F-35B Lightning II fighter jet crashes near Marine Corps Air Station Miramar

An F-35B Lightning II fighter jet crashed Friday at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar near San Diego, setting off a major emergency response. The pilot safely ejected  [aka "punched out"] from the aircraft and was later rescued.

The crash happened on July 31 and involved an F-35B Lightning II, according to 1st Lt. Blake Starbuck, a spokesperson for the air station.

Starbuck said the pilot was "en route to a medical facility" after ejecting from the jet. The base later announced that the pilot was in stable condition and was being evaluated and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Starbuck described the incident as a "mishap" and said additional details would be released as they become available.

Video from local television stations showed thick smoke rising from the crash site as firefighters and emergency crews rushed to respond.

The accident is the latest in a series of F-35 crashes. In March, a U.S. Air Force F-35A crashed in Nevada. The pilot ejected safely and suffered only minor injuries. In July 2025, another pilot escaped safely after an F-35 crashed near Naval Air Station Lemoore in central California.

The F-35 is widely considered the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world. The Pentagon operates three versions of the jet: the F-35A for the Air Force, the F-35B for the Marine Corps, and the F-35C for the Navy. The F-35B is unique because it can take off and land vertically, much like a helicopter.

Built by Lockheed Martin, the F-35 is also the most expensive weapons program in U.S. military history. According to a 2023 Government Accountability Office report, the Pentagon is expected to spend about $1.7 trillion on nearly 2,500 F-35 aircraft over the life of the program. The project has faced years of maintenance problems, delays, and rising costs.

Concerns over the program's price tag have been raised for years, including by President Donald Trump. Before taking office for his first term, Trump called the F-35 program "out of control" and promised to reduce its costs. Despite those concerns, the program's overall price has continued to increase.

Lockheed Martin's press office did not immediately respond Friday to a request for comment.

Planned Parenthood of Calif. lost $300 million after being defundedc

Alright, let’s get real about what’s happening in California. The state’s Planned Parenthood affiliates, the biggest baby-killing operation in the Golden State, just got hit with a $300 million gut punch. 

A new federal law, signed by President Donald Trump, called the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act," because of course it is, yanked Medicaid reimbursements from any nonprofit health clinic that slaughters babies and rakes in over $800,000 a year from Uncle Sam. That means California’s 114 Planned Parenthood clinics are now cut off from the federal gravy train. 

Now, some liberal judge in Massachusetts, Judge Talwani, threw a tantrum and issued a preliminary injunction to partially block the law, letting a handful of Planned Parenthood's nearly 600 abortion mills across the country keep their taxpayer cash, for now. But here’s the kicker: none of California’s clinics made the cut for that exemption. Tough luck, Jodi Hicks, the president and chief executive of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, who’s whining that "the harsh reality is, the Planned Parenthood defund will be felt in every corner of the state." 

Cry me a river, Jodi. Maybe stop prioritizing the slaughter of the unborn over actual health care, and you wouldn’t be in this mess.

Let’s be clear, Planned Parenthood could keep the taxpayer funds if they just stopped killing babies. But no, they’d rather cling to their abortion altar than provide legitimate health services. Their own annual report brags about terminating over 400,000 babies in 2023 and 2024 while pocketing nearly $800 million from taxpayers. The Hyde Amendment supposedly stops federal funds from directly paying for abortions, but Planned Parenthood’s $700 million in Medicaid reimbursements and Title X grants conveniently frees up their budget to keep the abortion machine humming. Pro-life leaders have been saying this for years, and now someone’s finally doing something about it.

The national Planned Parenthood crew is crossing their fingers for some future court ruling to restore their funding, dreaming that California’s clinics might get back on the federal dole. Meanwhile, the Department of Health and Human Services is fighting back with an appeal, so this legal cage match is far from over. Hicks won’t say which locations might close, but pro-life folks are praying those abortion factories shut down for good.

This is what happens when you build an empire on the backs of the unborn. You can’t keep pretending it’s “health care” while the body count piles up. California’s Planned Parenthood is learning that the hard way, and I’m not shedding a single tear.

Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence Member Arrested "Auditioning the Finger Puppets" in Public, if you know what I mean

Clinton Monroe-Ellis-Gilmore, 53, and whatever other names he has, is an active member of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, a group of mostly gay guys who openly mock Catholics and dress like whore-clowns.

Well Clinton, [let's call him CMEG] was arrested in California last month for indecent exposure for "going into manual override" in public for an hour, according to a sheriff's office report.

The arrest went down at a beachside park after cops received a report of a guy “exposing himself in the driver’s seat of a parked vehicle,” the Humboldt County Sheriff’s department said.

The sheriff's report indicates that the incident took place on August 12, at around 6:41 p.m.

“According to numerous witnesses, Ellis-Gilmore had been at that location for approximately one hour, sitting in his truck with the door open, masturbating. The conduct does not appear to have been directed at anyone in particular.”

The arrest took place at Table Bluff County Park in Loleta, California. The park is listed as "good for kids," and for "kid friendly hikes." By California standards, parks that contain only one person engaged in "double-clicking," so to speak, is kid friendly. It's when people wearing MAGA hats tend to hang out in parks that they are deemed unsafe.

The conservative media outlet Daily Wire obtained a mugshot of CMEG's booking and it appears that at the time of arrest, he was shirtless. The outlet requested a comment from the Eureka Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence but they did not respond, so Brain Flushings isn't even going to try.

