— Gabriel Malor

Happy Monday.

Ilya Somin has an interesting piece on the times the Supreme Court unanimously shut down Obama Administration overreach this term.

Cumulus Media is threatening to drop Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity from their radio stations at the end of the year. Sounds like a negotiating tactic.

Jim Pethokoukis takes Obama's "middle out" policy to the woodshed.

And another word on PJMedia's supposed scoop from last week (you may have seen this in our sidebar, along with RNC's denial). On Friday, PJTatler, ran a poorly written, anonymously sourced post claiming that the RNC was working with Attorney General Holder to put Texas and other states back under VRA preclearance.

This allegation was, of course, preposterous on its face, and, if PJTatler's anonymous author had bothered to ask the RNC for comment (like any real journalist would have done), the post would have never run. A spokesperson for the RNC did respond to our inquiry with a categorical denial: no, the RNC is not working with AG Holder to put Texas and other states back under VRA preclearance.

Undeterred and unapologetic for their erroneous clickbait, PJMedia has run a follow-up post by J. Christian Adams. I would like to note a few things about that follow-up piece.

First, Adams admits that it is, in fact, "unclear" whether the claim of the original PJTatler piece is true. I guess Adams has no faith in PJTatler's anonymous source or PJTatler's anonymous author. If it is so unclear, even to PJMedia's own writers, that PJTatler piece should never have been run.

Second, Adams oddly trumpets the fact that "[a]fter the story hit last Friday, Republican donors and grassroots activists around the country went nuts." I guess he doesn't care at all whether the central allegation of the post was "unclear" or not, as he himself admits, as long as the claim riles up donors and activists. Aside from the post's falsity, it is this divisive character that most bothered me about PJTatler's hyperbolic post, as it seemed to have no purpose other than to set Republicans against Republicans. Quite simply, there are folks that get off (and make a lot of money) by claiming that the RNC is the enemy. I was surprised to find that PJMedia was one of them and surprised that Adams would so blithely champion "donor and grassroots fury" over a story that he himself admitted may not be true and which the RNC has categorically denied.

Third, Adams, having admitted the facts of the PJTatler piece were unclear, provides some unclear allegations of his own, reaching back seven years to allege RNC involvement in the 2006 VRA reauthorization. I don't know whether any of that is true or not -- though I note how vague Adams is with respect to how long this went on thereafter -- but I will note for those who have trouble keeping track of dates that Reince Priebus and most of the RNC's current staff weren't working there in 2006. In fact, there were two intervening chairmen between 2006 and 2011 when Priebus took over.

In short, the PJTatler piece was intended to be sensational. In that, PJTatler succeeded. I'm not sure what Adams' follow-up post was intended to be, but to the extent he cheers an attack on the RNC that he does not actually know to be true, it is despicable.

7 Workers at fast food joints in a bunch of urban Hells are planning on striking today (an illegal wild cat strike) for $15/hour wages.  I suspect they can be readily replaced.  And I am sure the MFM will fine some Jeantel look-alike who will call the managers a creepy-ass cracker.  What liberals can't seem to realize in this story is that burger slinging is an entry-level job for the young that is normally temporary as they work they way up, mostly while still in school.  It is not meant to be a job for a sole provider adult.

8 The Western hepatitis outbreak is now linked to imported pomegranate seeds.   How many times do people have to contract incredibly bad diseases from imported food stuffs and similar before idiots will learn that you need to stick to American products and local fruits and vegetables?  Also need to thoroughly wash said fruits and vegetables.  But I guess when a majority (maybe) vote for a criminal incompetent it is obvious that they will not learn.   The FDA is very good about harassing American farmers, but they do absolutely NOTHING for imported shit, other than issue a bunch of forms to be completed by importers.

