British Katie Hopkins on protestors...

192shares186 Facebook Twitter Google+

Katie Hopkins is a British columnist who says what she thinks. And what she thinks is usually right.

She said Trump would win months before the election. And, she heroically took on CNN, calling them the "Clinton News Network" while on air at CNN.

Watch:

Now, she has turned her attention on the protesters outside Trump Tower.

She wonders why they can't take a shower. Why they have "lame little placards." And why they need safe spaces to discuss things.

Watch (via Varney & Co.)

KT Hopkins: "I can't stand a protester on the best of days. They're always jolly unwashed. None of them can ever have a shower. I don't know why protesting correlates with not being able to use a bathroom. But it always does. They have these lame little placards. And on their placards, they just turn it round and put something different depending on what they're protesting about that week.

Whenever I go onto a university campus, I take boxes of tissues with me so I hand them out to dry their tears as I go. Because I'm even daring to walk on their campus. The fact that they need a safe space to discuss things. They want them to take down the Trump-Pence campaign logo because it offends their sensibilities? I mean � for goodness sakes � get over yourself! What kind of generations are we bringing up here that can't handle campaign posters?"

Good question!

What kind of generation is this that kind handle campaign posters?

Joe Biden statement...

Vice President Joe Biden says he's not worried about the incoming administration's readiness to take over the White House.

Biden told reporters after meeting with Vice President-elect Mike Pence on Wednesday that he's "confident on day one everything will be in good hands."

Addressing reports of infighting within President-elect Donald Trump's transition team, Biden said that "no administration's ready on day one. We weren't really on day one."

Oh, those leftists. What a bunch of jokesters. A real barrel of laughs.

Oh, those leftists. What a bunch of jokesters. A real barrel of laughs.

Like when a mom kicked her 7-year-old son out of the house because he voted for Trump in a mock election at school. The little boy was, as you can imagine, terrified � crying and trying to reason with his mother before being kicked out into the dark of night, suitcase in tow and forced to hold a sign stating he'd been kicked out because he voted for Trump. (See here, here, and here).

It didn't take long for the authorities to come knocking on Mom's door to investigate. Her defense? It was a "joke."

Really? A joke? I'm going to go out on a limb here and venture to guess that this mother's parenting leans toward the sick and twisted on a regular basis.

Also in the left-is-just-hysterical category we have Matt Harrigan, who was the CEO of a cyber security firm. Until yesterday. Good ole' Matt. Always making people laugh. His most recent antics included a series of facebook posts stating his wish to assassinate Donald Trump, identifying a sniper rifle as his weapon of choice. The Secret Service was notified and Matty boy shortly thereafter resigned from his Silicon Valley position, putting out a statement defending his murderous posts. In a nutshell: It was all a joke.

Oh, dear. I'm laughing so hard. Just slapping my knee, tears rolling down my face from these leftists. Why they are just so darned funny. I think Mommy and Matt should have their own show on comedy central.

Pretty soon the left won't need to take the fifth anymore when testifying. They can just use the joke defense.

Dear Americans...

you are very worried about the election of Donald Trump. But I want you think about this:

First they went for Yugoslavia, and you didn't worry: a country died

Then they went for Afghanistan and you didn't worry: 220,000 Afghans have died.

Then, they went for Iraq, and you didn't worry: 1 million Iraqis died.

Then they went for Libya, and you didn't worry: 30,000 to 50,000 people died. Did you worry when Qaddafi was murdered with a bayonet up his rectum? No. And someone even laughed.

Then they went for Ukraine, and you didn't worry: 10,000 people died and are dying.

Then they went for Syria, and you didn't worry: 250,000 people died

Then they went for Yemen: over 6,000 Yemenis have been killed and another 27,000 wounded. According to the UN, most of them are civilians. Ten million Yemenis don't have enough to eat, and 13 million have no access to clean water. Yemen is highly dependent on imported food, but a U.S.-Saudi blockade has choked off most imports. The war is ongoing.

Then there is Somalia , and you don't worry

Then there are the countries that reaped the fallout from the collapse of Libya. Weapons looted after the fall of Gaddafi fuel the wars in Mali, Niger, and the Central African Republic.

