Did the US Navy have a Close Encounter with aliens?

Posted on December 19, 2017 by Sabina Becker

Cenk Uygur certainly seems to think so, and so do I:

Of course, the US also has an anti-alien defence protocol in place, apparently:

“My personal belief is that there is very compelling evidence that we may not be alone,” Luis Elizondo told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Monday night.

Elizondo, who ran the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program during its tenure from 2007 to 2012, said he no longer works for the U.S. government. The Department of Defense says it shut down the initiative in 2012, but the Times reported that some backers say the program is still operating.

“I will tell you unequivocally that through the observation ― scientific methodologies that were applied to look at this phenomenon ― that these aircraft … are displaying characteristics that are not currently within the U.S. inventory nor in any foreign inventories that we are aware of,” he added.

Here are some further details on that program:

The New York Times reported on Saturday that the hush-hush program, tasked with investigating sightings of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, ran from 2007 to 2012 with $22 million in annual funding secretly tucked away in U.S. Defense Department budgets worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

Its initial funding came largely at the request of former Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat long known for his enthusiasm for space phenomena, the newspaper said.

Yet according to its backers, the program remains in existence and officials continue to investigate UFO episodes brought to their attention by service members, the newspaper said.

The Pentagon openly acknowledged the fate of the program in response to a Reuters query.

“The Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program ended in the 2012 timeframe,” Pentagon spokeswoman Laura Ochoa said in an email.

“It was determined that there were other, higher priority issues that merited funding and it was in the best interest of the DoD to make a change,” she said.

I’m not saying it was aliens…but it was aliens! said the official spokesperson, cagily.

I’m eerily reminded of those scenes in John Carpenter’s movie, Starman, in which the US military first shoots down an alien spacecraft, perceiving it as a threat…and then hunts down the alien who came aboard that craft. The paranoia is palpable, and apparently, all too real.

One thing is for sure: When the US military finally engages with one of our alien visitors, it won’t look like this:

…because this kind of engagement is entirely above their heads, and way too peaceful for their paranoid asses, too.

Donnie’s EPA is swimming in its own shit, literally

Posted on December 19, 2017 by Sabina Becker

Gee, Mr. Pruitt, I hope you’re satisfied. May you drink from a tainted fountain forever more.

Also, could someone get Donnie a glass of that? I’m sure he’ll drink it with both hands.

Did Donnie molest Ann Romney?

Posted on December 18, 2017 by Sabina Becker

Watch this and judge for yourselves, gentle readers. Did Donnie grab Ann’s butt?

It’s hard to say for sure, but it looks to me like he did. The fact that they both shifted position at the same time, and she appears to have given a small start and a grimace, is pretty telling. And he smirked.

Granted, Donnie smirks a lot. It’s practically his default facial expression. But given what we already know about him and his gropey tendencies, one can expect to see him looking like the cat that ate the canary when he’s just been grabbing ’em by the pussy…so to speak.

And, honestly, I wouldn’t put it past him to molest Rafalca Romney. (That’s Ann’s horse. Remember her?) Donnie is a serial groper who seems to think all female creatures were just put there for him to paw. He can’t stop himself. He even said so himself. And the evidence was kept secret for years…presumably because it was too scandalous to air and cause a ruckus.

So the question isn’t really so much “did he do it”, as “why didn’t the Romneys speak out about it?” And the answer, I think, is down to simple embarrassment. Who wants to admit that they foolishly let their guard down around a crass molester like that? Who wants to admit that someone whose political support they actively sought out is in fact a gross old pervert?

Also, remember, this incident is not so recent. It happened in 2012. That was BEFORE the current wave of anti-rape protests. So, again: embarrassment is stronger than the desire to tell.

A final, most important thing to remember: Even now, with #MeToo still going strong, and daily reports of harassment, molestation and assault by powerful personages (mostly male) hitting the headlines, there are still victims out there who just can’t bring themselves to come forward, for whatever reason. They don’t feel safe. They don’t feel confident. They don’t believe it will do them any good, and may indeed feel that it will cost them…STILL. It probably will. They are probably NOT safe. They have every reason not to feel confident.

