PETA Wants People To Stop Hating On Animals By Not Saying "Bring Home The Bacon" and Other Mean Phrases

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals apparently is offended by phrases like "bring home the bacon", and "take the bull by the horns", so the radical social justice folk over at PETA want them replaced with animal-friendlier versions of their own.  They posted on the following on Twitter:

Bring home the bagels? Be the test tube? Bwahahaha. Good grief! I don't eat meat and I have no issues with those idiomatic expressions. Soon anything we say is going to offend someone.  Then what?

They then equated "speciesism"  with racism and homophobic language.

"Just as it became unacceptable to use racist, homophobic, or ableist language, phrases that trivialize cruelty to animals will vanish as more people begin to appreciate animals for who they are and start 'bringing home the bagels' instead of the bacon."

Um, big difference between animals and people. Though neither should be abused, animals aren't going to know you've maligned them.

Some pretty funny Tweets in response on CBS News, but this video from Utah Republican Senator Orrin Hatch beats all.

Conservative Street Artist Sabo Places Maxine Water's Head on "Halloween" Movie Billboard

Most of you know that Rep Maxine Waters, the Democratic Senator from loony California, has recklessly called on liberals to harass any official affiliated with President Trump's administration wherever they happen to be.

In her own malicious words at a recent rally:

"If you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd." "You push back on them and you tell them they're not welcome anymore, anywhere."

It's already happening. 

Then you have Hillary Clinton encouraging the left to be "uncivil." Eric Holder telling people "When they go low, we kick them!" Cue the laughter. As unhinged as the left has become, these are dangerous words that could eventually lead to someone getting killed.

So conservative street artist Sabo came up with the following:

There's a Halloween movie billboard in West Hollywood, on Pico Blvd, and apparently Sabo did a little redecorating, placing Maxine's head onto evil killer Michael Myers body adding the hashtags #UNCIVIL DEMOCRATS

I had a good ol' hearty laugh when I saw this.

Not so funny is that the comments from our leaders and former leaders are inciting people to do exactly what they are encouraging.

Since then, several notable Republicans have been confronted in public places, including Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, presidential senior adviser Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

Never liked slasher films, and have never seen any of the Halloween franchises, and don't plan on seeing this one. But well done Sabo!

The First Rapper Was a 1920s Soviet-Era Poet According To Russian Culture Minister

Al Gore invented the Internet, at least according to Al Gore. Now Vladimir Medinsky, Russia's culture minister, is laying claim to rap.  On October 16, he told a group of people at the Valdai Discussion Club that the first rapper was actually Vladimir Mayakovsky, a poet/actor during the 1920s and 1930s Bolshevik era.

He argued that whereas Russia did not invent ballet as an art form, it is now very much a Russian art. Same with rap.

"It's bothered me for some time now, I wanted to say, it infuriates me: this fascination of modern urban youth with rap, but when I try to dig into this business more closely, I'll chat with my son, listen to what he's listening to, and read, and I get the feeling that soon we'll be saying that rap is Russian art," Medinsky was quoted by Russian news agencies are saying. "Of course, it was born somewhere in America, but its flourishing occurred with us, of course."

Medinsky also said he told his son that Mayakovsky -- whose avant-garde poetry in the 1910s and 1920s made him a darling of the new Bolshevik leaders of the Soviet Union -- was in fact the first rapper.

"And now he's going around in class telling everyone that. And they're reading Mayakovsky and they all agree," he said.

Then again this is a man who has some other wacky ideas, including nefarious U.S. government ties to Netflix. You can read more about those on RFERL.

discussed the possibility that Netflix was a way for the US government plot to take over the world's tv sets.

And a short video of his oh-so-rapper-like poetry. Not.





Mayakovsky wound up committing suicide at the age of 36 possibly as a result of unrequited love.

One of his poems A Cloud In Trousers, from the prologue:

Your thoughts,
dreaming on a softened brain,
like an over-fed lackey on a greasy settee,
with my heart's bloody tatters I'll mock again;
impudent and caustic, I'll jeer to superfluity.

Of Grandfatherly gentleness I'm devoid,
there's not a single grey hair in my soul!
Thundering the world with the might of my voice,
I go by – handsome,
twenty-two-year-old.

Well, maybe this is a little rapperesque.

