HALF-FULL REPORT 08/03/12
What a fun week. So much fun it's hard to know where to begin? Should we start with Boris? That would be London's clown mayor, Boris Johnson, who blasted Mitt Romney for saying to the British press all the threatened union strikes (UK Border Police, security guards, London cabbies, etc.) during the Olympics were "disconcerting." That was last week (7/26). This week (8/01), Boris became an Olympic joke with his Zip Line Fail. Everyone in the UK is laughing at "The Dangling Mayor" now, not our next president... The fun will continue, but first this truly important announcement. Thanks to TTP's Miko de Great, the dates and venue for the TTP Victory Rendezvous have been set: Friday November 9--Sunday November 11, Key Bridge Marriott, Washington DC. We'll have details and costs soon, but make your plans to be with your fellow TTPers to celebrate the weekend after Zero and the Dems go down in flames on Nov. 6th. .. Back to joke politicians. Boris is a buffoon, always has been. Harry Reid has always been a twerp, but this week he became a symptom of Dem derangement. Harry's losing it, as in going wacko, suffering a nervous breakdown, something haywire in his brain circuitry...
THE CULTURAL REVOLUTION OF THE RIGHT
Catalysts are funny things - especially historical ones. For close to a half-century, America has been in steady decline due to the Left's Cultural Revolution of the 60s (although Ronald Reagan temporarily slowed it down, even he couldn't reverse it). Who would have ever guessed that its demise and America's revival would be sparked by a chicken sandwich? For decades, year after unrelenting year, drip by never-stopping drip, the Hate-America Marxists of the Scumbag Left infesting our schools, media, and cultural institutions perpetrated one outrage after another to damage America's founding values and wound America's soul. Then finally it happened, the over-the-top act of total hubris that precipitates a fall from power. By attacking with hysterical viciousness a decent moral man over his views that up until recently any sane person would have considered as obvious as the sky is blue, the Scumbag Left exposed itself as irretrievably fascist and inhuman. A chicken sandwich caused people to realize the Left hates what makes us human. Actually, what made us human, what enabled us to become human in the evolutionary first place.
ROMNEY IN POLAND
[This is the full text of Mitt Romney's speech in Warsaw yesterday (7/31). As inspirational as it was to the Polish people, it is also a call for Americans to be inspired by the Poles to have the courage to be free and to prosper. -JW] Thank you all very much for the warm welcome to this great city. It has been a privilege to meet with President Komorowski, Prime Minister Tusk, Foreign Minister Sikorski, and Former President Walesa. This is a nation with an extraordinary heritage that is crafting a remarkable future. At a time of widespread economic slowdown and stagnation, your economy last year outperformed all other nations in Europe. I began this trip in Britain and end it here in Poland: the two bookends of NATO, history's greatest military alliance that has kept the peace for over half a century. While at 10 Downing Street I thought back to the days of Winston Churchill, the man who first spoke of the Iron Curtain that had descended across Europe. What an honor to stand in Poland, among the men and women who helped lift that Iron Curtain.
WHICH EVIL WILL PREVAIL IN SYRIA?
Syrian dictator Bashar Assad fled Damascus last week after three senior officials were killed by a suicide bomber. He's is holed up in the coastal city of Latakia. Whether Mr. Assad is driven from power depends mostly on what he's willing to do to keep it. Syria will use weapons of mass destruction if attacked by foreigners, the foreign ministry has declared. Satellite photos indicate the regime has been removing chemical munitions from storage sites, reports the Israeli newspaper Haaretz. The regime would never use these weapons against its own people, claims a foreign ministry spokesman. But a former official told the BBC Mr. Assad wouldn't hesitate to use WMD against the rebels. Then there's this question: What happens to Syria's WMD if Mr. Assad is ousted?
HOW REAGAN’S ECONOMY SUCCEEDED AND OBAMA’S FAILED
The Obama administration and its apologists, including many in the media, keep telling us that the Great Recession was the worst since the Great Depression in the 1930s, and that is why the recovery has been so anemic. Is that true? In many ways the economic situation in the early 1980s was far darker when President Reagan took office, as the one that Mr. Obama faced when he did. The unemployment rate reached 10.8 percent in the 1982 recession, but only 10 percent in the 2009 recession. When Reagan reached the Oval Office the inflation rate was 12 percent. In contrast, when Mr. Obama assumed office, the inflation rate was zero percent. Reagan was faced with the problems of slaying the dragon of inflation and reviving economic growth. Mr. Obama only had to revive economic growth. Yet Reagan solved his problems while Obama has failed to solve his. Here's what happened, by the numbers.