And honestly, this shouldn’t be on THEM. They’re not the perpetrators. But that’s the thing with sexual misconduct: It’s the only crime or misdemeanor where the victim is the one who’s held responsible and made to feel guilty. It’s the only crime where perpetrators are actively protected by “due process” and public opinion alike. “She brought it on herself” and “What was she expecting?” are still being tossed around like so much monkey-shit in the air. They clog up the courtrooms, too. Is it any wonder so few of the many, MANY victims feel free to come forward, even now?

So yeah, I believe Donnie did it. And I also understand completely why Ann Romney wouldn’t want to come forward about it. I understand why she’d rather swallow that seemingly minor embarrassment and go on like nothing went wrong. Donnie somehow wangled himself an election where Ann’s husband could not. That takes a LOT of power. The pervy old perp is still president, inexplicably and horrifyingly. He can apparently get away with anything. He can pardon any criminal crony of his, however guilty. He’s probably even looked into doing it for himself. Who wants to go up against that?

No doubt Ann Romney doesn’t, and she shouldn’t have to.

Music for a Sunday: Two long-overdue Hall of Famers finally get their due

Posted on December 17, 2017 by Sabina Becker

It’s positively a scandal that it took this long for the Moody Blues to finally get the recognition they deserve. But here they are, and here we are…

And even more overdue than they? The Founding Foremother of Rock ‘n’ Roll herself, Sister Rosetta:

This train pulled Chuck Berry, Elvis…and the Beatles, too, in her wake. And Woody Guthrie was all on board with the folkies. She’s the most overdue of them all…and it’s great to finally see her get her due.

Wankers of the Week: Treason for the Season

Posted on December 15, 2017 by Sabina Becker

treason-for-the-season.jpg

Crappy weekend, everyone! It’s now less than ten days till Xmas, and you know what I’m singing? That’s right…it’s the most blunderful time of the year! And here’s who bumbled their way onto my shitlist this week, in no particular order:

1. Donald Fucking Drumpf, Jr. Dude, do you really need to be told that you do NOT mess with Katniss Everdeen…or the denizens of the tweeter? Ha, ha.

2. Brian Fucking Pallister. He’s a tall man…and you know what that means, don’t you kiddies? Yup…he’s got a mighty big foot, and a mighty big mouth to stick it in. Ha, ha.

3. Jay Fucking Swingler. Sometimes, Teh Stoopid kills people. And sometimes, it just doesn’t come close enough. Especially when Teh Stoopid is the kind who’ll do anything for YouTube views. Maybe the next time we read his name, it will be on the Darwin Awards website? Let us pray…

bethlehem-today.jpg

4. David Fucking Clarke. Donnie is doing WHAT? Oh HELL no. Dude, go find some cattle to go with that hat, because right now, there is nothing but bullshit emanating from under it.

5. Mitch Fucking McConnell. Oh look, Yertle the Turtle is getting fractious! Guess who’s gonna be getting poop in his stocking when the next election day rolls around?

6. Cheryl Fucking Hall. No, Donnie isn’t God. And MAGA isn’t a religion. And you…are a delusional cultist idiot committing the sin of idolatry.

roy-xmas.jpg

7. Danielle Fucking Bregoli. No, she didn’t get a full ride to Harvard. First off, she’s 14. Second, she’s a high-school dropout. And third, she’s a wanker whose sole claim to fame is mouthing off on the Dr. Phil show. Her 15 minutes were up an hour ago. Hahvud has admitted and even graduated more than its share of dubious people, but something tells me they draw the line at this.

8. Kayla Fucking Moore. Is this the new “Some of my best friends are black”? Congratulations, you have a Jewish lawyer. Big fucking deal. Doesn’t mean you’re not antisemitic, especially if you hired ‘em based on stereotypes about, you know, Jewish lawyers.

