USS FITZGERALD Investigations Continue

Here’s an update from Reuters, linked by the inexplicably popular gCaptain.

About a dozen U.S. sailors are expected to face punishment for a collision in June between the USS Fitzgerald and a Philippines cargo ship, including the warship’s commanding officer and other senior leaders of the ship, the Navy said on Thursday.

The headline is in factual error, but the story sounds well-researched. Only one officer will be relieved of command, of course. More than officers will be disciplined — at least one enlisted man will be shuttered in some way.
Alongside the tales of heroism and sacrifice, there remain of course the more tiresome details of administration and fault-finding.

“What difference at this point does it make?” Of course, the difference made is in the … Continue reading

Right Angles, Political Correspondent, Reporting From Washington!

At the White House today, President Donald Trump came out strongly against impaling puppies on swords. In a speech in the Rose Garden, the president said, “I condemn this barbaric practice in the strongest terms.”

But CNN’s Smarty McSmartypants criticized Trump for not using the phrase “those icky bullies,” saying this is clear evidence of his secret support. MSNBC’s I.B. Sillee reported that because Trump failed to use any words that start with the letter “q,” the speech was a policy failure.  Rep Maxine Waters called a press conference to object to Trump’s use of the word “barbaric,” calling it “an obvious dog whistle to Islamophobes.”

He is not a Russian Stooge, he is now a Nazi. Forget all that Russian stooge stuff and get with the program.

If you are following the latest meme skirmish where the Globals try to destroy Trump in the mind of the voters, the labelling him as a fascist supporter and the disbanding of the CEO councils are forcing him to move far more populist with less balance.

We are watching a very risky game where the globalists think they can rally the peons with negative images and Trump will be forced to move closer to a working class base.

I fully expect less corporate cooperation and more corporate scapegoating for the too big to fail crowd.

As the statues keep falling and the antifa thugs keep swarming, the response will be that the Globals overplayed their hand , again.

The Globals alternative to people is just ….nothing but ‘know … Continue reading

Americans versus The people who reside in the US

The skirmishes are growing more frequent.

The labelling continues apace.

Who would have believed the “America First” would be such a litmus test dividing line?

One side is noisy and arrogant, the other is simmering and quiet.

The shadows are receding and the masks are coming off.

The game underway now is to frame the 2018 election.  Antifa will be deployed to create chaos and memes.

Mueller will get desperate to have himself fired. He will try and indict a Trump family member in the media.

The Chinese are being begged to stop a confrontation where Trump wins.

The swamp knows they cannot handle a repeat of 2016 in 2018 at the ballot box.

The next six months will see escalation of “He is unfit for office” to … Continue reading

Farewell, Liz edit: Remember this?

Liz, this is BDB. Please leave and do not come back. Stop mailing, stop signing up, stop posting, etc.  stop offering “friendly advice” and stop stop stop.

I have no time for drama. I tried to respect your privacy, and that has not worked.

I wish you well, but somewhere else.

Please do not respond. This is as good as it gets, and it won’t be this good again.  (Who can place that near-quote)?

Google Achieves Peak Ludicrous, Can No Longer Be Parodied

Goolag crop

As proof, see here. Now this memo is not real, we might say it’s ‘Fake but Accurate’, that is it faithfully reflects Google’s corporate position on life, the universe and everything* but it was not written by a Googler. How do we know this? well, there are a few tells:

First, the author’s name, Kevin Clark. Hell, might as well have a neon sign over your head proclaiming, “privileged white bread cracker scion of the hegemonic patriarchy and life time member of the Aryan Brotherhood”. No, real people of Google have monikers like Aishiwarya “wrath of Kali” Premji-Tata, and Alonzo Shaka Zulu Jr., … Continue reading