The group made headlines earlier this year after the Los Angeles Dodgers decided to honor them at a “Pride” event. The ass-clowns showed up at the event dressed as nuns and the members used sexually suggestive sobriquets which delighted the mainstream media. In fact, the media defended them from their critics who referred to them as a  perverted hate group and the media then celebrated the cretins for its “dedication to community service.”

CMEG’s initial arrest was only reported by a local Humboldt County website, The Lost Coast Populist, which located many of his old social media posts and first linked Ellis-Gilmore to the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence.

Randy Fleek, a witness who spoke with the arresting deputies, told The Daily Wire that Ellis-Gilmore made no attempt to hide the fact that he was polishing the bannister in public. He said that Ellis-Gilmore parked two spots away from his trailer and had his left leg out the open door of the truck and right leg up on the dashboard with no pants on, which gave him full side view of Ellis-Gilmore “playing with himself.”

“Well this is f***ed up,” Fleek said of what he saw. “It’s obvious. You cannot help but see this guy, he’s not hiding it. He wants everyone to see what he’s doing.”

He added that cars came and went throughout the hour, including some with young women. He also said that Ellis-Gilmore had his shirt on at the beginning but was naked by the end. He said he was happy when the sheriff deputies arrived, possibly because it involved touching him, and took him out of the truck, and got him dressed.

“There’s something wrong with that man. He’s got a weird f***ing desire to show off to the public, to anybody that wants to look at him,” Fleek said. “He puts himself in a position and in a spot that you can’t help but look at the son of a b**h.”

He described the location as “popular” and one where a lot of vehicles come through to look at the ocean which he said made what he witnessed more disturbing. “People pull in to see the ocean, they don’t pull in to see this. But you can’t help but see,” he said of Ellis-Gilmore’s alleged burping the baby.

Pictures on social media place CMEG at numerous events with his husband, Bill Gilmore, who goes by “Saint Gives More” — “Sainthood” in the group is bestowed on only the most dedicated community members.

Bowling alley shooting leaves 3 dead, 4 injured

Torrance, California (AP) -- A shooting at a bowling alley in southern California has left three men dead at the scene and four injured, late Friday according to police who responded shortly after midnight.

Police in Torrance tweeted early Saturday about "reports of shots fired" at the Gable House Bowl. The shooting was apparently from an argument that happened at the bowling lanes.

The tweet said:

"T P D is on scene. Investigation is ongoing. Please stay away from the area."

All three men who were killed, died at the scene. Two of the injured were transported to a local hospital with unspecified injuries, while two other wounded people sought medical attention on their own, Sgt. Ronald Harris stated.

The victims or suspects have not yet been identified nor has what led to the shooting been made public, if it is known. Witnesses said, however, that it stemmed from a fight between two large groups.

Gable House is described on its website as a gaming venue that offers bowling, laser tag and a full arcade. It also has a karaoke bar.

Mr. Dwayne Edwards, 60, of Los Angeles, received a call from his nephew, he said, informing him that his son Astin Edwards, 28, was one of the victims who was killed. His nephew told him that Astin tried to break up a fight when a gunman "just started unloading."

One grieving mother told KABC-7 that her son, Robert Meekins, 28, was also killed at the scene. He was a friend of Astin Edwards, she said, and she believes he also tried to help in breaking up the fight.

This is a developing story.

Well here we are in the beginning of a new year and the world still hasn't come to an end with President Trump in the White House, in spite of what the media and the left [but I repeat myself] would have you believe.

I hope that you will follow Brain Flushings throughout the year and feel free to comment on any issues of concern. Please subscribe and check out the sponsors on these pages too.

7 Illegal Aliens Arrested for Helping Illegal Alien Cop-Killer

California law enforcement agents arrested seven more suspects -- all of whom are illegal aliens -- connected to Gustavo Perez Arriaga, the alleged cop-killer, for helping him evade capture.

"Police say, in all, seven people are in custody, accused of assisting the suspect in evading police, including two of Arriaga's brothers and his girlfriend," ABC News reported on Saturday night, according to NewsBusters. "Authorities telling ABC News, all of them -- as well as Arriaga -- in the U.S. illegally."

Authorities arrested Bernabe Madrigal Castaneda, Adrian Virgen, Erik Quiroz,  Villegas, Maria Luisa Moreno, Ana Leyde Cervantes, and Conrado Virgen Mendoza.

Fox News reported late last week that authorities confirmed that Perez Arriaga, 33, was affiliated with the Surenos gang, a violent Mexican-American street gang that engages in "a number of crimes, including murder, extortion, narcotics trafficking, prostitution, human smuggling and robbery."

Democrats don't care if they remain in the U.S. as long as they vote Democratic.

"Illegal immigration doesn't serve our communities, especially criminals who victimize and exploit our communities," Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson said on Fox News last week. "Whether you hate the president or love the president, border security goes hand-in-hand with national security, the safety of our communities, and public safety. We need to know who is in our communities that shouldn't be. We should be focusing on criminal activity without political interference."

"We were prohibited — law enforcement was prohibited because of sanctuary laws and that led to the encounter with officer Singh," Christianson added at a news conference Friday. "The outcome could have been different if law enforcement wasn’t restricted, prohibited, or had their hands tied because of political interference."

President Trump kept in touch with the manhunt for the fat weasel late last week, tweeting:

"There is right now a full scale manhunt going on in California for an illegal immigrant accused of shooting and killing a police officer during a traffic stop. Time to get tough on Border Security. Build the Wall!"