9. Kimberly Fucking Jones. It’s one thing to have a bullied kid. But to try to MONETIZE said kid and his suffering at the hands of others? And to go around bullying others yourself, and talking about “picking switches”, when you’re not being flat-out racist and bringing said kid up to do the same? Yeah…that makes you a disgusting fraud. Ain’t nobody going and funding YOU, lady, so sit your ass down. Take as many hard seats as you like. Hey, you said you were into “porch therapy”!

believe-in-santa.jpg

10. Nigel Fucking Farage. Shorter: Muslims from Pakistan trafficking child sex slaves? EVIL! Christians from Alabama doing the same? CRICKETS. No, ol’ Nige isn’t a bit biased. Why do you ask?

11. Franklin Fucking Graham. You prayed for the losing candidate to win? Better start praying for yourself to catch a clue…although, given that God is a black woman, She might take Her sweet time getting ‘round to you.

12. Roy Fucking Moore. Yes, that’s right, #8’s Dear Hubby also made the cut. In fact, it’s been a banner week for him, between picking up that Nazi endorsement for “quoting Hitler correctly”, the new “some of my best friends are black” canard, the “totally not a pervert because he accidentally-on-purpose visited a child brothel in Vietnam” bit of WTFery, and oh yeah: getting a little girl even younger than his former “dates” (read: VICTIMS) to “interview” him about all the constitutional amendments he wants to do away with — including, conveniently, the ones allowing women and minorities to vote. And given that women and minorities just handed him his ass in this election, I guess it’s not hard to see why!

roy-moore-food-court.jpg

13. Shawn Fucking White. And in case you thought #9 was a fluke, here’s her ex. A white supremacist, complete with the ugly haircut and tattoos. If anyone’s bullying that poor kid, I’d say it’s starting at home. Hello, Child Protection Services?

14. Meanwhile, in Alberta, we have this dear, DEAR friend of Jason Fucking Kenney’s…who proves that the two are peas in a pod, and not just in terms of first names. And yes, it just so figures that this one would join the Party of Female Oppression.

15. Mo Fucking Brooks. Karma’s a bitch, innit? And it looks like she’s got this one by the…no, not the balls. Think further in, and well up the ass. And then ask yourself what bad living practices he may have engaged in to deserve this. Surely not trying to kick people off of affordable health insurance, eh?

grumpkin-pervert.jpg

16. Mike Fucking Pence. You know you’ve failed as a Christian when the holy cryptkeeper of Jerusalem has sworn never to let you in. And really, it’s a no-brainer: Why bother claiming to follow the Prince of Peace when your real boss has pretty much just touched a lit match to the whole Middle East powder keg?

17. Blake Fucking Farenthold. Know that saying about how even if you only hump a goat in jest, you’re still a goat-humper in all earnest? Well, guess who just screwed the goat…yup, THIS guy. And no, he wasn’t kidding!

18. Sean Fucking Hannity. Sorry, Baby Jesus, but you can’t get away from the fact that you plunked for the pedophile. And now you’re tripping over your own clodhoppers in your haste to distance yourself, because your dick’s not big enough.

hipster-santa.jpg

19. Alex Fucking Jones. And speaking of clodhoppers and small dicks, here he is, making predictably lame excuses for why his pedophile candidate lost in Alabama. Hey Alex, your “research” is crap. It’s done by the same people who insist that eating lead is good for your brain!

20. Steve Fucking Bannon. Yes, the Wall Street Urinal is Captain Obvious here when it calls him and his handpicked candidates losers. But remember, there was a time when literally anything with an R after its name — or a swastika tattooed on its forehead — got a free pass from them. This guy is so bad that they’re no longer doing that, which is…good?

21. Jerry Fucking Moore. Yup, that’s right, Judge Dreadful’s own brother got in on the stoopid. Because the one getting his ass kicked just wasn’t butthurt enough, apparently. But God just called, and wants to make a couple of things clear: (a) She’s a black woman, and (b) you don’t speak for Her, so keep Her name out of your mouth.

joy-to-the-world.jpg

22. Bill Fucking Mitchell. And right on cue, out come the disinfo trolls to try to discredit a fair-and-square victory for a candidate who would have been a shoo-in anywhere BUT the deep fucking south. Typical!