9 Misunderstood yoots in a gang attack a man (of unidentified race meaning he was most likely white) and beat him severely in that wonderful city of love, Baltimore.  4 of them will be charged as adults; BFD.  The poor misunderstood adults who attacked the white tourist in broad daylight in downtown Baltimore where he was robbed and stripped naked were given 1 year probation.  Where was the hate crime add on?  Where was the corrupt AG Holder?  Where was the EEOC with their gang of government paid lawyers?  This is why all hate crime laws need to be abolished.  Also why the EEOC needs to be abolished. The laws should be revised to provide enhancements like the SC Lynching law (name has been changed but the law is the same).  More than 1 person attacks another it becomes a serious felony.  If he is injured like this case they can get 25 years.


My advice to any white people living in or around Baltimore; get the Hell out NOW.  If you shoot one of these misunderstood yoots you will go up the river for a long time and it just ain't worth it to live in a shithole controlled by the Democrat mob.

Morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes.  It looks like a rough day here at work, so I only have time for a couple of quick Frankenstein stories.

 

 

ItÂ’s hard to believe, in this depraved age of Saw and Hostel, that the 1931 Karloff film could ever have scared anyone.  But it did, in no small part due to KarloffÂ’s makeup and his own shambling, inarticulate portrayal of a resurrected corpse.  When the movie previewed in Santa Barabara, so press stories tell us, women screamed, men shivered and children cried.  One man phoned the theater and threatened to sue because his nerves were shattered.  Another called the manager every five minutes after seeing the film to say, “I canÂ’t sleep because of that picture, and you arenÂ’t going to, either!”

 

 

Now Karloff himself – like Vincent Price years later – was a kind, cultured man with a wide pool of knowledge and impeccable manners.  At the time of Frankenstein, he lived off of Coldwater Canyon and one of his neighbors was the cowboy actor Charles Starrett, known as “The Durango Kid.”*  One night, driving back from Columbia Studios, Starrett suddenly slammed on his brakes and nearly had a wreck as he passed KarloffÂ’s house -  there, on the lawn, was the actor, in full Monster regalia, holding a watering can.

 

 

“Boris, for God’s sake, what are you trying to do?” Starrett yelled, “Scare me to death?”

 

 

“Well, Charlie, we worked late tonight,” Karloff replied mildly, “and the rose garden needed watering.  I didnÂ’t have time to wait around.”

 

 

Hope you all have a wonderful day.

 

 

*Does the name sound familiar?  Maybe you remember it from a lyric in the 1973 Statler BrothersÂ’ song Whatever Happened to Randolph Scott? – “Whatever happened to Randolph Scott / Riding the trail alone? / Whatever happened to Gene and Tex / And Roy and Rex / The Durango Kid?”

107 Herr M @ 73 - Not quite correct.  You are confusing a center of gravity with a critical requirement.  Former military  planner here.

Centers of gravity (COGs) need critical requirements to perform critical functions to achieve a strategic endstate.  Best analogy: a train (COG) hauls freight (critical function) from point A to point B (endstate).  The tracks are a vulnerable critical requirement.  A 1964 WWII movie, "The Train," starring Burt Lancaster illustrates my point.

In military operations, your military forces are your COG.  In the US' case, public will or support is a vulnerable critical requirement.  The media has been used to attack that vulnerability.

I think I can dig up links to some excellent, accessible-to-the-layman articles on COG, if anybody is interested.

Every minimum wage hike, since the practice began, has been accompanied by a spike in unemployment. 

A few years ago, on a hunch, I overlaid historical UE charts with min-wage hike implementation history, and the correlation was undeniable.

Typically it took two years for the spike damage to dissipate.  The hardest hit worker demographic was of course young black males.

In a civilized society, I think it is, at least, a privilege we should afford to all.

But, here's the problem.  Parents used to be held responsible for their kids..  Now, since everything is a "right" rather than a privilege, lazy fuck parents can ship their little shits off to what has essentially become 8 hours of day care each day.  If the kid doesn't perform, it's the school's fault - and the school's responsibility to pay even more for special classes for the little fucks.

