[Breitbart] Actress Rose McGowan addressed the crowd Friday in Detroit at the annual Women’s Convention, marking her first public speech since taking to Twitter earlier this month to accuse disgraced TWC mogul Harvey Weinstein of raping her, and blasted what she called Hollywood’s culture of fear and sexual misconduct.
"I have been silenced for 20 years. I have been slut-shamed. I have been harassed. I’ve been maligned. And you know what? I’m just like you," told the crowd. "Because what happened to me behind the scenes happens to all of us in this society, and that cannot stand and it will not stand."
"The paradigm must be subverted. It is time. We’ve been waiting a very long time for this to happen but we don’t have to wait anymore," she said before encouraging sexual misconduct victims to speak out and name their attacker.
"I came to be a voice for all of us who have been told that we are nothing. For all us who have been looked down on. For all of us who have been grabbed by the motherfucking pussy," she said. "No more. Name it, shame it and call it out. Join me. It’s time to clean house."

..thus the slut walks. Who's playing what game on who? Watch the power of the matriarchy define and demand submission. Or as posted at Instyblog - “I like how we NOW need to be prudes because the media/entertainment/political class are such depraved jackasses incapable of self-control.”

I watched EXTRA's coverage of this event last night, as much as I could tolerate anyway. They had pictures of Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinham, Hillary Clinton and some other old bag drinking champagne while posing. Gag me with a spoon, that's when I left the room.

If attractive young women dress and act like sluts1) What do they expect to happen?
2) What should any attracted male do that is appropriate?
Very good questions indeed. Let's start the slide show. Discussion will follow. Hand me a beer.

This is looking more and more like sex for movie roles, followed by regrets many years later. Hookers have been known to name their clients, either out of spite or because a blackmail scheme failed. But even hookers don't generally call it rape - unlike faded* actresses, they seem to have a basic set of ethics re quid pro quo transactions.
* I don't see an actor losing prominence as some kind of professional and moral failure. Success in that field is a lot like winning first prize in the Lotto. It's just very rare, and not necessarily all that related to talent. What is a professional and moral failure is sleeping with a bigwig in the industry to get a role and then accusing him of rape.
[Wash Times] Hillary Clinton deserves being tried for treason and potentially executed, according to Sebastian Gorka, President Trump’s former deputy assistant.
Mr. Gorka made the comment during an interview Thursday evening with Fox News anchor Sean Hannity as the two discussed Mrs. Clinton’s role authorizing the sale of Canadian mining firm Uranium One to Russian state-owned nuclear company Rosatom while serving as the Obama administration’s secretary of state.
"The Russians infiltrated our national security to corner the uranium market and they succeeded, and they knew all the crimes that were committed," Mr. Hannity said during the broadcast.
"If this had happened in the 1950s, there would be people up on treason charges right now. The Rosenbergs, OK? This is equivalent to what the Rosenbergs did and those people got the chair. Think about it. Giving away nuclear capability to our enemies, that’s what we’re talking about," Mr. Gorka responded.
Married couple Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of espionage in 1951 for giving nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union and were executed by electric chair two years later.
[Wash Examiner] In a court of law when it is discovered that evidence has been contaminated or a witness is lying, that evidence is thrown out and a jury is instructed to ignore the witness testimony.
As new bombshell revelations prove the infamous "Trump dossier" was bought-and-paid-for by Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee, the document that launched the Russian collusion investigation against President Trump must accordingly be thrown out.
In light of the newest charge that the DNC and the Clinton campaign may have broken a dozen federal election laws with the document, special counsel Robert Mueller has no choice but to dismiss the Trump investigation.
To fully understand how the partisan hit piece fueled Mueller's Russian investigation, one must remember how it all began.
It was John Brennan, director of the Central Intelligence Agency under President Barack Obama, who accepted the now-debunked document and infused it into the bloodstream of the U.S. intelligence community. By acknowledging the document and logging it in his files, Brennan inadvertently gave the document a "Classified" rating, along with some hefty credence. The presumption among the intelligence community was that if the document was good enough for Brennan to believe, then it must have merit.
But Brennan has had a couple of missteps when it comes to intelligence in his career.
As CIA station chief in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 1996, Brennan’s CIA missed any signs of the bombing that was to come of the Khobar Towers which killed 19 servicemen.
In 2003, it was Brennan who advised President George W. Bush to establish an "Orange Terror Alert" during Christmas ‐ only to have that intelligence later debunked.
As for the Trump dossier? Once it was injected into the bloodstream, the salacious document spread like wildfire throughout the intelligence community during a highly-charged election year.
That would be fine if the FBI were in the gossip business. But they’re not.
They’re in charge of pursuing actual threats to national security, not refereeing phony political hit jobs against Republicans.
Now, although no one in the Democratic Party will take responsibility for it and Fusion GPS’s co-founders refuse to testify for fear of incriminating themselves, some legitimate questions remain.
[Townhall] Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez thanked two of his Senate colleagues for testifying at his corruption trial Thursday, saying they "showed extraordinary courage" in defending him.
Sens. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) argued Menendez, who’s facing bribery charges related to trading political influence for luxury vacations and rides in private jets, is honest and trustworthy.
Graham traveled to Newark, New Jersey for the trial on his own dime, his office said, adding that his testimony has nothing to do with the underlying charges, but only relates to his service with Menendez in the upper chamber.
"I'm here to vouch for Bob," Graham told reporters upon entering the courtroom.
The South Carolina Republican said that he’s known Menendez for a long time‐going back to their days in the House of Representatives. They also eat breakfast together on a regular basis in the Senate dining room, and have worked together on legislation such as comprehensive immigration reform.
"In very difficult circumstances, he always keeps his word," Graham said. "A handshake is all you need from Bob. He’s a very honest and trustworthy senator."
He also said political affiliations had nothing to do with him coming to testify on behalf of his colleague.
"I’m not here because I agree with him or disagree with him. I’m here because I know him," explained Graham.

