Cory Booker: "The president is weak. And wrong. White supremacy is not a mental illness, and guns are a tool that white supremacists use to fulfill their hate."

Sorry Cory, but that ol' meme won't hunt.

Any claim of individual differences or superiority that is inferred from racial origins is demonstrably wrong, and clinging to the idea is mental illness.

Some popular examples:

(1) White men can't jump. Some can, some can't. It is an individual thing, not a racial thing.

(2) Men are better at math and science. Some women are brilliant mathematicians. some men are awful at math. It is an individual thing, not a racial thing.

(3) White people are inherently superior to black people. Nope. Some white people are great, some are just barely human. Some black people are great, some are not. It is an individual thing, not a racial thing.

You can't apply any of these racial generalization to any individual.

The whole point of the Constitution is that citizens are individuals, and must be treated equally.

Guns are a tool. Check the first three Amendments for why individuals should have them.

A Quick and Dirty Look at the Democrat Presidential Candidates


Warren has too much baggage. So as does Biden.  Tim Ryan no national recognition.  Gillibrand is not lefty enough for the radicals, and not appealing enough in general.

Beto is all adjectives and adverbs, but too few subject-object-verb combinations.   Hickenlooper is too weird, even in this field.

Inslee is what engineers call a "don't care term" - he doesn't affect anything.   Sanders can win the primaries, but he is too old to get elected.

Klobuchar is too mainstream to win the primaries.  Harris has some traction, but most of the country has no idea what she would do. I'm not sure she does either.

Castro has the "Reconquista" vote, but that is only a fraction of Hispanics, and he is certainly the candidate of the ever expanding bureaucracy voter.  Delaney, Delancy, who?

Gabbard has the Hindu vote, and the "keep it weird" vote that does not go to Beto, but that's about it.  Williamson has no support among the super delegate crowd, so money is a problem.

Cory Booker might carry New Jersey, but not much else.  Bullock, might be considered for VP, but nothing else. Swalwell is like Howdy Dowdy, he will say what he is told to, but we're not sure who pulls his strings

That leaves Mayor Pete.  I don't care if he is gay, and he seems well spoken and smart.  But his endorsement of the Green New Deal and reparations, both of which he should be smart enough to recognize as fool's errands, gives me pause. Either he is willing to lie, or he thinks the voters are stupid, or both. Either way I couldn't support him. 

We'll see who emerges from the early debates.  Maybe there is a Chuck Rhodes waiting in the wings who can whip up some support?

==================EMBARGOED UNTIL APRIL 1, 2019==================

The Institute for Inter-sectional Connector Social Justice 
                                                
It Is Long Past Time for Gender-less Connector Equality

It’s time for industry to throw off its patriarchal and oppressive history and eradicate the use of the sexist and misogynistic designations of connectors as “male” or “female” and replace them with politically correct and gender-neutral alternatives.

We need to dispel gender connector myths, such as the idea that female connectors are more resistant to damage or contamination and move beyond the current attempts at simple hermaphroditic connectors, because all connectors should be free to express their own gender identity and not be locked into simplistic and trans-phobic labels given them arbitrarily by others.

We urge standards bodies and manufactures to eliminate these hateful designations before December 31, 2019.  We further demand the elimination of all existing “legacy” connectors currently in use by December 31, 2021.  Otherwise we will lead a boycott and call on all consumers of wireless and electronic products to cease purchasing any and all products using these designations until these cruel and incorrect labels are eliminated. 

Join our movement!    #CONJUST     #NOSEXCON      #GreenNewDeal

Trump must prevent foreign meddling in future elections!

The Trump administration must ensure that no further Russian or new Chinese meddling in our elections can occur. I demand the same or an even higher level of vigilance that the Obama administration applied to the 2016 election.   FBI and Intelligence Community assets must be deployed in all candidate's organizations as soon as possible, and FISA warrants obtained to allow certain interception of all penetration attempts by foreign actors.  Only swift and comprehensive action can save our Republic from another attempt to steal an election!