HALF-FULL REPORT 07/27/12
This has been a very instructive week. We have less than 15 weeks to go to learn if America is going to live or die. With each of them, it will become progressively more obvious that Z2 - a Zero 2nd term - will mean the Death of America. That certainly is true of this week. On the other hand, each passing week now will alsoprovide evidence that the Left's stranglehold on our culture is coming to an end. We discussed this yesterday (7/26) in Democrat Megadeath, but there are other indications. We could call them "Blooms of Insanity." So let's talk about mayflies. They remind me of Democrats these days, because they "bloom" - explode in growth swarms, then die out. This phenomenon of efflorescence is common to many types of insects, and now it's happening to liberal intellectuals, journalists, activists, and politicians. That's why we should look at all these LibDem spasms of outrage, intolerance, and rabid fascism as "blooms of insanity." Another way of looking at the Dems is that the 20th Century is finally ending, the Fin de Siècle at last.
DEMOCRAT MEGADEATH
A giant fat German guy (six-foot-six, 300 pounds of blubber) with a decidedly sketchy background (pleading guilty to embezzlement is just one of many examples) and a goofy artificial name would seem an outlandish candidate for a catalyst of Democrat Megadeath - but you know what truth is stranger than. Kim Schmitz grew up in Kiel, Germany, where he dropped out of 9th grade and became a criminal child prodigy like the kid Leonardo DiCaprio played in Catch Me If You Can. After an endless series of scrapes with the law (including two convictions both with 2-year probations), in 2005 at age 31 he founded a company in Hong Kong called Megaupload, a "file-hosting service" with an elaborate array of websites for video sharing, music sharing, and online commerce. By this time, Schmitz had legally changed his name to Kim Dotcom, and moved to New Zealand. Because Megaupload made it super-easy for members to share anything video including full-length movies and anything audio including the latest rock hits and albums, it exploded in popularity with 50 million visitors a day, $100 million in annual revenue, and accounting for 4% of all internet traffic worldwide. For this, Hollywood declared him Enemy #1 and ordered Zero and Holder Justice to destroy him. Big mistake. He's now going after Zero's jugular and that of the Dem Party. As a result, both will bleed to death on November 6th.
ROMNEY AS REAGAN
[This is the full text of Mitt Romney's extraordinary speech last night (7/24) at the VFW Convention in Reno, Nevada. I entitled it "Romney As Reagan" as it is a speech Ronald Reagan could have given and would be proud of. -JW] Thank you. Commander Richard DeNoyer, I appreciate the introduction, and I'm proud to see a combat veteran from Massachusetts serving as National Commander of the VFW... I am an unapologetic believer in the greatness of this country. I am not ashamed of American power. I take pride that throughout history our power has brought justice where there was tyranny, peace where there was conflict, and hope where there was affliction and despair. I do not view America as just one more point on the strategic map, one more power to be balanced. I believe our country is the greatest force for good the world has ever known, and that our influence is needed as much now as ever. And I am guided by one overwhelming conviction and passion: This century must be an American Century.. I will not surrender America's leadership in the world. We must have confidence in our cause, clarity in our purpose, and resolve in our might. This is very simple: if you do not want America to be the strongest nation on earth, I am not your President. You have that President today.
THE MADNESS OF BIOFUELS
Are you upset about rapidly rising food costs and high gas prices? You can thank members of Congress and the administration for this situation. Much of the United States is in the midst of a major drought. That's not the fault of the political class, but those folks have made the consequences of the drought far worse for the entire world. Congress mandates the use of ethanol in motor fuel. Currently, about 40 percent of the U.S. corn crop is used in the production of ethanol. Corn prices rose as a result of the government creating an artificial, additional demand. It is simply madness that this continues, especially when fracking technology is giving us a glut of cheap, cheap energy.
THE VULTURE SMEAR MERCHANTS OF THE MEDIA
"Brian, you've been investigating the background of Jim Holmes here," George Stephanopoulos, anchor of ABC's Good Morning America program, said to reporter Brian Ross a few hours after the Aurora shotting. "You've found something that might be significant." "There is a Jim Holmes of Aurora, Colorado on the Colorado Tea Party site as well," Mr. Ross responded. "Talking about him joining the Tea Party last year." The James Holmes of Aurora who police arrested is a 25-year-old white man. The James Holmes of Aurora who is a Tea Party member is a 52-year-old Hispanic. To illustrate how vile this is, the internet humorist David Burge (Iowahawk) tweeted the arrest records of various felons named "Brian Ross." "Correction: in previous tweets I mistakenly identified ABC News' Brian Ross with a series of arrestees," Iowahawk concluded. "I apologize to the arrestees."