Democrats are complaining that the GOP is "politicizing" the shooting. Gee, I'm surprised they didn't use the shooting to call for more gun control laws as is their wont.

Rest in peace, officer Ronil Singh.

Calif. Women's March canceled for being too white

Organizers of the Women's March in Humboldt County, California have canceled the January 19 event because the marchers do not have a sufficient amount of melanin, the pigment that gives color to the skin. They are saying, in effect, that the marchers are too white and therefore lack the intersectional attributes that make them relevant.

In a Facebook post, the group said it decided to cancel the third annual march “after many conversations between local social-change organizations [aka: socialists] and supporters of the march,” saying they would work on how to “broaden representation in the organizing committee.”

I suggest they get black and brown illegal alien transgender Muslim midgets with physical disabilities to march for them. That should do the trick. They are so under-represented in our society.

“Up to this point, the participants have been overwhelmingly white, lacking representation from several perspectives in our community,” said the statement. “Instead of pushing forward with crucial voices absent, the organizing team will take time for more outreach.”

The Humboldt County group said it was still interested in holding an event in March on International Women’s Day. If interested you can apply here.

PROOF OF WHAT A SCAM THIS IS…Organizers cancel Women’s March Jan. 19 due to ‘overwhelmingly white’ participants https://t.co/jvcHrs68Oi— Lyrnn Carter (@lyrnncarter05) December 28, 2018

Some followers on Facebook said they were disappointed in the decision, particularly those followers who see the Women's March being about gender, not melanin or other status.

“I was saddened to hear that the March is off for 1/19,” said David Holper. a poetry slam guy. “Isn’t there still time to reach out to minority groups and make this event more inclusive? I’d be happy to help.”

Others pointed out that the Northern California community of about 137,000, located near the Oregon border, is predominantly white and there aren't enough transgender midgets there to fill a pay toilet.

Census Bureau data from July showed that the county was about 74 percent non-Hispanic white, 12 percent Hispanic, 6 percent Native American, 2 percent Asian, and 1 percent black. And possibly 1/137,000 transgender of both delusions.

“I was appalled to be honest,” said Amy Sawyer Long. “I understand wanting a diverse group. However, we live in a predominantly white area … not to mention how is it beneficial to cancel? No matter the race people still want their voices heard.”

Amy apparently doesn't get it. The Women's March is no longer about women. That's the past and the current pretense. It .   's about socialist agendas with an Islamic, anti-Semitic flavor, a là Linda Sarsour, Carmen Perez, Tamika Mallory and Bob Bland.

The national Women’s March is scheduled to hold Jan. 19 its #WomensWave rally in D.C., while some state and local sister organizations are also holding marches.

Also organizing events that day are other women’s groups such as March On and the Women’s March Alliance, which have formed as alternatives to the Women’s March over those aforementioned anti-Semitism concerns. The four  national co-chairs [mentioned above] of the Women’s March have denied allegations of anti-Semitism, in spite of public evidence to the contrary.

Gov. Moonbeam Brown denies clemency to San Francisco Mayor's plea for her brother

California Governor "Moonbeam" Brown traditionally celebrates major holidays by granting clemency to miscreants doing time. He has granted 143 pardons and 131 commutations on Christmas Eve. But he didn't show leniency to Napoleon Brown, the older brother of San Francisco Mayor London Breed. In spite of London's request, Napoleon is still in the slammer.

Breed said last week that people who break the law should face consequences, but also have a chance at redemption, especially if they're related to people in high government positions.

“Too many people, particularly young black men like my brother was when he was convicted, are not given an opportunity to become contributing members of society after they have served time in prison,” she said.

Brown, who struggled with drugs from a young age, recently was caught with heroin in prison and had two years added to his sentence, KNTV reported.

Breed, 44, who was a defense witness for her brother at his trial, has spoken out about her rough upbringing in San Francisco public housing. But having a rough upbringing does not excuse criminal behavior.

Brown, who is now 46 and no relation to Gov. Brown, pushed Lenties White from a getaway car on the Golden Gate Bridge after an armed robbery in June 2000. White, 25, was struck by a vehicle and died. Why Brown pushed White is unclear, but Sandra McNeil, White's mother, said Brown doesn't deserve early release and would rather he rot away in prison for what he had done to her son.

The dude still has two dimes to go and Moonbeam wants him to go the whole nine yards.

“I don’t think it would be justice,” McNeil said. “She’s the mayor, so she’s got a little power, so she thinks she can get her brother out.”

Among those who were granted Christmas Eve pardons by Brown are five refugees from Cambodia and an immigrant from Honduras -- all of whom are facing the possibility of deportation because of criminal convictions -- two people who lost their homes in a recent wildfire and a former state official. Brown's commutations included several former gang members who have renounced their former ties and will now have an opportunity to petition the parole board for early release.

Moonbeam has already granted 283 commutations and 1,332 pardons since returning to office in 2011, far more than any California governor since at least the 1940s. This is due to his extremely far-left philosophy that believes prisons only make for better criminals so it's better to let them wander the streets.

Fortunately, the governor needs approval from the state Supreme Court to pardon or commute the sentence of anyone twice convicted of a felony. If it was up to Brown, nobody would do time and there would be no borders, no flag, no country. Kumbayah.

The court in recent weeks has rejected seven clemency requests by the idiot governor, including one Monday.

