Trump Derangement Translator
Dilbert and Trump characters courtesy of Scott Adams
|
At a ceremony for
Olympic and Paralympic athletes Friday at the White House, President Trump said
“What happened with the Paralympics was so incredible and so inspiring to me. And
I watched — it’s a little tough to watch too much, but I watched as much as I
could. It was really fantastic, and I want to thank you.”
The Trump haters
decided the President’s comment “occupied a gray area of offensiveness.”
Chris Hayes, host of
MSNBC’s “All In With Chris”, tweeted:
Honestly, what the hell kind of thing is this to say? https://t.co/VDo9VuRWxt— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) April 27, 2018
Scott Adams, the
millionaire creator of the office-humor comic strip Dilbert who switched
his endorsement from Clinton to Trump in September 2016 noticed Hayes’
Trump Derangement Syndrome and decided to explore the “bubble” these Trump
haters cocoon themselves in.
Dilbert’s creator
congratulated Hayes for escaping his TDS prison following Hayes’ admission he’d
wrongly accused the President of mocking the teams whose achievements he was
celebrating.
So I've listened to this way more than I should've, and I *think* I've come to conclude he means it's tough to watch too much because he's so busy being president. https://t.co/ZtYl2aJSP9— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) April 28, 2018
UPDATE: Welcome readers of Pirate’s

Sen. Jon Tester’s Vicious Character Assassination By Innuendo
The man in charge of
the personal health of three presidents from both parties, a decorated combat
vet (deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and forward deployed with
the Surgical Shock Trauma Platoon in Taqaddum, Iraq) who received the Defense
Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit, four Navy/Marine Corps Commendation
medals, three Navy/Marine Corps Achievement medals and numerous unit and campaign
awards, never got the chance to answer his accusers or even learn their names
this week.
Playing a central role
in ending Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson’s chances of leading the Department of
Veterans Affairs was Sen. Jon Tester (D-MT) who relied on hearsay and innuendo
from 23 people alleging a lengthy history of professional misconduct to include
a “pattern” of distributing medication without a patient history and crashing a
government vehicle while intoxicated following a Secret Service going-away
party.
In addition, the Secret Service offered two paragraphs on "outstanding professional" Dr. Ronny Jackson and explained how he is crucial to their mission. pic.twitter.com/Knlfk4aVwA— Katie Pavlich (@KatiePavlich) April 27, 2018
Some Republicans who
sit on the Veterans' Affairs Committee said they got no warning Tester would
air the allegations so publicly.
Tester should have treated
serious allegations with discretion, but he’s out to feed The Resistance as he
runs for re-election.
RADM Jackson, who
routinely received glowing performance reviews from Presidents Bush and Obama,
continued to proclaim the portrait painted of him in recent days was false.
Tester had, heretofore,
managed to keep a low profile in Congress but the Chuck Schumer puppet and
former Chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (2015-2017) has
caught the attention of Americans for the way in which he toppled the Veterans
Affairs nominee. Dr. Jackson didn’t
deserve days of leaks and smears.
Former White House
Press Secretary for President George W. Bush, Ari Fleischer, tweeted:
If Senator John Tester was a Republican who made allegations against Jackson when he was Pres Obama’s physician, there would have been Hell to pay. The press would be all over Tester for launching false charges. There ought to be a feeding frenzy now. https://t.co/0RbUpqwgRz— Ari Fleischer (@AriFleischer) April 27, 2018
Chuck Schumer’s
Democrats have invoked cloture on 89 of President Trump’s nominees, a move
which triggers 30 hours of debate even on non-controversial candidates, their
goal of giving the country and this President only half a government.
The President is
justifiably outraged by the obstructionist shenanigans of the left. I hope the good people of Montana vote Sen.
Jon Tester out of office come November.
Trump accused Sen. Jon Tester of making "false accusations" about ex-VA secretary nominee Ronny Jackson. "He's an American hero and I think he's been treated very unfairly." pic.twitter.com/6ptIiNAVNN— BuzzFeed News (@BuzzFeedNews) April 27, 2018
UPDATE 1:10 PM 04/28/18:
Report
from The
Associated Press ─ Sen. Tester responded to President Trump’s calls for him
to resign by saying he has a duty to make sure veterans in his state get what
they’ve earned. “I’ll never stop
fighting for them.”

Rocket Man Cracks Missile Joke At Historic Korean Summit
According to the NY
Daily News, as Kim Jong Un crossed the Demilitarized Zone to meet with
South Korea’s President Moon Jae In, he sought to create a light-hearted
moment.
Kim joked with his counterpart, “I won’t interrupt your
early morning sleep anymore.”
I'm.... so.... Friendry. I'm friendry and grad to make friends. Now dat no one, thinks I'm crazy, about to raunch missires again. I worked rearry hard, for nucrear arms, but now I've agreed and pwedged to disarm. Suddenry I'm taken seriousryyyyyyyyy......— TheParanoidBluesMan (@TeleBluesMan) April 27, 2018
We Live In Interesting Times
Situated near the
Lincoln Memorial on the National Mall in our nation’s capital there stands a memorial
dedicated to Korean War Veterans commemorating the sacrifices of the 5.8
million Americans who served in the U.S. Armed Services during the 1950-1953
Korean War.
The United States led a
21-nation Allied Force to help South Korea repel an invasion by Soviet Russian
and Communist Chinese-backed troops. For three years the fighting on the Korean
Peninsula raged. By the time the Armistice was signed on July 27, 1953, 36,574
American military personnel gave their lives in the service of freedom; 103,284
others had been wounded in action; 8,177 were listed as missing in action and
7,747 U.S. military personnel are still unaccounted for. The fighting took its
toll on South Korean and Allied Forces as well.
The Trump Administration’s
enforcement of maximum sanctions pressure and the emphasis of an unequivocal military
threat in August of 2017 when the President declared, “North Korea best not
make any more threats to the United States.
They will be met with fire, fury and frankly, power the likes of which
this world has never seen before,” persuaded Kim to agree to end a seven-decades-long
war and pursue complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
The agreement follows a
rapid thaw of tensions on the peninsula after a flurry of North Korean missile
tests and a hydrogen bomb detonation last year. Kim plans to meet President Trump;
the first summit between a North Korean leader and a sitting American
president.
The stakes remain high,
with Kim on the cusp of developing a missile capable of delivering one of his
estimated 60 nuclear bombs to any city in the U.S. ─ a step Trump has
threatened war to stop.
According to a
published report from The
Straits Times, in a joint statement issued by North and South Korea at the
Peace House in Panmunjom on April 27, 2018 “The two leaders solemnly declared before the
80 million Korean people and the whole world that there will be no more war on
the Korean Peninsula and thus a new era of peace has begun.”
1) The two Koreas will reconnect the blood relations of the
people and bring forward the future of co-prosperity and unification led by
Koreans by facilitating comprehensive and groundbreaking advancement in
inter-Korean relations.
2) South and North Korea agreed to hold dialogue and
negotiations in various fields including at high level, and to take active
measures for the implementation of the agreements reached at the summit.
3) South and North Korea agreed to endeavor to swiftly
resolve the humanitarian issues that resulted from the division of the nation,
and to convene the Inter-Korean Red Cross Meeting to discuss and solve various
issues, including the reunion of separated families.
4) South and North Korea agreed to actively implement the
projects previously agreed in the 2007 October 4 Declaration, in order to
promote balanced economic growth and co-prosperity of the nation.
5) South and North Korea will make joint efforts to
alleviate the acute military tension and practically eliminate the danger of
war on the Korean Peninsula.
6) South and North Korea agreed to completely cease all
hostile acts against each other in every domain, including land, air and sea,
that are the source of military tension and conflict.
7) South and North Korea will actively cooperate to
establish a permanent and solid peace regime on the Korean Peninsula. Bringing
an end to the current unnatural state of armistice and establishing a robust
peace regime on the Korean Peninsula is a historical mission that must not be
delayed any further.
8) During this year that marks the 65th anniversary of the
Armistice, South and North Korea agreed to actively pursue trilateral meetings
involving the two Koreas and the United States, or quadrilateral meetings
involving the two Koreas, the United States and China, with a view to declaring
an end to the war and establishing a permanent and solid peace regime.
9) South and North Korea confirmed the common goal of realizing,
through complete denuclearization, a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula.
The conflict that divided
the Korean Peninsula is unquestionably the biggest piece of unfinished business
that carried over to this century.
Are Kim’s words about
the start of “a new history” and “an age of peace” just rhetoric meant to get
the United States to soften its maximum pressure sanctions in exchange for some
meaningless promises?
Peace is fragile. It’s
also the ultimate achievement for a leader. Those who attain it are heroes.

