Confederate endorsements and killing sprees.

   From the dog bites man department, this pro-confederate flag group in South Carolina endorsed Donald trump for president.

"COLUMBIA, S.C. — A South Carolina group dedicated to “defense of the proudly Confederate South” rallied at the State House here on

Saturday, showcasing a mixture of Confederate flags and signs supporting Donald Trump as the Republican presidential primary unfolded across the state.

 

The South Carolina Conservative Action Council said the event was held in observance of the anniversary of the burning of Columbia after Union soldiers invaded the city in February 1865. Along with marking the burning of Columbia, the rally promoted the group’s recent endorsement of Trump’s presidential campaign. Trump eventually won the South Carolina primary handily, creating an even bigger problem for the Republican establishment.  

 

Several neo-Confederate and white supremacist groups have expressed support for Trump. His campaign did not respond to multiple requests for a comment from Yahoo News asking whether it accepts the SCCAC’s endorsement and why such groups are drawn to Trump."

 

Hey, it must have helped, because trump easily beat his two  one Cuban American and one Canadian opponent in the South Carolina primary Saturday night. (Maybe this is why Cruz was trying to paint trump as being anti-confederate.) In the words of my Philly homeboys, McFadden & Whitehead, there ain't no stoppin him now.  Jeb dropping out (Americans have seen enough Bushes for one lifetime) gives Rubio a glimmer of hope, but in my humble opinion it will not be enough. Yes, Marco will get some cash now, but money alone can't win you elections anymore.

 

Just ask Jeb.   

 

 Finally, did you hear the horrific story of that Uber driver who killed six people at random in Michigan this weekend? Scary stuff.  It makes you want to delete your Uber app and just start taking the good old yellow cabs again.  

 

And there are reports that he was picking up fares in the middle of his killing spree.

 

They are saying that the guy is an "average Joe" with no prior criminal record, and that they still don't  have a motive. 

 

Six innocent people minding their own business only to have their lives cut short by this monster.

The motive might be that he is just an evil dude who hates people.

Yes, America, that's right. The problem with #Kalamazoo shooter Jason Dalton was that it was too easy for him to become an @Uber driver. "

 

Joshua, we know that really wasn't the problem, and we know what it really was too easy for him to get his hands on. And guess what; it wasn't that contract with Uber.

 

But I am just going to let that one sit out there,  cause....you know.... *blue in the face*.

The president likes the menu.

A couple of months ago I was at a function. This honey on a Robinne Lee tip tapped me on the shoulder and told me that she recognized me and that she is a huge fan of my blog. I thanked her, shook her hand, and asked her to keep reading.

I appreciated the blog love, and, more importantly, the view. She was all that!

But here is the thing; I am a happily married man. I could appreciate her beauty without thinking about anything else.

This brings me to our boy, O. Some folks are up in arms because he declared that Kamala Harris is the "best looking attorney general" in these divided states of America.

Now, let's be honest, that's not like saying that she is the best looking cheerleader in the NBA. "In the land of the blind the one eyed man is King". He said it at a private fundraiser to a few of his wealthy friends. No harm no foul, but O needs to be careful. His opponent in the last election probably lost it because of his 47% comment to a few of his wealthy friends.

Anyway, hopefully he won't get the business from the First Lady. From what I can see I am sure that she, like the lovely Mrs. Field, understands this saying:  "Just because you are on a diet doesn't mean you can't look at the menu."

Finally, my man Triple-B over at Kos really has me thinking about heading back to Mandeville with his latest blog post.

"So, remember the nutcase from my previous post earlier today? Apparently he's getting tons of response from people all over the country about his eagerness to go on a killing spree because he doesn't like how our elections work. So I'm watching this guy and...well...just see for yourself:

Now, I don't condone anybody doing anything rash. I do not condone anybody committing any kind of felonies up to and including aggrivated assaults or murders. Unless its necessary.Right now, it is not necessary. I understand that my video was very volatile. You have no idea how many people that sent me emails and texts and call me like 'Right on! My shit's clean. My bag is packed. You tell me when and where.' You have no idea how quickly I accidentally assembled an army. I assure you, a quite formidable army. But now is not the time. It's not time yet.
But, it is time to get ready!

Okay folks. I think we've seen enough. Now, this person is now officially ready to be arrested and prosecuted and have his guns taken away for good.
No society should ever tolerate people going around talking about raising armies (accidentally?) and killing people. Really? I mean seriously? Are we really going to be a people that tolerates a full blown insurrectionist talking of civil war, raising armies and killing people? A person who has decided for himself when murder is and isn't necessary? He hasn't been elected to anything. He hasn't taken any oaths and responsibilities of public office. Yet, he deems himself sole arbiter of when murder is alright or when building a terror cell, even accidentally, is perfectly alright.

These are the sorts of individuals who are on the other side of this debate over gun control. No, they are not your grandpa who keeps a revolver in his desk in the study. Nor is it your outdoorsman uncle who likes to do a bit of fishing and hunting. It aint[sic] your grandma looking to scare off the foxes from the henhouse. These are full on survivalist apocolyptic[sic] nutcase psychopaths. With arsenals. Far from being the 'responsible gun owners,' they are exactly the people who ought not have them."

Oh lawd! As if I don't have enough to worry about with the North Koreans and these Aryan Brothers in Texas. Now I have to keep an eye out for some redneck treating his assault weapon like some phallic symbol while he is looking for a testosterone high because he is insecure in other areas.



 

"Thou shalt not kill"

This is a sensitive post for me, but I am thinking it, so fuck it, I am going to write it.