23. Kirk Fucking Humphreys. Oh shit, and here comes the “being gay is the same as being a pedophile” canard, too. Right on schedule! I wonder, though: Is being straight also the same as being a pedophile? Because there are an awful lot of men who can’t seem to lay off the girls…

24. Jon Fucking Ritzheimer. He’s a convicted felon who can’t vote in elections, as well as being a big weepy fascist fuckhead who illegally occupied government property and trashed a bird sanctuary…but he CAN run for office? Something here just doesn’t smell right.

god-is-black-woman.jpg

25. Paul Fucking Ryan. You want women to have more babies? Try giving them reasons not to dread bringing more hungry mouths into this world…like more and better paying jobs, a cleaner environment, healthcare for all, net neutrality, birth control and abortion for their daughters…you know, BASIC HUMAN NECESSITIES? But knock it off with this whole “make (white) babies for the state” bullshit…because unless the future depends on them for something beyond cannon fodder, you’re just yelling down a dry well. PS: Well, look who just fucked off as the water was starting to boil around him. How convenient…YOU FUCKING COWARD!

26. Carl Fucking Benjamin. Well, finally…Carl of Swindon, otherwise known as not-Sargon of definitely-not-Akkad, has come out of the fash-trash closet. What took you so long, you equivocating coward?

27. Eric Fucking Drumpf. Because hey, if dear ol’ Dad could insinuate that a female Democratic senator is some kind of prostitute, why not just follow in his bumbling footsteps?

gollum-drumpf.jpg

28. Andrew Fucking Leonie. No, every man is NOT a victim of sexual discrimination, harassment, or assault. The overwhelming majority of them are not victimized in the slightest, and a large number of them are, in fact, perpetrators. And their entire gender is the beneficiary of the unlevel playing field that’s been created by that. But hey! Nice to see you victimizing yourself out a job, asswipe.

29. Matthew Fucking Spencer Fucking Petersen. Why the double Fucking? Because that’s how predictably absurd it is that one of Donnie’s so-called judicial nominees…has zero understanding of the laws he’s supposed to be interpreting from the bench!

30. Pete Fucking Besserer. Once more, with feeling: If you can’t afford to pay your workers a living wage, you don’t belong in business! And that said: Good fucking riddance to bad fucking rubbish. That’s YOU, sir. And good luck with your future job search…you’re gonna need it!

13-cans.jpg

And finally, to Ajit Fucking Pai. It wasn’t enough for this former employee of a major telecom (whose hand is still apparently up his ass) to kill net neutrality. No, he just had to go dancing on its grave…with an idiotess from the Daily Caller, the very one who promoted the phony Pizzagate story and nearly got a bunch of kids killed while they were eating pizza. And when he was done doing that, he pissed on the grave with a fidget spinner whirling at the end of his dong while the Harlem Shuffle played in the background. And of course, the creator of the Harlem Shuffle song has now sued him…and come out in favor of net neutrality. Merry Christmas, Ajit…you filthy fucking animal.

Good night, and get fucked!

Juicebro’s latest dick move? A bogus harassment lawsuit!

Posted on December 14, 2017 by Sabina Becker

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, we’ve had a lot of Juicebro stories over the last week or two. With any luck, though, this could be the last we hear of and from him for a while, because he’s now landed in legal hot water…and might even end up doing time for it:

On Tuesday afternoon, right-wing social media personalities Charles Johnson and Mike Cernovich boasted of obtaining a document that would put a senator out of a job.

“Michael Cernovich & I are going to end the career of a U.S. Senator,” Johnson posted on Facebook on Monday.

The senator was Minority Leader Charles Schumer of New York, Axios first reported.

But the document was fake. A copy of the document, obtained by The Daily Beast, purports to be draft lawsuit complaint against Schumer by a former staffer. It accuses him of sexual harassment. Schumer’s office told The Daily Beast the document and her signature are forgeries. Schumer’s office said the senator was not in Washington, D.C. or the United States during several dates in the document when he is said to have harassed the staffer.

Oops — ha, ha. BUSTED! So much for the weaponization of outrage.