Now you are worried about yourselves, but there are only the dead and their survivors left for whom you didn't speak up for.

Give me one reason why anybody should worry about you, who seem to believe that only you count because you are Americans.

My very best wishes for your precious safety and comfort and may you continue to look in the mirror and see no one there. Trust me, a mirror does not lie.

Sincerely,

One who does not worry about you.

P.S. By the way the butcher bill I am here presenting is very conservative on the body count and does not include the wounded, the homeless, the refugees, or the cost of the wars to you, who continue to believe that before Trump the world was a nice and comfortable place�-for you.

Just realized America was wonderful until TRUMP

Just realized America was wonderful until TRUMP

Black men were never murdered by cops randomly.

Fascism was just discovered.

Muslims/Gays/Lesbians lived here with no discrimination.

No poverty/nor 50 million on food stamps

Highest childhood poverty never existed

2.4 million inprisoned never happened

Until that <snip> TRUMP and RUSSIA denied Herself the Presidency.

Now the focus must be to ignore the past and focus on TRUMP(and Russia) who all of a sudden caused all of this misery

Sounds like new BROCKING POINTS to me.

Dem Strategist Mocks Trump Supporter Beat Up By Mob: 'Oh My Goodness, Poor White People!'

dem-strategist

Symone Sanders is a Democratic Party strategist who was also a press secretary for Bernie Sanders. In the video below, she is asked about the Trump supporter who was beaten by an angry mob after being dragged from his car.

Her response was astonishing.

Mediaite reported:

Dem Strategist Mocks Trump Supporter Beat Up By Mob: 'Oh My Goodness, Poor White People!'

Trump supporter Carl Higbie retorted that there was violence on both sides, and that Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama hadn't bothered to denounce the violence at anti-Trump rallies. "I'm sorry, hate crimes and protesting are not the same things..." Sanders responded. "A hate crime is a crime that is committed against somebody because of their religion, because of what they look like, because of their sexual orientation. That's not the same thing as protesting."

"What do you say to the people who dragged a poor white guy out of a car and beat him?" asked Higbie.

"Oh my goodness, poor white people! Please!" she responded. "Oh my� stop. Stop, Carl."

One British journalist gets it...

One British journalist gets it, though.

This column by Brendan O'Neill of the Spectator UK is absolutely correct:

The sneering response to Trump's victory reveals exactly why he won

If you want to know why Trump won, just look at the response to his winning. The lofty contempt for 'low information' Americans. The barely concealed disgust for the rednecks and cretins of 'flyover' America who are apparently racist and misogynistic and homophobic. The haughty sneering at the vulgar, moneyed American political system and how it has allowed a wealthy candidate to poison the little people's mushy, malleable minds. The suggestion that American women, more than 40 per cent of whom are thought to have voted for Trump, suffer from internalised misogyny: that is, they don't know their own minds, the poor dears. The hysterical, borderline apocalyptic claims that the world is now infernally screwed because 'our candidate', the good, pure person, didn't get in.

This response to Trump's victory reveals why Trump was victorious. Because those who do politics these days � the political establishment, the media, the academy, the celeb set � are so contemptuous of ordinary people, so hateful of the herd, so convinced that the mass of society cannot be trusted to make political decisions, and now those ordinary people have given their response to such top-down sneering and prejudice.

Oh, the irony of observers denouncing Middle America as a seething hotbed of hatred even as they hatefully libel it a dumb and ugly mob.

A Democratic campaign organizer filed suit in federal court in Philadelphia on Wednesday, saying th

Democratic campaign staffer sues, says DNC didn't pay OT

by Jane M. Von Bergen � Updated: NOVEMBER 10, 2016 � 6:14 PM EST

A Democratic campaign organizer filed suit in federal court in Philadelphia on Wednesday, saying that she and others were forced to work 80 to 90 hours a week and were not paid overtime by the Pennsylvania Democratic Committee, and through it, the Democratic National Committee.
    "I don't want to harm the Democratic Party," Bethany Katz of Rosemont said Thursday. "I just want it to stand up for the principles it puts forth."

