John Kasich goes full Democrat, tells Christians to ‘get over it’ on religious liberty

comicallyincorrect.com
Joe Newby   "For the second time, the George Soros*-funded John Kasich told Christians to “get over it” on religious liberty laws and laws that require people to use the bathroom designated for the gender with which they were born.
“What I’d like to say is, just relax,” he said during an appearance at CNN. “If you don’t like what somebody’s doing, pray for them, and if you feel as though somebody is doing something wrong against you, can you just for a second get over it? You know?”
“ 'You know?”  Is that how our potential presidents respond to issues now?  . . . 
"It’s not the first time he’s told Christians concerned about religious freedom to take a hike.  And chances are it’s not going to be the last."

Riding the rails

This report on Breitbart also claims Kasich has Soros help. I can visualize Soros wanting to keep Kasich in the race if he sees Trump being the weakest candidate against Hillary.
" . . .In addition, Soros has been financially linked to the National Immigration Forum—the group behind the “Evangelical Immigration Table (EIT). As Breitbart reported in 2013, the Evangelical Immigration Table “is actually a front group for players on the institutional left including billionaire George Soros… EIT is running a $250,000 advertising campaign in favor of the Senate’s “Gang of Eight” immigration bill.' ” . . .
*Politifact claims, No, George Soros is not bankrolling John Kasich's campaign Contrary to what the above article states, Politifact says Kasich is not funded by George Soros.
Perhaps the rumor started from the following:
This quote is from FactCheck.org: Stanley Druckenmiller, a former hedge fund manager who was the chief strategist of Soros Fund Management from 1988 until 2000, has given $450,000 to the super PAC, including two $150,000 donations in February. The PAC has also received $200,000 from Scott Bessent, who was the chief investment officer of the same Soros company from 2011 until 2015, when he left to start his own hedge fund firm, in part, with a $2 billion investment from Soros. Combined, the two men account for 6.5 percent of the PAC’s funding.
Druckenmiller has long funded Republican candidates and committees while occasionally donating to Democrats, according to his contribution records. In 2015, he contributed to super PACs supporting New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, both of whom dropped out of the race for the Republican nomination. In February, Bloomberg reported that Druckenmiller confirmed that he would support Kasich, who he said “has been my favorite all along.”
Bessent, on the other hand, has more evenly divided his contributions between Republicans and Democrats, according to federal records. 

What has Soros funded? Here is one thing:
According to OpenSecrets.org, which tracks campaign contributions, Soros has given $7 million this cycle to Priorities USA Action, a super PAC that supports Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. He also gave $25,000 to the pro-ClintonReady PAC, and $1 million to American Bridge 21st Century, which funds opposition research against Republican candidates and causes.

And then, of course, there is Kasich

"The longer Kasich stays in the race, the greater likelihood of a Trump nomination."


What Does John Kasich Think He’s Doing?  . . . "To win on a subsequent ballot, when the nomination is up for grabs, Kasich would have to do something over the next two months that he seems constitutionally incapable of doing: show the slightest bit of selflessness and concern for the cause and the country and put those feelings ahead of his own narcissism, vanity, condescension, and sneering disdain for the party he seeks to lead." . . .
. . .
"Nor does Kasich split the anti-Trump vote passively. His campaign and associated Super PACs assist the real estate developer by spending time and money criticizing Cruz. Indeed it’s become hard to distinguish Trump attacks from Kasich attacks. One Kasich-aligned Super PAC called Cruz “Lyin’ Ted” — a Trump coinage. Another hit Cruz for his jab at “New York values.” Next they’ll be saying nasty things about Heidi." . . .


John Kasich Runs into the PC Police  "Last Friday, John Kasich stepped on a politically correct land mine when he advised a female college student to reduce the threat of sexual assault by avoiding parties “where there’s a lot of alcohol.” 

"At a town-hall meeting in Watertown, N.Y., a first-year student at a local college asked, “What are you going to do in office as president to help me feel safer and more secure regarding sexual violence, harassment, and rape?” Kasich didn’t reply that her concerns might be best handled at a level of government short of the Oval Office. Instead, he detailed how as governor he had helped make Ohio campuses safer by supporting confidential reporting of crimes and programs to support victims. But then he added: “I’ll also give you one bit of advice: Don’t go to parties where there’s a lot of alcohol, okay? Don’t do that.” The audience applauded. But  . . ."

