Common Sense --- 2017

By Jim Quinn

Thomas Paine was born in 1737 in Britain. His first thirty seven years of life were pretty much a series of failures and disappointments. Business fiascos, firings, the death of his first wife and child, a failed second marriage, and bankruptcy plagued his early life. He then met Benjamin Franklin in 1774 and was convinced to emigrate to America, arriving in Philadelphia in November 1774. He thus became the Father of the American Revolution with the publication of Common Sense, pamphlets which crystallized opinion for colonial independence in 1776.

The first pamphlet was published in Philadelphia on January 10, 1776, and signed anonymously “by an Englishman.” It became an instantaneous sensation, swiftly disseminating 100,000 copies in three months among the two and a half million residents of the 13 colonies. Over 500,000 copies were sold during the course of the American Revolution. Paine published Common Sense after the battle of Lexington and Concord, making the argument the colonists should seek complete independence from Great Britain, rather than merely fighting against unfair levels of taxation. The pamphlets stirred the masses with a fighting spirit, instilling in them the backbone to resist a powerful empire.

"MAD DOG" MATTIS: ISIS 'couldn't last 2 minutes in a fight with our troops'

By Paul Sperry

Defense secretary nominee Gen. Jim "Mad Dog" Mattis believes ISIS is "al-Qaida on steroids" and must be defeated in head-to-head "battles of annihilation" that leave "no survivors" on the enemy side, according to a recent discussion he participated in with a conservative think tank.

The career Marine, who faces Senate questioning at a confirmation today, also asserts that the US military "can handle Iran" in a shooting war, but cautioned that the Navy needs more warships to challenge "China's bullying in the South China Sea."

PEACE PRIZE: U.S. Lands Troops in Norway for First Time Since World War II as Russia Tensions Grow

BUMMER: Clinton Global Graft Initiative Shuts Doors, Lays Off Staff

By Rachel Stoltzfoos

The Clinton Foundation announced it’s laying off 22 staffers on the Clinton Global Initiative, keeping with a plan to deal with the negative spotlight put on the organization during former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

The layoffs will take effect April 15, the Clinton Foundation said in a filing with the New York Department of Labor Thursday, citing the discontinuation of the Clinton Global Initiative. The move is part of a plan put in motion ahead of the presidential election in order to offset a storm of criticism regarding pay-to-play allegations during Clinton’s tenure as secretary of state.

VANISHING ACT: Europe, Now You See It, Now You Don't!

By Edward Cline

"Now you see it! Now you don't!" the Super Star Magician recites the magic words, "Allahu Akbar!" (in lieu of "Presto!").

The Islamic magician, sporting a magnificently bejeweled turban (in lieu of a top hat), and a handlebar moustache (not strictly halal) with lascivious grins, first gropes the prone near-nude form of Europa in its intimate parts to prove to the audience that it is a real person and not a mannequin. Then the lights dim, he waves his baton, and sweeps his cape with its blood red lining before the table, and snaps it once with a deft flick of the wrist. When he jerks the cape away, the table is empty. In fact, the table itself has even disappeared.

How did he do that? The audience applauds and wonders.

BREAKING/EXCLUSIVE: Leaked Top Secret Memo Indicts Trump on Most Serious Charge Yet

Unbelievable.


Legacy of Delusion

By Lawrence Sellin

In the end America went her own way as if the Obamas had never come.

That is a paraphrase of the last sentence, “In the end China went her own way as if the Americans had never come," of Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Barbara W. Tuchman's book "Sand Against the Wind -- Stilwell and the American Experience in China, 1911-45."

Like Tuchman’s description of the American experience in China, the policies of Obama failed largely because they “were not indigenous demands of the society and culture to which they were being offered.”

OBAMACARE: Will GOP Repeal and Replace It Simultaneously?

By William Teach

According to Paul Ryan, the answer is yes.

House Speaker Paul Ryan said Thursday Republicans plan to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care law at the same time they approve a GOP replacement plan.

“We want to do this at the same time, and in some cases in the same bill,” Ryan said during a town hall in Washington sponsored by CNN and moderated by Jake Tapper. “So we want to advance repealing this law with its replacement at the same time.”

HILARIOUS: Pencil-Neck, Anti-Gun Leftists Want to "Stop the Peaceful Transition of Power"

This story is really better suited as an SNL short than an actual news article. Oh, and I have a protip for these, errr, activists, below the fold.

#DisruptJ20 organizer Legba Carrefour said Thursday that #DisruptJ20 members were “not in favor of the peaceful transition of power.”

