  2. Donald Trump mocks disabled reporter.

    Mr Trump said the article had been written by a “nice guy” before continuing, “Now the poor guy, you gotta see this guy,” before contorting his right arm into a crooked pose and pulling a face in an apparent impersonation: “’Uh, I don’t know what I said. I don’t remember.’ He’s going, “I don’t remember. Maybe that’s what I said.’”

    Mr Kovaleski has arthrogryposis, which limits mobility of joints and can cause them to lock. It is noticeable in his right arm and hand…

  3. Wow. Just wow. I am smitten. I am so sorry to say that just moments ago was the first time I have listened to Blossom Dearie. It won’t, however, be the last time. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

  4. Ebd, can I ask you this? Given the current political atmosphere how is trump supposed to know a reporter is mocking him or handicapped? Are you, Lancy baby and about 30% of Americans currently not gunning for him? Has the media done anything at all that would give trump any reason not to trust them or possibly think negatively of them?

  6. That’s the best article I’ve ever read on how to deal with the rampant victimhood in our society. Unfortunately the comments therein remind me that we’re a LONG way off from squelching it.

  11. Guess who is funding ISIS?
    “In the next few days, we will present a full breakdown of Bilal’s various business ventures, starting with his BMZ Group which is the name implicated most often in the smuggling of illegal Iraqi and Islamic State through to the western supply chain, but for now here is a brief, if very disturbing snapshot, of both father and son Erdogan by F. William Engdahl, one which should make everyone ask whether the son of Turkey’s president (and thus, the father) is the silent mastermind who has been responsible for converting millions of barrels of Syrian Oil into hundreds of millions of dollars of Islamic State revenue.”

  12. Isn’t the Chinese Army a make work program to keep the unattached, unemployed, males off the street and build civil construction projects like the Three Gorges Dam?

  13. All this gotcha Trump stuff will backfire, is backfiring. The establishment hates an outsider.

  14. No surprise there, along with the Sunni run Gulf States. Turkey is also responsible for the muslim invasion of Europe, with Merkel as an (stupid) accomplice.

  16. Saw a tribute to Blossom Dearie at a New York City brunch a year ago at an upstairs jazz club on 46th Street. It was called the Blossom Dearie Songbook. Don’t know if it still is going on, though.

  17. Blossom Dearie was, well, simply wonderful. One of my all-time favourites. So, although I have all of her CDs, thanks for that. She died in 2009.
    Oh, and that was her real name!

  18. “Wow. Just wow. I am smitten. I am so sorry to say that just moments ago was the first time I have listened to Blossom Dearie. It won’t, however, be the last time. Thank you, thank you, thank you.”
    I know just how you feel. I didn’t learn about her until around 2000 while living in the UK. I was at Ray’s Jazz in Foyle’s bookshop, London, when they started playing one of her CDs.
    “Who is that singing?” I asked.
    I was hooked right then and there.

  19. here’s a suggestion Paul, trump knows the truth by now, that he mocked a disabled person at the very least unintentionally for the reasons you cite.
    is an apology coming forth? I doubt it. and dont defend the indefensible.
    ’nuff said.
    captcha triple 7s !!! woooo good omen !!!!

  20. Trump says he never saw the guy and therefore could not be mocking him.
    But in the speech he says, “You should see this guy …..” and does the crude impression.
    Let’s not be lefties and deny the undeniable.
    He mocked a disabled man. Period.
    We heretofore (if wary) supporters will have to weigh this travesty against the travesties planned by Dem and Repubs alike (except the notable exception of Cruz).
    His warlike view of trade (which mindset was a major contributor to the Great Depression); his reckless claim of “thousands” of NJ Muslims partying over 9/11; and now clear unequivocal mockery of a grotesquely deformed reporter. Man, not gonna be easy to continue being a Trumpist.

  22. In Weird Al Yankovic’s Youtube parody, “Word Crimes”, he says “You write like a spasdick”. The video has something like 28 million views and 27,000 comments. And, while I didn’t read everyone of those comments, I can tell you that it’s unlikely anyone complained about this egregious mocking of disabled people.
    I do believe that in this 1st world country….where everything that is said or done is criticized for some reason or other…..that, in general, people have become weary of the grievance industry. (Who isn’t tired of seeing 12 empty handicapped parking spots right in from of the store in the dead of winter or seeing somebody pop out of a car with a handicapped sticker on it and trot into the store.)
    Yeh, I think Senor Trump intended to mock the diabled reporter. But this mockery will not change the minds of Donald Trump’s base in the slightest. Indeed, they are sick and tired of PC behavior and will see the MSM “outrage” as just another attempt to bring him down (which it is of course).
    “Word Crimes” is here if you want to verify my statement:

  23. You wanna consensus, you really wanna consensus. Can you handle the consensus?
    Well here is one for yee.
    “The New ‘Consensus’: 97 Percent Of Americans Aren’t Worried About Global Warming”
    http://dailycaller.com/2015/11/25/the-new-consensus-97-of-americans-arent-worried-about-global-warming/
    “Even among Democrats concern for global warming was low. The Fox poll found only 6 percent of Democrats listed global warming as their top concern, compared to 1 percent of Republicans.”