. . . Helmberger said people like Springsteen should worry more about people in the restrooms to which the transgendered community wants admittance.
“It goes to something that is a fundamental, basic right and expectation, the right and expectation of privacy,” Helmberger said, “in intimate facilities like restrooms and locker rooms especially when you are talking about men invading the privacy of women and young girls.”. . .

. . . "Springsteen was referring to a bill backed by Republicans in the Michigan legislature that would prohibit schools from allowing children to share a bathroom or locker room with their classmates of the opposite sex.
“ 'Under the bill proposal, students who do not identify with their birth gender would be accommodated if the student has written consent from a parent or guardian,” Michigan State senator Tom Casperson wrote. “The proposed legislation would not permit these students to use restrooms or locker rooms of the opposite sex if those facilities are in use or could be in use. Instead, the student would be able to use a single-occupancy restroom, staff facility or some other reasonable accommodation.”
"The bill’s backers are responding to the Michigan state Department of Education’s, “Safe and Supportive Learning Environments for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning (LGBTQ) Students,” guidelines which Casperson says would create “numerous problems, from the elimination of parental authority and notification to threatening student safety and beyond.”  . . .

HERE ARE SOME UPCOMING STATES BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN WILL BOYCOTT   "Talented apolitical musician Bruce Springsteen, who in no way peaked 40 years ago, made headlines by announcing that he would boycott North Carolina because it won't let men use the Ladies Room. But here is a special exciting sneak preview of upcoming dates and states that Springsteen will also be boycotting.
  • "May 2016 - Bruce Springsteen announces a boycott of Wyoming for not offering gluten-free bread
  • "June 2016 - Springsteen boycotts the entire state of New Mexico for cultural appropriation
  • "July 2016 - A Springsteen boycott of Texas for not switching to electric cars goes mostly unnoticed outside Austin
  • "August 2016 - It's not clear why Bruce Springsteen is boycotting Idaho. His attempts to clarify with indistinguishable mumbling don't actually clarify anything leading to suspicions that he just wasn't invited.
  • "September 2016 - Springsteen's boycott of Alaska for having snow the "color of white supremacy" tests the allegiance of even his devoted Alaskan fans. All eight of them.
  • "November 2016 - Bruce Springsteen cancels an upcoming tour of Alabama because "he heard bad things about that place".
  • "December 2016 - Bruce Springsteen announces that the tour of China will go on as planned culminating in a spectacular performance for Communist Party leaders in Tiananmen Square."

All that remained of Jihadi John was 'a greasy spot on the ground' after he was killed in a drone strike, U.S. Colonel says

UK Daily Mail   Such a terrible loss for humanity

Col Warren said that Jihadi John was a 'nobody' in terms of rank within IS, but he became a 'terrorist celebrity'


"Jihadi John was killed in a drone strike so powerful that it left his remains like a 'greasy spot on the ground', according to US Colonel Steve Warren.

"Col Warren is the first military or intelligence chief to reveal details about the death last November of the Londoner, whom he described as a 'terrorist celebrity'.

"The executioner became one of the world's most wanted men after beheading Western hostages including Britons Alan Henning, 47, and David Haines, 44.

"He was killed near the famous clock tower in the main square of Raqqa, the city that has become the de facto capital of IS in Syria." . . .
. . . 

"The death of the terrorist was steeped in irony, given that it came in the same place where the group publicly beheaded its victims and crucified their remains.

"Col Warren said Jihadi John – real name Mohammed Emwazi – was killed close to midnight on a night in November. 

"He had been walking along the square in Raqqa while talking on a mobile phone, but as he moved towards a parked car, he was hit by a drone missile.

"Col Warren said: 'I watched the video when we killed Jihadi John. 

"'We found him when he was alone on the street, when he was talking on the cell phone. And when it was all over, he was a greasy spot on the ground.'

"Asked why it had taken so long to kill the 27-year-old, Col Warren added: 'We have to positively identify the location of these guys, so we want to make sure that we can take the strike with the minimal amount of civilian casualties. This has been the most precise air campaign in the history of warfare.' " . . .

