It was one of those weekends when there was too much to do and not enough time to do it in, so you get Rule 5 Sunday on a Monday instead. Since the NFL season kicked off yesterday amid much controversy over players failing to stand for the anthem and Gutless Paul Goodell ignoring it – while threatening to fine Dallas Cowboy players who chose to honor their slain police officers – I’m going to lead off this post with rookie Redskins cheerleader Azusa Hashizume.

EBL’s herd of heifers includes Vintage Labor Day Rule 5, A Slight Chill In The Air, Lauren Lyster, Jean Arthur, Anne Francis, Coal People, and The Basket Of Deplorables.

At Soylent Siberia, it’s your morning coffee creamer, a Monday Motivationer bookworm, Tuesday Titillation Golden Girl, Humpday Hawtness Hardwood, Falconsword Fursday In The Wild, Latent Lingerie With Lace & Lesbians, and a Bath Night Weekender.

Hillary and the Clinton News Network

Posted on | September 12, 2016 | Comments Off on Hillary and the Clinton News Network

The great thing about having the media as part of your campaign team is that they willingly lend credibility to your most implausible excuses:

Hillary Clinton said Monday night she’s “met a high standard of transparency” about her health and didn’t think the pneumonia was “going to be that big a deal.”
Clinton said she felt dizzy and lost her balance Sunday, but did not lose consciousness, and is now “feeling so much better.”
“I was supposed to rest five days — that’s what they told me on Friday — and I didn’t follow that very wise advice,” Clinton told CNN’s Anderson Cooper in a phone interview.
“So I just want to get this over and done with and get back on the trail as soon as possible,” she said. . . .
“Obviously I should have gotten some rest sooner — I probably would have been better off if I just pulled down my schedule on Friday, but like a lot of people, I thought that I could just keep going forward and power through it. And obviously that didn’t work out so well,” she said.

Let’s face it — as long as Hillary Clinton has a pulse, CNN will consider her a viable candidate and continue acting as her public-relations agency.

How Sick Is Hillary?

Posted on | September 12, 2016 | 1 Comment

The Democrat nominee’s health has become a legitimate issue in the presidential campaign. Her coughing fit at a Labor Day rally in Cleveland was at first dismissed as a random incident, but after she appeared to collapse Sunday after a 9-11 remembrance in New York, the Clinton campaign admitted the former Secretary of State has pneumonia, and she took a day off to recuperate. Now some Democrats are worried, and are wondering why the campaign hid Hillary’s problem so long:

As Hillary Clinton’s health moves from the fringes to the center of the 2016 presidential campaign, there’s a lot we still don’t know about her scare this weekend.
Here’s what we do know: Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday. During a Sept. 11 memorial event on Sunday at Ground Zero, she was unsteady and clearly needed help getting into a van after becoming “overheated and dehydrated.” And Clinton canceled a planned to trip to California for Monday while she rests at home. . . .
Clinton suffered a coughing attack last week during an appearance in Cleveland, which she dismissed as seasonal allergies. She received her pneumonia diagnosis on Friday, but the public was not told about it until hours after the incident at the memorial, raising questions about whether Clinton had any plans to ever inform the public. Between the diagnosis and the near-collapse, Clinton appeared at two fundraisers, ran a national security working session, and held a press conference.
Clinton’s campaign appears to have, at best, withheld information from the public and — at worst — misled them by aggressively batting down “conspiracy theories” that her coughing fit was anything more than allergies. Opponents are already seeing the incident as proof of their claims that Clinton has been hiding health issues. And others may now be more incredulous of the campaign’s statements on her health.

Greetings, My Fellow ‘Deplorables’!

Posted on | September 11, 2016 | 1 Comment

 

Speaking at an “LGBT for Hillary” gala in New York where the headliner was Barbra Streisand and the guests included millionaire entertainment industry moguls Barry Diller and Harvey Weinstein, Hillary Clinton made it clear she hates me, and she hates you, too:

The Democratic presidential nominee sparked an uproar late Friday when she described Trump’s supporters at a fundraiser.
“To just be grossly generalistic, you can put half of Trump supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables,” Clinton said. “Right? Racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic, you name it.”
She added, “And unfortunately, there are people like that and he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people, now have 11 million. He tweets and retweets offensive, hateful, mean-spirited rhetoric.”
Clinton then said some of these people were “irredeemable” and “not America.” . . .
“Isn’t it disgraceful that Hillary Clinton makes the worst mistake of the political season and instead of owning up to this grotesque attack on American voters, she tries to turn it around with a pathetic rehash of the words and insults used in her failing campaign?” Trump said in a statement. “For the first time in a long while, her true feelings came out, showing bigotry and hatred for millions of Americans.”
Trump’s running mate, Mike Pence, forcefully condemned Clinton “in the strongest possible terms” Saturday at the Values Voter Summit in Washington.
“The truth of the matter is that the men and women who support Donald Trump’s campaign are hard-working Americans, farmers, coal miners, teachers, veterans, members of our law enforcement community, members of every class of this country, who know that we can make America great again,” Pence said.
“Let me just say, from the bottom of my heart, Hillary, they are not a basket of anything,” Pence continued. “They are Americans and they deserve your respect.”