Over the weekend, three incidents that made national news pissed me off and disappointed me on so many levels that I really don't know where to begin.

But let me start with the animal in Memphis who killed his brother and five other people including some of his brother's children (he just returned home from prison). Like what the fuck is wrong with our people? Look, I live in Killadelphia, and killings and murders are nothing new to me. But when I see stories like this I really have to wonder what the hell is wrong with us. And before you give me the white people do it too comments and e-mails, save it; I really don't care what white people do. There are plenty of white folks investing a lot of time and energy in trying to cure whatever ills they have.

Then there is this Negro in Alabama who allegedly killed this 18 year old Auburn coed (he just returned from Iraq). This clown is being charged with kidnapping,robbery, and attempted rape as well. And didn't you just know they were going to find this girl's killer? She was a white college student in Alabama for crying out loud! Could the National Guard have been far behind? Don't laugh, the Governor offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the capture of the young lady's killer soon after the shooting. How many folks that were killed in the hood in cities like Birmingham or Mobile do you think the good Governor offered a reward for? I won't hold my breath waiting for the answer. But I seriously digress. And I shouldn't be making political points on the back of this poor victim. Still, there is a post in there somewhere and maybe one day I will revisit it.

The third incident happened in North Carolina where a 22 year old college student was found shot to death on a Chapel Hill street. Again, some dumb ass Negro is a "person of interest", and even if this clown didn't kill the woman, his dumb ass was caught on video using her ATM card. Again, this woman belonged to the most protected class in A-merry-ca; a white woman (yes Hillary, a white woman), and this ignoramus chose to fuck around and end up with her ATM card, and even worse, he might have killed her.

Three incidents all giving me reason to pause and shake my head at the state of this country. But I have been saying it all along: if we don't do something to clean up some of the problems facing certain segments of the population, some of the shit we see happening in the hood everyday is going to start carrying over into WSZ (white safety zones), and then the war on terror will take on a whole different meaning. What are all the scared A-merry-cans going to do then? Build a wall around every major urban area? Hmmmm, I am sure the thought has crossed their minds.

So my heart goes out to all the victims and their families from the incidents that I mentioned. I hope that justice will be served and that their killers will be forced to face the consequences of their actions. But I also hope that as a society at large we will never be forced to face the consequence of ours.

"There was blood everywhere"

Those tragic words came from the lips of a Virginia Tech student, after a campus massacre in the rolling mountains of Western Virginia took the lives of thirty two of his fellow students. Hey, all I know about Virginia Tech is that Michael Vick played some serious football there, and it's in a beautiful part of the country. But today I also learned this: That Virginia Tech was the scene of the largest single day killing spree in American History. In one day, some animal managed to do- what is for us here in Philly, a months worth of killings.

This was horrible, and it seems like every time we think that these unspeakable acts can't get any worse, they do. From the former Marine who took out sixteen people from a tower on the University of Texas. To the depraved animal who bound and executed five little Amish girls in Lancaster Pennsylvania, because of his sick delusions. Somehow it just seems that these types of tragedies keep happening over and over again, and unfortunately, we can't figure out what is in the American psyche that causes it.

And before I write one more word, let me say this right now: I feel for those victims and their loved ones, and I would never minimize what they are experiencing, or what they had to go through today.

Now here comes my rant: We as Americans like to think that we are above harboring pure evil in our hearts. We like to think of ourselves as morally superior to other people in the world, because, this is, after all, America. It's hard for us to fathom one of our own committing these horrific acts against a fellow American. Yet time and time again, it happens, and these acts are not only committed by adults, but by children as well.

So what is it that's driving those of us in our society to commit these acts, and why does it keep- happening? Isn't it funny how conservatives spend all their time trying to scare us into being afraid of the Muslim bogeymen and terrorist who would bring harm to us, yet our own children have shown that they are capable of acts that are just as heinous and despicable? Maybe we should focus more of our war on terror right here at home.

I know that in the neighborhoods of our inner cities people live with terrorist every day. Try telling a retired grandmother who just cashed her social security check, that the ignorant ass young buck waiting to jack her isn't more dangerous than Osama bin Laden. I see where the President and members of congress came out and spoke about this tragedy today, and they tried to offer comfort and words of encouragement to an uneasy nation. "Schools should be places of sanctuary and safety and learning." Yeah I hear you Mr. President, but it sure would be nice to hear you make a statement to all the poor people in inner cities all over our country. People who have to listen to gun shots night after night, and who see the blood of their children in the streets when they wake in the morning. It's nice that you have offered federal aid to the people of Virginia to help them cope with this tragedy, but what the f**k? There have been over one hundred and twelve murders in my hometown alone this year, and I guarantee you there ain't no federal aid on the way. Again, I feel for those who lost loves ones today, but you know what, I feel for all the people who have lost loved ones here in my city so far this year as well.

Now you will hear all the NRA apologist say; (they come out of their holes every time there is a mass killing now) "Guns don't kill people, people kill people". Yes that may be right, but I guarantee you that it wouldn't be so easy for "people to kill people" if they didn't have such easy access to guns. Or how about this one: "Well if one of those students were packing heat they would have been able to stop the gunman before he could have killed more people." Yeah right, like a mother f****r wants to be packing his Glock along with his organic chemistry book in his book bag every fu****g day.

But hey, such is life in this John Wayne culture of ours in America. We have to be free to keep purchasing our guns and killing each other at will. You never know when an unjust government might want to infringe on our Second Amendment rights. Or God forbid, a liberal might get out of line.
