The Worst of MSNBC in 2016


Ariana Grande horrified after being objectified as a piece of meat

By Ecklebob Chiselfritz

Let's begin with a recap of the horrified one spitting on some doughnuts in a bakery two years ago.


Now for this mornings lesson in objectivity...


Yahoo

 ...The "Side to Side" hitmaker explained that she was out with her boyfriend, Mac Miller, when "a young boy" approached the couple to share that he's a fan of the rapper.

  "He was loud and excited and by the time M was seated in the driver's seat, he was literally almost in the car with us. I thought all of this was cute and exciting until he said 'Ariana is sexy as hell man. I see you, I see you hitting that!!'" she wrote.


 The 23-year-old explained, "This may not seem like a big deal to some of you but I felt sick and objectified. I was also sitting right there when he said it."
 
"I am not a piece of meat that a man gets to utilize for his pleasure," Grande continued. "I'm an adult human being in a relationship with a man who treats me with love and respect."...

And I Moved

 "And I Moved" was released on Pete Townshend's second solo album, Empty Glass, in the spring of 1980. The album deals with a plethora of issues that Townshend was struggling with, including alcoholism, drug abuse, marital problems and deceased friends.Empty Glass also contained the devotional love song, "Let My Love Open the Door", which became a top ten hit single in the US, along with the other (modestly successful) singles, "Rough Boys" and "A Little Is Enough".

The album was rated No. 57 on Rolling Stone's list of 100 Greatest Albums of the 1980's. Gibson had a poll which rated the album at No. 5 for "The greatest albums released by an artist who was previously in a successful band".



Reason to Believe

One of my favorite folk songs of the 60s is "Reason to Believe" written by Tim Hardin in 1965 and covered by many other artists including Rod Stewart, The Carpenters, Johnny Cash, and Glen Campbell The original recording appeared on his debut album, Tim Hardin 1, released on the Verve Records in 1966. The album is available on CD combined with his second album.

Soldiers of Allah use Western ingenuity to destroy the West


Newton’s third law: Yanking Chains

by Angela K. Durden

Newton’s third law says that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction a pair of forces act on two interacting objects. The size of the force on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object. Until these objects interact it is difficult to gauge the force either carries. Newton’s third law explains a lot of human interaction. Case in point: I was on my front door balcony the other day when school let out. Two young boys in my neighborhood made their way home. What caught my attention was the application of Newton’s third law in their interaction. As each went to their separate homes, it went like this:
First Boy: Nananabooboo. Second Boy: SHUT UP! First Boy: Nananabooboo. Second Boy: SHUT UP! First Boy: Nananabooboo. Second Boy: SHUT UP! First Boy: Nananabooboo. Second Boy: SHUT UP! First Boy: Nananabooboo. Second Boy: SHUT UP! First Boy: Nananabooboo. Second Boy: SHUT UP! First Boy: Nananabooboo. Second Boy: SHUT UP! First Boy: Nananabooboo. Second Boy: SHUT UP! First Boy: Nananabooboo. Second Boy: SHUT UP! First Boy: Nananabooboo. Second Boy: SHUT UP! First Boy: Nananabooboo. Second Boy: SHUT UP! First Boy: Nananabooboo. Second Boy: SHUT UP! First Boy: Nananabooboo. Second Boy: SHUT UP! First Boy: Nananabooboo. Second Boy: SHUT UP! First Boy: Nananabooboo. Second Boy: SHUT UP! 

This continued until each boy went inside. You will note the First Boy is not bold or italics and the Second Boy is. There’s a reason for that….
You see, whether he knows it or not, First Boy has perfected the art of yanking ya chain. The best way to yank a chain is to be calm and act like you don’t care. One must maintain a face that is completely unreadable and shows no emotion. Almost as if one is studying the specimen under the glass. The bigger the reaction the calmer and less caring one gets.
See? Equal and opposite.
First Boy had it down pat. Second Boy didn’t get it and kept playing into the hands of First Boy. I haven’t seen anything like that in ages because usually by the time one reaches their forties one has no more energy for chain yanking of the entertainment kind.
However, chain yanking for social and political reasons is alive and well. Evidence Donald “The Hammer” Trump. He is very good at yanking the chains of Liberals and that large herd of associated animals known as RINOs. It’s been fun to watch as he gets them to show their real selves. Ah. Awesome.

Well, excuuuuuse me! #SteveMartin

by Kim D.

Seriously, Steve. Please go on all the talk and news shows to address your recent Twitter tribute to Carrie Fisher and simply say "Well, excuuuuuse me!" and do it in the most sarcastic tone you can muster. As a life-long friend to Fisher, you have the right to express an opinion, unlike the outraged masses who never knew her.


Don't just delete your tweet and fade quietly, hoping the fervor calms down. What's wrong with acknowledging that the first thing you noticed about Carrie Fisher was that she was beautiful?