The left-wing protest organization, #DisruptJ20, met Thursday to announce its intentions and plans to obstruct the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump on January 20. The group’s website reads: “We call on all people of good conscience to join in disrupting the ceremonies. If Trump is to be inaugurated at all, let it happen behind closed doors, showing the true face of the security state Trump will preside over.”

WAR PORN: "Mad Dog" Mattis on Dealing with ISIS

I think... I think it... I think it... may have just moved. Paul Sperry reports:

Defense secretary nominee Gen. Jim “Mad Dog” Mattis believes ISIS is “al-Qaida on steroids” and must be defeated in head-to-head “battles of annihilation” that leave “no survivors” on the enemy side, according to a recent discussion he participated in with a conservative think tank...

...Mattis made the eye-opening remarks in a little-noticed interview with Stanford University’s Hoover Institution in Palo Alto, Calif., where he is a visiting fellow...

...Mattis doesn’t believe in “managing” the Islamic State threat or just running ISIS out of Middle Eastern towns, but pulverizing the Islamist enemy.

TRUMP OR THE STING? I'm putting half a million dollars on Lucky Dan to win, third race at Riverside Park

It's like a plot twist out of Game of Thrones, only this time it's the reality show occurring in Washington, D.C., as the alt-left goes kicking and screaming into this good night.

If this went down as reported, it's pretty damn brilliant.

President-elect Donald Trump, after growing suspicious that intelligence officials were leaking news about their classified briefings with him, says he conducted a sting operation to try to prove top spies were behind the leaks.

Trump revealed the extraordinary scheme to try to entrap the senior spies in a furious press conference where he suggested the intelligence community had been behind salacious and totally unproven allegations against him.

Historic California Sequoia Collapses From Climate Change or a Rainstorm, But Mostly a Rainstorm

By William Teach

Did you hear this one?

(SF Gate) The historic Pioneer Cabin Tree, a former “drive-through” giant sequoia in Calaveras Big Trees State Park in Calaveras County, was felled in California’s weekend storms.

The tree was hollowed out in the 1880s to allow tourists to pass through it, and even allowed cars, but more recently has hosted only hikers. It was part of the “Big Trees Trail” at the state park.

Jim Allday of Arnold is a volunteer at the park who was working there Sunday. He said the tree went down about 2 p.m. and “shattered” on impact.

So, of course, since all these storms are being blamed on ‘climate change’, we get this:

PEAK PC INSANITY: The American Indian Word for Woman Now Deemed "Offensive"

You may remember the term "squaw".

It's the Narragansett (American Indian) word for "woman" dating back to at least the 17th century. Algonquian dialects also employed the word.

But now, your PC betters have deemed the term Offensive.

Papa B alerts us to a game alert he received in the popular social word game Words With Friends:

NOT ENOUGH SPEECHES: White House Finally Addresses Record-Setting Democrat Losses During Obama Era

The White House has finally deigned to explain the Democrats' sweeping losses at all levels of government during the Obama years.

Oh, it's not their policies. The part-time economy, the rise of ISIS, the Obamacare debacle, the Syrian refugee crisis, no, none of that had anything to do with it.

It's the Democrats' failure to "make the argument".

LEVIN: Chicago hate crime a microcosm of ‘collapsing of civil society’ under President Community Organizer

By Chris Pandolfo

Thursday evening on "The Mark Levin Show," Conservative Review's editor in chief addressed the “absolute, horrific inhumanity” of the racist torture attack on a developmentally disabled man in Chicago, stating it is but the latest example of the "collapsing of the civil society" in Chicago and other communities under Democratic policies.

Obama Administration Poised to Unleash One Final Strike on Israel

By P. David Hornik

A week and a half ago President Obama gave the order for the U.S. to abstain on UN Security Council Resolution 2334, thereby—effectively—voting in favor and allowing the resolution to pass.

As I noted, the resolution goes beyond “moral equivalency” by obfuscating Palestinian terror and incitement while branding Jewish life beyond the 1949 Armistice Lines a “flagrant violation under international law” and a “major obstacle…to peace.”

But the administration wasn’t through with Israel.

VOXSPLODER EZRA KLEIN: Trump Adviser Makes Obamacare Harder to Repeal or Something

By William Teach

Excitable Ezra Klein does his best to Voxsplain a comment by Kellanne Conway, but, utterly whiffs while simultaneously admitting that Obama lied his mom jeans posterior off.

Trump’s “if you like your insurance, you can keep it” moment

One of Trump’s top advisers just made repealing Obamacare much, much harder.

Right there in the headline we see it: Obama lied. Let’s continue:
