Men In Tunis Joining IS

    Tunisia reportedly has a high standard of living, but men are joining the Islamic State at two to three times the rate of other African nations that have a much lower standard of living, the WSJ reported today. Isn't this a paradox? Only if you believe the "root cause" of terrorism is only poverty. I was having coffee with a beautiful Ph.D. in English at MacDonald's one night when I objected to only that reason. Indeed, I stated the liberal heresy that the root cause was ideology. That earned me an intolerant and ignorant response of "What do you know about the Koran? I doubt if you've read any of it!" Then she put on her coat and walked out of MacDonald's. In that moment, she had lost a lot of her beauty which is good because I won't miss her so much.
    As I read the WSJ article, I learned that Tunisia's Arab Spring hadn't changed anything. One citizen commented that the cops still walked up to people and slapped them in the face, just as before. Money can't assuage getting slapped in the face by cops. So you have this situation in Tunisia: You are a young man full of testosterone, and you are getting slapped around by Tunisia's finest. Or you have this situatin: You are the same young man, but you are in the Islamic State being treated like a man, a heroic man to boot, and being given good food, a rifle, a knive, a weight room, military training, and sexual access to the women and children the Islamic State has as sex slaves. If you do well, you might even be awarded a "wife" sex slave. Tunisia or the Islamic State? What, in the name of reality, do you expect a lot of young testosterone-driven young men to choose?

Cruz, You Lie

    So Cruz's latest dirty trick that we know about is that he altered information to make it appear that Rubio was dissing the Bible. Author Gregory Peck wrote that some of the most evil people are very active volunteers in the church. Cruz hides behind the cross and faith-based versus evidence-based people. It was repugnant to see some hard-faced talking head on a news channel saying the American people- the government- didn't mind lying done on campaigns. They expected it. I beg to differ. Cruz was lying to us- the government- while he was campaigning. That means that if he is elected, he will lie to us as the president. Who but Cruz, his buddies, and crazy people would want that?

Pope! Then Tear Down Your Walls!

    So the Pope doesn't like Americans for wanting walls and declares Trump not a Christian becuase he supports international walls. But what does the Pope have around his little 110 acre country in Italy? Of course, walls. Is this not the age of hypocrisy? In fact, since the Islamic State said it was going to destroy the Vatican, the walls have been fortified with more shooters. How stupid does Pope Francis think we are that he says such a thing? Also, after pontificating that the Vatican was open to refugees, all I can find is that one family of four has entered the Christian See. So much for his Chrisitanity if letting refugees overrun your country is the criterion for Christianity now.
    I'd also like to know if the Pope's salary and the salaries of the rest of the employees at the Vatican are going to be taxed to reflect the services that the
Sharia-inclined Muslim refugees are going to get in his little country -all four of them!
    Good for you in standing up to the Pope, Trump. But do you really believe Bush knew specifically that 9-11 was going to happen, and that he deliberately misled us about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq because he was a cowboy who had run out of Indians to fight in Texas? You're loosing me, man! And I think you're the only one strong enough to take on Hillary, toe to toe, if the Democrats are so corrupt they nominate her over Bernie or my black lab, Maverick.

Trump: A Real Man?

    I was amused by the New York Times editorial yesterday sniffing that Trump's appeal was in the Appalachian Mountains as if only hillbillies who impregnated their daughters and anally raped out-of-town bowhunters were his supporters. Trump has come to the edge of cleaning the tables across America. Only as his statements are being analyzed for truthfulness is it becoming worrisome that he is not the real deal, not a strong man, but an impositor. The real deal does not lie over and over again like a Hillary Clinton nor does the strong man rely on lies. I had supported Trump as a protest against the corruption of America, but now I worry that a Trump might be worse than our present corruption. I am not alone in this. I just wish there was a more manly man running, someone strong who could attack Hillary, expose her, and a better vision. Peter Nickerson