Many will turn to Carrie Fisher's activism against sexism and ageism in Hollywood and will feel justified in skewering Martin for his tweet; however, would Fisher agree with the pitchfork and torch treatment of her friend? Doubtfully so.


People need to calm the hell down:



You have all but destroyed entertainment by censoring those who actually are the funniest among us. We need more Steve Martins in the world, not Samantha Bees. And if you are one of the ones losing their minds over Martin's sentimental tribute of Fisher but cheered about this . . . 


 . . . it's official. Congrats on being a member of the deranged outraged society. Seek help immediately.

Darkness: My enemy, my friend

by Angela K. Durden


I adore darkness. Dark walls and curtains. Dark clothes and places. Dark songs and stories. When surrounded by darkness punctuated with bright small pools of light, I function quite well.
I function well, that is, except during December when the sun isn’t around so much. When round-the-clock inclement weather further darken what sun there is. When the twinkle of holiday lights, so joyful for so many, harken flashbacks of evil and dark thoughts of despair. When casually thrown Merry Christmases and Happy Holidays hit me like a bunker buster.
During such a time I am without hope, cannot generate a smile, don’t want to go in public, everyone hates me, no one loves me, no one cares for me, I am stupid, worthless, useless, and an idiot. This happens every year so you’d think I would be used to it, could plan for it. But no! I’m not and I don’t. Every year I am surprised. Eventually, the sun comes back around and holiday cheer is removed and I again become upbeat. But, O God!, help me through another time of testing. I thank you.

CNN claims Mary & Joseph were "refugees seeking asylum"

Umm, no. Mary and Joseph were not refugees.

 Luke 2J.B. Phillips New Testament (PHILLIPS)

The census brings Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem

1-7 At that time a proclamation was made by Caesar Augustus that all the inhabited world should be registered. This was the first census, undertaken while Cyrenius was governor of Syria and everybody went to the town of his birth to be registered. Joseph went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to David’s town, Bethlehem, in Judea, because he was a direct descendant of David, to be registered with his future wife, Mary, now in the later stages of her pregnancy. So it happened that it was while they were there in Bethlehem that she came to the end of her time. She gave birth to her first child, a son. And as there was no place for them inside the inn, she wrapped him up and laid him in a manger.

I'm Doing My Christmas Dreaming


Front Page Magazine 12/26/02: Happy Kwanzaa

Front Page Magazine


On December 24, 1971, the New York Times ran one of the first of many articles on a new holiday designed to foster unity among African Americans. The holiday, called Kwanzaa, was applauded by a certain sixteen-year-old minister who explained that the feast would perform the valuable service of "de-whitizing" Christmas. The minister was a nobody at the time but he would later go on to become perhaps the premier race-baiter of the twentieth century. His name was Al Sharpton and he would later spawn the Tawana Brawley hoax and then incite anti-Jewish tensions in a 1995 incident that ended with the arson deaths of seven people.

Great minds think alike. The inventor of the holiday was one of the few black "leaders" in America even worse than Sharpton. But there was no mention in the Times article of this man or of the fact that at that very moment he was sitting in a California prison. And there was no mention of the curious fact that this purported benefactor of the black people had founded an organization that in its short history tortured and murdered blacks in ways of which the Ku Klux Klan could only fantasize.

It was in newspaper articles like that, repeated in papers all over the country, that the tradition of Kwanzaa began. It is a tradition not out of Africa but out of Orwell. Both history and language have been bent to serve a political goal. When that New York Times article appeared, Ron Karenga's crimes were still recent events. If the reporter had bothered to do any research into the background of the Kwanzaa founder, he might have learned about Karenga's trial earlier that year on charges of torturing two women who were members of US (United Slaves), a black nationalist cult he had founded.

A May 14, 1971, article in the Los Angeles Times described the testimony of one of them: "Deborah Jones, who once was given the Swahili title of an African queen, said she and Gail Davis were whipped with an electrical cord and beaten with a karate baton after being ordered to remove their clothes. She testified that a hot soldering iron was placed in Miss Davis' mouth and placed against Miss Davis' face and that one of her own big toes was tightened in a vise. Karenga, head of US, also put detergent and running hoses in their mouths, she said."

Back then, it was relatively easy to get information on the trial. Now it's almost impossible. It took me two days' work to find articles about it. The Los Angeles Times seems to have been the only major newspaper that reported it and the stories were buried deep in the paper, which now is available only on microfilm. And the microfilm index doesn't start until 1972, so it is almost impossible to find the three small articles that cover Karenga's trial and conviction on charges of torture. That is fortunate for Karenga. The trial showed him to be not just brutal, but deranged. He and three members of his cult had tortured the women in an attempt to find some nonexistent "crystals" of poison. Karenga thought his enemies were out to get him...

Sweden Rape Update - Boy brutally assaulted by 5 Afghan Teens

by Kim D.

How did Sweden go from being a peaceful, low-crime country to one of the leading rape cultures in the world? What has changed? The liberal media will gnash its teeth and deny it, but the leading indicators of change is immigration infiltration by third-world asylum seekers.  In a country where rape was rare and shocking, it has now become quite commonplace.

