— Gabriel Malor Happy Monday.
Donald Trump was on ABC's "This Week" yesterday, where he flirted with birtherism again, suggesting that maybe President Obama's birth certificate was fake and, oh, that Sen. Cruz is ineligible for the presidency because he was born in Canada. Trump was in Iowa over the weekend at the invitation of the Family Leadership Summit, along with Cruz and Rick Santorum. Trump gave the keynote.
The Obama Administration is ordering prosecutors to omit listing quantities of illegal substances in indictments for drug cases so as to avoid mandatory minimum sentencing laws.

Morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes. Hope you all had a great weekend. Thanks for the morning briefing, Gabe and Vic.
Turner Classic Movies has a wonderful 3-volume DVD set out called Forbidden Hollywood, a collection of pre-Code movies including Night Nurse, Three On A Match and one of my faves, Barbara StanwyckÂ’s gleefully immoral Baby Face. Once the Production Code (also known as the Hays Code) came in, writers and directors had to be more circumspect in what they showed, in order not to have their films chopped to pieces by various state censorship boards.
After the “sexual revolution” of the 1960s, where every bare ass and every “fuck” found a home in movies, many of the older directors and actors insisted that the Code made for better movies – suggestion being more satisfying than display. But while the Code was in use, their attitudes were a little different.
For example, in Bette Davis’ 1949 film Beyond the Forest, the script called for her to visit an abortion clinic to get rid of her unwanted baby. But the censors insisted that the clinic sign in the scene be replaced with a sign reading PSYCHIATRIST. Both Davis and director King Vidor were disgusted by the change. “I don’t think that fooled anybody,” said Vidor. “It was still obvious that she was trying to get rid of her baby.”
Then there was the experience of Rex Harrison and Lilli Palmer, performing in the film adaptation of their stage hit The Four Poster. Like Rob and Laura Petrie, the stars were forbidden to appear in a double bed together, and if one was in bed, the other had to have one foot on the floor. Harrison and Palmer put up with that, but the censors cut one exchange that had always gone over big with live audiences: after Palmer (on her wedding night) is in bed watching new husband Harrison take off his slippers, she says nervously, “I’ve never seen a man. . .uh, completely. . .” “Well,” Harrison replies calmly, “you haven’t missed much.”
The two stars protested to Motion Picture Code chief Eric Johnston. “There’s nothing immoral about that!” they cried. “You’re right,” Johnston agreed. “On moral grounds, we wouldn’t have touched it.”
“Then why on earth was it cut?” Harrison asked.
“We had to cut it on religious grounds,” answered the censor. “Because man is made in the Lord’s image, you understand?”
And thatÂ’s it for today. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

I watched the ABC segment with Trump and to be fair, he didn't bring up the birther thing.
Trump's point is that as citizens, we have a right to ask the questions when someone runs for office. His position is that "he doesn't know" if Obama or Cruz is a citizen. Let the truth come out.

1. Why are his children home-schooled instead of in a Catholic school?
2. Why did he skip mass several times during the primary to speak at Baptist churches?
3. Where did he get the money for that huge house he lives in?
4. How much time has he spent with Bella since the primaries ended?
If you are going to go around being a professional Catholic candidate, I am going to ask these questions.

But they have to propose the amendments at the convention. The legislature has to ratify. That IS an Art V convention. However, it depends on the Red States sending "Red" delegates which I believe they would. I think it would work because there are more Red States than Blue and each State only gets one vote.
The problem will come later when it takes 3/4 of the State to ratify any changes.

Trump would have done better to slam it in the journowhores' face comparing the full colonoscopy sans lube they gave Dubya over his TANG records as compared to the dog-eating crackhead's BC and college transcripts. If he's not going to kick the MFM in the balls, he should get the hell out now. And that goes double for prissy limpdicks like Santorum. I want candidates from here on out to go big or go home.

"Now, had Trump said that - essentially doing the job the "journalists" were supposed to do- I would have cut him some major slack."
You're right. He was too focused on telling the world how much money he has to think of getting a jab in for the party.

Which is why I say anybody showing up at these phony "town halls" should carry nooses, pitchforks, rails, tar and feathers. As Vic's link above shows, we're going to be dismissed as angry, simpleminded racists no matter what, so why not take a moment to remind these tax-fatted fucks that they can't hide forever?

I was really surprised at her attempt to invoke Credentialism on behalf of Radosh and Horowitz, who basically reverted to Alinsky smears against West.
The comments were well worth the read unlike the piece by the normally reasonable Feldman.
Rethinking my opinion of her and the other "recovered" Leftys mentioned above.
The stir West's book has caused seems more a case of flak over target area than any real point by point refutation of a shoddy book.
The book had been a 5 part preview last week in Breitbart.