We used to be able to take kids away from parents who neglected their kids.. no more!  Along with the entitlement of an education come entitlements to public services to make up for absentee parents who are off making more babies rather than taking care of the ones they have already.

Its not that they are out of touch with reality.  Hell, they are probably more in touch than the congress critter (cc).  The problem is that they are more concerned with their bottom line and don't give a shit about the average citizen.



Of course the cc doesn't give a shit about the peons either, other than how he can fool them into voting for him again.

Well, unless you're an otherwise responsible white person.  I know at least a few people that have been threatened with losing their kids by CPS.  Somehow it never seems to happen to the welfare queens.

138 98 As usual, don't take Gabe's word for it >>>>>>

Conservatives who've been associated with and been betrayed by the RNC over the last 20 years won't. The problem lies with the folks on the periphery, the ones who've kept supporting the RNC because they saw no alternative and think, maybe, just maybe, there's just an honest misunderstanding among party of people all working for the same goals.

Forget it. The RNC and GOP Establishment is no longer about limited government and individual liberty. The lust for power, the desire to be liked, and the War on Terror have turned them into just another cluster of people seeking money and position.

The present move to defund ObamaCare, opposed by the RNC and GOP Establishment, is the last gasp of freedom. Once it is in place, it really will be time to LIB.  Whether there is a GOP after that will be irrelevant.

Not just that, but teachers, etc. now feel entitled to step into the role of parent whether the parents agree or  not. They implement sex ed training without running the particulars by the parents, they give out condoms and in some cases, Plan B out to students without requiring parental permission, etc., they do crap like take field trips to mosques and recite prayers (again, without clearing this with parents first).

racist zip codes.  Investors Business Dalily framed it in an editoral: Now even ZIP codes are racist, and according to this race-obsessed administration you're racist for living in an area with little public housing.  And it plans to change that.

 

HUD secretary Shaun Donovan- the new rule refines what affirmatively further fair housing really means.  With the HUD budget alone, we are talking about billions of dollars.

Intergration into neighborhoods with access to good schools, jobs, and transit, among other things.

161 Boy - your piece on the Tatler and on Adams took the cake... Use logic much? No, I don't see it often in your articles.... Firstly - the RNC dragged Adams into it with their denial - a private denial - no press release - by stating he was on the loosing side. They apologized to him (because they attacked him unfairly) and being the nice guy he is, he graciously accepted it. Even though its one of those back door, under the table, we're only saying it to you things. Adams then went into what that winning/loosing was (although he was an administration observer, and may have held his own private opinion, the Administration had no position apparently). That fight was exactly what the Tatler implied - that the RNC was a proponent of forcing states to act against the interests of the states in having fair modern elections, and in the interest of demon rats, who desire neither. It also came out in comments that the RNC agreed not to fight voter fraud, and re-signed up to that recently. Have you wondered where they were over the last decade as dems took victories using fraud? Yeah, wonder no longer. As I stated in a comment there - until the RNC denounces in an official press release - not some under the table, to the "in" few, assurances that they had nothing to do with it, and in the press release repudiates their past efforts and any future efforts, I'll believe the Tatler on this one.

Why yes. Yes it does seem that "standing" now means "shut up".  Sort of like "racist" means don't you DARE question the one or  how  a person might be called "homophobe" because they don't agree with redefining marriage in order to please 2 per cent of the population or how you are a "misogynist" since you don't believe that women should be able to murder their babies.

