It seems every step we take closer to November leads to a higher level of lying, lying to a superlative degree that it almost defies logic. For example it was claimed that 62% of California disapproves of Trump without revealing whether or not that 62% includes the millions upon millions of illegal aliens that the Democrats in California not only want to include in a survey but want to include in a vote. What Democrats are voting for is importing Mexican corrupt government and not maintaining righteous America principles.

@japan_nobunaga Outstanding post. Pro quality, while simply funny.

I went to In-N-Out and ordered a cheeseburger. The cashier, a calm young woman named Destiny, asked me a question I did not expect. "You want that Animal Style?" I paused. I did not know what this meant. But a samurai does not admit he does not know. So I answered with weight. "...Animal Style." "Cool. So that's mustard-grilled, extra spread, grilled onions, pickles. Yeah?" I understood now. This was a sacred permission. For one meal, I was being told to put down my manners at the door. To eat the way a beast eats, without shame. I had waited my whole life for someone to give me this order. "Yes," I said. "I will become the animal." Destiny did not blink. "...Okay. You want your fries Animal Style too?" I stopped. Even the potatoes? "The potatoes also become animals?" "I mean, they get cheese and sauce and grilled onions, so..." "Then yes. Let the potatoes abandon their restraint as well." "...Got it." She was the calmest woman I have ever met. "3x3, 4x4, or just the one?" I did not know these numbers, but I knew a challenge when I heard one. "How many must I face?" "It's, like, how many patties you want." "How many is the most honorable?" "...Four is a lot." "Then four. A warrior does not ask for fewer." She wrote it down without argument. A 4x4, Animal Style, with animal fries. She warned me once, kindly. "That's gonna be huge." I told her I was counting on it. It arrived. It was a tower. Cheese and sauce ran down my hands the moment I lifted it. There was no clean way to eat it. There was no dignified way. That was the entire point. I ate it like a beast. Both hands, no honor, grilled onion on my chin, and I have to be honest with you, it was the best thing I have ever put in my mouth. For thirty years I have kept my manners at every table in the world. They handed me a burger and told me to be an animal, and I have never felt so free. So tell me, America. The whole country knows the secret menu. What else are you hiding in plain sight? And "Animal Style." Was I eating the animal, or finally becoming one?

From the Telegram. British humor is, if anything, dry.

@GOP_is_Gutless My great-grandfather, Cyrenius Hinshaw, served in the Union Army as a foot soldier, fighting slave owners from 1863-1865. As for me, that's my family's payment of reparations.

Not if I have anything to say about it, they won’t…

In my now 83rd year, I look back at when I heard of Juneteenth for the first time. I was in Atlanta, Georgia, on Peachtree Street at a hotel where I was staying during a multi-ton drug conspiracy trial in which I represented some folks. I never heard of Juneteenth, so I was totally surprised that literally thousands of young kids dressed to the nines, ballroom gowns, tuxedos, top hats, canes. I didn't see any spats, but I bet there were some. These kids were going crazy down there in Atlanta having great fun and celebrating. I asked the clerk at the hotel desk, "Hey, buddy, what's all this celebration about?" His reply was "Juneteenth." Of course, my response was, "What's that?" I'd never forgotten the joy and friendship these kids showed, even after 40 years. Of course, Juneteenth is something truly to celebrate. All my life, I've been about freedom. I formed the Beat Obama pack in 2012 to overcome his administrative form of domination. I fought for freedom in many different ways, including a two-year stint fighting in Vietnam. Juneteenth should be a national holiday, and there are some that are less deserving, but that doesn't mean we can't combine some of them to make way for the Peachtree revelers.

🔥ARE YOU SERIOUS?!🔥 The banks are CLOSED for Juneteenth?!? A holiday most people had never even heard of a few years ago is now important enough to shut down parts of the country? 📍July 4th celebrates the birth of the United States. 📍Memorial Day honors those who died defending it. Yet somehow THIS gets elevated to national priority status?!? What do YOU think? Are u okay with banks being closed for Juneteenth?🇺🇸

I know you from YouTube. You continue doing a great job on growing your shtick. There, you likED my how-to solar power post; here comes what you will like this one much better? There is now only one issue of import in California, namely the voter ID measure. All the Newsom and other Democrat philanderers will be defeated if you help get this referendum passed at the upcoming state-wide election.

This man needs to be followed Shared & liked. He knows what he's talking about. Go to his YouTube page you'll understand a whole lot more,even if you're not from California

@EQuinones6310 @orlandomicki Adorable prose.

The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world. And they are not handling it well. In the best possible way. Here is what they are discovering: Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time. Free water at every restaurant. Just appears. Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited. Free chips and salsa before you even order. Free warm bread with dinner. Ice in drinks like civilized people. Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact. Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going. Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it. Ranch dressing by the gallon. Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced. Dental care that actually works. Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s. Then they found the grocery stores. Five of them within one mile. Each one the size of an aircraft hangar. Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday. The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes. In silence. Processing. They finally understand why we do not have trains. We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive. Parking lots the size of small European countries. Airports in every city worth visiting. Why would we need trains. The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle. The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak. The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre. The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas. Welcome to America! The greatest country on earth.

I attended a private University and Graduated with a BS in accounting, a masters of accounting and a juris doctor without any debt. I managed an apartment building, cleaned up after renters left including washing their toilets and cleaning all their curlies out of the shower. Also, I did simple bookkeeping after I got the hang of it. I tutored students below me. As well, I worked as a newspaper stringer and got paid by the article. There’s no work too humble, no work includingcleaning curlies, that is unworthy. Tell your son to get to work.