Dummies For Liberals- Joke of the day

For a little levity- though it really is nothing to laugh about- I present a different take on the "For Dummies" books.

"Dummies For Liberals"

In case you can't read what the meme says:

Learn to:

-believe your own bullshit
-gaslight and manipulate others
-find joy in destroying the families you hate
-hate the country with pride
-attack conservatives in public
-abuse the kids of public officials to win an election
-use emotional blackmail
-break laws instead of change them
-report someone who has hurt your feelings

I'll add one:

-destroy a man's life for political gain

I am so sick of them all.

Kavanaugh's "Meany-Face" Means He's Guilty- The Babylon Bee

A friend just turned me on to The Babylon Bee, a conservative version of the on-line satire site The Onion.  He had actually forwarded the article "Trump Supporter Executed Live On Stage At Grammy Awards"- which wouldn't seem that far fetched considering the way things are going these days. There is such palpable hatred toward Donald Trump and his supporters, no doubt the haters would be delighted if they were all executed.

I didn't think it was possible after 8 years under the uber-divisive reign of Barack Obama, but

we have become an even more polarized society since Donald Trump became the POTUS. I blame it on the relentless efforts of the media and everyone on the Left (in concert with some on the Right) to remove Trump from office since his first day as president. Actually it started when he became the Republican presidential nominee and hasn't stopped since. There are things about Trump that bother me, and some things he has done that I take issue with, but for the most part he has done some very good things for this country.

So, I was wondering  how The Babylon Bee would weigh in on the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation, which is just another thing that has severely divided this country. I will share my thoughts on that later, but for the time being The BB is spot on.

"Confirmed: Unpleasant Facial Expressions Now Admissible As Evidence of Guilt".  

WASHINGTON D.C.—The FBI has introduced an advanced new CSI technique for determining whether or not a person is guilty of a crime: pausing a video of the person while making an unpleasant face. “If a person makes a meany-guy-face even for one part of a second, we’ve nailed them,” said FBI director Marlon Quinn. “They are obviously guilty; otherwise, why would they make a meany-face?”

Had to laugh because as I was scrolling through my Facebook feed that's exactly what people were thinking. Hyper critical of his justifiable emotional response and anger.

Kim Jong-Un Cries During A Concert - Video joke of the day

Here's a little evening entertainment courtesy of North Korea. The DPRK's God/Leader Kim Jong-un gets all misty eyed with some fellow officials at an uber-emotional concert.

Looks like he's packed on a few pounds, while his people starve.

Appropriate representation of women in Islam- a religion that has never evolved.

News of the Middle-East- Joke of the day

Pretty spot on assessment of how the news is viewed out of the Middle-East.

Now we need one that places blame on every destructive world event on Israel and Zionism. It amazes me how people think.

Joke of the day: Wacky Idaho GOP Gubernatorial Debate

Idaho Republicans just had their gubernatorial primary debate with a wildly amusing, colorful cast of characters you'd be hard put to find at Central Casting.

There was incumbent Governor Butch Otter versus Senator Russ Fulcher, along with wacky "curmudgeon" Walt Bayes and "biker" Harley Brown.

Someone put together a supercut of the highlights of the almost 60 minutes worth of debate that you can watch here.  The Dailycaller says the best of it starts at the 20 minute mark and continues until the end, and it's true. The reactions of Otter and Fulcher are priceless.  The whole thing is surreal.

Brown concluded with:

“You have your choice, folks: A cowboy, a curmudgeon, a biker, or a normal guy,”

That will be remembered forever.

No-one is totally clear on who he was referring to as the normal guy or the cowboy.

If I didn't know this was real, I would have thought it was some skit on SNL.

Joke of The Day: Compilation of Al Sharpton's Mispronunciation Of English Words

Taliban marriage counseling.

Child Bride Magazine- Joke of the day

Actually not a joke at all, but you know what I mean.

Child marriage is a sickening practice that happens far too often in mostly Muslim countries, although some Mormon polygamists have a penchant for the young ones too.

SNL's - Obama Anti-Depressant Commercial

In case you don't watch "Saturday Night Live" (I don't) here's their Paxil- Second Term Strength Anti-depressant for Barack Obama commercial.

Video: Reagan Gives Obama and Others a Lecture On Socialism

This is a few years old, and part of a documentary film (I think) titled "I want Your Money."  It stars Ronald Reagan giving Barack Obama- and a bevy of other political celebs (both left and right) from the Clintons to Sarah Palin- a lecture on socialism.