California Hypocrisy Alert: electric scooters dumped in lake, fish die

Oakland, California -- Woke tofu-eating vegans have some 'splainin' to do.

Environmentally friendly electric scooters are not so environmentally friendly when they are dumped in lakes. That is about as funny, ironic and hypocritical as it gets.

As they become less desirable the cheap mode of transportation that was designed for those who want a "green" earth, have been the source of "yucky" earth, or should I say 'lakes.' Now we're talking real pollution, baby.

This past October, cleanup crews at Oakland's Lake Merritt fished out 60 environmentally friendly, once upon a time, according to James Robinson, the Executive Director of Lake Merritt Institute, as reported by Fox News.

"We've been having a fair amount of the e-scooters come into the lake or thrown into the lake rather," he told KTVU. "These can be very damaging to our marine environment because they're not natural things that go into the lake.”

Fish cannot ride electric scooters and gas scooters are a joke.

Robinson is concerned that the damage is coming from the batteries in scooters, operated by both Lime and Bird scooter companies.

Chariots of dorks

Robinson took photos and the scooters appear to be from those two companies. He reported the situation to Lime and Bird but only Lime has sent employees to remove them.

With a company named 'Bird' you can imagine what Robinson wanted to flip at them.

So tell us how to live, residents of California. Tell us how important saving the environment is to all of you fine vegans and yoga mat shleppers. 

But it isn't only Californians who are liberal hypocrites. In Portland, activists created a blog called "Scooters in the River PDX" that documents how many e-scooters are dumped into the Willamette River-- 17 as of this writing.

Freaking hypocrites!

If you ride an electric scooter and you don't pollute lakes and you aren't a hypocrite, then you are not a dork.

California Imam goes on TV saying it's time to annihilate Americans

“The process of settlement is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process’ with all the word means. The Ikhwan [Muslim Brotherhood] must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions.” Explanatory Memorandum from Muslim Brotherhood in America

Muslims living in America are no longer shy about their disdain for the country in which they live. Of course, I don't mean all Muslims--one never does--but a significant number are expressing their immediate plans for our destruction from within.

After eight years with Barack Hussein Obama, the extremist Muslims are used to getting away with such hatred. Obama even supported Egypt's Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood--he even had them as White House visitors.

But with President Trump in charge, things have not gone in their favor.

Their violent intentions have finally come out of the closet after an Islamic leader, Imam Ammar Shahin, in northern California went on TV to call all Muslims out of hiding to begin a total annihilation of certain Americans that Muslims hate even more than other Americans--Jews.

As it turns out, it proved to be a bad move for that murderous Imam after the left wing media refused to allow his story to be adequately covered because it would put the religion of peace in a bad, but honest light.

Yes, liberals still believe Islam is a religion of peace. Islam is as much a religion of peace as Stormy Daniels is a woman of chastity.

But liberal politicians still make this claim about Islam in spite of the Imam's own words, which came around the same time as a Somali Muslim claimed he could kill anyone he wants.

This proved to be a bad move for the murderous Imam despite the mainstream media refusing to cover this story adequately after it happened. Liberal politicians are still claiming that Islam is a religion of peace regardless of this Imam’s own horrific words which happened in nearly the same time frame as a Somali Muslim saying he could kill anyone he wants.

Jewish groups have requested Homeland Security and the U.S. Attorney's Office investigate Shahin after he gave a TV sermon calling on Allah to "annihilate" Jews "down to the very last one." He asked his congregants to take part in the slaughter.

He spouted his anti-Semitic hatred at the Islamic Center of Davis, California on Friday. Shahin asked Allah to liberate the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Israel from "the filth of the Jews," according to the Middle East Media Research Institute's translation, and cited Islamic scripture calling for a Judgment Day war between Muslims and Jews.

"O Allah, count them one by one and annihilate them down to the very last one. Do not spare any of them," the scumbag said in both Arabic and English on his televised sermon. "O Allah, make this happen by our hands. Let us play a part in this. O Allah, let us support them in words and in deeds."

Any questions, liberals?

Shahin got a bachelor’s degree in Islamic studies from Egypt then came to America in 1999 where he got a computer engineering degree.

The Islamic Center of Davis  records their sermons, no longer hiding what liberals refuse to see and showing us that Islam is a death cult and not a “religion of peace.”

The call for the elimination of Jews starts with those in America but extends into other areas where Jewish people are most prevalent around the world. Shahin preached what he said was the teaching of the Prophet Muhammad who said that it’s the responsibility of all Muslims to deal death to the Jewish people.

He is telling the truth. But thankfully, not all Muslims follow this thinking, although it seems that many Muslims are anti-Semitic. But then again, the left is becoming increasingly the same.

Perhaps that's why he's still on TV preaching his bile.

The Imam’s televised hate-filled sermon came on the same day that violent riots broke out in Jerusalem over Israeli officials putting metal detectors around the Al-Aqsa Mosque, an Islamic holy site in Jerusalem. This was out of concern for Jews’ safety, for obvious reasons since they are perpetually targeted by Muslims trying to honor Allah by killing them. The riots resulted in a terrorist attack at this specific location which killed six people. As a result, Shahin prayed specifically for Allah to eliminate the Jews around the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Then Shahin spoke on behalf of Islam:

“Allah does not change the situation of people ‘until they change their own situation.’ The Prophet Muhammad said: ‘Judgment Day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Jews hide behind stones and trees, and the stones and the trees say: Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah…’ They will not say: Oh Egyptian, oh Palestinian, oh Jordanian, ohSyrian, oh Afghan, oh Pakistani. The Prophet Muhammad says that the time will come, the Last Hour will not take place until the Muslims fight the Jews.”

