Marianne Williamson admits she screwed up 1st debate

Marianne Williamson was the great hope for the GOP in the first debate, except that she is campaigning on the Democratic ticket. Republicans love her because she came off as the perfect whack-job to give Trump another four years if she could miraculously achieve the nomination.

Her first debate performance certainly made her stand out, but it also made her the subject of Twitter memes and roundtable jokes. Now she plans to reverse that trend by presenting herself as a serious candidate in next week's Democratic Party presidential debates.

It's debatable whether or not she can pull it off, but we shall see.

Speaking with USA Today, the wellness self-help pontificator plans to change up her delivery this time around so that it would reflect more of her substance, something lacking in the Democratic Party for many years.

"I hope that this time my delivery will be more aligned with my substance," Williamson told the outlet. "I don’t regret the substance of anything I said, but I understand that my delivery made me vulnerable to mockery." [Hahahaha]

"Every day on the campaign trail is preparation. Every day you’re thinking about issues, writing about issues, talking about issues, learning about issues," she continued. "It’s a continuous process. To me that’s the best preparation."

"I need to just be myself," she mistakenly concluded.

Marianne Williamson rose to prominence in the early '90s as a regular guest on "The Oprah Winfrey Show," where she would often preach her new age balderdash about love, healing, and external forces that people can harness if they just love each other more [and kissy-huggy, snuggle bunny better].

At the first Democratic debate in June, she gave America a small glimpse into her psyche when she declared that she would harness the power of love to defeat President Trump's harnessing of fear:

"I’m sorry we haven’t talked more tonight about how we’re going to beat Donald Trump. I have an idea about Donald Trump. Donald Trump is not going to be beaten just by insider politics talk. He’s not going to be beaten just by somebody who has plans. He’s going to be beaten by somebody who has an idea what the man has done. This man has reached into the psyche of the American people and he has harnessed fear for political purposes. 

"So, Mr. President — if you’re listening — I want you to hear me please: You have harnessed fear for political purposes and only love can cast that out. So I, sir, I have a feeling you know what you’re doing. I’m going to harness love for political purposes. I will meet you on that field, and sir, love will win."

Rim shot!

While her performance inspired chuckles and mockery, people also fell somewhat in love with her whacky persona and couldn't get enough of it. Republicans even began donating to her campaign just to keep her on the debate stage.

Some liberals have warned that Democrats should not ignore her candidacy, arguing that she's the perfect embodiment of a left-wing Donald Trump — an ultra-feminine public figure who appeals to wellness-oriented suburban housewives more effectively than a naive Marxist radical like Sen. Bernie "Pass the Pudding" Sanders (I-VT).

Rolling Stone referred to her as the "cosmic sorceress we need now," while Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times warned Democrats to "ignore Marianne Williamson at your own peril."

Imagine if she does, by some divine intervention, win the nomination for the 2020 election. What nickname would President Trump bestow upon her?

Marianne Williamson wants a 'Department of Peace' if she become POTUS

Is Marianne Williamson the antithesis of President Trump or simply a love-raging, stone-clutching lunatic whose goal as president would be to teach China, Russia and North Korea the words to "Kumbaya"? Is it possible that all she is saying is "give peace a chance?"

Williamson has called for a "Department of Peace" during her Monday night appearance on "The Late Show."  This nearly brought tears to the eyes of fellow leftist and the show's host Stephen Colbert.

Colbert asked Williamson, author of "Politics of Love" if she would order others to "kill our enemies" as POTUS, to which she replied "absolutely." She would kill the crap out of them.

"I think that when you take an oath of office of the president of the United States, part of that oath means that you are commander in chief," Williamson explained correctly to the simple studio audience. "But I think if you're going to talk about peace, you can't just back up into peace... My critique of our national security agenda is not a critique of the military. It's a critique of the politicians who have based our national security agenda as much on short-term profit maximization for defense contractors as it has on any agenda for creating peace. When was the last time you heard a politician talking about peace on this planet in 20 years? That's why I want a Department of Peace."

So what she's saying is, we only build up our military to enrich the pockets of defense contractors, not to actually defend the nation against foreign threats.

Colbert recalled a conversation he had listened to between former American diplomat Richard Holbrooke and stoner musician Willie Nelson where Nelson asked, "'Why don't we have a Department of Peace?'" To which Holbrooke responded, "'Willie, we do. It's called the State Department. It's just not used that way.'"

Williamson knocked the current budget for peace building agencies, which she said gets less than $1 billion of the $40 billion State Department budget.

The "Late Show" host then pointed out how she had the podium at the far end of the debate stage last month and asked Williamson if she felt "marginalized" because they put the more popular Democrats, those with the most support, in the middle since it makes  more sense.

"My placement on the podium is the least of of the ways that I feel marginalized in this election," Williamson responded. "But I understand how it works and I understand that there's this sort of political media industrial complex. [She was being totally serious when she called it the 'media industrial complex'.] And last time it was 'It has to be Bernie [Sanders] and this time it's 'Oh, it can be any of these four or five.' And I have a problem with that. I challenge the idea that only people whose careers have been entrenched for decades in the limitations of the mindset that drove us into this ditch that they're the only ones we should consider qualified to take us out of the ditch."

