hawaii.”

“It [the ship] was towing a 2,000-foot-long boom device designed by Slat dubbed System 001, aimed at containing floating ocean plastic so it can be scooped up and recycled.”

Another article from AFP states, “Ocean plastic waste probably comes from ships, report says.”

“The study offers fresh evidence that the vast garbage patches floating in the middle of oceans, which have sparked much consumer hand-wringing in recent years, are less the product of people dumping single-use plastics in waterways or on land, than they are the result of merchant marine vessels tossing their waste overboard by the ton.”

“Three-quarters of the garbage appeared to originate from Asia, mostly China.”

cleanup 7

“Everyone talks about saving the oceans by stopping using plastic bags, straws and single use packaging. That’s important, but when we head out on the ocean, that’s not necessarily what we find.”

There are thousands of cargo ships dumping garbage into our oceans on a daily basis.

There are 46 different cruise lines operating around the globe, which have 314 cruise ships.  It is estimated that 26 million people travel aboard these ships every year.

cleanup 6

That’s a lot of people…, and a lot of garbage!

Our oceans are not liquid dumpsters!

cleanup 4

All of these countries need to stop signing these BS climate accord agreements and simply keep their garbage to themselves.

That would be a good start.

Memes are the funny gift that just keeps on giving!

Just to recap:

“Meme” is pronounced [MEEM], and rhymes with “seem,” if you’re not familiar with the term.

A “meme” is a humorous image that is copied and enhanced (often with the addition of a message, joke, or saying) and spread rapidly by Internet users.

I’m sure you have seen them before you even knew there was a special name for them.  I know I did.

As I’m preparing my blogs every day, I come across memes that aren’t really pertinent to what I’m blogging about, but funny nonetheless, and I just collect them for a later date.

Every so often I like to clean these memes off of my computer and get them out to you.

Sooooo…, without further adieu…, let’s bring on the memes…, again!

Another case of CNN spreading its liberal propaganda: regarding the democrats’ letter to The Ukraine.

Daniel Dale’s article for CNN is titled, “Fact check: Trump falsely claims Democrats’ letter made threat to Ukraine.”

First of all, the whole premise of this article is wrought with bias and inaccuracies.

His article is not a “fact check,” it is an opinion piece, and a biased opinion piece at that.

Dale claims, “We fact checked Trump’s claims about Biden and Ukraine here.”

This statement is either a lie, or they are admitting they looked into Biden and Ukraine and they are just ignoring Biden’s illegal activity there.

Let me conduct my own “fact check” for a minute here.

Joe Biden is on video proudly admitting he threatened the Ukrainian government!

ON VIDEO!

Joe Biden lied about his communications with his son about his son’s “sweetheart” deal with a Ukrainian gas company.  Joe Biden said he “never” discussed this with his son, although his son has said they did.

demletter 5

A picture with Joe Biden, his son, and executives from the Ukrainian gas company has surfaced.

demletter 4

A PICTURE!

But even after all of this, CNN chooses to pursue President Trump for possibly doing what Joe Biden has already been proven to have done.

All you can do is shake your head.

The “biased, liberal propaganda, fake news media” is not even concerned how slanted and unfair it looks anymore.

These media outlets are just simply co-conspirators in perpetrating these endless hoaxes on the American people in an attempt to take down President Trump.

Dale immediately proclaims the letter from the democrat senators is, “a request, not a threat.”

Dale’s article does not even provide the letter for us to read on our own and make our own determination…, but I will.

demletter 1

 

Dale claims, “The 2018 letter from Sens. Patrick Leahy, Dick Durbin and Bob Menendez did not include any threat at all, about US assistance to Ukraine or anything else; it did not even mention US assistance.”

How else would Mr. Lutsenko “take” this letter, if not as a threat?

What are three US senators doing writing him an official letter anyway?

Has a US Attorney General ever received a letter from members of a foreign government suggesting what they should do?

Just sayin’.

Nowhere in The Constitution does it say that Senators are to communicate with foreign governments regarding investigations of any kind. In this case, the now debunked Mueller investigation.

These senators are most obviously operating outside of their constitutionally dictated areas of responsibility.

“The Senators’ letter was written in response to a New York Times report that the Ukrainian Prosecutor General was considering not cooperating with the Mueller Probe out of concern that President Trump would cut off aid as punishment.”

Ha! And we all know that New York Times articles are always accurate!

demletter 7

Please see my numerous blogs on The New York Times commenting on the contrary.

The democrats have a bad habit of justifying their actions based on articles in The New York Times…, that they have planted there themselves!