Where is the peace in such scripture?

Why is Shahin still living in the United States? The First Amendment does not cover speech that incites violence.

He needs to go.

California bar shooting: 13 dead including gunman

Thousand Oaks, California -- A bearded gunman clad in black entered the Borderline Bar and Grill and without saying a word, threw a smoke grenade and began shooting at a crowd of college students who were celebrating "country night" on Wednesday.

Sheriff's Sgt. Ron Helus, was the first law enforcement officer on the scene. Without hesitation, he rushed into the bar to save lives and was struck several times by gunfire. A 29-year veteran and close to retirement, Sgt. Helus later died in hospital.

Hundreds of people from California Lutheran University, a private Christian school, Pepperdine University and California State University Channel Islands were inside the establishment for the country music when the shooting began at about 11:20 p.m., Ventura County police reported.

Within minutes, deputies and highway patrolmen arrived at the bar after receiving multiple 911 calls. They began assessing the horrific, grim situation, Sheriff Geoff Dean said during a Thursday morning press conference.

“It is a horrific scene in there. There is blood everywhere,” Dean said.

It was not immediately clear if the gunman, who the Associated Press reported to be 29 years old, was shot and killed by police or if he died from a self-inflicted wound.

His name has been revealed [which will not be revealed here] and he had been in the U.S. Marine Corps and had been deployed to Afghanistan, it was learned.

"We all just kind of froze for a split second," said witness Teylor Whittler, "and then everyone booked it and dove to the floor. After the first round it was quiet for about five seconds, and then some guys who were next to me on the floor got up and started sprinting toward the back door and yelled at everyone, 'Get up! He's coming!'"

Whittler described the gunman as wearing all black clothing, a black baseball cap and ski mask-style item partially covering his face. Others offered a similar description and told the media that a tall gunman first shot at a bouncer working the bar's door and then began firing, apparently at random, at the crowd.

Police said at least 30 rounds were fired and the shooter was armed with a .45 caliber Glock. He used a smoke device to disorient and confuse his targets.

In addition to the college students, there were survivors of the 2017 Las Vegas massacre that also occurred during a country music festival.

CBS anchor defends Kavanaugh and apologetically resigns

Palm Springs, Calif. -- Kris Long, a news anchor who initially had the courage of his convictions resigned after writing a 400-word Facebook post in September defending Brett Kavanaugh from sexual allegations. [In case you're from a different galaxy, Kavanaugh was the nominee for the Supreme Court and has now been confirmed].

Long was off the air at CBS affiliate KESQ-TV since his Sept. 17th post appeared, according to the Desert Sun.

Long offered his resignation on Friday.

In spite of the guts it took to reveal what he believed to be true about the Kavanaugh debacle, he weaseled out in his written statement: "I want to thank those who have offered support and apologize again for any I may have offended. I hope to return to the news business in the future."

What a wuss. Apologize for offending people because he believed in what he wrote?

Jerry Upham, the general manager for the Gulf California Broadcast Company said they accepted his resignation and that he "has a following and we know he will be missed by many in the area."

Long wrote that "few things are more serious than rape" but the timing of Ford's claim "stinks of political maneuvering." [Christine Ford is Kavanaugh's accuser who crawled out from the woodwork at the eleventh hour in the confirmation hearing.] Ford offered absolutely no corroborating evidence of her claim and even her lifelong friend denied it.

Long aslo said the MeToo movement was long overdue but the allegation of the sexual misconduct against Kavanaugh amounted to "lesser miscreant behavior."

"You are beyond dreaming if you think 17-year-old boys are not going to misbehave from time to time as they begin to attempt relationships with the opposite sex," he wrote. "That is just the way we animals are made!"

Now I can see where he minimized what was alleged and it even sounds as if Long is believing the allegation without any proof, but we have reached a point in society where we are punished for our beliefs and it isn't a good thing.

Some of his audience supported him. Some called for his retirement. Others criticized the station for taking him off the air.

At first Long stood by his remarks but deleted his post the following day and issued an apology.

"I wish I hadn't written [the post] because it's caused me a lot of headache. This is a sensitive and controversial subject and I apologize [for having my own opinion which may differ from yours] for any offense that this has caused," he meekly wrote to the snowflakes who have nothing to do but be offended at something in order to keep their pulse going.

"Perhaps I may have broken our social media standards by putting my article a little bit too far to one side," he said the day after the posting, referring to the right side rather than the left.

The Society for Professional Journalists urges journalists to avoid activities that "may compromise integrity or impartiality, or may damage credibility."

CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, and the New York Times are exempt from those standards.

MSNBC racist Joy Reid sued by Trump supporter for defamation

MSNBC leftist host and alleged white folks hater Joy Reid is finally being sued. A California woman is suing Reid's angry butt for falsely accusing her on social media of screaming racial slurs at a 14-year-old boy because she is a Trump supporter.

Roslyn La Liberte, who wore a red "Make America Great Again" cap when the incident occurred, filed the lawsuit in Eastern District Court of New York on Tuesday, claiming that Reid "used her substantial social media presence, fame, and reputation as a hard-hitting journalist" to inform her Twitter followers that La Liberte "screamed abhorrent racial slurs" at a 14-year-old boy, Joseph Luevanos.

