And the Winner Is … May I Have the Ethics Report, Please?

November 23, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

I know Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen told you that the worse report filed at the Federal Election Commission was Ben Carson’s Oct. 15th financial report, but wait just a damn minute.

Ted Cruz beat that with one brain tied behind his back!

Take a look at this whopper.  A 35 page letter outlining mistakes / omissions / outright lies from Td Cruz’s latest filing.

There’s some interesting names in this report, but the best one for me is #1 on the first page of the attachment – The Andy Meyers Campaign.  I am fairly certain that Andy would give Ted his kidney and his firstborn just for a little attention.

Thanks, Alfredo!

 

Holy Crap: First Baptist Edition

November 23, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

The First Baptist Church of Dallas and its pastor Robert Jeffress know all about satan.  But mostly they know that satan inspired Islam.

No crap, y’all.

If you think for one minute that these preachers aren’t trying to start a holy war, consider this —

In his sermon, Jeffress said, “I believe it is time for us to lay aside political correctness and identify the belief system that is responsible for these horrific acts, and that is the evil, evil religion of radical Islam.”

And he was decisive in his call for a military response to such terrorism: “It is time to start bombing the you-know-what out of ISIS,” he said. “That is a biblical response.”

Jeffress believes that individual Christians should forgive but that government shouldn’t.  Christians should turn the other cheek but government shouldn’t.  Yeah, because now we’re not a Christian government founded on Christianity like we were last month.

And in totally unrelated news in nearby Irving, Texas:

About a dozen protesters — most carrying long guns, some masked and one with his mother — lined up outside an Irving mosque on Saturday. They had come from as far away as Hunt County to the green-domed complex. To “Stop the Islamization of America,” as the mother’s hand-drawn sign urged.

Jeb!

Poor Jeb! Bush.  Bless his heart, he thinks he’s running against Barack Obama in 2016.

Jeb! is sponsoring the “2016 American Priorities Survey.”  It is only a survey in the sense that he asks you to pick the Numero Uno reason you hate, hate, hate President Obama.

For example:

Does he remember that he has a brother? Who was once President?

But the best question is this one:

Holy crap, dude.  What are you smoking?

Take the whole survey right here.  And get totally creeped out.

Thanks to Rhea for the heads up.

Donald Skunk

November 22, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Okay, so Donald Trump held a rally and a black guy hollered, “Black lives matter.”

But apparently not, because the guy got mauled and kicked.

CNN has the video.

TrumpDoesn'tKnowThis happened after Trump ordered, “Get him the hell out of here, will you, please?”

Now seeing what happened with the man getting kicked and choked, normal people would say, “Oh hell no, that’s not what I meant.”

It will come as no shock to you that Donald Trump is not normal people.

In an interview on Sunday morning on “Fox and Friends,” Trump said, “Maybe [the man] should have been roughed up.”

Southall “was so obnoxious and so loud, he was screaming. I had 10,000 people in the room yesterday, 10,000 people, and this guy started screaming by himself and they — I don’t know, rough up, he should have been — maybe he should have been roughed up because it was absolutely disgusting what he was doing,” Trump said, according to a transcript of the interview.

He does know that if he’s elected President he can’t have people who disagree with him “roughed up,” right?

Or maybe he can.  I dunno.

Have another question.  Does Donald Trump’s candidacy eradicate Godwin’s Law?  Because, you know, like Hitler.

 

There Has To Be a Name For This

November 22, 2015 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Okay, so what do you do if you’re the meanest man in town?

This.

220px-Abbott_(cropped)Gov. Abbott announced last Monday that he … would stop efforts to allow Syrian refugees into his state in the wake of the deadly attacks in Paris. Part of the governor’s announcement included the sending of a letter from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission to local non-profits, demanding that they comply with the Governor’s request by Friday afternoon.

So let me see if I have this straight.   The man who wants smaller government wants government to dictate to local small humanitarian non-profits what they can and cannot do, even if what they want to do is the kind and loving thing to do and perfectly legal.

Yo, Abbott, you can kiss my big blue butt, sir. And you can kiss it on the steps of my local Helping Hands.

He is threatening to turn down federal funds for those non profits who don’t follow his … wait for it … “directive.”  So, do what Abbott says or you may lose your whole program.

So, is his next step to tell churches that there will be no rooms at the inn?

Thanks to Mazie for the heads up.

Update

Alfredo over at the Dairy Queen wanted you to know that Louie Gohmert got his monthly allowance from the Koch Brothers.

He’s going to use it to buy registration armbands for Muslims.

Check to see if your congressman is listed in this reckoning.
