Over the last week especially we have been seeing hints of Civil War. And over here is a guy with a plan for a civil war. And here is my response (amended for intelligibility): Death6 April 13th, 2016 at 11:24 am, I think bravado had the eGOP and TPTB ignoring civil war up ’til now.…

This is a bit of an e-mail I got: The facts are clear – “Big Mobile” and their liberal agenda does not share your values. That means with every mobile bill, you are helping to fund the deterioration of your core conservative values. If you could use the same devices and get the same quality…

CapitalistRoader reminded me of some things that might not be well known around here. I’m a big Trump fan (could ya tell?) and have been hanging out mostly at Trumpbot sites for a while. I’m not quite to that level of crazy. Not quite. The thinking at the ‘bot sites is that the eGOP doesn’t…

Over at The Conservative Tree House, which I rarely link to because I have been banned from commenting there, the marks are wising up. They have a post which reprises my thinking in How The Game Is Played, with some additions. So lets take a look at GOPe Playing Very Dangerous Game With Current Political…

“Constitutionalists” never mention the missing Drug Prohibition Amendment. Something the Republicans who voted against the 1914 Harrison Narcotics Act noticed.

This is a follow up to my post Lily Tang Williams for Colorado (About 6 1/2 minutes)

There is an interesting Libertarian running for the Senate in Colorado. Lily Tang Williams. Why Am I Running for the U.S. Senate? Because I hate to see the country I love becoming more like the country I left. There does seem to be a lot of that going around these days. And the country she…

As of 2015 the US has the third highest marginal corporate tax rate in the world. The top marginal corporate tax rate among the 173 countries surveyed was the United Arab Emirates,[2] which has a top rate of 55 percent (Table 1).[3] This is followed by the African nation Chad (40 percent). The United States,…

The state hasn’t even voted. Indiana hasn’t cast its ballots for president yet, but Donald Trump is already losing. Republican Party insiders in the state will select 27 delegates to the national convention on Saturday, and Trump is assured to be nearly shut out of support, according to interviews with a dozen party leaders and…

They must be pretty far along in the process if they are taking their masks off. That mistake centers around one prospective delegate, Larry Singer, who filed paperwork to run as a delegate in Colorado’s 3rd congressional district. But when the election was held on Friday, Singer’s name did not appear on the ballot. Somewhere…

(About a minute) NSFW – you know George, like Lenny Bruce, has language issues. I saw Lenny Bruce live at the Gate of Horn in Chicago About 53 years ago. How time flies when you are getting old. Better than the alternative. And BTW the Donald is saying the same thing. There are at least…

I have a commenter who says Donald Trump did poorly in Colorado because he didn’t show up. Implying that Trump got his just deserts for disrespecting Colorado. There is an alternate view: (About 19 1/2 minutes) Stefan Molyneux (who is doing the expositing) says what went on in Colorado unfairly gives banana republics a bad…

(About 4 minutes) If you have been a regular reader around here you probably already know about what is in the video. What is interesting is that Donald Trump inspired the girl making the comment to change her attitude. I sincerely hope her parents don’t find out and kill her. For the “honor” of it.

In an interview with USA Today Donald Trump said: Trump described himself as an Ayn Rand fan. He said of her novel The Fountainhead, “It relates to business (and) beauty (and) life and inner emotions. That book relates to … everything.” He identified with Howard Roark, the novel’s idealistic protagonist who designs skyscrapers and rages…

It will not be found in politics.

The full headline is: Former CO GOP Chair: Message We’re Sending Is “Your Vote Doesn’t Matter And Your Voice Doesn’t Count” You can read the story at the link.

CapitalistRoader and I were having a nice friendly discussion about “caucus vote stealing” in Colorado at Good Bye GOP. He asked how Trump supporters joining with Kasich supporters in Michigan to sweep the caucus votes was any different than what happened in Colorado. I had a reply: In Michigan were Cruz delegates sent home? Or…

Ted Cruz is going to have to prove he is a natural born citizen at a hearing in New Jersey today. Here is something that has been showing up around the ‘net in that regard. It sounds right. But who knows how the question will be decided? ==== To all delegates to the Republican primary…

I got this in an e-mail: Every year Congress takes $500 MILLION of our taxpayer dollars and hands them over to Planned Parenthood’s abortion mills where they have been caught on camera engaged in the trafficking of aborted baby body parts for profit. This atrocity must come to an end. We are continuing to put…

(about 30 seconds) Ted Cruz and others praise Trump. “A guy who gets things done.” – says Glenn Beck.