NY Post: What Putin Really Meant With His NY Times Op-Ed

In a rather amusing response to Russian President Vladimir Putin's op-ed in the New York Times warning  the American people about engaging in Syria, the New York Post published  what Putin really meant to say, or as the NYP puts it, what Putin said before the Times' editors got their hands on it.

MOSCOW — Recent events surrounding Syria have prompted me to speak directly to the American people and your leaders. After the president’s speech Tuesday night, let me say what you all know to be true:

Barack, I own you. Or as we say in Russia, the wolf felt pity for the lamb, so he left the skin and bones.

Mr. President, we have much in common. People fear what we might do. We each have a media eating out of our hands. We both hate George W. Bush.

I also share with you the outrage at President Bashar al-Assad’s use of chemical weapons on women and children. And I have made Russia’s displeasure clear to him. Bashar, I said, if you have to murder women and children, conventional arms like the ones I used at Grozny or the rescue at Beslan are just as deadly. Lord knows I have supplied Syria with more than enough weaponry.

Now I have given you an out on Syria. And you know what? I’ve become the man of peace. Me, the KGB guy. I don’t know how many legions the pope has these days, but I’m pretty sure they’re on my side, too.

I tried to tell you at the G-8 in June we Russians are not the crude caricatures you Americans think. We value negotiations, and we appreciate the UN. Indeed, we share with this great international body for peace and human rights the view that American military action is always an act of aggression. That, and blame the Jews.

"Swan" Detained In Egypt For Spying Not A Swan Or Spy

It's Egypt's turn to roam into the realm of the ridiculous. A few days ago an Egyptian man dragged a "Swan" over to his local police station because he believed it to be a spy. The man lives 280 miles from the capital so I suppose one can excuse his ignorance. The authorities released the bird after they determined that the electronic thingamabob (actually a tracking device) attached to it was harmless. What's even more amusing is the fact that although identified as a swan the alleged spy was actually a stork. From France.

It's not the first time a bird has been accused of spying.  In the past, however, it has always been blamed on the "Zionist" Israelis.

Most recently Turkey detained- and then released- a Kestrel for allegedly spying for Israel, a vulture was caught in Sudan in 2012, and in 2011 Saudi Arabia also arrested a vulture for spying, although it was eventually pardoned and set free.

No Slutbag "Interns Wanted" by Anthony Weiner Campaign Posters

You'd think that Anthony Weiner would have dropped out by now after revelations of more of his 'Carlos Danger' sexting were exposed, and the subsequent drop in popularity. But no, he's still hoping he'll become the next NY city mayor.  I still have no clue why people were even thinking of voting for him to begin with, considering his previous conduct. He's a total pig, but that doesn't seem to matter to some. And he doesn't seem to care that he's the latest fodder for late night. 

Even the web site Funny or Die has jumped on the Weiner-wagon creating  fake "interns wanted" posters that were plastered around Soho.

Prerequisites:

No slutbags, no snitches, no cops and no cameras.

The poster pokes fun at Barbara Morgan, Weiner's communications director, who blasted former intern Olivia Nuzzi, who she called an "effing" slutbag.

Have some dignity and give up Weiner!

Turks Release Bird Detained For Spying For Israel

One for the bizarro file. A kestrel (yes, a bird)  was detained by Turkish authorities because they thought it might be spying for Israel. A few x-rays later it was set free. The birdie was not a Zionist spy after all. 

The kestrel aroused suspicion because of a metal ring on its foot carrying the words “24311 Tel Avivunia Israel,” prompting residents in the village of Altinayva to hand it over to the local governor.

The bird was put in an X-ray machine at a university hospital to check for microchips or bugging devices, according to the Milliyet newspaper, which carried a front-page image of the radiogram with the title “Israeli agent”. 

It's not the first time a bird has been 'arrested' on suspicion of being an Israeli Mossad spy. The Saudis in 2011 were convinced an Israeli vulture was spying on them as part of some nefarious Zionist plot. It was actually part of a scientific study of the migratory patterns of the birds. The same thing happened to a bird captured in Sudan the following year.  The Saudis "pardoned" the vulture and released it, I'm not sure what happened to the one in Sudan.