Killing A Homosexual Ambassador

    I saw "13 Hours" last night. As soon as the consulate came under attack, there was an American drone overhead transmitting everything going outside to the Pentagon. Nobody did a thing except for a Seal in Tripoli who rounded up two Delta special operators and flew in.  Obama and Hillary knew, even though they, with Susan Rice, Hillary's longtime henchman who was in charge of crushing the women who came forward about her husband sexually harassing and even raping them. She did this because she wanted to follow Bill coat-tails into the presidency. Now she's trying to. Why did Obama, Hillary, and Susan Rice lie and deny the planned attack on Benghazi, an attack that included a devastating mortar and insist it was a demonstration that just got out of hand? Simple. Obama was facing re-election in two months and didn't want any bad news about his inept foreign policy. His policy was trying to get something for nothing, "leading from behind" looking like a coward and putting no "skin in the game."
    It doesn't work that way. The Sharia Muslims are coming for us regardless of how weak we act. The gutless Democrates will simply convert. They love structure and force, and they will get them in spades from Sharia Islam! Islam almost had a world-wide empire - stopped in France, thank God- and they're trying again. Sharia Muslims hate homosexuals. They torture them to death. Obama has, as president, bowed to Muslims. When he goes to other countries, he apologizes for America. Who's side is he on anyway? His glorified father was a Muslim. What side would you expect him to be or at least to be very sympathetic to? Muslims. I read both his books. In one, he tells of a college buddy and him yelling at people he claimed walked their dogs from their ritzy areas to his not so ritzy area so their dogs would poop there. Do you know what Obama and his friend called these despicable dog-walkers? They yelled "Colonists" at them. Now I ask you what world does Obama live in? Who yells "Colonists" at dog-walkers? Teed-off Muslims is who! Obama and Hillary both killed an American ambassador, two Seals, and a State Department communications expert so they could become presidents. One succeeded. Don't let the other. Hillary is not a civilized person. She is a deadly schemer only interested in herself and whomever she considers hers. Democrats must give her up. Peter Nickerson.

No Musllims In America!

    I was having lunch when two guys I knew at another table were discussing
Obama wanting to let Syrian refugees into America. I said, "No Muslims! No Muslims!"Immediately behind me, I heard a strangled voice calling me."Redneck! Redneck!" he managed to say.I turned around to confront the strange voice and saw that he was a young man with his body twisted with some disease. I didn't say anything, but I thought he was either uninformed or crazy. Didn't he know that the Muslims in Europe were not interested in becoming citizens of their countries and obeying the laws of their countries, but in changing through unlimited degradation and violence their new countries into hateful, degrading, murdering, poverty-stricken Sharia states where young, poor men have no hope of finding female sexual partnersThese young men will be testosterone-poisoned and prone to any outlets for violence while the rich men will have multiple wives and mistresses as allowed by the horrible Shariah Islam ideology-religion that rules them.
    Didn't this crippled young man behind me know, for instance, that since at least 2014 Shariah Muslims have been committing tanarrush (Arabic for "collective harassment") in Sweden, and the Swedish police had refused to investigate or even record the complaints from female citizens  younger than fourteen who had fingers and even objects pushed into their vaginas and anuses? The police ignored their own citizens because the men who commited these crimes and perversions were refugees from Afghanistan. Collectivists such as liberals, communists, fascists, and Hillary Clinton all hate the truth and will go to any length to deny the truth and suppress it.
    Crippled young man behind me, can't you see that Americans are as mad as hell about corrupt government employees everywhere, and we're not going to take it anymore? Rubio is a weak, pretty boy, and Cruz is weak and corrupt (just look at his mouth!). My vote is going for Trump.

Tom Hartman: Hypocrite

Tom Hartman has a three hour radio show on weekdays and a daily TV show. He and his wife drink wine at night. Yet he sneers every time he says "the rich."
I can guarantee you that Tommy boy is rich. Why doesn't he get rid of a situation that he publicly finds dispicable? Why doesn't he give away his wealth? The answer is that he is a hypocrite. Another one of those like Hillary Clinton. Their message is " Do as I say not as I do. As a Nietzchian hero, I am above you. My powerful, selfish will makes me an elite. Just do as I say, plebians and serfs or you'll be sorry." Peter Nickerson, Philosophy Major, William and Mary, '68.