How can you not love this woman? She's a little verbose, a little cutesy and a whole lot Love Boat on steroids.

The presidential longshot dismissed the idea that the "safe choice" in someone like former Vice President Joe Biden since it could be "the most dangerous thing we could possibly do." That's because Biden needs a reminder to tie his shoes, much less run a country.

"I think that when we think of political qualifications today, we should expand our sense of what those qualifications are," Williamson blathered on. "A political qualification today should include political vision, it should include moral certitude, it should include the capacity to move groups of people, large groups of people towards a common goal, a common vision, a law for democracy and a law for our world and a love for our planet."

Williamson's political vision, outside of frequent hugs and perhaps drugs, is unclear.

All jihadists want is love, a job and to kill us

Poor, misunderstood and unloved

Hamburg, Germany -- He needed a job, but they didn't want to give him a job, so he snapped.

He was poor, which was why he did it in the first place. If we had just given him a job, it would have never happened. 

He needed love. A few hugs at the right time and a kind smile--that would have reassured him, it would have told him that he counts for something. But we didn't show him love, and that's why he did it.

A job, some money and some love. That's all liberals would say that it would have taken for 19-year-old Afghan from storming into the Versohnungskirche [Church of Reconciliation] in Hamburg. He threw chairs and benches, kicked down the Bible stand, threw hymn books on the floor, and splintered glass everywhere.

It was open community everning, around 7:20 p.m. and those in the church were afraid to stop the young, misunderstood lad. The fact that he was dressed in swirling Islamic garb and may have had a suicide vest underneath, may have also contributed to the reluctance to intervene.

Due to the fact that the jihadist did not speak as he went about destroying Christian symbols, and had no Salafist connections, the State Protection Department's criminal prosecution agency made the brilliant dhimmie assumption that there was no "Islamist" motive involved with the Islamic youth.

Peter, an eyewitness to the attack, sent PI the photo of the jihadist attacker as he did his damage. Once the attacker was done, Peter asked the attacker in front of the congregation why he had done it, to which came the screaming response: "Because I am a Muslim!"

Liar.

ISIS, Saudi Arabia, suicide bomber and love

Dubai, UAE -- While Americans were celebrating the Fourth of July with fireworks, a suicide holiday bomber used his own fireworks to blow himself up near the U.S. diplomatic site in Jiddah, a western Saudi city, the Interior Ministry reported.

The ministry said the Muslim jihadist pulled the detonator on his suicide vest when he was approached by security guards in the parking lot of a hospital. The Islamic bomber died from religious causes and two security guards were injured with minor cuts and bruises.

Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. General Mansour al-Turki stated that the attacker caught the attention of the security guards as they noticed him acting suspiciously at an intersection by the Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital by the corner of the gunned-to-the-teeth U.S. Consulate in Jiddah.

Most of the consulate staff have moved to a new location.

The U.S. Embassy in Saudi Arabia confirmed there were no injuries or casualties among the consular staff and the embassy is staying in contact with Saudi authorities as they investigate which sura in the Quran could have led the suicide bomber to go all to pieces.

Nobody claimed responsibility but the bomber gave a 'shout-out' to Allah when he let it rip. The ministry didn't say whether there was evidence the bomber was planning to target the U.S. diplomatic compound, but the smart money is on that possibility.

You can also bet that President Barack Hussein Obama is going to have a few harsh words of condemnation of the attack and that should make a Saudi feel safe when cuddling up to his four wives.

"We condemn these acts of violence in the strongest possible terms," the administration might say, adding "and our thoughts and prayers go out to all the families of the victims and to those who survived."

Saudi Arabia has recently been targeted by the Islamic State and dozens of 'not-Muslim-enough' Muslims have been killed. ISIS views the Western alliance of the Saudi monarchy and government as heretics. ISIS views everyone who is not a member of ISIS as heretics, including their own mothers.

Due to the anemic theocratic ideology of Islam, nobody is allowed to question it. If you dare to question why so much of the Koran sounds like a cartoon version of "A Boy and His Camel," you will be killed. If you say something bad about Muhammad, such as that he was a pedophile, slave-owner, anti-Semitic thief and murderer, you will be killed. 

If you dare to claim that Islam is not a religion of peace, you will be killed.

Last month, the Interior Ministry reported 26 terror attacks had transpired in Saudi Arabia over the last 2 years. Shi'ites, a different sect from the Sunnis, were targeted because they fall into the category of "Not Religious Enough and Heretical."

Monday's attack comes just a few days before Eid al-Fitr, the end of the holy month (LOL) of Ramadan. That is the month whereby religious Muslims fast daily from dawn to sundown and easily get pissed off from hunger pangs.


The U.S. Embassy often issues advisory messages for U.S. citizens in Saudi Arabia. On Sunday they issued one after the attack, figuratively closing the barn door before the camels escaped. The message urged Americans foolish enough to be in Arabia to "remain aware of their surroundings, and take extra precautions when traveling throughout the country." They also advised citizens to "carefully consider the risks of traveling to Saudi Arabia."

Gee, you think?

Department of Justice Attorney General  Loretta Lynch said that it was unfortunate the suicide bomber never got to know how much she loved him.