  24. Now that I’ve dumped Trump (not a serious candidate after all): trade as war; thousands of NJ Muslims; mocking the grotesquely deformed reporter who said “alleged” and some Muslims not hundreds, certainly not thousands; I’m going with Cruz.
    Here’s Spengler’s (David Goldman) Top Ten Reasons to Vote for Ted Cruz. Smart?! Whoa!
    https://pjmedia.com/spengler/2015/11/24/daves-top-10-reasons-to-vote-for-ted-cruz/?singlepage=true
    These bullet points are not adequate (you really need to read the full piece).

    -He really knows economics
    -He really knows foreign policy
    -He really knows the political system.
    -He’s an outsider, and America needs an outsider.
    -Trump and Carson aren’t serious candidates.
    -Cruz is in but not of the system.
    -He’s got real grit–call it fire in the belly
    -He knows how to run a real campaign as opposed to a flash-in-the-pan media event.
    -He’s a true believer in the United States of America.
    -He can beat Hillary Clinton. Not just beat her, but beat her by a landslide.

  25. Trump has A long way to go before he’s worse than Hillary. Not necessarily to kick the disabled, but it is more of a social faux pas than a deep character flaw. If he does it again, we might get concerned, but once — meh. People are not perfect.

  27. Yeah, sure, because Mr RINO Jeb, is SO much a better candidate……./sarc
    You might like Carson, but its not gonna happen.
    And Cruz, although very liked by the far-right base, will be savaged by the Alinsky left.
    Fiorina? Wooden……Christie? The Bammy Hugger?
    The GOPs candidates are running thin, sorry. We will see Trump`s numbers after a couple weeks, I doubt this will have an effect, the lines are already drawn. And, the reporter is a leftist piece of trash, with a long history at the Slimes.

  28. AGW RIP.

    “Paris climate activists put under house arrest using emergency laws”
    “Several sources said that officers also raided three squats in Paris – and more across the country – seizing computers, documents and personal effects.
    Thousands of climate campaigners, including Vandana Shiva, have vowed to defy the blanket ban on demonstrations. One protest on Sunday will be protected by a ‘human chain’, while a day of civil disobedience will take place when the summit ends on 12 December, dubbed as ‘red lines’ day.”

  30. For sure LindaL.
    I would still pick Trump over any of the Dem candidates. By a country mile.
    My post referred to more than his social faux pas. Trade as war; obscene exaggeration re: NJ Muslims.
    I’ve also been pretty tolerant of his vague generalities too, not expecting him to have detailed solutions at this point. I even agree with his amusing rejoinder to that reporter about not wanting to be predictable.
    I went for Trump ‘cos he played my head tape loop out loud.
    And DanBC, Trump over Bush, Rubio or Fiorina for sure! And though I’m a libertarian, Paul too.
    Just to be clear. And I like Trump too.
    But he really is a loose cannon.

  31. As I am new to the beautiful music of Blossom Dearie, I will probably state what her fans have known forever. If you go to you tube and search: Blossom Dearie, Billy Taylor, 1985 TV Special, there is a wonderful 30 minute tv special. I am in love, l.u.v.

  33. Re “thousands of NJ muslims partying over 9/11”. I didn’t see it first hand, but a mate of mine who is also an electrician was working at the Celestica factory in Toronto on Don Mills Road on 9/11. He left the building fearing for his life when a party broke out among the mainly muslim workforce as the events unfolded, and he feared for his health and safety. He told me this story shortly after the events in question. I have no doubt at all that New Jersey muslims behaved in exactly the same way.

  34. Mohammed says: More shocking moments.

  35. Trudeau is throwing taxpayers’ money off the back of a truck. He’s likely never had to curtail his own spending. WHY ON EARTH should Canadians have to fork over $2.65 billion (over five years) to countries that don’t have their acts together and all for the sake of a global FRAUD? The UN has revealed that ‘climate change’ means the revamping of the economic systems of the world, or, according to the Pope, a new world governance. Already, the U.N. globalists are mixing up the demographics (read, cultures) of countries that will go along with this scheme. The end result appears to be Islamic domination. Down with the destroyers!