~Snip~

The lawsuit, which seeks class-action status on behalf of all DNC campaign organizers working within the last three years, said the committees erroneously classified her and other organizers as exempt employees, meaning they would not be eligible for overtime because their jobs were administrative or managerial.

Filed in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia, the lawsuit said that by not paying overtime, the party violated the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act and the Pennsylvania Minimum Wage Act...

  Some excerpts:

Democrats need to understand that, and they need to move past a complacency for which the Clintons bear considerable blame.

It's hard to overestimate the couple's stranglehold on the party � its think tanks, its operatives, its donors � for the last two decades. Most top Democrats had vested interests in the Clintons, and energy that went into supporting and defending them didn't go into fresh ideas and fresh faces, who were shut out as the party cleared the decks anew for Hillary in 2016.

In thrall to the Clintons, Democrats ignored the copious, glaring signs of an electorate hankering for something new and different and instead took a next-in-line approach that stopped working awhile back. Just ask Mitt Romney and John McCain and John Kerry and Al Gore and Bob Dole. They're the five major-party nominees before her who lost, and each was someone who, like her, was more due than dazzling.

... one Clinton-weary Democratic insider told me: "I'm obviously not happy and I hate to admit this, but a part of me feels liberated. If she'd won, we'd already be talking about Chelsea's first campaign. Now we can do what we really need to and start over."

Cracked Pot...

"A water bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on each end of a pole which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, and while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water at the end of the long walk from the stream to the master's house, the cracked pot arrived only half full.
For a full two years this went on daily, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water in his master's house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments, perfect to the end for which it was made. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of what it perceived to be a bitter failure, it spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, and I want to apologize to you. "Why?" asked the bearer. "What are you ashamed of?" "I have been able, for these past two years, to deliver only half my load because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your master's house. Because of my flaws, you have to do all of this work, and you don't get full value from your efforts," the pot said.
The water bearer felt sorry for the old cracked pot, and in his compassion he said, "As we return to the master's house, I want you to notice the beautiful flowers along the path." Indeed, as they went up the hill, the old cracked pot took notice of the sun warming the beautiful wild flowers on the side of the path, and this cheered it somewhat. But at the end of the trail, it still felt bad because it had leaked out half its load, and so again it apologized to the bearer for its failure.
The bearer said to the pot, "Did you notice that there were flowers only on your side of your path, but not on the other pot's side? That's because I have always known about your flaw, and I took advantage of it. I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back from the stream, you've watered them. For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate my master's table. Without you being just the way you are, he would not have this beauty to grace his house."
Moral: Each of us has our own unique flaws.  We're all cracked pots.  In this world, nothing goes to waste.  You may think like the cracked pot that you are inefficient or useless in certain areas of your life, but somehow these flaws can turn out to be a blessing in disguise."

Michael Moore...

Michael Moore disputed the notion that all the people who voted for President-elect Donald Trump are racist Friday, reiterating the fact that millions of them voted for President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012.

"They're not racist," Moore said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "They twice voted for a man whose middle name is Hussein. That's the America you live in."

Trump Won Because Democratic Party Failed Working People, Says Sanders

Trump Won Because Democratic Party Failed Working People, Says Sanders

<snip>

Adding his voice to the chorus of condemnation heaped on the Democratic Party in the wake of Donald Trump's election victory, Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday attributed the Republican win to the failure of the liberal elite to represent working people.

"It is an embarrassment, I think, to the entire of [the] Democratic Party that millions of white working-class people decided to vote for Mr. Trump, which suggests that the Democratic message of standing up for working people no longer holds much sway among workers in this country," the progressive senator and one-time presidential candidate told the Associated Press.

"You cannot be a party which on one hand says we're in favor of working people, we're in favor of the needs of young people but we don't quite have the courage to take on Wall Street and the billionaire class," he continued. "People do not believe that. You've got to decide which side you're on."

Methinks that "We, the People," have finally had enough of your deplorable slime Whether it was the fact that you are a pernicious and irredeemable liar, or whether it was tens of millions of betrayed American citizens who decided to go out for a stroll one night, who just happened to have ballots with them, who wanted to prevent you and your criminal cohorts from occupying the Oval Office and trading the USA's sovereignty for the silver of Judas, may I ask: "What difference, at this point, does it make?"