Hillary Clinton Tells Black Radio Host That She Carries Hot Sauce In Her Purse

First, recall in his 1996 Essay;Blizzard of Lies, the late William Safire said of Hillary Clinton:
"Americans of all political persuasions are coming to the sad realization that our First Lady -- a woman of undoubted talents who was a role model for many in her generation -- is a congenital liar."
and:  . . . "She had good reasons to lie; she is in the longtime habit of lying; and she has never been called to account for lying herself or in suborning lying in her aides and friends."
Then there is what is called a pathological liar:
A pathological liar lies compulsively and impulsively, almost without thinking about [the] consequences of [her] actions. [She] lies regularly on a spontaneous basis even if [she] gains no benefit from it, or even if [she] traps [her]self into it. A pathological Liar cannot control [her impulse to lie and it is usually a self defeating trait. (Edits mine, TD)
 

Now after defining our terms and providing context, let's go to this story on Hillary:

"Trying to go as much Rachel Dolezal as she can. What other stereotypes can she hit?
Hillary Clinton told a black radio host that she always carries hot sauce with her.
During an interview with “The Breakfast Club” Monday morning, Angela Yee asked the Democratic candidate what she always has in her purse.
“Hot sauce,” Clinton answered. “Yeah.”
“Now listen, I want you to know that people are going to see this and say, ‘She’s pandering to black people,’” Charlamagne Tha God told Clinton.
“Okay,” Clinton said. “Is it working? No, but seriously. I’ve been eating a lot of hot sauce. Raw peppers and hot sauce. I think it keeps my immune system strong. Hot sauce is good for you.”
In Beyonce’s song “Formation” that she performed at the Super Bowl, she sings, “I got hot sauce in my bag, swag.”
 

A serious, thoughtful look at the Sanders-Clinton debate


"This week’s “Saturday Night Live” was hosted by “Seinfeld” star Julia Louis-Dreyfus.   . . . 
"Larry David, a “Seinfeld” producer, played [Sanders], while Kate McKinnon* played Hillary Clinton, and the two debated some before taking questions from the audience.
"One of the audience members was Louis-Dreyfus playing her “Seinfeld” character Elaine Benes.
"David as Sanders evaded the question asking how he would break up big banks by saying, “Once I’m elected president, I’ll have a nice scvhitz in the White House gym, I’ll sit them down and yadda yadda yadda, they’ll be broken up.”
“ 'Elaine” then asked “Sanders” if he thought the super rich should pay more in taxes, even those who were actors on very successful sitcoms." . . .

Trump May Soon Discover Independent Campaign Is His Only Option Left  "What’s up with all of this after-the-fact complaining we’ve heard from Donald Trump in the wake of his recent losses to Senator Cruz? Yesterday, Mr. Cruz romped in Wyoming. Mr. Trump charged that the Texan had bought the delegates. A week earlier after Mr. Cruz swept Colorado, a Trump lieutenant accused the Cruz campaign of “Gestapo tactics.' ”

HBO edits "Confirmation" to favor Anita Hill

"I'd rather see a documentary about sexual harassment and the American public mind in the 1990s, beginning with the you-just-don't-get-it scolding that was delivered over the high-tech-lynched body of Clarence Thomas followed by the it's-just-sex championing of the Democratic Party hero Bill Clinton. That was one hell of a transition."

Althouse  "Despite a surface appearance of fairness, “Confirmation” makes clear how it wants the hearings to be remembered: Ms. Hill told the whole truth and Mr. Thomas was thus a desperate, if compelling, liar. Her supporters were noble; his Republican backers were scheming character assassins.
"This is consistent with how the media conveyed the story at the time and, especially, in the years hence. Yet immediately after millions of people witnessed the hours of televised testimony, polls showed that Americans by a margin of more than 2 to 1 found Judge Thomas more believable than Ms. Hill. Viewers of “Confirmation” were deprived of several aspects of the story that might have made them, too, skeptical of Ms. Hill. The most-salient of many examples....
"Go to the link for the details.