At a city council meeting at Simi Valley, Calif., a photo went viral last June when it seemed as if La Liberte was involved in a heated conversation with the boy in question.

According to La Liberte, Reid sent a bunch of tweets claiming the viral photo showed the Trump supporter screaming in the face of the boy and Reid then retweeted to her myriad followers that La Liberte "needs to be put on blast."

The suit claims Reid falsely tweeted that La Liberte showed up "to a rally" and "screamed" that Luevanos is "going to be the first deported," and called the child a "dirty Mexican" in the confrontation.

The suit states that Reid wasn't present at the event [the City Council meeting], not a political "rally," and that she "made up out of whole cloth the accusation that La Liberte screamed racial slurs."

To MSNBC, that's tough-fisted journalism, but to the rest of us, it's fake news.

Interestingly, the boy in the photo, Joseph Luevanos, told a local Fox affiliate that the conversation he and La Liberte had was civil and that La Liberte doesn't deserve to be harassed as a result of the viral photo.

The conversation was actually captured on video [see below] and does not coincide with Reid's claim that La Liberte yelled racial slurs or mistreated the boy in any way.

"A few days later and despite the fact that the young man previously and publicly denied Reid's account of events, Reid openly compared La Liberte's alleged conduct to racism during the Jim Crow era, stating, in part that "History sometimes repeats. And it is full of rage,'" the suit claims.

The lawsuit claims that Reid "made up" the allegation that La Liberte screamed racial slurs at the boy--resulting in an onslaught of hateful and threatening messages aimed at La Liberte.

"Reid's accusation that La Liberte screamed racial slurs at the boy in the photograph are false," the suit states. "Reid set out to destroy La Liberte because she disagrees with La Libete's MAGA hat and the beliefs Reid ascribes to those wearing that hat conflict with her ideology."

La Liberte is seeking at least $75,000 in damages. MSNBC is not named as a defendant in the suit.

"Reid has a demonstrable, extreme, and well-publicized bias against President Donald Trump, his supporters, and the Republican Party. Reid has been described as the 'heroine of the resistance to President Trump's leadership," the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit also states that Reid, like so many leftists, deleted the posts after being reached by Liberte's counsel. She has nothing to hide, eh?

"It appears I got this wrong. My apologies to Mrs. La Liberte and Joseph," the leftist Reid tweeted.

So how could she have possibly gotten it wrong?

She wasn't there and she did nothing to corroborate her words. She wanted it to be true, so part of her may have believed it without any evidence. That's how leftists/liberals/progressives/socialists think.

It felt true. It felt believable.

But even her feeble retraction was garbage. It was evasive and equivocal. She never said that "this" is and what she got "wrong." She even used the word 'appear' to avoid honesty to the truth.

At the start of this year, Reid had posted homophobic and other hateful posts on her blog before she became famous. She claimed [aka lied] that her blog was hacked and that she never wrote such things. But in April, she got all misty and snot-seeping on air admitting it seemed unlikely she was hacked, but claimed she didn't recall writing such hateful crap. But she apologized anyway.

Because she wrote the hateful crap and she knows it.

She's as convincing as Hillary Clinton saying that all women accusers are to be believed.

US attorney says MS-13 terrorized California farm town

Fresno, Calif. -- "The spark of divinity. The dignity and worth of every person." This is how Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) described MS-13 in her attack on President Trump. She was defending "undocumented immigrants" when she made that statement [see video below], and insinuated Trump was calling all of them "animals" when he was, in fact, speaking about MS-13.

Of course Trump was referring to MS-13 and Pelosi knew that.

And they aren't "undocumented immigrants." Immigration is a legal process. Calling them undocumented immigrants is like calling a drug dealer an unlicensed pharmacist, to use what has become a cliché. They are illegal aliens.

It's curious to know how the people in Mendota, a rural California farm town, thinks of the gang, MS-13.

More than two dozen MS-13 gang bangers and affiliates were charged after a months-long investigation into murder and drug trafficking in the rural California farm city, according to the U.S. attorney McGregor Scott in Sacramento.

Scott said via phone to Fox News that the investigation also helped solve several murders and assaults in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Houston and New York. Charges are expected to be announced today, Friday.

It was easy for the gang members to take advantage of the town since its police department was understaffed. The town has a population of 11,000 people and is about 35 miles west of Fresno in agriculturally rich Central Valley. Nearly all of the population is Hispanic with many from El Salvador.

MS-13, or La Mara Salvatrucha, was formed in Los Angeles in the 1980s by refugees from El Salvador. They are suspected of many slayings in the U.S. The gang has fought with rival Nortenos gang members and has also targeted its own members for violating rules having nothing to do with having a spark of divinity nor having to say "please" and "thank you."

Trump singled out the gang, in part because of the horrible violence they commit, and in part because he has armed security and isn't afraid to say what's on his mind. He blames weak border enforcement for their crimes, but many of the scumwafers were born in the U.S.A.

Two gang bangers were charged with murder in U.S. court and another four charged with assault in the Mendota investigation, Scott said.

An additional 16 people affiliated with MS-13 and having a spark of divinity are facing drug trafficking charges in U.S. court and additional charges have been filed in state court.

A legal wiretap as part of the probe linked MS-13 gang members to murders and assaults in the other four major cities, and others were charged there as well.

"The nationwide tentacles of this going out from this little town in Fresno County is dramatic," Scott said.

When asked for comment about the gang, Nancy "Dancing Hands" Pelosi said, "I under the stairs went to discount and the plaza my egg. Sorry."

