Alex Jones Says “Michelle Obama Is a Man” Who Murdered Joan Rivers

It’s so obvious, people

Watching Alex Jones rant away in his latest web video about Michelle Obama murdering Joan Rivers to cover up the fact that she’s actually a man, it’s difficult to believe this madman actually has two million regular listeners.

But even worse — he has a direct line to Donald Trump, the Republican nominee for president of the United States.

“Don’t forget,” Jones said, “the famous comedienne Joan Rivers said, ‘Of course everyone knows she’s a tranny.’ She’s dead serious, ‘She’s a man.’ Deader than a doornail in a routine operation where basically she had fire poured down her throat and was a fire-breathing goblin. Dead on arrival. Shoot your mouth off, honey, you will die.”

“I really think — her daughters don’t look like her — I really think this is some weird hoax they did again,” he said, “just like he didn’t get sworn in on the Bible, it was the Quran. All this weirdness, I mean, I used to laugh at this stuff, but man, it’s all about rubbing our noses in it. I think it’s all an arranged marriage, it’s all completely fake and it’s this big sick joke because he’s obsessed with transgender, just like some weird cult or something. I think Michelle Obama is a man. I really do. I really do. I believe it.”

I’m already seeing tweets about Bernie supporters claiming voter suppression in Kentucky. Specifically, they are claiming their voter registrations were changed.

Factoid: In Kentucky you had to change your party registration by December 31. If you did so after that date, it doesn’t take effect and show up on the polling books until the 2017 primary.

I saw that story this morning over at RightWingWatch. Here’s the money quote from him in my opinion…. Jones told his listeners yesterday that he’s seen enough videos on the internet to substantiate the rumor.

So we have a new standard for proof…. large number of Internet videos = factual thing.

This really changes the meaning of “Truth” now doesn’t it?

I, for one, welcome my talking dog overlords.

Pennsylvania teacher compares accommodations for special needs students to appeasing Hitler

“There is absolutely nothing positive I can say to this. Shame on this district. It would be nice if we spent this much extra time on the regular Ed and gifted students. You know, those that are going to amount to something,” Kosco wrote. “This mom is absolutely nuts and the child is ignorant and insolent!”

The girl, now 12, attended Tenth Street Elementary, when the principal sent out a request for testing strategies to accommodate her needs.

“SO we are continuing to follow the policy of appeasement,” Kosco wrote. “Look how that worked out with Hitler.”

I think this idiocy began with this video:

And I think it is completely tongue in cheek.

From what I understand, the video was based on an article on Christwire, which is a satirical news site. Yet a large number of conservatives seem to believe this is true.

Of all the rumors and conspiracy theories out there about every President since the founding of the Republic, this is by far the dumbest. It isn’t worth rebutting. I feel I have made you all dumber for posting about it, as well as myself, so I apologize for that. But it goes to show you just how gullible some conservatives are. And it makes me think, again, that I’m in the wrong business. I - or anyone really - could make millions pedaling provable nonsense as long as it was anti-Obama, or anti-HIllary, or even anti-Bill Clinton.

Alas, my scruples prevent me from doing so.

Guns-Everywhere-Tennessee: Man in Memphis Shoots 3-Year-Old Girl After Being Rejected By Her Mother

On Sunday night, a Memphis man opened fire on a woman and her three year-old daughter after she refused his advances. The girl was hit multiple times, and is now in the hospital in “extremely critical condition.”

The gunman, who is still on the run, had had a confrontation with the girl’s mother. Local Memphis reports that, after the woman rejected him, he flew into a rage and fired into the car.

Perhaps they are thinking that if everyone in Puerto Rico, bracing for a Zika outbreak, flees or dies, then they can liquidate the island’s assets to pay off its creditors./wouldn’t put it passed them.

Private companies have the right to make decisions based on the simple goal of maximizing profit.

Some marketing geeks crunched the numbers and ran the figures past management, and that was their decision,

I understand that to many, Marvel Comics are more than that: they are some sort of role models, the way that sports figures and teams are regarded in some circles.

I’ll join in the jokes about it but fighting is definitely down across the league. They’ve been pushing to reduce it naturally, and it’s been working. Nothing at ALL like it was in the 80s.

That’s why the John Scott thing was such big news - he was one of the few ‘enforcers’ left in the league, and probably doesn’t play anywhere next year. (Also just a genuinely awesome guy, per most all of his teammates ever.)

You can’t afford a 4th line that doesn’t know how to play hockey anymore. You can maybe afford one player …but not really.

Part of the concern with that is that the NHL is already regarded as a low-scoring league, and the trend has been going down in recent seasons. They’re trying to balance the pace of the game so that it’s exciting, but not meaningless like NBA basketball.

Goalie gear is being shrunk for next season.

Part of it is that goalies have just gotten bigger. The number of guys out there 6’3” or taller is INSANE.

I’d like to think part of the scoring decline is also that the players are doing less cocaine than they were in the 80s. >.>

It’s the defendants’ claim that the Property Clause of the Constitution (Article 4, Section 3, Clause 2), which says that “The Congress shall have Power to dispose of and make all needful Rules and Regulations respecting the Territory or other Property belonging to the United States,” forbids the government from owning property, merely holding it for later disposal.

The ACA is such a failure that it’s brought the uninsured rate to under 10%, it didn’t cause mass unemployment, and now economists are saying the Cadillac tax will do exactly what the proponents said it would - reduce distortion in the health care pricing.

Of course, unions and other groups want to see the tax disappear, but for different reasons. Unions are thinking of the costs to their members, while the right wing wants to starve ACA programs of a tax used in funding other parts of the program.

Yes they are. Grocery stores, bars and restaurants, places like CVS are all adding automation to cut personnel. I try to use the real human for my business. A full time $10 hr employee min wage costs what, about $12.50 or $13.50 an hour with taxes etc. $28k each person.