Jury Slips Conviction Into Cosby Verdict
Today a jury found “America’s
Dad”, Bill Cosby, guilty of three counts of drugging and sexually assaulting a
woman who was a Temple University employee whom he’d mentored at this home 14
years ago.
The
three counts — penetration with lack of consent, penetration while unconscious,
and penetration after administering an intoxicant — are felonies, each
punishable by up to 10 years in state prison, though the sentences could be
served concurrently.
Cosby’s cavalier “Zippity zop mix a quaalude with the pudding
pop” attitude finally caught up with him.
He stands convicted and his career is deservedly in shambles. He faces 30 years in prison but will likely
only serve two to five years due to his advanced age.
Immediately following
news of the verdict, Bounce TV announced it was immediately
pulling “The Cosby Show” from its network entirely. The network was founded by African American
activists Andrew Young and Martin Luther King III.
Here’s Bill Cosby taking about why people go to prison at the end of a Fat Albert episode in the 80s... pic.twitter.com/4jD5obkRsS— Jesse McLaren (@McJesse) April 26, 2018

Something Wonderful: The Lost Voice Guy
“You
can’t be beaten by something you laugh at.”
Britain's Got Talent is all about finding a
one-of-a-kind act and "The Lost Voice Guy" is the epitome of that pursuit.
As soon as he walked on
stage and the audience saw his T–shirt with a leaping wheelchair logo and the
slogan “I'm only in it for the parking”, comedian Lee Ridley had the judges and
the audience cracking up.
The 37-year-old was
diagnosed with cerebral palsy when he was six months old. Due to complications
resulting from his disability, Ridley has been unable to speak for over 30
years.
He uses an iPad
equipped with the text-to-speech app Proloquo2Go to synthesize his voice to
deliver his unique stand-up comedy routine.

Logic is not David Hogg's Long Suit
It's been just over 2 months. We have walked out of school and now, on 4/20, we walk out everywhere. No matter where you are - if it's home, school, or work - walk out. Gun violence can happen anywhere at anytime.— David Hogg (@davidhogg111) April 15, 2018
"Gun violence can happen anywhere at anytime." As Artie Johnson might have said, "Verrrrry interesting!" Wasn't his whole shtick, his and the Cuban-dictator-loving teeny boppers he hung out with, that "We don't feel safe in schools anymore!" ? "We're afraid to go back to class until this 'gun violence' threat is addressed!" And now, young Hogg is telling us that he is every bit as safe in class, on those rare occasions he actually attends, as he is in his bedroom playing video games. Badly.
More accurately, he is at no higher risk in class than he is everywhere else. Statistically (I know, David! Math is hard!) at lower risk than he would be anywhere else. School shootings are rare. Unlike the poor tormented lad David's friends bullied, most people, even hardened criminals, are averse to shooting children.
The anti-gunners are fond of quoting national statistic on 'gun violence', yet most of it takes place in large cities under Democrat leadership. Most of them with stringent gun control laws. Criminals do not faithfully obey the law. One of the things that makes even a 'routine' traffic stop so potentially dangerous, is that the criminal illegally carrying an illegal gun is more likely to ignore laws about current registration and functional taillights, too. The police officer who pulled you over for an outdated tag has no idea how many laws you've already broken or are prepared to break.
Since the illustrious Mr. Hogg has admitted that he is no less safe in school as he is "anywhere" else, I propose he should go back to class. Once he graduates, he should find a community college, where he will undoubtedly be placed in a 'bonehead' English course. This is not a cheap shot. Colleges have known for years that high schools are doing a micturating poor job of teaching English that will serve them in a college level educational environment. Mr. Hogg is no exception.
After a year or two of junior college, he may find himself better equipped to successfully apply to an institute of higher learning. Then, maybe he might take a course in logic.