Schwarzenegger uses private jet to dry his clothes: 'Saves energy'

Arnold Schwarzenegger is going green, he says. No longer will he galavant around in his private jet, a vehicle that burns more fossil fuel in one trip than gasoline-driven cars burn in a year, but will make use of the natural environment to keep the air fresh and clean.

Arnold will be hanging his clothes, and those of his current mistress, on the vertical stabilizer of his jet. He is also planning to use the engine of his Hummer to cook hot meals, something he became inspired to do after reading "Manifold Destiny" and realizing how we waste precious energy and pollute the environment.

Arnold used his private jet almost daily to fly from his home in Brentwood to the governor's mansion in Sacramento.

Schwarzenegger feels

like, "Hey, why use over 550 gallons of fuel per hour and not get your clothing dried at the same time?"

The muscle-laden former governor of California is going after modern energy use and says he wants to take oil companies to court "for knowingly killing people all over the world" through alleged "global warming" impacts. 

He is not referring to Third World countries that burn cow dung paddies to keep their huts and butts warm and can switch over to cleaner methods thanks to the oil and coal industries. 

He's referring to the global warming caused by people driving cars and not using their engine blocks to cook a decent meal, or hang their clothing out to dry, or waste fuel if they're not a governor or other entitled person.

Schwarzenegger drives several Hummers, as I've said, and they burn more fuel than the average family sedan. But Arnold has one of his Hummers converted to run on hydrogen and is having scientists look into the efficacy of harvesting cow farts.

"Did you know that air-drying your clothes for six months saves 700 pounds of carbon dioxide?" he asked in his Governor's Earth Day message in 2009. But the ex-governor still hasn't had the time to go out an buy a clothes line, so he still uses his jet aircraft to save carbon dioxide and plans to put it in a carbon dioxide bank.

In 2016, Arnold threatened climate skeptics on a video: "Some politicians even want to shut down the EPA's ability to regulate carbon. I would like to strap their mouths to the exhaust pipe of a truck, turn on the engine and let's see how long it would take them to tap out."

Sounds kind of Antifa-ish, if you ask me. Imagine the lip burns they would get before 'tapping out.'

So not only is the Terminator a hypocrite; he's also a sadistic hypocrite who believes in the saying: "Do as I say, not as I do."

Property board tears down church Nativity scene

Oceanside, Calif. -- Pastor Mike Openshaw of Lighthouse Christian Church said the president of the Ranch Maintenance Agreement Board took it upon himself to personally tear down the nativity scene in front of the church and he let it lay in heap behind the church building over property lines. 

This came after a series of contradicting messages from the board, according to NBC.

According to Openshaw, the board, which manages the land in front of the church, emailed him demanding the nativity scene be removed. They next called and apologized for the message. Then finally called to inform him the president was tearing the Nativity down.

Openshaw told NBC, "I raced up here and he was already gone, and I found the Nativity behind the monument in a jumble all disconnected and no one was here. He had come and gone quickly."

Church congregants held a demonstration in front of the church Sunday to protest the destruction of their Nativity scene, claiming that the property association violated their religious liberty.

Which, of course they did.

"This is Christmas time--to put up a Nativity is common. It's normal," Openshaw told NBC.

The problem began in October when church members set up the Nativity scene to cover up their church sign after a truck crashed into it. Openshaw filed an insurance claim, but the property association said the church had to repair the sign since it was on church property. The association has since reversed their claim, according to Openshaw, saying that the property actually belongs to the board.

Openshaw reached out to city officials and is waiting for them to officially identify the property line.

Merry Christmas ranch Maintenance Agreement Board. You apparently are disagreeable and you kind of suck.

Maxine Waters continues to suck at politics

Rep.ulsive Maxine Waters (Duh-Calif.) attacked Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson on Saturday, in an angry, hypocritical speech. The woman who lives in the most luxurious part of LA said that Dr. Carson "doesn't care about people in public housing."

She doesn't even live near anyone in public housing.

"[Carson] knows nothing about the mission of HUD," the woman who was called "one of the most corrupt members of Congress" said of him. 

"He doesn't care about people in public housing. He believes that if you are poor, it is your own fault. And he doesn't know the difference between an immigrant and a slave."

Ms. Waters added that she is also available for Tarot card readings and has several crystal balls.

The statement Waters was referring to was a remark Carson made in March at a HUD employees event when speaking about America.

"That's what America is about. A land of dreams and opportunity. There were other immigrants who came here in the bottom of slave ships, worked even longer, even harder for less," Carson said.

In May he said that poverty was "a state of mind." 

He said in an interview on Sirius SM radio: "You take somebody that has the right mindset, you take everything from them and put them on the street and I guarantee in a little while they'll be right back up there. And you take somebody with the wrong mindset, you can give them everything in the world, they'll work their way right back down to the bottom."

Sadly, Carson told the truth about recidivism with poverty and this is what really upsets Waters. 

She warned Carson that she'd be tough on him when he testifies before the House Committee on Financial Services, on which she is the ranking member.

Fortunately for Dr. Carson, Maxine Waters isn't bright enough to intellectually destroy a golden retriever, much less one of the most prominent pediatric neurosurgeons in the United States. 

He is also not the type of person to wage a personal attack when he's attacked, so Waters will believe she outdid him, when, in fact, she will look foolish and small.