"I haven't watched the show. I'd have to force myself. I remember the original quite clearly and don't feel any urge to watch actors endeavoring to seem like the real people or to worry about how HBO is trying to manipulate us in the direction I would assume they'd manipulate us. For me, there's no entertainment value and no educational value. I'd rather see a documentary about sexual harassment and the American public mind in the 1990s, beginning with the you-just-don't-get-it scolding that was delivered over the high-tech-lynched body of Clarence Thomas followed by the it's-just-sex championing of the Democratic Party hero Bill Clinton. That was one hell of a transition."
Emphasis added, TD

Comment to this post:   "I think that it was back in the day when the seriousness of the accusation was more important than the facts behind it. And, most importantly, before so many of Thomas' accusers running interference for President Clinton, who really did sexually assault women, up to, and including possibly, raping them, as well as committing workplace sexual misconduct. Thomas was tarred for what, at worse, if it had been true, would have been a bad sexual joke, and probably wouldn't have made the papers if it had happened after Lewinsi's(sp) Blue Dress. "

Hate Your GPS's Voice? Garmin Lets You Record Your Own
. . . "The free download (for PC only) lets users record their own voice directions and load them onto compatible Garmin nüvi devices (Here's the list; all but the nüvi 300 and 600 series are supported.) Garmin says the process of recording directions and loading onto a device takes roughly 30 minutes.
"Voice commands can be recorded for any of Garmin's standard instructions, such as "Enter Roundabout" and "Make a U-turn." Users can also share customized voices with each other, which I bet would make for some great pranks -- "Turn left! No, wait, turn right! Actually, you'd better just turn around. I'm lost. Sigh.' " . . .
How GPS voice-over recording works.   "Bob Dylan, one-time voice of a generation, is allegedly mulling offers to become the voice of satellite navigational devices. The default for GPS audio is anonymous and generic, but celebrities like Dennis Hopper and Mr. T have recorded alternative tracks. How do such voice-overs—which contain a seemingly infinite number of specific directions—actually get recorded?" . . .

Veiled Betrayal: Respect Muslim Women, But Don't Sell Them Out.


"But some very brave westernized Muslim girls and women have also paid a high price for their decision to dress Western-style. They've been threatened with death, battered, imprisoned at home, rushed into forced marriages, escorted to and from school — and have been the victims of honor killings."
Phyllis Chesler   "The stewardesses of Air France are outraged and have just refused to don headscarves when they fly into Tehran, as the mullahs have demanded.


"Viva La France!

"The French stewardesses have more dignity, more sobriety, and more self-respect than many American and European women do, beginning with trendsetting celebrities, female diplomats and first ladies, who have all donned headscarves, (hijab), face masks, (niqab), or full burqas when visiting Muslim countries — and as carefree fashion statements.

"For example, Madonna, three Kardashian sisters, Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry and Nicole Richie have all recently posted photos of themselves in Islamic "drag," either on visits to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Morocco or just because it suited their fancy. They're posed wearing filmy, long scarves (Katy Perry), heavy black hijab (Kylie Kardashian, Rihanna), niqab or face masks (Madonna), heavy hijab plus abayas (Gomez) and almost full burqas (Kim and Khloe Kardashian).

"Such female celebrities may influence Western girls more than female Western political leaders can. They don't understand that they are "slumming"; they can remove their exotic Islamic garb and pose naked whenever they choose to do so. This isn't possible for Muslim girls and women who are forced to wear the Islamic veil (headscarf, face mask, or full head, face and body covering) and who risk death when they resist.

"Being forced to adopt a colonizing custom that subordinates women; being forced to "pretend" that one is a Muslim when that isn't the case; being made to feel shameful, shameless, if one is naked-faced, is an act of psychological warfare.


"Remember the sole female Navy sailor who was forced to don hijab on board while Iran held American sailors in captivity? It was an outrage, and reminiscent of how Barbary pirates once treated their captured Christian female slaves." . . .

Bill Nye, “The Science Guy,” OK with Jailing Climate Change Deniers

What? So now a transgender or even a man who dresses as a transgender and enters a girl’s bathroom is a “fight for civil rights.” Are you kidding me? This insanity needs to stop!
"States need to stop this insanity now! Businesses shouldn’t be subject to criminal penalties from forbidding transgenders or transsexuals into a woman’s washroom, shower or locker room. This isn’t about discrimination. This is about “local control”. The federal government shouldn’t be holding states “hostage” for such stupidity. What’s next bathrooms for pedophiles?"

To what was Bruce Springsteen referring when he said this?
"To my mind, it's an attempt by people who cannot stand the progress our country has made in recognizing the human rights of all of our citizens to overturn that progress," Springsteen said in a statement."
Answer: "The newly enacted law requires individuals to use bathrooms that correspond to the gender on their birth certificate, and has drawn fierce criticism for excluding legal protections from gay and transgender people." North Carolina has opposed this law.