163 Gabriel Malor is the one obfuscating here. The original story said RNC staff and consultants were using RNC money without the RNC committee's knowledge. For anybody to holler this is "preposterous" and same-day deniable, is itself preposterous. J. Christian Adams runs a story that the RNC counsel and staff and consultants pitched continuing federal oversight to "scores" of House Republicans including the Speaker; and this presentation influenced them to write similar legislation. Malor calls this "vague allegations" that he does not know are true or not. Obviously, there are scores of witnesses to this event. Either the chief counsel of the RNC pitched federal oversight in 2006 or he did not. If he did, it is not "preposterous" that some of them continue to do so. Malor then goes on to claim we can disbelieve Adams and Tatler because "but I will note for those who have trouble keeping track of dates that Reince Priebus and most of the RNC's current staff weren't working there in 2006." I will note for Malor and those who have trouble with English that "most" is not "all" and "most" may not exclude "some". If the RNC counsel's position in 2006 was for federal oversight, and sought help from RNC staff in 2006 in developing that decision, it is entirely possible - not at all "preposterous" - that some of those staff remain a mere 7 years later to continue the same project, or even, that people trained by those staffers are on the job to continue what was, 7 years ago, a sensible and proper RNC objective. Further, how does Gabriel Malor know the turnover at RNC? Either he's making up facts to soothe the turmoil he says he can't stand, or, he's an uncritical mouthpiece for the RNC, or, he's paid by the RNC. Malor says there's big money in claiming the RNC is the enemy. There's even bigger money getting fools to trust and donate to the RNC, and I call on Gabriel Malor to confirm or deny whether he has a piece of it.

But, you see, Malor's intellect is so much higher than everyone else's that he usually does not bother responding to the unwashed masses.

165 "Quite simply, there are folks that get off (and make a lot of money) by claiming that the RNC is the enemy."

The referenced story may not be true, but that is orthogonal to whether or not the RNC is the enemy. I remember hearing in _2005_ that the fix was in, and that McQuisling would be the nominee. Then we had that lipsticked pig whose name I thankfully cannot recall: "We know who it is that our nominee will be." Now the court party is setting up to deliver Chris "Not Half the RINO He Used to Be" Krispykreme. They ought to deliver him on a plate with an apple in his mouth.

Once is coincidence; twice is happenstance; three times is enemy action. Quod erat demonstrandum.

Posted by: CharlieBrown'sDildo at July 29, 2013 07:49 AM (gqgiP) This, along with every fucking other thing, marks a failure of our dogshit education system that this isn't explicitly understood by every high school graduate. Entry level jobs exist for low skilled or inexperienced individuals to inculcate good working habits and knowledge which should help them advance to other, more high paying jobs with increased responsibility. Posted by: Captain Hate at July 29, 2013 07:55 AM (m4SHR) Here's the problem: There used to be jobs which could be filled by the "graduates" of those entry level jobs Captain hate described. There are far fewer of those jobs now, even as the population increases. The prospect of amnesty bringing in tens of millions of third world peasants to compete for this ever-shrinking pool of jobs only means more and more early-career workers will find it harder to advance up the ladder. In addition, workers who have lost their job - for whatever reason - or second income earners will find it harder to pick up a bottom-rung job to make ends meet. But, hey, Rove will be OK, so we should all shut up and let him and his ilk work their magic.

169 I believe that Gabe is misreading Christian Adam's remarks. When Adam's says that it is "unclear" whether the RNC's long history of support for federal pre-clearance of state voting changes "ended after the PJ Tatler story was released on Friday, or when the Supreme Court ruled in June or sometime before," I read him as saying that AS FAR AS HIS OWN KNOWLEDGE GOES, this is unclear. In particular, he is NOT challenging the Tatler's assertion of complete confidence in the anonymous informant and he is NOT saying that, according to the informant, it is unclear. Hence he can ONLY be making a statement about what he himself knows. What Adams himself knows--this is the entire thrust of his contribution--is that there is every reason to believe that the Tatler report is accurate, given the RNC's past history of aggressively supporting federal oversight of state election law, including an RNC authored change in 2006 renewal of federal oversight that made it far easier for the feds to strike down state election laws that tried to enhance election integrity. The states now had to prove a negative, that their laws did not have ANY discriminatory effect. THIS is the history. RNC did this! Now Gabe is trying to sweep it under the rug (stop being mean to Republicans) on the false excuse that Adams judges the merits of the accusation to be unclear. Wrong. He does not himself know the facts of the particular accusation, but he gives extensive reason to think it is true. Come on Gabe, get your sH!t together.