Wow, no there's a reference I would accept at face value. What, they can't get Hillary to put in the good word? Or should Comey issue an exoneration?

The first is a writer who should know better, but somehow doesn't. The second comes from a lawyer, who not only knows better, but ignores everything surrounding the debate on guns.
I have been reading about how the National Rifle Association's Wayne LaPierre not only did not oppose the Hughes Amendment banning the sale of machine guns in 1986, but also actively sought to get the law passed. I haven't read into the issue enough to make a judgement, but it is hard to see how LaPierre can survive being in the NRA.
How this applies to today is news that proposed legislation banning bump stocks is considered dead, for now. You'll recall the NRA had initially called for the ATF to implement the ban, which was essentially a dare. It was the ATF which approved the bump fire stock for use on semiautomatics in the first place, so a proposed rule change banning them would be a big problem for the agency.
The social media wars continue, albeit in a more civil manner. The banning bastards have lost, but they will be back when they smell more blood, like zombies.

[PRESSTV] The United Nations should impose sanctions on the United States until it gets rid of its all nuclear weapons and closes its military bases around the world, an American political commentator says.
Standing inside the DMZ that separates the two Koreas, Mattis said there is no change in US policy towards North Korea which he accused of building a nuclear arsenal to "threaten others with catastrophe."
"We stand shoulder to shoulder with you and the Korean people in confronting the threats posed by the Kim Jong-un regime," Mattis said alongside his South Korean counterpart Song Young-moo.
"North Korea provocations continue to threaten regional and world peace, and despite the unanimous condemnation by the United Nations Security Council, they still proceed," he said. "As the US secretary of state has made clear, our goal is not war, but rather the complete verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean peninsula."

Why the heck are they upset about nuclear power in space?
Currently there are ZERO, NONE, NADA nuclear rockets or large reactors in space.
There are a few very small thermal nuke reactors in deep space. So small that they will not even power a decent floodlight. Russia is rumored to have a couple of nuke powered sats but if they do they are only a few watts more than the thermal nukes.
So why are they upset about Nuke Power in Space?
It would be smart to have some nuke power in deep space - Mars and further out could use real reactors for missions and sites. It would be nice to see Project Nerva type engines used for journeys to the further planets and the Ort Cloud as they could make mission transit times more reasonable.

If it isn't a Security Council resolution, it's not enforceable. And if it were a Security Council resolution, the US would veto it. Probably, if they were smart, would the Russians, British, Chinese and French, so that nobody would get the idea to sanction them.

Really? Perhaps we should impose sanctions on the UN? They pay us $10 trillion a year as a group or anyone failing to meet their payments gets removed from the UN and the surface of the planet. Sounds like a fair deal to me.
[Canada Free Press] The U.S. House of Representatives kick-started President Trump’s ambitious $1.5 trillion tax cut plan yesterday as it approved the proposed budgetary blueprint for the federal fiscal year that began almost four weeks ago.
"Big news ‐ Budget just passed," the president tweeted at 11:05 Thursday morning.
Trump administration is eager to shift the economy into high gear. Now Republicans can get to work on personal and corporate tax cuts without worrying about Democrat obstructionism. Their goal is to get a bill to the president’s desk next month, giving Trump and congressional Republicans their first major legislative win this year after their humiliating failure to repeal Obamacare.
The Trump administration is eager to shift the economy into high gear and isn’t shy about blaming the Obama administration for the nation’s current economic woes.
[American Thinker] There are four distinct camps regarding Donald Trump.
Trumpsters ‐ Those who were with Trump from the outset. Who saw his shtick for what it was ‐ response to the jungle, which is Washington D.C., and felt that he, and he alone could tame the beast.
Reluctant Supporters ‐ Republicans who supported another candidate originally but came around to Trump before the general.
NeverTrump Republicans ‐ Jonah Goldberg, Bill Kristol, John Kasich, John McCain, Jeff Flake, et al. Republicans who seemingly would have preferred that Hillary won, than the lowbrow outsider, Donald Trump.
Unhinged Leftists ‐ The hard left is, well, hard left. Trump Derangement Syndrome is strong in this bunch; Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Elijah Cummings, Maxine Waters, Frederica Wilson, Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon, Chris Matthews, Rachel Maddow, Jimmy Kimmel, and on, and on, and on.
I was a reluctant Donald Trump supporter, and while there have been tactics employed that I might have handled differently, his win and subsequent advances has made me a believer. Bismarck said, "those who like laws or sausage should not watch either being made." While the process has been ugly, the results to date have been astounding. President Trump has made progress on the economy, jobs, the Supreme Court, border security, international affairs, and in defeating ISIS and radical Islamic terrorism.
It was reasonable that some in Congress and the media might have hedged their bets, with the Trump/Russia collusion narrative blaring on the television 24/7. Who would want to stench of these allegations stinking up their own personal and political fortunes through association? But now, the Trump/Russia collusion narrative blowing up in the Left’s face.

