As I Was Saying

Progressives Punked for Social Justice

Presumed superior knowledge – a concept so engrained in progressives that Bill Maher summed it up in one irrefutable sentence saying “The Constitution needs a page one re-write.”lady-scales-of-justice-peeking   His guests nodded along and studio audience, of course – crickets.

So stunning in its brevity, clarity and presumption of superior knowledge that you can fairly see Hollywood’s hottest punch-up artists Bruce Vilanch, Amy Schumer and Keenan Ivory Wayans blue-penciling the dusty concepts of Jefferson and Adams for a totally rockin’ vision of America.

IN THE WRITER’S ROOM

This thing is going to jump off the page like an ep of “Joanie Loves Chachi” – when it was really good.  Equal justice is just so “old, white slave-owner”.  Social justice is for reals, dog.  No justice, no peace, take it to the streets.  Like the French with their revolution.  Now those dudes got social justice right.  Boom!  Off with their heads, storm the Bastille.  Power to the people.

Dig it, justice needs to take into account white privilege, slavery, LGBTQ rights, micro-aggressions, women’s issues and forget gun ownership, y’feel me?   And what’s with this whole idea of co-equal branches of government fighting over each little law and regulation?  Duhhh… like Homer Simpson could figure this one out.

Who even gets why we are a nation of laws and not men?  Men (and women and LGBTQs) make the laws, right?  It’s not like God makes the laws from his book of Jewish fairy tales.  So the whole page one concept of being endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights is out.  The best minds of Hollywood and Washington D.C. know what time it is, so what could go wrong?  They make, like millions of dollars you know and are all over TMZ.

Justice ain’t blind anymore.  We got this.

 

 

 

Black Lies Matter

gun barrelThe Black Lives Matter movement along with other stakeholders in modern American racist mythology believe that police departments are systematically targeting young, black men.

The truth is, over the past decade, only 4% of black homicide victims were killed by police officers.  The rate of violent black crime predicts that over 26% of black homicide victims would be killed in confrontations with police.  Compare this 4% for blacks to the 12% for whites and Hispanics killed by police and the first black lie, the fundamentally false premise of racist, killer cops becomes apparent.

The second black lie concerns the supporting evidence.  It requires a martyr, a black face to incite our sympathies and motivate the transfer of political power from police to the BLM movement. First, it was Trayvon Martin. Initial news reports attempted to shoe-horn a “white, Hispanic” racist vigilante into the story.  But, since no thinking person knew what a “white Hispanic” was, that description diluted the racial purity of the example. When it was revealed that Martin had a history of thug violence and the killing was in self-defense against Martin’s violent attack, the entire story was rejected and replaced.

When the “gentle giant” Michael Brown was shot in cold blood trying to surrender, BLM’s martyred saint was delivered and the movement’s rallying cry was born, “Hands up! Don’t shoot!”.  It was perfect in all aspects and launched riots, “die-ins”, enthusiastic marchers chanting “What do we want?  Dead Cops! When do we want ’em?  Now!”. These BLM supported campaigns inspired the murder and attempted murders of police officers, a campaign to ban grand jury proceedings when police use lethal force, the destruction of dozens of police officer careers, malicious prosecution as in the city of Baltimore, Department of Justice investigations and a presidential task force on policing.

BLM’s influence is now documented as “the Ferguson effect” and has succeeded in cowing police forces across the country and achieving international prominence, social elevation and political power for the BLM movement and race pimps like Barack Obama, Eric Holder and Al Sharpton.

The only, small footnote to the founding martyrdom and sainthood of Michael Brown is that, like all BLM narratives, it’s a complete lie.  Brown, like Martin, was a well-known violent thug who was in the middle of an attack when he was killed in self-defense. Of course, BLM ignores these facts and maintains its vigilance against the white demon – America.

The name itself – Black Lives Matter – is the greatest lie of all, implying that they are committed to rescuing black citizens from violence.  Where were they when six-year-old Martin Johnson was gunned down while playing in a St. Louis city park, just a few miles from their protest demanding the resignation of the entire Ferguson Police Department?

Where were they when ten black children under the age of ten were shot in Baltimore last year?

Where were they when three black children under five were killed in Cleveland – in one month?

Where were they in August this year when a nine-year-old black girl in their own founding city of Ferguson was shot and killed through the wall of her home while doing homework on her mother’s bed?  Where were the race pimps?

What is their answer to the elderly cancer survivor in the Mount Hope section of the Bronx who is afraid to enter her own building lobby to collect her mail and who pleads, “Please, Jesus!  Send more police!”

Where are they for the endangered black lives in Baltimore whose homicide rate last year was the highest in its history?  For the black lives in Milwaukee whose homicide rates went up 72% last year, in Cleveland up 90%, Nashville up 83%, Washington D.C up 54% and the free-fire zone of Chicago where 80% more black lives are being snuffed out this year than last?

Where are they?  And why don’t these black lives matter?

Legendary Director Stanley Kubrick at the Copa

Before Stanley Kubrick was a film director (Lolita, Dr. Strangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange and The Shining) he was a teenager in New York.

Stanley.Kubrick.news.vendorIn 1945, at the tender age of 16, Kubrick sold Look magazine a photograph of a broken-hearted newsvendor reacting to the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.

He was paid $25 for the photo and a couple months later, was hired as the youngest staff photographer in the history of Look magazine.

While at the magazine, he photographed the citizens of New York City including the Copacabana showgirls, shoeshine boys, boxers and freaks, its presidential visits and the confident young women strolling down the street.

 

Here are a few of his shots backstage at the Copa for Look.

Stanley had a real eye for the ladies as evidenced by the shot above.  More photos by Stanley Kubrick and other chroniclers of Broadway and Hollywood life are upcoming as we share the story of Mr. Copacabana.

 

Instant Climate Change Stress Relief

Whether you know it or not, whether you feel it or not, you are under constant stress from the threat of global annihilation by climate change.  If you manage to forget for a moment that we, the developed countries, have signed the death warrant for Planet Earth, the news media are keen that you remember, and that you remain afraid and so take action. Hopefully, at least to consume more panic-stricken media.

Particularly this past week with the Paris COP21 meeting spewing dire predictions of global meltdown like a coal-fired power plant, this can take a real toll on your mental and physical health.

For some it is slight and for others, it is significant and damaging.  I recall the terror my young classmates and I felt under the threat of global nuclear war with Russia.  I assume young children around the world are similarly stressed today by fears of global destruction by climate change.

I have the great privilege and honor of delivering the antidote to all this unnecessary stress. Here it is:

Global.Warming.Chart
Climate change facts show no significant warming in 18 years.

I call it the indisputable scientific observation of global temperature trends over the past 70 years – or the facts for short – about climate change previously known to panic enthusiasts as global warming.  Turns out, whoopsie!, it’s all wrong.

You can relax now, breathe deeply, let the stress go.  The earth is not warming significantly, the “scientific consensus”, ever wrong but never in doubt, was misguided by money and Euro-American leaders, pursuing power by promoting and managing crises, have been lying to you.

Now doesn’t that actually make more sense than armegeddon by plant food (CO2)?

Can you feel the knot of  fear in your chest unwinding?  Can you sense the dread and disgust that your children have had for us – the filthy, polluting and plundering older generation – beginning to lift?   Perhaps this will take a bit more time.  Younger people are slow to forgive threats made on their lives and future.  We elders are more used to it.  Remember the financial crisis, the insurance crisis and the income inequality crisis?

Well this is one crisis we can now put in the rearview mirror.
