Barr Barr Black Sheep's newest shtick - Religion!!!!!

A wonderful article by Jeffrey Toobin in the New Yorker Magazine online Oct. 17, 2019 with his comments about the most awful speech given by Barr Barr Black sheep (my alternative name for the AG)  at the University of Notre Dame last Friday, (October 11, 2019). Toobin wrote: "Barr took “religious liberty” as his subject, and he portrayed his fellow-believers as a beleaguered and oppressed minority. He was addressing, he said, “the force, fervor, and comprehensiveness of the assault on religion we are experiencing today. This is not decay; this is organized destruction.”

Barr Barr continued  ranting about our country's moral decay - (mostly due to leftist Democrats?)

Toobin pointed out all the errors in Barr's words and then added this: "As Justice Hugo Black put it in 1961, “Neither a State nor the Federal Government can constitutionally force a person to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion. Neither (State nor Fed) can constitutionally pass laws or impose requirements which aid all religions as against nonbelievers, and neither can aid those religions based on a belief in the existence of God as against those religions founded on different beliefs.” 

Toobin concluded: "Barr’s speech, under current circumstances, is its hymn to the pious life. He denounces “moral chaos” and “irresponsible personal conduct” as well as “licentiousness—the unbridled pursuit of personal appetites at the expense of the common good.” By contrast, “religion helps teach, train, and habituate people to want what is good.” Throughout this lecture, one can only wonder if William Barr has ever actually met Donald Trump."

Whew! (Maybe Barr Barr attends services at the Orange King's Pussy Church of God ? Or maybe Barr's daddy introduced him to one of the faculty members at his private school for teens in NYC - the brilliant mathematician  J. Epstein?)

Meet the Orange King's Prime Minister of Hate......


He’s Donald Trump’s PRIME MINISTER of HATE. The Orange King’s recently spewed garbage about how impeachment would cause a civil war really came from Pastor Robert Jeffress, of the  First Baptist Church of Dallas. The minister was the source of this and other evangelical quotes which are worse than scary.

It’s hard to forget this minister’s  famous quote about Jews all going to Hell. On the other hand, according to Jeffress' pronouncements, it seems like the nicest people are making reservations for Hell Resorts – so it shouldn’t be too bad.

Before becoming Trumps’ Prime Minister of hate Jeffress had this to say in a Sept. 2008 sermon:
“Not only do religions like Mormonism, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism — not only do they lead people away from the true God, they lead people to an eternity of separation from God in hell….Hell is going to be filled with good religious people who have rejected the truth of Christ.”

Moving forward to a 2010 interview with the Christian television Trinity Broadcast Network, Jeffress  wanted to make sure we heard him in 2008 and said: “Islam is wrong. It is a heresy from the pit of hell…….Mormonism is wrong. It is a heresy from the pit of hell.”
He added: “Judaism — you can’t be saved being a Jew. You know who said that, by the way? The three greatest Jews in the New Testament: Peter, Paul and Jesus Christ. They all said Judaism won’t do it. It’s faith in Jesus Christ.”

Oh yes – the Prime Minister didn’t forget the Catholics among us: In 2010 Jeffress said the Catholic Church was an instrument of Satan and a “counterfeit religion;” In 2011 he said Catholicism was a “cult-like, pagan religion” that “infected the early Church” and “corrupted” it by showing “the genius of Satan.”

So I guess Expedia and other agencies ought to start checking hotel availability  in Hell???

Make Amurrica great?


Our despotic Orange King is preaching to world leaders at the UN in NYC this week (9/23/2019): forget about globalism and embrace “patriotism” (read “Nationalism”).

Stefan Zweig died in 1942 but this quote about life’s “worst poison” from his memoir, The World of Yesterday is worth repeating:
“I have seen the great mass ideologies grow and spread before my eyes –Fascism in Italy, National Socialism in Germany, Bolshevism in Russia, and above all else that arch-plague nationalism which has poisoned the flower of our European culture.’’

Of course the "deplorables" don't like this kind of writing -"hey - we gotta make Amurrica great!!!"


Anyone else frightened these days?

♪♪♪ "Whistle While You Work" or "Whistle A Happy Tune"? Sorry - no music in the Orange Kingdom!

So there's this whistle blower telling us about dangerous hanky panky going on - coming from the Orange King's White Palace. Something about phone calls to foreign leaders making promises (on his behalf - not his kingdom).
Barr Barr Black sheep's stranglehold on U.S. Justice is working overtime to prevent anyone knowing the facts.
And the Orange King said:
"Virtually anytime I speak on the phone to a foreign leader, I understand that there may be many people listening from various U.S. agencies, not to mention those from the other country itself. No problem!," he tweeted.  

Your  Orange King continued: 

"Knowing all of this, is anybody dumb enough to believe that I would say something inappropriate with a foreign leader while on such a potentially 'heavily populated' call. I would only do what is right anyway, and only do good for the USA!" 

Dumb enough? He passed that test a long time ago.
Only do what is right? Good for the USA?
Oy!!! Let's all fly to Turnberry for a quick round of golf!!

So where's Dorian going next? Just check with the Orange King!

It's been a month since my last "vent" - the political garbage spewed by the Orange King has been so overwhelming I couldn't decide where to scream first. And where does one begin to complain about the King's silent Congressional courtiers  sitting on their hands as this country goes deeper and deeper into the choking swamp fumes?
Alas, the press is doing their share - reporting the King's lies and fairy tales - but  never describing him accurately: a disgusting, inhumane sick liar suffering from a number of mental illnesses.  Whatever happened to the 25th amendment?

To be fair - journalists/reporters are fearful of losing press credentials if they're entirely honest; although they get them back, it's a pain going through the process. The "press conference" is a thing of the past - no way to ask questions with follow-ups - when you're outside with a chopper motor providing background noise. So the King throws out his lies - no questions please - and they're reported without any context.

A few of the recent horrific Stephen Miller Goebbels generated actions are beyond belief: like the kids here for medical treatment - paying their way - serving as research material for US based scientists getting letters telling them get out of here in 30 days - no ifs, buts. etc. Digest that!!
Or how about the recent rule by the Dept of  HHS - "Protecting Statutory Conscience Rights in Health Care" which in addition to further throttling  abortion providers also states if there's government funding, physicians can't treat ectopic pregnancies, provide cancer care that might result in infertility and more.... In other words, Big Brother Orange Hair is in charge of medical care - not physicians. (He went to Trump University Medical School?).

And the parade of emoluments continues - the recent Irish spectacle of Half Pence staying at the Orange King's hotel for some Dublin meetings - necessitating long motor processions hours away with the lame excuse of visiting his grandmother's family home.....guess who's paying for all this? Most enjoyable: the small town of Doonbeg (where Half Pence supposedly has family) was all ready for him - a few policemen - but no town people showed up! How wonderful!!!

And the Orange King's funniest weirdo trick of the week: changing the course of Hurricane Dorian - sending it to Alabama with a sharpie. Besides being ridiculous -  it's illegal - subject to jail and fines.
Impeach or 25th amendment - either will do - just get rid of him.

Das Trumpf strikes again!


Monday, August 5, 2019
In response to weekend shootings, Donald Trump read to us from his teleprompter today. He gave his  speech writers extra time over the weekend  - so he could finish a few more rounds of golf at his N.J. golf course.
Interesting: No words about guns in his address. (except that established mentally ill persons shouldn’t get guns!)
He said the attacks were “evil” (wow ) and, referring to the shootings in my city, El Paso, the killer from east Texas was a “wicked man”  (wow again ) who killed “precious little children” (didn’t mention they were similar to the ones he puts in cages – Stephen Miller Goebbels missed this one!)

And guess who’s going to fix our terrible mess of mental illness - The Techies, stupid! They caused this starting with the “gruesome video games” of the 1990’s.
He expects techies to "detect mass shooters before they strike."

He called for more monitoring of social media and the internet, (oops, excuse me – what happened to the bill sitting on Moscow Mitch’s desk asking for more tech help in assuring safe elections – with no foreign country meddling?)

He’s looking for  "cultural change" (ho ho ho – does he even know what cultural means?)
He threw in the big words  "bipartisanship," need for  "great legislation.…
 "It is not up to mentally ill monsters, it is up to us." (So he’s not a mentally ill monster? Or is he not part of “us”?)
Wow – what a presidential speech – hats off to Propaganda minister Miller and assorted members of the money collecting Trumpf Unternehmen !!!

I'll have another piece of dark chocolate and a glass of red wine, thank you.

Some medical studies claim that resveratrol - the polyphenol found in red wine and dark chocolate - may help in elevating your mood (or lessen depression?).
Not sure about this data - but with what's going on in D.C. - it certainly can't hurt for me to indulge......

The Orange King continues to rant....On Sunday, July 28, 2019, the Baltimore Sun newspaper editorial staff had a few things to write about after the Orange King's comments on Cummings and his "rat infested Baltimore district".....:

"Finally, while we would not sink to name-calling in the Trumpian manner — or ruefully point out that he failed to spell the congressman’s name correctly (it’s Cummings, not Cumming) — we would tell the most dishonest man to ever occupy the Oval Office, the mocker of war heroes, the gleeful grabber of women’s private parts, the serial bankrupter of businesses, the useful idiot of Vladimir Putin and the guy who insisted there are “good people” among murderous neo-Nazis that he’s still not fooling most Americans into believing he’s even slightly competent in his current post. Or that he possesses a scintilla of integrity. Better to have some vermin living in your neighborhood than to be one."

Thank goodness for print media - wherever it's still alive!!

Interesting coincidence: guess who was cited as a Baltimore slumlord a few years ago. None other than Saudi lover Jared Kushner! His father in law was cited for racism in renting only to white tenants in his Queens NY apartments but Prince Jared has his own style - he just collects money for rotten housing...