[OpsLens] Whether you are an FBI enthusiast or not, something about the Hillary Clinton investigation conducted by former FBI director James Comey smells reminiscent of an open can of sardines sizzling under the sun. Two House of Representatives chairmen, Trey Gowdy (R ‐ SC) and Bob Goodlatte (R ‐ Virginia) want to conduct some cleanup, namely in the Justice aisle. Reps. Gowdy and Goodlatte are interested in the black eye of the FBI and the dubious role James Comey played regarding the Hillary Rodham Clinton email scandal.
Yes, the whole sordid former-Secretary of State saga looms and that can of worms continues to stink too.
A joint statement released on October 24, 2017 contained the following: "Decisions made by the Department of Justice [James Comey] in 2016 have led to a host of outstanding questions that must be answered," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy (R-SC).
Rep. Trey Gowdy specified the crux of the matter, postulating "the decision to charge or not charge [Clinton] was made before all the witnesses were interviewed," implying some preferential treatment was provided. Why? Fundamental rule-of-law principle dictates the obvious full-court press until completion/confirmation that no other stones were left unchecked.
Except it’s juvenile. Moreover, it demonstrates one big double standard. Or in this case, maybe, um, a pair. You see, it’s okay for Ellen DeGeneres to stare at Perry’s ample rack not only because DeGeneres a woman, but a lesbian to boot. Two oppressed groups in one left wing package! So there’s no limit on what she can get away with, right?
This is the same Ellen DeGeneres who announced on her TV show that she is also a member of the #MeToo crowd.

If you people want to actualize sexual assault to the extent you have and use it to leverage some mamby pamby marxist point, you must remember that this is not a game or things you play with at home.
These are people even if they do not know it. And the democrats will not ever get a pass you destructive woman.
We will treat everyone equally whereas I stop cursing you or you become the moth at the light that burns in the eternal flame of ignorance and hate for things your are ignorant and hateful of.
If you want to keep score, That is not your job.
But I tell you this: There is no way anyone can live up to your standards even if they are depraved
You have no Virtue
You held no real job
You are a court jester to Women at home Whom are pulling their weight and you have failed them as have your guest"

From Instyblog - “I like how we NOW need to be prudes because the media/entertainment/political class are such depraved jackasses incapable of self-control.”
[Breitbart] Houston Texans Owner Bob McNair raised eyebrows at an NFL meeting earlier this month, with an expression he made regarding anthem-protesting players, saying that we "can’t have the inmates running the prison." McNair has since apologized for the remark.
McNair reportedly made his initial comment during an October 17 NFL owners meeting held at league headquarters in New York, ESPN reported.
The NFL owner made his comment after fellow Texan Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, said that the anthem protest was killing TV ratings and hurting the NFL’s bottom line.
"See, Jones gets it ‐ 96 percent of Americans are for guys standing," McNair reportedly said. "We can’t have the inmates running the prison."
However, Executive Vice President of football Operations, Troy Vincent, bristled at the analogy. According to TMZ, "Vincent reportedly told McNair that he had been called all sorts of terrible slurs during his NFL career ‐ inlcuding the N-word ‐ but never felt like an "inmate."

This is a page from the Jackson/Sharpton playbook. Want us to give it up?Then give us money to pour into the inner cities of your faans. Social Justice for all at your expense.

It is not a prison and they are definitely not inmates.
This is an insane asylum run by the media and the democrats to make everyone think they are slaves and keep everyone at each others throats.
This is cultural marxism which the Soviet used on their enemies to cripple them.
It was never meant to be used as an ACTUAL POLITICAL SYSTEM like the democrat system uses on US and themselves, idiots.
This is psychological warfare you dummies. Please read the Marxist playbook to the end so you are at least more nuanced with your stupid before you go all stalin on US.
I really have no respect for anyone in your party right now, and lesser so as every day passes.
Please be ready to explain if you even reach Heaven.
Excuses of hating your fellow Man will not fly there.

The players get paid a handsome amount of money for playing. They are employees of a corporation. If they choose to protest on the field about social justice, tell them to take a hike--their services are not needed. Treat them as any other trouble-making employee.
#6
I never had any sympathy for Bob McNair until he said this. You have to wonder if the owners have thought about hiring a retired 3rd grade teacher and put them into personnel management.

We have reached a point where offense is taken for allegory....by people thin-skinned about facing anything uncomfortable and using the race card so often it is meaningless.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