According to the Daily Mail, the latest rape outrage involves a young boy who was brutally attacked by five Afghan teenagers:
Even though the teens are denying the attack, evidently one of the idiots filmed parts of the rape and posted it to social media. See video below for more information on what has become Sweden's Migrant Rape Epidemic.

Crowdfunding for Assassination or Scamming for Bitcoins?

by Kim D.

The dark web is a ominous place. Our newly elected president and vice-president should beware. 
Or is this just a scam? Like Jill Stein and her ridiculous vote recount, right after the election is the perfect time to solicit funds from the losing team. An alleged hacker who goes by "The kind Austrian citizen, 1k4" looked into the source code of the website and has claimed,
"This site is being hosted by the Canadian citizen [redacted]. He once worked for a Canadian Best Buy's Geek Squad . . . He's actually just a little scammer. . . "
The hacker goes on to claim he (or she) has altered the Bitcoin wallet to thwart this fundraising or scamming effort.

On December 1st, my little one was so excited to open the first window of his Lego City Advent Calendar and build his first creation (two snowmen). It's the first thing he does in the morning before beginning the search for his elf Noah (yeah, we do Elf on the Shelf too). Well, Vox says advent calendars are bad and reminiscent of Nazis.

According to Heat Street, "Duncan Lloyd, an assistant city solicitor, appears on the camera footage casually carrying a glass of wine in his hand throughout the act." So far no charges for Lloyd who appears to be cooperating with police.  This must be one part white and one part liberal privilege.

A Dictator is Dead, But His Repressive Legacy Will Not Follow Him to the Grave

An Apology Letter from Santa?

by Kim D.

Go back in time to the Christmas mornings when you were young. You wake up and fly down the stairs to see what Santa has brought you. Imagine instead of the toy you so desperately wanted, you received an apology letter from Santa. For some children who wanted a Hatchimal for Christmas, this is exactly the bad news they're going to get on what should be the jolliest day of the year.
All I can say is thankfully my son doesn't want a Hatchimal for Christmas, at least he hasn't mentioned it so far. Evidently it is the hottest toy kids are asking Santa for this holiday season and it has literally hatched and flown off the toy shelves.  If you didn't buy one early, good luck finding one.

The company supply is low so for most desperate parents seeking one, the black market is looking like the most viable option. But for the parents who can't afford to pay six times the original price ($80), what is the alternative? An apology letter from Santa:



If a letter shifting the blame to Santa works for you, go for it, but don't expect many smiles Christmas morning. No way I would do that to my son if the Lego at the top of his list could not be found. I'd break it to him gently and early and give him a chance to substitute another toy for that item on his wish list.

Contrarian or simply a finely tuned chucklehead radar?

by Angela Durden

I’ve been accused of being a contrarian. That is, someone who always will take the opposite view of another just because. I can see how these folks could think that seeing as how most folks are aligned with popular opinion. See how I get along with folks? I can see their point of view and that, of course, is the problem. While I can see their point of view, they cannot see mine.
Photo Credit
Not only can they not see my view, mine is an unknown unknown to them. That is, they didn’t know there could be another view other than the one they have. Parrots don’t have opinions of their own. Parrots repeat what they hear. Parrots don’t think. So when I hear parrots my finely tuned chucklehead radar kicks in. Just because my radar kicks in does not mean I open my mouth in response. Sometimes it’s just not worth it. Let’s say I’m at a party and here comes the parrot my way just a-squawking some nonsense. Why, I just smile, sip my drink, and stuff a meatball in my mouth and mumble-mumble. After all, is the party really a time to start an argument or insult a fellow guest? I think not. 
Granted they believe I agree with them, and that silence at the party has later come back to bite me in the butt. That is the price I am willing to pay to make the party a success. See how hard I work to get along with folks?
After I leave the party, though, well I can let the contrarian fly. As a person who has been forced to become Citizen Journalist because the Media Elite have become fancy parrots, I have found it to be my duty to expound.
That expounding, though, is only done after much research. Here’s how that works:
  1. Headline seems too good to be true
  2. Citizen Journalist (CJ) determines if subject of headline has broad implications to business in general and/or is a threat to the safety of the Constitution and Bill of Rights
  3. If yes, CJ reads entire story under headline
  4. CJ identifies gotcha nugget
  5. CJ researches source publication and/or writer
  6. CJ searches for any other source material on same story
  7. CJ identifies truth of situation
  8. CJ expounds in writing
This Citizen Journalist knows she is working in the metaphorical wilderness, but the wilderness is not a bad place to be. There aren’t many distractions out there thus allowing the CJ to focus.
However, in the interests of full disclosure, if one were to ask this Citizen Journalist’s relatives about her contrarianism, they would say, “Oh, she got it from Granddaddy. Nuts don’t fall far from the tree, ya know.”