May Day: over 40 leftists arrested nationwide

May Day. A public holiday that began as an ancient spring festival in the northern hemisphere. A holiday in many cultures where people dance and sing and let themselves eat cake. Children dance around the maypole. Happiness abounds.

Then the leftists screwed it up.

In the latter part of the 1800s, May Day was the date chosen for International Workers' Day by the Communists and Socialists of the Second International to honor the Haymarket affair in Chicago.

On Monday, police in Portland, Oregon had to shut down a May Day protest when it morphed into a riot after leftists began throwing smoke bombs and other paraphernalia at police. Twenty-five arrests were made, including a 14-year-old who was charged with rioting.

The Portland anarchists were dressed like ISIS scumcrumpets with covered faces and bandanas. They began breaking windows at businesses, setting fires on streets in the downtown area and damaged police cars.

In Seattle, Wash., five anarchists were arrested--one for throwing a rock as pro- and anti-Trump demonstrators faced off.

In the land of unicorns and magic mushrooms, Oakland, California, four people created a semi-human chain to block a county building and were arrested. They were demanding that county law enforcement refuse to collaborate with federal immigration officials. 

Ironically, none of the protesters had even one illegal immigrant with a criminal record living nearby to their homes.

In Olympia, Washington, police ordered anarchists to disperse, calling them "members of a mob" as they threw bottles, fired pepper spray and shot marbles from slingshots at police. Nine officers were struck and nine protesters were arrested who had lost their marbles.

Across the country, most protests were peaceful with simple, mindless chants demanding free stuff from people who had the stuff to give them through their own hard work.

In a park in Los Angeles, thousands of people waved American flags waving signs that read: "love not hate" and not hitting Trump supporters with them this time. 

The White House did not respond to requests for a response to the day's demonstrations, possibly because Trump knew that anything he said would be used against him.

Pro-Trumpers fight back at anti-Trump cowards

Jennifer Sterling

The left still cannot get over the loss they suffered at the hands of Donald Trump over the platform-less Hillary Clinton and her Russian ties. They came to start trouble at a Southern California pro-Trump rally at Huntington Beach on Saturday, and it turned violent when they tried to deny First Amendment rights to pro-Trumpers.

Pepper spray is their weapon of choice and they even sprayed the eyes of Jennifer Sterling, one of the organizers of the rally. Yes, big strong men with a weapon attacked a woman because they are either paid to do harm to people on the right, or simply disagree with their politics and believe they have the right to do harm and deny them their Constitutional rights.

Using pepper spray is not a new thing for these cowards; they used it on attendees of a Milo Yiannopoulos event in Berkeley in February. And while I don't particularly like Milo, he has the right to speak.

The Huntington Beach violence lead to four arrests.

The march had about 2,000 Trump supporters who waved American flags and wore MAGA hats. (Anything pro-America is apparently hated by the left.) About a dozen leftists hiding behind black masks formed a wall blocking the marchers as they made their way to Bolsa Chica State Beach.

Things began to intensify as the masked scumcrumpets began yelling and Jennifer Sterling and other women got pepper-sprayed. That's when some of the cowards ran away.

Travis Guenther's wife was one of the women pepper-sprayed and he, along with some others, chased down the maggot and struck him with a flag he was holding.

"I hit him five times with the flag over his head," Guenther said. When the police detained the pepper-spray puke, Guenther asked him "How is your head?"

Hopefully, the shock to the man's skull will have jarred some stupidity from his underdeveloped brain.

Capt. Kevin Pearsall said two people suffered minor injures but didn't require medical treatment.

Jennifer Sterling said the purpose of the patriotic rally was, in addition to show support to President Trump, was to also celebrate first responders, military veterans, and the vice president. 

How horrible of her.

Four people, all scumwafers, were arrested following the fighting that went on for about 30 minutes.

Three were arrested for illegal use of pepper spray and the fourth for alleged assault and battery, Capt. Pearsall said.

Fox News said the anti-Trumpers were trying to stop the march by creating a "human wall" and "appeared to be looking for trouble." This "bird dogging" by agitators has been going on for over a year.

There were 40 additional events affiliated with the Huntington Beach event but this was the only one marred by anti-Trump violence.

I think Russia is behind it.

Santa Monica synagogue desecrated with feces

Santa Monica, Calif. -- A synagogue entrance was smeared with feces (aka anti-Semite brains) and food in an antisemitic attack on the first night of Chanukah Saturday night.

As worshipers arrived Sunday morning at the Living Torah Center for prayers, they were appalled and shocked by the vandalism. One of the rabbis cleaned up the mess as best he could before services, however, some anti-Semite brains lodged in the upper corner of the building's facade, marring a window facing Wilshire Boulevard.

Rabbi Boruch Rabinowitz told Breitbart News that the attacks was not random. Assistant Rabbi Dovid Tenenbaum, who also serves as the local police department chaplain, called in the report.

It's believed the holiday menorah may have attracted additional attention to the synagogue. Insects are attracted by light.

Chanukah, or the "Festival of Lights," celebrated the Jewish revolt against Seleucid rule in Israel in 165 B.C. a long time before the Palestinians claimed the land as theirs, but I digress. According to the story, there was only enough oil in the Holy Temple sufficient for one day, but miraculously, it burned for eight days.

This was the second antisemitic incident in the past several weeks. In November, a black man burst into ongoing services, gave a Nazi salute and shouted "Heil Hitler," then made a machine-gun motion with his hands just before running away like a frightened pussycat.

Santa Monica is mostly a Democratic city and takes pride in an image of tolerance.