Like I said, “These media outlets are just simply co-conspirators in perpetrating these endless hoaxes on the American people in an attempt to take down President Trump.”

The senators wrote, “If these reports are true, we strongly encourage you to reverse course and halt any efforts to impede cooperation with this important investigation.”

What would you understand the words “we strongly encourage you” to mean?

Again…, how else would Mr. Lutsenko “take” this letter, if not as some sort of threat?

Perhaps we should contact Mr. Lutsenko and ask him how he took the letter?

The only reason we wouldn’t hear about Mr. Lutsenko’s feelings is if they failed to go along with the narrative being pushed by the democrats and the fake news media.

WINNING!

Who exactly does Nancy “dazed and confused” Pelosi pray to?

Last week, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said “I pray for the president all the time,” while talking to MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough.

My only question is, who might Mrs. Pelosi be praying to?

George Soros?

Barack Obama?

“The Squad?”

Satan?

It certainly can’t be God.

prayer 2

Or she might just be lying and she really hasn’t prayed at all.

I’m going with “she’s lying and hasn’t prayed at all,” or Satan.

According to Shira Tarlo of Salon.com, “House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., revealed that she frequently prays for President Donald Trump while discussing the allegations that he urged Ukraine to procure dirt one of his chief political rivals, former Vice President Joe Biden, with assistance from the Justice Department.”

prayer 1

‘“It’s really sad. We have to be very prayerful.  I pray for the president all the time,’ Pelosi said Friday morning in an exclusive interview with ‘Morning Joe.’ ‘I pray for the safety of his family — wish he would pray for the safety of other families and do something on guns — but I also pray that God will illuminate him to see right from wrong.’”

prayer 3

It’s hard to swallow all of these God references from a woman who would fight to keep the practice of abortion, and the killing of millions of babies annually, alive at all costs.

prayer 4

“Pelosi’s comments came a day after the public release of a complaint filed by a whistleblower in the intelligence community. The complaint discusses a July 25 call in which Trump repeatedly urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to ‘initiate or continue an investigation’ into Biden. The whistleblower named Trump’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, and his attorney general, William Barr, as his ‘personal envoys on these matters’ and alleged the White House engaged in a scheme to cover up Trump’s conduct.”

Let me go on record right now by saying this “whistle blower,” and I’m really coming to detest that term, is nothing more than a “swampy tool” who is being used by the liberal, anti-Trump, machine.

Think of a poor man’s “Peter Strzok” or “Lisa Page.”

The “complaint” filed by the “whistle blower,” is a well-crafted legal document, which was not just put together by someone filing a genuine complaint of concern.

The democrats knew exactly what was in the transcript released by President Trump before he even released it, thanks to their spy, the “whistle blower.”

This will all come out very soon.  Mark my words.

“The explosive revelations are at the center of House Democrats’ formal impeachment inquiry into the president, which was announced earlier this week by Pelosi.”

prayer 10

‘“This is no cause for any joy. This a very sad time for our country,’ Pelosi said Friday on MSNBC. ‘The impeachment of a president is as serious as our congressional responsibilities can be apart from declaring war. We have to be very prayerful, and we always have to put country before party.’”

Excuse me…, but I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

I really wish Nancy would keep “my country” out of her mouth.

It’s just disgusting and embarrassing.

prayer 6

I would have to agree with Nancy, however, when she says, “This is a very sad time for our country.” It is the democrats who are causing all of the sadness, however.

prayer 12

prayer 11

‘“This is about the national security of our country, and the president of the United States being disloyal to his oath of office, jeopardizing our national security and jeopardizing the integrity of our elections,’ the speaker added.”

Just like the Russian collusion hoax was, right Nancy?

Like I said earlier…, my nickname for her is Nancy “dazed and confused” Pelosi.  The prior paragraph demonstrates her level of confusion pretty well I believe.

prayer 9

prayer 8

‘“This is my wheelhouse, as I said to the president,’ Pelosi declared. ‘Twenty-five years of experience in intelligence . . . I was there when we wrote the whistleblower laws. I was there when we wrote the law establishing the office of the director of national intelligence. That’s only since 2004.’”

Yes…, we know Nancy…, you’ve been in Congress a looooong time.

Way too long.

I notice you failed to sign the Constitution when it was enacted.

I apologize…, actually, I believe you were elected a few years after that.

prayer 13

Mrs. Pelosi has now become a merely a sad caricature of herself.

I’ve heard it said that if you want to find out what Nancy is going to say today, look and see what Alexandria Ocasio Cortez tweeted last night.

prayer 7

And there you have it…, the clueless leading the confused.

Lord, help us all.

Hey…, if it’s good enough for Nancy…

prayer 14