This is now the third time unlucky for Mikey. He failed to get Sam Seder canned from MSNBC; he’s had no luck getting David Pakman fired either; and I’m pretty sure Senator Schumer isn’t amused by this latest volley of flying monkey shit, for his part.

Even better, the Capitol Police are now on the case. Meaning, we could see a couple of very sheepish trolls doing the humble bumble in orange suits and leg irons before we know it. And won’t that be a pretty sight? The color scheme should go great with Chuckles’ hair, and the silver glints of the shackles will really bring out the grizzle in Juicebro’s douchey chin-scruff.

Best of all, Cerno is, or claims to be, a graduate of Pepperdine University’s school of law. But now we know that he is definitely NOT a lawyer in active practice…because if he were, he could have told Chucky that forging a complaint against the Democratic senate leader was a very bad idea. One that no actual, responsible lawyer would want any part of, even for the lulz.

Juicebro fails to put a dent in Sam Seder — or to learn, apparently

Posted on December 13, 2017 by Sabina Becker

Yeah, that’s right, he’s now targeting David Pakman…another progressive talk show host. And I’m sure he’ll have just as much success at that as he did with Sam Seder.

I would compare Juicebro Cerno with that dogshit that always has a way of getting under people’s shoes, but that would be grossly unfair to the dogshit.

Evo praises Venezuelan election, slams Honduran farce

Posted on December 11, 2017 by Sabina Becker

Oh, that Evo. Never could keep his mouth shut…or his tweeter quiet. Just look what he’s been saying about the difference between a democracy and a dictatorship…and no, it’s not who you in the US have been conditioned to think it is:

Bolivian president Evo Morales pointed out the clarity of the municipal elections in Venezuela, which were categorized as free and transparent by Venezuelan electoral authorities, on Monday, compared to the electoral fraud in Honduras in favor of incumbent Juan Orlando Hernández.

“In anti-imperialist countries, they have the election results in less than 24 hours, as yesterday in Venezuela. In countries under imperial rule, as in Honduras, two weeks pass, there are no results, and the people keep hoping that the vote won’t be kept secret from them,” wrote Morales on his Twitter account.

The United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) swept the municipal elections on Sunday, whereas in Honduras, there are indications of electoral fraud and abuse of power in the presidential elections of November 26.

“The fraud in Honduras, with the complicity of the Secretary-General of the OAS and its electoral mission chief and heir of the dictatorship, is the most evident proof that the empire has no use for sovereign peoples, but submissive governments,” added the Bolivian president.

In recent days, Honduran presidential candidate Salvador Nasralla called upon the international community to create a special tribunal to solve the grave political crisis Honduras has gone through following the elections in which he faced off against Hernández.

“In Honduras, once again, @Almagro_OEA2015 has paid tribute to the objectives the US is pursuing in Latin America: preserving its military hegemony, and holding our democracies hostage,” remarked Morales in another tweet.

Translation mine.

Yeah, that’s right, people. Venezuela is the democracy, and Honduras has, ever since the coup of ’09, been a dictatorship. Oh sure, they have “elections” there. With a farcical outcome that’s only to the advantage of one side, and it’s not that of the common Honduran people.

Even sadder, they need foreign leaders like Evo to tell it like it really is. And Evo, as you’ll recall, has experience in tossing out shitty US “diplomats” who couldn’t handle it when the results of a free, fair election turned out not to their own government’s liking.

Bet the Hondurans wish they had an Evo of their own right now.

Donnie’s gross moves…confirmed again!

Posted on December 11, 2017 by Sabina Becker

Former FUX Snooze anchor Juliet Huddy says that Donnie tried to put the moves on her early on in his marriage to Melania. And yes, he was true to form, too:

But of course, he’s now denying that that conversation even happened, even though it’s on the record and Billy Bush has come forward to confirm (and apologize for) it, and everything.

Interestingly, Huddy’s experience falls around the same time period that Donnie made his totally-not-a-confession to Billy Bush, as well as the early days of his spousal relationship with Melania. Seems he “moved like a bitch” on an awful lot of women who wanted nothing to do with him…”star” or not.