There are two kinds of people in America, according to Mrs. Clinton: Democrats and “deplorables,” and I sure as hell am not a Democrat.

To just be “grossly generalistic,” Democrats suck.

The Tragedy of Lesbian Divorce

Posted on | September 10, 2016 | 1 Comment

Excuse the cruel irony of the headline. You were correct in your suspicion that I quite literally laughed out loud at this story from England:

A mother-of-two who repeatedly posted naked pictures of her ex-wife on social media to “scorn her for finding a new partner” has been given a restraining order.
Alissia Wright, 32, posted a series of explicit images of her partner of six years on Instagram after they split as part of a revenge porn attack.
Wright captioned the naked images with offensive hashtags and deliberately tagged others in each post so they would see them. . . .
Wright was handed a three-year restraining order at Southampton Magistrates’ Court, Hants, and was given a 12-month community order.
Wright, of Southampton, admitted two counts of disclosing private sexual photos with intent to cause distress and was also fined £100 and ordered to attend a 30-day behaviour programme. . . .
The court heard Wright, a trained carer, shared the nude images after her split with her ex-wife as she found love with a new woman. . . .
Southampton Magistrates’ Court heard the couple, who married in January 2015, split up before the offences in March this year.

So, these two lesbians had been together about five years until they got married in 2015 and broke up barely a year later. But who, we are left to wonder, was the father of Ms. Wright’s two children? Were these babies the lesbian couple created through artificial insemination, or remainders from Ms. Wright’s heterosexual past? How does this affect the lesbian ex-wives in terms of visitation and child-support payments? So many questions, which nobody bothered to examine carefully before “marriage equality” was imposed on society by government fiat, must now be worked out in real life with real people. Someone should write a book: Heather Used to Have Two Mommies, But Now They Hate Each Other.

(Hat-tip: Kirby McCain on Twitter.)

UPDATE: Checking the files, I see the same headline was used for the news of Rosie O’Donnell’s divorce in February 2015, and that last month, I headlined an article, “Lesbian Divorce: Comedy or Tragedy?”

@instapundit: “I Was Never #NeverTrump”

Posted on | September 10, 2016 | 1 Comment

by Smitty

For that matter, I was never #NeverTrump. I’ve always said that I’d support him as the nominee, even though he wasn’t my first, or second, or third choice. Even Ed Driscoll here isn’t a #NeverTrump guy.

I was always Trump-willing in the specific case of a third-party run with a JEB nomination. We see how that turned out.

Lately, Tribble-head seems to be less of an Archie Bunker/Billy Mays/Tommy Boy chimera as the 2016 Crap Cabaret oozes down the hillside; underneath all that spin and whitewash you might detect my lack of enthusiasm for the chap.

Still haven’t figured out what to do with the ballot. I’ll be voting early, as I’ll be staffing the actual election. It’s also important to note that I’m in a district so blue that Her Majesty could stand before the polling station tossing puppies into a wood chipper and she’d still take VA-8 handily. Trump has been running ads here, so I guess someone thinks the state that elected Greasy Terry McAuliffe is in play.

As flaky as this whole experience has been, I think we have a major earthquake or three yet to play out. Given her status as a Gold Medal Liar, it’s unclear whether the whole hacking cough thing is legitimate frailty, or a convenient offramp, since the old rules about having a scandal (Benghazi, Chappaquaiddick, &c) age off seem a bit flaccid in the face of social media.

Irrespective of the results in two months, if the Republican insiders [are] ready to overhaul the GOP after the election or something one hopes that the conservative movement doesn’t sell out like a battered spouse who has somehow acquired a masochistic streak. Probably the hardest thing to stomach on social media has been the normally level-headed people asserting anyone has to vote a certain way, or they are secretly supporting The Candidate That Must Not Be Named. Haven’t we had enough intellectual dishonesty? Trump has, if nothing else, clarified the value of Tea Parties trying to reform the GOP internally. The post-Reagan GOP is an “irredeemable” Basket of Progress. (Redemption is not a corporate concept.)  But no worries: it’s more important that we get past the idea of party loyalty than anything else.

Keep the faith, people.
