Happy 2016!

I had a great Wasted Week and am getting ready for 2016

Oh yeah,

I FINALLY finished Ares Unleashed!

More on that later!  Don't drink and drive and enjoy New Year's!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Proto-Nazis....Please Grow Up....

I have been watching the footage of alleged "protesters" at various universities, especially Yale, and I have reached one conclusion:

They are idiots.

Love it or leave it!

Yale, which is allegedly an Ivy League school, saw its students circulae a petition to repeal the First Amendment.  If you don't agree with them, you are insulted and shouted at and called "Nazi" or "racist." 

Look in a mirror, Yale students

One student, from a privledged family, who lives in a dorm nicer than most houses, shouted at a proffessor, using the "F bomb", made a complete idiot out of herself.  They attempt to intimidate and scare people instead of using reasoned arguments.  They are intolerant of anyone who disagrees with any single part of any of their group thoughts and immediately try to use wolfpack shouting strategies.

Fine, bring it on.

I went to the Citadel and went through more than they could ever dream of and fought--literally with my fists--real neo-Nazis.  If I ever go to one of those "safe spaces", I will shout stuff like "Long live democracy!" and "I love God!" or "All lives matter!" or something even more psychotic. 

If you don't like it, don't listen.  Start shouting and I will laugh in your face.  Put your hand on me...well, don't....not a good idea. Not to worry.  They won't.  They are cowards.

A friend of mine asked if this was a rerun of 1960s protests.  I said, "No, its not."  In the 60s, demented though they were, at least they had an idea they were genuinely against: Vietnam.  They may have been right.

The 2015 version is made up of spoiled morons who have never worked for anything, see imaginary slights, and are doomed to swept into the dustbin of history like Nazis and Communists.  Political Correctness will end up there too.

Along with these alleged "student protesters"

Protest rising tuition, PhDs working full-time but getting part-time pay, quantitative easing, any number of things.  Just find something real to protest if you want to effect real change.

 And grow up.

Please just be quiet and lead from behind....

Everytime he says something, it goes haywire.

Please just zip it!

Just before the horrifying attacks in Paris, he chided his critics not wanting potential terrorists posing as Syrian refugees coming into the country as being afraid of widows and orpahans.

Then Paris happened.

Then after tragedy in San Bernidino, he starts spouting off about "gun control."  It turn out that instead of "workplace violence", it was an Islamic terrorist attack.  Furthermore, after that Bundy Ranch standoff last year, it seems no one wants the US government to be the only ones with guns.

Please, Mr President,  just go someplace and be quiet.

Suddenly "leading from behind" sounds like a great idea.

Fly the Syrian skies....

Turkey shot down a Russian plane for a seventeen second violation of its airspace while claiming the Russian plane had been warned ten times......ten times in seventeen seconds?  Something sounds weird.

Meanwhile, a Russian plane strayed into Israeli airspace and the notoriously trigger-happy Israelis politely informed the Russians about the intrusion and everything was resolved peacefully.

That might explain why there will be Russian sanctions levied on Turkey and some Turkish ship or plane will meet with an "unfortunate" accident.

This underscores the need for a united campaign against ISIS.  If the US had any sort of meaningful strategy or leadership role, these incidents probably would not have happened.  If you want something done right, please don't give it to DC.....

In other news, the NSA electronic dragnet that has been ruled unconstitutional, not to mention illegal, is supposed to end today.  I hope the Supreme Court is on the ball and makes sure that the NSA does not hand the job off to their British counterparts at Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) to spy on Americans.

My advice to GCHQ is to (A) mind your own business and (B) worry about the Muslim terrorists wandering around free in your own country.

BTW, you are welcome for those World War things, courtesy not of the US federal government, but the American PEOPLE.

Prayers for France

Prayers for France...

Why not welcome Russia to ISIS hunt?

The whole Syrian thing confuses everyone.

ISIS has ripped off the back half of Syria and the northern half of Iraq.  The US is bombing ISIS to hold Iraq together, but at the same time wants to remove Assad from power in Syria.  If you are confused, take comfort that so is everyone else.

Why does the US want to remove Bashir Assad from Syria?  You can all ready see the anarchy that has broken loose with him there.  If Libya is any guide--and Iraq--if you remove the government, then everything turns into "Road Warrior Country"

Assad is not a nice guy by any stretch of the imagination, but at least we know who he is.  Who does the US want to succeed him?  Our record with Arab Spring is not that great.  Taking out Khadaffy lead to Libya's disintegration, removing Mubarak in Egypt lead to a Muslim Brotherhood takeover, followed by a coup by the Egyptian military.

If you thought Libya and Iraq were bad, Syria's five sided civil war would be completely off the rails.

Why not welcome Russia aboard the ISIS hunt?  That would help US-Russian relations and even US-Iranian ties too since they are mixed up in this, but at least they are shooting at the people we don't like.  Even IRAQ is helping the Iranians and Syrians.  If we help keep Assad in Damascus, he might even be grateful...possibly.

Russia, Iran and Iraq is not going to let him fall.  If Assad survives, he will remember who helped and who did not.  Even the Israelis--who have little love for Syria--pragmatically recognize this and have coordinated with the Russians to avoid any accidents.  They would rather have Assad in power in Damascus rather than lunatics from ISIS trying to storm the Golan Heights.

Look ahead for once, DC!