Build The Wall, Build It Tall, Build it Strong and Build It Now.
How many times do we have to have the slaughter in our southern neighbor paraded before our eyes.? The problem with gun violence isn't guns, it's the murderous people that use them. It is a people problem, not a gun problem.
As an example look at the City of Tijuana just south of San Diego. In only three months Tijuana murders (over 530) have passed the annual number of murders in Baltimore (one of the most violent cities in America) and almost reached the annual level of Chicago. And Mexico has but a single location where you can purchase a firearm, a place in Mexico City known as the "Directorate of Arms and Munitions Sales" which is operated by the Mexican Army.
The clerks are soldiers.
Cartel violence means that the Mexican gene pool, for the most part, is cleansing itself. Unfortunately innocent bystanders, courageous politicians and law enforcement also get thrown into the stats. In consideration of these circumstances, a comprehensive southern border wall makes perfect sense. Not only would it reduce crime in the US, but it would put the brakes on drug and human trafficking through Mexico. A porous border guarantees that it is very profitable to transport drugs and sex slaves (including children) into the States. The money is good and the risk is low. Now throw an effective 30 foot barrier up. The entire game plan changes when it gets harder to break into a country.
Isn't that funny? Israel found out the same thing with Palestinian terrorists.
What will happen most likely is that the price of illegal narcotics will increase, perhaps dramatically. Recreational use will hopefully diminish until domestic supplies increase. With cocoa plants used to produce cocaine, that may be never.
The human trafficking will probably divert to US ports, much more so than now. And don't forget Canada which has grown lax in its immigration enforcement. Thousands of Chinese enter Canada every year and it is not that difficult to cross a 3,000 mile border that is almost entirely unprotected.
Smugglers/narcotics traffickers have used the St. Lawrence River in upstate NY for generations. All you have to do is throw a parcel full of narcotics (or booze back in the 1920's) off an international freighter to a waiting speedboat and off they go. The RCMP have established their own river patrols to combat this (pic below).
We cannot conduct surveillance on every mile of our coastal areas and borders. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection reports this:

The clerks are soldiers.
Tijuana sits on the U.S. border with California, approximately 17 miles south of San Diego. A brief look at both cities reveals that San Diego has a population of 1.4 million compared to Tijuana’s 1.8 million. In 2016 and 2017 respectfully, Tijuana finished with 910 and 1,734 homicides while San Diego registered 50 and 34 for each year in straight comparisons, local journalists found at the time.
The cartel violence in Tijuana has been attributed to a resurgence of remnants from the Cártel de Los Arellano Félix, which is now operating under the name of Cártel Tijuana Nueva Generación (CTNG) and aligns with El Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación. These two criminal groups are engaged in a turf dispute with the Sinaloa Cartel. In some areas, rival factions within the Sinaloa Cartel are fighting for control of the lucrative street-level markets and valuable routes leading into the United States.Last year Mexico reported 29,168 homicides, 80% of which are still open. Mexico has a murder rate three times that of the US (15 per 100,000 vs 5).

We cannot conduct surveillance on every mile of our coastal areas and borders. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection reports this:
The common image of an illegal immigrant sneaking into the U.S. involves a Latin American huddling for cover in the brush of an expansive desert. It’s hot, dry, and desolate. Perhaps they are attempting to swim across the Rio Grande as it meanders through the dusty climes of the southern U.S. or jump a fence in the middle of the night.
There is a different, much less publicized form of illegal immigrant—the kind coming from Canada. Many of these individuals are not Latin American—U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) have apprehended border jumpers from Albania, The Czech Republic, Israel, and India—and they often cross the many waterways of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and New York by boat, jet ski, or by swimming.

Have Dog Will Travel
As you grow older, just
staying alive can become a full-time job.
That means you need to take a vacation.
I ascribe to the axiom: Life’s short.
Eat dessert first, work less and vacation more!
Vacation heals a weary
mind and soul.
I’m headed to the beach
where I will be walking past rows of beach chairs and weaving between
sunbathers and Frisbee games and people flying kites on a sandy shore. The intoxicating smell of the salty air and
the mist of the sea will be my nirvana for the next couple of weeks. My only fear will be whether a seagull poops
on my head.
Sophie The Wonderdog
and I will be visiting once again with my bestest friend of 40-plus years. My itinerary includes little more than dining
on fresh seafood at my favorite over-the-ocean restaurant, binge-watching movies
and shopping. Sophie will enjoy being with
her little buddies Teddy and Tika.
Fear not! I have already queued up the regular Sunday
postings of “A Walk On The Wild Side” and the Monday postings of “Flowing Curves
Of Beauty”. Hopefully, co-bloggers Proof and Sig94 will fill in for me by
posting something of interest in my absence.

What A Punchable Face!
Today, during the 140th
White House Easter Egg Roll a reporter for The Daily Caller captured CNN’s
notorious attention whore Jim Acosta, showing his arrogant fourth point of
contact.
Jim Acosta just yelled at Trump while he was coloring with children at the WH Easter egg roll “What abou the DACA kids? Didn’t you kill DACA?”— Benny (@bennyjohnson) April 2, 2018
Trump responded saying the Dems “Really let them down.”
Then Trump kept coloring.
Press Corp groaned.

blithely tweeted back:

The press poodles on

shown to The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer.

The situations were completely
different. Obama was giving a speech on

time.

Manager for President Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign, had the perfect
solution to curb his boorish behavior:
