DON'T LET THE DEMOCRATIC BULLHORN BULL SH***ERS BACK INTO THE TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE

Ann Coulter makes that point in her article," On Democrat 'Insurrectionists' with Bullhorns: Expel Them Again!"  Here is part of her fine, informative article:

Please explain how the Jan 6 QAnon Shaman showed more contempt for the democratic process than Jones and Pearson did. How about compared to a representative sending naughty texts to female colleagues outside of business hours—the casus belli of the last expulsion in 2016.

But according to MSNBC, the only reason Jones and Pearson were expelled was because the “predominantly white, predominantly male” lawmakers refuse to “coexist with representatives who are female or young or black”—as Nicole Wallace put it. (Nicole: Relax. You’ve got the job.)

In bafflement, Wallace asked, “Why did they have to be expelled? Why did this come to this?”

Rep. Gloria Johnson, the body-positive white representative, begged not to be expelled, pointing out with some justice that, unlike Jones and Pearson, she broke no House rules—never shouted, pounded the podium, displayed a protest sign or used a bullhorn.

But as soon as her argument succeeded and she wasn’t expelled, Johnson rushed to MSNBC to say racism was the only reason she wasn’t. The sole deciding factor, she said, was “the color of our skin.”

If so, then why did she flap her gums about not breaking any House rules? Why not just say, Hey, guys! I’m white! (Amazon is now accepting pre-orders for her forthcoming memoir, "Profiles in Craven.")

Some conservatives say the Republicans should have expelled the white lady just to avoid (false) charges of racism. Yes, and innocent whites and Asians should be sent to prison so no one can say our criminal justice system is racist.

I’m sorry if black people break rules out of proportion to their numbers in the population, but we don’t punish the innocent to achieve some childish idea of “equity.”

Rep. Johnson is a liar, but she didn’t break any House rules. Jones and Pearson did.

Johnson defended the assault on democracy by her black colleagues, saying, “The younger generation has a different way of speaking. They have a different way of addressing things.” So get used to bullhorns during legislative sessions, America! It’s just black style.

Apparently, we’ve returned to the Treating-Black-People-Like-Children phase of “Diversity.” I just wish liberals would state their racism plainly: We simply can’t expect black people to abide by white norms of dignity and decorum.

 

ON THE PUTIN-XI MEETING OF MARCH 2023

Since the days of Nixon and Kissinger, US has aimed to split Moscow and Beijing. The Biden Presidency pushed them into marriage.  Biden is a catastrophe for the US.  More nations are dumping the dollar and using the Yuan as reserve currency. Worse, the new anti-US grouping appears to be Russia, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, North Korea, and add on Afghanistan, Syria, possibly Turkey, Solomon Islands, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, possibly South Africa - that is a huge bloc lining up against the US, thanks to the brilliant leadership of Joe Biden and the Democrats.

IRISH INFLUENCE ON AMERICAN ACCENTS?

 Newser just had an article regarding St. Patrick's Day, the day Irish celebrate.  It noted the most Irish American cities, beginning with New York City, and Chicago, followed by Boston.  New Orleans was not on the top 10 list.  I added a comment on how I thought the Irish had influenced the language of both New Orleans and Brooklyn, and in the same way.  Perhaps I am wrong, or not?  Hugh

 

New Orleans did not have the usual Southern accent; the NO accent was much more like the Brooklyn accent of old. Aw my Gawd. Lawdy Miss Claudie, Fats Domino sang of when we're apawt, and that would rhyme with my big hawt. Some might call me an old fought. One too tree. it's easy for da goils. Oil put erl in da caw. Ya rench your hands afta ya bin to da terlet. How long ta berl da water?  And in the 1986 film, "The Big Easy," Dennis Quaid often calls Ellen Barkin "dawlin''. A part of New Orleans was called the Irish Channel, as many Irish arrived as ballast on ships from the UK during the potato famine, 1840s & 50s. The Irish new comers probably changed the accents of both Brooklyn and New Orleans about the same time and in the same way.  In the North it was Brooklynese; in New Orleans, we were Yats, for Where are you at?  a form of Hello, Where yat?

AN AGING PROBLEM!

    Dear folks, excuse me, but I am old.  Now, I cannot remember, President Biden's Sanctions, were they meant to bring down Russia's Putin, or the Western Banking System?   (Just joking)

TUNISIA'S PRESIDENT COMPLAINS ABOUT MIGRANTS FROM SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA, PRO-INVADER PROTESTORS CALL HIM RACIST

A headline from Newser, 25 February 2023 

Protesters Oppose Racism, Back Migrants

Tunisia's president had made allegations of a sub-Saharan plot

My comment is below

The irony - American Black Nationalists often claim Egypt and Carthage as Black; Cleopatra, Hannibal, etc. Tunisia, where ancient Carthage is located, does not want invaders from black Africa.  Seems that Tunisia's President Kais Saied might disagree with them.  Indeed, Kevin Hart's proposed special on a Black Nat history of Egypt was cancelled, by the Egyptians.

Jared Diamond, in his book famous book of excusiology Guns, Germs and Steel, on why sub Saharan could not develop as other lands had, asserted, for example, the elephants of India could be trained, but African elephants could not. Yet Hannibal was able to take AFRICAN elephants across the Alps with his army in his war with Rome. If the Spaniard/Carthagian Hannibal could train the African elephants (coins of the era showed ears of African elephants, not those of India), then why did not the sub-Saharan peoples train the elephants too??

99 RED BALLOONS

 I think it was in the 1970s when a German song came to the US, "99 Luft Ballons," which became a hit here as "99 Red Balloons,"  Now we can sing it as "99 Red Party Balloons," as the new balloons are white, but unleashed by the Chinese Communist Party government.