Where is the white privilege everyone talks about?? My 22-year-old son now wants to attend Aviation Mechanic School. It costs $40,000. They do not accept student aid. The only grants are these: 332 Heritage Foundation, Black Pilots of America, Latino Pilot Association, National Gay Pilot Association, Organization of Black Professionals, Professional Asian Pilots, Women in Aviation. So how is an average young white straight male supposed to go without me co-signing a full loan? 🤦‍♀️

The California Democrat Syndicate will continue to reign as long as they are not in jail. The corruption is so deeply embedded that they were able to import a voting majority from foreign lands virtually unopposed and supported by Big Blue. They have twisted our laws so that foreigners with impunity control our election.

@FreeAmericanMMP @cfbenninghoff @VDHanson @SteveHiltonx But LA also needs @spencerpratt

Import poverty; romanticize illegal immigration; demonize the middle class; drive out private-sector capital; and exempt elites from the consequences of their own ideology—and you’re left with a state where democracy dies, along with everything else. victorhanson.com/is-california-…

@its_jazzyg @japan_nobunaga Ladas, Ladas, Toujour Ladas

@cfbenninghoff @japan_nobunaga Getting set off is not a conversation maybe you need to relearn what that actually means. I would like to know who hurt you and why you are continuing here? This man has done nothing to anyone yet here you are defending yourself for accosting him.

I want to understand America properly 🇺🇸 For most Japanese people, "the right to own a gun" is a completely foreign idea. We simply… don't have it. So I'm asking sincerely: WHY is the 2nd Amendment so important to you? Not looking for a fight. Not judging. I genuinely want to hear it in your own words 🙏

@KUIDAORE2014 @pookausa41026 I would like not to lose the import of your attached text. How do you interpret it?

@cfbenninghoff @pookausa41026 🤨❓ United States relations with China, with special reference to the period 1944-1949, based on the files of the Department of State p.581

@ThrowawaySign @japan_nobunaga You need to do some more research. There are gun clubs throughout Japan where any person who wishes can pursue arms training. There's a national morality failure stemming from the Japanese conduct during World War II, including the infamous Rape of Nanking.

@cfbenninghoff @japan_nobunaga "For most Japanese people, "the right to own a gun" is a completely foreign idea." "...highly regulated and considered a privilege rather than a right." Do you write "Toes go in first" on your shoes?

@KaMillYon1 @VDHanson As for me, I would never suggest such be done.

@cfbenninghoff @VDHanson How do you guys explain to new transplants and vagrants that California was much better than it is now and that they shouldn’t settle just because “the weather and geography” holds up (for now)?

@pookausa41026 @japan_nobunaga Please explain the Rape of Nanking.

@cfbenninghoff @japan_nobunaga Because he thinks he's being really clever acting like some humble Japanese culture explorer while he's subtly spreading negative propaganda. 😉

I'm glad you got set off. I enjoy the conversation and the give and take. Is there anything else you'd like to know? What I would like to know, Jasmine, is how you would possibly consider 200,000 registered arms to be a disarmament. As well, a regulated process to acquire an arm if you wish. Then please edify me why a nation that committed such atrocities as the Rape of Nanking would do anything else.

@cfbenninghoff @japan_nobunaga Maybe it was the whole calling him a total idiot thing that set us off. You’re a total fucking backtracking idiot at this point. Accept the shoe down your throat and go away.

@luluraeven @japan_nobunaga I have been in Japan several times and am acclimated to their culture and recognize that issues like the Rape of Nanking indicate a national barbarity that would, in any nation committing such infamy, Mandate self-control.

@cfbenninghoff @japan_nobunaga Japan is an agricultural country with 70% mountain terrain. You fail to realize that firearms are mostly owned by nationally accredited hunters that protect communities and crops from bears, wild boar, deer and rabbits.

It is very incomplete, Karen. As I noted in other responses, the Japanese R*pe of Nanking and other cultural failures of that now-admired nation clearly explain why they seek to control themselves. America has never had that problem of self-control over barbarity like the Japanese have, and for good reason. We are not barbaric, but they have proven that they are. Nevertheless, 200,000 weapons is not insignificant and would satisfy a small army's need.

@cfbenninghoff @japan_nobunaga Name calling NOT called for. Just answer the question. It's a good one.

@SECPIALOPS @japan_nobunaga SECOPS, I am not a boomer! My generation is what made the boomers wealthy and smart, so smart you haven't been able to grab it all from them yet. If you were half as smart as you think you are, you'd be rich.

@cfbenninghoff @japan_nobunaga Succumb to age faster boomer.

@RogerThat1961 @japan_nobunaga When I was a River Patrol Boat (PBR) captain in '67-'68, the most valued possession on our boats was a shotgun that could take out five or six Charlies with one round. Roger, you don't know shit.

@cfbenninghoff @japan_nobunaga Shotguns and air-rifles? Those don't really count as guns, particularly the air-rifles.

Not so, Zero, because my reply was factually based and supported by actual data, but I do see that, because of social outrages like the massacre at Nanking by the Japanese Army, the country has worked to demilitarize itself. That being said, there are hundreds of thousands of weapons in Japan, not even including the Yakuza.

@cfbenninghoff @japan_nobunaga I'm use to coming across dumbass californians, but not usually those claiming to be native. Nobunaga is asking for an honest take on the importance of the 2nd amendment to us, and you go on attack

@BeIngRie @japan_nobunaga See my reply above, which applies to this counter-argument equally. You're right. Name calling is not necessary. Except when one is a total idiot.

@cfbenninghoff @japan_nobunaga Whoa! Name calling not necessary. Gun ownership is drastically more wiser sores in the US. Leaving this here with cited sources..it’s ok to provide perspective rather than reaction sometimes.