Do I want to know where your handle arose, Poppins?
It actually started as Mary Poppins' Practically Perfect Clitoris; sort of a counterpoint to Laurie David's Cervix, Michelle Obama's Landing Strip and Charlie Brown's Dildo. I just changed it after a while so as not to offend the sensibilities of the lovely Moronesses (and, frankly, Ace has enough probs with some of the nics here).
I will, say, though, that "Todd Bridges - First To Go Bad, Last To Go Down" is one of the best nics I've ever seen here.

AND, why is Karen homeschooling those kids? She isn't a teacher, she was a nurse.

The idea behind an Article V convention is that amendments are immediately ratified by the States without them having to go through Congressional/Presidential approval. It's not rewriting the entire Constitution, but rather a means to amend the Constitution without going through the entity charged with abiding by it.
I have my own doubts on the idea - for instance, I don't think the problem is our Constitution but the people we send to Washington. If we have to idiot-proof the Constitution from our own elected people then we're too far gone for a raft of amendments to make much difference anyway.

we fail at several of them.
Art V the only outcome I want is total breakup.

I have two names which ace her assertions - David Greenglass and Karl Fuchs. Both worked on the Manhattan Engineering District. And both passed nuclear secrets to the Soviets, Greenglass through his relatives the Rosenbergs.

Being well into my 6th decade, I was not at all shocked by West's assertians or suggestions.
One of which I believe was that not only secrets were passed, but also processed uranium.
However, the book can stand or fall on it's own merits.
What blew my mind was the sickening cabal of credentialists mentioned above that just smeared West personally, Horrowitz even black hole "disappearing" an initial positive review on his own blog after receiving his marching orders.

The stoopid party needs to observe how the other side panders to their base with things like today's mandatory minimum story. See there is a difference between pandering to your base and shitting on your base. Danny can explain in terms our congress critters would understand:

A peaceful divorce will never happen. They need productive citizens to prop up all their social engineering schemes. There will also probably never be another civil war. Most people no longer have the stomach to fight for freedom and will settle for security and handouts. The most likely outcome is simply an ever declining standard of living for most Americans and increasing international irrelevance. The U.S. just goes gently into the good night.

To actually ship nuclear materials and equipment, after the USSR vetoed at Dunbar Oaks the joint US/UK proposal of turning all nuclear technology to UN control, it would seem too grave a risk at exposing their spy network.
Of course, since I have not read her reports except for excerpts, I could be barking up a tree. Though with the Verona stuff being out in the public for years this would have been broken sooner.

The take I had from the excerpts (have only read THEM so far), was that she raised questions based on documented revelations of infiltration of FDR's crew.
Some of Breitbart's headlines may have been interpreted as statements by West.
But again, what really got my attention was the reaction, tactics and people involved in the attempted take down, which arguably would be unnecessary if the book was pure fantasy.
She also draws parallels to the tactics used by the MB today.

The Two Ocean Navy Act passed in July of 1940. It authorized the construction of 18 aircraft carries, 10 battleships, 6 battle cruisers, 120 some odd destroyers, plus auxillary vessels, submarines, and some 15,000 aircraft. We were rearming but you can't just shit that stuff out, it takes time to build.

Most people home school to give their kids a chance at a better education than the public schools, and in many cases to also include moral and religious teaching. Catholic parents in our parish sometimes home school because they cannot afford the school fees.
The Santorums are apparently wealthy, since they live in that huge house in Fairfax. There is no shortage of Catholic schools in the area. Karen Santorum is not a teacher who would be thinking "I am trained to do this". SO I do not understand why they do not send their kids to Catholic schools.
This is a legitimate question. Are they really cash-strapped and that is why she does it? Does Santorum insist she home schools the children so as to build up cred with the home school voters?
This is not a criticism of home schoolers. It is the flat-out statement that there is something odd in the whole family dynamic.

Never mind the stats that say homeschooled kids perform academically, overall, much better than public school students. Actual outcomes don't matter when social engineering must be administered.

BuShips designed the Essex class before WWII for mass-production. But none would reach the fleet before 1943. Hence they cranked out CV-8 USS Hornet as a modified Yorktown class carrier to bridge the gap. USS Hornet, commissioned November 1941, was when the US Navy actively violated the tonnage limitations of the London and Washington treaties.

Let me start again:
1. I fully support home schooling. Anyone with an average IQ and discipline can do a good job at it.
2. The Santorums do not seem to me to be the types of Catholics who normally would home school.
3. I want to hear an explanation of WHY they home school. Do they think the Catholic schools insufficient? If so, why? Doo they do it to save money? If so, where did they get the money for that big house?

Many of the expensive private Catholic schools are very progressive and heavily into social justice (Merion Mercy Academy - Educating Young Women to Live Mercy and Seek Justice - bleh). As to the local parish schools & high schools, I guess it depends on the diocese and the neighborhood but I would never question any parents that would choose home-schooling over local Catholic schools.
